"Mother! I'm here! "
Lin Zhen walked out of the forest. In this life, the only people he cared about the most were his parents, Lin Xia and Yue Qingqing.
Although they were only temporary parents in this life, they had given him all their love. Lin Zhen couldn't let them down.
Lin Zhen couldn't bear to see Yue Qingqing anxious, so he walked out.
"Fan 'er, son! You're finally back. "
Yue Qingqing ran over excitedly and hugged Lin Fan, calling him her darling. This made Lin Zhen feel extremely awkward.
Kong Qianqian was beside his mother.
Yue Qingqing looked at Kong Qianqian and couldn't help but complain, "Qianqian, why didn't you take good care of Lin Fan? He almost didn't make it out of there. "
Kong Qianqian looked at Lin Zhen with a hint of mockery, "I'll take good care of him in the future."
Everyone returned.
The second day after they returned home, rumors began to spread in the capital.
First of all, some people questioned the poisonous parts Lin Zhen brought out. After investigation, those things were only possessed by Star Realm demonic beasts. There were no Star Realm demonic beasts in the hunting grounds.
Then, some people said that Lin Fan's parents spoiled him too much, causing him to be ignorant and incompetent. This time, Zi Ying from the Fairy Goddess Empire must have helped him cheat.
Then, some people said that Lin Zhen's graduation exam results didn't count. They even said that he didn't have the qualifications to inherit the throne.
When these words reached Lin Zhen's ears, he only smiled.
Someone was trying to build momentum, and their goal was to take the throne.
Lin Zhen didn't care, but his family couldn't. Lin Xia and Yue Qingqing were a little anxious.
They needed a marriage alliance to strengthen their position. Protecting Lin Fan was the most important thing. It seemed impossible for him to live an ordinary life.
The marriage alliance with the prime minister's residence was the best opportunity.
Lin Xia hurried to the prime minister's residence, hoping to get engaged.
Fortunately, Prime Minister Kong Fang did not refuse. Instead, he agreed to hold the engagement ceremony on the tenth day.
The news quickly spread in the capital. Some people who looked down on the Wangfu immediately fell over like grass on the top of the wall. The Wangfu's side instantly exploded.
Since the Prime Minister had agreed to the marriage, then that idiot Little Prince Lin Fan would probably have no problem inheriting the title of Prince Equal to the Emperor.
*****
Preparations were made in the Prince's Mansion, decorating the streets with lanterns and decorations.
The little prince's engagement was a major event that had to be arranged in a grand manner.
Soon, there was news that His Majesty would personally attend the engagement ceremony, which added a lot of popularity to this place.
Everyone's face was filled with joy as they waited for the engagement banquet that would be held ten days later.

In the palace, Lin Zhigao was listening to the report.
"We failed … Zi Ying has come out of the valley."
"Those poisonous creatures were all killed, and the summoner who was hired with a lot of money also died an unnatural death. Only a little bit of blood was left, and after testing, it was confirmed that it was that person …"
"Lin Fan went missing for a while, and finally came out with Zi Ying. The remains of the poisonous creatures that he took out should have come from Zi Ying."
Lin Zhigao frowned as he read the news one by one on his desk.
This matter made him somewhat unable to see through.
Lin Zhigao had basically investigated Zi Ying's background.
According to the feedback from the Dimensional Universe, Emperor Zi Qianxia had gone missing more than a month ago.
It was during that time that Zi Ying had come here.
The person who gave Lin Zhigao the feedback was a Prime Minister from the Fairy Empire.
This person was called Lin Yunfei, and he was also Lin Zhigao's great-uncle.
Strictly speaking, Lin Zhigao was a descendant of Lin An's branch, while Lin Yunfei was a descendant of Lin Ping's branch.
Lin Yunfei told Lin Zhigao that Zi Ying was the form that Zi Qianxia took after cultivating a technique that allowed her to regain her youth.
If Zi Ying could successfully grow up, then she could become a Divine King in the future!
To the people of the New Territories, becoming a Divine King was an unattainable title. Lin Yunfei did not want Zi Qianxia to succeed.
If Zi Qianxia died, then Lin Yunfei could inherit the Fairy Empire in the name of the Lin Family and become the ruler of the empire.
Lin Yunfei meant that as long as Lin Zhigao prevented Zi Ying from leaving Planet Wanghai, then he would take over the throne in the future and let Lin Zhigao become the Overlord of this galaxy!
Just like the Divine Ancestor Lin Zhen, the Sun Overlord!
To achieve this goal, Lin Zhigao had paid a huge price. He had hired an interstellar pirate to bring five Star Realm poisonous creatures to Emerald Peak Valley to ambush him.
He originally had two targets. One was Zi Ying, and the other was Lin Fan.
As the descendant of the Emperor, Lin Fan was the only person who could threaten his throne. Moreover, he could not see through Lin Fan. He always felt that leaving him alive would be a hidden danger, so he wanted to get rid of him as well.
However, something had gone wrong. The Meteor Stage manipulator and the five poisonous creatures had been killed by someone. It was very likely that Zi Ying had someone protecting her from behind.
Moreover, Lin Fan had mysteriously disappeared before. All of this made him feel that things were not under his control.
"Your Majesty, I think we should follow the original plan. After all, Lin Fan's engagement is coming soon. However, we may not have enough power at the moment." His confidant suggested.
Lin Zhigao nodded slightly. This was what he was most worried about.
"It seems that we can only ask for help. I will inform Granduncle immediately. We need help here!"
Lin Zhigao's face showed a ruthless expression. "Since there are some things that cannot be seen through, then there is no need to. After all, this is the New Territories. It is the Lin Family's world. As long as the Lin Family is determined to do something, no one can stop them!"
*****
The engagement ceremony in Da Hua was more grand than the wedding ceremonies in other places.
On the contrary, the wedding ceremony was more low-key. Relatives and friends only congratulated them slightly before announcing the marriage. The engagement ceremony was the most grand.
A group of knights made up of War Gods rode on fiery-red ferghana horses. They wore flame-like red armor and huge red cloaks. There was a golden phoenix feather on their heads. They held seven-meter long dragon spears and pointed them at the sky. They were valiant as they passed through the streets.
This was the royal guard of honor. Now, the Emperor's Equal had borrowed it.
After the group of knights, two winged white horses pulled a gorgeous carriage.
All kinds of gems were hung in front of the carriage. It was extremely magnificent.
The coachman swung the dragon tendon whip and made a sound in the air. Then, the drum team behind began to play music.
On the huge flatbed carriage, the band performed to their heart's content. In the sky, there were spirit readers flying on flying swords. They held long ribbons in their hands. It was like a rainbow crossing the sky. It was clearly visible from hundreds of miles away.
Kong Qianqian had already boarded the carriage and followed the group to the Emperor's Equal's Palace.
There were some children running behind the carriage. Some people specially threw wedding candies and even red packets.
This was a grand event in the capital. Countless people went to the Emperor's Palace to watch the ceremony and witness this happy moment.
