Tianshui Sect Palace
Lin Bai came to the living room and met the five elders of Tianshui Sect.
"Holy Son Lin Bai, you are finally back." After the second elder saw Lin Bai and others coming back, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The battle at Lanting Xiaozhu last night has spread throughout the entire imperial capital. I just heard the rumors and was frightened." I have to break out in cold sweat!"
"Fortunately, you came back safely. If something went wrong, I might not be able to explain it to the sect."
The second elder breathed a sigh of relief with lingering fear, and smiled bitterly at Lin Bai and others.
"Although last night was dangerous, fortunately, my efforts were not in vain, and I got the rewards I deserved." Lin Bai smiled softly and said calmly,
"Has the posthumous child been rescued?" The second elder's eyes showed joy and he asked hurriedly,
Lin Bai nodded and said, "I have left it to Prince Chen to make arrangements. The rest is none of our business."
"His Royal Highness Prince Chen gave me the first credit for rescuing the relic. Qiao Mo, Qin Yao, Fang Yuanshu, and Ye Guyu also made considerable contributions."
"These contributions will naturally be attributed to our Tianshui Sect,"
Lin Bai informed the second elder and the elders of Tianshui Sect about his achievements.
At present, His Highness King Chen cannot give any reward for these achievements. The most he can do is to reward some fairy jade and treasures.
But for Lin Bai and Tianshui Sect, the greatest value of this contribution came after His Highness King Chen ascended the throne.
As long as His Highness King Chen ascends the throne successfully, he will definitely remember the Tianshui Sect's great help in risking his life to rescue his posthumous son.
If His Highness King Chen ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, he will definitely reward the Tianshui Sect for their merits.
These achievements will become the bargaining chips for Tianshui Sect to make a comeback in the future.
"Okay, I will immediately report this matter back to the sect and inform the sect master and ancestors." The second elder showed a happy smile on his face and said excitedly: "If the ancestors learn about this matter, they will definitely be extremely happy. ."
"You have just experienced a life-and-death battle, so go back and rest!"
After Lin Bai and others explained what happened last night, they got up to say goodbye and returned to their respective residences to rest.
Return to your residence.
Before Lin Bai even sat down, the second elder rushed outside Lin Bai's residence and found Lin Bai.
"Lin Bai, Holy Son Chen Yule is here! He and Chen Yun are drinking tea in the living room now."
After the second elder saw Lin Bai, he immediately informed Lin Bai of the arrival of Chen Yule and Chen, and said, "It is estimated that what happened last night spread in the imperial capital, so Chen Yule came to ask about the situation."
Lin Bai nodded and said, "I'll just go and say hello."
After parting ways with the second elder, Lin Bai went to the living room and met Chen Yule and Chen Yun.
Seeing Lin Bai walking into the living room, Chen Yule showed a smile on his face, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Lin, did you have a good time last night?"
"Brother Chen asked knowingly, but my old bones are about to fall apart." Lin Bai smiled bitterly, asked Chen Yule to sit down, and ordered the maid to make tea.
"Brother Lin is very capable. He fought under the nose of the Zhaoxing Division, and even kidnapped the mother and daughter who were still pregnant from the Lanting villa, which is full of masters." Chen Yule's face revealed. The look of admiration, the reward one after another
"Brother Chen got the news so quickly?" Lin Bai was a little surprised
Chen Yule not only knew that Lin Bai led the warriors to fight in Lanting Xiaozhu last night, but also knew all the action plans of Lin Bai and others. He even knew the number of Taiyi Daoguo realm warriors on the battlefield from both sides.
This made Lin Bai a little shocked
It was as if Chen Yule was at the scene at that time
"Brother Lin, outside of the Imperial Capital, the sky is vast and my Chen family cannot control such a vast place. But within the Imperial Capital, the Chen family is also one of the five major families in the Imperial Capital. Any disturbance will not escape the eyes of my Chen family."
"The moment you fought against the warriors in Lanting Xiaozhu, our Chen family had already received the news!
"I'm sorry, Brother Lin. Although I have learned the news, I can't help you easily. Otherwise... it will be difficult for the family to explain to the superiors."
Chen Yule said proudly
Lin Bai smiled softly and nodded slightly. This sentence also made sense.
The Chen family is one of the five major families in the imperial capital. They have worked hard in the imperial capital of Chu for thousands of years, and their eyes and ears are spread all over the imperial capital.
Although Chen Yule learned that Lin Bai was fighting in Lanting Xiaozhu, the Chen family ordered his clan members not to interfere in the fight.
The Chen family knows very well that this battle is between the third prince and His Highness King Chen.
If anyone interferes, it is equivalent to being involved in the struggle for heirs.
Therefore, even if Chen Yule knew that Lin Bai was in a bitter battle, he could not help Lin Bai.
"It doesn't matter. Fortunately, there was no danger," Lin Bai smiled softly, and did not blame Chen Yule for standing by and watching.
Put yourself in someone else's shoes
If Lin Bai were Chen Yule and Chen You's holy son, he wouldn't have helped in the situation last night.
"Brother Lin is fine. We came here today to check on Brother Lin. I feel relieved to know that Brother Lin is fine." Chen Yule said with a smile,
At this time.
A maid came to tell the truth: "Lin Bai Xinzi, there is a warrior coming to visit outside, named Meng Qinxian, who claims to be your friend for many years."
"Brother Meng is here." Lin Bai smiled and glanced at Chen Yule.
"I guess I heard what happened last night, so I came here to check on the situation." Chen Yule said with a smile.
Please come in, Brother Meng." Lin Bai ordered the maid to go and invite Meng Qinxian in.
Not long after
Meng Qinxian walked into the living room at a snail's pace.
"Hahaha, Brother Lin, are you okay? I heard that you had a big fight at Lanting Xiaozhu last night?" Meng Qinxian said as he walked a few steps and came to the living room. He saw Chen Yule there,
"Brother Chen is here too?"
Chen Yule smiled bitterly and said, "Like you, I am worried about Brother Lin's safety, so I came here to take a look."
Lin Bai asked Meng Qinxian to sit down and ordered the maid to serve tea.
Meng Qinxian said: "Brother Lin, why did you go to Lanting Xiaozhu to have a big fight?"
"Unfortunately, I heard at the guild hall that you were having a fight at Lanting Xiaozhu. I wanted to come over to help, but I was stopped by the elders of the sect."
"The elders of the sect said...this is the internal affairs of Chu State, let us not interfere."
"So, I'm sorry, Brother Lin, I can't be of much help,"
Meng Qinxian said with some self-blame,
At Mingyuefang that day, Lin Bai stood up for Meng Qinxian, Chu Shang and others. For this, he was punished by Emperor Chu, and even lost his official position as the swordsman of the Zhaoxing Division.
Meng Qinxian and Nie Shang had always remembered Lin Bai's kindness and had never had a chance to repay it. They wanted to come to help Lin Bai last night, but they were stopped by the sect elders.
"It's best for your Fantian Sect not to get involved. If you get involved, the situation will escalate immediately." Lin Bai smiled.
If the Fantian Sect intervenes, the situation will change immediately.
This is not just a battle for the inheritance, but it is likely to involve a war between the Seven Nights Divine Sect Fuyu and the Chu Kingdom Fuyu.
Therefore, it was a wise move for the elder of Fantian Sect to stop Meng Qinxian.
