"I didn't do anything earth-shattering, just killed some small fry," Ye Qiu said casually.
"Really?" Lin Qingzhu asked suspiciously, "Would the Dragon Emperor send a large army to hunt you down just for killing some minor characters?"
"Don't ask so many questions, let's go."
Ye Qiu pulled Lin Qingzhu along and they quickly drove away.
...
Lin Xuanye of Longdu quickly received the latest news.
When he learned that Cao Qiushan had been killed and the Sword Immortal Sect was nearly destroyed.
Even the old temple master couldn't stop Ye Qiu. After Ye Qiu calmly left, Lin Xuanye's face turned red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Your Majesty, please take care of your health."
The personal eunuch hurriedly helped Lin Xuanye up.
"Why is this happening? Why?" Lin Xuanye's voice was hoarse: "Why was he able to wipe out two major forces of my Great Dragon Dynasty all by himself?"
"Whether it's the Sword Immortal Sect or the Wu Family Sword Pavilion, both are top-tier extraordinary forces in the Great Dragon Dynasty. How could he possibly destroy them all by himself? I cannot understand."
"Your Majesty, things have come to this point, there is no other way but to plan slowly and gradually." The personal eunuch tried to comfort him.
"What else could he be plotting?" Lin Xuanye clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot. "He not only occupied a hundred miles of territory outside my border, but also single-handedly stormed into Dragon Capital and wiped out two major forces, and even severely damaged the Supreme God Palace."
If I cannot kill him, he will forever rule the dynasty, and what face will I have left?
The personal eunuch dared not speak, because this matter had indeed caused the capital to lose face and suffer extremely heavy losses.
The crucial point is that Ye Qiu calmly left unharmed after killing someone, which is even more unacceptable.
Do you regret it now?
Lin Jingshu appeared at the entrance of the main hall.
Lin Xuanye turned his gaze to Lin Jingshu, but said nothing.
Lin Jingshu slowly walked into the main hall, staring at Lin Xuanye with great disappointment: "Brother Xuanye, I really want to ask you, why did you betray Ye Qiu?"
If you don't betray him, the current situation will definitely reverse, and he will help you stabilize the overall situation and truly take control of the power.
But what have you done? Don't you realize where you went wrong?
"What good will it do you to criticize me now? What can you salvage?"
Lin Xuanye clenched his teeth.
“There’s still a chance,” Lin Jingshu said. “Brother Xuan Ye, look, Ye Qiu entered Longdu but didn’t come to find you. This means he might still have some old feelings for you.”
If you're willing to humble yourself and contact him, there might still be a chance to win him back and bring him back to Longdu.
If we truly don't want to, and cannot, continue to be enemies, wouldn't it be better to simply issue an imperial decree to grant him that hundred-mile stretch of land outside the border, making him the guardian deity of the Great Dragon's nation's gate?
Lin Xuanye's eyes lit up, and his mind quickly started working: "Do you have any ideas?"
"I'm just giving Brother Xuan Ye a suggestion. I don't know the specifics of how to do it. All I know is that no matter what, you absolutely cannot be his enemy," Lin Jingshu said.
"How about this..." Lin Xuanye stared at Lin Jingshu: "Do you think the path of a marriage alliance is feasible?"
"A marriage alliance? What does that mean?"
"You and Ye Qiu."
Lin Xuanye stated it directly.
Lin Jingshu stared at Lin Xuanye in astonishment and disbelief: "You actually want to use me for a political marriage?"
"Only you are suitable, and only you can move Ye Qiu."
"I disagree," Lin Jingshu said seriously. "First of all, Ye Qiu might not even be interested in me, and secondly, I myself am not willing."
"Jing Shu, for the sake of the Great Dragon Dynasty, I hope you will consider this carefully, and it would be best to ask the Empress Dowager for advice," Lin Xuanye said in a deep voice.
"No need to ask anymore." The Imperial Tutor's voice suddenly came: "This path is blocked, I will not agree."
"Jing Shu, come back. Don't interfere in his feud with Ye Qiu. It's none of your business, and it's none of my business either."
"yes."
Lin Jingshu nodded gently.
Then, she gave Lin Xuanye a deep look before turning and leaving.
Lin Xuanye clenched his fists, his breathing becoming more rapid.
He was truly unwilling to accept it...
After hesitating for a long time, Lin Xuanye finally made up his mind and dialed Ye Qiu's number.
Ye Qiu did not reject the call and answered it directly.
"Ye...no, I should call you teacher, teacher, I..."
"Stop." Ye Qiu's cold voice came from the phone: "I'm not your teacher. Get to the point."
Lin Xuanye was slightly taken aback, not expecting Ye Qiu's attitude to be so assertive.
But Lin Xuanye still calmed himself down and said in a deep voice, "Teacher, everything in the past was due to my one wrong thought. I now know I was wrong. Can you return to Longdu?"
Alternatively, we can reconcile, and I will legally and legitimately allocate the land beyond the border to you, granting Zulong City and Zulong Palace legitimate status. Would you be willing?
"You only have one choice," Ye Qiu said calmly. "Send a million troops to conquer Zulong City, or you choose to surrender. There is no other choice. You're gone."
Ye Qiu hung up the phone immediately.
"Damn it..."
Lin Xuanye slammed the communicator in his hand, furious.
The personal eunuch didn't dare to breathe loudly, much less utter a word.
A deathly silence fell over the room. After a long while, Lin Xuanye slowly muttered to himself, "It seems that the Supreme Divine Palace is my last resort."
...
At this very moment, three hundred miles away, Ye Qiu and Lin Qingzhu were taking a short rest by a clear stream.
There were quite a few people by the river; some were washing clothes, and others were chatting.
Ye Qiu was in a very good mood after hanging up the phone.
"Was that the Dragon Emperor's call? I think I vaguely heard him say he wanted to reconcile with you." Lin Qingzhu looked at Ye Qiu.
