Chapter 6: Lin Qi’an: I Still Need a Maid
“Let’s go have a look.” Lin Qi’an stood up unhurriedly.
The attack on the Tianchi Holy Land had no real impact on him. Even if the entire Tianchi Holy Land were destroyed, it would just be a small skirmish to him.
Looking up, he saw that the protective array of the Tianchi Holy Land had already been activated. But the external attack was fierce, with meteoric fire rain and constant thunderous roars in the sky, as if the apocalypse had arrived.
The entire Tianchi Holy Land was already in chaos.
Inside the main hall, Holy Master Su Yun was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, and the elders all had anxious expressions.
“Holy Master, our protective array can only hold out for three days at most!”
“Those bastards from the Tiangang Holy Land, our private conflicts have actually alarmed the Tai’an royal family!”
“Relying on some connections to try to destroy us, how outrageous!”
The Tai’an royal family was the ruler of the Tianlang Immortal Dynasty, the overlord of the Canglan Dao Domain.
With its hundreds of millions of inhabitants in Tai’an City, it overlooked all living beings. All sects and holy lands in the Mortal Realm followed its lead, except for Beiyang.
This was because seven-tenths of the Immortal Dynasty’s territory had been conquered by Beiyang.
“They want to destroy our Tianchi Holy Land. Do they know that the Crown Prince is here?”
“So what if they know? They are not targeting the Crown Prince. Do you really expect the Crown Prince to help us?”
“The Tiangang Holy Land is acting under the nod of the Tai’an royal family! Now that the Holy Master is injured, we have no means to resist…”
“Alas, is the Tianchi Holy Land doomed?” Su Xueni felt deep regret in her heart.
If she had willingly washed the Crown Prince’s feet earlier, would he have been in a good mood and helped them out of this disaster?
But now, it was too late to regret. The Crown Prince would never go against the Tai’an royal family for a holy land with which he had no personal connection…
“His Highness has arrived!”
With the servant’s announcement, Lin Qi’an walked into the main hall with his hands behind his back. Everyone, including Holy Master Su Yun and Su Xueni, looked at him with hopeful eyes.
“What’s the commotion about?”
“Those from the Tiangang Holy Land are here. I was injured in a conflict with them.”
Su Yun sighed, “Or perhaps it is because the prince has repeatedly invited Xueni to Tai’an City, but she refused, causing resentment.”
“Now they come with the prince’s order to destroy our Tianchi and take Xueni back to the Immortal Dynasty.”
Everyone knew that the prince had feelings for Su Xueni. After all, the number one beauty on the Immortal List was his sister, so he naturally coveted the second.
Su Xueni’s repeated refusals had crossed the prince’s bottom line. Thus, the prince wanted to use the Tiangang Holy Land as a knife to destroy the holy land and take the saintess!
Under heaven, all land belongs to the king. Who would dare defy the prince’s order?
“Interesting,” Lin Qi’an smiled slightly.
If he were not here, the plot would develop like this: The holy land in crisis, Ling Tian would step in to resolve it, show off and amaze everyone, greatly increasing his prestige, and winning Su Xueni’s heart, becoming the winner in life.
Heh, he couldn’t let that happen!
Seeing that Lin Qi’an didn’t seem very interested in helping, everyone’s hearts sank.
“Crown Prince, if there is anyone in the world who can help our Tianchi Holy Land, it is none other than you!”
Su Yun bowed respectfully, “If you can save our Tianchi Holy Land from this disaster, we are willing to offer half of our natural treasures and divine weapons as tribute to Beiyang!”
“Please lend a helping hand!” everyone pleaded in unison.
Lin Qi’an was their only savior. If he didn’t help, everyone in the holy land, except Su Xueni, would die.
“I’m sorry, I’m not interested in your Tianchi Holy Land’s stuff,” Lin Qi’an smiled and shook his head. “Do you think it’s possible for me to offend the Tai’an royal family for a bit of petty profit that Beiyang doesn’t care about?”
Su Yun’s face turned ashen. The elders were heartbroken. Su Xueni bit her silver teeth but also expressed understanding. Beiyang belonged to the Tianlang Immortal Dynasty; they were essentially one entity.
Now, risking their relationship for a small holy land was not worthwhile or daring.
“However, it’s not impossible for me to help your Tianchi Holy Land, but there are conditions.” Lin Qi’an’s words brought a turn for the better, giving everyone a glimmer of hope. freёwebnovel.com
Su Yun was overjoyed and said tremulously, “What are your conditions, Your Highness? Just say it, and we will do our best!”
“I want a person.”
Everyone looked, and the Crown Prince’s gaze fell on Su Xueni! The Crown Prince wanted to compete with the prince for a person?!
A thunderbolt struck everyone’s hearts. Only Su Xueni felt joy. She had thought he wasn’t interested in her, but it turned out to be all a man’s facade, hmph!
She was more than willing to follow Lin Qi’an, which would give her a legitimate reason to win him over. It was a thousand times better than following the prince!
“But… the prince also fancies Xueni, you…”
“What does it matter to me if the prince fancies her?” Lin Qi’an sat on the golden throne in the hall, smiling at everyone, “Whoever I fancy is mine.”
With these words, everyone felt that the white-robed Crown Prince exuded an overwhelming aura. His gaze seemed to overlook the world, putting no one in his eyes!
Domineering! Astonishing!
Everyone in the hall gasped. The Crown Prince not only dared to protect the holy land but also openly competed with the prince for a person. Was there anything in the world he didn’t dare to do?!
Su Xueni blushed, her heart pounding. At this moment, she was truly attracted by Lin Qi’an’s domineering aura, unrelated to the Dragon Yang Dao Physique…
“But you have misunderstood one thing. What I need is a maid to take care of my daily life, not a Dao companion.”
His words fell like a bomb exploding underwater!
A great shock!
The woman favored by the prince, the second beauty on the Immortal List, the unparalleled saintess. The Crown Prince only wanted her to be a maid?
