Unexpected Surprise

Jun Lin quietly gazed at the mission reward item in the system space, countless thoughts swirling through his mind.

Although he understood the matters concerning Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen far better than Dong Douluo did,

whenever he thought of Dong Douluo's profound sense of responsibility and silent protection toward his daughter, Hong Ying, waves stirred within his heart.

"Could this be all the love a father had for his child..." Complex emotions appeared in Jun Lin's eyes—sentiment, comfort, and a faint trace of melancholy.

This reward item was not merely an item; it was more like a symbol, symbolizing that he had gained Dong Douluo's recognition.

After a long while, Jun Lin gently shook his head and gradually gathered his chaotic thoughts. This was not the time to become immersed in such complicated emotions.

Then Jun Lin fixed his gaze on the World Card. As its name implied, it could travel to an unknown world. The card radiated a mysterious glow.

Curiosity and anticipation flickered in Jun Lin's eyes. He wondered whether this World Card would bring him unprecedented opportunities.

Just then, Shui Linglong suddenly appeared in the cultivation room. Her figure was light and graceful, like a fairy descending into the mortal world. Her pale purple gown fluttered gently, making her breathtakingly beautiful.

Intelligence and gentleness shone in her eyes as she looked at Jun Lin and slowly said, "A-Jun, I've already sent Sister Ah Yin back to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well." Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like heavenly music.

Jun Lin nodded slightly upon hearing this, indicating that he understood. He had his own considerations. The reason he had arranged for Ah Yin to return to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was naturally because he intended to use this World Card.

The environment at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was immensely beneficial to Ah Yin's growth and was also extremely safe.

And since he was about to travel to an unknown world, he had no intention of letting Ah Yin become entangled in danger before he knew whether it was safe.

After a while, under Shui Linglong's curious gaze, Jun Lin took out the World Card from the system space. Then, with a flash of light, Jun Lin and Shui Linglong slowly vanished from the cultivation room...

The Legend of Qin World!

Xianyang Palace, Qilin Hall...

At this moment, Ying Zheng sat high upon the throne. Although he had not yet formally begun ruling in his own right and had not fully grasped power, his innate kingly aura still faintly radiated from him.

He frowned slightly, his sharp gaze occasionally sweeping over the ministers before a nearly imperceptible hint of worry surfaced in his eyes.

Lü Buwei stood to one side, his expression complicated, calculation and strategy visible in his eyes.

Numerous ministers stood in rows on either side of the hall. Some looked grave, while others appeared deep in thought. The entire court was solemn, as though an important decision was about to unfold here.

Ying Zheng's fingers lightly stroked the throne's armrest, again and again, as if using it to ease the anxiety and restraint in his heart. His thin lips were pressed tightly together, revealing his determination and resolve.

When he heard the ministers' hushed discussions, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, as if dissatisfied, yet also as if he were suppressing his emotions.

At last, his gaze briefly settled on Lü Buwei. In that instant, a complicated glimmer flashed through his eyes.

Yet at that very moment, a sudden burst of light ignited within Qilin Hall. Brilliant and dazzling, like a magnificent aurora, it instantly shattered the hall's original solemn atmosphere. Everyone's attention was drawn to the strange light as they stared in shock at its source.

Two figures shrouded in light slowly emerged from within it. Their forms flickered in and out of view, leaving the many civil and military officials in Qilin Hall dumbfounded by this sudden turn of events.

A moment later, the civil officials in Qilin Hall began shouting, "Catch the assassins! Catch the assassins! Assassins have broken into Qilin Hall!" They panicked. Some turned pale, while others trembled all over, as though they had seen something terrifying. They looked around frantically, searching for somewhere to hide.

The military officials, however, reacted swiftly. Their eyes widened in fury as they raised their weapons and closed in. Their steps were firm and their movements agile, and they surrounded the two figures in an instant. Intense killing intent radiated from them, and the blades in their hands gleamed coldly.

They stared fixedly at the two figures, their eyes filled with vigilance and caution, as though they would attack without hesitation at the slightest unusual movement.

The entire Qilin Hall immediately descended into chaos. The guards rushed over as well, joining the encirclement around the two figures. They stood ready, tensely watching every movement they made.

Ying Zheng remained quietly seated on the throne. Surprise and confusion flashed through his eyes, but he quickly regained his calm. Thoughts raced through his mind.

Countless questions circled through Ying Zheng's mind. He narrowed his eyes slightly and silently observed everything, waiting for the situation to develop further.

As time passed, the mysterious light gradually faded. It went from dazzling brilliance to increasing softness, until it was as faint as a thin veil of gauze. Everyone in Qilin Hall stared intently at the center of the light, scarcely daring to breathe.

As the light weakened, the figures of Jun Lin and Shui Linglong slowly emerged, as though they had stepped out of a dream.

Jun Lin stood tall and straight, his eyes revealing determination and wisdom. His long robe fluttered softly in the faint breeze. His face was cold and sharply defined, while the slight upward curve of his lips seemed to carry a nearly imperceptible confidence.

Shui Linglong, meanwhile, looked like a fairy descending into the mortal world. She wore a pale purple gown, its hem drifting as lightly as clouds. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders like a waterfall, with several strands gently dancing in the air. Curiosity and vigilance filled her eyes, as though this unfamiliar environment had left her full of questions.

Then the two slowly floated down from midair. Their movements were light and graceful, as though they had no weight at all. When their feet touched the ground, even the air around them seemed to tremble slightly.

Jun Lin stood steadily where he was, surveying his surroundings and observing both the environment and the people's reactions. Shui Linglong lightly furrowed her brows, as though sensing the aura of this unfamiliar place.

"Flying through the skies and burrowing into the earth??? Immortals??? Gods descending into the mortal world???"

The people in Qilin Hall stared at Jun Lin and Shui Linglong, all of them frozen in shock.

Not only had the two appeared out of thin air amid mysterious light, but they had now slowly flown down from midair. The sight was simply too shocking. Everyone's eyes were wide, their mouths slightly open, their faces full of disbelief.

A moment later, the hall erupted into an uproar. Some people were so excited that their voices trembled, their faces filled with fervor as they suspected the two were immortals.

Others, who were more cautious, furrowed their brows and privately guessed that they might be spies sent by another state.
