Chapter 3054 A Grade 6 Creator!
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Behind Honor Absent Mall on Ninth Street in Diverse City, in an ancient residence on the south side of Ancient Bells Garden, over 200 people sat in a meeting hall.
For an aristocratic family in a super large city like Diverse City, having only 200 people in a meeting hall was considered a small number.
The leader was an old man with white hair and a beard. One of his eyes was extremely cloudy, with a scar running across half of his face. This blind eye gave him a somewhat ferocious appearance. However, to the other members of the Dragon Plum Family, this one-eyed old man was the kindest elder.
“Su Li, where are you meeting Master Sun? When you do, I’ll accompany you to welcome him. We must not let Master Sun feel neglected. Remember to prepare a few bottles of Cherry Plum Wine. When Master Sun Yin visited us before, he praised the Cherry Plum Wine more than once!”
Su Li quickly responded to her grandfather’s words, “Grandfather, I’ll bring a few core members of the family to receive him myself. There’s no need for you to go personally. I’ve already prepared two jars of Cherry Plum Wine. I’ll bring them to meet Master Sun.”
Su Li had not met Sun Yin in Diverse City; she met him while training elsewhere and invited him to develop his skills in Diverse City.
When Sun Yin arrived, Su Li invited him to stay with her family for a few days.
Su Li intended to invite Sun Yin to be a guest of the Dragon Plum Family. However, after learning that Sun Yin valued his freedom and could not stay with them, she refrained from making the request.
At that time, her grandfather had advocated keeping Sun Yin in the family, but he was somewhat of a snob. The Dragon Plum Family was trying to align itself with the Warm Water Palace and was closely connected to a pinnacle Grade 4 Creator.
For some reason, this pinnacle Grade 4 Creator had a conflict with Sun Yin. Consequently, her grandfather decided not to rope Sun Yin in and even kept a deliberate distance from him. This left Su Li feeling very helpless.
When Sun Yin left, her grandfather was unwilling to use a few jars of Sun Yin’s favorite Cherry Plum Wine to send him off. It had not been easy for her to obtain a few jars to avoid ruining Sun Yin’s mood.
Now that her grandfather had changed his mind, she felt a little vexed.
The current Dragon Plum Family was no longer as powerful as before.
During the period when the Dragon Plum Family had successfully become acquainted with the Warm Water Palace, they had been completely glorious.
Unfortunately, during Traveling Dragon Palace’s hundred years of rapid development, Warm Water Palace offended Traveling Dragon Palace and was wiped out.
Although the Dragon Plum Family had successfully gotten rid of their relationship with Warm Water Palace and was not destroyed because of this, the Dragon Plum Family had still been severely affected.
If the Dragon Plum Family wanted to rise, they would most likely not have another chance.
This was because too many factions in Diverse City wanted to curry favor with Traveling Dragon Palace. These factions were suppressing the Dragon Plum Family not because they had a grudge against the Dragon Plum Family, but because they wanted to use this opportunity to gain Traveling Dragon Palace’s favor.
Traveling Dragon Palace had been using this method to get rid of dissidents all these years, tacitly allowing this to happen.
Su Li knew very well why her grandfather was doing this. Now that the Dragon Plum Family no longer had a Grade 4 Creator, they urgently needed a Grade 4 Creator to support them.
However, Sun Yin’s motive for coming to Diverse City this time was most likely to revisit his old place or to settle some matters.
Given Sun Yin’s yearning for freedom, it was impossible for him to stay in Diverse City forever. Her grandfather would most likely be disappointed!
“No, Little Li. I have to go with you! This is the only way to show my respect for Master Sun!”
Everyone present was family. There was no need to say anything insinuating.
Su Zhongshan told Su Li in an extremely serious tone, “Little Li, you’re a smart child. You know very well what I want to say. Give me a definite answer. Do you think it’s possible for Master Sun to stay in the Dragon Plum Family and become a guest elder?”
Su Li looked at the expression on her grandfather’s face and really could not bring herself to say that it was impossible.
