Chapter 30: What? Are You Saying Marrying a Princess is Beneath You?:
"So... this was the real reason you saved me?" Ling Ye exhaled deeply, finally understanding everything. He had met her at a critical moment, and she just happened to need him! So... she gambled everything on him!
"Yes!" Ye Lin nodded, not denying it.
If it weren’t for this reason, she certainly wouldn’t have entrusted herself so easily to a man she didn’t even know. Although, in reality, she had known Ling Ye for quite some time...
"Sigh! I thought you had fallen in love with me at first sight!" Ling Ye shook his head with a smile.
Ye Lin immediately glared at him fiercely!
Love at first sight?
If she had known he was the scoundrel who stole her first kiss more than ten years ago, she wouldn’t have saved him!
"So... what's your plan?" Ling Ye asked confidently, "I’m indeed a bit stronger than someone like Luo Xinli, but how exactly can I help you?"
"I... want you to become the leader of the martial world!" Ye Lin said seriously. After saying this, she lowered her head, her face turning red, as she added, "And then... marry me!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Ye burst into laughter. "Ha! You really are playing a brilliant game!"
She saved him, gave herself to him, and now she wants him to marry her! She wants him to marry her as the leader of the martial world!
That way, he was hers, and the entire martial world would be his. In other words, the entire martial world belonged to her!
Clever! And to top it off, she took the initiative to sleep with him, and now she wants him to take responsibility?
Although all of this seemed like a coincidence, it felt more like a calculated plan...
"So, how do you plan to make me the leader of the martial world?" Ling Ye asked with a smile, "I don’t have much of a reputation in the martial world!"
What he sought was a carefree life, not fame and glory!
"But you do!" Ye Lin glared at him and said, "Years ago, the leaders of the Eight Great Sects all met you! If you decide to become the leader of the martial world, they will absolutely support you! And with your abilities, gaining fame would be a piece of cake!"
"But the martial world is more than just the Eight Great Sects!" Ling Ye shook his head.
"That’s why we need to form alliances and expand your influence!" Ye Lin said seriously, "From now on, this sword is yours, and with your strength, gaining fame in the martial world will be easy!"
First, Ling Ye indeed had the strength. Second, this sword already had an indelible reputation in the martial world. Because in everyone's eyes, the assassin from three years ago was the great hero of the entire martial world! So, with this sword and Ling Ye's strength, he could definitely make a name for himself in a short period. Then, once his reputation reached a certain level, he could be elected as the leader of the martial world! Everything would fall into place easily!
"My strength, this sword, and with you as my wise and capable support behind the scenes..." Ling Ye reached out his hands to take the black staff, smiling faintly, "It does sound pretty simple!"
"It is simple, as long as you’re willing to help me!" Ye Lin said seriously. Her plan was just that: find a true expert, give him this sword, and then fully support him from behind, helping him grow stronger and stronger!
Eventually, he would dominate the martial world! She would personally... cultivate a leader of the martial world!
And now, she had found the perfect candidate.
Ling Ye was undoubtedly more suitable than anyone else she knew!
If Ling Ye was willing, this task could have been easily accomplished!
Within a few years, he could absolutely become the leader of the martial world!
"So... your two foolish brothers have already started taking action too?" Ling Ye asked.
Ye Lin frowned slightly, "They’re still princes of the Ye Xuan Dynasty, can’t you say something nicer?"
Foolish brothers?
To her, those two brothers weren’t exactly brilliant, but they weren’t so dimwitted that others could speak of them that way!
After all, they were princes.
If word got out, wouldn’t Ling Ye be in trouble?
"Do you think... they’ll use the same methods as you?" Ling Ye continued.
"It’s very likely!" Ye Lin said calmly, "But... they will never find an expert like you!"
She had a fair understanding of her two brothers. They did have some friends in the martial world and knew a few so-called experts!
But those so-called experts were nothing compared to Ling Ye.
Ling Ye was the pinnacle of this martial world!
Even if there were others like Ling Ye, they would be exceedingly rare!
"Alright then!" Ling Ye nodded, "Although I’m not too eager to marry you... I guess I owe you for saving my life!"
As soon as he said this, Ye Lin furrowed her eyebrows and glared at him fiercely!
"What? Are you saying marrying a princess is beneath you? You took my first kiss, and then you took my first night! And you’re thinking of not taking responsibility?"
Ye Lin really wanted to point at Ling Ye's nose and curse him out! She even wanted to give him a good beating! But in the end, she held back.
"If you don’t want to marry me, that’s fine! Just as long as you still follow my orders after you become the leader of the martial world!" Ye Lin said, half-angry and half-reluctant, "If you don’t want to marry, this princess doesn’t want to get married either!"
