Zhu Bin did not know that Invincible East had left. At this moment, he was in the forest, facing someone.
The man was dressed in a black robe. His face was white and he was about fifty years old. He wore a thin sword at his waist, which was only two fingers wide. He no longer had any aura, but he stood there as if he had merged with the world.
Zhu Bin stood quietly opposite him. The man in black did not speak, and he did not speak either. The sound of insects in the forest could be heard everywhere, but under this commotion, the two of them seemed even quieter.
After a long time, the man in black said,"You don't seem to be afraid of me. I don't even see a trace of respect for a martial grandmaster in your eyes.”
"Why should I be respectful to a martial grandmaster? I'll become a martial grandmaster sooner or later and surpass you, Lin Yuantu!”Zhu Bin didn't say anything heroic. It was as if he was telling the truth.
The black-robed man was Lin Yuantu. The aura he emitted was very similar to the Evil-Exorcising Sword Manual that Zhu Bin was very familiar with. However, it seemed to be stronger and more exquisite than the Evil-Exorcising Sword Manual in Zhu Bin's hands.
" You are very confident. With your talent, you are indeed qualified. However, you should know that not only are you talented, even an emperor or a Godly State expert can't guarantee that they can live until their lifespan is exhausted. Most geniuses die prematurely," Lin Yuantu said lightly.
"You're right!" Zhu Bin replied indifferently. He did not refute, nor did he say that he would definitely be the last one to live because Zhu Bin did not dare to guarantee it.
Not to mention Zhu Bin, in the myriad worlds, countless geniuses who were more talented than Zhu Bin, had greater backgrounds than Zhu Bin, and had better opportunities than Zhu Bin had all fallen halfway. Countless figures who stood at the peak of a universe could not escape death in the end.
" You're not bad. You have such talent, but you're not arrogant or rash. You've recognized yourself. You're better than I expected." Lin Yuantu suddenly smiled, seemingly very happy.
Zhu Bin didn't understand and looked at Lin Yuantu with confusion.
"Do you think I'm looking for you because of the Lin family or the Exorcism Sword Manual?”Lin Yuantu saw Zhu Bin's confusion and smiled.
" If it's not because of this, could it be…" Zhu Bin's heart sank, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
" In the Daming Empire, every adult royal disciple will be inspected. Although you are not an adult, you are already able to travel the martial world alone and have already reached the standards of inspection. This time, when the Lin family was in trouble, I asked His Majesty to inspect you," Lin Yuantu said with a smile.
" I see. I only guessed that you would join the royal family. I thought that you were here for the Lin family's calamity." Zhu Bin smiled slightly and did not ask about the inspection.
If Zhu Bin didn't ask, Lin Yuantu would tell him what he should know. If Zhu Bin shouldn't know, it would be useless to ask.
" Back then, when I left behind the Evil-Warding Sword Manual, I had nothing to do with the Lin family. Their lives had nothing to do with me. However, since an old friend forced the Lin family to see me, I naturally had to come out," Lin Yuantu said with nostalgia.
It had been decades since he had stepped foot in the martial world. However, as long as there were still old friends in the martial world, whether they were enemies or friends, as long as they existed, he would not be considered to have retired from the martial world. However, after a few decades, he had stepped foot in the martial world again, which made him feel a little emotional.
After hearing Lin Yuantu's words, Zhu Bin immediately understood. After Lin Yuantu renounced asceticism at the Shaolin Temple in Putian, he castrated himself. Where did the child come from? The current Lin family was just a product of his cover-up. How much affection could Lin Yuantu have?
Even if there was one in the past, many years had passed since then. His adopted son had passed away long ago, so there was naturally nothing left. Otherwise, with Lin Yuantu's realm as a Great Grandmaster, the Lin family wouldn't be in such a miserable state if he supported them a little.
"Zhu Bin, I can see that although your martial talent is outstanding and your temperament is excellent, you don't seem to have much of a desire for power. However, you have to know that since you are a disciple of the Imperial Family, there are many things that you can't choose."
"I will report your situation to His Majesty truthfully. At that time, with your talent, you will definitely enter His Majesty's eyes. No matter what you think, you can only fight. Instead of letting others force you to fight, it is better to take the initiative. Do you understand what I mean?”
Lin Yuantu's eyes were burning as if he wanted to see through Zhu Bin's thoughts. However, Zhu Bin was still as calm as ever. Zhu Bin had expected this day to come, but he did not expect it to come so soon. He had just stepped into the martial world and it had already come.
In fact, what Lin Yuantu said wasn't considered a secret in the Ming royal family. In fact, many forces in the Ming world knew very well that Emperor Ming, Zhu Yuanzhang, was currently choosing his successor.
All the disciples of the Ming royal family would be examined once they reached the age of eighteen. After that, they would be examined, screened, and nurtured again and again. Other than Emperor Ming Zhu Yuanzhang, no one would know how they would be judged.
This was a game of great temptation. The winner would inherit Zhu Yuanzhang's vast territory and control hundreds of millions of lives.
However, this was also the cruelest game. As long as Zhu Yuanzhang thought that you were qualified to participate in this game, you had to participate, even if there was only one winner.
