297: The people in the dynasty are all black-hearted

This time, it was not just Lin Yu who came to the Wu Dynasty; even Ling Ruoqing had come.

After she emerged from the Lingxu Battlefield, she would drift into a daze from time to time, and she couldn't even calm her mind to Cultivate.

Seeing Ling Ruoqing like this, the Mystic Moon Holy Master was naturally very heartbroken, but unfortunately, she would not speak of what had happened.

It just so happened that Lin Yu was coming to the Wu Dynasty to participate in the succession struggle, so the Mystic Moon Holy Master let Ling Ruoqing come along to clear her mind.

She would never have imagined that the reason Ling Ruoqing had become like this was right here within the Wu Dynasty; if she had known, she would absolutely not have let Ling Ruoqing come here.

"Senior Sister Ling, look, this Immortal Dynasty is truly completely different from our Profound Moon Holy Land!"

A cute-looking little girl came to Ling Ruoqing's side, her face full of excitement. Clearly, she hadn't left the Holy Land many times, and she found everything she saw fresh and novel.

Hearing her Junior Sister's words, Ling Ruoqing smiled and nodded, gently stroking the other's fluffy hair.

"Senior Sister Ling, you haven't smiled genuinely for a long time. Why aren't you happy?"

Hearing this, Ling Ruoqing shook her head, a look of bewilderment appearing in her beautiful eyes: "I am not unhappy, don't worry, Xiao Yu."

"You clearly are! Could it be that you have a crush on someone, Senior Sister? I saw in those secular storybooks that after a girl finds someone she likes, she will..."

"No!"

Before the Junior Sister could finish speaking, Ling Ruoqing interrupted her directly, a faint, imperceptible blush appearing on her pretty face.

Others might not have noticed, but Xiao Yu saw it immediately. She gave a cheeky grin, as if she had stolen some candy: "Hehe... Senior Sister Ling, you definitely have a crush on someone. Let me guess, is it Senior Brother Chu, or is it the Saint?"

Ling Ruoqing frowned slightly and gently tapped her Junior Sister's smooth forehead.

"Don't guess wildly, child. I don't have those kinds of thoughts about Junior Brother Chu or the Saint."

"Ah?"

The little girl's face was full of confusion: "But in our Holy Land, those are the only two Senior Brothers I think are worthy of you, Senior Sister. You haven't paid much attention to anyone else!"

"Senior Sister, you must be careful. My mother said that you must know the person you like inside and out, especially their character!"

"If you fall for someone you don't know well, what if they are like that big Devil Head, Lin Ye, from before? He eats people!"

"..."

Ling Ruoqing was speechless.

Good grief, what was this little girl trying to do, stepping directly on a landmine?

While chatting and laughing, the group arrived at the Second Prince's residence.

The moment he saw Lin Yu, the Second Prince greeted him, his face full of smiles: "Brother Lin, you've finally arrived. I am truly so grateful to you! Truly!"

Facing the Second Prince's enthusiasm, Lin Yu smiled slightly: "You and I explored the Secret Realm together before; we have long had the camaraderie of brothers. If you are in trouble, I naturally have to help."

"That's great! That's great! To tell you the truth, the reason I asked you, Brother Lin, to come and help this time is because I had no other choice!"

"Originally, the position of Martial Emperor did not allow my elder sister to participate. I thought it would be based on individual ability, but who would have thought that my elder sister's Dao Companion would show up. Sigh..."

"Dao Companion?"

"Mm!"

The Second Prince nodded heavily: "You know my elder sister's Dao Companion too. It's that Lin Ye, the one you joined forces with to deal with Lin Ming in the Lingxu Battlefield before!"

"..."

Once these words were spoken, Lin Yu fell silent.

Behind him, Ling Ruoqing looked at the Second Prince with a strange expression.

She even suspected that this Second Prince was an idiot. Everything that happened on the sky screen earlier had led people across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to speculate that Lin Ye and Lin Yu must be from the Chang Sheng Lin Family.

And there were also rumors about gouging out eyes and digging out bodies.

It was very obvious that Lin Yu and Lin Ye were brothers!

You didn't even figure out the intelligence, and yet you asked Lin Yu to come help?

Furthermore, regarding the final scene in the Lingxu Battlefield, Lin Yu clearly retained goodwill toward Lin Ye, otherwise he would not have voluntarily left.

Asking Lin Yu to help, are you sure that isn't just making things more chaotic?

With this kind of intelligence, even if he became the Martial Emperor, he would probably be played to death by others, right?

After a moment of silence, Lin Yu took a deep breath and said seriously: "You asked me to come help you, no problem, but I cannot guarantee that I can help you win in the end."

"It doesn't matter!"

The Second Prince smiled and shook his head: "Brother Lin, just do your best. As for this position of Martial Emperor, if I obtain it, it is my fortune; if I lose it, it is my fate. I don't care about winning or losing, so why should you?"

After saying this, the Second Prince directly welcomed Lin Yu and the others from the Profound Moon Holy Land into the rooms for rest.

After everyone had gone to rest.

The Second Prince's smile gradually faded, and he squinted his eyes as he looked toward the guest rooms.

In the Immortal Dynasty, who is truly a fool?

Regarding the intelligence on Lin Ye and Lin Yu, the Second Prince was naturally very well-informed.

Even before in the Secret Realm, the Second Prince had deliberately tried to contact Lin Yu; despite being a generation higher than the other, he insisted on calling Lin Yu "Brother Lin."

Moreover, asking the other party to come this time was also something the Second Prince had calculated.

On the sky screen earlier, everyone saw that Lin Yu conceded the final victory to Lin Ye. Of course, if the two were to fight, it was unknown who would be stronger or weaker, but it had to be said that Lin Ye still owed Lin Yu one.

Plus, the two were biological brothers.

The Second Prince was certain that Lin Ye would return the favor Lin Yu had shown him!

In that case, wouldn't that allow him to win?

Furthermore...

The image of Ling Ruoqing appeared in the Second Prince's mind, especially her shockingly long legs.

Since Ling Ruoqing was about to become the Saintess of the Profound Moon Holy Land, if Lin Yu lost in the confrontation with Lin Ye, it shouldn't be excessive for him to propose a marriage alliance with Ling Ruoqing, right?

In that case, he would be able to obtain the support of the Profound Moon Holy Land, and the position of Martial Emperor would be his sooner or later.

After all, if his own father were on the throne, he would have absolutely no chance, but after his father stepped down, it was that idiot of a Ninth Prince who would ascend as a Puppet.

Wouldn't it be easy to deal with a Puppet?

By then, with the support of his maternal family's forces, plus the Profound Moon Holy Land, he didn't believe he couldn't compete for the trust of the Ancestors!

If Cheng De Zhu heard the Second Prince's thoughts, he would definitely sigh.

Damn it.

The people in the Imperial Dynasty, whether in the cultivation world or the secular world, their hearts are truly black!

But there is a saying that is correct: when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes back. The Second Prince, who thought he absolutely wouldn't lose out, schemed against others, but how could others not scheme against him?

In the guest room.

Ling Ruoqing came to Lin Yu's room.

"Saint, Senior Brother."

"Mm..."

At this moment, Lin Yu's face no longer had the smile he had when facing the Second Prince earlier; instead, it carried a touch of seriousness.
