Super Gene Ⅱ: Evolution

Wan Xinlong had been waiting outside the gate for more than two hours, and finally, it was his turn to be summoned.

Despite being the current Family Head of the Interstellar Wan Family, he felt almost abjectly low in a place like Diman Star.

Payback always came around; Yue E, the former commander of Hanji Star and recently transferred to Diman Star, had finally called him in.

"Lord Yue E," Wan Xinlong greeted as he approached Yue E, who was sitting behind a desk.

"Wan Xinlong, what brought you all the way to Diman Star to see me?" Yue E was puzzled. Wan Xinlong was no longer his subordinate, and it puzzled him why Wan Xinlong would go through so much effort, even finding specific connections, to come to Diman Star to meet him.

"Lord Yue E, the current commander on Hanji Star harbors great hostility toward me and my family. He targets us in every way and has pushed us to the brink of survival. Please, for old times' sake, show us a way to survive." As he spoke, Wan Xinlong presented a small box in front of Yue E.

Yue E casually opened the box, looked at its contents, and a smile appeared on his face: "The current commander on Hanji Star is Fu Lin, right?"

"Yes, Lord," Wan Xinlong replied, slightly relieved seeing Yue E's mood lighten.

"Fu Lin has no personal vendetta against your family nor is he an extreme racist. It's not that he has issues with your family, but rather it's probably due to that prior incident. You did not handle it well, and Fu Lin, fearing the consequences from Princess Catherine, naturally wouldn't show favor to your family." Yue E was fully aware of the details of this issue, as it was tied to his ascent from deputy commander on Hanji Star to his continuous rise in rank.

If not for that incident, he would have remained just the deputy commander on Hanji Star and never would have been transferred to Diman Star.

"Lord, as you know, that person now holds a significant status. Our Wan Family wishes to serve Princess Catherine diligently, but..." Wan Xinlong said with a bitter face.

Yue E nodded, "It's truly not your fault. Now that person holds a special identity, and even if you wanted to take action against him, there wouldn't be any opportunity. He's now thriving in the Celestial Race, and I hear he has become a Pet Official of the Celestial Emperor. Being of the same Human Race, how come after so many years you have shown no progress?"

Wan Xinlong felt bitter inside. How was he supposed to know that Lin Shen would rise so quickly to the position of a Pet Official of the Great Cosmic Clans' Celestial Emperor, in such a short time in the cosmos? Had he foreseen this day, he would never have let the Wan Family commit those acts against the Lin Siblings.

Now, not only had he failed to gain favor with Princess Catherine, but he also had to constantly worry about Lin Shen's revenge.

Fortunately, the Diman Tribe and the Celestial Race were sworn enemies, making it not so easy for the Celestial Race to reach into Diman territory; otherwise, the Wan Family would be living in constant fear.

"Lord, our Wan Family has always been loyally devoted..." What else could Wan Xinlong say, but to pitifully express his loyalty.

Yue E waved his hand to stop him: "Enough, don't talk about that. After all, your family has mishandled things. If you want Fu Lin to let you off, you should show some initiative so that the higher-ups can see your determination and capability."

"Please enlighten me, Lord," Wan Xinlong said eagerly, sensing that Yue E must have some idea since he spoke in such a manner.

"As of now, that person is representing the Celestial Race, serving as an envoy on Diman Star," Yue E said.

"What! He is on Diman Star?" Wan Xinlong's expression slightly changed.

Lin Shen had audaciously come to Diman Star. If his reach could truly extend to Diman Star in the future, then the Wan Family would be in danger.

"You need not worry. His presence on Diman Star is because he represents the Celestial Race; otherwise, even if he were given ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare come here," Yue E paused, then continued, "You also know the grudges between his family and Princess Catherine, but under the current circumstances where he represents the Celestial Race, it's probably inconvenient for Princess Catherine to do anything. However, you are different; you are human, his kin. Your personal grievances have nothing to do with outsiders."

"Lord, you're not asking me to kill Lin Shen, are you? That would be absolutely unacceptable. He currently represents the Celestial Race. If I were to kill him, how could the Celestial Race possibly let me go?" Wan Xinlong immediately knelt in front of Yue E. This responsibility was too great for him to bear, bringing potential disaster to his clan.

"What's the rush? Who said I told you to kill him?" Yue E paused before speaking again, "With the little strength your Wan Family has, even if you wanted to kill him, you wouldn't be eligible. He is currently the leader of the Celestial Race's envoy team, staying at our clan's dedicated Wan Clan Grand Hotel for hosting great clans, and you don't even qualify to enter the Wan Clan Grand Hotel. Moreover, as the leader of the envoy team surrounded by master bodyguards, there definitely are Immortal Level protectors with him. How could you be qualified to kill him?"

Though belittled by Yue E's remarks, Wan Xinlong breathed a sigh of relief that he wasn't being asked to kill Lin Shen.

"Then Lord, what do you mean?" Wan Xinlong asked cautiously.

"There will be a banquet tomorrow that many distinguished youths and maidens of various clans will attend. The main discussion will be about the potential and future scenarios of various clans. I can help you get an invitation to that banquet," Yue E said.

"What does this have to do with Lin Shen?" Wan Xinlong was still somewhat confused. Discover exclusive content at My Virtual Library Empire

"The banquet is hosted by Long Yue, a person you should have heard of," Yue E said.

"I have heard. It seems she came from a minor clan but became an Immortal in less than twenty years..." Wan Xinlong remarked.

Yue E smirked, "Long Yue did start from a minor clan, but she didn't grow up there. Her foster mother is the renowned Snow Clan Holy Mother. Otherwise, no matter how talented she is, she wouldn't have become Immortal so quickly without resources."

After a pause, Yue E continued, "Nevertheless, Long Yue hasn't joined the Snow Clan, traveling among the Great Cosmic Clans, often organizing some innovative dialectic meetings. Because of her extremely high talents, strong abilities, and unmatched beauty, she is highly sought after by the distinguished youths of various clans and even by influential figures. If it weren't for the support of the Snow Clan Holy Mother, she might have become an object of play for others by now. Long Yue's dialectic meetings usually welcome members from minor clans. Since you and Lin Shen are both from the Human Race, you should attend the dialectic meeting."

"My knowledge and experiences, how can they compare with those of the heirs from great clans? Even if I want to win some favor for Princess Catherine, it's beyond my ability," Wan Xinlong said.

"Who said you need to win any favor for Princess Catherine?" Yue E scoffed coldly. "You are a human, unrelated to Princess Catherine. Tomorrow's dialectic meeting reviews the inherent potential of various clans. You can only represent the Human Race."

"Lord's intention?" Wan Xinlong felt something was not quite right.

"Your only task is to demonstrate one thing, that the Human Race is a clan with little potential, ideally both incapable and shameless, causing the Human Race to lose face in front of Long Yue and many distinguished youths. Thus, as a fellow Human Race member, Lin Shen will naturally also lose face…" Yue E spoke slowly, "Princess Catherine will also attend the banquet. If you could make her smile, then the future of the Wan Family will be secured."

Wan Xinlong stared blankly at Yue E, his expression fluctuating wildly. He desperately wanted to slap Yue E's face for such a contemptible idea, yet Wan Xinlong remained standing there, doing nothing, as he had to consider the future of the Wan Family.
