Chen Sixuan shook her head gently and said, "There's no need for that, Brother Qianyu. I'm willing to do this. After I met Ji Dong, I realized that we were just siblings. I can't go against my heart. I fell in love with Ji Dong at first sight, and this will never change. I know this will hurt you, but I don't want to lie to you. The person I love is Ji Dong. Brother Qianyu, you're a good man, but I really can't be with you."
Lin Qianyu's expression gradually changed. His elegant temperament suddenly became cold. His entire body was emitting a layer of strong green light, which was the effect of the Elemental Body. He had yet to release his Yin Yang Crown, but he was able to display the power of the Elemental Body under such circumstances. It was obvious how powerful he was.
With one step, Lin Qianyu had already walked into the corridor in the center of the lake. The entire corridor trembled slightly because of his step, giving off a deep, muffled sound.
It was as if he was grabbing people's hearts. The faces of the servants nearby turned pale. Of course, they knew who Lin Qianyu was, so they didn't dare to stop him. However, it was their Princess on the other side!
Chen Sixuan shook her head helplessly. Actually, she didn't want to hurt Lin Qianyu. She even felt a little guilty towards him. If the previous Chen Sixuan had not drowned, they would have gotten married. Unfortunately, the current Chen Sixuan was already in the Flaming Bar. How could she marry anyone other than Ji Dong?
Chen Sixuan let go of Ji Dong's hand and took a step forward. She was about to stand in front of Ji Dong. Judging from Lin Qianyu's current appearance, it was obvious that this matter couldn't be resolved peacefully.
At this moment, a big hand appeared on Chen Sixuan's shoulder. Ji Dong's voice rang in her ears, "Sixuan, let me handle this. This is a matter between men." As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Sixuan's body was transferred to his back.
Lin Qianyu walked towards them step by step. With every step he took, his aura would increase a little bit. However, what made Ji Dong nod secretly was that with the increase of his aura, the anger in Lin Qianyu's eyes gradually decreased. Facing his rival in love who had stolen his wife, Lin Qianyu was able to calm himself down when he was about to enter a real battle. This was not something an ordinary genius could do.
Ji Dong was still standing there, letting Lin Qianyu's aura grow stronger and stronger. The distance between the two of them was getting shorter and shorter. If Lin Qianyu's aura was like a stormy sea, then Ji Dong was like a towering mountain that could stop the huge waves. No matter how strong the wind and waves were, they would disappear into the five elements when they got close to him, and would not affect Chen Sixuan who was behind him at all.
"Why did you steal my Sixuan?" Lin Qianyu's eyes were fixed on Ji Dong's eyes. His spiritual aura and the aura he released were perfectly combined, and he kept attacking Hyōhime.
Ji Dong said lightly, "Two people love each other. Love can't be forced."
At this moment, Lin Qianyu was five meters away from Ji Dong and he stopped. This distance was the best distance for a Devil Master to attack. Lin Qianyu said, "Sixuan and I grew up together. We are childhood sweethearts, and we are truly in love with each other. You have an ordinary appearance. Do you think you can steal Sixuan's love for me with your strange white hair?"
Ji Dong gazed at him and said, "Love is not determined by time. For those who are fated, even if it is the first time they meet, they can fall in love at first sight. For those who are not fated, even if they live together for decades, they can only be ordinary friends. Si Xuan has already made it very clear that she sees you as a brother."
Lin Qianyu took a deep breath. At this moment, the surrounding plants seemed to have sensed the rhythm of his breathing. They actually moved along with his breath. The life aura released by these plants was absorbed into his body like a whale sucking in water. It was obvious that this was a special wood-based technique. In an instant, the magical wave released by Lin Qianyu's body increased by a few notches.
"Brother Lin, please wait." Just at this moment, a loud shout sounded, and a figure flew to Lin Qianyu's side and grabbed his shoulder.
It was none other than Chen Sheng, the crown prince of Dongmu Empire and the eldest brother of Chen Sixuan.
Lin Qianyu did not look at him and said, "Your Highness, please don't stop me. I must fight with this man. He took my Sixuan away."
Chen Sheng smiled bitterly and said, "Qianyu, this is the imperial palace after all. Don't fight. Father already knows that Sixuan is back, and he asked me to take her to see him. Sigh, this matter should be decided by the elders. Qianyu, let's go together. Don't worry, we will definitely give you an explanation."
