Douluo Dalu: The Eyes That Defy Fate

Chapter 312 An Unexpected Guest Before the Wedding
Although Ye Guyi didn't quite understand the meaning of the phrase 'conquering another world,' things had developed to this point, leaving her no room for further hesitation.

Moreover, the benefits they offered were outrageously good, and they didn't ask me to do anything that violated the angelic code or my own moral principles.

If you're still not satisfied, then you'll seem a bit tactless.

Immediately, he made up his mind, and the Angelic Martial Soul instantly possessed him. While wielding two swords, two snow-white wings shining with golden light unfolded behind him.

Then, following the royal knight etiquette popular in the original Douluo Three Kingdoms, he knelt on one knee, lowered his head slightly, and concealed his sword.

"Bone Robe swears by the Angelic Martial Soul that from this day forward, she will wield two swords, fight on the battlefield, and aid you in battle!"

"This is a one-time thing. You don't have to be so respectful when you see me in the future. You can be more casual like Dong'er and the others. I'm not a very serious person."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lin Po immediately withdrew the subtle pressure he had been emitting, and his originally slightly sharp smile became much gentler.

Ye Guyi also noticed the change in atmosphere. While feeling relaxed, she also felt a surge of excitement and anticipation.

Although the whole process was a bit off, the result was pretty much as expected.

Not only did she catch the Emperor's eye and be taken under his command, receiving rewards she never dared to dream of before, but she was also allowed to join Dong'er's group.

Doesn't this mean I've become a loyal follower?
"I understand, Bone Robe. Um, Your Majesty... Brother Lin, could I go change my clothes? I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable being all wet."

"Go ahead, you should know the Confucius Mansion better than I do."

"Okay! Brother Lin, I'll head back to my room now! See you later!"

On the other hand, Lin Po's drastically different attitude and their sibling-like conversation left Kong Deming speechless.

He looked so reluctant just moments ago, but now he's calling me "Brother Lin" so affectionately.

These days, young people really baffle this old man.

And then there's Lin Po, who had to resort to intimidation to subdue a little girl.

I really don't know how you managed to develop such a large business to this extent.

Only after Ye Guyi had completely disappeared did Kong Deming speak again, and his single word left Lin Po speechless.

"Sigh, I won't interfere too much in the affairs between you young people. Just don't let Yuexuan down."

Lin Po: “.”

What nonsense is this old man spouting? What does taking on a subordinate have to do with Sister Lexuan?
"Don't talk nonsense! I only took her in as my subordinate because I thought the Angelic Martial Soul was rare and would be very useful in the future! I had no other intentions!"

Kong Deming was taken aback upon hearing this. So he had misunderstood?
That makes sense. The Emperor's mansion is already teeming with beautiful women; if another one were to enter, it would probably cause a huge uproar.

But given that girl's arrogant nature, would she still be interested in anyone else after meeting Lin?

Will I become an old maid? Otherwise...
Thinking of this, Kong Deming quickly suppressed his distracting thoughts and cursed himself for being too old and worrying unnecessarily.

"Ahem, let's not talk about that. By the way, how's your preparation going? There's less than a month left until the wedding, so let's not mess things up!"

"Look at what you're saying! We can let other things slide, but this is the one thing we absolutely cannot afford to mess up!" Lin Po patted his chest and assured him.

Unfortunately, before he could even say a few tough words, his tone immediately softened considerably when he began to explain.

"Besides, Sister Lexuan doesn't let me get involved."

"She handled all the wedding arrangements herself, big and small, so I didn't need to do anything."

"It's the same over there in the dark clouds! In all my life, this is the first time I've ever been disliked by subordinates of the New Holy Church, and I can't even get the justice out of it."

"As for the other ministers and officials, needless to say, they would run away like cats seeing mice when they saw me, as if I were some kind of monster."

Lin Po grew angrier as he spoke, and his originally calm voice became increasingly loud and erratic, his discontent audible throughout most of the Confucius Mansion.

At the same time, Wang Dong'er and Ju Zi dragged Huo Yuhao out of the corner with satisfaction, and happened to see their older brother swearing profusely.

