The Laughing Monk waved his hand and said, "The Fayuan Temple doesn't have any plans. It's just that before I came here, I received news that the Central Plains will also send people to participate in the coronation."
Uninvited?
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breaths.
The old man's expression changed and he said playfully, "Back in the days, the King of Beiyou dominated the north. Everywhere he went, all the strong people bowed their heads and submitted. However, very few people know that the title of King of Beiyou was actually conferred by the Nine Great Families of the Central Plains. "
The Laughing Monk laughed and said, "That's right. If the Nine Great Families of the Central Plains don't recognize the title of King of The North, then the King Of The North will never be the King of the North. How can they submit?"
The representative of the Ethereal Sect said, "What if the Nine Great Families of the Central Plains also confer the title of King Of The North?"
The Laughing Monk smiled brightly and said, "Then we'll see if the King Of The North is willing to kneel and accept the edict."
The representative of the Ethereal Sect was stunned for a moment before he suddenly laughed.
Seeing this, An Ning narrowed her eyes and coughed softly, saying, "In the long run, it's not a bad thing to have the King Of The North in the north. At least he defeated the Demon Race. This monstrous merit is worthy of recognition. As long as he doesn't insist on the Five Sects kneeling and submitting, it's not impossible for the Five Sects to recognize him as the King Of The North."
The old man in the green robe felt the same way and nodded, saying, "The North is in a calamity and people are in a terrible situation. We need to rest and recuperate. I hope the King Of The North will stop while he's ahead. Don't force the Five Sects to completely stand against him in order to protect themselves."
Everyone nodded.
Bi Yuanhai observed their expressions and could see that the Five Sects were really afraid of the Shen Lian.
Even in the era of the Aristocratic Families, the Five Sects were united and didn't fear any of the Aristocratic Families. However, a Shen Lian made them so uneasy. How could they endure it?
Bi Yuanhai suddenly felt that the scene in front of him was very absurd and funny.
"Your Majesty, a letter from the Poison Dragon Pool."
In the Water Qilin Palace at the Black River Estuary, Housekeeper Old Turtle walked quickly with a letter in his hand.
"Hurry up and bring it over."
Suilin Of Goguryeo, who had just recovered from his serious injury, had a change in his complexion. His Family Huang had been annihilated, and he had failed to live up to the Poison Dragon Pool's trust. He felt very uneasy.
After Suilin Of Goguryeo returned to the Black River Estuary from the Nine Yin Mountain with a body full of injuries, he reported everything to his Master and earnestly asked for his Master's punishment.
Suilin Of Goguryeo hurriedly took the letter and opened it. After reading it, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Old Turtle hurriedly asked, "My lord, what does the letter say?"
Suilin Of Goguryeo smiled and said, "Master did not blame me. Instead, he comforted me and asked me to continue to be friends with the Shen Lian."
Old Turtle's spirit was greatly boosted. He smiled and said, "That's how it should be. Family Huang was annihilated, and it wasn't your fault. It was their own incompetence. "
Suilin Of Goguryeo deeply agreed and sighed, "It's not that Family Huang was incompetent, but that Shen Lian was too terrifying. To be honest, I don't want to be enemies with the Shen Lian at all."
Old Turtle was a bit speechless. He felt that Suilin Of Goguryeo had changed a lot after coming back from playing with the Shen Lian. His aura was much weaker, and he didn't have a trace of the domineering aura that a formidable person should have.
Old Turtle thought for a while and said, "Since the Poison Dragon Pool hopes that you can be friends with the Shen Lian, why don't you send more gifts during the ascension ceremony?"
Suilin Of Goguryeo nodded and said, "That should be the case. Go and prepare a great gift immediately."
"Have you packed your things?"
On the second floor of the Gu Garden, Wan Yin put down the pen in her hand and folded a letter neatly before stuffing it into the envelope.
"Yes, I have." Shuang Xi nodded and was slightly hesitant. In the end, she couldn't help but ask, "Sister Yin, are you really going to the Central Plains?"
Wan Yin raised her head and looked at Shuang Xi. She smiled and said, "Now that things have come to this, I have no other choice. In the Northern Lands, I am no match for the Shen Lian. If I want to defeat him, I can only go to the Central Plains."
Shuang Xi sighed sadly and said, "Do you really have to defeat him?"
Wan Yin took a deep breath and said slowly, "If I don't defeat the Shen Lian, I won't be able to rule the Northern Lands, and I won't have enough strength to fight against that family, and I won't be able to save your life. Therefore, I have to defeat the Shen Lian. This is my promise to you."
Shuang Xi's eyes were hazy.
Wan Yin passed the envelope over and said, "Send it out as soon as possible."
Shuang Xi nodded and took the letter. Seeing that Wan Yin had changed into a set of white clothes, she said in surprise, "You are going out?"
Wan Yin nodded lightly and said, "I am going to see my father."
In front of the Wan residence's gate.
A carriage drove over and stopped. A person alighted from the carriage. It was Wan Yin from the Gu Garden.
The coachman immediately went to knock on the door.
Someone came to open the door. Hearing that Wan Yin was here, the coachman hurriedly went to report. When he returned, he was told that he would not see him.
Wan Sanye did not want to see her.
Wan Yin was not anxious and directly knelt in front of the door. He knelt from noon until dusk.
Rain began to fall from the sky.
Wan Yin was drenched from head to toe in the rain. His hair was wet and stuck to his face.
When the sky was about to turn dark, the door opened with a creak.
Wan Yin raised his head.
He saw Liu Ruyi walking out with an umbrella. Without saying anything, she helped Wan Yin up and brought him into the house.
"Come, have a dumpling." At the dining table, Wan Sanye was carrying a baby and playing with it.
This child was naturally born of Liu Ruyi. He was very cute and could not speak properly. He was still young and could only babble.
At this moment, a figure knelt in front of Wan Sanye. Who else could it be but Wan Yin?
Wan Sanye did not even raise his head and continued to play with his little son.
Liu Ruyi walked over and carried the child away. She waved her hand and the servants immediately left the room.
Wan Sanye glared at Liu Ruyi. Liu Ruyi smiled coquettishly and left with her son.
Only the father and daughter were left in the room.
After a long while, Third Young Master Wan took a deep look at Wan Yin with a complicated expression on his face. He said emotionlessly, "I remember the last time we had a heart-to-heart talk. You said that you have grasped the general trend of the world. Is there anything you want to add this time?"
Wan Yin lowered her head and said, "Your daughter is unfilial and has disappointed you."
Wan Sanye shook his head and said indifferently, "I am no longer disappointed."
There was no greater sorrow than a dead heart.
Wan Yin said in a low voice, "Father, the world's situation has not changed. The Apocalypse Plan has succeeded and the Heaven Shrouding Barrier is about to be activated. However, I have not been able to control the Northern Lands as I wished."
Wan Sanye snorted indifferently. "The Shen Lian in the Northern Lands is more suitable than you."
Wan Yin said, "I know that I am not as good as the Shen Lian. However, I am not willing to admit defeat and want to fight. Therefore, I plan to go to the Central Plains. This trip is dangerous and unpredictable. The future is uncertain. It may be the last time we will see each other. I have specially come to bid farewell."
Wan Sanye was finally moved. He sighed and said, "Is that Double Happiness really that important to you?"
Wan Yin's body trembled. She said in surprise, "Father knows."
