“What, you are not willing? A real man is tough and can adapt to situations. Does this show a bit of weakness? Could it be that you want to make trouble for me, just because you and Lin Ming are total enemies?”
Zhu Yan took a few deep breaths and then slowly loosened his clenched fist. His eyes were cold as he slowly said, “Your Majesty. A dead genius is no longer a genius.”
“Huh! You want me to kill Lin Ming? Zhu Yan, do you not know what kind of peerless existence the Seven Profound Martial House is in the Sky Fortune Kingdom? Lin Ming was a rare talent that had never been seen in a hundred years of the Seven Profound Martial Houses! I can't believe that you want me to kill him. Even if he leaves the Martial House, even if he hasn't grown yet, don't forget my elder brother, Yang Lin's Crown Price! Although Yang Lin was stupid, he was not stupid to the point of being retarded! How could he not send protection to Lin Ming? His side also had masters, he even had Muyi! After I made a small miscalculation, once only a few of my plans exposed Yang Lin that I had killed Lin Ming, then I had lost! Especially when the time comes to take the throne, I won't even be able to sustain my life! The authority of the Seven Profound Martial House was inviolable. Even if it was my father the emperor, he would also be useless to do anything! ”
“Only one Muyi is enough to give me a headache!! I have spent a lot of resources to raise 18 people to a court willing to die, and this is just to deal with Muyi. If this Lin Ming grows and is added to this already complicated situation, then my chances will be significantly reduced!
Zhu Yan's mouth twitched and both of his fists felt heavy. He spoke slowly and clearly, “Your Majesty, please give me some time. I'll give you an adequate response! ”
"good. I'll trust you this once. But what if you let me down once again?”
Zhu Yan took a deep breath and bit down on the words, "If I am defeated, if Lin Ming can still grow at an extremely evil speed, he said, then I will divorce Lan Yunyue and apologize to Lin Ming!"
“Huh. I hope it won't be too late by then! Resign!
…
In the living room of the Great Clarity Pavilion, the atmosphere was brilliant, and the prepared dishes were delicious, but Zhu Yan had no thoughts of eating the dishes as he thought about it.
Seeing Zhu Yan not eating, Lan Yunyue did not dare to move her chopsticks. He correctly guessed that Zhu Yan's worries today were related to Lin Ming's challenge. He was stuck in the middle, embarrassed, and did not even dare to say a few words.
"Today, the Tenth Prince called me to discuss some matters with me." Zhu Yan slowly said after a long silence.
“Mmm? Discuss... what are you talking about?” Lan Yunyue felt a slight sense of unease. He never knew what Zhu Yan was thinking. He could only feel his dark and horrifying mood, as if there was this gentle turbulent calm, right before he exploded with a sudden and raging rage. His appearance was like an ambushing ferocious beast; at first it seemed calm and serene, but it actually contained endless killing intent.
When he was with Zhu Yan, Lan Yunyue always felt an invisible pressure pressing down on him as if she could not breathe. It was unlike the past; as long as he and Lin Ming were together. When he was with Lin Ming, he could randomly act like a spoiled brat, or randomly lose his temper, but the boy would always smile at him like sunshine and fulfill all his unreasonable requests ...
Unfortunately, those days are long gone and will never return. Lan Yunyue sighed in her heart. He did not dare to show any feelings, as he always felt as if Zhu Yan's eyes were like an eagle that seemed to be able to fully pierce through his deepest feelings.
"He told me to .." said Zhu Yan, and then looked at him with both eyes and slowly continued, "He told me to divorce you ..."
At that moment, Lan Yunyue became unreasonable. It was as if time had slowed down at that moment, and Zhu Yan's face suddenly appeared far away in the distance. All his senses, his hearing, his touch, everything became blurred.
Although she had always kept her body pure, she was already engaged to Zhu Yan. In the Sky Fortune Kingdom, if a girl was divorced after getting engaged, this was a very embarrassing matter, and their marriage would be affected. If Zhu Yan really divorced her, what path would she have left to follow?
He looked at Zhu Yan with a crooked expression and pursed his lips, trying not to cry. However, tears started to flow from his eyes. He knew what the Tenth Prince meant to Zhu Yan and the Zhu Family. His words weighed heavily on Zhu Yan.
"You .. have you agreed?" Lan Yunyue was choked by his words, almost crying.
"Not yet." Zhu Yan answered honestly.
“It.... why?” Lan Yunyue subconsciously held the chopsticks in her hand, but her knuckles turned white.
“Because of Lin Ming. The Tenth Prince wants to win over Lin Ming, but you ... You have become a hindrance for him to win over Lin Ming.
“Ob... hitch..” Lan Yunyue finally couldn't bear the pain, and the tears she held back began to fall like rain. She's just an ordinary girl. How could he one day be involved in the seizure of the throne, and become a hindrance to the prince…
Why is this happening?
Zhu Yan said, “I have a month, maybe two. But I still don't know if, there might be a chance. This issue is not necessarily a previous conclusion. ”
After saying these words, Zhu Yan simply got up, pushed the door and left.
Lan Yunyue was left behind, sitting in her chair. He looked as if his soul had been lost. He knows the situation. Although Zhu Yan said there was a chance, he was not naive enough to believe this. If he had ever been a hindrance in his path, even if it was just a little, he would not have hesitated to get rid of him!
Thinking of this, Lan Yunyue felt a wave of inexplicable sadness.
