"Hmm!" After Zhu Yan returned to his residence, a flame burned in front of him, which was a transmission talisman sent by the tenth prince Yang Zhen, asking him to go to the Prince's Mansion at night.

  Zhu Yan heard it, and the tenth prince's voice was very dissatisfied!

  Zhu Yan naturally knew that the tenth prince saw him for what, when Lin Ming openly challenged him at that moment, the scout must have reported the situation in the field to the tenth prince.

  Pulling Lin Ming? What a ridiculous idea!

  Zhu Yan stretched out his hand and turned the still-burning claw into ashes. The Tenth Prince's unfinished words also changed tone, stopping abruptly.

  Zhu Yan poured himself a cup of wine, tilted his head back and drank it down, his eyes turning from calm to icy cold.

  "Is it really just a month left and you all think Lin Ming has already won?"

  ……

  Lin Ming returned to his residence and also received a transmission talisman, which came from both the Tenth Prince and the current Crown Prince's factions.

  The prince's share came from Muye.

  In the transmission symbol, Muyi Road was delighted for a while, and then invited Lin Ming to gather at the Crown Prince's mansion.

  As for the tenth prince, it was said that he wanted to invite Lin Ming to take a look at a villa, and there was also a middle-grade human rank secret book that he wanted Lin Ming to come and see.

  These two sound symbols actually violated the rules of the Seventh Xuanwu Mansion. The mansion stipulated that during school hours, no external forces could disturb the students, and there were special arrays to monitor the incoming sound symbols from outside. However, since it involves the two princes competing for the throne, the mansion would naturally make some adjustments.

  "Two forces, unexpectedly both want to win me over... I have too many enemies now, and my own strength is weak. In the Seven Martial Academy, I am still safe, but if I go out, I may encounter assassination! Although I can fabricate a master, the intangible thing may not have deterrent power. Temporarily joining one force can protect me. Muyi has helped me before, and the prince also helped me once, so owing them a favor is not a bad choice. And this tenth prince seems to be the son of that imperial concubine who gave birth to Zhu Yan... Lin Ming, although he doesn't care about politics, still knows something about the Zhu family's situation. The tenth prince is actually Zhu Yan's cousin, and it was because of this relationship that the Zhu family rose to power and became prominent."

  The tenth prince, on the other hand, Lin Ming cannot join, directly refused!

  As for Mu Yi's face, Lin Ming absolutely wants to give it, but not now...

  "Thank you for the kind invitation from Your Highness, but Lin Ming has already promised a one-month deadline and cannot afford to be late. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it on time. I'll come visit in person after a month."

  In the Crown Prince's East Palace, Mu Yi received Lin Ming's transmission talisman. He stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "Lin Ming said that a month later, he will come to visit."

  "Oh? Lin Ming is really diligent, can't even bear to take a night off?"

  "Your Highness doesn't know, people who practice martial arts value a pure mind. Lin Ming is currently single-mindedly pursuing the ultimate in martial arts, his heart without any distracting thoughts, and his progress is extremely rapid. However, if he were to attend a banquet just once, it's unavoidable that his mental state would be disrupted somewhat. To adjust back, I'm afraid it would take at least a day or two."

  "So that's how it is, no wonder Lin Ming's cultivation has progressed so quickly, his martial heart must be a major reason for it."

  "Not bad, generally speaking, those with weak martial arts hearts easily get caught up in wealth and beauty after achieving some success and being wooed by various powers. Such people rarely become great. However, Lin Ming's strength has progressed quickly, not just because of his martial arts heart, but also because he has a powerful master backing him."

  At first, Lin Ming let Mu Yi keep his identity as a Master of the Inscriptionist's Guild a secret, but he didn't let Mu Yi keep the fact that he had a powerful master a secret.

