Chapter 147 Are you worthy? (Thanks to the leader Jun Bu Jian Huang He!)
The most tear-jerking thing in the world is always a ray of light that shines through the darkness of despair.
Especially when that light comes from a guy you thought was dead.
The moment that sudden voice sounded, Eleanor's heart seemed to stop beating and she opened her eyes subconsciously.
What came into view was an absurd picture.
Countless black threads shot out from all directions as if they had pierced through the void, instantly piercing through the four third-level extraordinary subordinates of the Fourth Prince Joshua.
They didn't even have the chance to resist before their bodies were pierced by this cunning and invisible extraordinary means.
The four men groaned in pain, then fell heavily to the ground, blood spurting everywhere.
"ah!!!"
Before they could figure out what was happening, the students who were watching nearby screamed in surprise. Even many noble girls who had never seen a bloody scene covered their mouths and stared at the scene with pale faces.
Obviously, no one had expected that the originally lively dinner would suddenly change its tone and become what it is now.
Except for Eleanor herself.
Having spent more than ten years with the boy whom she called "brother", she was extremely familiar with every inch of his skin.
How could she not recognize the voice that she had been longing for?
“.”
In just a moment, the crystal tears that had just lingered in the eyes slowly slid down the cheeks and dripped onto the ground.
Feeling the extraordinary power that imprisoned him dissipate instantly, Eleanor staggered around and looked in the direction of the door.
There was a hint of anticipation and nine parts of fear in her eyes.
It was as if he was afraid that everything that had just happened was just a dream.
As far as the eye could see, a black-haired young man in a formal attire was walking against the light. In his sparkling blue eyes, which were very similar to hers, there was a hint of relief and encouragement.
As if to say, thank you for your hard work.
"elder brother?"
Eleanor's pink lips trembled slightly, and her body swayed, as if she would faint from the sudden joy in the next second.
But even so, she still lifted her skirt and took a stumbling step forward.
Because she was wearing high heels, in order to make it easier to run, Eleanor even ignored the gazes of the people around her, kicked off her shoes, and ran towards the black-haired boy she had been thinking about day and night with her tender little feet bare!
During this process, silent tears fell behind her, showing the girl's excitement and joy at the moment.
"elder brother!"
She wanted to rub her petite body into the boy's arms like a young swallow.
She had fantasized about this moment for too long and waited for too long.
And now, all the girl's expectations have finally taken root and blossomed into beautiful flowers.
The moment their eyes met, Lin En, who had barged into this high-class dinner like an uninvited guest, instantly felt at ease.
Although he had been suppressing his innermost emotions with the excuse that he was actually a time traveler, he was afraid that after meeting Eleanor, he might be treated coldly as an incompetent brother for one reason or another.
But when he noticed the indelible attachment in Eleanor's eyes, the blood ties that were thicker than water prevailed.
At this moment, the touch deep in my heart is not false.
And it was obvious that what this lovely sister of his needed most right now was not any promise or verbal comfort.
Thinking of this, Lin En slowly opened his arms and embraced the petite girl who flew towards him.
As the sweet fragrance wafted into his nose, he felt a long-lost sense of tranquility in his heart.
This is a feeling that even Her Royal Highness the Princess and Miss Witch cannot give him.
"Brother, I, I miss you so much."
The girl in his arms sobbed and spoke in a depressed voice.
Lin En said nothing, just gently stroked her little head and let her release her emotions.
Time seemed to freeze at this second.
Of course, not only Eunice and the fourth prince Joshua, but also the students watching were really stuck in a state of time standing still.
Simply because they were also in unprecedented shock.
How could it be him? !
When Eunice saw the tall figure that seemed to be wrapped in wind and snow rushing into the guild hall, she stood there in a daze.
The guy who should have been exiled to the border or even died in the turmoil seemed to be playing a joke on them. He appeared at the dinner party so abruptly and openly.
As if to say, I'm just teasing you.
But no one would find it funny.
Is this resurrection from the dead? For some reason, Eunice's heartbeat quickened slightly, and her face suddenly became a little panicked.