He subconsciously got up, opened the door and left.
The main hall of the Great Clarity Pavilion always resounded with noise and boisterous chatter. The crowd of noble sons indulged their desires and had fun, lifting the chalice to drink. The fine bronze glass was covered with its original-like design, as if it was the mouth of a monster that opened its jaws wide to swallow it…
He walked down the stairs and exited the Great Clarity Pavilion.
Autumn night had a breezy coolness, and the blowing wind had a touch of dew; it was grim and sad.
Actually, Zhu Yan was not mistaken ... Lan Yunyue understood the reason she said a few words tonight, and did not feel any resentment towards her.
He had chosen Zhu Yan. He chose him because Zhu Yan brought great wealth, and thus a longer youth.
If one day Zhu Yan lost his status to a woman, then even his wife would probably leave him ...
This truth, how could Zhu Yan not understand?
If one chooses splendor, then they should be able to withstand the bitterness and pain behind that splendor, but.
He suddenly realized how precious the lost things he once had were. He regretted, not because Lin Ming had metamorphosed into a golden scaly dragon, but his regret was not knowing that the happiness he once felt was a true blessing.
…
The results that Lin Ming had made had shocked many; the main force had set a plan into action for Lin Ming. But even though Lin Ming had achieved incredible results, he was not even complacent in the slightest.
He chose a time of one month before challenging Zhu Yan. In fact, he had no absolute guarantee that he would win.
Zhu Yan was the first worthy enemy in Lin Ming's entire life.
Once, Lin Min had set surpassing Zhu Yan as a lifelong goal. But now, in just a short period of 6 months, Lin Ming would face Zhu Yan on the same martial stage.
Lin Ming could feel that Zhu Yan was formidable and extraordinary.
Zhu Yan and Wang Yanfeng were the same. Both of them were proud and had their own willpower. It was just that Zhu Yan was not as harsh as Wang Yanfeng, and was more restrained in the heart. If Wang Yanfeng was a unsheathed treasure sword filled with cold air, then Zhu Yan was a slender sword hidden in its sheath. It was hard to tell when he would leave his scabbard, and that first strike was almost impossible to resist!
Zhu Yan will not be easily destroyed! He was the son of a concubine from the Zhu Family. He relied on his own strength and diligent efforts to crawl up, step by step, to his current position. He even had the possibility of inheriting the Zhu Family as the head of the household. Such a person, like a strong and equally tenacious grass!
Even if Lin Ming had the Red Golden Dragon Marrow Pill enhanced with the medicinal inscription symbol, he did not have full confidence that he would win!
This month, Zhu Yan will definitely attempt double!
But even knowing this, Lin Ming still issued a challenge! Not only did he have to challenge Zhu Yan, he also had to challenge himself, and force himself into a corner to stimulate his potential!
This month, the resources that Lin Ming would obtain increased. He would be able to train for a full five days in the seven major killing arrays, receive five Soul Gathering Pellets, as well as five true essence stones.
Soul Gathering Pellets were nothing, but true essence stones, especially the five full-time days of cultivation, were extremely important to Lin Ming.
Five full days is equal to 60 hours he can train. That's an average of two hours every day for a month!
Although not an indiscriminate exercise, but the effect of two hours was already very beneficial.
This morning, Lin Ming brought Penetrating Rainbow and went to Icy Pond Waterfall.
But just as he was about to enter the cold pond, a voice from a distance called out to him. "Young Cousin, wait a minute!"
“Mm?” Lin Ming stopped his steps. It was Lin Wu.
“Sepupu Young, congratulations! This time you actually got the faces of our four Lin Families! Lin Wu cheerfully said as he ran.
The Lin Family was one of the largest families in Green Mulberry City, but it currently had no means to compare with the Zhu Family. This was because the Zhu Family had a consort empress, and moreover the empress' son was awarded the title of prince.
This was not too bad; one could only blame fate. However, most of the elders of the Lin Family were boiling with anger. The Lin Family had always been suppressed by the Zhu Family and Zhu Yan. They were like mountains standing in front of the Lin Family. The strongest of the younger generation in the Lin Family was Lin Wu. He had already spent two years in the Seven Profound Martial House and had just entered the Earth Hall. Also, he was only at the lower middle rank. The other two younger generations had not even entered the Earth Hall; they could not catch up to even half of Zhu Yan. How could the elders of the Lin Family not be bothered?
But yesterday, 12 long-range sound transmission talismans had been used, and good news had been sent from a great distance that night to Green Mulberry City.
Common sound transmission talismans could only reach several dozen miles in range, but long-range sound transmission talismans could spread out to several hundred miles. The price was of course much higher than usual; one slip cost several dozen taels of gold. To relay news from Sky Fortune City to Green Mulberry City required 12 sound transmission talismans sent in series. The cost to send this news was several hundred taels of gold. If it wasn't important, then even a well-respected wealthy family like the Lin Family wouldn't be so extravagant.
12 Voice transmissions were sent out in succession, with an urgent pure golden color, they only had a few simple sentences. “Lin Ming has been at the Seven Profound Martial House for 34 days. During the assessment of the second Ten Thousand Killing Array, he reached rank 62 and obtained the qualification to challenge the Heavenly Abode. He challenged Zhu Yan at the spear point, and declared that their match would be one month later.
It was said that when the head of the Lin Family received this sound-emitting talisman, he jumped out of his seat on the spot and even used the profanity words – "This is so good!"
