379: Chapter 379 Emergency Discussion, Wedding Moved Up

"Go ahead and fall for him, Xuanyin!"

"Whether it's a fake infatuation or a true obsession, it doesn't matter!"

"As long as he ends up with the Lingyuan Empire in the end, it's a massive profit!"

On the surface, Moli pretended to be an innocent little girl just watching the fun, and loudly cheered, "Wow! She admitted it, she admitted it! The dignified King Xuanyin actually has a crush!"

"Lin Yun, you must take responsibility! This is the first time our Xuanyin has felt this way in so many years, you cannot let her down!"

She deliberately raised her voice to play matchmaker, fearing that the two weren't creating enough of a scene, and desperately added fuel to the fire.

King Xuanyin's earlobes heated up from her shouts, but she did not deny it.

She gazed at Lin Yun with persistent eyes, quietly waiting for his response.

Lin Yun looked at the genuine obsession in her eyes.

He then glanced at the little fox, Moli, who was frantically watching the show and scheming in the shadows, and understood everything in his heart.

His expression remained gently smiling, his tone lingering and manipulative; every word was gentle, yet every word was evasive and gave no definite answer.

"It is my honor to be able to make King Xuanyin's heart flutter."

"However, I have heard that Charm Dao Martial Artists are best at acting out affection and are the most adept at confusing hearts."

"Today, your Dao Heart is in disarray, and you have lost your composure repeatedly. If the novelty fades in the future, I fear you will turn around and find today's events absurd and laughable."

His gentle words hid a clear-headed probing and manipulation.

He appeared to be retreating and cautious, but in reality, he was forcing her deeper into the trap step by step, forcing her to prove this feeling to herself.

King Xuanyin's heart tightened. She immediately frowned and softly retorted, her tone carrying a seriousness and stubbornness she hadn't even realized herself:

"I will not."

"I cultivate the Charm Dao and have discerned countless emotions; I can distinguish between true affection and fake bewitchment better than anyone."

"Novelty may fade, but the Dao Heart you disrupted and the emotions you stirred today have already been carved into my Divine Soul; they cannot be erased or dissipated."

She took a half-step forward, her figure light, her purple dress fluttering in the wind.

She completely let go of her arrogance and reserve.

"Lin Yun, give me a chance."

"Let me prove that I am not just acting on a whim."

At this moment, she was the high and mighty King Xuanyin, but also an ordinary woman who had fallen completely in love and was willing to actively pursue it.

Lin Yun gazed at the genuine ripples in her eyes. While his heart remained clear and skeptical, his expression was gently smiling as he spoke slowly, continuing the tug-of-war:

"Very well."

"Then I shall wait and see how long Xuanyin's sincerity can last."

This single agreement held no promise, no definitive answer.

Yet, it provided ample room for ambiguity, completely tethering the bond between the two to their future daily tug-of-war.

Moli, standing nearby, watched with glowing eyes, so excited she almost clapped in approval.

The tug-of-war had begun!

Whether Xuanyin was real or fake, and whether Lin Yun was flirting or acting, this wave was a massive profit for the Lingyuan Empire!

The evening banquet was in full swing.

The powerful figures of the Lingyuan Empire were drinking and toasting, their faces flushed with excitement.

This great victory today was enough to let them hold their heads high for a hundred years.

Throughout the grand hall, everyone was talking about Lin Yun.

They talked about his Space Domain, his Void Barrier, and his earth-shattering feat of defeating ten opponents in a row.

However, King Blood Axe and the other two had no time to enjoy this joy.

King Feiyun held her wine glass, but her gaze kept following the direction of the corridor outside the hall.

Ziyi stood by her side, her expression equally grave.

King Blood Axe sat beside the main seat, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest—once, twice, thrice.

Just a moment ago, they had all seen it.

They saw King Xuanyin go to find Lin Yun alone.

They saw those two overlapping figures in the moonlit corridor.

They saw how their auras were entangled and their distance ambiguous.

Although they were far away and could not hear what was said, that scene was enough to make the three of them sit on pins and needles.

