Traveling to the future, the story with the orc king

After Qin Yaling left, Long Si couldn't wait to run in to report.

"Your Highness, Young Master Lin has left." Long Si said with a proud look on her face.

After hearing this, Lin Ziyu's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a happy smile. A sly glint flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Long Si, did she leave in a particularly angry mood?"

Long Si nodded and replied, "Yes, Master Lin, Miss Qin looks very angry!"

"Haha..." Lin Ziyu laughed happily...

Long Yan looked at Lin Ziyu from the side, frowning slightly and asked, "Ziyu, have you ever thought about this? Aren't you afraid that she will cause trouble for your Lin family?"

When Lin Ziyu heard Long Yan's question, he was suddenly stunned. A surprised expression appeared on his face, and he obviously hadn't considered this.

"Ah! Long Yan, you said...she should...not know who I am?" Lin Ziyu asked.

Long Yan shook his head slightly and replied, "That's hard to say. Maybe she knows, maybe she doesn't. After all, if she doesn't know who you are, why would she stop you?"

Lin Ziyu sighed helplessly and muttered to himself, "I shouldn't have accepted that gift earlier..." He couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and then suddenly remembered something and continued to ask, "Should I tell Fifth Grandpa about this?"

Just then, footsteps were heard, and a burly orc in heavy armor slowly approached. He walked up to Long Yan, bowed respectfully, and said, "Long Shen, I pay my respects to Your Highness."

Long Yan nodded slightly and said gently, "No need to be polite."

Long Shen straightened up and reported solemnly, "Your Highness, Long An, the emperor's personal guard, has released the men we had imprisoned in the beast pen, bearing your order. However, one of them is the fifth prince of the human race. Your Highness, he claims we arrested him for no reason and are now trying to release him, but he refuses to do so. He demands to see your Majesty and demand an explanation."

Upon hearing this news, Long Yan frowned slightly, pondering inwardly. He suddenly realized that among the group of people who had stopped Lin Ziyu outside the imperial gardens was a member of the human royal family. So who had reported this to his father?

Meanwhile, after hearing Long Shen's words, Lin Ziyu suddenly realized something. It turned out that among those who had stopped him was a member of the royal family. No wonder the Third Princess had stopped him. It seemed like this wasn't just a coincidence.

"Long Shen, tell the human Fifth Prince that if he doesn't want to come out, he should stay in the beast prison," Long Yan said domineeringly. "Tell Long An that I'm going to the palace to see my father right now..." He continued, his voice revealing determination and confidence. It was as if he had already made up his mind about this decision and was not afraid of any consequences.

"Yes, Your Highness," Long Shen replied respectfully, a hint of awe flashing in his eyes. He then turned and left, doing what Long Yan had instructed.

After Long Shen left, Lin Ziyu slowly came back to his senses. His eyes fell on Long Yan, and then he said softly: "Long Yan, I'm going back first."

Long Yan nodded slightly, a look of concern in his eyes, and then he said softly: "Okay, I'll take you back." Before he finished speaking, he slowly stood up, took Lin Ziyu's hand, and walked out steadily.

Lin Ziyu looked puzzled and asked, "Long Yan, aren't you going to the palace?"

Long Yan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied, "It's okay. After I send you back, it won't be too late to go to the palace." He stared at Lin Ziyu, his eyes flashing with warmth, and continued, "Don't worry, I won't delay anything."

Lin Ziyu nodded slightly and said, "Okay then."

The two walked side by side out of the Prince's Mansion. Long Yan raised his finger and pointed forward, saying to Lin Ziyu, "From here, cross the street ahead and you'll reach your destination." He pointed to the nearby intersection, his tone firm and confident.

After hearing this, Lin Ziyu felt relieved. It turned out that the place Long Yan arranged for them to live was so close to the Prince's Mansion.

Long Yan and Lin Ziyu arrived at the residence together. After saying goodbye to Long Yan, Lin Ziyu returned to his room. He sat on the bed, thinking about what happened today. He was a little confused. Why did those people stop him?

Meanwhile, Long Yan, after seeing Lin Ziyu off, immediately headed for the palace. He wondered if today's incident was an accident, or if someone was deliberately creating conflict. What a coincidence! While he was waiting for Lin Ziyu outside, he saw someone trying to stop him and cause trouble. Although he didn't intervene, Long Shen and Long Si were both his subordinates.

Inside the palace, Long Yan stood respectfully before the Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Queen, detailing the events outside the imperial gardens. He mentioned how someone had stopped Lin Ziyu and attempted to provoke him, and how Long Shen had decisively captured them. He then described their encounter on their way back from the imperial gardens: a woman claiming to be the third princess of the human race had led a group of people to stop Lin Ziyu, offering them generous gifts and requesting he take her to see the orc prince.

After hearing Long Yan's report, the Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Queen frowned slightly, lost in thought. Their first thought was that Lin Ziyu was their son Long Yan's contracted partner, a fact not widely known. Then, they remembered that Lin Ziyu was from the Lincheng Lin family, whose most famous member was Lin Yaochen. At this point, the Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Queen exchanged a glance, their minds simultaneously conjuring up the idea of refining the Broken Mirror Pill.

The hidden intentions behind these two seemingly ordinary things are aimed at Lin Ziyu.

The Dragon Emperor looked at Long Yan, his eyes revealing a hint of worry and heaviness. He slowly said, "Yan'er, what are your thoughts on this incident?"

Long Yan frowned slightly, and after a moment's thought, he replied, "Father, Yan'er believes that if we stop Ziyu outside the royal gardens, a violent conflict may ensue, and he may be accidentally injured or even killed. Master Lin Yaochen will certainly investigate this matter. Then, how will we, the orcs, refine the Broken Mirror Pill? If we stop Ziyu halfway, there are only two possible outcomes. One is that he won't be able to see me, which will give them a reason to capture Ziyu. The other is that if they can see me, they can take the opportunity to ask me to release the people in the beast cage. Also, Father, the Fifth Prince in the beast cage wants to see you and doesn't want to come out. I have asked Long Shen to keep him there."

"Yan'er, well done." The Dragon Emperor nodded in satisfaction. "However, this matter may not be that simple. Why did the fifth human prince imprisoned in the beast prison insist on seeing me? Perhaps he has some ulterior motive. Our most urgent task right now is to understand their purpose."

Long Yan replied, "I understand. Now that the Fifth Prince refuses to come out, we cannot torture him. The people with him are probably useless."

The Dragon Queen interjected, "We might as well send someone to secretly observe the Third Princess, Qin Yaling, to see if we can find any clues. At the same time, we should also send more people to protect Ziyu's safety."

"Qing'er, you're absolutely right." The Dragon Emperor said to Long Yan, "Yan'er, I'll leave this matter to you. You must ensure Ziyu's safety. There must not be even a single mistake!"

"Father, Mother, I will." Long Yan replied.
