"Impossible to guard against!"
Lin Xiao sighed after hearing Feng Shaoyang's words and continued: "Instead of passively defending, why don't we take the initiative to attack?"
"Take the initiative?"
Feng Shaoyang couldn't see through Lin Xiao's plan and asked: "What are you planning to do, Brother Lin?
Are we going straight to the sacred hall? "
"That's right!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao nodded and said meaningfully, "Isn't the Sacred Hall going to have a new Hall Master? We happen to have a suitable candidate here, don't we?"
"Well …"
Feng Shaoyang looked at Lin Xiao in surprise and said with admiration: "Brother Lin's vision and breadth of mind are truly admirable!
This move might be dangerous but if it succeeds, it will be worth a lot! "
"Little Brother Feng is too kind."
When Lin Xiao heard this, he only shrugged with a smile and came to the Skylark Hall.
This was one of the palaces in the Great Spring Dynasty. In theory, it could be considered Lin Xiao's harem. However, the woman living here wasn't Lin Xiao's concubine for the time being.
This woman was none other than Zhao Yingying.
Zhao Yingying was surprised to see Lin Xiao. She went up to him and asked: "Lin Xiao, why are you here?
Did something happen? "
"Something like that!"
Lin Xiao looked at Zhao Yingying and pondered for a moment before continuing: "I just received news that your grandfather is going to abdicate!"
"Abdicate?!"
Zhao Yingying couldn't believe her ears. Although her grandfather wasn't young anymore, there was still a few decades before he would abdicate. How could it be so sudden?
Could it be …
With this thought, Zhao Yingying looked at Lin Xiao with worry and said: "Lin Xiao, my grandfather did make a big mistake last time but he is still my grandfather. Can you … not hurt him …"
Although Zhao Bufan had given up on her happiness in the face of the benefits of the Sacred Hall, Zhao Bufan had been very good to her since she was young. He didn't let her suffer any grievances because of her poor talent. Therefore, Zhao Yingying didn't want anything to happen to Zhao Bufan because of her.
Lin Xiao nodded indifferently when he heard Zhao Yingying's words and said, "Don't worry, I won't harm his life. As for the rest, that's the price he should pay!
I came to find you this time because I hope you can help me with something! "
"What is it?"
Zhao Yingying was surprised. Her cultivation wasn't high and she was no longer the young miss of the sacred hall. How could she help Lin Xiao?
Lin Xiao didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "It's like this. Since your grandfather proposed to abdicate, the sacred hall need a new hall master, I hope that new hall master to choose you!"
"Me?"
Zhao Yingying looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief.
Even though she had been spoiled since she was a child, she had never thought about being the hall master of the sacred hall. After all, she knew clearly the responsibilities of the hall master of the sacred hall. With her talent and strength, she wasn't qualified to be the hall master of the sacred hall. Even if she took the position reluctantly, there would be people who wouldn't accept it!
"Yes, it's you!"
However, Lin Xiao's answer was affirmative.
Zhao Yingying couldn't help but shake her head and say with a wry smile: "Lin Xiao, you know that my talent for cultivation is not high. Over the years, my grandfather has given me countless resources. My cultivation is only at Level 1 of the Earthly Celestial Stage. With such talent and strength, it's impossible for me to be the hall master of the sacred hall!"
"Who said it's impossible?"
Lin Xiao said with a confident smile: "When I inherited the throne of the Great Spring Dynasty, I was only at the Earth Celestial Stage. Who thought highly of me?
Now, who dares to look down on me? "
"This …"
Hearing that, Zhao Yingying hesitated.
She understood that what Lin Xiao said made sense. When Lin Xiao had seized the throne of the Great Spring Empire, many people had said that the Great Spring Empire would withdraw from the top ten forces in a few years. But now, the Great Spring Empire had reached an unprecedented height. Even the Templar Hall had no choice but to give way to it!
However, she was different from Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao had a group of subordinates who were loyal to him and had outstanding talent. She had nothing. Even her grandfather had abandoned her for the sake of the Sacred Hall.
At the thought of that, Zhao Yingying's expression became gloomy.
Seeing Zhao Yingying's expression, Lin Xiao put his hand on her shoulder and said: "Don't think too much. I believe you can do it, because I will always be behind you!"
"Lin Xiao …"
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Zhao Yingying was moved. Of course, at the same time, she thought of a possibility. She asked tentatively: "You let me be the Hall Leader of the Sacred Hall because you want to use me to annex the Sacred Hall, right?"
Although Zhao Yingying had been spoiled since she was a child, she had always been eccentric. When she was in the Nine Points Hall, she was used to seeing the world. So, she quickly thought of this point.
"Silly, you think too much!"
Hearing that, Lin Xiao smiled helplessly and said: "If I wanted to annex the Sacred Hall, I would have done it directly. Why would I let you be the Hall Leader of the Sacred Hall and add another layer of trouble?
I let you be the Hall Leader of the Sacred Hall in the hope that the Sacred Hall and the Great Spring Dynasty will always be allies. Do you understand? "
Always be allies …
Was Lin Xiao promising something to her?
Zhao Yingying's expression was a little complicated. Although she liked Lin Xiao very much, this matter was related to the future of the Sacred Hall. She couldn't make a decision in such a short time.
Lin Xiao didn't want to give Zhao Yingying too much pressure. He only smiled and said: "Don't be in a hurry to give me an answer. I'll give you three days!
After three days, if you're willing, I'll take you to the Sacred Hall! "
Lin Xiao had feelings for Zhao Yingying.
Because of this, Lin Xiao didn't want to suppress the Sacred Hall through bloody means. However, he had to complete the mission given to him by the system. Therefore, this was the only way to complete it.
Anyway, he only wanted to unify the northern region. It didn't mean that there could only be one force in the northern region.
As long as Zhao Yingying became the Hall Leader of the Sacred Hall and she was his concubine, the Sacred Hall would naturally be under the Great Spring Dynasty. At that time, he would have completed the mission of unifying the northern region. At the same time, he wouldn't have to make a move on the Sacred Hall!
"No need to think about it!
I promise you! "
Upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, Zhao Yingying gritted her teeth and said: "I think with your strength, it's not impossible for you to annex the Sacred Hall in the future. Instead of watching the Sacred Hall be destroyed in your hands, I might as well become the Hall Leader of the Sacred Hall. At least I can protect the Sacred Hall and your consideration for me won't be in vain. Isn't that right?"
"It's good that you understand my painstaking efforts!"
Lin Xiao nodded and reached out to hug Zhao Yingying. He was most worried that Zhao Yingying wouldn't understand him. However, it seemed that Zhao Yingying was a sensible girl.
