"Your Highness, please come in!"
Lin Feng opened the door with curiosity, only to find the Second Prince alone outside.
"Um!"
The Second Prince, Li Menglong, nodded, lightly waved his folding fan, and walked in.
"What instructions does Your Highness have?"
After the two sat down, Lin Feng asked directly.
Do you know why this prince is helping you?
The second prince asked with a smile.
"Didn't Your Highness just say that I'm here to run for the position of imperial consort? You are in charge of this election. If something happens to me here at the royal residence, it would damage the reputation of the royal family!"
Lin Feng said calmly.
"That's just one of the reasons!"
The Second Prince smiled and shook his head. "That reason alone is not enough to make me risk offending Ancestor Gongsun to save you!"
"After all, you should know that Old Ancestor Gongsun is my biggest supporter!"
"I will need his support to compete for the position of crown prince in the future!"
"If you were just an ordinary candidate for the position of imperial consort, why would this prince risk offending you!"
"Oh? So Your Highness means...?"
Lin Feng frowned slightly.
"Besides upholding the dignity and face of the royal family, the main reason I'm helping you is because of your extraordinary strength and the fact that you have a grudge against the Gongsun family!"
The Second Prince said solemnly.
"Huh? Wait! Let me sort this out!"
Lin Feng looked surprised. "Your Highness, didn't you say that the Gongsun family is your supporter?"
"If I have a grudge against them, isn't that the same as having a grudge against you?"
Why would you help me for this reason?
"You don't know this!"
The Second Prince shook his head and smiled, "Although the Gongsun family is my supporter, they take advantage of my need for them and have been greedily demanding benefits from me!"
"Furthermore, some members of the Gongsun family have repeatedly shown disrespect to this prince!"
"Gongsun Ba today is a typical example!"
"He's just the fifth son of the Gongsun family, an ant with only the eighth-level Grandmaster cultivation, yet he dares to threaten me, the prince, in public! He simply can't tell the difference between a prince and a queen!"
"Most importantly, as far as I know, while the Gongsun family is openly supporting me, they have also been secretly contacting my elder brother. They are clearly hedging their bets!"
"How could I, the prince, possibly tolerate such a wavering and wicked servant?"
"I understand? Your Highness means you want me to help you deal with the Gongsun family?"
Lin Feng suddenly realized.
"Haha, Brother Lin is indeed a smart man!"
The second prince closed his folding fan and tapped it with his hand. "That's right, I need help now!"
"I saved you in the hope that you can help me, the prince, to counterbalance the Gongsun family!"
"Checks and balances? Is it really necessary to go through all that trouble? Or, I can just wipe out the Gongsun family for you!"
Lin Feng frowned.
"..."
The second prince was dumbfounded.
Destroy...destroy the Gongsun family?
Does this guy even know what he's talking about?
That's the Gongsun family, one of the three great families of the capital!
One of the most powerful forces in the Great Jin Kingdom!
That old ancestor Gongsun was the powerful prime minister of the court!
All civil officials in the Great Jin Kingdom must regard him as their leader!
Most importantly, he is a half-step king whose cultivation level is second only to the King of the Great Jin Kingdom!
Even he, the second prince, couldn't do anything to that old man!
Is Raymond Lam capable?
"What, Your Highness, do you doubt my abilities?"
Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Highly doubtful!"
The Second Prince looked at Lin Feng with suspicion, "You're at the peak of the ninth level of Grandmaster, right?"
I guess so!
Lin Feng smiled.
In fact, he is only at the ninth level of Grandmaster, but he is equivalent to the peak of the ninth level of Grandmaster for others!
"I guess so? This thing can even be considered one?"
The second prince frowned, becoming even more suspicious, but he didn't think much of it and continued, "Do you know what level of cultivation that Ancestor Gongsun possesses?"
"Isn't he just a half-step king?"
Lin Feng said calmly.
"Isn't that it?"
The second prince was taken aback for a moment, then smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Lin, you certainly have quite the nerve!"
"Do you know that I, the prince, have already reached the Great Perfection of the Ninth Level of Grandmaster!"
"Even so, the level of half-step king is still a height that this prince cannot reach at present!"
"And in the eyes of other Grandmasters at the peak of the ninth level, a half-step King is as terrifying as a god!"
"Such a powerful being, yet you speak of it as if it were nothing... Where do you get your confidence?"
"Do you really think that with your peak ninth-level Grandmaster cultivation, you can shake a half-step King?"
"Your Highness, you don't need to worry about that!"
Lin Feng smiled mysteriously, "If you trust me, we can make a deal!"
"Give me a high-level Heaven-rank cultivation technique and a high-level Heaven-rank martial skill, and I'll wipe out the Gongsun family for you!"
"Of course, if you could give me a King-level cultivation technique and a King-level martial skill, I could definitely help you become the Crown Prince!"
As long as he can obtain high-level Heaven-grade cultivation techniques and high-level Heaven-grade martial arts, he is confident that he can become a half-step king!
In that case, there would be no need to go through the trouble of participating in this imperial son-in-law election!
To be honest, he wasn't really interested in this election for the imperial son-in-law!
After all, he still didn't know what the princess who was seeking a husband looked like!
If the other party turns out to be a slut, he'll be at a huge loss!
