Chapter 596

After hesitating for a second, Tingyun made up her mind and said to Yukong.

"However, I would like to ask Yukong Kong a question."

"Where is Lin Yu, my benefactor, now?"

"Oh... you should ask him."

As someone who has been through it all in a certain sense, Yukong may not have a husband, but she has seen her best friend have had husbands.

That's why Yukong could tell at a glance that Tingyun had developed feelings for Lin Yu he had saved her twice.

Under normal circumstances, Yukong might bring up the relevant regulations of the Immortal Ship regarding intermarriage between immortal beings and non-human beings.

After all, their lifespans are different, and even if they were to mate, tragedy would often only occur after one of them dies.

However, the current situation is rather special.

First of all, Lin Yu's power as Pathstrider is extremely strong, so strong that Jing Yuan has judged him to be at least a powerful envoy.

For Pathstrider of this caliber, extending their lifespan is not only a matter of a word, but also an extremely easy task.

Secondly, as someone who has been through it all and is also an outsider, Yukong must have noticed a key point that Tingyun had forgotten at this moment.

"Tingyun, you need to think this through."

After a moment's thought, Yukong still felt that he had to make Tingyun face the truth.

"Although Mr. Lin Yu is very outstanding, he has a daughter, so he must already have a family."

"Ah, about this..."

Upon hearing these words from Yukong, Tingyun instantly gave Yukong a subtle look.

"Yukong, have you noticed something?"

"Having a daughter doesn't necessarily mean having a family—aren't you the best example of that?"

?

??

Upon hearing Tingyun's words, Yukong suddenly realized that she was quite right.

Yukong does have a daughter, but this daughter is her best friend's daughter.

After her best friend died on the battlefield, Yukong unmarried for the rest of her life and raised her best friend's daughter in her place.

Of course, her daughter was unaware of this matter. It was only after Tingyun accidentally discovered it that Yukong never expected that this matter would become Tingyun's reason for refuting him at this critical juncture.

"Moreover, Yukong, I... was actually already mentally prepared."

Early, already?

So you've had your eye on him for a while now, haven't you?

"A man as outstanding as my Benefactor would naturally not be easily let go of the woman beside him, so..."

"So?"

"... As long as I can spend my whole life with him, some things aren't really that important, right?"

After hearing Tingyun say those words in a low voice with a rosy complexion, Yukong's expression remained unchanged, but he secretly groaned inwardly.

Oh no! The successor I chose has been kidnapped by our benefactor from the Xianzhou Alliance.

What should I do? It's so hard to come up with enough reasons to convince her.

After all, Lin Yu not only saved the Luofu Xianzhou, but also possesses outstanding personal strength, handsome appearance, and a good personality. He also saved Tingyun twice.

It's fair to say that without Lin Yu, Tingyun would have been driven to his death by Phantylia long ago. Putting myself in Ting Tingyun's Yukong, I think he would have fallen for Lin Yu...

This is perfectly normal.

Furthermore, since lifespan isn't an issue, and putting aside the difficulties related to work, she felt that as a friend, she should support Tingyun's actions... right?

"Sigh, I don't even know what to say to you..."

Facing his friend, Yukong said to Tingyun with a helpless expression.

"Lin Yu is indeed an outstanding man, but at the same time, you must not forget one thing."

"He is an anonymous person. This identity means that before he can let go of this identity, he will inevitably be a homeless person who often puts himself in danger while helping others, causing worry to those around him."

"Even if Lin Yu accepts you, you will have to leave your home and the Luofu Xianzhou, abandoning your family, friends, and hometown to be with him."

"Tingyun, think about it carefully—is it all worth it?"

"... Thank you, Yukong."

Upon hearing Tingyun's words, Yukong knew that his advice had been completely ineffective.

If Tingyun had truly taken her words to heart, he should at least be struggling with this dilemma by now.

But now...

No, there was no sign of any inner conflict on Tingyun's face.

She still planned to go find Lin Yu.

"Indeed, as Lord Yukong Kong said, if I were to pursue my Benefactor, I would inevitably be forced to give up many things, but..."

Recalling the experience of being interrupted from those nightmarish illusions in the darkness and then falling into a peaceful sleep, Tingyun slowly walked towards the door of the room and spoke very seriously to Yukong.

"If I leave the Luofu Xianzhou to stay by his side, I might regret it for a while."

"But if I don't even express my true feelings now, I think..."

"I might regret it for the rest of my life."

"I see, I understand now."

Knowing that his advice had been completely ineffective, Yukong's face showed an undisguised weariness.

"Let's pretend I didn't say anything."

"No, I am very grateful for Yukong Kong's concern, but... I really don't want to have any regrets."

After saying this, before leaving, Tingyun gave Yukong a playful smile.

"Then, Yukong Soarer, please wish me success."

"Forget it, I'm still waiting for you to come back and take over."

