Zi Ling felt the pressure of the Lin Astral Emperor's gaze fall onto her and she couldn't help lowering her head a bit. But she quickly looked back up at him and met his gaze.

She naturally understood what she was asking for.

Lin Fan had the Void Physique, which was the ultimate form of the Lin Family's inherited True Void Technique.

So it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Lin Fan was already decided as the next family head and the next Astral Emperor.

So the most important thing for the Lin Astral Family now was finding someone suitable to Lin Fan to ensure that he would be able to pass down this Void Physique to his descendants. This was something that involved the future prosperity of the Lin Astral Family, so it was not something that they would take lightly.

In terms of status, Zi Ling really didn't fit that role, but she was trying to follow Lin Fan as his maid.

So of course, this was not something that the Lin Astral Family would easily accept.

For this kind of bold action, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the Zi Stellar Kingdom might be punished for this. What she was doing was basically throwing the Zi Stellar Kingdom into the jaws of the lion.

Naturally the people that followed her couldn't help looking at her with terrified looks.

But Zi Ling didn't care about that at all, she just cared about this…or rather, she just cared about Lin Fan's answer.

After all, if Lin Fan spoke up, then…

The Lin Astral Emperor didn't say anything as he just looked at Zi Ling, but out of the corner of his eyes, he was watching for Lin Fan's reaction.

He had already seen how Lin Fan had acted around Zi Ling and he had seen Zi Ling's reports about Lin Fan. How could someone as powerful and wise as him not be able to see through the feelings of these kids?

So if Lin Fan said something, he didn't really mind since he quite liked this Zi Ling in the first place.

She was smart and good at cultivating, so she would surely be someone that could support Lin Fan in the future.

But for the sake of their Lin Astral Family, he still had to put on an act.

So he was just waiting for Lin Fan now.

And as he had expected, Lin Fan spoke up after hesitating a bit.

"I want to bring her with me to the Lin Astral Empire."

It was just a simple sentence, but there was conviction behind it.

The Lin Astral Emperor revealed a faint smile, but that only lasted a second before he revealed a stern look. He turned to Lin Fan and said, "Xiao Fan, you should know what it means to take someone like her with you back to our Lin Astral Empire. This is not something that will be beneficial to you."

Lin Fan was silent for a bit before looking back at him and saying, "Still, I want to bring her back with me."

After saying this, he turned to look at Zi Ling and slowly, he moved towards her. When he was in front of her, he stopped and took her hand as he said, "This is my answer."

Zi Ling's heart almost jumped out of chest at this moment as she looked up at Lin Fan. However, seeing the way that he looked at her, she couldn't help lowering her head with a blush.

But the warm feeling in her heart remained.

This was all she wanted and now that she had gotten it, she was satisfied.

In fact, everyone here had happy looks on their faces…except Lin Yue.

She was the only one with a calm look that people couldn't see through. However, if one looked closely into her eyes, they would be able to see the flames of anger that burned in her eyes.

There were also some dark thoughts that appeared in her mind.

As for Lin Fan, he was certain in his decision.

From the first moment that he saw her in the Inheritance Realm back on the Blue Star Planet, he had felt that there was something different about Zi Ling.

She had always been in the back of his mind, even when they had been apart for so long.

It was a lie to say that his heart hadn't skipped a beat when they met again.

But the one thing that had been holding him back was…the difference in statuses. He had felt that he didn't match up to her yet, so he couldn't make his feelings clear.

But now that she had taken the first step, he wouldn't be a man if he didn't step up.

So he did what he had to do.

Seeing this, the Lin Astral Emperor gave a nod.

This was how a man should act, if there was something he liked, he should take it for himself.

Since Lin Fan had done all this, the Lin Astral Emperor said with a nod, "Good, then she will come with us."

With a wave of his hand, he said, "Let's go pick up the people you want to pick up and then head back."

He didn't wait for anyone as he turned to head into the spaceship.

Lin Fan held Zi Ling's hand as they turned to leave, but then Zi Ling suddenly turned around to say, "I'll have to trouble you to tell my father this."

Naturally the people she was talking to were the group from the Zi Stellar Kingdom.

All of them just nodded in a daze.

Not a single one of them dared to stop her because they knew that the one she was following was the next heir of the Lin Astral Empire, he was not someone that any of them could offend.

Even if Zi Ling's father, the Zi Stellar King was here, he could only nod in agreement.

But once they were gone, this group was filled with excitement.

They knew what the implications of Zi Ling heading off with them was and it was absolutely beneficial to their Zi Stellar Kingdom.

While they might have lost an heir to the throne, what they would gain was worth much more. Not to mention that there were plenty of heirs to the throne that could replace Zi Ling, so there was no problem at all in terms of succession.

After they left the space around the Blue Star Planet, Lin Fan had them head back to the Mu Stellar Kingdom.

Since his family members had already bid farewell to everyone on the Blue Star Planet already, there was no need for him to go. Not to mention that there was something there that he didn't want to face.

With the speed of this Astral Empire's spaceship, it took them a quarter of the time it took with Zi Ling's personal spaceship.

During this time, Lin Fan had been catching up with his family and the Lin Family Ancestor.

It turned out that the Lin Family Ancestor had already known everything and had been working with Zi Ling the entire time.

Not to mention, there was something very special about the Lin Family Ancestor's identity.

He was the son of the Lin Astral Emperor.

When asked about this, all he said was, "Something happened in the past and I wanted to find a place to rest, so I went down to one of the lower worlds and met a woman. There I started a family and I stayed there until you came along."

At this, he looked at Lin Fan with eyes filled with admiration and happiness, "Your talent is something that even I can't compete with, but I'm happy that you're one of my descendants."

After that, he turned at Lin Ao and said, "I always thought that it would be Ao'er who would have the most talent in our entire Lin Family, but I never thought that it would be his son. But of course, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree."

Lin Ao also revealed a proud look when he heard this.

He might not have been able to achieve greatness, but the fact that his son had gone far beyond what he could ever imagine was enough to fill him with pride.

After what had happened with Yue Qingrou and Lin Yue back in the Galactic Humanity Alliance, he had already settled down like the Lin Family Ancestor had, so he didn't mind that his son had surpassed him.

He recognized that one day, the younger generation would surpass them.

When they arrived at the Mu Stellar Kingdom, there was a royal procession that welcomed them.

Of course they would send notice to the Mu Stellar Kingdom that they would be coming and the Mu Stellar Kingdom didn't dare neglect them.

After all, this was the Lin Astral Empire!

The Mu Stellar Kingdom along with the Zi Stellar Kingdom were both under the Lin Astral Empire.

Even the Tai, Bai, and Ran Stellar Kingdoms were all under the Lin Astral Empire.

The Lin Astral Empire just gave them the freedom to compete with each other because they didn't care about these Stellar Kingdoms. As long as they didn't take things too far, the Lin Astral Empire didn't care what they did.

But a visit from the Lin Astral Empire was a completely different story.

If anyone from these Stellar Kingdoms offended the Lin Astral Empire, their Stellar Kingdom would be destroyed overnight.

No matter how many Sun Realm Experts they had, it was impossible for them to resist the Lin Astral Empire.

So the Mu Stellar Kingdom group was very nervous when meeting the Lin Astral Empire procession.

But when they appeared, the Mu Stellar Kingdom group couldn't help being shocked.
