Hu! After Zhu Yan returned to his residence, a fireball exploded in front of him. This was the message sent by the voice transmission talisman of the Tenth Prince, Yang Zhen. The Tenth Prince wanted him to come see him tonight at his palace.
Zhu Yan could hear his basic tone. The Ten Princes did not sound happy!
Zhu Yan knew for sure that if the Tenth Prince wanted to meet him, it was because that was when Lin Ming openly challenged him. The scouts he had sent to observe the situation must have reported back to the Tenth Prince.
Win over Lin Ming? Stop dreaming!
Zhu Yan reached out a hand and smashed the burning ash in front of him. The Tenth Prince's voice came to a halt.
Zhu Yan slowly got up and poured himself a glass of wine. He lifted the glass and finished it all. Slowly, his eyes turned cold, like a calm lake.
“There is still one month. Do you think that Lin Ming has won?
…
As Lin Ming returned to his residence, he also received sound-emitting talismans simultaneously from the Tenth Prince and the Crown Prince.
The Crown Prince's message came from Muyi.
From the sound transmission talisman, Muyi sent a congratulatory greeting and invited Lin Ming to the Crown Prince's palace to visit and drink.
As for the Tenth Prince, he also invited Lin Ming, and also asked if Lin Ming could see the rare human step manual he had.
These two voice transmission talismans, in fact, had broken the rules of the Seven Profound Martial House. The Martial House had determined that any and all outside influences could not interfere with the pupils in the middle of the school period, even if it was a sound transmission talisman sent from outside. However, the current events were an important matter with the princes competing for the throne, so naturally the Martial House could bend the rules slightly to accommodate them.
“It looks like both sides want to win me over. I have antagonized too many people and made too many enemies. My own strength is weak.I may be safe in the Seven Profound Martial House, but if I come out, I might be killed! Although I made up stories that I had some formidable masters behind me, this kind of fake might not necessarily deter others. If I take sides for now, then they can also protect me. Muyi has been friendly and generous towards me and we are friends, and the Crown Prince helped me once, so I owe him a favor. If I join them, it would be a good choice. As for the Tenth Prince, he was the son of the consort consort of the Zhu Family ... "Lin Ming did not care much about politics, but he knew about the situation of the Zhu Family, and that the Tenth Prince was Zhu Yan's cousin. The Zhu family had used this relationship to climb the ladder; their influence grew by the day and rose through the ranks.
It was impossible for Lin Ming to side with the Tenth Prince. He immediately rejected it!
As for giving face to Muyi, it was something he really had to do, but now was not the time…
“I thank Your Highness the Crown Prince for your great and kind invitation, but I already have the promised date in a month and have to make the most of every second and minute, so that I can't keep my promise with you. One month later, I will come to visit and thank you for your hospitality at that time.
In the Eastern Palace of the Crown Prince, Muyi received Lin Ming's voice transmission talisman. He traced his beard and said with a smile, "Lin Ming said that he will come to visit in a month."
"Oh? This Lin Ming was really so diligent that he did not have a free night?”
“So it's like that. No wonder this cultivation of Lin Ming was developing so quickly. The heart of his martial arts must have been most of the reason? ”
"Yes. Usually if one's heart of martial arts was weak, when they only had a few achievements, they had great strength from far and wide trying to win them over. They are very easily tempted by things like wealth and beauty. This kind of person would always lack great talent, and could only become a follower! However, Lin Ming's strength increased so quickly not only because of his pure heart of martial arts, but also because he had a formidable master behind him.
Originally, Lin Ming had asked Muyi to keep his secret as an inscription master, but he did not say anything to Muyi about keeping this formidable shadow master a secret.
In fact, with Lin Ming's current reputation, even if he were to publicize his status as an inscription master, it wouldn't be dangerous. It would even add chips in his hands! Not to mention that he had the Crown Prince and Muyi's protection now, his status as a talented disciple of the Seven Profound Marriage House was already an enormous barrier.
"Of course ...what kind of master is this behind Lin Ming? The Crown Prince asked as his eyes twinkled.
