Chapter 2687: Frank and Open

"Yes."

He has no cultivation realm; his only skill is fortune-telling, and his previous predictions were all accurate.

Father King values him greatly.

For any major matter, when making decisions, they always consult him.

Liu Yunyao replied worriedly.

"Don't worry, I don't see him as having any hostility."

Ye Liuyun then comforted Liu Yunyao.

He felt no hostility from Lin Qiwén; instead, he sensed that Lin was somewhat uneasy.

After they entered the Grand Hall, Lin Qiwén's gaze stayed on Ye Liuyun the whole time, and only then did he greet the princess.

"Princess, I dare to intrude and disturb you!"

Lin Qiwén bowed to the princess.

"National Preceptor, no need for formalities! It's an honor that you've come here. I've brought the person; I don't know what advice you have for me?"

Liu Yunyao was slightly polite, then got straight to the point.

Ye Liuyun, facing the National Preceptor, did not bow, merely nodded slightly, then stood beside the princess.

As the princess's personal guard, he didn't have to bow to the National Preceptor.

From the moment Ye Liuyun entered, the National Preceptor kept watching him.

Although Ye Liuyun changed his appearance and wore guard attire, his bearing and demeanor could not hide his extraordinary nature.

Lin Qiwén also did not hide it, directly stating his purpose: "When the princess was selecting a demon beast, she heeded this guard's advice; the king took notice and had me investigate this guard's background."

So I went back and first cast a divination.

I discovered this person is not ordinary; he could greatly benefit our Liulin Dynasty.

But this person must not be disturbed by us, or else he will bring great disaster to the dynasty!

After Lin Qiwén said that, Liu Yunyao's face turned pale with fright.

If what the National Preceptor says is truly that important, he will surely report it to the Father King, and perhaps the Father King will then intervene against Ye Liuyun, bringing disaster to the dynasty.

Ye Liuyun's strength is far beyond what their dynasty can oppose.

Based on what Ye Liuyun gave her, she knows their Liulin Dynasty is no match for him.

She didn't understand Lin Qiwén's meaning, so for a moment she dared not speak, waiting for his continuation.

But Lin Qiwén said nothing, instead staring at Ye Liuyun, as if wanting to hear his opinion.

Ye Liuyun, seeing this, also spoke directly: "Since the National Preceptor has already figured it out, why bother asking the princess?"

If you are confident in your calculation, just casually reply to the king and tell him to stop paying attention to me.

If you yourself lack confidence, you can go ahead and report to the king to try.

See whether, if you intervene in my affairs, it will bring disaster to the dynasty!

Upon hearing this, Lin Qiwén did not get angry; instead, he nodded, indicating agreement with Ye Liuyun's words.

"For my part, I also intend this; for the dynasty's fate, hiding some things from the king is not blameworthy."

"But I am simply curious: where do you come from, what do you intend, and how did you get beside the princess?"

He frankly expressed his thoughts and raised his concerns, clearly wanting to have a good talk with Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun then stepped forward, no longer concealing, speaking frankly to Lin Qiwén: "Senior, don't worry; I'm here only to seek some resources, with no intention of getting entangled with your Liulin Dynasty."

"It just so happened that I encountered the princess in trouble, so I helped her and earned her favor."

"She is now my woman, so I will protect her safety and help her ascend the throne to fulfill her wish—that's all."

"Moreover, I will not stay here long."

"As for whether Yunyao will go with me when the time comes, that's up to her to decide."

"If she doesn't go with me, I will still come back often to see her."

After hearing Ye Liuyun's words, Lin Qiwén pondered a moment and then asked: "What if the king does not want to pass the throne to the princess?"

"After all, most people still think women are inferior to men!"

Ye Liuyun also said: "I only look at Yunyao's choice."

"If she wants to ascend the throne, then the Liulin king cannot stop her."

"If she wants to give up and go with me directly, I have no objection."

"Do you have the power to destroy the Liulin Dynasty?"

Lin Qiwén immediately pressed further.

"Don't mention just your Liulin Dynasty—I could make the entire Double Dynasty Star System vanish forever."

"The planets you lose would all be taken by me."

"But I only take uninhabited planets, so I don't want to harm the innocent."

Ye Liuyun also said without modesty.

"Let them know my strength, so as to deter them from acting rashly."

Lin Qiwén fell completely silent.

"His suspicions have basically been confirmed—Ye Liuyun's strength is not something they can provoke."

"To block Ye Liuyun would be for the Liulin Dynasty to bring about its own doom."

"Not only that, but it would affect all the people of the entire Double Dynasty Star System."

"Ye Liuyun has not yet harmed any civilians on any planet, showing he is not a wanton killer."

"But once Ye Liuyun is angered, he will not leave these resources for them."

"At that point, it will be utter devastation among living beings, equivalent to a cataclysmic disaster."

He let out a long sigh, then slowly assured Ye Liuyun: "I will hide your situation from the Great King!"

Ye Liuyun nodded, said nothing more, and returned to stand beside the princess.

"Thank you, National Teacher!"

Liu Yunyao then expressed her gratitude to the National Teacher.

The National Teacher, however, shook his head helplessly: "You should thank him for not being an indiscriminate killer! For the princess to gain the favor of such a person is truly a fortunate thing."

"I hope the princess will consider the common people more in the future and bring blessings to all under heaven!"

After saying that, Lin Qiwén still performed a great salute to the princess, causing Liu Yunyao to have to rise and help the National Teacher up.

Lin Qiwén clearly understood that Ye Liuyun didn't care at all about their Liulin Dynasty, or even their double dynasty star system.

His attitude toward the people here depends entirely on Liu Yunyao.

That's why he asked Liu Yunyao to consider the common people more.

"Your Excellency, may I know your name?"

Lin Qiwén asked Ye Liuyun.

For the Divination Master, knowing the name allows a more accurate calculation of Ye Liuyun's fate trajectory.

Liu Yunyao also immediately sent a transmission voice to Ye Liuyun, telling him this information.

Ye Liuyun, however, had no taboo about this matter.

"My name is Ye Liuyun!"

He directly told Lin Qiwén.

"Thank you! I, the old man, take my leave—sorry for disturbing you two!"

Lin Qiwén also didn't ask further, directly taking his leave and departing.

"You told him your name—aren't you afraid he'll calculate your affairs?"

After Lin Qiwén left, Liu Yunyao anxiously asked Ye Liuyun.

"So what if he works it out?"

Ye Liuyun replied indifferently.

"All right! You're impressive!"

Liu Yunyao was also completely speechless.

Being strong just makes him this arrogant; the Liulin Dynasty really can't do anything about him.

After returning to his residence, Lin Qiwén took out the tortoise shell again, wanting to calculate Ye Liuyun's future, but the tortoise shell in his hand simply would not fall.

"Although I know the name, even if I calculate something, I cannot change the outcome."

"On the contrary, peeking at heavenly secrets easily invites heavenly punishment!"

"This divination must not be calculated!"
