Chapter 4459
Eventually, the two became dedicated followers of Lin Keting!
In Sun and Moon City, numerous demon cultivators owe their lives to the benevolence of Taoist Wuji.
“Miss, we’ve reached the Imperial City. Please remember not to go against your father’s wishes,” cautioned the blind elder on Lin Keting’s right in a hushed tone.
This journey to the Battlefield of Gods and Demons was undertaken without the consent of Lin Keting’s father.
Taoist Wuji was aware of this fact, yet Lin Keting remained a princess. If she ventured into the heavenly realm alone and encountered trouble, who would bear the consequences?
“I understand!” Lin Keting replied with a nod.
A grand procession, accompanied by dozens of guards, made its way toward the city gate.
Lin Keting wore a faint smile. Although she recognized her mistake, she felt no fear!
She was confident in her father’s affection for her, believing he could never genuinely punish her.
However, the two blind elders looked grave. Even with their backing from Taoist Wuji, they knew they couldn’t escape a reprimand from the Emperor.
As Lin Keting and her entourage approached the city gate, they were halted by an unexpected figure!
“Little sister, Father has decreed that you are not to enter the Imperial City upon your return. You are to go directly to Lingyun Peak and reflect on your mistakes for a decade,” announced a young man in a yellow robe with a golden crown, exuding nobility.
This was Lin Keting’s elder brother, Lin Kedong, the Prince of Sun Moon City!
“Brother, please don’t misinterpret the Emperor’s will. I highly doubt he would send me away to ponder my mistakes for ten years.”
“I’ll seek clarification from Father…”
Ignoring Lin Kedong’s attempts to stop her, Lin Keting dashed into the city!
“Little sister, I am not misrepresenting Father’s wishes. This is precisely what he instructed,” Lin Kedong insisted, blocking her path.
The two blind elders on either side of Lin Keting wished to assist her but refrained, recognizing this was a familial matter.
With a fierce glare, Lin Keting snapped at Lin Kedong, “Brother, I know you’ve always resented me. You’re jealous of how much Father dotes on me. But as a girl, I have no desire to compete with you for the title of Crown Prince. Why can’t you just let it go?”
Lin Keting had long harbored disdain for her elder brother, perceiving him as petty and overly envious!
As the only daughter among nine princes, she was indeed her father’s favorite!
This favoritism fueled Lin Kedong’s jealousy, leading him to target Lin Keting at every turn!
“Little sister, what are you saying? I’m merely following our father’s orders. How could I be so harsh on you?”
“Just so you know, Taoist Wuji is also in the palace, and he won’t be able to save you!” Lin Kedong warned.
Stunned, Lin Keting realized she had received permission from her master to go to the Battlefield of Gods and Demons. How could this situation have arisen?
Yet, she refused to back down and was determined to confront her father personally!
Seeing her resolve, Lin Kedong’s expression turned icy. “Little sister, if you continue to act so unreasonably, don’t blame me for my actions.”
With that, he gestured to the guards at the city gate, commanding, “Seize the princess…”
Just as the guard prepared to act, a figure rushed forward!
“Wait…”
A young man clad in a yellow robe, wielding a long sword, strode over and declared, “Brother, the Emperor has commanded me to enter the city.”
This was Lin Keting’s fourth brother, Lin Kefan.
Upon seeing Lin Kefan, Lin Keting couldn’t help but smile and eagerly hugged his arm. “Fourth brother, let’s go!”
“Hold on!” Lin Kedong interjected, a frown forming on his face. “Fourth Brother, you’re not falsely conveying our father’s orders, are you? The Emperor instructed me to ensure she reflects on her mistakes for ten years.”
