Chapter 361: with translation of chapter title

Even in the future, when everyone mentions Lin Xueyan, they will inevitably think of this matter!

"Xueyan, you truly are my good daughter!" Lin Zhishang's face was full of excitement, his gaze upon Lin Xueyan filled with pride.

Such an outstanding, peerless woman is his Lin Zhishang's daughter!

All fathers in the world would surely envy him for having such an outstanding daughter, wouldn't they?

"Xueyan, we truly feel proud of you!"

Lin Mother looked at Lin Xueyan, feeling honored.

"Sister, at the state banquet in three days, you will surely astonish everyone and become a legend!" Lin Xuewei grasped Lin Xueyan's hand, unable to contain her excitement. She felt proud to have such an outstanding sister. When the state banquet arrives, she will stand beside her sister, so that everyone can see her, Lin Xuewei!

"Your Majesty, Fu San has sent word that Yaowang Valley agrees to lend us the Soul-Attracting Pearl." Fu Er reported to Fu Hanxiu.

He received Fu Hanxiu's severe punishment, but this punishment will only begin after he returns to Zhu Lu Peak.

Fu Hanxiu heard this and was momentarily stunned.

He had prepared himself, expecting Yaowang Valley to refuse or to negotiate terms with him.

"I didn't expect Yaowang Valley to be so quick." Yaowang Valley's attitude was beyond his expectations.

"Furthermore, the three neighboring monarchs of Donglin will arrive in Xiliang City in two days; the Donglin Emperor has ordered a state banquet. Your Majesty, you are also among the invited."

A gleam flashed in Fu Hanxiu's eyes.

It's not that this event is particularly grand. After all, as the Emperor Sovereign of Zhu Lu Peak, what grand scene has he not seen?

The rulers of the three petty states of the Central Region are nothing to him.

However...

This state banquet, however, is a good opportunity.

"Coincidentally, I have been considering how to announce to the world that Xiao Hu and Xiao Chen are my offspring; this state banquet comes at just the right time."

Fu Hanxiu's offspring naturally must be made known to the world.

That way, no clueless person will dare to curse them as wild offspring.

Fu Er's eyes flickered.

"Your Majesty, will you recognize Xiao Hu at this state banquet?"

He too had only just learned of this matter. When he first found out, he was shocked beyond words.

It turns out Ye Qingran is the young master's mother, and Xiao Hu is Your Majesty's bloodline!

"However, Your Majesty, since you already know that Lin Xueyan is not the young master's lifesaver, why not..." Fu Er's body surged with killing intent.

He regarded Lin Xueyan as the young master's benefactor for five years, never expecting her to be a wolf in sheep's clothing! Clearly it was she who snatched the young master from Ye Qingran, yet she deceived the entire Zhu Lu Peak for five years!

His heart was filled with boundless hatred for Lin Xueyan.

"Who says This Sovereign won't kill her?" Fu Hanxiu's eyes were icy, dark aura swirling around him.

Just thinking of five years ago, when Lin Xueyan ripped open Ye Qingran's belly and dug out their child, he couldn't help but want to tear Lin Xueyan apart limb from limb.

But killing her outright would be letting her off too easily.

"This Sovereign will have her publicly admit her crimes at this state banquet!" This also counts as giving Ye Qingran an explanation.

"This Sovereign will not lift a finger; I will hand her over to Ye Qingran to deal with!"

Fu Hanxiu recalled that day, when Ye Qingran told him that a major reason for keeping Lin Xueyan was Zhu Lu Peak.

This time, Lin Xueyan will have no Zhu Lu Peak behind her; Ye Qingran can take revenge without restraint!

"Go tell Lin Xueyan not to disgrace Zhu Lu Peak."

Fu Er stared blankly, for a moment not understanding Fu Hanxiu's meaning.

"Your Majesty doesn't even acknowledge Lin Xueyan as a person of Zhu Lu Peak, so why tell her not to disgrace Zhu Lu Peak?"

