Chapter 1263: Long Lamplight and An He

After the call rang for a moment, Gu Lang picked up and said, “Hey, Ze. You said in your last call that you’re going to lock yourself away to train. Are you out already?”

Zong Ze looked shocked when he heard Gu Lang’s voice. It was not the words that Gu Lang said that surprised Zong Ze but the heavy weariness of Gu Lang’s voice.

Moreover, there seemed to be another person talking next to Gu Lang. But the person’s voice had been too soft for Zong Ze to make out what was said.

Before Zong Ze could reply, Gu Lang seemed to pull his phone away and snap at someone. “I’m on the phone. We’ll talk once I’m done!”

The voice silenced itself.

Gu Lang smiled apologetically and said, “Ze, I came to Cold Frost City for some business. I thought that a Class 5 marsh dimensional rift had opened in Cold Frost City, so I came to catch a few Black Marsh Fly Dragonflies. But not only did I come up empty, but I even bumped into An He.”

Zong Ze frowned.

He was calling Gu Lang to discuss the ownership of shares. As such, he had put the call on speaker, so Lin Yuan could hear Gu Lang as well.

Lin Yuan had never met An He, but he was not unfamiliar with the name.

Among the 13 members of royalty in the Radiance Federation, one managed an association that encompassed all of the lifestyle-class spirit qi professionals besides the Creation Master Association.

…

This member of royalty was Long Lamplight.

1

Long Lamplight was the most low-profile of all the 13 members of royalty. However, he could not remain completely under the radar because his first disciple was the third Radiance Envoy.

Although Long Lamplight’s first disciple did not have Creation Master talent, he was an extremely talented healing-type spirit qi professional.

An He was Long Lamplight’s youngest disciple. He had powerful healing-type spirit qi professional talent, just like his senior.

An He had also obtained an Order of Radiant Light, which gave him the right to participate in the Radiance Envoy selection two years later.

Although Lin Yuan and An He had never crossed paths, he knew Gu Lang’s temperament well.

Gu Lang was very mild-mannered and would not speak sternly unless he was on his last nerve.

Hence, there had to be a serious wedge between Gu Lang and An He.

“Lang, did you fight with An He again?”

Gu Lang replied vexedly, “We didn’t start fighting, but this meeting caused me to be unable to explore the Class 5 marsh dimensional rift freely. His men stole the sacred source lifeform. Luckily, I managed to obtain three portions of high-grade marsh soil. Otherwise, I would have made this trip for nothing.”

Zong Ze clenched his fist tightly.

Apparently, An He was not on his list of favorite people either.

Gu Lang changed the topic and said, “Ze, what’s up? If you want to vent your battle urge by fighting with me, I won’t be able to make it. I’ll need at least 10 days to reach the Royal Capital.”

Gu Lang was one year older than Zong Ze.

When Zong Ze was young, he was closed off and did not like speaking to others. But after that incident, he started speaking even less.

Hence, it was usually Gu Lang who sought out Zong Ze.

If Zong Ze took the initiative to seek out Gu Lang, nine times out of ten, it would be to ask Gu Lang to fight.

Zong Ze’s expression softened, and he said, “Lang, Ah Yuan has a way to cure my bad luck completely. I won’t ask you to fight me to suppress my battle urges anymore.”

A smile broke out on Gu Lang’s weary face.

When Gu Lang found out that the Moon Empress’ medicine could cure Wang Fuxiang’s curse, he immediately thought of Zong Ze, who was also afflicted by bad luck.

Since the medicine could remove Wang Fuxiang’s bad luck, it would definitely be able to remove Zong Ze’s bad luck as well.

Gu Lang had wanted to mention this to the Bamboo Monarch more than once, but he had not been able to bring himself to raise the topic.

After all, Wang Fuxiang’s bad luck had not been completely removed yet. It would be offensive for him to ask for the medicine.

Now that Gu Lang knew that Lin Yuan could cure Zong Ze’s bad luck, he was over the moon for Zong Ze.

As the disciple of a member of royalty, Gu Lang had been bootlicked by other factions and received special treatment ever since he was young.

It was difficult for him to make friends in such an environment.

The only friend he had made in his childhood was Zong Ze.

During the gathering, Lin Yuan had given the Golden Thearch Bamboo shoot to Gu Lang without any conditions attached, thereby opening up Gu Lang’s future as a Creation Master.

Now that Lin Yuan was going to save Zong Ze, Gu Lang was even more grateful to Lin Yuan than before.

When he heard Zong Ze address Lin Yuan as ‘Ah Yuan’, Gu Lang knew that Zong Ze now regarded Lin Yuan as a brother as well.

Just as Gu Lang was about to express his joy, Zong Ze said, “Lang, I’m at Ah Yuan’s place, and this entire call has been on speaker. I called you to discuss the ownership of shares of our faction.”

Gu Lang assumed that Zong Ze wanted to give part of his shares to Lin Yuan.

He thought about the help that Lin Yuan had given him and said, “Why don’t we each give up 25% of our shares and give them to Ah Yuan?”

Lin Yuan looked exasperated again.

Did all the disciples of bigshots like to give away shares?

Before Zong Ze could respond to Gu Lang, Lin Yuan hurriedly cut in and said, “Big Brother Gu, why do the both of you want to give me shares? Big Brother Zong called to talk about a collaboration. From what you said just now, you seem to be in need of the Black Marsh Fly Dragonflies from the marsh world. I can get a few for you.”

The Black Marsh Fly Dragonfly was a rare marsh dimensional lifeform. It was similar to the Marsh Ground Sphagna in that it could not even defeat a Normal Hundred Questions Beast when it was young.

However, its slow start also meant that it had unimaginable peak potential.

Given enough resources, it would be able to defeat its natural enemy during its adolescence.

The Black Marsh Fly Dragonfly evolved its grade much easier than other dimensional lifeforms.
