Ye Chen's potential was too great for Linglong to ignore. She concealed herself in the shadows this time to observe Ye Chen and consider betrothing Qing Luo to him.
However, as fate would have it, while Linglong was observing Ye Chen, she discovered his great secret!
The Emperor of Heaven had no grudge against Linglong, but since he was the master of the Kirin, it stirred malicious thoughts within her.
"The Kirin and I are soulbound; it is already a part of me and will never recognize another master!" Ye Chen said. "The Kirin is my life. Anyone who wants the Kirin is asking for my life!"
Determined to establish the Heavenly Court, Ye Chen needed the Kirin to suppress fortune. How could he ever let it go?
Moreover, if the Saint Linglong threatened him and he compromised once, he might have to compromise forever, living a lifetime under Linglong's control!
Ye Chen had lofty ambitions; how could he let anyone control him?
