Chapter 407 Lin You: My arrival symbolizes the destruction of the Sun and Moon Royal Family (1010)

Lin You was slightly taken aback. Looking at the tearful orange, a ripple of emotion stirred within him.

He was silent for a moment before asking softly, "Sister Orange, do you hate the Sun Moon Empire?"

Upon hearing this, Ju Zi froze.

Hate?

She subconsciously wanted to shake her head.

She is from the Sun and Moon Empire, born and raised there.

But then, the images of his parents' tragic deaths, the cold, hard records, and the innocent faces struggling in the darkness flooded his mind.

She nodded vigorously, tears streaming down her face, her voice filled with deep-seated hatred: "Hate! How can I not hate it! It destroyed my home! It made countless people homeless, living a life worse than death!"

Looking at the pain and hatred in her eyes, Lin You's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. His voice was calm yet carried a strange allure: "In that case...would you be willing to join forces with me?"

"Join forces?"

Ju Zi suddenly raised her head, her eyes blurry with tears, and looked at Lin You with astonishment on her face.

Lin You met her gaze, his tone calm, yet he uttered a shocking statement: "My true purpose in coming here is to overthrow the royal rule of the Sun Moon Empire."

"!"

Orange was instantly stunned, as if struck by lightning, her mind going completely blank.

Overthrow...the royal family's rule?
How could he dare say such things to someone from the Sun Moon Empire?!
She abruptly turned her head to look in Keke's direction, her heart pounding.

Coco! Coco is still here!
"She's drunk and fast asleep; she can't hear us," Lin You's voice rang out at the right moment, carrying a hint of reassurance.

Orange breathed a sigh of relief, but then tensed up again. She turned around and looked at Lin You incredulously, her voice hoarse with nervousness: "Are you... are you crazy? How could you believe me? Aren't you afraid... afraid I'll expose your secret? That's a capital offense! A crime punishable by death for nine generations of your family!"

Lin You simply smiled, his eyes clear and honest: "Because I trust Sister Orange."

Orange's breath hitched, and her heart felt as if it had been gently bumped by something.

She turned her head away in a fluster, not daring to look Lin You in the eye, but her tone was urgent and panicked: "Stop talking! Stop talking! I don't know anything! I didn't hear anything!"

She was protecting Lin You, and in doing so, she was also protecting herself.

Once you're tainted by such words, you're doomed.

Lin You, seeing her evasive gaze and feigned toughness, understood. He didn't press further, but instead changed his approach, posing a deeper question: "Sister Orange, do you think the current royal family is... legitimate?"

"of course……"

Orange instinctively wanted to refute, "This is the Xu family royal family that has ruled the empire for hundreds of years. How could they not be legitimate?"
But the words caught in her throat.

A long-forgotten fragment of memory resurfaced from the depths of my mind like a ghost.

Many years ago, a palace coup occurred. The old emperor suddenly died, and it was announced to the public that he had been assassinated, but rumors spread throughout the palace.

The crown prince, who was originally the most likely to inherit the throne, mysteriously disappeared, and his fate is unknown.

Ultimately, it was the old emperor's younger brother, the current emperor, who ascended the throne amidst the chaos.

It was precisely because of this new emperor's ascension to the throne that Xu Tianran and her group of princes came into being. It was through this connection that she gradually rose to where she is today.

Could it be... could it be that Lin You means...?

Ju Zi suddenly looked at Lin You, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

"I didn't say anything." Lin You shrugged, his smile still gentle. "Anyway, Sister Orange, I know you're very capable and have a wide network. Could you... do me a small favor?"

His voice was low, carrying a seductive power: "Help me investigate the reputation of that missing... former crown prince, and that deceased old emperor, in the military and among the common people. Where do their influences lie most?"

The voice, like the whisper of a demon, made Orange's heart race uncontrollably once again.

Looking at the smiling young man in front of her, she felt a chill run from her feet to the top of her head.

Who exactly is he? What does he want to do?
Orange's expression shifted repeatedly before finally settling into a long, bitter laugh: "Lin You...you bastard...you've got some nerve."

She remained silent for a long time, as if she were engaged in a fierce internal struggle.

Finally, she raised her head and looked at Lin You with a complicated expression: "Sigh... alright. Since you trust me so much, I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said today and I won't tell anyone."

She paused, her tone carrying a hint of warning: "But! I won't help you! Absolutely not! I won't get involved in things that could cost me my life! This is a one-time exception, and don't ever mention this to me again!"

Lin You knew that although she said she refused, she was already wavering in her heart.

He smiled slightly and nodded: "I know, I know. Don't worry, Sister Orange."

He changed the subject, his voice tinged with longing and allure: "However, that one... is, after all, the legitimate one. If we can set things right, with our... well, with the assistance of insightful individuals, the Sun Moon Empire will surely usher in a new future. A future without so many tragedies, a truly powerful and healthy future."

He looked into Orange's eyes and asked earnestly, "Orange, would you... like to come and see that kind of world?"

A new world...

To set things right...

Orange's heart began to pound violently.

An emotion she had never felt before, a mixture of fear, excitement, and a sliver of hope, began to grow wildly within her.

She suddenly grabbed the remaining half-bottle of fruit wine on the table, tilted her head back, and drank it all in one gulp.

The spicy liquor burned her throat and ignited a long-suppressed fire within her.

"Gudong Gudong..."

After finishing the last sip, she slammed the empty bottle onto the table, wiped her mouth, and stared sharply at Lin You: "This plan... has been in the works for many years, hasn't it? Is it... that Xingluo, Douhun, Tianling, and even Shrek Academy are involved?"

In her view, such a disruptive plan could not possibly have been accomplished by one person alone.

Lin You shook his head, his tone as calm as if he were talking about a trivial matter: "No, it's just my own thought and action."

"What?!" Orange jumped up again in shock, staring at Lin You in disbelief. "You...you alone?! A mere four-ring Soul Master?! You think you can overthrow the mighty Sun Moon Empire, which boasts level nine Soul Masters, dozens of Soul Master regiments, and more than one Title Douluo?!"

She cried out, "Are you crazy?! Or am I crazy?!"

Lin You looked at her utterly shocked expression, simply smiled, and offered no explanation.

Orange stared intently at him, as if trying to discern even the slightest hint of a joke or madness on his face.

But Lin You's eyes were calm, deep, and carried a kind of all-knowing confidence.

silence.

A long silence.

Finally, Orange deflated like a punctured balloon, slumping back into her chair, covering her face with her hands, and letting out a low growl that was almost a groan: "I...I'm really crazy! I actually listened to you for so long..."

She lowered her hand, her face showing a resolute and ruthless determination, and gritted her teeth as she said, "You wait! I... I'll go investigate for you!"
