Chapter 280: Return and the plans of the Emperor
Moreover, at the same time, Tang Yin sent messages to several powerful families of those empires seeking to take control of the empire, while the heads of the imperial family fell in the courtyards of their homes.
Tang Yin, simply for the sake of joking, decided to leave the same name he used when destroying the Huang family.
Therefore, this empire was destined to go into chaos thanks to a certain Silver Assassin.
Still, it was not over.
He traveled at full speed to his next destination, where the next remaining imperial family was destroyed in one night, causing another empire to descend into chaos.
And likewise, a third empire began to fall into chaos a day later.
...
Because it took a day for Tang Yin to travel from one empire to another, on the third day, when the last family was banished from this world, news began to spread like wildfire to the armies of the three empires battling on the front lines.
Not only had they lost their great generals in one night, but now, the imperial families had been killed, bringing internal battles.
This was enough to disconcert the troops who lost their chain of command and could only start running back to their respective empires while being pursued by a dying and worn-out empire that could not understand what was going on.
So, by the fourth day, somehow or other, the Su Empire was celebrating in their bewilderment.
They couldn't understand why on earth those armies retreated, but some who knew the plan were suspecting that everything had gone well.
And that very night, Tang Yin returned to the Su Empire.
When everyone saw Tang Yin's spirit ship arrive, they went out to greet him with rejoicing, especially the Su Family.
"Thank you so much, Young Master!" they all shouted in unison as they stood before Tang Yin with tears in their eyes. There were also the members of the neighboring Empire, who, indirectly, were saved by Tang Yin.
Tang Yin simply smiled and lifted Su Lian, who had also bowed to him to thank him.
Then Tang Yin stroked her head a little as he shook his head.
"You don't need to bow, I did it so Lian wouldn't be sad, I couldn't stand to see her pretty face crying." Tang Yin said jokingly, which made all of them laugh a little and nod.
Still, Su Lian lowered her head in embarrassment upon hearing this, but it felt quite good in her heart.
"Young Master, please go ahead. We prepared a place for you where you can sleep and be quiet for tonight. Also, there are some things we would like to discuss with you, but for tonight we would like you to rest and have a good sleep." Emperor Su said smiling, and Tang Yin nodded to him.
Then, the whole group entered the imperial castle.
The rooms that were to be occupied by each of them were arranged, and Tang Yin began to be waited on by Su Lian.
Tang Yin smiled at this.
'Tsk, this emperor likes things to be done quickly.' Tang Yin thought. He noticed that Huang Feifei and the other girls were put in rooms far away while Su Lian was given the room next door.
In addition, for some reason, many flowers were delivered to this room and showered around the room, and the imperial princess was exclusively asked to attend to the guest Tang Yin during these days.
The emperor's intentions being obvious, Tang Yin stared at Su Lian's beautiful little face.
From her tender and calm gaze, Su Lian clearly did not understand what her father was up to.
She simply did as she was told, with a smile of happiness that she could not hide from her beautiful yet tender face.
Certainly, her face was not as perfect as Huang Feifei's or Bai Lixue's, but...
She had a unique aura that set her apart and gave her a perfect touch of beauty.
That tender and innocent aura that every man likes to see in a woman.
Su Lian finished cutting the fruits her father had told her to cut and started walking to give them to Tang Yin, sitting on the sofa beside him as she placed them on the table.
"Tang Yin, these fruits are unique to the northwest and especially to the regions of our empire.
You must try it." She said with a smile as she grabbed one and ate it, then went to pass a piece to Tang Yin, but noticed Tang Yin was looking at her and turned her head doubtfully, "Tang Yin?" she asked tenderly, as she tilted her head to the side, unable to understand why Tang Yin was looking at her like that.
Tang Yin smiled shaking his head shortly after.
"It's all right. Let's see, which fruit do you say?" Tang Yin asked, and she then smiled without giving the matter any more importance.
"This one, here." She said and passed it to Tang Yin, making him quickly eat it from her hand and then nod.
"It's quite a bit richer than the one I tasted in the capital." He said with a smile, and Su Lian, though her mouth was hanging open at what Tang Yin had done, still quickly nodded.
"Right?" She said smiling, and then grabbed another one to give him.
"Right... Where are the big sisters Lixue and Feifei? I haven't been able to talk to them much..." He said hesitantly.
"Xian isn't around either... Strange, she always stays close to me, but I haven't seen her since we entered the palace." She said doubtfully, making Tang Yin laugh a little internally.
She didn't notice this, so she got up, "Wait, Tang Yin. I'm going to look for them so you won't feel lonely in this place." She said and was about to start walking, but soon, she felt Tang Yin grab her hand and stop her from leaving, causing her to turn around hesitantly.
"Is something wrong Tang Yin? Do you want me to get you something?" she asked hesitantly, and Tang Yin shook his head but pulled her lightly towards the furniture again making her sit back down and look at him hesitantly.
Tang Yin then moved his hand and brought it to her cheek lightly to make her stare at him.
"Girl, don't you understand what your father did?" Tang Yin asked with a smile, making Su Lian feel stunned.
Her face blushed, but not because she understood. But because Tang Yin was touching her face.
Her heartbeat also quickened at that moment, so she turned her head quickly, and shook her head at Tang Yin's question.
"What do you mean, Tang Yin? Did my father do something that upset you?" she asked hesitantly, and when she thought of this possibility, she felt some fear in her heart.
Tang Yin noticed this and laughed a little out loud, then stroked her head again.
"You really are too innocent, Lian. Your father sent Feifei and Lixue away along with the rest of the girls, while he put you and me, in rooms together, while he asked you to serve me. Also, he sent some alcohol and many flowers that were showered in the room... With all that, what do you think your father is doing?" Tang Yin asked as he looked at her, and Su Lian hesitated.
'Does it mean something?' She thought tenderly, and unconsciously moved her head to the side unable to understand.
But it was only for a few seconds.
Soon, she noticed what was happening, and her face turned as red as a tomato while her heart started beating fast, as if it wanted to jump out of her body, and nervousness started to show on her face.
