Chapter 1139 Sudden Notification
The Lu Astral Emperor couldn’t help giving a sigh when he saw this.
He had never thought that Lin Fan would be such a vengeful person…it was a good thing that he had already resolved to befriend him. Otherwise, he might be the one at the short end of the stick.
After the traitors were taken away, the Lu Astral Emperor gave a slight bow to Lin Fan and said, “Young master Lin, thank you for everything that you’ve done for our Lu Astral Emperor. If there is anything that we can do for you, please don’t hesitate to tell me.”
When the ministers and generals saw this, they all couldn’t help revealing shocked looks.
After all, this slight bow from the Lu Astral Emperor was very significant.
An Astral Emperor showing this kind of respect to someone who was only a crown prince of another Astral Empire…if this kind of news was spread, it would cause a large commotion.
But no one was dumb enough to do something like this.
So all of the ministers and generals quickly looked away and pretended like they didn’t see anything.
Lin Fan just calmly said with a wave of his hand, “There’s no need for that.”
The Lu Astral Emperor looked up at Lin Fan with a surprised look before revealing a look of admiration.
It could be said that what Lin Fan had done was equal to saving their entire Lu Astral Empire. After all, if these traitors hadn’t been exposed, who knows what kind of damage they would have caused for their Lu Astral Empire.
But even before any of that…if it wasn’t for Lin Fan taking care of the Beast Race and the Outers, they might have already been overrun by them.
So Lin Fan could even be considered the great saviour of their Lu Astral Empire.
Yet he was being so humble and didn’t lord this over them.
This was clearly someone that was worth befriending.
The Lu Astral Emperor gave a nod before saying, “Fei Yu, go and show young master Lin to his residence. Be sure to properly take care of our guests.”
When Lu Fei Yu heard this, she could see the special look that was in the Lu Astral Emperor’s eyes. Seeing this special look, she couldn’t stop a blush from appearing on her face.
However, she still said with a nod, “Yes, royal father. I’ll be sure to properly take care of our guests.”
As she said this, she could also see that many of the ministers and generals were looking at her with special gazes. They all knew what the Lu Astral Emperor had planned for Lu Fei Yu, so they all hoped that she would be able to pull this off.
But it was just too bad that Lin Fan had no intentions of going along with them.
Lin Fan gave a cough before saying, “I’m sorry, but I have no intentions of staying any longer.”
When they heard this, they all couldn’t help looking at Lin Fan with looks of shock and disbelief.
After all, Lin Fan had just returned from a battle. Normally, this would be the time that they would be able to get closer to him as he rested before returning to the battle.
Was he really that keen on going back into battle?
The Lu Astral Emperor knitted his brows before saying, “Young master Lin, is there really a need to be in that much of a rush. There’s nothing to gain from rushing back onto the battlefield like this. You should rest up a bit before heading back.”
But Lin Fan just calmly shook his head and said, “I’m not heading back to the battlefield.”
Everyone couldn’t help feeling confused when they heard this.
The Lu Astral Emperor was also confused, but he slowly said, “Then is there somewhere else you need to be?”
Lin Fan gave a nod before saying, “Since the matters in your Lu Astral Empire have been taken care of, I will be heading back to the Lin Astral Empire.”
“Huh?” All of the ministers and generals said this immediately after hearing this.
Even the Lu Astral Emperor wasn’t an exception.
They never thought that Lin Fan would leave so soon.
They thought that he would at least stay a bit longer and help them stabilize the Lu Astral Empire after everything that he had done, but now it seemed that Lin Fan didn’t think the same as them.
Without a single care, he was already heading back to the Lin Astral Empire.
The ministers and generals of the Lu Astral Empire started to panic when they heard this.
Lin Fan was the only hope that they had of defeating the Beast Race and the Outers, so if he were to leave now, they would just fall into the same bad position as before.
So they all turned to look at the Lu Astral Emperor for help.
Even without the ministers and generals asking this of him, the Lu Astral Emperor would have spoken up. He also knew what the situation of the Lu Astral Empire was and he knew that they still needed Lin Fan’s help.𝒩𝓞𝑣𝑙xt.𝑐𝒐𝑀
So the Lu Astral Emperor said, “Young master Lin, is it possible for you to stay a bit longer. You should know the situation of our Lu Astral Empire and we really need your help.”
Lin Fan looked at the Lu Astral Emperor with a calm look before saying, “The situation in the Lu Astral Empire has already been stabilized. Your majesty should also know what the situation of the Lin Astral Empire is, so I need to return to help.”
The Lu Astral Emperor wanted to say something, but he found that he couldn’t say anything in response to this since everything that Lin Fan said was logical.
In fact, they were the ones being unreasonable by asking him to stay longer when he clearly had his duty to the Lin Astral Empire to perform.
So even though he was being glared at by the ministers and generals, the Lu Astral Emperor had no choice but to say, “I wish you luck on your mission.”
Lin Fan cupped his hands and gave a nod before leaving the room without any hesitation.
The ministers and generals wanted to say something, but they knew that there was nothing to say. If even the Lu Astral Emperor who was their final hope couldn’t do anything, then there was nothing for them to say.
After he left the room, Lin Fan wasted no time in heading to the ship and getting the crew to set off to the Lin Astral Empire.
Though the way that he left…it seemed like he really was in a rush.
It was much faster than he had ever gone during his time in the Lu Astral Empire.
It seemed that there really was something important that he needed to get to.
On a balcony in the Lu Astral Empire’s palace.
The Lu Astral Emperor was alone with Lu Fei Yu.
The two of them watched the ship departing from the planet in silence, both with complicated looks on their faces.
Finally, the Lu Astral Emperor broke the silence by saying, “It’s too bad that you were unable to get closer to young master Lin.”
Lu Fei Yu gave a sigh before saying, “He’s not someone that would be interested in me in the first place. He’s someone that has his sights set on something much further than anything that I could reach. I could see that when I was with him.”
The Lu Astral Emperor couldn’t help looking at Lu Fei Yu with a strange look when he heard this, but he gave a nod in response in the end.
He didn’t know what Lu Fei Yu had encountered, but he could also tell that Lin Fan was anything but normal.
In the end, he said with a sigh, “It’s too bad that you weren’t able to get closer to him while he was in our Lu Astral Empire.” Then after a pause he added, “But I’m thinking about sending a group to help our allies in the Lin Astral Empire.”
Lu Fei Yu couldn’t help trembling when she heard this and she looked at the Lu Astral Emperor with eyes that had a trace of hope in them.
The Lu Astral Emperor revealed a smile when he saw this and he said, “Yes, you will be the leader of this group.”
Lu Fei Yu immediately revealed an excited look before cupping her hands and saying, “Royal father, Fei Yu will not let you down.”
The Lu Astral Emperor gave a nod and said, “I know you won’t.”
…
After the ship had set off, Lin Fan just gave the crew the order to return to the Lin Astral Empire as soon as possible.
The crew didn’t understand why Lin Fan was in such a rush to return, but they just obeyed his orders and pushed the ship as quickly as possible. Anyone that tried to ambush it was just outrun by the ship since this ship was much faster than any flying demon beasts that the Beast Race had.
There was one time where an Outer Expert tried to chase them, but they just blasted that Outer Expert away with the missiles.
After they departed, Lin Fan locked himself in a room all by himself.
He didn’t even bring Angela and the others in with him since there was something he wanted to see alone.
There was a new notification from the system that had popped up while he had been in the Lu Astral Empire’s royal palace.
