Chapter 1129 To War (14)

?

Once Lin Fan left the throne room, there was a silence that followed.

But then all of the ministers and generals couldn't help venting the feelings that they felt towards Lin Fan.

The arrogance that he had, the way that he had blamed them for being weak, the way that he almost ordered them to do what he wanted them to do. All of this really got under their skin and annoyed these proud generals and ministers.

However, even if they did all this to vent, there was no real complaint that they had since Lin Fan was right.

He was here to help them, that was the bottom line.

So he was fully justified to act arrogantly if he wanted to, especially since the information that he had and the power he had demonstrated made it clear that he would be able to change the tide of the battle.

Since they couldn't vent themselves, they all turned to Lu Fei Yu to vent.

After all, it was because of her report that they had already formed an impression of Lin Fan.

They had wanted to treat him based on that impression, but it turned out that this impression was wrong in the first place.

So they could only blame Lu Fei Yu who had given them this misconception in the first place.

Lu Fei Yu just said with a bitter smile, "That was how he acted when we met him. I just reported everything that I saw, I can't help it if he acted differently from how he acted around me." Then after a pause, Lu Fei Yu added, "I'm sure that young master Lin has a reason for acting this way."

"You're still defending him!"

"Are you from the Lin Astral Family or the Lu Astral Family!"

"I think you might as well change your surname to Lin at this point!"

The ministers and generals all threw their complaints on Lu Fei Yu which made the bitter smile on her face even wider.

But in the end, the Lu Astral Emperor slammed his fist on the armrest of his throne and he said in a commanding voice, "Enough!"

The moment that his powerful voice rang out, all of the ministers and generals fell silent.

The Lu Astral Emperor's eyes swept across everyone in the room which caused them to look down from the pressure he exerted on them.

Finally the Lu Astral Emperor gave a snort before saying, "If it wasn't for all of your incompetence, would we be in this situation? If it wasn't for you failing in all of the tasks given to you, would others be able to look down on us?"

The moment that he said this, all of the ministers and generals looked down again.

After all, he was right…

It was their fault that their Lu Astral Empire was in this situation in the first place, so if they wanted to blame anyone, they should be blaming themselves. But not a single one of them wanted to take this blame, which was why they had been venting on Lin Fan the entire time.

The Lu Astral Emperor saw that not a single one of them dared to look up, so he said with a sigh, "If you don't get your act together, we might not even be worthy of allying with the Lin Astral Empire at this rate. When that time comes…"

He didn't finish his sentence, but the implied meaning was clear.

All of the ministers and generals couldn't help feeling a shiver run down their spine.

They had seen how excellent Lin Fan was and when comparing Lu Fei Yu to him…it was a bit disappointing.

But they were the future rulers of their respective Astral Empires, so if Lu Fei Yu was inferior to Lin Fan…that would mean a bad future for them.

One of the ministers suddenly raised his head and gave a bold suggestion, "Should we…take care of the scion of the Lin Astral Empire before he goes back. Should we prepare some kind of accident for him?"

There was a long silence that followed after the minister said this.

But then all of a sudden, there was a powerful pressure that fell onto this minister that crushed him into the ground.

The moment that the other ministers and generals felt this, they immediately trembled and moved away from that minister.

The Lu Astral Emperor gave a snort before saying, "Dismiss this fool and throw his whole family out."

The guards quickly came forward to take the minister who had been knocked out away.

Once he was gone, the Lu Astral Emperor's eyes swept over the hall again as he said, "Are there any other fools here?"

At this question, all of the ministers and generals quickly shook their heads before lowering them to pretend that they were invisible.

The Lu Astral Emperor gave a snort again before saying, "That Lin Fan was even able to confidently go against the pressure that I put on him, so his power isn't weak. If we want to even hurt him, we would have to move one of the ancestors and the Lin Astral Empire won't sit still if that happens. So even if we wanted to do something to him, it would be impossible for us."

When the ministers and generals heard this, they couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat again.

After all, they never thought that the Lu Astral Emperor would actually admit something like this.

But if he actually admitted this, then there was no doubt that this was true…

So this made them even more fearful of Lin Fan.

The Lu Astral Emperor said after a pause, "The only way forward for us is to build a closer relationship with the Lin Astral Empire, with that Lin Fan. If I hear any more foolish ideas, you can be sure that I won't spare any more fools."

The ministers and generals all nodded when they heard this.

The Lu Astral Emperor was about to say something else, but there was a voice that suddenly cut in, "Royal father, may I have permission to follow young master Lin onto the battlefield."

When this voice rang out, everyone couldn't help turning in the direction that it came from with surprised looks.

That was because the one that had spoken was Lu Fei Yu.

After looking at Lu Fei Yu with a surprised look, the Lu Astral Emperor suddenly revealed a wide smile.

He never thought that this daughter of his would take this kind of prerogative and offer to go to the battlefield like this.

After all, the other plan that he had was to get Lu Fei Yu closer to Lin Fan.

Only then would their Lu Astral Empire be able to ally themselves with the Lin Astral Empire in the future.

This would be dangerous, but if Lu Fei Yu followed Lin Fan, he was certain that she would be safe. After all, the feeling that he got from Lin Fan wasn't normal.

He wasn't sure what it was, but even the Lu Astral Emperor felt threatened by Lin Fan even though he was a junior.

So he was certain that Lu Fei Yu would be safe with him.

After a moment of silence, the Lu Astral Emperor still said with a serious tone, "This will be a very dangerous matter. Are you sure that you wish to follow him?"

Lu Fei Yu nodded without hesitation as she said, "Young master Lin is helping out Lu Astral Empire, how can I hide in the capital. I should head to the battlefield with him and fight for our Lu Astral Empire."

The Lu Astral Emperor gave a satisfied nod when he heard this before saying, "You are free to follow him onto the battlefield." Then after a pause, his voice softened a bit before he said, "Just look after yourself, alright?"

Even if he was the Astral Emperor, it didn't change the fact that Lu Fei Yu was his daughter.

That was right, Lu Fei Yu was the Lu Astral Emperor's daughter and not his granddaughter.

That was because this Lu Astral Emperor was one that had taken the throne not that long ago. He was still quite the young Astral Emperor, so his mind had flexibility that some of the older ones wouldn't.

That was how he had thought of the plan to befriend Lin Fan right away.

He had even thought about engaging Lu Fei Yu with him to secure an alliance with the Lin Astral Empire, but that was only a thought. After all, it wasn't that simple to engage people when they had these statuses.

Plus there was a part of him that didn't want to let his daughter go…

But most of it was because he knew that it would be impossible without causing a large fuss.

Since he had given his permission, Lu Fei Yu didn't stay here any longer.

She gave a bow to the Lu Astral Emperor before leaving the throne room as well.

The two Ruler Realm Experts who had been guarding her the entire time looked at the Lu Astral Emperor with hesitant looks. When they saw him nod at them, they gave a slight bow to the Lu Astral Emperor before following Lu Fei Yu out.

As for the rest of the ministers and generals, they just stood there awkwardly.

Since the Lu Astral Emperor didn't say a thing, it wasn't as if they could just excuse themselves.

Finally, the Lu Astral Emperor waved his hand and said, "Get out."

The ministers and generals didn't waste a single second in leaving.

With the way that they scattered, it was almost as if their lives had been pardoned.

But the Lu Astral Emperor just sat there with a deep look in his eyes.
