"He killed the Crown Prince, and he deserves to die!" the Fire King responded.
"Do you have any evidence?" Princess Fire Lotus inquired.
Although she believed that the Crown Prince was killed by Lin Yifan, she also wasn't present at the ti, making it hard to prove.
Even if the Crown Prince was indeed killed by Lin Yifan, she would absolutely not stand up for him, because he asked for it.
"This person had a falling-out with the Crown Prince in the Red Lotus Secret Realm, everyone knows it. If not him, then who?" The Fire King couldn't produce concrete evidence, so he could only retort.
"The entire Red Lotus Palace collapsed, and only a few people ca out in the end; Father, how can you bla him?" Princess Fire Lotus countered.
"Anyway, I just feel it's him."
"Isn't it absurd for you to be like this? How can a distinguished ruler of a nation rule so frivolously and unreasonably?"
"What did you say? You actually dare call a muddle-headed ruler? Are you tired of living?"
"I am rely speaking the truth on its own rits."
"Enough! No matter what, I must have him killed today."
"Fine, if Father kills him today, then I also don't want to live anymore." Princess Fire Lotus threatened with her life.
"You... Are you threatening ?"
The Fire King's face turned blue with anger, truly unable to resist the urge to punish Princess Fire Lotus.
"I wouldn't dare; I just think Father's actions are too unreasonable," Princess Fire Lotus respectfully replied.
"You really infuriate ."
The Fire King's chest was heaving, and he could not calm his angry mood for a long ti.
After a while, he spoke: "I won't kill him, but you absolutely cannot marry him!"
"Why? He and I are in love, why can't we be together?" Princess Fire Lotus asked.
These words made Lin Yifan feel a bit annoyed, and he retorted: "Fire Lotus girl, I do not have mutual feelings of love with you, please don't indulge in your own fantasy."
"Look, he even denied it, and yet you shalessly offered yourself only to get rejected, isn't that foolish?"
The Fire King knew it all along; from start to finish, it was just Lian'er being infatuated by herself. Too foolish, too foolish. How could he have such a foolish daughter?
"He has affection for but lacks the courage to love ; as long as Father agrees, he will treat sincerely," Princess Fire Lotus explained shalessly, having completely given up.
Lin Yifan grew increasingly irritated and scolded: "Fire Lotus girl, if you still value past ties, if you still consider your friend, please do not say such things that are contrary to facts."
"Why? Was all the kindness you showed before just fake?" Princess Fire Lotus asked.
"Completely out of a sense of chivalry and coming to one's aid, please don't indulge in fantasies." Lin Yifan replied.
"What a heartless man, this princess really misjudged you."
Her last hope extinguished, Princess Fire Lotus felt utterly despondent.
Originally, she thought that by reminding him like this, Lin Yifan would feel a bit guilty. As a result, this kid was completely indifferent to having seen her body, leaving absolutely no hope.
With her warmth t with a cold slap, she felt too ashad to remain in the hall. She turned around to leave.
Just at that mont, an important figure who accompanied her shouted, "Princess! Princess! Don't want the Winged Fire Pearl?"
"Winged Fire Pearl?"
Upon hearing these three words, the pupils of the entire court of officials dilated; they were discussing intensively.
This was sothing Princess Fire Lotus had set out to obtain in the Fiery Mountain Range, and now that she seemingly obtained it, it was apparently not in Princess Fire Lotus's hands.
"Where is the Winged Fire Pearl?" The Fire King asked coldly from above.
"Reporting to the Emperor, it's in this kid's hands!" the important figure from the Heavenly Fire Kingdom answered.
The Fire King looked at Lin Yifan, who was suppressed on the ground below him, and ordered with a stern tone, "Hand over the Winged Fire Pearl obediently."
"Are you sure you want the Winged Fire Pearl?"
Lin Yifan's eyes were as still as water, dead silent, seemingly harboring an invisible murderous intent.
"What? Could it be that you can overturn the heavens?" The Fire King coldly questioned.
Nobody had ever dared to stare at him like this, threatening him, questioning him, which sowhat provoked him.
"I advise you to think twice before acting."
Lin Yifan stood proud and aloof, never bowing to the Fire King, at least in spirit.
"How dare you, who do you think you are? Do you think you can kill ?" The Fire King slamd the table, venting his anger.
At this mont, Princess Fire Lotus kindly reminded, "Father, if you want the Heavenly Fire Kingdom to continue to exist in this world, and if you wish to live longer, don't oppose him."
"Why?"
"He is a cultivator from the higher plane world, with a background boundless in scale," Princess Fire Lotus answered.
Actually, this was her speculation, with a bit of intentional exaggeration, aiming to intimidate her father into sparing Lin Yifan.
If she couldn't have it, she wouldn't destroy it with her own hands; besides, if people don't understand gratitude, what's the point of living?
"What? He's a cultivator from the higher plane world?"
The Fire King and all the officials were stunned. They never expected Lin Yifan's identity to be such.
Actually, they had a faint suspicion earlier; after all, soone with such talent necessarily belonged to the elite of the higher plane world.
The Fire King had heard a bit of news from the Thunder King, saying this person was their Kingdom of Leizhen's acting national duke.
It's extrely difficult for a foreigner, an outsider, to beco an acting national duke, especially at such a young age; so there's a chance this kid really is a high-status cultivator from the higher plane world.
Such a person indeed has the ability to obliterate their Heavenly Fire Kingdom.
But, would he hand over the Winged Fire Pearl so easily? That would be too much of a loss of sovereignty, wouldn't it?
After thinking it over, he decided to let Lian'er handle it: "My child, if it were you, how would you resolve this?"
"Being friends with him is far better than being enemies. Even if we can't be friends, we should try not to be enemies." Princess Fire Lotus replied.
The Fire King was relieved, having found his answer.
He followed Lian'er's advice and released Lin Yifan, letting bygones be bygones.
Regaining his freedom, Lin Yifan imdiately stood up and questioned the Fire King from above, "How do you plan to repay today's humiliation?"
"Kid, letting you go is kindness, don't be ungrateful." The Fire King replied, trying to stay calm.
"Fine! Soday you'll kneel before like this too!"
Having issued a harsh retort, Lin Yifan turned and left.
At this point, the Fire King could no longer hold back.
No matter his powerful backing, so what? In this World of All Things, as long as he doesn't wish to die, it's tough for anyone to kill him, and so he shouted in anger, "Stop, who allowed you to leave?"
"What do you want?"
Lin Yifan slightly turned his head and interrogated coldly.
"I want to kill you!"
The Fire King's eyes were filled with rage, no longer able to tolerate a person who repeatedly tested his limits.
Feeling the terrifying power approaching, Lin Yifan imdiately took out a scroll, ready to fight back.
Seeing this, Princess Fire Lotus felt sothing was wrong and quickly dashed between them to stop the fight.
"Father! You can't kill him!"