Fu Er looked at Fu Hanxiu in confusion, but soon understood.

The three national lords have come this time for Lin Xueyan, ultimately because of the Zhu Lu Peak behind her.

Lin Xueyan will surely exert herself fully and shine brilliantly this time.

Originally, because of Your Majesty's presence, she dared not go too far; but with Your Majesty's words, she will surely think Your Majesty supports her and will act without restraint.

There's a saying: the higher you fly, the harder you fall.

After Fu Er figured it out, he went to the Lin Manor.

"Your Majesty, are you really saying this?"

Lin Xueyan felt somewhat overwhelmed by the favor.

"Not bad." Fu Er nodded.

Lin Xueyan restrained her inner excitement and thanked Fu Er, "Thank you for making the trip especially for me."

Fu Er nodded slightly, his attitude noticeably less enthusiastic than before.

Lost in her joy, Lin Xueyan didn't pay him any heed.

"This is wonderful! Your Majesty actually does value me!"

After Fu Er left, Lin Xueyan no longer suppressed her nature; her excited expression showed on her face.

"Miss, what does Your Majesty's words mean?"

Lin Xueyan curled her lips into a proud smile: "Can't you tell? Your Majesty telling me not to disgrace Zhu Lu Peak is tantamount to acknowledging I am of Zhu Lu Peak. Moreover, since he specially sent Fu Er to remind me, it shows his support. As long as I don't disgrace Zhu Lu Peak, Your Majesty will blame me for nothing I do!"

Lin Xueyan finished speaking, her eyes brimming with unusual color.

"She could hardly imagine how much attention she would draw at this state banquet!"

"Congratulations, Miss! It seems you are another step closer to becoming the mistress of Zhu Lu Peak!"

Upon hearing the three words 'mistress', Lin Xueyan's eyes were filled with determination to succeed.

She, Lin Xueyan, will one day become the mistress of Zhu Lu Peak!

Beside them, Lin Xuewei was still immersed in the shock from earlier.

"Sister, that person just now, really was a subordinate of the Emperor Sovereign of the Peak of the Hunt?"

"That's right." Lin Xueyan nodded, "His name is Fu Er, and he's the Emperor Sovereign's personal guard!"

Lin Xuewei's face was full of yearning.

"Sister, I heard that the Emperor Sovereign of the Peak of the Hunt has always been in Xiliang City; where exactly is he? How come I've never seen him?"

Originally Lin Xueyan dared not easily reveal the Emperor Sovereign's whereabouts. But after Fu Er's words just now, she became unabashed.

She curved the corner of her lips, smiled mysteriously, "I'll tell you the truth, the Emperor Sovereign of the Peak of the Hunt, in Xiliang City his identity is..."

Lin Xueyan slowly leaned close to Lin Xuewei's ear.

"What? The National Master is the Emperor Sovereign of the Peak of the Hunt?!"

Lin Xuewei was stunned!

"No wonder! I told you, the National Master's temperament is so extraordinary, completely crushing His Majesty's aura; so he is indeed the Emperor Sovereign of the Peak of the Hunt!"

Recalling the National Master's handsome and extraordinary appearance and his incomparable noble aura, Lin Xuewei's heart fluttered.

She silently resolved in her heart to dress up nicely, and when the state banquet arrived, to use all her charms to attract the National Master's gaze; if she could become his woman, then later she and her sister could serve the Emperor Sovereign together—a beautiful tale, wouldn't it be?

Fu San retrieved the Soul-Attracting Pearl from Yaowang Valley, hurrying back and forth, and finally returned to Xiliang City the day before the banquet.

When Fu San handed the Soul-Attracting Pearl to Fu Hanxiu, Ye Qingran of Ting Yu Xuan also learned of the news.

She called Fu Qianchen and Mo Xiaohu over.

"Xiao Hu, didn't mother promise you that she would find father?"

"Mother, have you found father?"
