He looked at Lin Cheng, who was standing not far away and greeting him with a gentle tone.
At this moment, Lin Jingxue could no longer remain calm.
Before this, Lin Jingxue had imagined many scenes of reuniting with her brother.
When Lin Jingxue was young, she had always thought that Lin Cheng, who loved reading and was knowledgeable, was the perfect elder brother.
In the face of a rebel who had taken away the empire passed down from his ancestors and everything he had, Lin Cheng might put down his elegance and easy-going attitude, which was rare, and curse at him without caring about his manners.
Then, he would launch a final attack on him, just like how he had always looked forward to his royal brother. He would end his life in an unyielding manner.
If that was the case, Lin Jingxue would feel regret for her brother's unwillingness to yield, but she would also feel proud of her brother's character.
Of course, it was also possible that Lin Cheng wouldn't directly curse him after they met.
Instead, he chose to be flexible.
Lin Cheng, who did not want to lose his life, would hypocritically talk about the two of them growing up together and their close relationship as childhood sweethearts.
He would try his best to please him and take the initiative to abdicate the throne so that he could spare his life and not kill him.
If it was this choice, Lin Jingxue would be disappointed that her brother had lost his character, but she could still accept it.
It was not a bad result to be able to make the brother he once looked forward to be a witness to his great achievements.
It was also possible that neither of the first two outcomes would happen.
Lin Cheng, who had lost everything, would become dejected and indifferent to everything, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.
Or perhaps, Lin Cheng had already chosen to commit suicide before this. He was not even willing to see him for the last time. After he broke through the Imperial City, the only thing he would see was his brother's corpse.
All in all, these scenes unfolded with Lin Jingxue as the victor.
However, Lin Jingxue did not expect things to turn out differently.
"Yes, Royal Brother, long time no see.”
"The last time we met was when you took over the throne. It has been a year and eight months, but you still surprise me as always.”
"Unknowingly, my martial arts have reached such an unfathomable realm.”
After looking at each other for a moment, Lin Jingxue finally broke the silence.
Looking at this royal brother who was both familiar and unfamiliar, her tone became extremely complicated at this moment. It was as if a bottle of wine had been knocked over in the depths of her heart, and all kinds of strange feelings surged up.
At this moment, even Lin Jingxue herself couldn't tell what she was thinking.
To Lin Jingxue, Lin Cheng was both familiar and unfamiliar.
What was familiar was his royal brother's appearance and his bookworm personality that didn't care about anything other than reading books, but what was unfamiliar was his heart that he had never deeply understood.
Before today, Lin Jingxue would never have thought that her mediocre brother, whom she regarded as a bookworm who did not even know how to handle government affairs, would have such terrifying martial arts.
Now that he thought about it, this royal brother was not mediocre. He just put his energy on the things he cared about.
Otherwise, how could he possess such profound martial arts at such a young age?
Although her master Ji Qinrui said that Lin Cheng had overdrawn his potential or lifespan to have such profound martial arts at his age, that was only if he had enough potential and lifespan to overdraw.
No matter what, when this royal brother defeated all the heroes single-handedly and appeared in front of him through the army, no one in the world had the right to look down on him.
Lin Jingxue had mixed feelings, and so did Lin Cheng.
"The Divine Martial Imperial Family is declining day by day. I had long expected that the country's fate would come to an end and that rebel soldiers would attack the capital's imperial city. But I never thought that the one standing in front of me in the end would be you.”
Looking at the beautiful woman who was surrounded and protected by many experts standing not far away, Lin Cheng said with a sigh.
Who would have thought that the little girl who had followed him around all day like a stalker would achieve such great achievements after she grew up?
A year ago, this Princess of Hengyang, who was ordinary in everyone's eyes, apart from her beauty, had suddenly stopped holding back and displayed extremely shocking strength and power.
After imprisoning her father and brother and taking control of the army, she raised an army. In a short period of time, her army had swept through more than half of the Divine Great Land. Now, they had even reached the imperial city of Jingdou. She was about to become the first empress since the creation of the world.
Now that she thought about it, her previous ordinariness was just her deliberate disguise.
If not for the fact that at the most critical moment when the city was about to fall, he had completed the peerless martial art,"All Rivers Run Into the Sea," that he had spent all his effort in the first half of his life to forge.
Thinking about it, Lin Cheng reckoned that he wouldn't be standing in the Stellar Tower at this moment. Instead, he would be sitting alone in the royal study, pouring himself a cup of poisoned wine and leaving this world of infinite excitement and unknown.
Hearing Lin Cheng's sigh, the complicated feelings in Lin Jingxue's heart disappeared and her mood suddenly became high.
Joy filled Lin Jingxue's heart.
There was nothing better than obtaining the recognition of the person he longed for.
"Royal brother, surrender. As long as you abdicate to me, I will guarantee you a lifetime of glory and wealth. In any case, you don't like to handle government affairs. Xue 'er can do it for you, and you can focus on martial arts.”
"Don't even think about resisting. Even though your martial arts have already reached the level of a martial arts legend, the power around me is not weaker than yours.”
"You don't want us to fight and end up with both sides injured. Let outsiders outside of our imperial clan and Lin family benefit.”
In the end, Lin Jingxue calmed down and voiced her thoughts.
After all, she was no longer the little girl who only followed behind Lin Cheng and had no opinion of her own.
Lin Jingxue knew that everything in this world was fake. Only the power and influence in one's hands were real.
Never put everything you have on the mercy of others.
This was the most realistic experience that Lin Jingxue had experienced along the way. If she had not been prepared, she would have been sent by her father and brother to marry a stranger.
Although Lin Cheng's approval made Lin Jingxue happy, she did not give up on her initial plan.
She wanted to become the first Empress in the history of the Divine Great Land.
At that time, all her dreams and ambitions would have a chance to be realized. And this Imperial Brother she had been longing for would be the last obstacle in front of her.
Although she did not want to be enemies with Lin Cheng, Lin Jingxue finally became rational.
