Martial World's
Ch 113 - Decree of the Tenth Prince
…
…
…
At this moment, the Tenth Prince noticed Lan Yunyue. He thought Lan Yunyue was a servant, but after noticing the fine clothes Lan Yunyue was wearing, he realized that she was wrong. "You ... Lan Yunyue?
Lan Yunyue regained her composure and bowed to the Tenth Prince, “Lan Yunyue greeted His Highness the Prince of Clouds. ”
The Tenth Prince looked up and down towards Lan Yunyue. He sneered mockingly and said, “Good! A pitiful and pathetic appearance. No wonder Lin Ming is truly crazy for you. Too bad. If you are still friends with Lin Ming, then I might be able to find you some value in yourself. But now ... seeing you just makes me nauseous. ”
The Tenth Prince spoke mercilessly, ignoring his feelings. Lan Yunyue paled; how could a girl hold back those cruel words being said to her?
"Go!" The Tenth Prince dispersed Lan Yunyue with a wave of his hand.
Lan Yunyue bit her lips as she fought the tears that welled up in her eyes. He bowed, and excused himself.
As Lan Yunyue walked out, the Tenth Prince stepped back. Finally, the only ones left in the room were the Tenth Prince and Zhu Yan.
The Tenth Prince glared at Zhu Yan, and coldly said, "Do you want revenge?"
Zhu Yan remained silent. But the blood dripping onto the ground from the nail that ran through his fist, had already answered the Tenth Prince.
"Very good . You should know that Lin Ming will soon become the core disciple of the Seven Profound Martial House. You also know what the status of the Seven Mound House in the Sky Fortune Kingdom looks like. There is only the thinnest chance that allows you to take revenge!
“But no matter how uncertain your chances are, there will still be opportunities; it is impossible for Lin Ming to stay in the Seven Profound Mound House forever. As long as he got out of there, then there would be a chance to kill him! Your strength is not enough. You will be looking for a suitable powerhouse that can handle it. I'll secretly give you money and treasure. As long as the reward was enough, there would always be some powerhouses roaming around that would be tempted. These wandering masters had never been in the same location, and it was hard to find who they were, even for the Seven Profound Valleys. ”
"But! From an outsider's view, I will sever all contact with you, and the Zhu Family will remove you from the family! Zhu Yan, I hope you can understand my reasoning. Zhu's family is already tied to me. I must inherit the throne; otherwise, not just me, but the entire Zhu Family will suffer total and utter annihilation! "
Zhu Yan's heart was pumping ferociously. To distance himself from the Tenth Prince and even be expelled from the family!
He knew why the Tenth Prince did what he did. Killing Lin Ming had too high a risk! After being discovered by the Seven Profound Martial Houses, then the Tenth Prince and the Zhu Family will be finished!
That's why he broke all ties!
Like this, even if Lin Ming's assassination failed and became known as the Seven Profound Martial House, it had nothing to do with the Tenth Prince and the Zhu Family!
What the Tenth Prince and the Zhu Family were going to do was to show goodwill towards Lin Ming on the surface, while plotting against him. To outsiders, such a ruthless move would only seem like the Tenth Prince and the Zhu Family were making concessions to Lin Ming.
In order to show goodwill towards Lin Ming, a brave warrior had to take his fall, so that Lin Ming would not take the Tenth Prince as his enemy!
It could even be that the Tenth Prince would succeed in winning over Lin Ming from the Crown Prince's side, or at least making it so that Lin Ming did not invest so much in the Crown Prince.
Two branches approach! This is the best plan!
However, his own political future would be ruined! He would lose his family, lose his strength, lose everything he had, and become a wandering avenger without losing anything.
Once he failed, the price would be his life!
But he had no power to make a choice!
The family would not hesitate to sacrifice their son for their own benefit.
"Zhu Yan, it has already reached this point, there is no turning back. It's the only way! I can't just give up and admit defeat because of one Lin Ming. I must continue to fight, and the Zhu Family must take care of itself.
"But Lin Ming was too terrifying. If he becomes the Seven Great Envoy or the Martial House Master, then I don't even have the slightest bit of hope. I must either win over Lin Ming, or remove him from the equation. About your problem, I've spoken to mom and she agrees. Either tomorrow or tonight, you will travel and arrange a murder plan. Hope you don't disappoint me again!
"If you succeed and leave no clue that you are involved, then once I ascend the throne and the situation has stabilized, then I'll give you what you want!"
"Give me what I want?" Zhu Yan sneered in his heart. "Indeed, at that time you will silence me so that you can free yourself from witnesses of your crimes!"
Even trusted subordinates will be eliminated once they are no longer useful, or discarded when they are no longer needed. Moreover, the Tenth Prince's natural tendency was to become overly suspicious and distrustful of anyone. How could he tolerate such danger by his side? Will he have peace eating or sleeping? Killing the core disciples of the Seven Profound Martial Houses? This accusation alone was enough to inflict the punishment of the Seven Profound Valleys on the tenth Prince!
If I fail, I will die!
If I succeed, I will die!
You robbed me of my wealth, destroyed my future, and also wanted to take my life …
Yang Zhen, you are too cruel!
And my dear aunt; you also participated in this idea. To help your son fight for the throne, you have used cruel methods on your nephew. Good Very good!
Fate my Zhu Yan, I will take my own hand!
Zhu Yan's eyes lit up with a cold brightness. At this moment he swore, that all those who had worked against him or offended him would all be killed!
I want strength! I want unlimited power! The power to kill Lin Ming, the power to kill Yang Zhen! To dominate everything and control everyone's life and death!