Lin Qianyu glanced at Ji Dong coldly. The next moment, the huge pressure he released disappeared without a trace. He snorted angrily and turned around to leave.
Chen Sheng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that Lin Qianyu didn't make a move in the end, and then he gestured to Chen Sixuan and said, "Little Sister, quickly come with me. Alas, you've really caused great trouble this time. Oh, you should come along as well." The last sentence was said to Ji Dong. However, the crown prince was obviously not happy with the brother-in-law his sister brought back. Chen Sixuan held Ji Dong's hand and shook it slightly. Their souls were connected.
Ji Dong said to Yu through the soul connection, "Don't worry. Since I have promised you, I will definitely help you."
After a while, Ji Dong and Chen Sixuan arrived at the Jia Yi Palace in the center of the imperial palace under Chen Sheng's lead. This Jia Yi Palace was obviously named after the eastern Jia Yi Wood. Jia Yi Palace was the place where the emperor of Dongmu Empire attended court, and Yi Palace was the place where the emperor discussed business, which was equivalent to the emperor's study.
The place where Chen Sheng brought Ji Dong and Chen Sixuan to was the Yi Palace.
As for the luxurious palace, Ji Dong was not in the mood to appreciate it. When they walked into the Yi Palace, he found that there were already many people here.
Chen Sixuan wanted to let go of Ji Dong's hand. After all, she was about to meet her father, so she had to restrain herself a little. However, Ji Dong held her hand tightly, not letting her let go. At the same time, he sent her a message that he would take care of everything.
Although the Yi Palace was not as big as the Jia Yi Palace, it was enough to accommodate the emperor and dozens of officials to discuss business. At this moment, in the main seat of the Yi Palace, an old man in his sixties, wearing a dragon robe embroidered with a green dragon, was sitting there. He was the emperor of Dongmu Empire, Chen Xiaofeng. On the left side of him sat a middle-aged couple of about five years old, and Lin Qianyu, whom Ji Dong had just met. On the other side sat two people. One was a woman wearing a palace dress. She was sitting next to Chen Xiaofeng. From her dress, it could be seen that she was the empress of the Dongmu Empire. If they were discussing military affairs, this empress was obviously not suitable to appear here. However, at this moment, they were dealing with her daughter's marriage, so her participation was very reasonable.
Chen Sixuan and the Crown Prince, Chen Sheng, were both born by this Empress. Chen Xiaofeng invited the Empress, naturally, to make his daughter restrain herself in the process of discussing the marriage. It could be considered as a painstaking effort.
There was another person sitting in the main seat next to the empress. Judging from his age, he seemed to be in his fifties. His appearance was somewhat similar to the emperor. He had a dignified bearing and was dressed luxuriously, like a prince.
Seeing this person, Ji Dong couldn't help but think of a person. When he and Flaming Bar saved the entire Forest Demon Tribe, the person they faced was Prince Tianlu of Dongmu Empire. Could it be that this was Prince Tianlu, who controlled the third chamber of commerce in the continent, the Golden Eagle Chamber of Commerce? Ji Dong didn't have a good impression of this person at all.
"Greetings, father and mother." Chen Sheng and Chen Sixuan knelt on the ground together and saluted.
Only Ji Dong was still standing there. He only let go of Chen Sixuan's hand, but he didn't have any intention of kneeling down to greet them.
The emperor and his wife's eyes fell on their daughter. Their eyes were a little excited. They hadn't seen their daughter for almost two years. How could they not miss her? She was the apple of their eye. It could be said that no one in the entire Dongmu Empire could be compared to Chen Sixuan, the Saint of Dongmu Empire.
"Stand up." Seeing his daughter, although Ji Dong was in a bad mood, Chen Xiaofeng couldn't help but control his emotions. This troublesome matter in front of him had to be solved first.
As he spoke, his eyes had already turned to Ji Dong. Looking at Ji Dong's head of white hair, the expression in his eyes slightly changed. He said: "Who are you? Why did you come with my son? Why didn't you kneel when you saw me?"
