2154 You’re Going to Provide Us With Futures?

Weng Queji patted Jin Qianxun’s shoulder and said, “Your luck has come!”

The other leaders of the secret aristocratic families did not understand what Weng Queji meant.

However, Jin Qianxun understood perfectly.

At that moment, Jin Qianxun’s body started to tremble with excitement. His delight was no longer as suppressed as it previously was.

Previously, Jin Qianxun had been afraid that the other leaders of the secret aristocratic families would cause trouble for him.

Although Weng Queji was acting in a friendly manner toward him, Jin Qianxun found it difficult to trust Weng Queji. After all, they had only started to become closer.

But now that Lin Yuan was there, the aura that Jin Qianxun had been suppressing was released.

Weng Queji shook his head at the change in Jin Qianxun.

Even a person who was so conforming to norms could stumble on such luck.

If he did not have someone’s support, Jin Qianxun would not even have the power and capabilities to make a claim to be the second step on the imperial court’s staircase.

While the leaders of the secret aristocratic families were confused, Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Su Yiren appeared outside Weng Queji’s tent.

Weng Queji’s two retainers knew what his intentions were. They knew that their master would swear his loyalty to these three people and that they would become these three people’s servants.

The two retainers bowed deeply while pulling the strings of pearls at the entrance of the tent apart for Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Su Yiren to enter.

If any leader of a secret aristocratic family saw this, their jaws would instantly drop in shock.

Usually, the two retainers did not even have to nod in greeting or spare a glance at the leaders of the secret aristocratic families.

Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Su Yiren’s sudden entrance into the tent caused the leaders of the secret aristocratic families to assume that they were uninvited guests.

The leaders of the secret aristocratic families had never seen the three of them before.

Liu Jie and Lin Yuan had black hair and eyes, which fit with the features of the locals of the Great Lush Federation.

Meanwhile, Su Yiren had purple hair and eyes. It was clear that she was not from the Great Lush Federation.

However, Weng Queji had to have given permission for these three people to appear here. Otherwise, they would not have gotten past the two retainers by the entrance of the tent.

While the leaders of the secret aristocratic families were guessing the identities of these three people, Weng Queji and Jin Qianxun stepped forward toward Lin Yuan.

Jin Qianxun behaved the same way that the two retainers outside the tent had and bowed to Lin Yuan, Su Yiren, and Liu Jie.

Jin Qianxun’s respectful display made his stance clear.

Lin Yuan nodded at Weng Queji before he helped Jin Qianxun upright.

By bowing, Jin Qianxun had made it clear that he was submissive to Lin Yuan.

However, such an attitude made it difficult for him to earn the acknowledgment of the other leaders of the secret aristocratic families.

Nonetheless, this indicated to Lin Yuan that Jin Qianxun intended to cling to him for the foreseeable future.

Jin Qianxun had chosen to show his respect to Lin Yuan, maintaining the intimidating might of a ruler.

Sometimes, Jin Qianxun’s lack of ambition and dominance gave Lin Yuan a headache.

However, he had to admit that Jin Qianxun’s personality made it easier for Lin Yuan to take control of the Great Lush Federation. He did not have to worry about Jin Qianxun developing the courage to try and escape his control.

Weng Queji had already created a comfortable environment for him.

Lin Yuan intended to help Jin Qianxun to bolster his might.

Lin Yuan was not planning on staying in the Great Lush Federation for long.

The Banquet of Everything in the Marsh East Circle was about to start in a month or two. Lin Yuan would rather invest more of his energy into his establishments in the marsh world than in the Great Lush Federation.

Lin Yuan saw the Startling Lines Continent as Sky City’s back garden, which secured Sky City’s source of resources.

But he saw the marsh world as a new world that he needed to venture into and explore.

Lin Yuan needed to spend a large amount of time in the marsh world.

The Freedom Federation had started developing the marsh world.

As Lin Yuan developed the marsh world, there was a chance that he would bump into people from the Freedom Federation.

As Lin Yuan looked into Jin Qianxun’s yearning and excited gaze, he declared, “You probably remember my promise to allow you to stand by my side. With my support, you can do whatever you want.”

Jin Qianxun’s heart skipped a beat.

The meaning behind Lin Yuan’s words was clear.

He was saying that he would be Jin Qianxun’s stable support and that Jin Qianxun could do whatever he felt was necessary to gain the acknowledgment of the secret aristocratic families. He was also saying that he would claim the throne of the Great Lush Federation for Jin Qianxun.

Jin Qianxun understood Lin Yuan’s intentions.

However, he could not muster up his courage in front of the other leaders of the secret aristocratic families who heaped pressure on him on a daily basis.

Although the members of the secret aristocratic families did not know who Lin Yuan was, they could guess his status just from the fact that Weng Queji had bowed to him.

However, Lin Yuan’s words to Jin Qianxun made Hou Meng and the rest extremely uncomforted.

Hou Meng was the first to raise his protest.

Jin Qianxun had already heard many doubtful voices that were aimed at him, and they all added to the pressure weighing down on his chest.

Just like Su Yiren, Liu Jie saw Jin Qianxun as extremely mediocre.

Lin Yuan had presented Jin Qianxun with such a golden opportunity, yet he did not have the courage to reach out to grab it. Was he expecting Lin Yuan to spoon-feed him?

Liu Jie could not help but scoff caustically.

Jin Qianxun had seen Liu Jie in Oak City and knew that he was Lin Yuan’s personal bodyguard.

Liu Jie’s scoff could represent Lin Yuan’s opinion.

Jin Qianxun was the most afraid of Lin Yuan being displeased with him.

Jin Qianxun remembered Lin Yuan saying that he could do whatever he wanted.

Jin Qianxun mustered his courage and looked Hou Meng and the rest in the eye as he started to speak, enunciating each word. “There are almost 300 leaders of secret aristocratic families present. All 300 of you should take the chance to swear your loyalty to me! With this assurance, I will be able to trust and rely on you once I become king of the Great Lush Federation. This will allow you to head toward bright futures!”

Jin Qianxun’s words set off all the secret aristocratic family leaders.

What!? Jin Qianxun, who do you think you are? You’re going to provide us with futures? You aren’t fit to become king of the Great Lush Federation!

Not only do you have the audacity to have such ambition, but you dare to ask us to swear our loyalties to you on our Willpower Runes!? If we do that, our lives will be in your hands!
