Chapter 635: Look for Your Own Problems
Nangong Buhui's expression changed wildly.
Nangong Jing's words had already made it very clear.
If Ye Lin's matter was not handled well, then he, the Second Imperial Prince Nangong Buhui, would never have a chance at the throne from this day on.
The other five Imperial Princes all wore expressions of schadenfreude; they were suddenly looking forward to Ye Lin's arrival.
Being sent to guard the ancestral lands meant the Second Imperial Prince would never have a chance to return to the Imperial Capital, and they would have one fewer powerful rival.
"This son... accepts the decree!"
Nangong Buhui gritted his teeth, his guts practically turning green with regret.
He had never expected that sending Yan Fan to recruit Ye Lin would end up poking such a massive hornet's nest.
The most urgent priority now was to immediately go and consult with his advisors on how exactly to deal with this fellow, Ye Lin!
On the other side, Ye Lin led his people straight toward the Imperial Capital.
What Ye Lin found strange was that the garrison along the way had no intention of stopping him; instead, they let him pass the moment they saw him.
"Strange, could it be that the people of the Raging Sea Dynasty already know Xu Minxuan's true identity?"
Ye Lin was somewhat puzzled, but he quickly dismissed this conjecture.
If they truly knew that Xu Minxuan was an inner sect disciple, they certainly wouldn't just let him pass; the Emperor of the Raging Sea Dynasty would likely have come to welcome them personally.
The current situation seemed more like some change had occurred that Ye Lin was unaware of.
"What a pity..."
Ye Lin sighed; he had been hoping to kill some people on the way to liven things up.
But this was fine too; the Human Emperor Flag hadn't been repaired yet, so killing people now would be somewhat of a waste.
The Longevity Continent was not like his original world; it was better not to casually stir up a desire to kill.
He brought Liu Ruyan and the others successfully to the Imperial Capital.
The Imperial Capital of the Raging Sea Dynasty was extremely imposing, with even the city walls painted in vermilion lacquer. Looking from afar, everything was resplendent with gold and jade.
Just as they arrived at the gate of the Imperial Capital, someone took the initiative to walk toward Ye Lin and spoke coldly.
"You are Ye Lin, right? The Second Imperial Prince requests your presence!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin's face lit up with joy; he had finally waited for this, and the journey here had been stifling!
"Request your grandmother's leg!"
With a bang, Ye Lin flew into a kick, sending the man flying directly.
The man's body traced a graceful parabola and slammed heavily into the city wall, creating a large crater in the Imperial Capital's wall.
This sudden scene drew the attention of everyone near the city gate, and everyone couldn't help but look at Ye Lin.
Causing trouble at the gate of the Raging Sea Dynasty's Imperial Capital—was this person tired of living?
"I am the director of the Yihong Zoo, Ye Lin!"
"I am an honest, law-abiding businessman who works from dawn till dusk, just wanting to run my zoo well and bring joy to the families of Lingquan County!"
"But the Imperial Princes of the Raging Sea Dynasty bully others by abusing their power! Relying on being princes, they wanted to forcibly take over my zoo! When I refused, they sent troops to massacre my zoo staff!"
"I, Ye Lin, have come to the Imperial Capital today to do only three things!"
"Justice!"
"Justice!"
"And more fucking justice!"
"I must obtain justice for my zoo staff!"
Having said that, Ye Lin had people bring up the three demon fox corpses, all of which he had frozen in Extreme Ice Coffins.
His voice was very loud, spreading almost throughout the entire Imperial Capital.
Soon, many people gathered toward the Imperial Capital gate, though they were not there to support Ye Lin, but to watch him make a fool of himself.
Are you kidding? You run a zoo and come to the Imperial Capital to sue an Imperial Prince? Who gave you the guts? Who is the person below the dais accusing this official?
Seeing that enough people had gathered, Ye Lin immediately raised his hand to gather lightning.
The massive, imposing thunder radiated a majestic heavenly might, dancing above his head.
"If I cannot obtain justice today, I, Ye Lin, will not regret it even if I splatter the Imperial City with blood!"
This scene immediately gave everyone present a fright.
"Holy crap, starting off with a forbidden technique? I thought this guy was an idiot, but he's actually a reckless hothead who fears nothing!"
"Haven't you heard? This guy killed every single member of the Lingquan County garrison!"
"He's fierce! Looks like there's a real show to watch today. No, I need to swap to a new recording stone to record this; the new ones have clearer images."
"What about the old one?"
"Throw it away."
The onlookers discussed among themselves, their eyes gleaming.
The Second Imperial Prince Nangong Buhui cursed as he rushed toward the Imperial Capital gate.
He had originally set up a trap, intending to invite Ye Lin to his manor to see if he could be recruited, and if not, to smash a cup as a signal to kill him.
He hadn't expected this fellow to cause such a huge commotion the moment he arrived, completely disrupting his plans.
After arriving at the city gate, the Second Imperial Prince originally wanted to go out and find Ye Lin, but he suddenly saw several familiar figures in the crowd.
"Fa..."
The moment the first character left his mouth, Nangong Jing glared at him, and Nangong Buhui hurriedly swallowed the word "Father."
Nangong Jing was in plain clothes, clearly wanting to blend into the crowd to watch his performance.
Nangong Buhui looked around the vicinity again, and sure enough, the other Imperial Princes had also brought people and were mixed into the crowd.
If he failed to handle Ye Lin's matter well today, his power would likely be carved up by these brothers.
The struggle for the heir apparent had always been like this.
The Second Imperial Prince Nangong Buhui took a deep breath and led his men out of the city gate.
"Ye Lin, I have heard your name so many times; I have finally met you in person." The Second Imperial Prince greeted him with a smile.
"Cut the crap. I came today to obtain justice for my staff!" Ye Lin shouted sternly.
The Second Imperial Prince's expression stiffened; he hadn't expected Ye Lin to give him no face at all, but thinking of Nangong Jing watching from behind, he suppressed his anger and squeezed out a smile.
"Ye Lin, as long as you are willing to work for me, I guarantee that the matter in Lingquan County will be let bygones be bygones, how about that?"
"Working for you is fine, but there is one problem: what should be done about my three dead staff members?" Ye Lin tilted his head and asked.
"For the sake of a mere three fox demons, are you truly going to be this stubborn? Why don't you look for your own problems?" The Second Imperial Prince also lost his patience and directly questioned Ye Lin.
"Three staff members died, why don't I look for my own problems?"
Ye Lin sneered upon hearing this, instantly switching to his combat face.
"Why don't you look for your own problems for not being able to become the Emperor?"
"Why don't you look for your own problems for the garrison you governed in Lingquan County being wiped out?"
"Why don't you look for your own problems for being beaten up by the First and Third Imperial Princes together?"
"Why don't you look for your own problems for your forces being eroded by the other princes and you being about to be kicked out of the game?"
"Why do the First and Third Imperial Princes bully only you? Why are you the worst off among the six princes? Why don't you look for your own problems for all of that?"
"You 【expletive】, 【expletive】, always telling me to look for my own problems, look for my own problems—my staff have been killed, how am I supposed to look for my own problems!"
