Chapter 237 - A Non-Lasting Lie

Chapter 237: A Non-Lasting Lie

The Yuhua God Dynasty was doing its best to eliminate the remaining people of the Taichu God Dynasty. The event caused a huge commotion in the world and various powerhouses were mobilized. They acted decisively and forced the remaining people of the Taichu God Dynasty to go into hiding. They didn’t dare to expose themselves at all and lived in fear.

As a result, Emperor De also established a picket bureau formed by a group of powerhouses to pursue the people of the Taichu God Dynasty in full force.

This was a protracted hunt. Emperor De’s anger wasn’t so easily appeased.

He wouldn’t allow anyone to destroy the good situation created by the three generations of the Yuhua God Dynasty’s emperors, the civil and military officials, and the billions of common people.

When Princess Yulin told Lin Jiufeng about this matter, Lin Jiufeng didn’t comment.

“He’s the one in charge of the Yuhua God Dynasty, he naturally can do this,” Lin Jiufeng said. He had lived in the Cold Palace for a long time and stayed behind the scenes, not participating in these matters.

With the existence of the war machine that’s at the Void Returning Realm, the Yuhua God Dynasty had the ability to resist the other Void Returning Realms. Lin Jiufeng could save a lot of trouble.

As for the False Immortal Realm, those of this realm shouldn’t be appearing anytime soon.

He planned to quietly wait for his lightning tribulation. He didn’t care about anything else.

He would teach Princess Yulin for a while every day and then improve himself. At the same time, he would also look around the imperial capital to see if there were any places where he could sign in.

When he returned to the Cold Palace this time, he didn’t trigger a sign-in. It seemed that this Cold Palace no longer had any place where he could sign in.

Lin Jiufeng looked into the depths of the land. The Land of Extremely Negative Energy was there. After a few years, the outside world had changed drastically, but he wasn’t sure if the changes in the Land of Extremely Negative Energy were huge too.

Lin Jiufeng was thinking that when the little white cat returned, he would find a chance to go down.

“Where’s the little white cat?” After Princess Yulin finished practicing her swordsmanship, she didn’t see the little white cat that she saw every day and asked curiously.

“She went out,” Lin Jiufeng said as he brewed tea calmly.

“Where did she go?” Princess Yulin asked curiously.

“The Northwest Territory,” Lin Jiufeng said and took a sip of tea.

“The Northwest Territory? I remember that the Bai Tiandi I met not long ago was also suppressed in the Northwest Territory by Big Grand-Uncle, right?” Princess Yulin suddenly remembered and asked.

Lin Jiufeng frowned slightly. Seeing Princess Yulin mention Bai Tiandi, he recalled Bai Tiandi’s proud expression.

But Lin Jiufeng’s expression didn’t change much. He said calmly, “Yes, he married and had children in the Northwest Territory.”

“He married and had children?” Princess Yulin said in disappointment.

Lin Jiufeng nodded solemnly and said, “Yes, it happened not long ago.”

“Then, I shall give him my blessings.” Princess Yulin felt a little regretful, but she still gave him her blessings.

“Go comprehend the sword intent. These are all unimportant matters,” Lin Jiufeng said.

“Yes!” Princess Yulin cupped her fists in the manner of a disciple and returned to the courtyard with a smile.

Only Lin Jiufeng was left, cooking tea and drinking it calmly.

Bai Tiandi was far away in the Northwest Territory anyway. He didn’t have any reason to come to the imperial capital, so Lin Jiufeng wasn’t worried about this lie being exposed.

…

In the Northwest Territory, after leaving the Mountain Sea Realm, the little white cat quickly rushed back. She transformed into a white line that sped through the air.

But there were a few people following behind her at a steady pace.

On a closer look, these people were the little white cat’s old acquaintances in the ancient city.

In the past few years, Lin Jiufeng had been in seclusion frequently. The little white cat would occasionally go to Old Man Luo’s place to eat breakfast. After interacting with these people for a long time, she became familiar with them.

But the white cat was born aloof and wouldn’t take the initiative to greet others, so they never interacted much.

But on the way back this time, the little white cat thought about it carefully. The Yuhua God Dynasty was suppressing the world, but there were countless factions that could pose a threat to it. It was very strenuous for the Yuhua God Dynasty to keep them under control.

Relying on a single war machine wouldn’t solve the problem. The Yuhua God Dynasty needed more powerhouses.

Where were these powerhouses?

The white cat looked behind. The ancient city was ordinary, but there were many powerhouses defeated by Lin Jiufeng in this ordinary ancient city.

There were many people in the Void Returning Realm, and some of them were even at the peak of the Void Returning Realm.

Now that these people were free, they would be stepping into the outside world for the first time. Shouldn’t she recruit them for the Yuhua God Dynasty?

