Chapter 218: Fiery Princess
The meal was a cheerful affair. After the banquet, Wang Yi and his two sons escorted Master Wu and his disciple all the way to the Wang Family’s gate. Lu Tao also invited Lin Yun to meet in the Imperial Palace the next day, explaining that he would send a carriage to pick him up, as Lin Yun wouldn’t be able to enter otherwise.
Lin Yun had already guessed that Lu Tao was up to no good, but since there was something he needed Lu Tao for, he decided to go to the Imperial Palace the next day anyway. ’What kind of trouble could a petty dandy possibly cause?’
After seeing off Master Wu and his disciple, the members of the Wang Family went their separate ways. Only Wang Tianwen accompanied Wang Yi to discuss some matters. Now that Wang Tianwen had fully recovered, Wang Yi naturally placed more importance on him.
Watching Wang Tianwen’s departing figure, Wang Tianwu left with a dark expression. The moment his brother had recovered, their father had pulled him away for a private discussion. It was clear his father’s perception of Wang Tianwen had changed significantly.
"Master, I’d like to invite Brother Lin Shan to the Imperial Palace for a meeting tomorrow," Lu Tao said to Master Wu, who was sitting with him in the carriage.
At his words, Master Wu nodded slightly. Lin Yun was one of the ten great geniuses of the Yanhuang List, and he was still only at the Second Layer of Qi Sea Realm, giving him immense room for growth. Even he couldn’t predict just how far Lin Yun might go. Master Wu naturally supported getting closer to such a talent.
"Yes, that young man, Lin Shan, is quite remarkable. It would do you no harm to grow closer to him. How about this? I’ll have someone pick him up tomorrow. That will make it easier for him to enter the Imperial Palace," Master Wu said.
Hearing his master’s reply, Lu Tao laughed gleefully in his heart. ’Tomorrow, once we’re in the Imperial Palace... Lin Shan, you’ll be wrapped around my little finger.’
Exhausted from the long day, everyone returned to their rooms and quickly fell into a deep sleep. Lin Yun, however, began his daily cultivation.
The next morning, just as Lin Yun finished breakfast, word came that Master Wu’s carriage had already arrived. Lu Tao was apparently waiting for him in the Imperial Palace.
