Douluo Continent: Disciple Tang San, righteous yet evil

Chapter 201 Don't you think Lin Mu is becoming increasingly cruel?

The next day.

Lin Mu had just returned from the Star Dou Great Forest and was about to go to the palace to find Qian Renxue when he was blocked by Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng.

Looking at the two obsequious men, Lin Mu frowned slightly and said calmly, "What do you want with me?"

"Your Majesty, I heard that you have broken through to the Title Douluo level. My nephew is not very good at cultivation. I wonder if you could give him some pointers?"

Prince Xuexing bowed and scraped before Lin Mu, his manner obsequious and utterly lacking any dignity befitting a prince.

This world has always been one where strength reigns supreme. Not to mention Prince Xuexing, even Emperor Xueye wouldn't dare to put on airs in front of Lin Mu.

The avalanche beside it was equally obsequious, but the respect on its face seemed somewhat insincere.

It is clear that this avalanche is a complete waste; even if he were to pretend, he couldn't do it convincingly. He only truly shines when he is being arrogant and domineering.

"Get the hell away from me. What kind of trash do you think you are, daring to ask me for advice? Take a good look at yourself in the mirror."

Lin Mu waved his hand dismissively, thinking that he could win him over with such petty tricks.

Given his relationship with Qian Renxue, how could a playboy like him possibly shake it?

Hearing Lin Mu's mockery, Xue Beng was furious. He clenched his fists tightly and felt an urge to fight.

At this moment, Prince Xuexing noticed the avalanche and felt a pang of sorrow, lamenting how he had ended up with such a useless teammate.

It's one thing to deal with ordinary people normally, but this time they actually wanted to attack Lin Mu.

What a joke!
It should be noted that Lin Mu was able to fight his way into the Papal Palace on his own before he broke through to the Title Douluo level. Now that he has broken through to the Title Douluo level, his strength must be even greater than before. Even the entire nation's power cannot do anything to Lin Mu.

Moreover, Emperor Xueye is about to pass the throne to Xue Qinghe, and they are nothing but stray dogs, how could they possibly mobilize an army?

Although Avalanche is useless, Prince Xuexing has no choice but to go down this path to the bitter end, since he has long been on the opposite side of Xue Qinghe.

Immediately, Prince Snowstar kicked Avalanche hard, as if to help him regain his senses.

He was about to get angry when he saw his uncle's cold eyes and immediately came to his senses.

The next moment, he suddenly knelt down in front of Lin Mu, grabbed Lin Mu's legs with both hands, and pleaded desperately:

“Your Majesty, as long as you are willing to support me to become emperor, I will listen to you in everything. No matter what conditions my elder brother promises, I will agree to them all, and I will respect you as I would my father.”

Seeing this, Prince Xuexing breathed a sigh of relief. With this combination of moves, as long as Lin Mu had even the slightest desire for power, he would definitely not refuse.

But the next second, Prince Xuexing was dumbfounded.

Lin Mu looked at Xue Beng with disdain and kicked him away without hesitation.

"boom!!"

With a loud crash, the avalanche struck a building, embedding the person in the wall. The person coughed up blood and immediately lost consciousness.

Avalanche's words would likely be useful to others, but for Lin Mu, they precisely hit two minefields.

On the one hand, his relationship with Xue Qinghe was not one of superior and subordinate. Even if one had to say that they were superior and subordinate, he would be the one above her, and Qian Renxue would only sit above her occasionally.

On the other hand, he didn't want children for the time being, let alone being worshipped as a godfather by a spoiled brat like Xue Beng, which was simply disgusting.

Seeing Xue Beng barely alive inside the wall, Prince Xue Xing was shocked and scolded, "Lin Mu, Xue Beng kindly asked you to be his adoptive father, and you actually attacked him so cruelly!"

"He's still a child!" Compared to the utterly useless Avalanche, Prince Snowstar was quite shrewd and calculating.

Since winning over Lin Mu won't work, let Emperor Xue Ye know how ruthless his methods are, so that he will give up the idea of ​​passing the throne to Xue Qinghe.

However, Lin Mu didn't care about any of that. He kicked Prince Xue Xing away again, sending him crashing precisely into the side of the avalanche.

When dealing with this kind of person, force is always more effective than reasoning.

That evening, Prince Xuexing, disregarding his still-healing injuries, dragged his weakened body to Emperor Xueye's palace.

Now that Xue Qinghe's succession to the throne is imminent, he must race against time to ensure his own survival.

"Your Majesty, your younger brother has something to report."

Seeing Xue Xing's late-night visit, Emperor Xue Ye showed some displeasure. He knew that Xue Xing's visit at this time must be about the succession.

He had already finalized the matter, but this guy still wouldn't give up. Did he really want to ruin the empire?

A moment later, he noticed Xuexing's limping gait, frowned slightly, and asked, "Xuexing, who hurt you like this?"

Regardless, Xuexing was, after all, his own younger brother. The fact that he allowed his younger brother to become a prince was enough to demonstrate his affection for Xuexing.

Even though Xuexing was more of a hindrance than a help, he didn't want to see anything happen to her.

Upon seeing this, Prince Xuexing was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this is all Lin Mudong's doing. He not only beat me up like this, but also severely injured Xue Beng, who is still unconscious!"

"what?!"

Emperor Xueye was filled with disbelief, never expecting Lin Mu to be so ruthless, daring to severely injure a prince and a royal prince.

However, he did not completely believe Xue Xing's one-sided story and immediately said in a deep voice, "Xue Xing, did you do something? Otherwise, why would Lin Mu attack you for no reason?"

“Your Majesty, I only wanted to bring Xue Beng to Lin Mu to show goodwill, but I didn’t expect him to speak ill of Xue Beng. The two of us had a conflict because of this, and I tried to stop him but ended up getting hurt like this.”

Prince Xuexing said this half-truthfully.

Upon hearing this explanation, Emperor Xueye's face darkened. He had heard many of Lin Mu's deeds, especially his attack on the Papal Palace. Putting aside other aspects, he was indeed reckless in his violence.

However, Lin Mu wouldn't have taken action if Xue Xing and Xue Beng hadn't come knocking on his door.

For the sake of the empire's bright future, even if Lin Mu takes action against members of the royal family, he can only turn a blind eye.

"Xue Xing, I know you want to win over Lin Mu in order to prevent me from passing the throne to the Crown Prince."

Upon hearing this, Prince Xuexing was startled, never expecting that his elder brother had seen through him.

After a moment, he stiffened his neck and said meaningfully, "Your Majesty, don't you think Lin Mu is becoming increasingly cruel?"

"Even Pope Bibi Dong was seriously injured by him. He doesn't even put the Spirit Hall in his eyes. What else could he possibly care about?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xueye fell silent. These words undoubtedly struck at his concerns.

Since Lin Mu already possesses such formidable strength, and is not even afraid of the Spirit Hall, why support Xue Qinghe?
Suddenly, Emperor Xueye remembered a key figure.

All of this might be related to Xue Qinghe's adopted sister. If Lin Mu falls in love with Xue Qinghe's adopted sister, then all of this can be explained.

After thinking it through, Emperor Xueye's expression returned to calm, and he said indifferently, "Xuexing, I know what you are worried about. Before passing on the throne, I will have the Crown Prince swear not to harm you."
