Dragon Monarch
Chapter 37 - Lin Yan the Sly Fox
After Long Ti and Long Zu read the recommendation letter, they finally understood that Lin Yan was a descendant of a strong cultivator whom even the Heavenly Dragon sect master respected. Naturally the two of them would not doubt the Sky Dragon sect master's judgment since the Heavenly Dragon sect was part of the Star Kingdom.
However, to obtain the preferential treatment of the Heavenly Dragon sect master, Long Ti and Long Zu were speculating that one of the Lin Yan family was definitely a hidden cultivator as strong as the Heavenly Dragon sect master even though they actually did not know that their speculation was too low.
Having already confirmed Lin Yan's identity, the two of them naturally treated Lin Yan seriously and were unwilling to make the mistake of provoking the fury of the strong man behind Lin Yan, perhaps even the Heavenly Dragon sect master would help Lin Yan according to them in case of trouble.
Long Zu returned Lin Yan's recommendation letter then said. “Then what do you want to offer?”
Without wasting any time, Lin Yan took out four swords of the same class as the previous white sword. He must be careful with both parents.
“Oh? I didn't expect that you would have four of them.” Long Ti picked up the other sword on the table then stroked it with a look of love.
Before anyone spoke again, a knock on the door sounded.
“Who is disturbing? Does he not know that we are doing important business here?” Long Zu frowned. Since the room has a certain barrier, it will not be able to track it out nor will someone be able to track something from the outside inside.
“I told one of the waiters to deliver tea according to Lin Yan.” said Long Ti.
“Oh.” Long Zu was a little awkward and said. “Log.”
The female servant earlier went inside. He was a little nervous because this was the second time he had entered the room in recent years. He put the tea on the table and poured it carefully.
“You should give him a gift because he was the one who served Lin Yan so well.” Long Ti said once again.
“Good, since you previously served guests well, you stay here to pour tea if needed or take something else if needed. I'll also give you another gift for later.” Long Zu was certainly not stingy as in his opinion, the female servant managed to attract Lin Yan's interest to negotiate with the Long Pavilion.
“Good sir.” the maid bends slightly and slowly backs away keeping her distance to make room for her not to get in the way. But he was shocked beyond measure because it seemed that Long Ti and Long Zu respected Lin Yan greatly. Just this time he saw a child highly valued by members of the Royal family.
“Please drink the tea.” said Long Zu with a smile.
Lin Yan nodded small. He sipped his tea and drank it, of course he often drank tea to the point that he looked like a tea-addling old man. This was due to his habit with his grandmother.
Seeing the way Lin Yan sipped and drank tea, they understood that Lin Yan looked like a member of the Royal Family.
From that, they knew that Lin Yan had received a strict education from childhood.
After putting down the tea, Lin Yan spoke. “I want to exchange these four swords for resources. If it satisfies me, I will take out another item that has a higher price than the sword. Maybe.”
Long Ti and Long Zu looked at each other. Of course they know the price of the four swords is very expensive and think about what resources are suitable as a medium of exchange. It was very noticeable that Lin Yan was not interested in gold coins so the two of them had to think hard.
“If you have a heavy spear with a slender blade, I will exchange it also for one of these swords even though the quality is slightly lower.” continued Lin Yan.
“Oh? If so, one of your requests will not be difficult.” Long Ti nodded then took out the animal skin. He recorded a few things and told the servant to take them.
After the servant came out, Lin Yan spoke again. “Who is that waitress?”
“Are you interested in him? She is indeed beautiful, but you better get acquainted with a member of the Royal family.” Long Zu offered the members of the Kingdom. It could be, they would tie him to it. It could deepen the relationship with the Lin Yan family and even the Heavenly Dragon sect master.
Long Ti rolled his eyes knowing what Long Zu was aiming for. But he just kept quiet because it was a good proposal.
“No. I need a servant for myself to handle things I might not have had time to hold onto. He looks smart, that's what makes me interested.” said Lin Yan as he looked at Long Zu with smelly eyes for offering his relatives.
Long Zu felt a little awkward then let out a long sigh. He leaned back in a comfortable chair and spoke. “He is the remnant of the clan that lost the war. When her clan lost, only a few of them remained and she was the daughter of the clan head. Because all their property was looted, eventually the debt of his clan to the Star Kingdom was demanded to be repaid by the boy.”
“We make lightening by means of employing him for life in this place. It will be more efficient than selling it into slaves even though it may not be able to cover its clan debt.” Long Zu said.
“Oh? How much do they owe?” asked Lin Yan curiously.
Long Zu and Long Ti fell silent for a moment. Not long after, Long Zu replied. “It can be said, their debt amounted to 10 swords like this.”
“Really little. Where is it big?” inner Lin Yan but pretended to be surprised. He certainly had many precious objects in his space ring. There were even some of those things that were likely to have a price a hundred times more valuable than any of the swords he took out.
They were not surprised when Lin Yan was surprised because it was a natural thing.
Lin Yan holding his chin looked like he was thinking. He then spoke, “If it was worth ten swords, with himself for a lifetime in this place, it would probably only cover the price of one sword.”
Lin Yan's words did not miss at all. Long Zu and Long Ti had already thought about it completely.
“What if this is the case, I give one of these swords to the Royal family and I will bring it.” continued Lin Yan.
Long Ti and Long Zu were surprised by Lin Yan's offer. They had not expected that Lin Yan would dare to sacrifice one of his swords to bring the servant.
