Divine Beast Creator-Chapter 1179 - 1180: Special Visitors

"Huh, it’s actually okay, just, you know I’m not really into this kind of thing..."

With a chuckle, Feng Yuan explained, while Zhong Liuyan laughed softly and said,

"Sorry, I just wanted everyone to have fun together, but..."

Admittedly, she hadn’t expected the class divide between her elite family friends and her classmates to be so substantial that even though she tried her best to keep both sides happy, the classmates were still inevitably left feeling somewhat neglected.

"It’s impossible. The existence of class isn’t entirely manmade. It would be strange if they could really mingle with those people. After all, they are Beastmasters," he remarked.

Glancing at the spacious hall, Feng Yuan shook his head helplessly, thinking that unless his classmates had some special plans, they wouldn’t have much to talk about with those elite guests. Most of his classmates who attended were those who had passed the academy’s assessments.

There was no choice, the invitations to Zhong Liuyan’s banquet stated that the main event was in the evening, while the daytime was set aside for activities. Most of the classmates who hadn’t passed the academy’s assessments were not very interested in those activities, including the training matches, since what they lacked was not one or two sessions of coaching but continuous resources.

They naturally have their own considerations and would not go out of their way to interact with the elite family scions. Agunas flicked his tail and said,

"I think I saw Liao Yu and his group here; wonder what’s going on?"

"No way? I should be not that unlucky..."

Startled, Feng Yuan expressed his disbelief. He was confident that he wasn’t the type to attract trouble. How could attending a banquet lead to unexpected complications?

Zhong Liuyan seemed to know why they came, laughed lightly, and said,

"They were invited by my father. There are many family heads present today. If they didn’t send someone, should any issues arise, it could cause significant problems."

"However, I’m not sure why General Shen is here as well, he seems to be looking for you."

Observing Feng Yuan closely, Liu Yan seemed surprised. Although her father was one of the core members of the Zhang Family, even he had to be polite to General Shen. There was no helping it, the man was not only the former commander of the Great Xia Southern Region but had also contributed significantly to the defensive wars.

If they were to displease him, they might not be able to do anything to the Zhang Family immediately, but given the chance, he would certainly take his revenge. Those old veterans who contributed extensively during the defensive wars are people that the great families have to respect. Not to mention Chang Nianyun, who for some reason has always looked unfavorably upon these family powers.

They have no desire to give these veterans a reason to take action. Rather than saying they were afraid, it’s more accurate to say that both sides tacitly kept their conflicts to a minimum. Otherwise, if a real fight broke out, nobody could predict the fallout. Both the military and these family powers possess considerable strength. A civil conflict, even without foreign enemies, could easily plunge Great Xia into turmoil.

"General Shen? Looking for me?"

Scratching his head in confusion, Feng Yuan admitted to himself that he didn’t recall knowing any General Shen. Veronia seemed to remember something and mentioned,

"The old man who sells bonsai at the department store?"

"Oh, him. But what would he want with me?"

Feng Yuan was still puzzled when he recalled the man. If he wasn’t mistaken, they had met only once; why would the man seek him out now? Seeking help wasn’t likely. Liao Yu and his group might be possible, but General Shen clearly knew his situation and would understand that he couldn’t meddle in the border wars.

Apart from the border conflicts, what else could require his assistance? Currently, there weren’t any bizarre incidents within Great Xia, and even the activities of the G Organization had quieted down recently. The quiet of the G Organization within Great Xia had also eased the pressure on Great Xia’s Special Duty Team.

Smoothing out Xiao Ji’s feathers, Feng Yuan smiled and asked,

"Let’s go, where is everyone now?"

"I thought you didn’t want to see me, so I intentionally avoided you."

Seeing Feng Yuan walking into the entertainment hall, the elder he had met before laughed heartily and patted Feng Yuan on the back, saying, "After Zhong Liuyan politely saluted Mr. Shen Weiguo, she turned and left, knowing that the other party must have some private matter to discuss with Feng Yuan. Scratching his head in confusion, Feng Yuan looked at the other party and asked,"

"Are you... looking for me about something?"

