The First Tyrant of Daxia

Chapter 4535 Going to Nanlin Sect

Hearing this, Qin Yun frowned. It was rare to see a general like Xiao Jian being selfish.

Not knowing the details, Qin Yun smiled and joked, "You are not attracted to the daughter of another sect, are you? Speaking of which, the Nanlin Sect is located in the center of the yellow sand, and it should have been conquered long ago. You haven't been thinking about it for a long time, have you?"

After hearing these words, Xiao Jian was shocked beyond words and could hardly believe his ears.

He exclaimed, "Your Majesty, I only thought that Your Majesty could see through people's minds and know what they are thinking, but I never thought that Your Majesty could even see what they are thinking. It's so terrifying!"

The smile on Qin Yun's face froze, and he looked Xiao Jian up and down. He didn't expect that his words would come true. This kid really fell in love with the daughter of another sect.

Although with the current overall strength of the Great Xia Empire, as long as he gave the order, the daughter of the Nanlin clan would have to come to the imperial capital obediently and willingly marry Xiao Jian to become the Princess of Great Xia.

But Qin Yun still needed to find out whether Xiao Jian was simply attracted by her beauty or he really had feelings for her.

After a brief hesitation, Qin Yun nodded and agreed: "No problem, I will go to Nanlin Sect with you to see what kind of magic power this Nanlin Sect's daughter has that can actually seduce the soul of General Xiao Jian."

Qin Yun and Xiao Jian rushed to Nanlin Sect together. When they arrived at the sect gate, Xiao Jian began to hesitate.

He held Qin Yun and said with a little embarrassment: "Your Majesty, in fact, I have never spoken to the other party. I only know that the daughter of the Nanlin Sect is named Chu Lin, with excellent temperament and beautiful appearance."

Qin Yun had anticipated this. If she wasn't a fairy-like figure, it would be impossible for Xiao Jian to take a fancy to her.

"Alright." Qin Yun waved his hand and said, "As long as I can see your sincerity, I will agree to betroth Chu Lin to you. But as for how our relationship will develop in the future, that depends on your own luck."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Jian said excitedly, and took the initiative to step forward and push open the gate of Nanlin Sect.

What comes into view is a lush and green scene. Even within the sect's position, there are dense vegetation, surrounded by jungles, and wooden buildings fill the entire sect.

After Qin Yun's observation, he soon discovered that the spiritual power here was more abundant, and he could better sense the destiny of Daxia.

No wonder the Nanlin Sect's disciples made such rapid progress. It must have been influenced by the sect's overall luck and energy. However, compared to other sects, the Nanlin Sect did not show anything special, which made Qin Yun a little confused.

Noticing the approach of Qin Yun and Xiao Jian, Nanlin Sect's leader Chu Jiuhe hurried over from the main hall.

Since returning to the Great Xia Empire, Chu Jiuhe has never met Qin Yun in person. Originally, the sect should have been in ruins and disturbed by the war, but at this moment, there is no trace of fighting in the Nanlin Sect.

"Your Majesty!" Chu Jiuhe stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I have heard that Your Majesty is wise for a long time, but I have not seen you in person for many days. Today, I see that your reputation is well-deserved. Your Majesty has an extraordinary demeanor and an emperor's aura is evident!"

Qin Yun had no idea how many times he had heard such compliments. He had long been immune to them and his face remained calm.

He looked around and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why is the Nanlin Sect not affected by the war at all? Did the Nanlin Sect choose to surrender to the Great Xia Empire?"

Hearing this, Chu Jiuhe's eyes fell on Xiao Jian, and after a brief hesitation, he replied: "Your Majesty, this is not the case."

Seeing Chu Jiuhe in such an awkward situation, Xiao Jian quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it was indeed a huge war to conquer the Nanlin Sect. Its overall strength was not weak compared to that of the Great Xia at that time. But I held back and did not kill the people of the Nanlin Sect." The matter of conquering the Nanlin Sect can be traced back to several decades ago, when the Great Xia had just ascended to the Holy Realm and had not yet successfully established its prestige. Its overall strength was also at the bottom. Xiao Jian was brave and, under Qin Yun's command, conquered small and medium-sized sects, of which the Nanlin Sect was just an inconspicuous part.

Qin Yun didn't expect that Xiao Jian had already indulged the Nanlin Sect decades ago. He thought it was because of Chu Lin that he only mentioned it after so long.

"Boy, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Qin Yun turned around and asked jokingly.

Xiao Jian was slightly embarrassed: "Your Majesty, at that time, Da Xia needed the energy of luck to develop. If I showed mercy and told Your Majesty, I am really worried that Your Majesty would blame me."

Hearing this, Qin Yun smiled calmly: "Xiao Jian, do you know that this is a crime of deceiving the emperor?"

This was originally a joke from Qin Yun, but Chu Jiuhe took it seriously. He immediately knelt on his knees and begged for mercy for Xiao Jian: "Your Majesty! You don't know the situation at that time. The Nanlin Sect was in dire straits. Once a war was launched, it would inevitably cause internal and external troubles to the sect. If it weren't for General Xiao Jian's leniency, the Nanlin Sect would have ceased to exist decades ago."

Chu Jiuhe cupped his hands and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, please show mercy and let General Xiao Jian go!"

The sect leader's words were immediately echoed by the surrounding disciples. All the disciples present knelt down towards Qin Yun, just to be able to pardon Xiao Jian's crimes.

Xiao Jian was also a little confused when he saw this. He didn't expect that the people of Nanlin Sect would take it so seriously. He hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty was just joking. There is no need to be so nervous."

As he spoke, Xiao Jian stepped forward to help Chu Jiuhe up, and patiently comforted him, "His Majesty is not as strict as you think. Easy-going is the synonym of His Majesty."

Qin Yun gently held his forehead. He didn't expect the Nanlin Sect to react so strongly. His simple test was enough to show that Xiao Jian had a special relationship with his southern neighbor. Not only the sect, but even the disciples below looked at Xiao Jian with eyes that were definitely not strangers. After all, he was a close confidant of Queen Xiao Yuxiang, and Xiao Jian was brave, so he was Qin Yun's right-hand man.

After decades of fighting, there was still something that could be hidden from Qin Yun: "Xiao Jian, you have really kept it from me for many years. If it weren't for this opportunity for the Nanlin Sect, when would you have confessed to me?"

Xiao Jian replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I don't want my personal affairs to affect the war, so I planned to mention it to Your Majesty after conquering the extremely cold area. I didn't expect to encounter this accident."

Although it was just a chance meeting, Qin Yun could still see that the entire Nanlin Sect had no ulterior motives and was loyal enough to Daxia.

When they were in dire straits, it was Xiao Jian who stepped forward to solve the problem. As Qin Yun's right-hand man, everyone's love for the Great Xia Empire was no less obvious than that of the ministers who had lived in the imperial capital for a long time.

Chu Jiuhe was still a little uncomfortable. Facing Qin Yun, he was inevitably a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, why don't we talk in the hall? If there is anything that requires the Nanlin Sect to take action, Your Majesty, just give the order. The sect will have no second thoughts and will obey your orders."
