It was during the time when the great hall was pushing cups and drinking.
On the other side, inside a bedchamber of the royal palace.
Mo Qing was sitting inside the hall, and there were even a number of strong guards inside and outside the room, keeping a tight vigil.
“Just because I’m a woman, even if I’m several times better and stronger than the Crown Prince, so what? It’s just to be used as a tool and taken to be married, even freedom can’t be given to me ……” Mo Qing couldn’t stop the tears from sliding down in her beautiful eyes.
Her mother was only a concubine, plus she was a woman, so she was not valued since she was a child, so she worked very hard in order to be valued, she wanted to rely on her own strength and prove herself.
But in the end, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t resist, the gender difference.
Even the most basic freedom, she could not have.
At this time, in her mind, she remembered what her father had said to him.
“Mo Qing, this marriage of yours, is not only your matter, it is a major event for the entire An Yuan Kingdom, in the past thousand years, the kingdom’s old batch of strong men died, but the newly trained strong men can’t afford to pick up the slack, the green and yellow can’t catch up, and the An Yuan Kingdom is gradually declining, therefore, our An Yuan Kingdom, must marry with the Northern Liang Kingdom!”
“You are the daughter of the royal family, enjoying the top resources of the royal family since you were a child, what resources are lacking, someone will find them for you, good secret books, weapons, you don’t have to worry about them, since you were a child, you can get one-on-one guidance from a strong person, the spirit crystals needed for cultivation, all as much as they are offered, you don’t have to distract yourself from thinking about this at all, and just focus on your cultivation.”
“All of this, so that your cultivation path, incomparably flat, all of this, is the payment of the royal family, you enjoy all the benefits of the royal family, you have to bear the due responsibility, is it that you only think of getting, and do not want to contribute to the royal family? Where in the world is such a good thing!”
Under King An Yuan’s words, Mo Qing was ultimately speechless and could only nod his head.
……
Sitting in her room, in her mind, a young figure suddenly flashed out.
He, really, was Lin Yun ……
“Senior Sister Mo Qing!”
The Lin Yun in her mind seemed to be greeting her with a humble and coy smile.
“Lin Yun, where are you now? Are you still safe and sound? Are you …… alive or dead ……,” Mo Qing’s beautiful eyes, which were red from crying, looked out the window.
To say that attachment, this was perhaps the last attachment in Mo Qing’s heart.
When Lin Yun fought outside the Heavenly Sword Sect, at that time, Mo Qing happened to be away from the Heavenly Sword Sect, so she didn’t witness the battle at that time, and it was only after returning to the Heavenly Sword Sect later on that she learnt about that incident.
When Mo Qing learnt about it, she was both shocked by Lin Yun’s strength in seriously injuring a second-stage Empyrean Realm, and also rushed into deep worry for Lin Yun.
She knew that the Ancient Family would hunt down Lin Yun!
Since then, Lin Yun had heard nothing, as if he had evaporated.
Where Lin Yun was now, and whether he was alive or dead, she wanted to know, but she didn’t know anything about it, and it was as if the person ‘Lin Yun’ had been detached from her world forever.
……
On the other hand, the banquet in the grand hall didn’t end until late at night.
“Vice Commander Qiu, you go and rest first, there are people to arrange for your accommodation, Commander Bei, you stay for a while, this king would like to talk to you alone about the specific arrangements for tomorrow.”King An Yuan said.
Immediately afterwards, King An Yuan had the slaves and guards in the hall, all of them, retreat.
Only Lin Yun and King An Yuan were left in the great hall.
The entire great hall was frighteningly quiet.
King An Yuan stood up from his throne and walked down slowly.
In the blink of an eye, King An Yuan walked up to Lin Yun.
“Great King, if there’s any arrangement, you can just say so, there’s no need to bother coming down personally.”Lin Yun said.
With his hands behind his back, King An Yuan stared at Lin Yun and laughed, “Northern Commander, should this king call you Northern Commander, or should he call you Lin Yun, a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect?”
Lin Yun’s heart snapped after hearing this.
However, on the surface, Lin Yun tried to remain as calm as possible.
“Great King, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”Lin Yun replied.
“This king even called out your name, do you think that there’s any point in hiding or deceiving?”King An Yuan said slowly.
Lin Yun took a breath, “Alright, I am none other than Lin Yun, since the great king recognised me and left me behind, I don’t know what the great king wants to talk to me about, it can’t be purely and simply that he wants to dismantle my identity to my face, can it?”
Although Lin Yun very much didn’t want to expose his identity, since King An Yuan had already recognised himself, Lin Yun had to face this fact.
“Kid, do you know that the Heavenly Sword Sect and the Ancient Family, are both looking for you right now, and both are offering heavy bounties, all the King needs to do is to detain you and hand you over to either party, and the King will be able to get a good haul, and you’re still so blasé about it? How dare you not be half panicked?”King An Yuan stared at Lin Yun.
King An Yuan originally thought that after he had dismantled Lin Yun’s identity, Lin Yun would be in a state of panic, fear, and at a loss for words.
However, Lin Yun was surprisingly calm, at peace and unchanged, which caused King An Yuan to be somewhat surprised inwardly.
“What is there to panic about? And what is there to fear? I’m certain that even if the Great King recognises my identity, he won’t detain me!”Lin Yun wore a smile as if nothing had happened.
“Oh? Where did you get such confidence?”King An Yuan stood with his hands in the air and sneered.
“If Your Majesty detains me and hands me over to the Heavenly Sword Sect, then you will be considered to have offended the Ancient Family, and if Your Majesty hands me over to the Ancient Family, then you will inevitably be at war with the Heavenly Sword Sect, your country is closer to the Heavenly Sword Sect and has a cooperative relationship, so if you are remembered by the Heavenly Sword Sect, it will likewise be very troublesome, and if you notify inform the two of them, and they learn that you did so, then you will have offended both, and in the end, it iseating the hard way.”Lin Yun said.
With a smile on his face, Lin Yun continued, “Great King, as the King of the An Yuan Kingdom, is not a loner, there are many things to be concerned about, these two forces, you don’t want to offend anyone, much less both at the same time.”
A loner like Lin Yun had no ties in the Cultivation Continent, even if he messed with a big power, all he had to do was think of a way to hide, and as long as he kept himself safe, he didn’t have to worry about anything else.
The barefoot ones were not afraid of the ones wearing shoes.
However, this type of power in the An Yuan Kingdom was definitely unwilling to easily offend any major power.
“Kid, it seems …… that this king underestimated you.”King An Yuan looked at Lin Yun with a complicated expression.
He didn’t think that Lin Yun could be so sophisticated at such a young age.
Lin Yun calmly said, “The Great King won’t hand me over, to these two forces, but, the Great King left me alone and broke me down face to face, I think for sure the Great King must have his own plans as he wishes, so please make it clear, so don’t go round in circles to intimidate me first.”
The first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a good deal of money, and then you’ll be able to get your hands on a good deal of money, and then you’ll be able to get your hands on a good deal of money.
