Recently, although the World's First Spirit Cultivator Assembly had ended, a large number of Spirit Cultivators were not in a hurry to leave the capital because the Phoenix Dance Roll selection was about to begin!
Especially this time, the Phoenix Dance Roll was linked to the new emperor's concubine selection, causing countless beauties to break their heads to squeeze in.
Of course, there were some who looked down on the position of imperial concubine.
Just like Ten Thousand Mysterious Sect's Cui Linglong also participated in the Phoenix Dance Roll, but she only went to play. Even if she was chosen as imperial concubine, she would not agree.
At this time, in Mo Linhui's study, Mo Yile's eyes were red as she rubbed the corner of her clothes with her fingers, looking very wronged.
"Father, do you really want me to marry that Lei Haoyan?
How old is he? I don't like him! "
Mo Linhui looked at his younger daughter, who had a child at an old age, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings. He suddenly sighed, and the wrinkles on his face deepened, making him look like he had aged a few years.
He sighed, "My good daughter, to be able to marry into the imperial family and become an imperial concubine is an honor. Do you know how many women outside dream of becoming an imperial concubine?
Father knows that you are playful and do not care about status and power. Father also wants you to live a carefree life, but father is not young anymore. How many more years can I protect you?
If father is no longer here, what will you do? "
"No!" Mo Yile interrupted Mo Linhui with tears on her face, "Father, you will definitely live a long life!"
Mo Linhui dotingly patted the back of Mo Yile's head, "Silly child, father knows my own body best. In recent years, it has been getting worse and worse. Relying on those heavenly treasures to support me for a few more years won't be a problem.
So father wants to pave the way for you in advance. Your cultivation talent is very high. Father originally wanted you to enter the Discipline Commission or the Dark Thunder Guards.
Coincidentally, the new emperor has ascended the throne and expanded the harem. This is an excellent opportunity for you.
Although you still like to play, you are quick-witted and have cultivation. Ordinary methods are useless against you.
In addition, father is working for you outside. I guarantee that you will be able to sit on the imperial concubine position sooner or later. Even becoming the mother of the world is not impossible! "
Mo Yi Le was displeased. Just as she was about to retort, Mo Linhui raised his hand and said earnestly, "Father knows you're proud and don't care about these things.
But have you ever thought, father has been the prime minister for many years, and can be considered a person of virtue and prestige, but there are also many people who want to get rid of me!
Your brothers aren't mediocre, but they aren't brave either. Once father is gone, our Mo family will be in danger.
Only when you become the Imperial Concubine and make the Mo Family a relative of the Imperial Family can the Mo Family continue to prosper. Do you understand Father's painstaking efforts? "
Mo Linhui's words were like a mountain pressing down on Mo Yi Le's heart. It turned out that the prosperity of the Mo Family was on her shoulders!
Even though she was extremely unwilling in her heart, she had already tacitly agreed with Mo Linhui's decision.
She was playful, had a bad temper, and was somewhat arrogant. It was precisely because she was born into the Mo Family that she had the right to be arrogant. Now, it was time to repay the Mo Family.
Mo Yi Le's heart was incomparably sour, but her eyes became much more resolute. "Father, daughter understands. Daughter will listen to your arrangements."
Saying these words seemed to use up all the strength in her body. Then, she turned around and left. Her frail back made one's heart ache.
Mo Linhui didn't stop her because not only did he see Mo Yi Le's pain, but he also saw her growth!
"Yi Le, don't blame father …"
The same thing happened at the Dark Thunder Guard headquarters. Empyrean Black Flame also said the same thing to Lian Ye.
The difference was that Lian Ye's reaction was very different from Mo Yi Le's.
After Lian Ye heard that Empyrean Black Flame wanted her to enter the palace, her first words were, "But I already have someone in my heart."
Hearing this, Empyrean Black Flame was greatly surprised. He had always kept Lian Ye by his side. When did she have someone she liked?