"Regarding the border, do you have any good ideas?"

Shen Weiguo’s eyes narrowed as he quickly scanned the surroundings before whispering in Feng Yuan’s ear. The crisis at the border always made him restless. As for publicly issuing a warning? That would be difficult, after all, they hadn’t really caught the other party red-handed. They were only relying on the clues they had analyzed so far, and even if they were to report to the Alliance, it would likely be a tricky issue to handle.

"No, I can only wait for their move. But with Eclipse keeping watch, nothing should happen."

"If you are really worried, you could start by evacuating most of the people from the border."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Shen Weiguo shook his head and sighed,

"That won’t do. Even though we’ve already evacuated the civilians, the border troops cannot be withdrawn, otherwise..."

Even though he had anticipated that the other side might do something untoward, it had not yet been confirmed. If they were to withdraw the troops now, the other countries would likely be more than happy to take over the territory that Great Xia had vacated voluntarily, and that was something that none of them could accept.

"But like this, I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to save everyone in time."

Glancing at Shen Weiguo, Feng Yuan said with a headache, knowing that withdrawing everyone wasn’t realistic. Unless he moved to the border now, he didn’t have the capability to reach the border immediately, let alone save everyone.

Bowing his head, Shen Weiguo murmured,

"I know, we won’t blame you. We are aware of the dangers of the border. You... have already done a lot for Great Xia, you shouldn’t be the one responsible for this. However, if you have any good ideas..."

"No, unless we take the initiative to strike and force them to reveal that thing, otherwise, I don’t have any particularly good ideas. But to take the initiative to strike..."

Feng Yuan glanced at Shen Weiguo and said no more. Currently, Great Xia was not prepared for war. Taking the initiative to strike? It could potentially bring trouble instead, not to mention Nierlat, no one knew what it would do. Feng Yuan also felt a headache thinking about this, which is why Divine Beasts would not easily approach human decision-makers. If they were too fond of them, no one would know what might happen.

If not for Feng Yuan and the others restraining themselves, Nierlat’s actions would have already sparked a war among Divine Beasts. Even now, the Divine Beasts behind Great Xia were still constantly quarreling with those of Nierlat. Although in terms of quantity and strength, the Divine Beasts behind Great Xia did not have an upper hand over those of the smaller countries like Nierlat, one should not forget about Feng Yuan’s presence.

Agunas and Veronia’s stance is easy to guess, and while Lorraine Tower and Gitalien may not intervene directly, seeing them dispatch Clock Town, they would understand that once something happens, Lorraine Tower would definitely not stand idly by.

That was also the reason why these Divine Beasts were quarreling incessantly - both sides believed they had the advantage. They just needed to find a way to get rid of Feng Yuan, as the Divine Beasts of Great Xia alone wouldn’t be able to handle them. Correspondingly, they knew that with Feng Yuan there, they held the upper hand in power. freёnovelkiss.com

Moreover, Great Xia was currently summoning back its powerhouses. As time went on, the likelihood of victory for Great Xia was increasing.

"Speaking of which, I was planning to travel to other regions before school starts. You might need to be more careful during that period."

Remembering something, Feng Yuan said to Shen Weiguo, believing that his itinerary was definitely not a secret. If those people wanted to, they could surely find out where he was. Once he left the Divine Land Region, Feng Yuan suspected that Nierlat might take immediate action.

After all, with Feng Yuan and without him, Great Xia’s strength was a completely different concept.

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, Shen Weiguo was a bit surprised and hesitated for a moment before nodding,

"I will tell them to stay alert and be prepared. Don’t worry about us - those who are willing to stay at the border are not afraid of sacrifice. Even if they really resort to those extremely vile weapons, we have the confidence to strike back at them."

He didn’t say anything about asking Feng Yuan to stay. He was keenly aware that this kind of carefree travel opportunity didn’t come by often. Feng Yuan did not owe anything to Great Xia, and they had no right to ask Feng Yuan to sacrifice anything for Great Xia’s sake.