Muyi looked at this look of the Crown Prince and clearly knew what he was thinking. He smiled and said, “Your Majesty should not expect to rely on this person. I guess this senior is at least at the Xiantian Great Success Stage. He might even have already surpassed the Xiantian stage; the height of nature he had reached was already beyond our comprehension. He will not interfere in worldly affairs.”
“Beyond Xiantian!” Yang Lin's heart trembled upon hearing this. "What kind of realm is above a Xiantian master?"
Muyi forced a wry smile. He said, “I don't know the path of martial arts beyond that. For those who did not come from ancient clans or sects, self-taught martial artists were like living in a thick fog, they did not know where or what to explore. After the Xiantian stage, I am not clear what kind of realm it is.”.
Yang Lin sighed lightly and said, "Teacher, please don't underestimate yourself. You already have such a feat even though you are not from a sect or clan; you are already a rare talent. I only have one vague point; if this Lin Ming has a formidable master behind him, why would he go to the Seven Profound Martial House?”
Muyi said, “Alright about this I also doubt. To the path of martial arts outside the Xiantian stage, I do not fully understand. Perhaps if one wanted to reach a higher boundary in martial arts, they needed to experience the world on their own and gather life experiences, and that was why Lin Ming then came to Sky Fortune City.
“Mmm. Whether I can win or not over Lin Ming, I should at least befriend him. Next month when Lin Ming comes, I will personally welcome him and give him a proper banquet!
…
"This Lin Ming, he completely rejected me!"
In the Cloud Prince's palace, the Tenth Prince Yang Zhen received the voice-emitting talisman that Lin Ming replied to, and his face instantly sunk. “Zhu Yan, you really did a good deed. To an ordinary woman, you have offended such a powerful enemy, you have truly disappointed me! ”
Zhu stood in front, silent and wordless. Originally when he had managed to snatch and obtain Lan Yunyue, Lin Ming was just an insignificant little fellow, nothing more than an insect under his heels. No matter what happened, he could easily deal with it. To take a woman from a useless person, what could go wrong? Who could have expected that Lin Ming would grow so quickly into such a powerful enemy?
Of course, he did not explain this matter nor was it necessary. Yang Zhen had asked him here today to let go of his volatile emotions. Zhu Yan was very clear; his current status and the status of his Zhu Family were due to the Tenth Prince. The Tenth Prince was his master, and in front of him, he could not rebel.
“I borrowed the power of your Zhu Family because I thought you could help me overcome my obstacles, but now you are just adding to the chaos! I have absolute confidence to win over Lin Ming, but now!
“Zhu Yan, you followed me because you want to do great things and have great achievements! Only the most stupid, the most stupid person would kill the world just for a woman! That Lan Yunyue, you will divorce her!”
As the Tenth Prince said this, Zhu Yan's brows furrowed slightly. He said, "Your Majesty, even if I divorce Lan Yunyue, it is impossible for me to ease my relationship with Lin Ming. Do you believe that Lin Ming will forgive this betrayal and join Lan Yunyue again? This battle of mine and Lin Ming is because of Lan Yunyue, but now, it already has nothing to do with Lan Yunyue anymore.”
“I don't need you to preach to me! I already knew that Lin Ming would not want Lan Yunyue anymore. But, if you divorce her, it will be a sign of showing weakness and humbling yourself before Lin Ming. After that you can apologize. Only like this can we sit down and discuss the future together. Just like this I will have the possibility to offer generous conditions and bring it to my side! No longer an eternal enemy, only an eternal benefit. I will choose for her a beauty that far surpasses Lan Yunyue, an obedient heavenly beauty like a cat. I will give him great wealth and the best cultivation method. How could he not be on my side? What the Crown Prince can give her is nothing compared to what I can!”
"You want me to show weakness and humble myself before Lin Ming ...?" Zhu Yan's mouth twitched and his fist clenched until it turned white. For someone like him who had an arrogant personality, showed weakness and humbled himself, it was worse than killing him!
