307: Get started!

Seeing the intimate scene in the room, Empress Wu's small mouth slightly opened.

This Lin Ye, how, how could he be so outrageous?! This is Mingyue's bedchamber!

Although she wanted to walk in and stop Lin Ye, Empress Wu couldn't take a step. In fact, her mind was still fantasizing, fantasizing that Ling Ruoqing's face had become her own.

Bah!!!

Empress Wu inwardly spat at herself. She felt a wave of guilt and wanted to leave, but her legs felt a bit weak.

She could only stare fixedly at the intimate scene inside.

Unknowingly, a night passed.

The next day, just as dawn broke, Lin Ye gently moved the lotus-root-like jade arm off his chest and turned to look at Ling Ruoqing.

Her stunningly beautiful face seemed to have traces of tears, clearly shed when she felt aggrieved earlier. Her soft, warm little mouth was slightly upturned, making one want to peck it lightly.

A large expanse of snow-white skin came into view.

Although Lin Ye wanted to continue, unfortunately, there was the Succession Competition today, and he could not delay for too long.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye extended two fingers and lightly pinched Ling Ruoqing's little cheek.

"Mmm..."

Accompanied by a murmur, Ling Ruoqing slowly opened her eyes. After seeing Lin Ye staring intently at her, her snow-white face instantly turned crimson, as if it could bleed.

The next moment, she directly grabbed the quilt and covered her head.

"Alright, hurry up and get up. There is a competition today. If I'm not mistaken, your Profound Moon Holy Land should be up."

Hearing this, Ling Ruoqing slowly lifted the quilt, revealing half of her face. She peeked at Lin Ye and let out a voice like a mosquito: "You, you get up first, I'll get up in a while."

Seeing Ling Ruoqing's adorable appearance, Lin Ye lightly tapped her delicate nose and said softly, "It's not like I haven't seen it before, what are you shy about?"

"An, anyway, you leave first, then I'll get up!"

Lin Ye helplessly shook his head, then straightened up and draped the red clothes scattered on the chair over his body.

After tidying his clothes, he walked directly out the door.

Bang!

After the door closed, Ling Ruoqing poked her little head out. Her pretty face was covered in a flush, and she slowly pulled her clothes into the quilt.

At this moment, her mind was still a bit chaotic.

What happened yesterday? What is her relationship with Lin Ye now?

Ling Ruoqing began to fret again. She didn't know if what she did was right, but the only thing she knew was that the empty feeling in her heart was gone.

Meanwhile, Lin Ye, who had walked out of the room, froze in place.

The stunningly beautiful woman at the door, who else could it be but Empress Wu?

But why was she sitting on the ground? And why was her beautiful face covered in a flush?

Empress Wu, whose eyes were unfocused, heard the movement and slowly came back to her senses. When she saw Lin Ye standing right in front of her, looking at her with a strange expression, Empress Wu instantly stood up.

"Ahem... Lin, Lin Ye, I just happened to come to find you to go to the Imperial City. It's good that you're awake, let's go!"

Having said that, Empress Wu didn't give Lin Ye a chance to speak and walked straight outside.

Watching Empress Wu's back, the expression on Lin Ye's face became increasingly strange.

If I had known, I should have covered the whole room with a grand formation.

...

At this moment, behind Weiwu Hall, the civil and military officials had already arrived early.

Yesterday's battle clearly left them wanting more.

And if they guessed correctly, the position of the crown prince could be decided today. They had to grasp the future direction of the Imperial Dynasty as soon as possible.

The Ninth Prince sat on the viewing platform. His injuries had mostly recovered; after all, as a prince, he naturally had access to sacred medicine.

But some wounds could still be seen on his face, caused by Lin Ye's Sword Qi.

Feeling the pain on his face, a hint of killing intent appeared in the Ninth Prince's eyes.

Damned Lin Ye!

He didn't know what was wrong with that Sword Qi; even after taking sacred medicine, it still hadn't disappeared, and the pain continued to torment him.

If it wasn't for the succession, he absolutely wouldn't have come here to bring humiliation upon himself today.

The civil and military officials dared not mock members of the royal family, but the other princes and princesses had no such scruples, especially since the Ninth Prince had previously taken out that dragon head ring.

It would be a wonder if these people didn't take the opportunity to mock him.

Even the Second Prince had just mocked him right to his face.

"Ninth Brother, Father really values you highly, specifically crafting a Magic Treasure for you. Unfortunately, you are truly disappointing. Even with the blessing of the Imperial Dao Qi, you still lost to Lin Ye, who is much younger than you."

"If, and I mean if, you really became the Martial Saint Emperor, wouldn't that make our Wu Dynasty the laughingstock of the Ten Thousand Domains?"

Hearing the Second Prince say this, the Ninth Prince almost stood up to make a move, but was eventually persuaded by the people from the Lin Family.

Seeing that the impulsive Ninth Prince did not make a move, the Second Prince was a bit surprised. However, when he looked at those members of the Lin Family, there was a hint of deep meaning in his eyes.

Previously, more than a dozen people from the Lin Family had appeared, but now there were fewer than eight here.

It went without saying where the others had gone.

The Second Prince, having guessed where the Lin Family members had gone, curled his lips slightly with a look of disdain on his face.

In his opinion, this Lin Family was clearly made of idiots.

This is the Wu Dynasty, and yesterday the Martial Saint Emperor specifically said that the Lin Family was not allowed to take action against Lin Ye. In this situation, they were actually still going to take action; if this wasn't idiocy, what was?

Do they really think this is the Upper Domain?

...

Princess's Residence.

Because Empress Wu was a bit flustered, she immediately took Wu Mingyue and left the residence to head to the Imperial City.

By the time Lin Ye came out, only one guard remained to wait for him.

"Lin Gongzi, I am responsible for escorting you to the Imperial City. Please follow me."

Having said that, the guard brought out a carriage pulled by an exotic beast. Although it lacked the domineering air of the Martial Saint Emperor's, the exotic beast was a rare sight.

Lin Ye nodded and then boarded the carriage.

At the guard's command, the exotic beast pulling the carriage let out a low roar and then transformed into a stream of light, disappearing in front of the residence.

Sitting in the carriage, Lin Ye looked out the window at the scenery turning into blurs, a hint of vigilance in his eyes.

Ever since he left the residence, he felt as if someone in the shadows was watching him.

That feeling was exceptionally clear; it was definitely not an illusion.

And since he had already reached an agreement with the Martial Saint Emperor, it seemed that the only ones who would take action against him within the Wu Dynasty were the Chang Sheng Lin Family.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye showed a look of disdain.

He didn't expect that the Lin Family was indeed a bit idiotic, planning to take action right in Martial Dao City?

Did this Chang Sheng Lin Family really think they were invincible?

Roar!!!

Just at this moment, the exotic beast pulling the carriage suddenly let out a roar, and the carriage came to a halt in response.
