I, the Holy Son of Yaoguang, am invincible in the world / Even my beautiful master is invincible.

It's virtually impossible for Princess Chiling to pass the royal examination.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao actually did it.

Moreover, it caused the Southern Sky Alliance to suffer a great loss.

Even geniuses like Xing Zang and Ye Baifeng were in a sorry state.

"Thank you, Your Excellency, Elder Zheng..."

Princess Chiling expressed her gratitude politely.

"Princess, you must now go to see His Majesty and obtain the imperial edict..."

Prime Minister Qian Wenshu reminded him.

The edict he spoke of was the imperial edict.

Having completed the royal examination and received the imperial edict, Princess Chiling's status as the heir to the throne is now unshakeable.

"Holy Son, would you be willing to come with me to see Father Emperor?"

Princess Chiling said with anticipation.

"Row!"

Lin Xiao nodded.

Liu Qingfeng stayed behind to wait.

Lin Xiao followed Princess Chiling, and led by several eunuchs, towards the depths of the palace.

Not long after, Lin Xiao met Su Xuandou, the emperor of the Biyu Dynasty.

Su Xuandou sat upright on the dragon throne.

But he looked very unwell, giving Lin Xiao the feeling that he was on his last legs.

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

Lin Xiao did not kneel down to pay his respects, but simply cupped his hands in greeting.

"You're too kind, Holy Son!"

Su Xuandou nodded slightly.

Given Lin Xiao's status, he was even on equal footing with him, so there was no need for him to kneel like the others.

"I must thank the Holy Son for helping Lingyin complete the royal assessment!"

Su Xuandou continued.

Chapter 204 The Emperor's Forced Marriage

Su Xuandou didn't have much of an emperor's airs.

This is also related to Lin Xiao's identity.

He frequently looked Lin Xiao up and down, and the smile on his face unconsciously became more pronounced.

Lin Xiao felt a chill run down his spine.

Gradually, Su Xuandou began to introduce the princes and princesses of the royal family.

He was a hardworking emperor.

He has many children.

However, most of them are not very successful.

The one he valued most was Princess Chiling, who was also the most beautiful princess.

However, the rules for the royal examinations were established by the royal ancestors.

Even Su Xuandou cannot forcibly alter it.

Now that Princess Chiling has completed the royal assessment, he can finally relax.

The imperial edict had already been drafted.

Lin Xiao calmed down and carefully examined the appearances of the many princesses, discovering a strange situation that amused him. Each princess had some flaws in her appearance, making her less than beautiful, except for Princess Chiling, whose features were like a sculpture. It was as if all the others were prototypes, while Princess Chiling was the masterpiece.

Finally, his gaze settled on the emperor.

"Is His Majesty's injury truly beyond cure?"

Lin Xiao asked.

His opinion of Su Xuandou has improved considerably.

He had also noticed that when Princess Chiling looked at Su Xuandou, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

If we can save Su Xuandou, that would certainly be a good thing.

"In this world, there are always some wounds that cannot be healed by medicine."

Su Xuandou shook his head slightly.

"What if we ask my masters to help?"

Lin Xiao said.

He didn't mention anything about rare or precious materials.

He's the emperor... oops! As a dignified emperor, he naturally has no shortage of rare and precious treasures.

"The Second Fairy once sent someone over; if there's a way, she should be able to save me."

Su Xuandou shook his head.

"That's it!"

Lin Xiao nodded slightly and asked, "Who injured His Majesty? Could it be related to the Southern Heaven Alliance?"

"The Holy Son is indeed wise!"

Su Xuandou remained noncommittal, but did not mention the specific details of the incident. Instead, he asked, "Holy Son, what do you think of Lingyin?"

"?"

Lin Xiao was somewhat confused.

However, she still said, "Lingyin is a beauty of unparalleled grace and gentleness!"

"Does the Holy Son intend to marry Lingyin? In that case, the Holy Son Yaoguang and the Biyu Dynasty would be even closer than if they were related by marriage!"

Su Xuandou laughed.

"This one……"

Lin Xiao was taken aback.

He hadn't expected Su Xuandou to suddenly make this suggestion.

Hey old man, I treat you like a brother, and you actually want to be my father-in-law?

"Father, you...you shouldn't talk nonsense."

Princess Chiling blushed and gave Su Xuandou a reproachful look.

"No one knows a daughter better than her father, Lingyin! Your father is really helping you."

Su Xuandou thought to himself.

He had long noticed that Princess Chiling's gaze towards Lin Xiao was always full of affection, completely different from how she looked at others.

"Holy Son, what is your opinion?"

Su Xuandou looked at Lin Xiao and continued, "From now on, Lingyin will be the Empress of the Biyu Dynasty, and she will surely become your wise and capable wife, Holy Son."

"Marriage is a very important matter, and I need to go back and discuss it with my masters," Lin Xiao said.

What's there to discuss?

If I were to tell Ye Guo'er, it would be like setting fire to my own backyard.

Only a fool would do that.

"Alas! Poor old man like me, all alone."

Su Xuandou suddenly sighed, "If Lingyin doesn't find someone she can entrust her life to, I'm afraid I won't be able to die in peace!"

What you call being lonely and widowed?

Are all your more than one hundred children cheated on with other men?

Lin Xiao could easily see that Su Xuandou was trying to gain sympathy.

"Your Majesty, it's really not a big deal to leave with your eyes open," Lin Xiao comforted him.

"..."

Su Xuandou's lips twitched a few times.

"Father, you...you must stop talking. Your daughter will take her leave now."

Princess Chiling pulled Lin Xiao away.

Two grown men were discussing her marriage in front of her, and as an unmarried princess, she couldn't help but feel shy.

When they returned to the square, Lin Xiao called Liu Qingfeng, and together they went back to the Princess's residence.

……

Jade Sea Villa!

He Tianhong, Wuma Zhi, Ziyun Zhenren, Lei Zhu, etc.

And many powerful figures from the six major sects gathered together.

The atmosphere was oppressive and somber.

"We have paid a heavy price and made long-term preparations to take over the Azure Feather Dynasty. We cannot let it go just because of Lin Xiao."

He Tianhong said coldly.

"That's right!"

"So what if I fail the royal examination?"
