Chapter 215 Okay, can I have the last name Mu?
Upon hearing this, the Imperial Master's eyes flashed.
He looked at the enchanting woman in front of him in surprise, wondering how she could have known. But he couldn't admit it, so he pretended to be calm and said, "Nonsense! This is how you squeezed me out."
"I don't know why people in the Lin family would flock to learn some kind of immortal cultivation method because of me." Lin Xuxi did not intend to hide his identity.
When she learned why the previous dynasty fell, she even felt that she had a role to play. If she hadn't left, there wouldn't be so many people wanting to practice cultivation. Even though the royal family had so many intelligent children, it still ended up like this.
This is because those smart children all hold unrealistic fantasies in seeking immortals and asking for the truth.
"You, what do you mean?" The Imperial Master was puzzled at first, then subconsciously took a small step back after realizing something. He was so frightened that his body staggered. If he hadn't held onto the altar, he would have fallen onto the incense ash.
"You are! You are the eldest princess!"
He was initially skeptical, but then he thought about how this woman had suddenly appeared, knew all this, and was even treated with respect by the emperor. His skepticism turned into a bit of belief, and he hurriedly asked, "What's your name?"
"Lin Xuxi."
This name was only known by the Lin family. Even the current emperor did not know the name of the eldest princess who went to practice Taoism. He knew it from the letters left by his grandfather.
He then learned that a royal aunt had been spotted by an immortal and had gone on to cultivate immortality. His grandfather had also abandoned his wealth and status for this very reason, retiring to the mountains to cultivate Taoism.
After a moment of shock and bewilderment, Lin Xuanji felt happy again. He suddenly lifted his Taoist robe, knelt down, and kowtowed, begging, "Now that you have achieved enlightenment and returned, you should restore the Lin Kingdom!"
It seems that fate has indeed not destroyed the Lin family. The imperial aunt has finally returned, and with boundless magical powers, the restoration of the Lin Kingdom is just around the corner.
Lin Xuxi saw madness in the other person's eyes.
"What happens after the restoration?" Lin Xuxi asked.
"Of course you will be the queen. As for the others, it doesn't matter!" Lin Xuanji crawled over on his knees, grabbed his ancestor's hand, and said expectantly, "The Lin Kingdom is saved! It's saved!"
Hearing this, Lin Xuxi couldn't help laughing and asked, "Do you think I can be the emperor?"
"If you can cultivate immortality, why can't you become an emperor!" If cultivating immortality is so difficult, then why can't you become an emperor? Lin Xuanji didn't understand, so he asked, "Don't you want to, Auntie?"
Lin Xuxi shook her head and said, "I'm not here to restore the Lin Kingdom, I'm just here to take something." She bent down and helped the Imperial Master up, saying soothingly, "You'd better leave quickly. Although I'm covering up for you, the Emperor is not an easy person to deal with. He'll investigate your background. If he finds out, you won't be able to leave."
"No, aunt, don't you plan to teach these traitors a lesson? Don't you plan to avenge the Lin family?" Lin Xuanji was helped up, his eyes full of confusion.
He thought he could be saved and that this matter would be much simpler.
Lin Xuxi faced his gaze and shook her head, saying, "The cycle of fate and the change of dynasties are not something I can influence."
"no!"
"And what about after the restoration? You will be the emperor? No, you won't be the emperor, and neither will I." Lin Xuxi has lived in the royal family since she was a child. She knows what she should learn as an emperor.
Lin Xuanji was puzzled. "You, why don't you know how to do it?"
"Twenty years ago, there was war and people were living in misery. Now there is war again, can they still live a peaceful life?" Lin Xuxi sighed.
"Aunt Imperial, I never thought you could be so indifferent. You watched the Lin family's kingdom being taken away by traitors and villains, and you remained indifferent!"
Lin Xuanji still refused and knelt down, begging, "Auntie, please help the Lin family."
His original plan was to use Taoism to get close to the emperor. If he couldn't kill the emperor, he would slowly interfere in government affairs. He would eventually be able to do something.
When he heard that the person opposite him was indeed Lin Xuxi, he was extremely happy and felt that there was hope for restoration.
But she never thought that she would not help. She watched helplessly as those traitors, the enemies who killed her descendants, sat firmly in power!
How ironic!
"Royal aunt, I never thought you would be such a person! Hahahaha!" Lin Xuanji felt that at this moment, his previous persistence was a joke.
He is now in his forties and has been working for restoration since his twenties. What kind of person is he?
"Lin Xuanji." Lin Xuxi sighed.
"Shut up!"
Lin Xuanji suddenly pointed at Lin Xuxi's nose and cursed, "How can someone like you still call yourself a member of the Lin family? How ridiculous! How lamentable! If it weren't for you, that dog emperor might have died long ago. You are saving the people who destroyed your family. How can you deserve the surname Lin? It's ridiculous! How could the Lin family produce someone like you?"
"I know you hate me in your heart." Lin Xuxi did not intend to explain, she just said: "You should leave quickly." If it were not for the fact that he was a member of the Lin family, she would not care.
"I should be telling you this!"
Lin Xuanji swung his sleeves, puffing his beard and glaring angrily. He sneered, "Since you don't want to help the Lin Kingdom restore its rule, then get out! Go cultivate your immortality and stay out of the world of affairs."
"Aren't the people living well?" Lin Xuxi asked.
"Okay, yes! But!"
Lin Xuxi interrupted him and sighed, "I know the Lin family was overthrown, but even if I cultivate immortality, I can't influence such a major event as the change of dynasty. I killed the emperor, and then what? Neither you nor I can become emperor. We will watch the world continue to suffer, and then we will start fighting and countless people will die."
"So what? If you had shown up earlier, the Lin family wouldn't be in this state! You are the culprit, Lin Xuxi, you really don't deserve the surname Lin."
Lin Xuxi shrugged indifferently and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll change my surname to Mu." It's just a surname, she doesn't care much about it.
"You, you!" Lin Xuanji was so angry that he almost died.
The Taoist temple suddenly fell silent.
Lin Xuxi didn't say anything, just listened to Lin Xuanji's heavy breathing.
She waited until the other person calmed down before explaining, "I can't do anything, but I want to save you. Have you been hiding in the mountains all this time, waiting until the new dynasty is established before coming out?"
"So what? I'm not you. I would have come a long time ago to plan the restoration, and you? Not only did you arrive late, but you also saved the emperor. How ridiculous and pathetic!"
Lin Xuxi roughly understood after hearing that he had never come out before.
She walked over, stretched out her hand towards Lin Xuanji, and lightly touched his brow with her index finger.
A long series of memories suddenly appeared in Lin Xuanji's mind: the common people exchanging their own children for food, and the emperor cutting open the bellies of pregnant women alive and taking out the fetuses for sacrifice.
It is a lot of suffering for the people.
These were things he had never seen before when he was practicing Taoism. They were so shocking that they all rushed into his head at once. Lin Xuanji was so scared that he fell to the ground, shaking all over.
