What?
Bai Yi was greatly shocked when he heard that.
Lin Heng had apparently just said that the Female Emperor was his woman.
What kind of joke was this?
Not just Bai Yi—even Dugu Yueli and Luo Qi were completely dumbfounded.
"( ′?ω?) Brother Heng, wh-what are you saying?"
"Little Li, could it be that you don't know?"
"Ah... what, what should I know?"
Dugu Yueli's eyes widened, her face blank with confusion.
Lin Heng turned around, deliberately putting on an inscrutable air as he lightly cleared his throat.
Since things had come to this, he would no longer hide it from them. The Female Emperor and he had long since privately pledged themselves to one another.
Holy shit, Lin Heng, were you bragging or were you serious?
Bai Yi craned his neck and shouted with his mouth hanging wide open.
Lin Heng shrugged, raising an eyebrow. "Isn't that obvious?"
Bai Yi, Dugu Yueli, and Luo Qi looked at Meng Yutong's dark face and Jiang Zhenqing's clenched fists behind Lin Heng.
Neither of them said a word, yet their attitude had already explained everything.
Jiang Zhenqing: Bastard! That beast actually dared to reveal this matter in public. Was he not giving a damn about the Old Jiang Family's face?
Meng Yutong: *ψ(*｀ー′)ψ Aaaaah! Privately pledged themselves to one another—Rebel Disciple, Rebel Disciple, that tone is far too smug...*
Feeling the chill behind him, Lin Heng turned his head and looked once more at his brother-in-law and Master.
"Master, Prince Jing, there's nothing wrong with what I said, right?"
"In any case, the Female Emperor must be saved! Every hour of delay adds another measure of danger. We must fight a swift battle and make a quick decision. There's simply no time to go back and look for helpers or reinforcements."
