It goes without saying that he possessed a strong aura of malevolence, after all, he was a warrior on the battlefield, but the resentment emanating from him was no less than that of Lin Jing.

The commotion here was enormous. Liu Dufeng, the chief constable of the Six Doors, Guo Juxia, the advisor, Zhu Wushi of the Dragon Guard Villa, and Zhuge Zhengwo of the Divine Marquis's Mansion, along with all the guards protecting the security of the capital, were present.

Seeing Lin Zhu stepping on the Duke of Lin and suppressing Qin Hui, he was initially furious.

But upon recognizing Lin Zhu, his anger vanished instantly.

'No, how did these three offend him?'

One by one, they hurried forward, cupped their hands in greeting, and said, "We greet the Heavenly King who protects the nation."

"Alright, alright, no need for so much formality. There's no need to stand on ceremony, especially since one of you is my elder." Lin Zhu waved his hand and pointed at the three of them, saying, "You guys should investigate these three thoroughly. They're obviously no good."

"What? It's King Lin!"

Some onlookers couldn't help but shout out.

"King Lin has stood up for us common people! You are a just and upright official! The Lin family has caused great harm. We urge you, sirs, to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Upon hearing Lin Zhu's name, the surrounding people all knelt down.

Liu Dufeng's expression turned somewhat grim. He valued the law above all else, and he was very displeased with people like Lin Zhu who resorted to private punishment.

This can be considered as addressing the issue rather than the person.

Lin Zhu seemed to have seen through his thoughts and said, "I want to cripple their martial arts."

"No!" Liu Dufeng hurriedly stopped him, "The law does not apply to doctors! King Lin, do not make a grave mistake."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhu's face turned completely cold, and she said in an icy tone, "What did you say?"

Liu Dufeng said, "This is the ancestral precept of our Great Zhou Dynasty, and no one may disobey it."

Zhuge Zhengwo, Zhu Wushi, and Guo Juxia felt a chill run down their spines. 'This is bad!'

Before they could stop him, Lin Zhu had already made his move, striking out with a finger and shattering the dantian and qi sea of ​​the three men. Then he said, "Now? How about that?"

"You!" Liu Dufeng's eyes widened in anger.

Lin Zhu waved his hand, pushing the three of them in front of Zhuge Zhengwo. "I'll leave this matter to the two Divine Marquises. What do you say? I believe the court will give me this face."

Dare you not give it to me? Don't you even consider your own reputation, and those other powerful figures behind you?

Their data hasn't been updated yet, but Lin Zhu has already reached the Land Immortal Realm, and is even above them.

Zhuge Zhengwo and Zhu Wushi said in unison, "Leave it to us, Your Majesty, please rest assured."

"My lords, you..."

Guo Juxia reached out and pressed Liu Dufeng's shoulder, then shook his head.

Liu Dufeng wasn't stupid; he knew that so-called legal principles couldn't restrain Lin Zhu.

People like Lin Zhu can only be restrained by morality, but not kidnapped.

The three were taken away. Before they left, Lin Zhu specifically instructed them to investigate Qin Hui thoroughly.

As for the servants of the Duke of Lin's mansion, they were handed over to the Six Doors.

Liu Dufeng wanted to say that his Six Doors was not a garbage dump, and his expression became even uglier.

Lin Zhu stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder. "It's okay to abide by the law, but not to the point of being blind to it. You should also investigate these servants thoroughly, and cooperate with the Divine Marquis's Mansion and the Dragon Guard Manor."

Liu Dufeng was very frustrated and wanted to ask why.

Lin Zhu continued, "After everything is thoroughly investigated, I can guide you on your future path. It's been so long, and you still haven't broken through to the pinnacle."

It refers to Liu Dufeng, the great hero Guo, who has broken through to the pinnacle using the Surging Waves Palm technique.

Liu Dufeng wanted to say he didn't need to, but seeing that Guo Juxia didn't stop him this time, he held back and looked at Xing Yusen, who was still somewhat dazed, "You, you, hurry up and take him away."

"Hey, hey, it's you, sir!" Xing Yusen shuddered and quickly ordered his men to take the people off the ground.

Lin Zhu said to Guo Jing, "Master Guo, I think these three are quite good and can be put to more use."

He pointed to Xing Yusen, Shen Lian, and Jin Yichuan as he spoke.

"Oh!" Guo Jing nodded thoughtfully to Lin Zhu and said, "We understand."

The three men shuddered, Xing Yusen's inner turmoil particularly intense. 'A blessing in disguise? I, Old Xing, have just met a benefactor on my journey!'

This made me even more motivated to do the work.

Liu Dufeng's gaze shifted to Zhou Miaotong, "Is this the victim?"

Zhou Miaotong snapped out of her daze; she never expected that the person who saved her would be the legendary King Lin.

She gave a graceful bow and said, "This humble woman, Zhou Miaotong, greets the Heavenly King and the two gentlemen."

Guo Jing thought for a moment and said, "The young lady from the Zhou Imperial Censor's family?"

"Yes!" Zhou Miaotong nodded. His father was just a minor official in the Censorate. He was called a censor out of respect, but he was just a seventh-rank official who couldn't even enter the imperial court.

