I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

The two had parted on bad terms and hadn't seen each other since. If he didn't come to Mount Tai before reconciling with Lingyi, it would be tantamount to a real breakup.

That's why he insisted on coming here every day before.

They were good friends with no conflicts, so he naturally didn't want things to get too tense.

However, Lingyi's reaction had already said it all, and Lin Yi no longer needed to explain anything.

Lin Yi saw something unusual in Ling Yi's eyes.

Lingyi thought he needed to think carefully before he would realize her feelings.

In fact, Lin Yi could tell at a glance.

but……

Lin Yi didn't dare to respond to this feeling quickly.

So, he saw through it all, but pretended not to notice anything, and then talked to Lingyi about something else.

"I came here today to let you know I'm safe and sound. It's been a while since I last visited, and I was worried you might be concerned."

"I won't worry about you!"

Lingyi's words were not convincing.

Not long ago, she was so happy to see Lin Yi that she cried tears of joy, and the two hugged and kissed each other in a very improper manner.

To say now that she's not worried about Lin Yi would be far too arrogant.

Lin Yi didn't argue with her, but continued, "Although this war with foreign powers has largely ended, there are still many important things that I need to handle. I probably won't be coming back for a few more days."

"Come or don't come, it's up to you. Why are you telling me this? You don't think I'll wait for you, do you?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Stop being so arrogant.

However, no matter when, a pretty girl's arrogance is always endearing.

Of course, this is on the premise that Lin Yi knows about her shyness.

Lin Yi hadn't expected her to be so proud and aloof. After all, when they first met, she was a carefree and outgoing young woman.

She is innocent but not foolish, straightforward but not coy.

Lin Yi never expected her to turn out like this.

but……

She is indeed much cuter than before.

Lin Yi put aside his thoughts and said, "I have other things to do for the next while, and I don't know when I'll be able to come again."

Sure enough, upon hearing Lin Yi's words, Lingyi's mood immediately soured.

To avoid revealing her true feelings, she pretended to be nonchalant and said, "You must be a very busy person. What could be keeping you so busy?"

She may seem sarcastic, but she actually cares a lot about whether Lin Yi comes to see her or not.

Lin Yi sighed and said, "It's the same thing again."

The Eastern Yi have been pacified, but the problem of the Yuezhi remains unresolved.

This is also why Lin Yi sighed.

He went to annihilate the Eastern Yi, killing countless people, and he felt it was only right.

This is a counterattack to defend our homeland and carry out the most severe counterattack against the enemy.

But Lin Yi wasn't so confident about the Yuezhi.

The cause and effect are now clear, and it's actually quite obvious who is right and who is wrong.

The Yuezhi had always kept to themselves and the Shang Dynasty, but because of a beautiful princess, they were targeted by powerful nobles.

That's one thing, but in those times, it was common for women from larger tribes to be forcibly married into smaller ones.

Generally speaking, smaller tribes would be more tolerant, and for larger tribes to only go this far is hardly considered bullying.

But Li Hu's son, Li Long, did truly inhuman things.

The princess ran away, so you just massacred the entire village?

Finally, the Yuezhi were driven to desperation, and in their frenzied counterattack, they were completely annihilated.

Can we blame the Yuezhi for this?

Objectively speaking, Li Hu's son deserved to die.

The actions of the Yuezhi were a righteous counterattack.

Lin Yi thought so too.

Unfortunately, sometimes, one's perspective is determined by one's position.

Lin Yi is the king of Da Shang, so naturally he must prioritize the interests of Da Shang.

Only when a nation is powerful can it borrow the power of the mortal world to fight against the gods and immortals.

Therefore, in order to protect the Shang Dynasty, he had to quell the Yuezhi rebellion.

If the Yuezhi were not at peace, the people of the Shang Dynasty could not be united, and the authority of the king could not be established.

Once the Yuezhi are pacified, Lin Yi can naturally take over the power left behind by Li Hu's family.

Although Li Hu also joined one of Lin Yi's forces, the power in the hands of others is never as reliable as the power in one's own hands.

Most importantly, Lin Yi rarely performed miracles in public.

In this world, he was not very famous as the king of Shang.

The main problem is the lack of specific events that leave a lasting impression.

After Lin Yi led his eastern expedition, his fame spread rapidly.

His methods of annihilating the Dongyi were too violent and cruel, so the nearby tribes called him a tyrant.

It's heartbreaking to think that Lin Yi had done his best for the country's development, but before he could be called a Holy Lord, he was first given the title of Tyrant.

Closer to home.

Although Lin Yi was unwilling to attack the Yuezhi, he still chose to do so.

Whether considering personal interests or national interests.

He had no other choice.

However, Lin Yi was also very cautious.

Knowing that Li Hu had killed eight thousand people, Lin Yi knew that the enemy was not someone to be trifled with.

Therefore, it was unknown how long it would take to completely pacify the Yuezhi. Before parting, Lin Yi naturally wanted to say goodbye to Ling Yi properly.

Hearing him sigh, Lingyi asked him why.

Lin Yi didn't hide anything. Lingyi was one of the few people he could confide in, and chatting with her would make him feel much better.

After hearing the whole story, Lingyi's focus shifted somewhat.

"So, this whole war was because of finding you a queen?"

Lin Yi: "..."

That's a good summary; don't bother summarizing next time.

Doesn't this mean I'm being blamed for everything?

Lin Yi was about to correct her thinking when Ling Yi said very seriously, "If you captured the princess of the Yuezhi, would you bring her back to be your queen?"

Lin Yi: "..."

Is that all you're worried about?

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "The enmity between the Yuezhi and the Shang Dynasty is too great, so I can only try to kill as few people as possible."

"Even without this one, you'll still go find another princess, won't you?"

Lin Yi suddenly felt that Ling Yi had become somewhat dangerous at this moment.

One moment she's haughty and shy, too shy to express her feelings, and the next she's so direct, without any pretense.

Lin Yi felt that she had become very strange, and was not like the person she used to be at all.

But a young girl's heart is inherently fickle.

Shyness is just her outward appearance; in essence, this young girl has already fallen in love.

At this moment, Lingyi and Lin Yi were thinking completely different things...

Chapter 645 Can I Be Your Queen?

Although Lingyi's emotions are changeable, they are not without clues.

When she first saw Lin Yi, she was so excited that she hugged and touched him; it was the culmination of several days of emotions.

Emotions, as surging as the tide, will naturally recede after they rise.

Realizing what she had done, the girl was naturally incredibly shy, but she also acted haughtily.

When Lin Yi said goodbye, Lingyi felt a pang of reluctance.

Mentioning the matter of the princess served as a good reminder to Lingyi.

Lin Yi has reached the age of marriage for ordinary people. If she doesn't do something, even if Lin Yi doesn't choose the princess of the Yuezhi as his queen this time, he will eventually choose another one.

So she started acting aggressively again.

What seemed like an unreasonable tantrum at Lin Yi was actually a prelude to her own emotional outburst.

Lin Yi sensed that Ling Yi's questions seemed to be brewing something.

But he treated it as a routine question and replied, "What you said isn't wrong."

He was the ruler of a country, and he was confident that he could make his own decisions about his marriage.

However, for the sake of the overall interests, he would not reject a political marriage.