If these people could be recruited to serve the Yuhua God Dynasty, or if they could reach an agreement to help each other, it would be a huge profit for the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Moreover, with the addition of these powerhouses, Lin Jiufeng wouldn’t have to do anything in the future. He could focus on comprehending the Great Dao and accompany her.

The white cat was instantly shocked by her own intelligence.

She actually thought of such a good idea?

Four birds with one stone!

First, it solved the problem of the Yuhua God Dynasty lacking powerhouses.

Second, to open a new world for Bai Tiandi, Old Man Luo, and the others, who had never seen the outside world before.

The Yuhua God Dynasty suppressed the world. Now, she would bring them to the imperial capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty and see the most prosperous city in the world. It was a good way for them to understand the current world.

Third, this would solve Lin Jiufeng’s trouble. Lin Jiufeng wouldn’t need to interfere every time something happened in the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Fourth, after solving Lin Jiufeng’s trouble, Lin Jiufeng would have more time to accompany her.

Therefore, she returned and specifically found Old Man Luo and the others to tell them about this matter.

The white cat explained everything clearly and also analyzed the situation of the world for them. She explained how the Yuhua God Dynasty treated the common people well.

In addition, she also copied Lin Jiufeng’s words and said, “The situation in the current world is a major change that hasn’t happened in thousands of years. Often, major changes mean the common people losing their homes, mountains of corpses, seas of blood, and even genocide. But now, as long as the Yuhua God Dynasty is still standing, the common people will be protected by the Yuhua God Dynasty. Be it men or women, old or young, everyone can eat their fill, can see hope, and always have channels to improve. These factors are the foundation of the Yuhua God Dynasty’s strength. If anyone forgets this, it will be destroying the Yuhua God Dynasty.”

Building a powerful dynasty for the people and made the people proud of it.

This was what Emperor De of the Yuhua God Dynasty was currently doing.

In order to handle this matter well, the white cat changed her aloof attitude and said a lot.

The few powerhouses who listened to her were moved.

Hence, Old Man Luo, Fire Lord, Bai Tiandi, and King Kaoshan, these four great powerhouses of the Void Returning Realm, agreed to go to the imperial capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty to observe. As long as what the little white cat said was correct and really existed, they would join the Yuhua God Dynasty.

The white cat was overjoyed and said excitedly, “What I said is definitely true. If you don’t believe me, you guys can go and take a look along the way. The lives of those people are definitely blissful and happy.” The white cat seemed to be proud of this.

Lin Jiufeng secretly supported the Yuhua God Dynasty. Therefore, the white cat loved what he loved and also supported the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Moreover, the third emperor of the Yuhua God Dynasty did a good job. Although the little white cat didn’t interact with people much, she could differentiate between good and bad.

Before the reforms were implemented decades ago, the common people would even eat their own children as food, were homeless, and selling their children for money. Their lives were as miserable as they could be. The entire Yuhua God Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. Hungry people were everywhere, and the entire land was in turmoil.

But now, in less than a hundred years, the common people’s lives had greatly improved. The elderly had people to take care of them, and the young had people to depend on.

Hence, the white cat was confident in her words.

“Kitty, what if Mr. Lin gets angry because you take us to the imperial capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty?” Old Man Luo asked.

“He definitely won’t be angry. He can’t be happier that I brought you guys there to increase the combat power of the Yuhua God Dynasty. I’ll bring you guys to see him later.” The white cat almost patted her chest to assure them.

Hearing this, Old Man Luo and the others felt happy.

Along the way, they saw many common people. Some were poor in the forests, and some were wealthy in the cities. But without exception, these people all had full stomachs, dressed warmly, and were accompanied by their families. They were all healthy.

Seeing this, Old Man Luo and the others also believed the little white cat’s words.

“For millions of years, there have been countless dynasties. Changing dynasties are also very common. These thousands of dynasties all focus on attack others and killing. The ambitious people take turns to be emperors, but it’s the common people who suffer the most.” Fire Lord passed by a small town and saw the old people sitting together peacefully and chatting. The young children were playing happily and weren’t worried about other dangers at all. He couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

How confident were they in the security of the Yuhua God Dynasty to be so relaxed?

This was absolutely unprecedented.

“This is the Yuhua God Dynasty,” the white cat said proudly.

“This is the only dynasty that can treat the safety of the common people and the welfare of the common people as the basic national policy. If this dynasty is destroyed, the billions of common people will suffer greatly,” Bai Tiandi said with emotion.

“That’s why I brought you guys here. The Yuhua God Dynasty lacks powerhouses. This is why I said that Mr. Lin absolutely welcomes your arrivals,” the white cat said.