“Grandfather, I haven’t seen Master Sun in a long time. I’m not sure if I can invite Master Sun to be the Dragon Plum Family’s guest elder. However, with my understanding of Master Sun, the possibility is not high.
“If Master Sun doesn’t have the intention to become a guest of the Dragon Plum Family, forcefully inviting him will most likely affect our relationship with him. That’s why we have to be careful before making a decision!”
Su Zhongshan knew very well that the Dragon Plum Family had reached the end of its rope. In order to revive the Dragon Plum Family, he was willing to do anything.
Just because the possibility was small did not mean that there was no chance. As long as there was a chance, Su Zhongshan would work hard.
“Little Li, I’m well aware of the situation. When we go to see Master Sun, I won’t invite him directly. In the future, when the time is right, I’ll let you speak with him.”
After finishing his words to Su Li, Su Zhongsan turned to the rest of the family and said in a stern tone, “Master Sun will likely stay at the Dragon Plum Family’s old residence. You all must be respectful when you see Master Sun Yin! If anyone offends him for selfish reasons, I will remove them from the family and they will be condemned as a sinner, forever shamed.”
Sun Yin was unaware that his contacting Su Li to complete Lin Yuan’s mission had made the Dragon Plum Family hold him in such high regard.
To be honest, Sun Yin would never join the Dragon Plum Family.
After becoming a Grade 5 Creator, the Dragon Plum Family meant nothing to Sun Yin.
However, Sun Yin was not willing to help the Dragon Plum Family rise unless they agreed to become his pawns in return.
In a place like the Sky Beyond the Clouds, where the strong preyed on the weak, such opportunities were rare.
If not for his good relationship with Su Li, Sun Yin would not have offered such an opportunity.
Sun Yin looked at the familiar surroundings in Diverse City and stretched.
His mentality on this trip to Diverse City was completely different from before.
Sun Yin visited the famous old shops in Diverse City for a good meal before waiting for Su Li at the agreed location.
In Sun Yin’s experience, Su Li was always punctual. Sun Yin had never liked dealing with people who were not timely.
He did not wait long before he saw Su Li, though she was accompanied by a large group.
Sun Yin looked at Su Li, who spread her hands helplessly, indicating she had no choice but to bring her family.
At this moment, Su Li did not know that Sun Yin had become a Grade 5 Creator. Her attitude towards him remained rather nonchalant.
If not for Lin Yuan’s mission, Sun Yin would have frowned.
He had never liked interacting with unfamiliar people, but to complete Lin Yuan’s mission, he needed to engage with the other members of the Dragon Plum Family, not just Su Li.
Su Li greeted Sun Yin warmly, “Brother Sun, I haven’t seen you in over 100 years. You look even better than before!”
Su Li only intended to greet Sun Yin, but she did not expect him to respond to her words.
“My condition is indeed much better than before. Otherwise, wouldn’t I have become a Grade 5 Creator for nothing?”
Sun Yin’s words stunned Su Li and the members of the Dragon Plum Family standing beside her.
Su Zhongsan’s breathing quickened as he looked at Sun Yin, as if he was looking at hope.
In just a hundred years, Sun Yin had transformed into a Grade 5 Creator. Sun Yin’s talent was simply too astonishing!
It was impossible for Sun Yin to lie about such things. In the Sky Beyond the Clouds, no Creator dared to lie about their Creator grade. Once a Creator lied about their grade, their reputation would be ruined.
“Brother… Brother Sun, have you really become a Grade 5 Creator?” Realizing she was doubting Sun Yin, Su Li hurriedly changed her words. “Brother Sun, I mean to say that you’ve finally fulfilled your dream. Congratulations!”
At this point, Su Li couldn’t help but think of the current situation of the Dragon Plum Family. She looked a little sad.
Sun Yin did not put on the airs of a Grade 5 Creator in front of his old friend. Instead, he reached out and patted Su Li’s shoulder.
