Capítulo 1812: Chapter 271: Stratagem of Delayed Action

“We were invited by your father to be guests here,” Lei Ming replied helplessly.

He emphasized the word “invited,” as if there was more hidden between the lines, though it was uncertain if the Seventh Princess of the Great You Country understood.

The Seventh Princess of the Great You Country, being simple-minded, did not think too much and innocently asked, “Guests? Why did my father invite you here as guests?”

“You’ll have to ask your father about that,” Lei Ming replied.

The Second Prince of Great You Country kept silent.

He kept silent because he already knew what his father intended to do.

In fact, he somewhat despised his father’s actions, but since his father had decided, he had no right to interfere, leaving Lin Yifan and Lei Ming to fend for themselves.

The Seventh Princess of the Great You Country was unaware of her father’s plans; her interest was instead piqued by Lin Yifan, as she curiously asked, “Hey! Are you the new dark horse?”

Lin Yifan had been trying to keep a low profile, but it seemed impossible now, so he replied, “If the Princess says so, then it is so.”

“I heard your swordsmanship is exceptional, even my Second Brother is not your match, is that true?” asked the Seventh Princess of the Great You Country.

“This… of course, it’s false.” Lin Yifan replied modestly.

“False? I knew it, if it weren’t for you two teaming up to attack, how would my Second Brother lose? But having said that, aren’t you two shameless? Such actions are unworthy of true gentlemen.”

The Seventh Princess of the Great You Country couldn’t help but scold, looking angry and discontent.

“Uh… indeed, it’s a bit so.”

Lin Yifan was terribly embarrassed; since he didn’t want to argue anymore, he just wouldn’t.

“Since you’ve admitted it’s not the behavior of a gentleman, why don’t you have another match against my Second Brother? After all, my Second Brother feels very unconvinced,” the Seventh Princess of the Great You Country suggested.

“Seventh Sister, I never said that!” The Second Prince of the Great You Country hurriedly explained, not wanting to seem more defeated.

“Second Brother, I know you mean well, but your swordsmanship is exceptional, no need to give face to these petty men,” retorted the Seventh Princess of the Great You Country.

Lin Yifan looked helplessly towards the Second Prince of the Great You Country, hoping he would think of a clever way to defuse this embarrassment, otherwise, it would be the Second Prince who lost face, not him.

The Second Prince of the Great You Country naturally understood the meaning in Lin Yifan’s expression and changed the topic, “Seventh Sister, it’s getting late, go wash up and sleep.”

“No, you must have a match with him, to clear your swordsmanship name.” The Princess of the Great You Country crossed her arms, stubbornly.

“There will be time to match in the future, for now, Second Brother is tired, you’ve traveled all day and are tired, go back to wash up and sleep early; besides, Master Lin is a guest invited by Father, we must respect him,” persuaded the Second Prince of the Great You Country.

“Second Brother, why aren’t you worried about your swordsmanship reputation? Weren’t you always very concerned about it before?” questioned the Seventh Princess of the Great You Country, puzzled.

“What use is worrying, when he already took the championship, we’ll compete again next time.”

The Second Prince of the Great You Country no longer paid attention to the Seventh Sister and turned to leave.

Seeing this, the Seventh Princess of the Great You Country felt very helpless.

However, since Second Brother didn’t want to fight, she had no choice.

Finally, when passing by Lin Yifan, she glared at him fiercely, before letting out a cold “hmph” and leaving.

Looking at her haughty yet full of resentment demeanor, Lei Ming glanced at Lin Yifan, sensing that he was in big trouble.

Lin Yifan shrugged, expressing his utter helplessness.

Speaking of which, Lei Ming was puzzled by one thing, so he asked, “Brother Lin, why did you lie?”

Just now, Lin Yifan could have completely disregarded the Second Prince of the Great You Country’s face, so why was he being humble, again and again? Was it because they were now trapped here?

“Fame and fortune, I don’t care about those things. What I care about is how long we can enjoy these guest-like treatments,” Lin Yifan replied.

Mentioning this matter, Lei Ming suddenly recalled Brother Lin’s actions tonight.

Tonight, Brother Lin said he was out wandering, but in reality, he was surveying the layout of the Imperial Palace, familiarizing himself with the routes and the situation of the heavy guards.

He believed Brother Lin was contemplating how to escape, as Brother Lin was unwilling to be manipulated or slaughtered, which reassured him.

“Brother Lin, how long do you think we can enjoy this?” Lei Ming asked curiously.

“Give me time to think, give me time to think.”

Lin Yifan was currently troubled, surrounded everywhere by high-realm guards, even his sleeping quarters were not excepted, making it extremely difficult to leave using the Earth Escape Technique.

Most importantly, he was not in the same room as Lei Ming, so if he managed to escape luckily, Lei Ming would likely suffer. This was the clever tactic by those old foxes, holding a hostage to gain leverage.

Lei Ming knew Brother Lin was currently very anxious, very troubled, so he didn’t put any pressure on Brother Lin anymore.

He believed Brother Lin could definitely come up with a solution, and they could definitely leave this deep palace.

…

After finishing their stroll, the two went back to sleep.

Early the next morning, all the important figures gathered in Lin Yifan’s room, forcing Lin Yifan to hand over the Sword Technique Mental Method.

Lin Yifan was helpless, unable to even have a lazy sleep.

Sitting at the desk, he was lost in thought, unsure if he should pick up the pen and write.

“Boy, stop thinking so much, if you want to live, this is the simplest and quickest path, hurry up and write,” the surrounding big figures urged.

Lin Yifan claimed that the Sword Technique Mental Method was in his mind, but they didn’t believe him, so they wanted Lin Yifan to write it down. If he couldn’t write an advanced sword technique, their patience would wear out.

And the reason for pointing out this path to Lin Yifan was that, according to the guard reports from last night, those who were following Lin Yifan and those secretly watching his every move, reported that Lin Yifan was unwilling to hand over the Sword Technique Mental Method to them and was always contemplating how to escape this deep palace.

Lin Yifan thought that without giving these old foxes any taste of benefit, their patience would be severely worn down, so after thinking it over, he picked up the pen to begin writing.

Seeing Lin Yifan pick up the pen, the surrounding big figures showed expressions of joy.

No one wanted to die, not even the prideful Lin Yifan was an exception, so they weren’t afraid he wouldn’t hand over the Sword Technique Mental Method.

After writing for a long time, Lin Yifan pretended to wrack his brain, finally producing a page of the Sword Technique Mental Method.

He handed over this page to the group of old foxes, holding his forehead, and painfully said, “Oh, I can’t anymore, this is all I could come up with today; if you find it useful, just take it.”

The group of big figures didn’t care if Lin Yifan had written a complete method; what they cared about was whether the sword technique Lin Yifan wrote was brilliant, thus they immediately grabbed the paper from Lin Yifan’s hand to examine it carefully.