“I’m very interested in the Yuhua God Dynasty now. Let’s speed up.” King Kaoshan became excited.

Cultivators were also humans. Through their studies, their own knowledge was very high. Hence, their ideals to uphold justice for the people were deeply rooted in their bones. The Yuhua God Dynasty was just what they wanted.

At this moment, they were looking forward to learning more about the Yuhua God Dynasty.

Bai Tiandi suddenly said, “Then, is this Princess Yulin of the Yuhua God Dynasty also in the imperial capital?”

“Princess Yulin is currently learning from Mr. Lin. She’s Mr. Lin’s granddaughter, and that’s why he’s teaching her,” the white cat said.

She felt that there was nothing wrong with telling him this.

But Bai Tiandi’s spirit shook. Knowing that he was about to see Princess Yulin, he became inexplicably nervous.

The journey was silent. The speed of the few of them was needless to say. Their speeds were so fast that they disappeared without a trace. They soon arrived at the imperial capital.

Entering the imperial capital, the white cat brought them to the door of the Cold Palace.

In the Cold Palace, Lin Jiufeng, who had just lied, was drinking tea when he suddenly scanned with his spiritual will. With a puff, he spat out the tea.

“Why did Bai Tiandi and the others come to the imperial capital?” Lin Jiufeng stood up in shock. Perhaps it was because he was guilty or something else, but he cleaned up the tea.

Meow~

The white cat knocked on the door.

The [Light of the Homes] sensed that it was the little white cat bringing people in, so it didn’t block them.

Princess Yulin, who was practicing her swordsmanship, walked out and said, “Big Grand-Uncle, the little white cat is back. I’ll go open the door.”

“Wait…” Lin Jiufeng reached out, wanting to stop her, but didn’t manage to. He watched as Princess Yulin went to open the door of the Cold Palace.

Lin Jiufeng covered his head powerlessly. This was the first time he had encountered making a lie that was immediately exposed.

This was the most awkward thing in life.

Sure enough, when Princess Yulin opened the door, she saw the little white cat and the few people she had brought with her.

“Uh…” Princess Yulin recognized Bai Tiandi.

Bai Tiandi gave her a big smile.

But Princess Yulin nodded calmly with an unfamiliar distance between them. Then, she looked at the others, her eyes asking the little white cat.

“These are the powerhouses that I brought back. They are all at the Void Returning Realm. They are Fire Lord, Old Man Luo, and King Kaoshan. You already know Bai Tiandi, so I won’t introduce him,” the white cat said.

“They are all at the Void Returning Realm?” Princess Yulin asked in surprise.

“Of course. I won’t bring back those weaker ones.” The white cat walked into the Cold Palace proudly. Her steps were a little model-like, carrying pride and satisfaction.

“Please come in.” Princess Yulin immediately invited these people in.

Old Man Luo led the way. He saw the dilapidated and old Cold Palace, a sharp contrast to the beautiful and crowded imperial capital outside. Seeing Lin Jiufeng calmly brewing tea, he couldn’t help but sigh. Mr. Lin really didn’t care about fame and fortune.

After the few of them entered the Cold Palace, they followed Princess Yulin to Lin Jiufeng’s side. They were as obedient as students meeting their teacher.

Meow~

After the white cat returned, she jumped onto the table and raised her head to look at Lin Jiufeng, her expression asking for praise.

Lin Jiufeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He had just lied. He thought that he wouldn’t be exposed, but in the blink of an eye, the little white cat brought Bai Tiandi here.

He was feeling awkward at this moment, but the white cat used her cuteness to make Lin Jiufeng feel better.

“You did well. The Yuhua God Dynasty needs these powerhouses.” Lin Jiufeng stroked the little white cat gently.

The white cat revealed a comfortable expression as she let Lin Jiufeng stroke her. She squinted and curled up into a ball.

Lin Jiufeng picked up the little white cat and looked at Old Man Luo and the others. He said, “If you guys join the Yuhua God Dynasty, no one will restrain you. The only requirement for you is to protect the Yuhua God Dynasty and not let it be destroyed. If that happens, billions of people will suffer in this era.”

“No problem. We cultivators will naturally protect the common people of the world.” Bai Tiandi agreed with a righteous look on his face.

“En. Bai Tiandi and the rest of you, go out together and go see Emperor De. Let him know of your existences.” Lin Jiufeng waved his hand and hurriedly sent them away.

Even if the lie would be exposed later, it mustn’t be exposed now. It would be very awkward for the lie to be exposed on the spot.

When Bai Tiandi was called out by Lin Jiufeng, he hurriedly nodded. Then, he turned around and left with the others.

But after taking a few steps, he became puzzled.

This was his first time in the imperial capital of the Yuhua God Dynasty, so how could he know who Emperor De was?