Moreover, Empyrean Black Flame was the person in charge of the Thunderfire Dynasty's intelligence. If there really was someone close to Lian Ye, he should have already known.
Therefore, Empyrean Black Flame immediately determined that this was Lian Ye's excuse. He earnestly said, "Lian 'er, do you know what His Majesty said in the imperial court today?
His Majesty is already prepared for me to hand over my position as Grand Commander. Compared to entering the Imperial Family's Hall of Worship to retire, I'm more willing to guard the border. However, if I do that, there will be no one to take care of you. How can I leave in peace? "
"Godfather, I'm no longer a little girl. I can take care of myself."
"I know you've matured a lot in the past two years, but the person who will take over as Grand Commander isn't someone who's content with his lot. He might take care of you on account of me nurturing him, but he might also secretly pull out my trusted aide. Therefore, it's not suitable for you to continue staying in the Dark Thunder Guard." Empyrean Black Flame frowned.
Lian Ye became curious. Just who could shake Empyrean Black Flame's position as Grand Commander and make him feel such dread?
"Godfather, who is this person you're talking about?"
Empyrean Black Flame's tone turned serious. "He's one of the four Grand Commanders of the Dark Thunder Guard who proposed the First Spirit Cultivator Conference, Liu Xingzhi!"
"It's him!?" Lian Ye's mouth opened slightly as she shouted in astonishment.
"That's right. He's currently deeply trusted by His Majesty. His Majesty is preparing to vigorously nurture Liu Xingzhi to become his trusted aide.
You've interacted with Liu Xingzhi before, so you should know what kind of person he is. Wherever he goes, there will always be an endless vortex lingering around.
Actually, this kind of person isn't suitable to be the Grand Commander of the Dark Thunder Guard. Speaking of which, he's more suitable for the Discipline Commission. However, since His Majesty has already made up his mind, even I can't change it.
That's why he had you enter the palace. You once said that you wanted to marry someone with a powerful cultivation and resourcefulness. The current His Majesty has a cultivation at the late stage of Unity of Heaven and Man realm. In just a few short months, he obtained the approval of all the ministers and firmly sat on the dragon throne. Could it be that you're still not satisfied? "
"But, but …" Lian Ye suddenly stuttered, a strange expression on her face. She softly muttered, "Then wouldn't Liu Xingzhi be even more outstanding?"
Although her voice was soft, who was Empyrean Black Flame? Of course, he clearly heard these words. He asked in amazement, "Lian 'er, could it be that you've taken a fancy to that Liu Xingzhi?"
"I, I don't know. Perhaps it's just a bit of worship."
Lian Ye revealed the secret in her heart. She hadn't had much contact with Leng Shiqi, but she had watched Leng Shiqi's astonishing growth step by step.
She had also witnessed Leng Shiqi's wisdom and courage. In any case, in her eyes, there was no one who could compare to Leng Shiqi!
Empyrean Black Flame was silent for a moment before saying, "Liu Xingzhi is indeed a peerless genius that only appears once in a thousand years. His future achievements are limitless. He definitely won't stop at being the Grand Commander of the Dark Thunder Guard.
However, you have to know, how great can his power be?
When his ambition isn't satisfied, who knows what he'll do!
He's too dangerous and not suitable for you. "
Lian Ye quietly smiled. "Adoptive father, what are you thinking? At most, I have a good impression of him. I've never thought of being together with him."
"That's good." Empyrean Black Flame's face relaxed.
A trace of craftiness flashed through Lian Ye's eyes. "However, there's no need for me to marry Lei Haoyan. Even if he wants me to leave the Dark Thunder Guard and travel the world, it might not be a bad thing. Rather than going to the palace to be a canary in a cage, I'd rather be a free little bird."
Empyrean Black Flame's expression stiffened again. "So you've been waiting for me here. That's fine. It's good that you're far away from the great maelstrom that is the imperial capital. As long as you're happy, your adoptive father will be satisfied."
Lian Ye sweetly smiled, but in her heart, she thought, "Perhaps I should go find him."
