Imperial capital, Mingxin Hall.

Shui Mingjun sat on the imperial chair, lowering his head to review the memorial in his hand.

"The Spirit Emperor and the Spirit Lord fought? Yao'er was accidentally injured and fell unconscious?"

After a long time, Shui Mingjun put down the memorial in his hand, rubbed his brows, and looked tiredly at Shui Ningye, who had been kneeling on the ground for two hours.

"Yes, Father. Yao'er was injured because of my poor care. Please punish me severely!"

Shui Ningye lowered his head deeply, not wanting Shui Mingjun to see his expression.

Shui Mingjun suddenly rushed down from the imperial throne, came to Shui Ningye, and kicked Shui Ningye to the ground.

"Injured? Unconscious? How dare you come to see me? Why don't you die there?"

Shui Mingjun's face showed indescribable anger and he shouted.

Shui Yaoyao is his only daughter, and now this kind of thing has happened!

Shui Ningye showed a trace of pain on his face. With his low cultivation level, how could he withstand a kick from the powerful Spirit Lord Shui Mingjun?

He knelt on the ground, hurriedly crawled to Shui Mingjun's feet, and said in a tearful voice: "Yao'er was injured and I am responsible. I would rather be the one injured and unconscious. Please punish me severely, father!"

After kicking Shui Ningye away again, Shui Mingjun trembled all over and said, "You bastard! I asked you to take Yaoyao to the border and investigate the mysterious power, but you came back alone. How dare you come to see me?"

"Father, Father! I don't want this to happen, but Yao'er is unconscious. I don't dare to bring her back!"

"Don't dare? Are you afraid that I'll take your life?"

Shui Mingjun, the king of a country, actually called himself Laozi, which shows how angry he is.

Shui Ningye cried in fear, "No! I can die! But there is an important message I must pass back. That's why I left Yaoyao alone in the Beast Taming City and rushed back alone, regardless of life or death!"

"News? What news did you bring me? The news that Yao'er was injured and unconscious?"

"No!"

Shui Ningye quickly said, "It's the Lin family! It's the Lin family that's plotting a rebellion!"

"What? What did you say?"

Shui Mingjun's expression changed drastically. He grabbed Shui Ningye and asked, "What did you just say?"

Seeing Shui Mingjun's reaction, Shui Ningye was delighted and quickly said, "After Yaoyao was injured, I searched for a famous doctor overnight. But at that moment, two groups of assassins sneaked into the City Lord's Mansion, intending to assassinate Yaoyao and me. If it weren't for Uncle Ming's desperate protection, even the child would not have come back!"

"No, impossible!"

Shui Mingjun's expression changed constantly, his lips trembling slightly. Although he was very wary of the Lin family and even wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible, he was just thinking about it because he knew that the Lin family would never betray him.

"Father, I have evidence!"

Shui Ningye quickly stood up, the ring in his hand flashed, and a corpse appeared in front of the two.

"This is the assassin that Uncle Ming killed that day, look!"

Shui Ningye pushed aside the clothes on the chest of the man in black, and a blood-red crabapple appeared in Shui Mingjun's eyes.

Shui Mingjun's pupils constricted, "This is... a Blood Guard?!"

"That's right! It's the Blood Guard!"

Shui Mingjun suddenly took a step back, his face full of disbelief.

The Blood Guard was Shui Hantian's secret guard back then, responsible for assassinations in secret and had made countless contributions.

When a beast tide broke out in the Beast Taming City a hundred years ago, Shui Hantian handed over the Blood Guard to Lin Tianpo, and Lin Tianpo has been in command ever since.

During the past hundred years, the Blood Guards were trained by Lin Tianpo like death squads, responsible for assassinating the leaders of the forces opposing the royal family.

But unexpectedly, he saw this scene today.

"Father! They even dare to do such a thing. The Lin family is going to rebel!"

Shui Mingjun slowly walked up the steps and then sat down on the imperial chair.

His eyes were dull as he murmured, "The Lin family, are they really going to rebel against me?"

"Father! The Lin family's evil ambitions are obvious. You must make a decision soon!"

Shui Mingjun stared blankly at Shui Ningye below. When Shui Ningye's whole body turned cold, he slowly said, "Although I am afraid of the Lin family, I have never really wanted to get rid of them because of your grandfather, and even more because of the contributions the Lin family has made to the empire over the years. But now, they are forcing me!"

After hearing what Shui Mingjun said, Shui Ningye knew that his father had made up his mind.

"Ye'er."

Shui Ningye stood up hurriedly, "Father!"

"Don't blame Father. Yao'er is your sister and my beloved daughter. Father was angry for a moment and said those harsh words."

"I don't blame you, Father. I didn't take good care of Yaoyao, but don't worry, Father. I've found a fourth-grade alchemist to treat her. Fortunately, Yaoyao's injuries aren't serious. She'll be back safe and sound in at most six months."

"That being said, Father is still very worried. However, even though I'm worried, I have to put it aside for now."

Shui Mingjun's eyes gradually turned cold. "You did a great job this time, bringing back the news in time. I should have rewarded you, but you also made a serious mistake in Yaoyao's matter. Since your merits and demerits offset each other, I will neither reward nor punish you."

Shui Ningye's eyes lit up with ecstasy, and he quickly expressed his gratitude: "Thank you, Father! I don't ask for any reward, I just hope I can help relieve your worries a little."

"Alright, you can go down. Yaoyao is still in the Beastmaster City. Father is very worried, but as the ruler of a country, I can't leave easily. I really can't let Yaoyao go alone. You should go back and take care of Yaoyao now."

"Brother Jin, this time you and Ye'er will return to the Beast Taming City together and bring Yaoyao back."
