Chapter 68

Chapter 68

Minister Li, do you think my punishment was justified? Lin Beifan inquired.

Your Majesty, that was a well-deserved punishment! Li Linfu immediately said.

Wherein lies the correctness? Lin Beifan asked again.

Your Majesty, as your humble servant has said before, you are the Son of Heaven. Your commands are the laws of nature, and your will is the will of the people. Only by following Your Majesty can we move towards a glorious future!

And that person has become foolish from too much reading, only knowing how to spout doctrines by the book, using the words of sages to reason, but in truth, its all fallacious. How can the sages compare to a glorious monarch? He was punished and still doesnt recognize his fault, stubborn and unyielding, a rotten wood that cannot be carved!

And Your Majesty, you are magnanimous, merely punishing him with a beating, truly it is a mercy beyond the law!

Lin Beifan, with great pleasure, responded: Well said!

Just then, a pleasant yet teasing voice came from within the imperial palace: Giggle I think its you who are speaking nonsense, turning black into white! A foolish emperor paired with a treacherous minister, what a perfect match indeed!

Subsequently, a beautiful young girl dressed in black appeared before Lin Beifan.

Li Linfu immediately stepped in front of Lin Beifan, trembling and shouting loudly: Protect His Majesty! Protect His MajestyThe source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Theres no need to be nervous, shes one of us!

Lin Beifan waved his hand dismissively: You all may leave now!

Yes, Your Majesty! The crowd dispersed.

Lin Beifan smiled and said: Yaoyao, its been a long time!

Yaoyao sat down on the stool opposite Lin Beifan, casually grabbed an apple from the table, and while happily munching on it, she said: Indeed, its been a long time. Ive missed you quite a bit!

Lin Beifan bashfully lowered his head: What do you miss about me? Is it my body, or is it my quilt?

I miss your shamelessness!

You foolish emperor, cant you think about anything else all day long? Yaoyao said irritably.

Lin Beifan was speechless: If Im a foolish emperor and dont think about these things, what else can I think about?

Yaoyao was at a loss for words because what he said made so much sense.

Shes an Innate master; even if you lure her here, you wont be able to subdue her! Forget it, lets not talk about that. Theres another matter I came here to tell you about!

Yaoyaos expression turned serious: Those noble families are preparing to make a move against you again! Seeing that their previous methods have been ineffective against you for so long, they feel disgraced, so theyve decided to strike once more. You must be careful!

Lin Beifan sighed: Its just killing their people and stealing some goods, and theyre still holding a grudge! For noble families, they sure have small minds!

Actually, it might be more than that!

Yaoyao said earnestly: I suspect they might be coveting the resources in your country! After all, such concentrated and diverse resources, if utilized well, could generate immense value!

Lin Beifan nodded: Thats very likely! Theyre competing with you for resources, can you really afford to stand by idly?

Yaoyao, frustrated and embarrassed, said: If it were before, I could have taken action and killed them all! But now Im being targeted by my nemesis, and its not wise to show myself. There are many things I cant handle, so youll have to deal with it yourself!

Rest assured, no matter what tricks they have up their sleeves, I will face them!

Lin Beifan said calmly. Sooner or later, I will definitely strike at their stronghold and let them know the consequences of offending me!

After finishing the matter, Yaoyao left.

In her words, she couldnt stay in one place for too long. Otherwise, her nemesis would detect something amiss and cause trouble for Lin Beifan.

Lin Beifan became curious. Who exactly could make this fearless enchantress so wary?