In her memory, there was that young man who was always as proud and powerful as the sun, that monster who always made her feel powerless, that... Scenes from the past reappeared in her mind.
No, why am I panicking?!
He had long been deprived of his divine genes and exiled to the border!
Even if he returned to the imperial capital, even if he clung to the thigh of the third princess who ranked last, it would only be the last struggle of a stray dog! After all, the transplant operation was performed by His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince himself!
Thinking of this, Eunice subconsciously looked at the fourth prince Joshua beside her.
Unexpectedly, the young man wearing black-framed glasses frowned deeply, as if he was very puzzled by the scene before him.
"To kill four level 3 transcendents instantly, it must be a level 2 seal. But that's not right. A seal of this level must be controlled by a level 3 or higher. How could he..."
The fourth prince Joshua did not seem angry about the injuries of his guards.
He didn't even look down at them, his eyes stayed on the young man from beginning to end.
After all, no one would know better than him that the Tianli Church personally deprived him of all the divine factors in his body and even branded him as a person abandoned by God, destroying his possibility of becoming a transcendent again.
Besides, that guy Ferit probably deceived himself.
It was obvious that this guy was still alive, but someone came over and said that he was dead.
He has ulterior motives.
Next time, let the institute terminate all cooperation with him.
Thinking of this, a thoughtful look appeared on the face of the Fourth Prince Joshua.
But the students watching were unaware of the grudges between these people.
However, many people were instantly amazed after seeing the boy's handsome and delicate appearance.
"It's him!"
"Senior Lin En? He...he is back?"
"Didn't he say that he had been deprived of his divine gene and had become an ordinary person? Why was he able to use such a powerful seal just now?!"
"He returned to Grosstin because he wanted to..."
The students watching immediately began to whisper.
For a moment, the hall, which had been silent just a moment ago, suddenly became noisy.
However, Lynn, the instigator of all this and the central figure of the incident, and his sister Eleanor, tacitly ignored the reactions of the people around them.
She cried for an unknown amount of time, until even the cloth on her chest was wet. Eleanor then slowly raised her head, blinked her red and swollen eyes, and looked at her brother in a cute way.
"Brother, I thought I would never see you again."
"What on earth has happened to you in this year?"
As if she had finally found her backbone, Eleanor no longer had her previous stubbornness, and even her voice subconsciously took on a somewhat dependent and coquettish tone.
Hearing this, Lin En reached out to wipe away the remaining tears from her eyes, and then patted her head: "When we get home, I will tell you everything."
"But right now, there are more important things to deal with."
His voice suddenly became a little cold, and then he held Eleanor in his arms and looked up not far away.
Feeling the boy's calm gaze, Eunice subconsciously looked away, then realized that he was just a stray dog from a ruined family, and immediately glared back with a stiff face.
The Fourth Prince, on the other hand, did not dodge or evade. Instead, he put his hands behind his back and slowly took two steps forward.

"Lynn Bartleron, you are so brave." Joshua said with a smile, "Knowing that someone wanted to assassinate this prince, you dared to cripple my four extraordinary guards in public."
"According to the Imperial Code, you should be sentenced to death."
"Brother, let's go back first!" After realizing the current situation, Eleanor's eyes showed a hint of pleading, "Please don't conflict with them, I, I'm fine."
"Just stand aside and watch."
Lynn patted her head again and protected her behind him.
As the first "show" after returning to the imperial capital, it must be grand enough, preferably to arouse the vigilance and fear of some people.
"Imperial Code?" In response to the Fourth Prince's remarks, Lin En shook his head. "I thought Your Highness Joshua was a dead nerd who only knew how to study crooked ways, but I didn't expect that you also have quite a sense of humor."
"Oh? How do you mean?"
The Fourth Prince was not angry, but rather curious.
Lin En looked at him calmly: "If we really want to talk about the Imperial Code, as the initiator of the 'Ruins Project', are you qualified to stand here and talk to me in such a high-sounding manner?"
