PFC Chapter 105
Chapter 105
After Long Yan came out of the aquarium, the human race personnel who had been waiting outside followed him out. They quickly chased after Qin Jinghuai and his group and soon met them.
When Qin Jinghuai and Lu Siqi saw their returning companions, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, if the Sea Tribe really united with the Orcs to fight against foreign invaders, it would be a huge crisis for them. Now, this worry can finally be put aside for the time being.
After thinking for a while, Lu Siqi said, "Third Prince, we must pass this important information back as soon as possible. Only in this way can we better deal with possible situations." He knew that time was running out and any delay could cause the situation to worsen.
Qin Jinghuai showed a worried expression. He knew very well that his father was wary of him, and he didn't know how much his father would believe the news if it was passed back. He sighed in his heart.
After thinking for a while, Qin Jinghuai said, "Siqi, please send a copy of this information to Prime Minister Lu as quickly as possible."
Lu Siqi thought of the Emperor's fear of Qin Jinghuai and his disbelief in his message. He nodded and said, "Your Highness, I will pass a copy to my father truthfully. Your Highness, why don't you also have the eldest and third princesses pass a copy back, so His Majesty will take it seriously."
After hearing this, Qin Jinghuai nodded and said, "Okay."
After that, the two stopped talking and returned to their residence. Qin Jinghuai told Qin Jingyi the information Qin Yasi and the others had learned in the aquarium, and asked Qin Yasi and Qin Yaling to pass the message back together.
He also sent a message back himself.
Elsewhere, after leaving the aquarium where the sea tribe resided, Long Yan went to the palace to report his information to the Dragon Emperor. He walked hurriedly, his expression solemn, filled with worry about the future situation. When he arrived at the Dragon Emperor's hall, he was sitting at his desk, reading news from the various orc tribes.
"Father, I'm back." Long Yan saluted respectfully.
The Dragon Emperor nodded slightly, motioning him to stand up and speak.
Long Yan took a deep breath and began to report the news he had received at the aquarium: "Father, a strange phenomenon has appeared in the sky above the Imperial City. It is the scene that appeared after the death of the High Priest of the Sea Clan. According to the First Prince of the Sea Clan, the High Priest used his life to predict the future in order to find a way to defeat the foreign invaders."
The Dragon Emperor frowned and asked seriously, "Has the High Priest of the Sea Clan found a way to break this barrier?"
Long Yan frowned, recalling Hai Lanyue's hesitant expression. He slowly spoke, "Father, the Sea Tribe's eldest prince didn't explicitly state whether he had found a solution. Qin Jinghuai, Lu Sixi, and others from the Human Tribe were also present. Hai Lanyue cleverly changed the subject, suggesting that the Sea Tribe might have encountered foreign invaders. She then produced a recording stone and played a shocking scene—foreign invaders brutally slaughtering the Sea Tribe, Orcs, and Humans."
However, the human Qin Yaling was also present, triggering a series of unexpected events. Long Yan continued, "Qin Yaling's presence led to the revelation that she had been captured by invaders. So, I took advantage of the situation and told them we'd uncovered information that these invaders had descended upon Earth millennia ago, unleashing bloody massacres and plunder."
When Long Yan mentioned Qin Yaling, the Dragon Emperor remembered who she was. It was because of this woman that they had learned about the Rabbit Village outside the Imperial City and thus discovered the foreign invaders. He was unsure how to raise the issue of foreign invaders with the Human and Sea Tribes, so he took this opportunity to speak up.
The Dragon Emperor nodded gently in approval and said, "Well, Yan'er, you did a great job. Father already knows about this matter. So, when will the sea tribe leave? You can go and see them off on Father's behalf."
"Yes, Father," Long Yan replied respectfully. Then, remembering Hai Lanyue's request to withdraw from the academy's martial arts competition, he reported to the Dragon Emperor, "Father, the Sea Tribe's eldest prince, Hai Lanyue, has requested to withdraw from the academy's martial arts competition."
