As a villain, it's perfectly reasonable for me to have a few hundred million different identiti

The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion appeared calm on the surface.

But the interior had already been renovated and was spotless.

Lin Yuan, dressed neatly, sat in the pavilion in the back garden, leisurely drinking tea.

Since becoming the Grand Elder of Qiu Lan Martial Academy.

Lin Yuan devoted himself to every task, personally handling all matters.

It's been a long time since I've felt this relaxed and carefree.

His eyes would occasionally glance towards the front hall, as if he were waiting for someone.

the other side.

Lin Yu slumped listlessly on the table in front of him.

He poked at the rice porridge in the bowl with the spoon in his hand, sometimes gently, sometimes slowly.

It was not yet dawn this morning.

He was pulled out of bed by Lin Yuan.

She spent a full hour getting ready, and then she was forced to stay here.

They said something big was going to happen.

Lin Yu yawned and complained, "Big thing? What could be bigger than my sleep?"

Sitting opposite him, Yue Qingying covered her mouth and chuckled softly.

Of course she knew what was going to happen today.

But it seems that Lin Yu doesn't care much.

Suddenly.

The voice of the chief steward of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion came through.

"My lord! The fourth elder of the Wu family has arrived and says that you must take the young master to the Wu family immediately!"

Before Lin Yuan could speak...

Lin Yu rolled her eyes. "Situ Yang? He's already begging us to go back?"

"No way! Let him go back to where he came from!"

Lin Yu, still grumpy from waking up, appeared quite impatient.

Lin Yuan paused as he was serving tea.

He frowned slightly.

Then he said calmly, "Let Situ Yang in."

Lin Yu remained slumped over the table, muttering with dissatisfaction, "Watching an old man cry so early in the morning?"

"I still want to go back to sleep... yawn!"

Lin Yuan glared at Lin Yu.

Then he muttered to himself, "This shouldn't be happening. Why would it be Situ Yang who came?"

"Could it be that the Overturning Sea Sword Saint is unaware that I have already left the Martial Academy...?"

At this moment, Situ Yang arrived at the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, which meant that the Overturning Sea Sword Saint had definitely arrived.

The fourteen states are in Qiulan Kingdom, although there are no temples there yet.

However, given the intelligence capabilities of the fourteen states, Ling Qiao could not possibly have kept what happened at Qiu Lanwu's residence yesterday from his eyes and ears.

When Lin Yuan took out the Xuanzhu Fruit to trade with the Fourteen Provinces, he witnessed the capabilities and methods of the Fourteen Provinces.

between heaven and earth.

A flower, a bird, an insect, a fish.

They could all become informants for the fourteen states, passing on intelligence.

Lin Yu slumped onto the table, looking utterly dejected.

Of course he knew what was going on.

It's definitely that troublemaker Shuanghan who's always stirring up trouble!

She just wanted to watch the show!

Look at how you acted like a simp, how you cried and begged to give away the fourteen states' spots!

Even if the people from Qiu Lanwu Mansion knew in advance that Ling Qiao was coming, it was definitely because Shuang Han had leaked the news beforehand.

Lingqiao definitely has a camera installed on him, broadcasting live to Shuanghan.

"When I see Shuanghan next time, I'm going to give that guy a good beating!"

Lin Yu felt a surge of resentment.

Of course, for the sake of that Xuanzhu Fruit, Ling Qiao might also be standing up for Lin Yuan.

Back when I was searching for the Xuanzhu Fruit, I caused quite a commotion.

Although Lin Yuan's Xuanzhu Fruit arrived a little late.

However, the Xuanzhu fruit is indeed rare.

……

After a while.

Situ Yang strode confidently and arrogantly into the backyard of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

He looked at the three generations of the family in front of him and said arrogantly, "By order of the Prefect, Lin Yuan, you must immediately take Lin Yu to the Martial Academy without delay!"

Lin Yu propped his chin up with his hand and raised his eyes indifferently: "Who does the Lord of the Manor think he is? Just because we're told to go, we'll go? Wouldn't that make us lose face?"

Situ Yang looked at Lin Yu with a stunned expression, seemingly trying to process the meaning of his words.

Yue Qingying explained from the side, "What my junior nephew means is, what is the Lord of the Manor? Does he deserve to order my master around like that?"

Situ Yang: "..."