The emperor had the majesty and oppressiveness of the royal family. If it was someone else, although Chen Xiaofeng seemed to be asking a question calmly, it would make people not dare to look at him directly. However, Ji Dong acted as if nothing had happened. He slightly bowed and said: "Greetings, Your Majesty, Her Highness."
Chen Xiaofeng fiercely slammed the table and said: "How dare you! Seeing me, you only salute like this?"
With both hands behind his back, Ji Dong indifferently smiled and said: "This is enough, because you are Sixuan's parents." The implication was that if the emperor and empress in front of him weren't because of his relationship with Chen Sixuan, he wouldn't even do this simple salute.
What a proud brat. Chen Xiaofeng slammed the table in a threatening manner, absolutely not to make things difficult for Ji Dong, but rather for the people next to him to see. At this moment, seeing Ji Dong standing there so proudly, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Regarding his daughter's eyesight, Chen Xiaofeng was still very confident. Such a strange white-haired and youthful person who looked even more arrogant than himself, just what was his background? It seemed that this matter really couldn't be handled carelessly. Otherwise, it would very easily bring trouble to the Empire.
At this moment, Chen Sixuan had already stood up and stood at Ji Dong's side. Without waiting for Chen Xiaofeng to open his mouth again, she hastily said: "Father, he is called Ji Dong, my teacher at Blazing Academy and also your son's lover."
"Teacher? How old is he? Can he still be a teacher? " Sitting at the side, that fifty year old man in prince attire opened his mouth. Chen Sixuan quickly introduced him to Hyōhime through the soul fusion. Just as Ji Dong guessed, this person was prince Tianlu.
Chen Sixuan's little mouth slightly pouted, saying: "Ambition doesn't depend on age, Ji Dong is the most outstanding teacher at Blazing Academy."
"Enough, Your Majesty, I think we don't need to get entangled in these matters. Regarding Qianyu and Sixuan's marriage, what does Your Majesty have to say?" The middle-aged man sitting at Chen Xiaofeng's left opened his mouth. His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached everyone's ears. His gaze swept over Ji Dong indifferently, not revealing any imposing manner. But when he opened his mouth, he naturally became the focus of everyone present.
Chen Xiaofeng frowned slightly, saying: "Don't be impatient, worthy brother. We will definitely give you an explanation on this matter. Sixuan, tell us, what's going on between you and this young man called Ji Dong?" While speaking, he secretly gave his daughter a meaningful glance.
However, Chen Sixuan acted as if she didn't see her father's gaze, slightly bowing towards the couple, saying: "Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, Sixuan greets you."
The woman called aunt by Chen Sixuan coldly snorted, saying: "We don't deserve it, Your Highness. Let's first explain the matter clearly."
Chen Sixuan's voice immediately resounded in Ji Dong's mind. Through Chen Sixuan's introduction, he knew that this couple was Lin Qianyu's parents. The middle-aged man was called Lin Baichuan, and his wife was called Lin Luan. The reason why the wife's surname was also Lin was because of the Lin family's rules. Women who married into the Lin family had to change their surname to Lin. If she really married Lin Qianyu, it would be the same.
From the fact that Lin Luan dared to provoke Chen Sixuan without any hesitation, one could see how powerful the Lin Family was in the Eastern Wood Empire. She didn't give face to the Princess in front of the Emperor of the Eastern Wood Empire. If it was anyone else, they would have their entire family destroyed.
Chen Sixuan didn't care about Lin Luan's reaction. She looked at her father again, saying: "Father, Mother, when I first came to Blazing Academy, I became Teacher Ji Dong's disciple. When I first met Teacher Ji Dong, we fell in love at first sight. Thus, I started to pursue Teacher Ji Dong. Finally, not long ago, I obtained Teacher Ji Dong's approval, and then we could be together. This time, I came back to explain this matter to Father and Mother. My feelings for Brother Qianyu have always been like that of a brother and sister. We are not suitable to be husband and wife. Uncle Lin, Aunt Lin, I'm really sorry."
Chen Sixuan's words stunned everyone present. Although they vaguely knew about the relationship between Chen Sixuan and Ji Dong, who would have thought that it was Chen Sixuan who took the initiative to pursue him, and even pursued him for more than a year before he agreed. For a moment, whether it was Emperor Chen Xiaofeng or Lin Baichuan and his wife, their faces were extremely ugly.
