Chapter 1238: Chapter 1229: Big Brother Has Done So Much for Qingluo_1 Chapter 1238: Chapter 1229: Big Brother Has Done So Much for Qingluo_1 “Big Brother.”

Lin Qingluo was touched and gently tugged at his brother’s sleeve, shaking it softly, with a hint of coquettishness.

“Thank you, for caring for Qingluo so much and always thinking about me. Without my brothers telling me, I wouldn’t have known how much you’ve done for me. I’m truly grateful.”

“You’re my only sister, who else would I care for if not you?”

Lin Jinyu’s eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the little hand grasping his sleeve, his gaze so tender it seemed like it could drop water.

“Yes, Qingluo, you are the only daughter of the Duke of Zhen’s mansion. Who else would we brothers care for if not you?”

Lin Jinxu looked on enviously, wishing his sister’s little hand would grab onto his sleeve as well.

Lin Jinyun felt the same, subconsciously touching his sleeve with a slight sense of regret.

“There are many issues left over from the previous dynasty.”

Second Uncle Lin accepted his son’s explanation and raised new concerns: “Not only Duanhui, but also the princes of various fiefs and those like King of Qi who are not related by blood. Whether to keep their titles and territories requires a decision soon.”

“I understand.”

Lin Jinyun bowed respectfully, listening to the advice.

“Second Uncle, his affairs are already quite busy. Fourth Brother has been working very hard.”

As the eldest brother, Lin Jinyu felt obligated to defend his fourth brother: “As for the previous dynasty’s matters, let’s not deal with them for now so as not to back some people into a corner. They might take advantage of the army’s expedition against Beiming to plot rebellion.”

“Big Brother is right.”

Lin Jinyun gratefully glanced at his eldest brother and quietly agreed.

“Fourth Brother, be careful and stay safe in the Imperial Palace.”

Lin Jinyu’s eyes were filled with concern: “If there are remnants of the former dynasty harboring malicious intentions, waiting to rebel, you will be their primary target.”

“Alright.”

Lin Jinyun felt warmed in his heart and smiled while nodding: “I’ll be careful.”

“Big Brother mentioned Fourth Brother’s safety, which reminded me.”

Lin Qingluo’s eyes gleamed, and her pretty face suddenly turned solemn, revealing a bit of authority, as she shouted into the air: “Qilin Guards, heed my order.”

“We are here.”

Eight Qilin Guards appeared like ghosts from the shadows, kneeling on one knee and bowing their heads to listen to her instructions.

Lin Qingluo’s gaze was sharp and full of authority: “From today on, you are responsible for protecting Fourth Brother’s safety. There shall be no failures.”

“Yes.”

The eight Qilin Guards, including Jifeng and Jiyu, were sincerely impressed with the new Emperor and respectfully accepted the order.

“You may leave.”

Lin Qingluo nodded in satisfaction and waved her hand, indicating for the eight guards to leave.

“Yes.”

The eight Qilin Guards responded in unison, their figures flashing and disappearing back into the shadows.

Lin Jinyu looked pleased: “With the Qilin Guards protecting Fourth Brother, I can rest assured.”

“Thank you, Sister.”

Lin Jinyun felt a wave of warmth in his heart, and if it were not for his eldest brother being around, he would have wanted to hug his little sister.

“Fourth Brother has done even more for Qingluo.”

Lin Qingluo blinked her eyes playfully and smiled sweetly: “If anyone should say thanks, it should be Qingluo thanking Fourth Brother.”

“Such a clever and cute little sister.”

Lin Jinyun’s eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and he subconsciously reached out his hand, wanting to pinch his sister’s nose: “Fourth Brother really wants to put you in his pocket, carry you with him every day, and never be apart.”

“Fourth Brother is joking. Qingluo is not a cloth doll, so how could you put her in your pocket?”

Lin Qingluo reacted quickly, retreating deftly to avoid her brother’s hand.

“Hehe.”

When Lin Jinyun saw how fast she escaped, he laughed teasingly.

At the foot of Foshou Temple, the Blessing Feast Restaurant was bustling with people, a constant stream of patrons coming and going.

A group of horse carriage drivers entered the restaurant’s first floor and after three rounds of drinks, all excited and unable to hold back their voices, grew louder and louder.

“The Xuzhou branch of Blood Hand Hall was challenged and wiped out. All 128 of them were killed, without a single survivor.”

For the people of Jianghu, it was hard to talk without discussing the grudges and feuds within the martial world.