He seemed to be pointing to something.
The moment he heard those four words, the calmness and composure that the Fourth Prince Joshua had just pretended to have disappeared in an instant.
There was a hint of shock in his eyes, followed by a flash of murderous intent.
He originally thought that this plan was an insider knowledge known only to his father, him, and a very small number of high-ranking officials.
I never thought that this guy in front of me actually knew something about it.
Was it infiltrated from the inside?
All sorts of speculations ran through Joshua's mind.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat depressing, as if both sides were going to fight to the death in the next second.
No one dared to even breathe.
Afraid that blood would splash on them later.
Fortunately, after a moment, Lin En suddenly laughed, the meaning of which was hard to guess: "But, Your Highness has a good father, so there is nothing we can do about it."
?! The moment they heard this, the students watching around them broke out in cold sweat.
This guy is implying the great Saint Laurent VI, His Majesty Calderon? !
He doesn't want to die?!
Everyone looked at each other in confusion; no one dared to interrupt at such a juncture.
In addition, because they did not have the owner's permission, they had no excuse to leave for the time being, so they had to bite the bullet and continue watching the "good show" in front of them.
Obviously, no one could guess what the second son of the Bartleon family would do after returning for more than a year.
"elder brother."
Eleanor hid timidly behind him.
Lynn squeezed her little hand gently to comfort her.
After hearing his words, there was a brief silence. The Fourth Prince did not show the anger that one might imagine. Instead, he took off his glasses and wiped them gently with the cloth on his sleeves: "In a sense, you are right."
"I have a great father, and you don't. That's the difference between us."
"So, Lynn Bartleron, you broke into our party today and ruined my dance with your sister. What on earth did you want to do?"
After putting on his glasses again, the fourth prince Joshua regained his original wisdom and calmness.
"Although I scoff at what Your Highness said just now, there are some things that at least need to be done in accordance with the law."
"I came here today to ask Your Highness to judge a case and to uphold justice for me."
Lynn chuckled.
"Let me administer justice?" A trace of surprise flashed across the fourth prince's eyes, and then he sneered, "You are such an interesting guy."
"In that case, then tell me."
Hearing this, Lynn did not answer him, but turned her gaze to Eunice, whom she had never paid attention to from beginning to end.
This guy finally looked at me. Feeling the shame of being ignored, Eunice looked angry and clenched her fists tightly.
As a member of the Mosgra family, she had never imagined that the heir of Barteleon, who had already lost to her family in a fight, could still act so contemptuous.
Unexpectedly, when their eyes met, the black-haired boy actually revealed a somewhat strange smile.
Then he clapped his hands gently.
The next second, accompanied by a burst of hurried and noisy footsteps, dozens of border servants, carrying dozens of guys with sacks on their heads, rushed into the huge guild hall, instantly filling up a large open space.
The students watching around subconsciously crowded to the wall, as if they were unwilling to be in the same room with these rough-looking guys.
At Lin En's signal, the leader pushed a tied servant over and kicked him behind the knee. The guy with a sack on his head immediately knelt on the ground wailing.
The Fourth Prince narrowed his eyes and stared at the scene in front of him without saying a word.
"You are a guy who doesn't know etiquette and respect. Get out of the guild hall immediately before I expel you!"
Watching everything happening in front of her, Eunice suppressed the anger in her heart and said through gritted teeth.
Even though such an explosive situation had occurred, the guards and security had not shown up. It was obvious that they had been dealt with by these people.
His elder brother Darion died at the hands of this guy before. It is said that he also got in touch with the third princess and Duke Tyreus because of this.
It did help this useless guy become something of a figure.
Right now, Sister Irina is still at the border, so it looks like we have to ask someone from the family to come and handle this matter.
Feeling the unexpected development of the situation, Eunice suddenly felt a little annoyed.
However, Lynn had no desire to talk to her from beginning to end.
He took off the man's hood, and then a somewhat old woman's face came into everyone's sight.
Looking at the tearful face of maid Maria, Eunice suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart.
What is this guy going to do?!