  In fact, with Lin Ming's current influence, even if he publicly reveals his true identity as a Master of the Scripture, it would not pose any danger to him. On the contrary, it would only increase his bargaining chips. Not to mention that Lin Ming is now under the protection of the Crown Prince and Mu Yi, just being a genius disciple of the Seven Profound Martial House is already a huge deterrent.

  "By the way, who is Lin Ming's master?" The crown prince's eyes suddenly lit up.

  Mu Yi saw the expression on Taizi's face, and clearly understood what he was thinking. He smiled and said: "Your Highness shouldn't pin your hopes on this person. I reckon that senior is at least a Pre-Heavenly Grand Completion, or maybe even beyond that realm. That's an altitude we can't comprehend, so it's impossible for him to intervene in worldly affairs."

  "Beyond Innate!" Yang Lin's heart suddenly shook, "What realm is above Innate?"

  Mu Yi let out a bitter laugh and said: "I don't know either, the path of martial arts, from the beginning of innate talent, for us who are without a school or sect, self-taught warriors, it's already completely a foggy mess, I have no idea how to explore further. What realm comes after innate talent, I'm not clear about that..."

  Yang Lin let out a gentle sigh and said, "Teacher, there's no need to be overly modest. Without any sect or school, achieving such accomplishments is already a remarkable talent. However, I have one thing that I don't understand - if Lin Ming has such a powerful master, why did he still come to the Seven Profound Martial House?"

  Mu Yi said, "I'm also puzzled about this. However, when martial arts reach the Xiantian level, I completely don't understand. Perhaps to cultivate martial arts to a higher realm, one needs to temper their heart in the mortal world, so Lin Ming came to Tianyun City."

  "Hmm, whether or not I can win Lin Ming over, at the very least I want to become friends with him. Next month when Lin Ming comes, I will personally go welcome him and treat him as a honored guest!"

  ……

  "This Lin Ming, actually dared to refuse me!"

  Yun Qinwang Fu's study, the tenth prince Yang Zhen received the transmission symbol sent back by Lin Ming, and his face suddenly sank. "Zhu Yan, you've done a good job, offending such a strong enemy for a woman, you really disappointed me!"

  Zhu Yan stood at the bottom, silent and speechless. When he first snatched Lan Yunyue away, Lin Ming was still a small figure, no matter how he dealt with him, it was easy to do so. Snatching a small figure's woman, what fault could there be? Who would have predicted that Lin Ming would grow into a strong enemy so quickly.

  Of course, he didn't explain and didn't need to explain. Yang Zhen came to him today just to vent his anger. Zhu Yan was very clear that his current status, including the status of the Zhu family, were all obtained because of the tenth prince in front of him. The tenth prince was his master, and he couldn't resist in front of him.

  "I borrowed the power of your Zhu family, wanting you to assist me in ascending to the throne, not to cause trouble! Originally, I had a tenfold grasp on winning over Lin Ming, but now!"

  "Zhu Yan, you follow me to achieve great things! Only fools would sacrifice the country for a woman! That Lan Yunyue, forget about her!"

  The tenth prince said, "Even if I divorce Lan Yunyue, it's impossible to ease the relationship between me and Lin Ming. Do you think Lin Ming will forgive my betrayal and be with Lan Yunyue again? My struggle with Lin Ming originated from Lan Yunyue, but now it has nothing to do with her."

  "You don't need to teach me, I know it all! Lin Ming indeed won't want Lan Yunyue again, but you letting her go is a sign of weakness and apology towards Lin Ming. Only then can we sit down and talk. Only then can I possibly move him with my generous terms! There are no eternal enemies, only eternal benefits. I will choose for him beauties who surpass Lan Yunyue in charm, as obedient as kittens, give him immense wealth and top-grade martial arts, how could he not serve me? What the Crown Prince can offer is nothing compared to what I can!"

  "Let me show weakness to Lin Ming?" Zhu Yan's mouth twitched, his fists also clenched slightly, and it was more unbearable for him to show weakness than to be killed!