His face instantly darkened.

"Lin Yuan, hurry up and come with me to the Martial Academy, or you'll be in big trouble and suffer the consequences!"

Before Lin Yuan could speak.

Lin Yu spoke again, "Didn't we agree on this yesterday?"

"Don't come crying and begging us to go back."

"Why did you change your mind today?"

"And is this how you beg for help?"

Lin Yuan nodded seriously.

Situ Yang's attitude really displeased him.

Is this the decree of the Prefect?

Lin Yu and Yue Qingying were right. Who did the manor lord think he was to issue decrees to him?

Situ Yang's face looked as if a palette of colors had been spilled.

It turned blue one moment, white the next, and then flushed bright red.

He also remembered what Lin Yu had said yesterday.

Don't cry and beg them to go back!

and so……

They knew the truth all along!

That's why they were so fearless.

Situ Yang gritted his teeth and said, word by word, "The Great Sword Saint of Overturning the Seas has arrived and is waiting for you in front of the Martial Academy!"

"Lin Yuan, Lin Yu! You two, grandfather and grandson, do you not take the Sword Saint seriously?"

Upon hearing the words "Overturning the Seas Sword Saint".

Lin Yu couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

They actually came.

seven years ago.

Lin Yu pulled the dying Ling Qiao out of the pile of corpses and casually tossed him to Yi Jian.

Although Lingqiao has never seen Lin Yu's true face.

To enhance the strength of the Fourteen Provinces, Lin Yu frequently visited various branches within the Fourteen Provinces to guide the members in their cultivation.

The stronger the fourteen states were, the faster they could expand.

The greater the help it would provide to Lin Yu.

Ling Qiao's talent was exceptional, so Lin Yu took special care of him.

Lingqiao did not disappoint Lin Yu.

In just seven years, he earned the title of the Overturning Sea Sword Saint.

What if he recognizes me...

No, I need to disguise myself properly!

I absolutely must not be recognized.

Lin Yu's divine sense instantly connected with the divine artifact Thousand Illusions in his palm.

At this moment, Lin Yuan finally spoke.

His tone carried a hint of amusement: "So, is it the Sword Saint's will, or the Lord of the Martial Academy's decree, that we, grandfather and grandson, are to go to the Martial Academy?"

Situ Yang: "..."

The lord of the manor had no decree; he simply wanted to show off his power within the Zhenguo Duke's manor.

They said that on purpose!

Situ Yang was clearly flustered. If that was the reason, Lin Yuan refused to go to the Martial Academy.

Then his crime would be very serious.

Situ Yang took a deep breath and said with a stern face, "What exactly do you want?"

Yue Qingying blinked. "Didn't my nephew say that?"

"Go and beg my master while you're crying."

Lin Yu nodded. "You haven't cried enough."

"Summon Situ Yun, and the other high-ranking members of the Martial Academy, to come here!"

"Right in front of the gates of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, they were crying and begging us to go to the Martial Academy!"

Situ Yang: "..."

He looked at Lin Yuan with an incredulous expression.

Lin Yuan paused for a moment, then clapped his hands and laughed: "Hahahaha...That's exactly right!"

Since we've already crossed the line, why bother saving face for the other party?

From yesterday to now.

Lin Yuan was seething with anger.

Although they didn't suffer any loss, the feeling of being schemed against for no reason was really unpleasant.

No wonder Lin Yu went to sleep as soon as he got back last night; he was waiting for them here.

As for the Overturning Sea Sword Saint...

Lin Yuan naturally had some confidence.

He obtained those fourteen quotas by exchanging a top-grade Heavenly Vermilion Fruit!

It is said that the Xuanzhu Fruit is needed by Lord Evernight, the leader of the fourteen states!

Now, even though the Overturning Sea Sword Saint knows he has already left the Martial Academy, he still sends people from the Martial Academy to invite him back...

Is he perhaps venting his anger?

Otherwise, the Overturning Sea Sword Saint would have come directly to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan straightened his back.

next moment.

Lin Yuan flicked his sleeve, and a tremendous force erupted.

They directly kicked Situ Yang out of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.

"Make Situ Yun lead the four elders of the Martial Academy to kneel in front of my Duke Zhenguo's mansion, crying and begging us to go back!"

"Otherwise, I, Lin Yuan, will never set foot in the Martial Academy!"
