“Baoya.”
Upon seeing Baoya, Lin Yixuan’s heart filled with joy as he bent down to pick him up.
“Oooh, oooh.”
Upon seeing Lin Yixuan’s white hair, Baoya was startled and his heart trembled. His front paws hooked onto a strand of hair, whimpering constantly.
“Baoya, it’s okay.”
Lin Yixuan’s eyes dimmed for a moment before a reassuring smile crossed his face. He comforted the animal, “It’s just a few strands of white hair, it can be dyed back to black.”
“Master, the Little Prince, he… ”
As if realizing something, Baoya’s soft, mellow voice trembled with fear.
“He revealed the prophecy, saving the lives of everyone in Capital City.”
Lin Qingluo’s heart ached with bitterness, her right fist clenched tightly and her knuckles turned white. 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
“Ahhh, my poor Little Prince, such a pitiful child.”
Baoya let out a miserable howl, gazing upon the little friend who had grown up with him. His heart, liver, and lungs ached, and tears flowed visibly from his leopard eyes.
“Baoya, don’t cry, I’m fine, really, I’m fine.”
Lin Yixuan’s eyes flashed with gratitude as he gently wiped away Baoya’s tears.
“Yixuan, the Imperial Guards will be here soon. Let’s dye your hair first.”
With tearful eyes, Lin Qingluo seized the opportunity to change the subject, hoping to alleviate the ineffable pain in her heart.
“Alright.”
Lin Yixuan obediently nodded, carrying Baoya to the dressing table, and took his place before the mirror.
Lin Qingluo quietly wiped away a tear from the corner of her eye, picked up a strand of hair with a comb, applied hair dye cream, and gently began dyeing his hair for him.
Through the mirror, Lin Yixuan looked at his sister, black obsidian-like eyes glittering with little specks of starlight.

*Bang, Bang, Bang.*
The heavy steel door of the Duke of Zhen’s mansion was forcefully knocked from the outside. As soon as a servant opened a crack in the door, he was rudely pushed aside, and a group of ferocious soldiers surged in.
“The Crown Princess orders a search for the Evil King; no one is allowed to resist. Anyone who does will be treated as an accomplice, and arrested to be imprisoned in the Imperial Prison.”
The Security Camp Commander had malevolent intentions in his eyes as he kicked away the servant who tried to stop him and led his men into the mansion.
“Stop! The Duke of Zhen’s mansion is not a place for you to act recklessly.”
The young men of the Lin Clan, armed with swords, blocked the soldiers sent to search the mansion.
“We are carrying out the orders of the Crown Princess. Are you openly defying her commands, or are you planning a rebellion?”
The Security Camp Commander’s eyes were filled with menace. With a wave of his right hand, hundreds of Security Battalion soldiers unsheathed their long swords, surrounding the seven brothers of the Lin Clan.
“Commander Lu, don’t be reckless.”
A group of Imperial Guards followed closely behind. He Yao was among them, discreetly exchanging glances with Lin Jinyu.
It seemed as if he was trying to persuade the Security Camp Commander, but in reality, he was just passing on information to his close friend.
“The Duke of Zhen’s family is full of heroes. They would never collude with the Monster King. Even if Miss Lin might be close to the Little Prince, she knows right from wrong and would never shelter the Evil King and his son.”
Upon hearing the words ‘Miss Lin,’ the Lins’ eyes became filled with a compelling cold light.
‘Brothers, the Noble Lord has already left the Capital City; Yixuan is with me. Let them search if they so wish; with me here, they will never find him.”
Lin Qingluo’s fragile voice clearly reached the ears of the seven brothers, carrying a formidable sense of confidence.
The Lin brothers’ minds were put at ease, but they did not lower the swords in their hands. They continued to stand off against the Security Battalion’s soldiers.
The dignity of the Duke of Zhen’s mansion would not be trampled upon.
“Commander Lu, the person you are looking for is not in the Duke of Zhen’s mansion. Please leave.”
The Duke of Zhen, accompanied by his eldest son Lin Xiaoyang, strode forward. A man who had spent his life on the battlefield, his presence commanded innate awe and respect.