"Yes, Father is aware of this. The Sea Tribe's Sea Emperor has already sent someone to deliver the Sea Tribe's Earth Rock Fruit and mentioned that the Sea Tribe might withdraw midway through this martial arts competition. It seems the Sea Tribe has already prepared for the High Priest's passing." The Dragon Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "However, the Academy Martial Arts Competition is a platform for all races to exchange and learn from each other, and the results of the competition are crucial for allocating the medicinal materials for refining the Broken Mirror Pill. We still need to discuss this matter with the Human Tribe's Human Emperor before deciding whether to continue the competition."
Long Yan thought for a moment and said, "Father, tomorrow is the final individual competition, and the rankings will be announced. We'll have three days to rest, and the team competition will be over in one day, so the rankings will be announced soon. I want to discuss this with the Sea Tribe's eldest prince, and have them leave after the competition is over."
The Dragon Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Well, that's feasible. Go ahead."
"Yes, Father," the Dragon Emperor replied, turning and leaving the palace.
Long Yan returned to the aquarium, and this time, he found the Sea Tribe members already preparing to leave. His gaze swept over the Sea Tribe members participating in the competition, and a complex wave of emotions welled up within him. The faces of these young Sea Tribe members all displayed an indescribable sadness, their eyes tinged with regret, but without the slightest hint of resentment.
At this moment, Hai Lanyue noticed Long Yan's arrival. He walked over and said to Long Yan calmly: "Your Highness Prince Long, I was planning to send someone to bid farewell to the Orcs. Since you are here, there is no need to trouble you. Please issue us a pass." After that, he handed the prepared certificate to Long Yan.
Long Yan stared at Hai Lanyue quietly. He just wanted to try to persuade her, then he said seriously, "Crown Prince, have you ever considered letting the participating students stay here? After the academy martial arts competition is over, then take them away together. After all, they came here with the belief that they would win, and now they have to go back with regret. It's really a pity! Besides, your high priest would not want to see such an ending, right?"
"Thank you, Your Highness, Crown Prince Long." Hai Lanyue shook her head and said, "Actually, when we came to participate in the competition, we were already prepared to withdraw. We have already discussed this matter."
She knew that this competition was very important to them, but the safety of their family was the top priority. Although giving up the competition made them feel regretful and lost, they were willing to give everything to protect their family.
The students from the Sea Clan who came to participate in the competition nodded in agreement with Hai Lanyue's decision. They understood what this choice meant, but they all stood on the side of their family without hesitation.
"Thank you, His Royal Highness Prince Long. We have decided to leave. Although we feel a little regretful that we cannot continue to participate in the competition, family is more important." They said in unison, their voices uniform and full of firmness and determination.
Everyone is fully aware of the importance of family, and they are willing to put aside personal honor and interests to protect their families. This spirit of unity and solidarity is deeply moving.
At this moment, they are no longer just a group of contestants, but flesh-and-blood individuals, with deep kinship ties. Their courage and commitment are admirable, and they also demonstrate the unity and tenacity of the sea people.
Although they are unable to continue participating in the competition, their figures will always be engraved in people's hearts and become an inspiration and role model.
Long Yan's eyes showed an understanding expression, thinking of the foreign invaders who might be everywhere and the killings that could occur at any time.
He took the document in front of him, took out the prince's seal representing his identity, stamped it, and handed it to Hai Lanyue.
Long Yan said calmly, "Okay, I'll take you out of the city."
Hai Lanyue replied, "Thank you, Your Highness, Crown Prince Long."
Hai Lanyue waved and signaled for departure, inviting Long Yan to join him in the car. He said softly, "Your Highness, Crown Prince Long, I have something to tell you."
Long Yan boarded the carriage with Hai Lanyue. Not far away, Lin Ziyu, curious about what had happened to the Sea Clan and why Long Yan had been gone for so long, came out to see what had happened. He saw Long Yan and Hai Lanyue, the eldest prince of the Sea Clan, board the carriage together. He looked puzzled, wondering where Long Yan and the Sea Clan were going.
"Your man has gone with the others." The furry ball scratched at Lin Ziyu's clothes with its claws, saying with some dissatisfaction. This was because Lin Ziyu did not let it sleep, but took it out for a stroll.