With the intention of relieving her elder brother's worries, Wang Dong'er immediately offered a suggestion, attempting to find him something to do.

"Brother Lin, don't you have any good friends you need to invite? Why don't you take advantage of the time you have and make a trip?"

Upon hearing this, the entire courtyard fell into complete silence; you could hear a pin drop.

Is this girl out of her mind? If Lin Po had a decent friend, would he be wandering around aimlessly all day long?

Can't you tell what can and can't be said?

Especially Ju Zi, whose gaze toward Wang Dong'er was filled with disbelief.

She had always considered Wang Dong'er her primary enemy, constantly backing down in matters concerning Huo Yuhao. Turns out, she only had the advantage of being first to arrive!
If I had known she was brainless like this, why did I wait half a year to finally get my hands on her?

Kong Deming was also somewhat helpless.

His disciple was of superior talent, temperament, and diligence, and usually gave him a lot of peace of mind.

His biggest headache was that he didn't like to use his brain.

It's alright when Huo Yuhao isn't around; he'll use it a little bit.

But with her lover back, Wang Dong'er seemed to have thrown her brain to the outskirts of Mingdu, shouting "Yuhao" at the slightest problem.

Then Huo Yuhao would happily run to her side and solve all her problems.

I'm afraid they'll use all their remaining brainpower to outwit and outmaneuver the oranges.

"Huh? Brother Lin, why is your face so dark? Did you go out to fight just now? Do you need Gu Yi's help?"

Fortunately, Ye Guyi's sudden appearance broke the increasingly awkward atmosphere in the courtyard, allowing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Sigh, Orange, I shouldn't pry into the relationship between the three of you. Please take care of it."

"Ah? Oh! Okay, Brother Emperor Lin!" Orange was overjoyed and responded incoherently.

"Gu Yi, after you switch your cultivation method and absorb the immortal herbs, go to the palace. Sister Le Xuan will arrange things for you."

After saying that, Lin Po's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace.

"Okay. Teacher, what's wrong with Brother Lin? He seems a bit strange."

"Hehe, your Brother Lin is fine. He was just accidentally pushed to his limit by your senior sister."

"Who would have thought that the mighty Moon Soul Emperor was a lonely man without even a close friend?"

Kong Deming's gloating expression only confused Ye Guyi more, and she turned to look at Wang Dong'er and the other two without understanding why.

"Sister?"

"Maybe... I said something wrong again? Yuhao, why didn't you stop me?!"

Huo Yuhao: "???"

Me, stop me? If I could stop you, great! With your mouth opening and closing like that, what can I use to shut you up?

However, after spending a long time together, Huo Yuhao also understood a crucial point.

Regardless of whether he is right or wrong, his girlfriend is always right.

And so, the boy once again began his daily task of comforting the girl.

Seeing this, Ju Zi felt a mix of emotions, and her desire to possess Huo Yuhao vanished instantly.

She knew perfectly well that some people stood there and embodied the truth, which no ordinary person could defy.

Rather than ending up with nothing, it's better to take the initiative to concede.

Anyway, given her intelligence, she definitely won't suffer losses in the future.

And so, Kong Deming watched the play, Ju Zi pondered the future, and Huo Yuhao comforted Wang Dong'er; everyone had their own things to do.

Only Ye Guyi stood there all alone, like a badger in a melon patch but unable to find any melons, sweating profusely with anxiety.

. . .

A month passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Empress and the Emperor's wedding.

After a year of meticulous preparation by the entire Sun Moon Empire, tomorrow's unprecedented wedding will benefit every corner of the Douluo Continent.

It truly achieved universal celebration.

However, while millions of people in Mingdu were singing and dancing, Lin Po, the male protagonist of the wedding, sat leisurely in the Emperor's mansion, smiling as he looked at the group of people in front of him.

"I never expected that these rats, who hide and dare not show their faces, would actually have the audacity to appear openly in Mingdu on the day of my wedding."

"What? You think nobody can smell the stench of sex on you?"
