Lin Pingzhi's Surrender, Gu Xichao's Mission
Gu Xichao was only twenty-three or twenty-four years old, but she had already broken through to Grandmaster. Although she was not as good as Ye Gucheng, Ximen Chuixue, and the others, she was still a genius in Great Ming. She was definitely someone who had a chance of becoming a Great Grandmaster.
Moreover, Zhu Bin valued Gu Xichao not because of his martial strength, but because of his talent and strategy. Gu Xichao was definitely a very powerful strategist, and he could even lead troops into battle.
Of these two points, the former was what Zhu Bin needed the most right now, while the latter was an indispensable part of Zhu Bin's future plans. It could be said that it was definitely Zhu Bin's fortune to have someone like Gu Xichao.
Just as Zhu Bin and Gu Xichao were celebrating, a voice interrupted them.
"I, Lin Pingzhi, am also willing to serve young master.”
Lin Pingzhi quickly walked to the table and knelt down on the ground like Gu Xichao.
Zhu Bin frowned slightly. Lin Pingzhi's loyalty was beyond his expectations. To be honest, Zhu Bin had planned to take over Fuwei Bodyguard Agency, but after meeting Lin Yuantu, he had given up on that idea.
Compared to some big forces, Fu Wei Bodyguard Agency was nothing. It was not even comparable to a third-rate force, and it did not have many talents. However, seeing Lin Pingzhi now, Zhu Bin still agreed.
"Sure, you can follow Xichao first. When you satisfy Xichao, you can work for me!”Zhu Bin said lightly. He didn't want to talk about their friendship with Lin Pingzhi. If Lin Pingzhi couldn't do it, Zhu Bin wouldn't give him any preferential treatment.
The current Lin Pingzhi was indeed too inexperienced. Whether it was his martial arts or his ability to do things, he could not meet Zhu Bin's requirements at all. Putting aside his ability to do things, what ability could a rich young master like him have?
As for martial arts, although he had already mastered the Evil-Warding Sword Manual, it was still too short. At this moment, he was at most on par with Linghu Chong, or even worse.
The only thing that caught Zhu Bin's attention was the characteristics of the Evil-Warding Swordsmanship. It was extremely fast and could be practiced quickly. In a few months, Lin Pingzhi would become a Xiantian master. In five years, he would become a grandmaster.
As for the Grandmaster, Zhu Bin had no hope at all. Lin Yuantu was able to rely on the incomplete Sunflower Manual to create his own Evil Repelling Sword Technique and become a Grandmaster because he was an outstanding disciple of the Shaolin Temple in Putian and had outstanding talent.
Even so, Lin Yuantu still sought refuge with the royal family. He probably obtained something special from the royal family before he broke through to the master realm. As for Lin Pingzhi, Zhu Bin felt that it was already good enough for him to break through to the master realm.
However, what Zhu Bin didn't know was that under Gu Xichao's command, Lin Pingzhi had given Zhu Bin a big surprise.
Lin Pingzhi looked at Zhu Bin, then at Gu Xichao. He looked like he wanted to say something, but he hesitated. Finally, he gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Zhu Bin again, shouting,""Young Master, please save my parents!"
" You are now under the jurisdiction of Xi Chao, ask him," Zhu Bin said lightly, not the slightest bit moved by Lin Pingzhi's plea.
Lin Pingzhi's expression darkened. He gritted his teeth and knelt in front of Gu Xichao. He said again,""Young Master Gu, please help me!"
Gu Xichao's expression did not change at all. She gently knocked on the table. After a moment, she said indifferently,""I can help you, but you have to remember that there is a price to pay. After this, I will train you in the cruelest way.”
Although Zhu Bin's expression did not change, he secretly sighed. When Gu Xichao was serious, she indeed had the demeanor of a peerless strategist. However, it was probably because of the huge blow she had suffered previously that her temperament had become ruthless.
However, Zhu Bin didn't care. Among his strategists, there must be a ruthless existence. As long as he was talented, Zhu Bin would dare to use him. It was a big taboo for any outstanding strategists to have a woman's heart.
As a monarch, you can have a benevolent heart, but a counselor can't!
"In that case, I agree!" Gu Xichao said calmly and then looked at Zhu Bin.
"You can leave anytime!" Zhu Bin replied. This was just a small test. Firstly, it was to test Gu Xichao's ability. Secondly, it was to show Gu Xichao his talent to Zhu Bin. The two of them had a tacit understanding.
"Does Young Master have any other instructions?”Gu Xichao nodded slightly and continued to ask.
" You should know what I need now. Do as you see fit. However, I'm at a critical moment in my martial arts cultivation. I need a large number of martial arts secret manuals. Any secret manual will do. If there's a chance, help me collect some secret manuals," Zhu Bin said lightly.
"Alright, Xichao will take her leave now!" Gu Xichao cupped his hands slightly without any expression. He understood that this was Zhu Bin's true test, but Gu Xichao was confident in himself.
Zhu Bin mentioned three things. The first was to save Lin Pingzhi's parents. It was very specific and the easiest to complete. The second thing, Zhu Bin did not give a specific goal. It was completely up to Gu Xichao to do it freely. This was also the key to Zhu Bin's evaluation of Gu Xichao.
As for the third task, which was to collect martial arts manuals, it was more like an additional question. However, how well the additional question was done was definitely an important criterion for Zhu Bin to judge Gu Xichao.
Many people could accomplish the first two tasks, but the last task was not easy.