“Didn’t you say that you brought me Cherry Plum Wine? I miss the Dragon Plum Family’s Cherry Plum Wine so much! The last time I left, I drank two jars and still couldn’t drink to my heart’s content! The Cherry Plum Wine you brought this time should be enough for me to drink, right?”
Before Su Li could speak, her grandfather spoke up loudly, “Master Sun, no, Lord Sun, it is the Dragon Plum Family’s honor that you enjoy our Cherry Plum Wine. Naturally, you can drink as much as you want! If you don’t mind, why don’t you come to the Dragon Plum Family for a drink? We’ve brewed a lot of plum wine over the past thousand years. If you like it, you can drink it freely!”
If Su Li treated Sun Yin as a friend or elder brother, then Su Zhongsan’s attitude towards Sun Yin could only be described as bootlicking.
However, the other members of the Dragon Plum Family were not dissatisfied with Su Zhongsan’s attitude. They were, in fact, very enthusiastic.
There were very few Grade 5 Creators in Diverse City. In Diverse City, Grade 5 Creators were equivalent to the ceiling! In the entire Sky Beyond the Clouds, as long as a Grade 6 Creator did not appear, a Grade 5 Creator could be considered a supreme person. Even a faction like the Traveling Dragon Palace had to be respectful to Grade 5 Creators.
A Grade 5 Creator was the wealth of the entire Sky Beyond the Clouds. As long as the Dragon Plum Family could secure a Grade 4 Creator, they would not fall and would be able to maintain their current glory.
If they could establish a relationship with a Grade 5 Creator, the Dragon Plum Family would be qualified to become a true upper-class faction in Diverse City!
However, at this moment, Su Zhongsan was somewhat afraid of Sun Yin.
Su Zhongsan dared to invite a Grade 4 Creator to the Dragon Plum Family but he did not dare to invite a Grade 5 Creator. A Grade 5 Creator was too noble.
Sun Yin laughed out loud.
“Since the Dragon Plum Family is so enthusiastic, I won’t stand on ceremony. I’ll visit them later! But before that, I want Su Li to accompany me around Diverse City. I haven’t been here for hundreds of years and am no longer familiar with the city. I came this time intending to buy some resources. With Su Li’s help, I should quickly get reacquainted with Diverse City.”
After saying this, Sun Yin ignored the reactions of the other members of the Dragon Plum Family and pulled Su Li away.
Su Zhongsan was all smiles, surprised by the relationship between Sun Yin and Su Li. He had thought they were merely acquaintances but now realized they were very good friends.
If he wanted the Dragon Plum Family to connect with a Grade 5 Creator like Sun Yin, he needed to act quickly and strategically.
As Sun Yin and Su Li explored Diverse City, he asked her about the city’s developments over the past hundred years.
Su Li was always candid. Keeping her grandfather’s intentions in mind, she said directly to Sun Yin, “Brother Sun, my grandfather wants you to become a sponsor of the Dragon Plum Family. I know you dislike being constrained. If their future invitations bother you, I’ll explain to them now! I don’t want this to affect our relationship. I’ve never been highly valued in the family. If you hadn’t contacted me this time, I wouldn’t even have been qualified to attend a family meeting.”
Su Li spoke openly, not out of naivety, but because she was extremely smart.
Whether her family could align with Sun Yin was uncertain, but she knew she could. As a direct descendant who wasn’t valued, she didn’t need to sacrifice her future for the family. If she succeeded with Sun Yin, it would benefit the family.
As long as she didn’t betray the Dragon Plum Family, their interests would be aligned.
Sun Yin pondered Su Li’s words before replying, “Su Li, I can’t become a guest of the Dragon Plum Family because I’ve already joined a faction.”
Su Li had anticipated Sun Yin’s rejection and guessed his reasons. However, she never imagined that someone like Sun Yin, who cherished his freedom, would join a faction and accept its restrictions. This was unlike the Sun Yin she knew.
Before Su Li could express her surprise, Sun Yin continued, “The faction I joined has a Grade 6 Creator. Su Li, I’m sure you understand the significance of this faction.”
