Chapter 2710: Living With Me

The others, upon seeing Ye Liuyun, were also very puzzled, not knowing his background.

But in such a setting, they couldn't ask too many questions.

Only Lin feng zhi stepped forward and walked while chatting with Ye Liuyun.

Lin feng zhi, seeing the National Preceptor's demeanor and the princess's attitude toward Ye Liuyun, immediately guessed that Ye Liuyun had rendered great assistance to the princess on the battlefield.

As for how much he helped, he couldn't say clearly.

But the connections are never mistaken.

The others, seeing the National Preceptor and the Imperial Guard Deputy Capital Commander speaking courteously with Ye Liuyun, felt even more surprised.

Especially Left Prime Minister Lin Yao's son, Lin Chengzhou.

At first glance, seeing Ye Liuyun following the princess, he was instantly consumed by jealousy.

Now, seeing the National Preceptor and Lin feng zhi go up to greet her, his displeasure grew.

He is, after all, the Liulin Dynasty's top scholar; during this period he had been in seclusion cultivating, breaking his realm to the second Heaven‑Man level, and within the Liulin Dynasty he could be considered a master.

Moreover, he is both literary and martial, often accompanying the Left Prime Minister in state affairs, unlike other aristocratic youths, he never goes out to mingle.

Therefore, in reputation, status, and strength, Lin Chengzhou far surpasses his peers.

Even many major forces already regard him as the Left Prime Minister's successor.

He himself has also taken part in many interactions with higher‑ranking figures.

Left Prime Minister Lin Yao had long spoken with Liu Qianzhong, planning that Lin Chengzhou would become the princess's Prince Consort, and Liu Qianzhong had not objected at the time.

After all, in the Liulin Dynasty, there are not many promising youths like Lin Chengzhou.

The Liulin Dynasty has a tradition: the royal family is essentially composed of members of the Liu and Lin families, with few external marriages.

Even when a prince takes a wife, occasional outsiders may be mixed in, but none become the principal consort.

Thus, the princess, as the future queen, can only marry into a family bearing the Lin surname.

At this moment, Left Prime Minister Lin Yao brought Lin Chengzhou to congratulate the princess, then deliberately positioned Lin Chengzhou beside her.

Lin Chengzhou, a true talent in appearance, dressed splendidly, stood with the princess and matched perfectly, prompting the onlooking commoners to declare them a pair—a scholar and a beauty perfectly paired.

At this point, Lin Chengzhou felt very proud.

"The eyes of the common folk are truly sharp; even they acknowledge us as a pair! Hmph, that Martial Cultivator is nothing more than a supporting role!"

But Liu Yunyao felt somewhat repulsed by Lin Chengzhou standing beside her, and unable to ask him to leave, she could only turn to make idle conversation with the National Preceptor.

Ye Liuyun cast a glance at Lin Chengzhou.

Naturally, he had heard the murmurs of the commoners and thought Lin Chengzhou was being presumptuous, yet he refrained from acting out in such a setting, lest he spoil the atmosphere of welcoming Liu Yunyao, and thus held his tongue.

Liu Yunyao is now a confirmed heir to the throne, and those eyeing the future ruler are not limited to the Left Prime Minister's family.

Other factions also bring their own young talents to greet Liu Yunyao.

This left Liu Yunyao feeling rather helpless.

Ye Liuyun chuckled inwardly, thinking that the throne is not so easy to sit upon.

But he was merely discussing with Lin feng zhi the matter of the brown lion being poisoned, and mentioned that if the chance arose he could help Lin Xiaoxiao tame another ferocious beast.

Lin feng zhi also invited him to return to the Capital Commander's residence to live there; Ye Liuyun merely gave a noncommittal response, neither accepting nor declining.

In his Martial Cultivator attire, returning to the palace with Liu Yunyao would indeed be hard to explain.

Earlier neither he nor Liu Yunyao had considered this issue; he would wait to see how Liu Yunyao arranges it later.

Liu Yunyao rode back to the Royal Palace, and the crowd surrounding her gradually dispersed.

But the National Preceptor, Lin feng zhi, the Left Prime Minister and other factions friendly with Liu Yunyao remained.

