Chapter 5811 It turns out that Luo Hua intends to follow the flowing water!
Pan Qing didn't know why and asked: "Why did the Holy Son say this?"
Lin Bai pondered and said: "When he came back, His Highness Prince Chen mentioned Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue intentionally or unintentionally. His Highness Prince Chen obviously did not do this unintentionally."
Pan Qing frowned slightly and said: "Chu Tinghan, Chu Tingxue...the biological daughter of Prince Liang, the current princess?"
Lin Bai said: "There is a high probability that King Liang will take Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue to participate in this autumn hunt."
Pan Qing immediately understood what Lin Bai and His Highness Prince Chen meant.
The King of Liang is the most powerful military king in the Chu Kingdom today. He controls many powerful men in the military and has a high prestige.
He was already one of the most favorable contenders for the throne. If King Liang brought Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue to participate this time, he must have deliberately chosen a suitable husband for Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue.
Lin Bai is the strongest saint son among the current generation saint sons of the five families and seven sects of the Chu Kingdom. There is no doubt that he will become the target of His Highness Prince Liang's consideration.
If Lin Bai really fell in the eyes of King Liang in the end and King Liang asked Emperor Chu for marriage, Emperor Chu would probably have to agree.
But now Tianshui Sect and Lin Bai are both under the command of His Highness King Chen, and they have paid so much to win the trust of His Highness King Chen.
If Prince Liang interferes, even if Lin Bai rejects Prince Liang in the end, a seed of doubt will inevitably be planted in the heart of His Highness Prince Chen, and the trust finally established in front of His Highness Prince Chen will collapse in an instant.
When His Highness King Chen left the imperial city, he specifically mentioned Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue in front of Lin Bai, just to remind Lin Bai that it was best for Lin Bai to understand the current situation.
Lin Bai understood the implication of His Highness Prince Chen's words, and at the same time, Lin Bai himself did not want to participate in the royal family's autumn hunt.
Pan Qing frowned and asked: "In other words...His Royal Highness Chen Wang deliberately mentioned Chu Tinghan and Chu Tingxue in front of you, and informed you of the harsh situation between the royal family and the military king, hoping to make you think about it carefully?
"
Lin Bai said: "And I don't really want to participate in the autumn hunting held by the royal family."
Pan Qing nodded and said: "I want to send a letter to the sect first about this matter, and ask the sect leader to discuss it with several other ancestors before making a decision."
"After all, this matter is no small matter."
Lin Bai nodded and agreed, and Pan Qing went to deliver the message.
About three days later, Pan Qing called Lin Bai, Qiao Mo, Qin Yao and others here.
Pan Qing said: "The sect has already given a response, saying that it is up to you to make the decision. If you don't want to participate in the royal family's autumn hunting, you must also think of a foolproof strategy so as not to offend the royal family."
Thinking of a foolproof strategy?
This put Lin Bai in a difficult position.
What method do you want to come up with? How can you not offend the royal family, but also allow Lin Bai to retreat as a whole?
Qiao Mo suddenly blushed and said softly: "Ancestor, I had an engagement with Holy Son Lin Bai when we were in Tianshui Sect... I wonder if I can use this as an excuse?"
Pan Qing's eyes lit up, he looked at Qiao Mo, nodded and said, "This is indeed a good idea."
"I immediately went into the palace to see Emperor Chu and explain the reason."
After saying that, Pan Qing wanted to turn around and leave.
But after walking a few steps, he asked again: "Are you two really..."
Hearing this, Qiao Mo immediately blushed and hurriedly explained: "When I made the engagement with Senior Brother Lin Bai that day, it was because Senior Brother Lin Bai wanted to take back Baisheng Tower for me. In fact, there was nothing else between us...
What...feelings!"
When Qiao Mo said the last few words, his face looked slightly depressed.
A few moments.
Qiao Mo regained his composure and said, "Besides, Senior Brother Lin Bai also said... that he is already married and is just temporarily separated from his wife."
Pan Qing nodded slightly, looked at Qiao Mo's expression, and noticed that Qin Yao was also depressed, and immediately understood what was going on.
"It turns out that the falling flowers follow the flowing water intentionally, but the flowing water has no intention of falling in love with the falling flowers."
"Why."
Pan Qing turned around and left, walked out in a few steps, and disappeared into the courtyard.
Lin Bai cupped his hands and thanked him: "Thank you, Senior Sister Qiao Mo."
Qiao Mo chuckled and said: "Senior brother Lin Bai, there is no need to say thank you, we are just thinking about the sect."
The two people's titles were particularly strange. Lin Bai called both Qiao Mo and Qin Yao senior sister, while Qin Yao and Qiao Mo sometimes called Lin Bai "holy son" and sometimes called Lin Bai "senior brother".
This is mainly because when Lin Bai entered the sect, his cultivation level was not very high. According to the rules, he should be Qiao Mo and Qin Yao's junior brother.
Now, Lin Bai's cultivation strength has surpassed that of Qiao Mo and Qin Yao, and he is the Holy Son of Tianshui Sect, so according to the rules, they should call Lin Bai Senior Brother, or Holy Son.
But rules are rules. Qiao Mo and Qin Yao helped Lin Bai a lot when Lin Bai entered Tianshui Sect. Even though his cultivation level now surpassed theirs, Lin Bai still couldn't call them junior sisters.
Therefore, we can only call each other his own.
Lin Bai called them Senior Sister, and they called Lin Bai Senior Brother or Holy Son.
To each his own.
After Pan Qing left the Tianshui Sect's palace, he came to the palace without stopping and saw Emperor Chu in the Golden Palace.
The two have been friends for many years, and they exchanged pleasantries when they met.
Emperor Chu smiled and said: "Pan Qing, let's be honest, you never like to come to my Golden Palace, and you are the master who doesn't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. You must not have come here today just to rekindle old friendship with me, right?"
"
Pan Qing laughed and said: "Emperor Chu is Emperor Chu. He is wise and powerful, and his eyes are as bright as a torch."
Emperor Chu smiled bitterly: "When did you learn how to flatter others? If you had learned this thousands of years ago, you would have already become famous."
"Haha." Pan Qing smiled slightly and said, "After all, tens of thousands of years have passed, enough to change a person."
Emperor Chu nodded, did not make any jokes with Pan Qing, and said, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Pan Qing cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, is the royal family's autumn hunt about to be held?"
Emperor Chu muttered: "Yes, I have handed over this matter to Prince Chen to prepare, and it will start in about one or two months."
Pan Qing sighed: "The Autumn Hunting of the Royal Family was originally a stage prepared by the Royal Family for the young talents in the Chu Kingdom to show off their skills..."
Emperor Chu curled his lips and said: "There is no need to beat around the bush, you and I both understand that the royal family's autumn hunts over the years are all about selecting the ideal husband for the princess and the princess."
Pan Qing said: "That's why I came here."
Emperor Chu seemed to have guessed Pan Qing's intention, so he frowned and asked, "What? Your Tianshui Sect doesn't want to participate in the Autumn Hunting?"
"I remember that Tianshui Sect has not participated in the autumn hunt for ten thousand years since it fell into decline. Now that Tianshui Sect has finally shown some signs of making a comeback, are you going to give up this opportunity?"
Pan Qing smiled bitterly and said: "No, no, no, the Tianshui Sect is naturally willing to participate in this royal autumn hunt, but there is one person who does not want to participate."
Emperor Chu frowned slightly, already guessing who it was, and said, "Why doesn't Lin Bai want to participate?"
