2140 Virgo Liu Jie!
In order to instill confidence in Jin Qianxun, Sky City had not hidden the fact that Sky City was the one that had helped the Yi family take over the Divine Wood Federation’s imperial court and enabled Yi Huailong to become its ruler.

Given that Jin Qianxun was one of the main members of the Jin family, which was one of the top-secret aristocratic families in the Great Lush Federation, it was to be expected that he knew of the Yi family’s position in the Divine Wood Federation.

Yet, Lin Yuan managed to raise such an insignificant family like the Yi family to the top of the food chain and enabled Yi Huailong to become a king.

This meant that Lin Yuan could definitely do the same for the Jin family.

Although Jin Qianxun did not participate in the mess, he still did all he could to stabilize the core of the Jin family.

!!
After Lin Yuan learned of all that Jin Qianxun did in the past few days, he came to a decision.

Jin Qianxun was able to guard but was not enterprising. He was wary and very conscious of his duty.

A person like Jin Qianxun was not very suited to be the ruler of a federation.

However, a person like this was just right for Lin Yuan.

He did not need Jin Qianxun to be overly courageous and noble. All he needed to do was manage the Great Lush Federation in the same way that Yi Huailong did for the Divine Wood Federation.

Lin Yuan intended to control the trading system in the Startling Lines Continent himself.

Listen was going to oversee all the chambers of commerce.

This would ensure that the supply of resources flowed smoothly.

When the three federations were no longer fighting amongst each other, the number of bandit groups would decrease by at least half. If any more cropped up, they could be easily dealt with.

When Lin Yuan did not say anything after flipping through the documents, Su Yiren quipped, “Jin Qianxun isn’t a talent by any means, but he is very obedient. He knew to protect the Jin family’s direct descendants in such circumstances and also protected the collateral members rather well as well. This means that he is the type to value relationships. I think that after you help him to assume the throne of the Great Lush Federation, he’ll be easier to control than Yi Huailong.”

Su Yiren did not know that Yi Huailong had sworn his loyalty to Lin Yuan.

When Yi Huailong used the Ethereal Jellyfish’s tentacles to travel to the underground palace for shelter, Su Yiren gained a certain level of understanding of him.

It could be said that she was not fond of him at all.

This was because she could see his ambition.

Although he was useful as Lin Yuan’s main medium of controlling the Divine Wood Federation, ambition was the last quality that a tool needed to have.

Lin Yuan nodded.

“Yiren, come with me to the Great Lush Federation. The construction of the harbor will take precedence after we take control of the Great Lush Federation. If the construction isn’t done well, not only will Wo Lun’s fleet be unable to enter, but we will have no way of sending massive troops to the Dark Continent either. I’m sure that you’ll be able to carry out this task with flying colors.”

Tears welled up in Su Yiren’s eyes.

Lin Yuan had made her the promise but had not mentioned it since then.

“Young Master, don’t worry. Leave the construction of the harbor to me. I definitely won’t allow any slip-ups to take place!”

After Su Yiren left, Lin Yuan went to find Liu Jie.

The Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting was held again yesterday.
Wen Yu, who was the owner of the Astronomical Parliament, had pulled Liu Jie into the parliamentary meeting.

Liu Jie occupied the Virgo throne

Wen Yu was the only one who could direct people to thrones, but the final decision of which throne was picked was left up to the constellations.

Wen Yu and Lin Yuan were both surprised that the Virgo throne had claimed Liu Jie. But it did not take long for them to see the reason behind the decision.

Liu Jie was principled and organized in everything that he did.

When he was cooking, he would ensure that every utensil was washed before he used the next one.

He was also slightly germaphobic.

These were similar traits of a Virgo.

Liu Jie had always been curious about the Astronomical Parliament that Lin Yuan and Wen Yu sometimes mentioned. He had never entered it before and could not understand its magical aspects.

It was only after he entered the Astronomical Parliament and took a seat on the Virgo throne that he understood just how special the Astronomical Parliament was.

He also realized how Lin Yuan had come to know people like Ta Lei, Su Yiren, and Yin Lin.

When the Azure Federation envoy team came to spectate the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, Liu Jie had been confused about Yin Lin’s clear siding with Lin Yuan.

But now he knew that the members of the Astronomical Parliament had all been saved by Lin Yuan at their darkest moments, just like he had done for Liu Jie.

However, he was much luckier than the members of the Astronomical Parliament because he got to know Lin Yuan sooner.

Although he was Lin Yuan’s retainer knight and carried out that duty, he actually owed Lin Yuan far more than what he could repay by just providing Lin Yuan with his protection.

Liu Jie had interacted a fair amount with Su Yiren and Luo Lan recently. As such, he was familiar with them.

He had also met Ta Lei a few times.

Ta Lei was very respectful of Liu Jie because he knew that Liu Jie was Lin Yuan’s retainer knight and friend. He addressed Liu Jie as ‘uncle’.

Liu Jie had also met with Yin Lin.

The only members of the Astronomical Parliament who were foreign to Liu Jie were Bei Xu, Bu Po, and Wo Lun.

The members of the Astronomical Parliament usually communicated through the Thoughts Letter Paper. Any issues that they had could be solved by contacting each other.

Not much happened during the parliamentary meeting.

The main purpose of the meeting was for the members who were unfamiliar with Liu Jie to get to know him.

Yin Lin, Su Yiren, and Bu Po’s identities were now very different from when they first joined the Astronomical Parliament.

Bei Xu, Wo Lun, and Ta Lei were still working hard to improve themselves.

In truth, all of them had wondered if they would one day be able to take up one of the 12 golden thrones after they made significant contributions to the Astronomical Parliament.

Although Lin Yuan had never mentioned it, the members all thought that the thrones would be filled by those among them.

Yet, this did not turn out to be the case, and Liu Jie ended up taking one of the 12 thrones.

This caused many of the members to feel slightly discouraged.

By occupying the golden thrones, Liu Jie, Lin Yuan, and Wen Yu were able to sense the changes in emotions of the members who sat on the north-south constellation seats.

Before the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meeting came to an end, Lin Yuan said, “From now on, there will be no abrupt occupations of the 12 golden thrones. There will also be more participants in the Astronomical Parliament parliamentary meetings besides the nine of us. More people will be taking up the seats around you. The people who will eventually occupy the remaining nine golden thrones will be picked from among you. Let’s all work hard together!”