Because of Lin Jiufeng presiding over the imperial capital, they didn’t dare to be impudent at all. Their divine souls didn’t even dare to probe around.

Hence, he was confused.

Princess Yulin immediately said, “This is your first time in the imperial capital. If you rashly go and see Emperor De, you will arouse his suspicion. I will bring you all there and explain clearly. Emperor De will believe you guys then.”

Lin Jiufeng opened his mouth. He wanted to object, but Princess Yulin was right.

He couldn’t object.

In that case, he would just let it be. As long as the lie wasn’t exposed in front of him, it wouldn’t be so embarrassing. He let them leave and sat down with the little white cat in his arms.

“You seem to be in a bad mood?” The white cat sensed that Lin Jiufeng was in a bad mood and thus asked.

“I lied and was seen through, so I’m very depressed,” Lin Jiufeng said helplessly.

If he had known, he wouldn’t have lied.

“It’s fine. I often lie too. Didn’t you see through them at a glance too?” The white cat chuckled.

“It’s not a big deal.” The white cat stroked Lin Jiufeng’s chest with her small claws and comforted him.

“Forget it. The children will have their own happiness. I don’t want to care about these things either. Let them be.” Lin Jiufeng shook his head. He was too lazy to intervene anymore. It was better to cultivate and improve himself.

…

Princess Yulin left the Cold Palace with the four of them and headed for the Forbidden City.

After exiting the Cold Palace, they looked back. The Cold Palace had disappeared as if it didn’t exist.

But they clearly saw it just now and also went in.

“What’s going on?” Bai Tiandi asked in surprise.

“This is how incredible Big Grand-Uncle is. This Cold Palace is hidden from the entire imperial capital. No one will be able to find him, and he could stay hidden in the city,” Princess Yulin said in admiration.

They had to get close to the Cold Palace to feel it.

If they weren’t acknowledged by the [Light of the Homes], they would have been persuaded to leave and wouldn’t remember anything.

Only those who were acknowledged could see the doors of the Cold Palace.

“Amazing!” King Kaoshan said with emotion.

“That’s why he’s Mr. Lin,” Old Man Luo said. He was completely impressed and was about to become Lin Jiufeng’s most loyal subordinate.

Princess Yulin smiled and prepared to go to the Forbidden City. But she suddenly remembered and said to Emperor Bai, “I wish you a happy marriage.”

Bai Tiandi was confused. He blinked and asked in confusion, “What happy marriage?”

“That’s right. What are you talking about? Bai Tiandi has always been single, and he has never had any contact with women. It’s just that he met you not long ago. After he returned, he kept exaggerating in our ears how beautiful and how noble you are. Seeing you today, Bai Tiandi’s words are indeed true, and those words are even inferior to the truth. How can your beauty be described with words?” Old Man Luo praised Princess Yulin while winking at King Kaoshan and Fire Lord.

“Yes, your beauty is indescribable, Princess. It’s no wonder that Bai Tiandi missed you so much that he didn’t eat or drink.” King Kaoshan received the signal and praised.

“Yes, Princess, don’t listen to the words of some despicable people. Bai Tiandi has always been single. How could he possibly get married?” Fire Lord said.

This was the first time the usually confident Bai Tiandi’s face turned red from these three people’s words.

But he still said solemnly, “Princess, although I don’t know who started the rumors, I’m really not married.”

A trace of understanding appeared on Princess Yulin’s beautiful face.

She already knew the reason for the matter.

Big Grand-Uncle deceived her.

Big Grand-Uncle didn’t like her interacting with Bai Tiandi, but he couldn’t say it out loud, so he lied.

Princess Yulin didn’t plan to tell anyone. This matter would rot in her stomach.

As for her interaction with Bai Tiandi, she felt that she could give it a try.

Let fate decide.

Hence, she smiled apologetically and said, “I must have made a mistake and misheard the name. Let’s forget about this matter. Let’s go and see Emperor De now. He will tell you about the development plans of the Yuhua God Dynasty and arrange the teacher’s identity for you guys.”

“Teacher’s identity?” King Kaoshan looked at Princess Yulin in puzzlement.

“Every powerhouse in the Yuhua God Dynasty has to go to the Martial Temple as a teacher. Every once in a while, they have to teach the students for free for a day to clear up the doubts of the talented students and let them know where their mistakes are. The leader of this Martial Temple is the Mr. Lin that you guys are talking about,” Princess Yulin explained.

“This is a good thing. When I came here, I heard from the little white cat that the Martial Temple will teach all the children in the world cultivation, literacy, and literature for free. This has never happened before, so I’m willing to participate.” Bai Tiandi agreed without hesitation.

The other three also agreed.
