Cheng Qiuci was in a very complicated mood.

She hated Lin Che, a hatred that burned deep in her bones. It was Lin Che who had caused her family to be destroyed, and the entire Zhenguo Mansion to collapse from its lofty heights.

The entire Zhenguo Mansion, including Lin Pojun, all her children died.

Ever since she returned to Yuxu Palace, not a single day had passed when she didn't want to kill Lin Che with her own hands and grind his bones to dust.

But at the same time, every time she heard news about Lin Che, she felt an endless amount of regret and remorse in her heart.

The Shenji Battalion was invincible and brave. Lin Che broke through to the eighth rank, recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and was named a king of a different surname.

Each of these is what Lin Pojun dreams of achieving.

If the family was still together, if Lin Che was still her son and still listened to her, how wonderful it would be. The dignified Lin family, the state-guarding mansion, not only had a duke, but also a king of a different surname.

Bring honor to the family and make the name famous forever.

That was her son! Her name would surely spread throughout the world, and everyone would know that she, as a mother, had raised such an outstanding son.

"God, you are really unfair to me!" Cheng Qiuci murmured.

She looked at the sky in a daze.

What should she do now? Yuxu Palace could no longer give her a sense of security.

"Junior Sister Qiuci——"

Suddenly, an elder in white robes came forward. He had a sullen expression and spoke in a harsh tone:

"The Sect Master is calling you."

"Oh... the Sect Master called me, what did he say?" Cheng Qiuci had an inexplicable feeling that it was not a good thing.

The white-robed elder said unhappily, "I don't know. Go quickly!"

"Yes, Brother!"

Cheng Qiuci didn't dare get angry, because the white-robed elder had lost more than twenty of his disciples to Lin Che. Last month, a direct disciple had even been killed by Dagan's Shadow Guards while out on the road.

This account was again put on Cheng Qiuci's head.

The logic of the white-shirted elder is very simple. If Jiang Chiling had not avenged Lin Che, if the Zhenguo Mansion had not rebelled, would the Great Queen have sent the Shadow Guards to encircle and suppress the disciples of the Yuxu Palace?

Isn’t all this because Cheng Qiuci didn’t teach her son Lin Che well?

soon.

Cheng Qiuci arrived outside the cave of the master of Yuxu Palace.

This mysterious sect leader does not live in a palace or building, but in a cave.

"Disciple Cheng Qiuci, come to see you!"

A middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties slowly walked out of the cave. He had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, his hair was tied up, and he had an otherworldly aura.

"Master..." Cheng Qiuci bowed immediately upon seeing him.

Ling Jingzong did not respond, but just glanced at her lightly and let her maintain the posture of saluting.

"You will set off for Tiandu City within three days."

"You knelt three times and kowtowed nine times along the way, and announced publicly that you were persecuted by the Zhenguo Mansion and that you feel guilty towards Lin Che. Now you want to acknowledge him as your son..."

Cheng Qiuci's expression changed suddenly.

I thought I had heard it wrong.

"What?!!"

Ling Jingzong's tone sank: "Don't make a fuss, don't forget, I saved your life. If I hadn't helped, you would have died long ago!"

Cheng Qiuci sat down on the ground, her face filled with shock. She really couldn't understand:

"Sect Master, why is this happening? You should know that Lin Che and I are at war to the death. If I were to kneel down and kowtow to admit my mistake, wouldn't I be laughed at by the world? Not only would it be disgraceful to me personally, it would also be a disgrace to Yuxu Palace!"

"Besides, he was just canonized as a king of a different surname. No matter what, I am still his mother. I still need to kneel down and worship him. This...this...Master, I would rather die!!"

BANG!!

Ling Jingzong's aura exploded instantly, knocking Cheng Qiuci away.

"Do you think you can die just because you want to?!"

Cheng Qiuci crashed into the cave wall and spurted out a mouthful of blood. She knelt down in panic and begged:

"Master, spare me, spare me! I just don't understand why this is happening?"

Ling Jingzong looked down at her from above, snorted coldly, and said:

"You are truly short-sighted. All you have in your eyes is your dead child. Don't you know what crisis my Yuxu Palace is facing now?"

"Lin Che is now more than just a king of a different surname. He is also the heir of the Eight Gates of Death in the Divine Palace. If he truly joins the Eight Gates of Death in the Divine Palace, my Yuxu Palace will be doomed."

"Either he dies, or my Yuxu Palace is destroyed!"

Ling Jingzong took a few steps forward, stood with his hands behind his back, a sharp light flashed in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"This Empress Dagan, though young, has enormous ambitions. She wants to use our Yuxu Palace as an example to scare others. She wants to control all schools of thought within the imperial court. Such an ambition is truly for the ages!!!"

"Remember, we don't have much time left. We only have two months. We must make this foreign king unable to bear it and come to Yuxu Palace personally."

"If my Yuxu Palace kills this foreign king, it will be equivalent to shocking the entire Dagan. From now on, the entire Dagan will worship my Yuxu Palace!"

Cheng Qiuci still didn't understand after hearing this, so she tried to probe:

"If that's the case, I can condemn him. He's the one who killed his father and murdered the entire Zhenguo Mansion clan..."

"Will it be useful? With his current status, you can curse him for a hundred years and he won't even hear it. There are plenty of people vying to kill you for him. But if you want to acknowledge him as your son, that's different. This matter must be resolved by him personally..."

Cheng Qiuci listened and closed her eyes in despair.

She knew very well what Yuxu Palace was like. If she still had a role to play, everyone would respect and love her. She was also the former Saint.