King Blood Axe used his Divine Thought to transmit his voice:

"That woman knows how to bewitch people too well. If she really lures Lin Yun to the Tianlang Empire..."

King Feiyun replied:

"Lin Yun's Heart-Nature is resilient; he shouldn't be easily swayed."

"But you know King Xuanyin's methods."

"If she is determined to poach someone, she will use any trick in the book."

Ziyi chimed in, her tone full of worry:

"I am not afraid that Lin Yun will be seduced; I am afraid that if time passes and she pesters him day and night, using soft tactics, how can a young man resist?"

The three exchanged glances and saw the same anxiety in each other's eyes.

King Blood Axe rose abruptly:

"Let's go, find King Leiyin."

King Feiyun and Ziyi also rose at the same time and followed him out of the grand hall.

Royal rest area.

King Leiyin was sitting on a grand armchair in the side hall, holding a cup of spirit tea in his hand, his face still wearing the joy from the day.

Seeing the three of them walk in hurriedly, he was somewhat surprised.

"What is it? Did something happen at the banquet?"

King Blood Axe dispensed with the pleasantries and spoke directly:

"Old Lei, can the wedding of Fei Xue and Feiying be brought forward?"

King Leiyin was stunned:

"Didn't we agree on after the tournament? It only just finished today, why the sudden..."

"King Xuanyin has set her sights on Lin Yun."

King Feiyun took over, her tone serious.

"Just now, she sought out Lin Yun alone in the corridor, lowering her posture significantly and making all sorts of promises."

"If you really let her poach him, your two granddaughters' wedding will be ruined."

King Leiyin's expression changed instantly.

He put down his teacup, his brows furrowed:

"That woman, King Xuanyin... is indeed formidable."

"She is devastatingly beautiful and possesses clever methods."

"Although Lin Yun's Heart-Nature is steady, he is young after all. What if he gets bewitched by her..."

"That is why we came to consult with you," said King Blood Axe.

"We must finalize the marriage quickly."

"As long as Fei Xue and Feiying are married to him properly, Lin Yun will become a son-in-law of the Lingyuan Empire."

"With this relationship, no matter how much King Xuanyin tries to flirt with him, he will not be easily swayed."

King Leiyin pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

He laughed heartily, happily, his eyes crinkling.

"I was wondering what you came here for," he said, clapping his hands.

"Moving the wedding up? That's a great idea! I'd love nothing more!"

King Blood Axe and the others looked at each other in dismay:

"You... would love nothing more?"

"Of course!" King Leiyin slapped the armrest.

"My two precious granddaughters have peerless talent, top-tier beauty, and possess the Light Sacred Body and Dark Sacred Body."

"Matching them with Lin Yun is a perfect union of talent and beauty, a match made in heaven!"

"I have long looked forward to them getting married sooner!"

"If it weren't for the Friendship Tournament, I would have wanted to hold the wedding before the competition!"

Getting carried away, he stood up and paced back and forth:

"One month is too long; there are too many variables."

"Three days! We will hold the wedding in three days!"

King Blood Axe looked at his eager appearance and couldn't help but laugh:

"You just said it should be held after the tournament, and now you are more anxious than we are."

King Leiyin said righteously:

"That was then, this is now! King Xuanyin has already come knocking at our door, how can I not be anxious?"

"What if someone poaches my two precious granddaughters? Who would I go to for justice then?"

King Feiyun also laughed:

"Then it is settled. In three days, the wedding."

King Leiyin nodded:

"I will have people prepare immediately. I will go talk to Fei Xue and Feiying."

Ziyi spoke up at the right moment:

"I will go notify Lin Yun."

King Blood Axe said:

"Doesn't King Xuanyin want to poach him? Perfect, let her see for herself that Lin Yun is already a son-in-law of the Lingyuan Empire."

King Feiyun raised an eyebrow:

"You mean, announce it publicly?"

"Publicly," King Blood Axe laughed.

"The more people who know, the better. Let King Xuanyin know that Lin Yun is undoubtedly a person of the Lingyuan Empire."

King Leiyin clapped his hands:

"Brilliant! Let's do it!"
