70. The Identity of Ling Yao

70. The Identity of Ling Yao

Ling Yao and several female disciples looked at Lin Fei curiously, wondering what he was going to do.

However, when Lin Fei gently pressed his hand on the stone table, there was a soft sound, then his hand lifted away from the table.

"This is..." Ling Yao's pupils suddenly shrank as she and the other three female disciples stared at the stone table, which had a palm print that was three inches deep!

Every martial artist present could break the stone table, but leaving a palm print three inches deep without breaking it was not something that anyone could do. It required extremely profound inner power and precise control.

"Lin Fei, did you break through to the acquired realm?" Ling Yao asked in surprise.

"Yes, I just broke through to the acquired realm two months ago," Lin Fei nodded and replied.

Ling Yao was surprised. She knew Lin Fei's background better than anyone else. In just a few months, Lin Fei had risen from the fourth level of Body Refining to the acquired realm. This speed of cultivation was unbelievable.

"Senior Sister Ling, can you tell me what's troubling you? Can you be specific?" Lin Fei asked. He wanted to help Ling Yao, so he needed to know the whole story.

Ling Yao nodded and said, "Of course. Actually, many people know the general idea of what happened.

I am the daughter of the South King of the Great Chang Dynasty. However, my mother was just a maid in the palace.

The South King had a one-night stand with my mother after drinking, which resulted in me.

I grew up in the palace, but my mother didn't have much status, even though she gave birth to me.

Later, my mother sent me to the Nine Profound Sect to learn martial arts through some connections.

Great Chang Dynasty is a country that values martial arts. Therefore, members of the royal family are also respected for their martial skills.

No matter whether one is the son or daughter of the South King, it still has to compete with others for the position of the crown prince or princess.

Even though I don't have a good background, I can still participate in the competition.

Every son and daughter of the South King can participate in the competition once. If successful, they will become the crown prince or princess and inherit the throne after the South King's death!

As for the age limit to participate in the competition, it must be before the age of eighteen at the latest.

I will be turning eighteen soon. So, I cannot delay any further and can only go for the position of the princess.

During the competition, it is allowed to invite some martial artists to help, but they must be martial artists that you have befriended.

So, I plan to invite some friends from the Nine Profound Sect to help me win the position of princess.

Once successful, not only will each person receive 500,000 contribution points that can be redeemed, but the princess can also participate in some sparring and competition among members of the royal family of the Great Chang Dynasty.

Everyone shook their heads. They all had strong inner power, but they couldn't reach Lin Fei's level.

"There's one type of martial artist you've forgotten," Ling Yao said. "The three-in-one inner power! Only with it can one's inner power become so strong in just a few months."

"What, the three-in-one inner power?"

"That's the real innate seed!"

"Even Senior Brother Chu's potential is inferior to a genius with three-in-one inner power!"

"If it's really the three-in-one inner power, Senior Sister Ling, you must make sure to keep Senior Brother Lin. He could be the future innate strong."

"Yes, Brother Lin is loyal and trustworthy. He's willing to help you in such a dangerous mission. And he's highly likely to become the future innate strong. It's not easy to find someone like him."

...

Ling Yao watched as Lin Fei's figure gradually disappeared, and her gaze became more complicated.

Early the next morning, Lin Fei arrived at Ling Yao's yard.

The other three female disciples also arrived early.

"Senior Sisters and Junior Brother, let's go!"

Ling Yao didn't say anything unnecessary. Those who could help her were those who had already made up their minds. They didn't need any polite words.

The group of five quickly mounted their horses and arrived outside the mountain gate.

"Senior Sister Ling, is that Senior Brother Chu standing on the mountain behind us?" One of the female disciples suddenly called out to Ling Yao.

Ling Yao looked back and saw a tall man standing on the mountaintop, his gaze fixed on them.

"Senior Brother Chu..."

Ling Yao naturally recognized him, but what did it mean for him to watch her from the mountaintop at this time?

He never came out to help her.

Lin Yao glanced at Senior Brother Chu, who was on the hill, and then at Lin Fei, who had a calm expression on his face. It was obvious who was superior.

"Let's go!" Ling Yao gritted her teeth.

She mounted her horse and quickly left Nine Profound Sect, leaving a trail of dust.
