182. Ling Yao’s Decision
Chang City, South King Mansion.
Ling Yao was handling a large amount of business every day. Mostly military affairs and logistics. The army on the front lines was putting down rebellions, but it was not going smoothly. Therefore, various resources need to be continuously transported to the front lines.
War, like a gold-consuming beast, all the resources are swallowed up. However, there was no sign of any improvement now. It was like a bottomless pit, making Ling Yao feel exhausted.
However, at this time, Ling Yao showed a firm will. She couldn't fall! She now was not just one person anymore. Centered on her, behind her, there were already tens of thousands of people involved.
She was a huge force. If she fell, there would be countless people falling with her. However, she was inherently weak. She also wished someone could help her. At this moment, in her mind, she couldn't help but imagine a figure.
"Will e?"
Ling Yao hadn't received any news from the secret guards. After all, it took time for the secret guards to pass on messages. A breeze blew past. The candlelight in the room flickered slightly.
"Hmm?"
Ling Yao suddenly looked up. She saw that in the room, she didn't know when an additional figure appeared.
"Lin Fei!"
Ling Yao widened her eyes. She even felt like she was hallucinating. However, this familiar figure was now quietly standing in front of her.
"Senior Sister Ling."
Lin Fei spoke. The familiar voice let Ling Yao know this was not a hallucination. It was Lin Fei, he really came! For a moment, Ling Yao was overjoyed. Lin Fei was a Martial Saint famous all over the world. His status had already far surpassed her, a princess.
Ling Yao looked complicated, with a slight smile on her face, "I haven't congratulated you yet, for finally achieving Martial Saint, standing at the pinnacle of martial arts, and achieving your initial goal."
When Lin Fei said he wanted to become a Martial Saint, Ling Yao just shook her head slightly. She didn't believe it at all. But now, Lin Fei was standing in front of her as a Martial Saint. She couldn't help but believe it.
"Yes, the goal I set casually at the beginning has been achieved. But this is far from being the pinnacle of martial arts."
After a pause, Lin Fei looked directly at Ling Yao and said word by word, "Senior Sister Ling, when I left Chang City, I gave you a choice...Now, you should have made a decision. Tell me, what is your decision?"
Ling Yao was taken aback. She of course knew what Lin Fei was talking about. Originally, before Lin Fei left, he gave her a choice.
Martial arts or power!
If she chose martial arts, Lin Fei would help her become an innate martial artist with all his might. But the road after that would have to be taken by Ling Yao herself. If she chose power. Even if she wanted to become an empress, Lin Fei would help her.
The emperor immediately called for the elders.
The emperor seemed to be the supreme figure. But in fact, when it really came to the life and death of the royal family, he couldn't make the decision either. The elders of the royal family must step forward.
Soon, the elders of the royal family came. Among them, there were some "acquaintances" of Lin Fei. At this moment, after these elders of the royal family saw Lin Fei, all of them were taken aback. They immediately stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Greetings, Martial Saint!"
Now, Lin Fei was already a Martial Saint, equivalent to a Foundation Establishment True Person. Even if they were of royal blood. They also had to pay their respects to Lin Fei.
"The current predicament of Great Chang, I have learned about. There is rebellion in the South and even support from the immortals behind it. I can take action, quell the rebellion, and even flatten the immortal sect behind the rebel army! But there are two conditions."
The emperor and the elders were overjoyed. They were now in a mess because of the rebellion in the South. The death of the supreme elder caused the royal family to no longer had the power to suppress those immortal sects.
If they did not suppress it in time, given time, the world would definitely be in turmoil. By then, the royal family would be helpless. But if this Martial Saint, Lin Fei, was willing to make a move, then it must be able to suppress the rebellion!
After all, Lin Fei was the only Martial Saint who could slash the Foundation Establishment True Person with a saber, and the only Martial Saint in Great Chang!
"Martial Saint, if you have any instructions, please feel free to tell."
"First, proclaim Princess Ling Yao as the royal princess, and she will ascend to the throne in the future and become the Empress of Great Chang! Second, the secret collection of royal martial arts needs to be open to me."
The second condition, of course, was not a problem. As for the first condition, in fact, it was just that the emperor was not very willing. But the elders of the royal family didn't care who became the emperor. As long as it is the royal bloodline, there is no problem. Now, the world was in turmoil. The key was to preserve the royal family and protect Great Chang!
"Good, we agree to the conditions of the Martial Saint!"
Lin Fei was not surprised. With these two conditions, the royal family had no choice but to agree.
"Let's go, take me to the place of the royal martial arts secret collection now."
"Yes, Martial Saint."
So, an elder led Lin Fei to the place of the royal martial arts secret collection. Lin Fei walked in alone. He needed a lot of saber techniques to evolve his saber momentum, especially the saber techniques at the innate level.
Lin Fei came to a row of saber technique bookshelves. He closed his eyes. In his mind, he thought of Ling Yao. Today, he helped Ling Yao become the Royal Princess. This was equivalent to severing the emotional bond between him and Ling Yao.
"Shush."
Lin Fei's emotions gradually calmed down.
"Now that the emotional bond is severed, it's time for me to evolve my saber momentum! Let's begin."
Lin Fei's gaze became calm again.
