Chapter 184 9 Imperial Pavilion

Lin Feng was immediately flustered when he heard this and quickly refused, "Uncle Chen, this is absolutely impossible. I only consider Xin'er a friend and have never had any other thoughts." However, his expression betrayed his true thoughts. A hint of panic and shyness flashed in his eyes, and his cheeks flushed slightly.

Chen Hongtao smiled slightly and did not expose Lin Feng. Instead, he followed his words and said, "Since my nephew Lin is so loyal and considers Xin'er as a friend, I will not force you. But I still hope that you can help the Chen family resolve this matter. After all, it is related to Xin'er's lifelong happiness."

Lin Feng took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then said solemnly: "Uncle Chen, don't worry, Xin'er is my friend, I will definitely help her solve the problem at hand."

From then on, Lin Feng and Xu Tian temporarily lived in the Chen family. Lin Feng spent all day thinking about how to help the Chen family reject the marriage proposal from the Nine Emperors Pavilion. He sat in his room, brow furrowed, holding a book in his hands, but he had no interest in reading.

Outside the window, sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting patches of light onto the ground. A gentle breeze blew by, bringing a hint of coolness. Lin Feng's heart was filled with worry. He knew that the Nine Emperors Pavilion was powerful, and that rejecting this marriage would be no easy task.

He thought about it for a few days, but still couldn't find a feasible solution. Finally, Lin Feng sighed helplessly: "It seems that I can only go to the Nine Emperor Pavilion."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Xin'er, who had been silently observing him from the side, suddenly became nervous. She hurried over to Lin Feng and said worriedly, "Lin Feng, you can't go to the Nine Emperor Pavilion. You have a history with the Nine Emperor Pavilion, and going directly to the Nine Emperor Pavilion like this might not be good for you."

Lin Feng looked at Chen Xin'er's concerned eyes, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart. He gently held Chen Xin'er's hand and said, "Xiner, don't worry. I have to give it a try, otherwise what will you do? I can't watch you being forced to marry the Young Master of the Nine Emperors Pavilion."

Chen Xiner's eyes were moist, and she shook her head: "But I don't want you to be in danger because of me."

Lin Feng smiled gently: "Don't worry, I will be careful. I will definitely find a way to resolve this matter and set you free."

Chen Xiner was silent for a moment, then suddenly came up with an idea. "Lin Feng, to ensure your safe return, we can have my father spread the word that you're going to visit the Nine Emperors Pavilion. That way, you can go to the Nine Emperors Pavilion openly, and the Nine Emperors Pavilion won't dare to do anything to you easily, because you belong to the Empire, and they can't possibly be the enemy of the Empire."

Lin Feng was slightly stunned, then nodded: "This is a good idea. Let's do it this way."

So, Chen Hongtao followed their plan and spread the news that Lin Feng was going to visit the Nine Emperors Pavilion. This news spread instantly throughout Jinyan City and even reached Xihai City. Those who had heard of Lin Feng's feud with the Nine Emperors Pavilion began to discuss it, and everyone speculated about what would happen during Lin Feng's visit to the Nine Emperors Pavilion.

In Xihai City, people were also talking about this matter.

"I heard that Lin Feng is going to Jiuhuang Pavilion. This is really a good show." A passerby said.

"Yes, Lin Feng had conflicts with Jiuhuang Pavilion before. I wonder what will happen when he goes to Jiuhuang Pavilion this time." Another person echoed.

At the Chen family in Jinyan City, the atmosphere also became tense. Chen Xiner was filled with worry. She paced around the room, praying that Lin Feng would return safely.

Lin Feng was making final preparations for going to the Nine Emperors Pavilion. He checked his equipment, adjusted his condition, and was filled with firm faith.

Lin Feng stood by the window, gazing at the sky outside, his mind racing. He knew this trip to the Nine Emperors Pavilion was fraught with unknown dangers, but for Chen Xiner, he had no hesitation.

Xu Tian walked over at this time. His eyes were still a little empty, but with a hint of worry. "Lin Feng, are you really determined to go to the Nine Emperors Pavilion? It's not a good place."

Lin Feng nodded slightly, "Xu Tian, ​​I must go. Chen Xiner can't be sacrificed like this, and this is what I should do as a friend."

Xu Tian was silent for a moment, "Then I'll go with you."

Lin Feng waved his hand quickly, "No, Xu Tian, ​​you've been through so much, you need to rest. Also, I'm not sure what will happen when we go to the Nine Emperors Pavilion this time. If you stay here, you can take care of Chen Xiner if anything happens."

Although Xu Tian was reluctant in his heart, he knew that what Lin Feng said made sense, so he nodded helplessly.

Between heaven and earth, a towering mountain rises like a giant, shrouded in mist and clouds, a mysterious and majestic presence. This mountain is called Nine Emperors Peak. Atop its summit, a vast palace shimmers like a dazzling pearl. Before the palace lies a vast plaza, paved with solid bluestone, smooth as a mirror. Sunlight casts a faint halo across the plaza.

Numerous figures moved across the square, punching, kicking, and brandishing swords with swift movements and unstoppable energy. Each movement was imbued with power and beauty, as if eloquently expressing their dedication and pursuit of martial arts. These individuals were disciples of the Nine Emperors' Pavilion, diligently cultivating to achieve higher realms and safeguard the honor of the Nine Emperors' Pavilion.

From afar, the palace appears to have been constructed by severing the mountainside, its grandeur and scale awe-inspiring. Surrounding the square and the palace are numerous houses, arranged in a staggered pattern, like stairways, creating a unique landscape. Each house is exquisitely elegant, with carved beams and painted buildings, exuding an ancient charm.

Behind the palace, there are many larger houses, each with its own unique character, some grand and imposing, others petite and exquisite. Among them, a towering tower stands out, soaring into the clouds as if piercing the heavens. This tower is one of the Nine Emperor Pavilion's iconic buildings, standing quietly there, giving off a mysterious and inviolable aura.

The atmosphere within the palace was solemn and dignified. On the innermost throne sat Huang Tian, ​​the head of the Nine Emperors Pavilion. He wore a magnificent robe embroidered with a golden phoenix, lifelike and ready to take flight at any moment. His face was majestic, his eyes deep as the abyss, as if he could see through everything in the world. His hair was neatly tied atop his head, revealing a smooth forehead, giving him an air of nobility and aloofness.

On either side of Huang Tian sat the ten elders. Their expressions were solemn, their eyes radiating wisdom and majesty. Each elder wore a robe of a different color, embroidered with their own unique symbol, representing their position and responsibilities within the Nine Emperors Pavilion. Behind them stood a number of disciples and deacons, their expressions respectful, as they quietly awaited the instructions of the Pavilion Master and the elders.
