I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 300 You Still Have to Pretend! (Please Subscribe, Please Vote!)

"Qianyu, your recent work efficiency has been poor, which will delay the resurrection of the Dragon Emperor."

A woman of exceptional poise spoke arrogantly to Yuan Qianyu.

Yuan Qianyu, also known as Wei Manying, was a princess of noble lineage from the Yuan family of the previous dynasty.

Anyone who dares to speak to her like that must be of a much higher status than her.

The woman speaking was named Qiu Xianyu, who played the role of Yuan Qianyu's mother in the Wei family, but in reality, she had little to do with Yuan Qianyu.

She is one of the Dragon Emperor's most loyal concubines, and has recently awakened from a deep slumber.

Qiu Xianyu's identity alone was enough to make Yuan Qianyu bow her head.

"Your Majesty, I will expedite the process and do my best to revive the Dragon Emperor."

Yuan Qian spoke respectfully, but inwardly she was cursing.

That stinky woman always has this face like someone owes her millions.

She's just the Dragon Emperor's concubine, what's so special about her?

The entire Yuan family depends on me to run. You people always act so high and mighty. If you're so capable, why don't you do it yourself?

However, these were just thoughts in Yuan Qianyu's mind; she dared not say them aloud.

The Dragon Emperor's concubines are very powerful, at least much stronger than her.

Not to mention that after the Dragon Emperor was resurrected, he became an existence that suppressed an entire era.

And then there are the dragon riders, who existed only in ancient times, and were capable of crushing everything.

In order to revive the Yuan family, Yuan Qianyu said nothing.

Qiu Xianyu urged him a few more times before turning and leaving.

Her graceful figure, with her toes completely hidden when she looked down, certainly put Yuan Qianyu under a lot of pressure.

Fortunately, Yuan Qianyu is also naturally beautiful and a stunning beauty; otherwise, most people would feel inferior when they see a woman like her.

After she left, Yuan Qianyu thought: According to the agreement, that man should have arrived by now, right?
Recently, there has been a very busy official in the Tian Ce Dynasty. He is a rising star with outstanding abilities and has been promoted ahead of schedule.

He receives numerous bonuses and resource rewards, making him an outstanding subordinate in the eyes of his superiors.

He has already gained some fame in the court, and many people believe that this young man will definitely hold a high position in the future, as he is a truly capable talent.

Most importantly, this kid's cultivation level is also very high; he is simply an all-around genius. He is Lin Mo.

Lin Mo has shown his talent ever since he joined the Ministry of Works.

He is not only highly capable, but also lucky and extremely efficient.

The Minister of Works even said that the construction of the railcar project would not have been so fast without his presence.

Lin Mo increased the progress by three times.

Previously, many people in the court envied the Minister of Justice, saying that he had a very capable subordinate named Xiao Ming who solved many major cases.

Now, the Minister of Works also has a subordinate who is comparable to Xiao Ming, and that is Lin Mo.

Despite Lin Mo's remarkable achievements, he secretly holds another identity: the successor to the legacy of the previous dynasty.

The cultivation techniques he practiced and the resources he acquired all came from the Yuan family of the previous dynasty.

Lin Mo was essentially going down a dark path, because before the Yuan clan's powerful member died, he gave Lin Mo a key and asked him to give it to a member of the Yuan clan.

The situation was very tense recently, with arrests of remnants of the previous dynasty and the remaining members of the Wang family everywhere.

Even if Lin Mo were incredibly bold, he wouldn't dare to approach her.

But things are different now. The storm has gradually died down, so Lin Mo has simply started working hard to gain resources and status.

Now that some time has passed, the enforcement has become less strict.

Lin Mo has his own contact, from whom he learned that the princess, a remnant of the previous dynasty, is in the Wei family in Shanghe City. His current task is to construct the western rail line of the Tian Ce Dynasty, which passes through the area near Shanghe City.

I have official business to attend to, so I'm just passing by to hand the key to the princess, a remnant of the previous dynasty.

Moreover, Lin Mo was very familiar with Shanghe City; he grew up there.

However, there is a painful memory: the person she loved was taken away, and she was powerless to stop it.

This was indeed a place that saddened him.

Lin Mo arrived at the Wei family mansion based on the address provided by the contact.

He wasn't wearing his official robes; instead, he was dressed in plain clothes, appearing low-key and ordinary.

Lin Mo knocked twice on the back door of the Wei family mansion, four times louder than the other.

This was their secret code; the people inside knew he was one of their own as soon as they heard it, and let him in.

Lin Mo was received by Yuan Qianyu, a princess from the previous dynasty.

Lin Mo felt a little smitten the moment he saw Yuan Qianyu.

For some reason, he felt a strong flutter in his heart, as if he had met the right person.

Yuan Qianyu held a strange attraction for him, perhaps because the cultivation technique he practiced was related to the previous dynasty, or perhaps because of Yuan Qianyu's unique temperament and beauty.

Yuan Qianyu had seen countless people, and she knew from Lin Mo's eyes that he was interested in her.

She would naturally use the ambiguous relationship to say some nice things, making Lin Mo think that this woman might also have feelings for him.

The two seemed to have a very close relationship; they got along well and even shared common ground.

In fact, it was all an act by Yuan Qianyu. She was used to it and skillfully expressed ambiguity to every man, making them infatuated with her and doing things for her.

Lin Mo originally had no feelings for the remnants of the previous dynasty, but after meeting Yuan Qianyu, he felt that: actually, the remnants of the previous dynasty are not bad, and he might have some kind of fate with this woman.

He began to waver, and even looked forward to every interaction with Yuan Qianyu.

In his view, this might be God's compensation to him; in this heartbreaking city, only the beauty before him could heal his wounds.

During the dinner, the two sides learned each other's identities.

Lin Mo didn't actually intend to reveal his identity; he was just there to deliver the keys.

But young people can't help but show off a little.

He answered Yuan Qianyu's questions directly.

Seeing Lin Mo's dazed expression, Yuan Qianyu smiled slightly and said gently, "Lord Lin, it's really kind of you to make this trip. I don't know what I would have done without your help."

Lin Mo scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Your Highness is too kind. I was just doing my duty."

Yuan Qianyu gently shook her head, her eyes filled with admiration: "Lord Lin is too modest. A talent like you is one in a million, no matter where you are. I don't know how many women are infatuated with you."

Lin Mo felt a surge of excitement at Yuan Qianyu's words, and the feeling that 'she seems to like me' kept coming back to him.

After taking a deep breath, he took out the key and solemnly handed it to Yuan Qianyu: "Princess, this is the key entrusted to me by the Yuan family elders. Today, I return it to its rightful owner."

Yuan Qianyu took the key, a complex look flashing in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.

She smiled slightly, her tone filled with gratitude: "Lord Lin, thank you for your continued protection. This key is of great significance to the Yuan family."

Lin Mo nodded, feeling somewhat excited: "Princess, it is my honor to be able to do my part for the Yuan family. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

Yuan Qianyu was surprised that he took the bait so quickly.

He's even faster than Xiao Ming.

But you still have to pretend when you need to.
