The Evil King's Favorite: The Princess Is Too Cruel

When Su Qingning came back, Mo Lintian had already left; and on the way back to Jinyuan, every member of the Su family she met looked at her strangely, which made her a little confused and puzzled.

It was not until Su Qingning returned to Jinyuan that she learned from her brother Su Qingyu what had happened during the time she was away.

"Sister, you're finally back." Su Qingyu ran to Su Qingning happily. He held her hand and walked into the yard, saying, "Sister, a handsome brother is here to see you today~"

"Handsome brother?" Su Qingning was puzzled.

"Yes!" Su Qingyu nodded her head and said, "My handsome brother has been here before. I remember you called him His Royal Highness Prince Lin."

Su Qingning was stunned and her mood suddenly became complicated. She regretted that she shouldn't have gone out today, and at the same time she felt a little unhappy.

Bastard Mo Lintian, the poison has just been cured and his body has not recovered yet. Why did he run out instead of staying at home to rest? He doesn’t cherish his body at all, he really deserves a beating!

Su Qingning beat Mo Lintian up in her heart, and only then did she feel a little better.

She raised her eyes and glanced around, but did not see the familiar figure. A trace of loss flashed in her eyes.

Although she knew in her heart that Mo Lintian should have left, Su Qingning still couldn't help but ask, "Where is he?"

"Pretty brother has already left!" Su Qingyu replied, "Pretty brother has been waiting for you here all morning! He was going to continue waiting, but suddenly a man named Eunuch Wu came to the house to look for him, saying that the emperor had summoned him, and then pretty brother left!"

The emperor summoned you?

Su Qingning frowned. Emperor Mo Linyuan knew that Mo Lintian had just been detoxified from the poison yesterday. Given his love for his brother, he should not summon Mo Lintian at this time.

Did something happen? Su Qingning was a little worried.

……

On the other side, after Mo Lintian arrived at the palace, he went straight to the imperial study.

However, apart from the Emperor Mo Linyuan, there was no one else in the Imperial Study. Mo Lintian didn't bother to greet him and asked directly, "Royal brother, where are the people from the Tiandao Sect?"

"I have arranged for them to stay in the palace." Mo Linyuan said with a somewhat ugly expression.

Mo Lintian noticed that Mo Linyuan's expression was not right, so he asked with concern: "Royal brother, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so unhappy?"

Speaking of this, Mo Linyuan was filled with anger. He snorted and said angrily, "It's all because of those people from the Tiandao Sect. They are so arrogant that they want to look down on others."

After hearing Mo Linyuan's complaints, Mo Lintian understood. It seemed that his royal brother had suffered a lot from the people in Tiandao Sect.

"Royal brother, why did people from the Tiandao Sect suddenly come to the imperial capital?" Mo Lintian asked.

"Alas!" Mo Linyuan sighed, his tone filled with distress and anger. "Isn't the Royal Secret Realm going to open in a few days? I don't know where the people from the Tiandao Sect got the news. After knowing that I agreed to allow the people from the five major families to practice there, they actually asked me to allow their disciples from the Tiandao Sect to practice there as well."

"So... the people from Tiandao Sect are coming for the Royal Secret Realm?" Mo Lintian frowned slightly, feeling that the purpose of Tiandao Sect's trip was not that simple.

"That should be it!" Mo Linyuan recalled what happened before. Apart from asking to enter the Royal Secret Realm, the people from Tiandao Sect did not mention any other people or things.

"Lintian, what's wrong? Why are you asking?"

"Nothing, maybe I'm overthinking it!" Mo Lintian shook his head slightly and said, "I just think that with the strength and status of the Tiandao Sect, they shouldn't care about a royal secret realm."

After hearing what Mo Lintian said, Mo Linyuan also felt that it made sense.

"Now that you mention it, there seems to be something wrong." Mo Linyuan frowned, his expression becoming grim again. "Just now, although the Tiandao Sect elder appeared to be smiling the entire time, the threat in his words was very clear, as if they would attack the Longteng Empire if I didn't agree to let them enter the Royal Secret Realm."

Hearing this, Mo Lintian frowned even more tightly, "Why do they insist on entering the Royal Secret Realm?"

"Could it be...that there is something they need there?" Mo Lintian guessed.

"Besides the rich spiritual energy, what else is there in the Royal Secret Realm..." Mo Linyuan was about to refute subconsciously, but he was stunned halfway through his words. He suddenly remembered that there was something very important in the Royal Secret Realm.

"Could it be that... they are here for that thing?" Mo Linyuan's face showed a solemn expression.

"Royal brother, what is that thing you are talking about?" Mo Lintian asked.

Mo Linyuan was silent for a moment, then looked at Mo Lintian and said two words in a deep voice, "Dragon Vein."

Dragon vein? !

Mo Lintian's pupils suddenly shrank, and he also realized the seriousness of the matter.

The dragon veins are the foundation of the Longteng Empire. If the dragon veins are lost, the Longteng Empire may be destroyed.

"Lintian, after entering the Royal Secret Realm in two days, you must keep a close eye on the people from the Tiandao Sect." Mo Linyuan warned with a serious expression: "No matter if they are coming for the dragon vein or not, they must not be allowed to get close to it."

"Yes, don't worry, Your Majesty. I will definitely protect the dragon vein." Mo Lintian promised solemnly, his eyes full of determination. He would never allow anyone to destroy his home or hurt his family.

……

At the same time, in the palace in the southwest corner of the imperial palace, people from the Tiandao Sect were discussing the trip to the royal secret realm two days later.

"Uncle Wang, is the dragon vein of the Longteng Empire really in the royal secret realm?" A girl about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a bright red dress, asked in a tender voice.

This Uncle Wang was none other than the Wang Shuting that Yu Hui had mentioned. He looked at the girl with respect and a kind smile. "Miss, don't worry. The news that the dragon vein is in the Royal Secret Realm is just the Sect Master's speculation. He meant for us to investigate and find the dragon vein's exact location, but he didn't require us to bring it back."

The girl is the granddaughter of the leader of Tiandao Sect, and is also the eldest daughter of Tiandao Sect, Wan Jiaojiao, who grew up with great care.

"That's true, but grandpa will definitely be happy if we can bring the dragon vein back." Wan Jiaojiao said, with a determined look on her face.

Wang Shuting saw the ambition in Wan Jiaojiao's eyes and knew that this young lady also wanted to compete with the young master for the position of clan leader.

Although Wang Shuting felt disdain in his heart, he did not show it, and his face still showed respect to Wan Jiaojiao.

"The eldest lady has this intention, I'm sure the sect leader will be very happy, but you just need to do your best in everything and never force it." Wang Shuting gave a hypocritical advice.