Lin Chengzhou, seeing that Ye Liuyun showed no intention of leaving, his jealousy flared, and he proactively prompted Liu Yunyao: "Who is this person?

Do they intend to accompany you back to the palace?"

His words made Liu Yunyao, the National Preceptor and others all stare in surprise.

They thought he had been flattered by the commoners all the way and now was meddling in the princess's affairs.

Ye Liuyun looked at him with a half‑smile, half‑frown.

Liu Yunyao's smile remained, but at this moment it grew cold.

"Who does this princess intend to bring into the palace, and must she consult you about it?"

Liu Yunyao retorted coldly.

Left Prime Minister Lin Yao immediately defended his son: "The princess has just returned from the battlefield; bringing her attendants back to the palace as a reward is understandable, and there's no need for you to worry about her safety. She's been weary on horseback all the way and should rest in the palace; let's all disperse and not further disturb her rest!"

The others also stepped down the steps, echoing the sentiment, and prepared to disperse.

But Lin Chengzhou, seeing Ye Liuyun's expression toward him, could read the contempt and mockery without words.

He felt embarrassed to be mocked by an irrelevant minor figure, especially in front of Liu Yunyao.

Thus, he retorted indignantly: "The princess is about to inherit the throne, and having such an unknown Martial Cultivator by her side and bringing him back to the palace may tarnish her reputation…"

So they said indignantly: "The princess is about to inherit the throne, and she's bringing along a Martial Cultivator of unknown origin, and even wants to bring them back to the Royal Palace—I'm afraid it will affect the princess's reputation."

Everyone thought inwardly: "Lin Chengzhou usually isn't this rash; what's gotten into him today? He's even using the princess's reputation to threaten her!"

"Chengzhou, you're going a bit too far, aren't you? Young Master Ye is not an outsider!"

Even the National Preceptor could no longer stand by, not wanting to watch Lin Chengzhou court death.

Ye Liuyun has even eradicated the barbarians; why would he care about a Lin family?

He feared Ye Liuyun might lose his temper on the spot and kill Lin Chengzhou outright.

"Lin Chengzhou, you have such nerve! Trying to spread rumors about me?"

Ye Liuyun could even wipe out the barbarian tribes—would he still care about a Lin family?

He was terrified that Ye Liuyun would fly into a rage on the spot and directly kill Lin Chengzhou.

"Lin Chengzhou, you've got some nerve! You actually dare to spread rumors about me?"

You go ahead and say—what impact does it have on my reputation! »

Liu Yunyao also had a grim face and shouted at Lin Chengzhou.

The Left Minister also secretly cursed Lin Chengzhou for being useless, and hurriedly bowed to the princess to apologize to her.

"Princess, my son has always admired you; his intention was originally to show concern, but he spoke without thinking—please forgive him, Princess!"

Then he also scolded Lin Chengzhou: "Why aren't you hurrying to apologize to the princess!"

At the same time, he used Transmission Voice on Lin Chengzhou: "Idiot."

The princess's reputation—is it something you can just use to threaten?

Even if you find it displeasing, you have to bear with it; hurry up and apologize to the princess, then shut your dog's mouth!

Lin Chengzhou also had no choice but to bow and apologize to the princess.

Lin Qiwén had always thought highly of Lin Chengzhou, and now he also interceded for him: "Young man, you don't understand things; the princess need not take it to heart! Father Lin Yao, go punish him by making him reflect behind closed doors, and only let him out after he corrects his habit of speaking recklessly!"

"Yes, yes, we will definitely punish him severely!"

Left Minister Lin Yao also quickly stepped down from the platform, fearing to make a bigger issue of it.

"Forget it, Princess; today is a happy day, so don't stoop to his level!"

Others also urged you to intercede, so Liu Yunyao had no choice but to give up.

But seeing Ye Liuyun continually giving Lin Chengzhou a half-smile, she also knew Ye Liuyun was angry, restraining himself from acting.

So she deliberately went up to Ye Liuyun and said softly: "Forget it today; don't stoop to his level! You'll stay at my place tonight—I want to see who dares to spread rumors about me!"
