Chapter 277 Asking the Emperor for Help

"Lin Feng!" Chen Xiner shouted loudly, her voice trembling. Her eyes were fixed on Lin Feng, as if at this moment, they were the only two people in the world.

Lin Feng's face showed surprise. He had never expected to see Chen Xin'er here. A warm current surged in his heart, as if at that moment, all his fatigue and worries disappeared.

Chen Xiner walked quickly towards Lin Feng, her steps light and anxious, as if she was afraid that Lin Feng would disappear again. Her eyes were gleaming with tears, and those tears contained endless longing and worry.

Before Lin Feng could react, Chen Xiner came forward and hugged him. She hugged Lin Feng tightly, as if she wanted to melt him into her body. She cried and said, "I thought I would never see you again in this life."

Lin Feng was a little overwhelmed by Chen Xiner's behavior, but he quickly came to his senses. He gently patted Chen Xiner's back and comforted her, "Xiner, don't cry, I'm fine, right?"

Chen Xiner raised her head and looked at Lin Feng. Tears were still welling up in her eyes, and those moist eyes made people feel pity. She choked up and said, "After we entered the city, we kept walking towards the capital until we met the Emperor. Then we got the news from the Emperor that you were killed by Jian Cang."

Lin Feng's heart tightened. He hadn't expected Chen Xin'er and the others to hear such news. He looked at Chen Xin'er's moist eyes, his heart filled with guilt. He said gently, "Xin'er, don't worry, I'm fine. Although Jian Cang is powerful, I'm not that easy to defeat."

Chen Xiner hugged Lin Feng tightly, her body trembling slightly, revealing her inner fear and anxiety. Lin Feng continued to comfort Chen Xiner, his voice soft and warm: "Xiner, don't be afraid, I will always be with you. We have gone through so many difficulties together, and we will definitely get through this time too."

Their actions caught the attention of everyone in the hall. They watched them silently, their faces displaying varying expressions. Some smiled with relief, as if delighted by their reunion; others looked envious, as if lamenting the deep bond between them; and still others were surprised, having not expected such a scene to unfold in this solemn hall.

When the Emperor saw this, he was stunned for a moment, then pretended to cough. This cough broke the silence in the hall and made Chen Xiner realize her own loss of composure.

Chen Xiner's face instantly turned red. She quickly lowered her head and released the hand that was holding Lin Feng. Her heart was filled with shyness and embarrassment. She didn't know how to face the gazes of everyone in the hall.

Lin Feng was also a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly, then looked at the Emperor and said, "Emperor, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

The Emperor shook his head slightly, a smile on his face. He said, "It's okay. The affection between young people is always touching."

Lin Feng and Chen Xiner both lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at the Emperor. They knew that their actions were indeed inappropriate in this solemn hall.

Chen Xiner, still feeling a bit overwhelmed after her unexpected reunion with Lin Feng, quietly walked aside, a faint blush still lingering on her cheeks. Her gaze occasionally flicked towards Lin Feng, a mixture of shyness and anticipation in her eyes.

The Emperor sat on a high throne, looking at Lin Feng with deep eyes, and slowly said: "Lin Feng, I like what you asked Chen Xiner to give me. However, what you brought is somewhat similar to what that group of people used."

Lin Feng was slightly startled, and a strong curiosity surged in his heart. He quickly asked: "Emperor, which group are you talking about?"

The Emperor raised his chin slightly, a flash of memory in his eyes, and said, "It's what you saw when you entered the city, just like the bridge."

Hearing this, Lin Feng's eyes widened instantly, and he was shocked. That group of people was exactly what he had always wanted to see, which reminded him of what Su Yu from Taixu Valley had said. His mind raced, as if he saw countless possibilities unfolding before his eyes.

"Emperor, when will that group of people appear again?" Lin Feng asked anxiously, his voice full of anticipation.

The Emperor looked at Lin Feng's eager expression and couldn't help but burst into laughter. "It seems you are also very interested in them. Hahaha!"

Lin Feng's expression was firm as he said, "I'm very interested. Please let me know, Lord."

The Emperor's smile faded slightly, his expression becoming serious. He said, "They will appear in about seven days, saying they are here to maintain the bridge and other buildings. You and I will meet them together then."

Lin Feng was overjoyed and quickly clasped his fists in greeting, saying, "Thank you, Emperor, for your permission!" He looked up and saw the Emperor nod slightly, and a strong sense of anticipation surged in his heart. However, he suddenly remembered that there was something else that was crucial, so he spoke again.

"Emperor, I have another favor to ask of you." Lin Feng's voice was firm and powerful.

The Emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Lin Feng with interest, and said, "Oh? What else do you want?"

Lin Feng took a deep breath, mustered up the courage and said, "Emperor, I want to marry Chen Xiner."

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent. Lin Feng nervously raised his head, glanced at the Emperor, and then quickly glanced at Chen Xin'er, who was blushing. Chen Xin'er's cheeks were like ripe apples, and her eyes were filled with surprise and shyness, but also with a hint of joy.

The Emperor was slightly startled, then stroked his beard and fell into deep thought. His eyes flicked back and forth between Lin Feng and Chen Xiner, as if considering something.

"What you brought is indeed something new, and it can also change this era. It can be considered a great achievement, but it is indeed a bit difficult to cancel the marriage of Jiuhuang Pavilion." The emperor said slowly, his voice full of hesitation.

Lin Feng's heart tightened instantly. He knew the difficulty of this matter, but he was unwilling to give up. He knelt again and said firmly, "Emperor, Chen Xin'er and I are in love. I beg Your Majesty to grant us this. I am willing to serve you and the country with all my heart in return for your permission."

Chen Xiner stood aside, her heart filled with emotion. She looked at Lin Feng's determined figure, tears glistening in her eyes. She knew that Lin Feng was doing his best for their future.

The Emperor looked at Lin Feng's determined expression, and his heart moved slightly. He thought for a long time, and finally said, "I will consider this matter again. You may withdraw first."

Lin Feng knelt without hesitation, his forehead hitting the ground with a dull thud. His eyes were firm and resolute, his voice filled with sincerity and expectation: "I beg your Majesty to grant me this."