After waving his hand in annoyance, Yukong said to Tingyun in a rude tone.

"If you come back crying after being rejected, don't blame me for not advising you before."

Yes~

Listening to Tingyun's light footsteps as she quickly left, Yukong could sense that Tingyun was excited as she departed.

Sigh, the successor I've been carefully grooming has now completely lost his way.

Lin Yu...

He is indeed a hero, but we have only known him for a day.

Who can guarantee that a hero will be perfect in every aspect, rather than having a bad reputation in some areas?

Luofu Xianzhou. Near Jianmu

After a brief conversation with Jing Yuan, Lin Yu left the Divine General's Manor.

After all, he had already proven that Phantylia was dead, and he had taken all the remaining fragments of Phantylia Suiyang into his own hands.

Once the defeat of the formidable enemy is confirmed, the Xianzhou Alliance will have plenty to do.

Lin Yu only needed to think about how to defeat Phantylia, but after that, the Xianzhou Alliance had many things to consider.

However, Lin Yu had absolutely no interest in these rules and regulations.

During those seven years when he was the world's king, he was essentially a hands-off manager.

After all, at most he can decide the direction of everyone's efforts; in terms of various strategic details, his ability is far inferior to those seasoned veterans.

People should be prepared to do different things; it is always a major taboo for laymen to give advice to experts.

Knowing that everyone was a good person, Lin Yu did only three things most in the past seven years.

Decentralization, decentralization, and more decentralization.

Now that he has defeated Phantylia, the remaining troublesome matters should definitely be resolved by the Xianzhou native themselves.

In any case, such powerful forces hate it when others interfere in their internal affairs. In the original work, Jing Yuan even omitted their achievements in the reports.

This wasn't Jing Yuan trying to gain any merit; he did it mainly to avoid the trouble of the Stellaron Hunters being questioned by the Immortal Ship's crew.

Of course, now that Lin Yu is here, the train crew will be relatively more powerful in the face of various forces, starting from the moment he revealed his strength.

The second worst-case scenario is that the nameless passenger died suddenly, but even without Star God, the train crew still has Lin Yu.

With his commanding power, Lin Yu can at least ensure the safety of the train crew when facing opponents who are not at the Star God level.

"Oh my, oh my, I really didn't expect this..."

At this moment, a tall figure suddenly appeared beside Lin Yu.

"The Destruction Lord has already been defeated, Brother Lin Yu, what are you doing here at this time?"

Beside Lin Yu, Svarog, who was completely undisguised, looked at Jianmu, which had returned to its original state, and asked with a slight sigh.

"Could it be that you, brother, also have that strange fetish of 'the murderer must return to the scene of the crime'?"

"Ha, Brother Svarog is joking."

Hearing Svarog's teasing, Lin Yu calmly replied.

"I came here simply to express my gratitude to Brother Svarog."

"If you hadn't intervened—"

"You'll get things done just as well, right?"

After interrupting Lin Yu, Svarog immediately continued what he had been saying.

"I just saved you the trouble of doing it yourself, and by running an errand for you, I got to watch a great show from the VIP seats... Hey, this isn't exactly a bad deal."

"Is that so... Heh, never mind."

In response to Svarog's reaction, Lin Yu suddenly looked up at the sky.

"When I captured Dan Shu, the Medicine Master's Legacy suddenly rioted and went to the base of the mindless Cloud Knights. Was that your doing too?"

"... Wow, you saw right through me?"

Upon hearing this, Svarog grinned and said...

"Yes, I did make it."

"Why?"

"Hey, what reason do you need to harm a madman?"

Hearing Lin Yu's question, Svarog looked at Lin Yu with a puzzled expression.

"You don't actually find those two lunatics, the Medicine Master's Legacy and the Anti-Matter Legion, to be very likable, do you?"

"That's true."

"Besides, I just showed them the footage of Dan Shu being captured, and they got all worked up—hey, I didn't even say anything, I didn't even have time to guide them, and they went to cause trouble for the Cloud Knights."

Recalling the actions of the group that Medicine Master's Legacy, Svarog shook his head helplessly.

"Without a leader, they've become a bunch of rabble. It's no wonder that Luofu Xianzhou was so arrogant."

"The Medicine Master's Legacy have probably already been exposed. That white-haired general... is probably just waiting for them to reveal a big enough flaw."

Sigh, even if we hadn't come, it feels like Svarog secretly slipped away to Xianzhou... Maybe it was just a coincidence that he sent gifts to the train crew.

Judging from Svarog's understanding of the Path of Joy, he was clearly after the major event on the Luofu Xianzhou.

It was only because the train crew intervened in the original story that Svarog, who might have been a clown on stage, voluntarily retreated to the audience to watch everything unfold.

"Ah, let's end our chat here. Next..."

At this moment, Svarog looked at Lin Yu and suddenly revealed a rare hint of joy.