Guo Jing said, "I may need to summon you later."

"Yes, my lord."

Chapter 617 The Desolate Tongfu Inn

After the farce ended, Lin Zhu smacked his lips, seemingly without any sense of satisfaction from showing off or getting his face slapped. Instead, seeing the resentment swirling around Lin Lu and his son, he felt incredibly choked up.

If he hadn't committed so many evil deeds, he would never have been entangled with so much resentment.

If this were in the Chenxuan Realm, even ghost generals could be conceived.

Lin Zhu looked at Zhou Miaotong and said, "Where do you live? I'll take you home."

Zhou Miaotong looked up at Lin Zhu, wanting to say that she had no way to repay the life-saving grace, and that she wanted to repay him with her body.

But I didn't dare say it out loud, feeling that I wasn't worthy.

After thinking for a moment, she mustered her courage and asked, "Does Your Highness need any maids?"

"Huh?" Lin Zhu was taken aback. "What, you want to be my maid? Don't be ridiculous. You're a daughter of an official, after all. Although you're not the richest, you're not the poorest either. There's no need for that."

Zhou Miaotong's mood immediately plummeted. "Does the prince look down on me?"

"No, that's not it. I'm not used to being waited on. If I were to live a nomadic life, I would only be exposed to the elements if I followed me," Lin Zhu said, refusing Zhou Miaotong's offer.

"I'm willing." Zhou Miaotong's statement was selective hearing.

"Willing to what?" Lin Zhu was dumbfounded. He hadn't even asked Zhou Miaotong if she was willing!

Not far away, Liu Feng and his men were still "unconscious," thinking to themselves, 'When should I get up? The God of Arrest and the Advisor didn't even call me before they left. But Lin Tianwang's move was brilliant—a hero rescuing a damsel in distress, offering himself in return. I've learned it, I've learned it. Right, that was Xing Yusen from West Street; looks like I'll have to befriend him in the future.'

Zhou Miaotong said directly, "I am willing to endure wind and rain with you, Your Highness." She was a decisive person and knew that if she didn't seize this opportunity, she would never have another one.

So what if she's a maid? So what if she lives a life of hardship? Being able to see her face every day is an immense blessing.

"I'll take you home!" With that, he habitually took Zhou Miaotong's hand and pulled her away.

Zhou Miaotong was stunned for a moment when she realized she had been held in the hand. Her heart started pounding and her face began to turn red.

She's only thirteen or fourteen years old. Although she hasn't fully grown up yet, she's already a beauty in the making.

The moment their hands touched, a voice rang in Lin Zhu's heart.

[A new member matching the criteria for Shenzhou World has been detected. Would you like to add them to the group chat?]

Zhou Miaotong's image was displayed in the chat group as a picture.

Xiao Bai: Hey, isn't this Fourteenth Sister?

Hua Qiangu: Yes, she looks a bit like Shisi Niang.

Qing'er: She's just like Fourteenth Sister when she was little. Bring her in, bring her in.

Xin Shisi Niang: She really does resemble me a bit.

Li Qiushui: It seems that besides us, there are other people who look alike!

Xiao Meiniang: In that case, Ruoxi should be able to join the group in the future, right?

Zhang San Niang: Possibly.

Yanfei: I don't know how the system found it.

Big Sister: It wasn't me, it was Xiaozhu who held hands with her, that's when I sensed it.

Chen Bangling: Xiaozhu must have gone to Beijing, right? Are you in Beijing now? @Linzhu

Lin Zhu: Yes, in the capital, I encountered some injustice and saved her.

Wanwan: Hero saves the damsel in distress!

Huang Rong: Sigh, my little brother has a younger sister now, but he doesn't even think about coming to see his older sister.

Wang Yuyan: Hmm, Rong'er, what you're saying sounds strange.

Huang Rong: Hehe, for some reason, this thought just popped into my head. Could it be that my little brother really hates his older sister because of this? @Lin Zhu

Lin Zhu: *facepalm* Stop messing around! So you're going to drag people away?

Dongfang Bai: Agreed!

Bai Feifei: Sure!

[Ding, unanimous approval detected. Zhou Miaotong has entered the chat group.]

Zhou Miaotong's body trembled, and she felt as if she were hallucinating, both auditory and visual.

She was a little flustered. "What, what is this?"

"Don't panic!" Lin Zhu tightened her grip on her hand. "Didn't you want to come with me? With this, you're one of us now."

Zhou Miaotong calmed down and then slowly absorbed the specific information from the chat group.

Her previously listless eyes suddenly sparkled with boundless brilliance as she looked up at Lin Zhu. "Can I call you Brother Little Bamboo from now on?"

Lin Zhu twitched the corner of her mouth; she couldn't shake off the "Little Bamboo" prefix.

Zhou Miaotong felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest, "Little Bamboo Brother!"

She was no longer satisfied with just holding hands; instead, she hugged Lin Zhu's arm.

In the group chat, Liu Ruoxin, Shangguan Haitang, and Mu Wanqing are in the capital. There are new members in the capital, and they want to meet them.