Zhu Yan's room door slightly opened, leaving a small crack open like the jaws of some ferocious beasts lying to the side. Lan Yunyue couldn't muster up the courage to enter the room, but she couldn't leave either. He could only stand in that empty and empty hall, waiting.
After a quarter of an hour had passed, Zhu Yan finally emerged from the room. Lan Yunyue reflexively stood up.
Zhu Yan turned around and casually threw a piece of paper towards Lan Yunyue. Lan Yunyue subconsciously glanced at him. He was expecting this. It was the contract paper they had signed when they were engaged to each other.
"Torn. "Zhu Yan exclaimed.
"What ... which .. I'm sorry about? Lan Yunyue's hands froze.
“Our engagement is dissolved. From this moment on, I am expelled from the Zhu Family. ”
"Mm ... expelled?" Lan Yunyue was completely shocked. How did this happen?
Zhu Yan said, “When you and I got engaged, the only reason you did so was because of my status, power, influence, and money. Now, I no longer have these things. There is no reason for you to stay with me. This engagement contract is now nothing more than a joke. ”
After Zhu Yan said this, he flicked his finger and the contract in Lan Yunyue's hand was shattered into pieces by true essence.
At that moment, Lan Yunyue's mind frowned. In Sky Fortune Kingdom, it was an embarrassing thing for a girl to get divorced after she got engaged. It will be difficult to get married again. When the rich look for a wife, they will never be satisfied with such a woman. If they did, it would only be a concubine.
"You can go now. "Zhu Yan is completely calm. He turned around and walked away, not giving Lan Yunyue the last look even. His heart was only filled with immeasurable hatred. Zhu Yan in the past had died in that room; how could he possibly think of Lan Yunyue's feelings?
…
When Lan Yunyue came out of the Zhu Family branch complex, she wandered the streets in a daze. It was over. Zhu Yan and he was already completely …
He suddenly discovers that he does not feel the sorrow and sorrow of a young girl left alone. Instead, he felt a kind of peaceful consolation as he sighed.
Along with that torn engagement paper, those sad and exhausting days have come to an end …
The thick autumn night wind is accompanied by moisture, and feels cold when blowing on the body. Sky Fortune City's nightlife was as clear as ever, as excited and light voices filled the air. Among the luxurious brothels and brothels, the flaming red lanterns that hung high in the air, and the lights dimmed, Lan Yunyue could hear the voices of women chatting.
Seeing the noisy world around him, Lan Yunyue suddenly smiled. It was a bitter smile, filled with relief.
He remembered his childhood, when he and Lin Ming would play with bamboo dragonflies in the damp spring grass.
He remembered when they would go in the rain to pick up the little wildflowers together, or step over the slippery river stones and dip their toes into the cold springs. The small fish would appear and bite their toes, giving them an itchy feeling .. because Lin Ming grew up in the restaurant; he knew how to prepare delicious meals in a short period of time. He would catch pheasants, pick up some wild herbs and wild fruits, and bring his own clay pots to cook a variety of delicious meals.
Once when he was sick, he ran a few miles in the rain to fetch clear mountain water so that he could boil nutritious medicinal porridge…
But ...he can no longer go back to that time.
Before he knew it, tears were already streaming down his face.
He's sorry. But what she regretted was not that Lin Ming had become the Sky Fortune Kingdom's most impressive superstar, or that she missed her chance to become the wife of the next state marshal or envoy of the Seven Profound. What he regretted was that he had thrown away that simple and pure happiness only for useless luxuries and empty vanity.
He walked without purpose. Her fragile and attractive body was wrapped in a simple blue long dress. Under the glowing red light of the lantern, he was covered by a misty and lonely shadow. He was like a secluded blue butterfly flying in the cold autumn wind.
He did not wish to return to the Seven Profound Martial Houses. With his talent, he had already lost the support of precious herbs and medicines. In his life, he could no longer achieve high martial arts cultivation.
He did not want to return to Green Mulberry City. He had no face to return to. He doesn't know how to deal with his own parents or how to deal with his neighbors.
Most importantly, she did not want to see Lin Ming again; she did not want to say goodbye to him …
…
Lin Ming was sitting on the carriage pulled by the horses of the Snow Dragon. He really did not know how the fate of Zhu Yan and Lan Yunyue had changed, and how Zhu Yan was truly filled with hatred towards him.
He knew that Zhu Yan's enmity towards him had not been resolved. He also guessed correctly that Zhu Yan would wait for an opportunity to reply in the future. However, he could not kill Zhu Yan. For better or worse, Zhu Yan was also an official disciple of the Seven Profound Martial House. Killing him would challenge the authority of the Martial House.
"Master Lin, please leave. ”A Crown Prince's servant respectfully said when the carriage stopped.
Lin Ming pulled back the curtain of the carriage. He thought that he would meet the Crown Prince in his palace study room. He did not think that they would leave Sky Fortune City and arrive at the base of Mount Zhou. This location was actually not too far away from the Seven Profound Martial House.
As Lin Ming debarked from the carriage, he saw that they were actually stopped in front of a mansion. The house was not luxurious, but the inside was very elegant in its construction. There was a small bridge hanging over the stream and a winding stone corridor. It did not seem like a big house; it was more reminiscent of a garden.
"Haha, Brother Lin, do you like this place?"
"mm?" Lin Ming hesitated a bit. He already had a faint guess as to what Lin wanted to do, and that was to give this residence to him.
If he were to receive this residency, then he would become the personal Crown Prince.
