926 Commander-in-Chief (2/2)
”Ah! Yet another swindler!” Lin Shoucheng did not even want to think about all the people who came to seek connections with him after he had made it big. The numbers were staggering, annoying him tremendously.
”Wait!” Jiang Wang felt that something was amiss. ”Your Highness, the guards at the entrance and the honorary experts in the mansion aren't idiots. If he didn't provide proof, he would have been chased away! Let me go take a look into this first.”
”Military Adviser is right!” The messenger looked relieved when he said that. ”That person is standing right there, but none of us can draw our weapons. Moreover, the two honorary experts in the mansion passed out immediately after he took a glance at them.”
”Oh?” Lin Shoucheng grew interested and exchanged glances with Jiang Wang.
Their current power and influence were different from before. Therefore, everyone they hired was a top expert.
The mansion's honorary experts were at least Essence Souls. It seemed like this person was not lying.
”Invite that man into the living room. I'll head there with you!”
After exchanging glances with Jiang Wang, he gathered his guards and honorary experts before entering the living room.
After entering the room, he saw a young man sitting on a red sandalwood chair sipping tea. The moment the young man spotted them, he smiled. ”Ah! I haven't seen the two of you in forever. It seems like you're getting more exuberant!”
”You are… Teacher?!” Jiang Wang asked doubtfully.
This man looked exactly the same as the master who had taught them in the past. The only difference was that he looked much younger than before.
”If Your Excellency says that you're Mister's nephew, that would be more believable…” Jiang Wang muttered uncertainly.
”Haha… Back then, you guys barged into my grass hut in the middle of the night to beg me to take you in as my disciples. Did you forget about that?” Fang Yuan joked with them, casually bringing up some secrets of the past.
”You are indeed Teacher!” Lin Shoucheng and Jiang Wang no longer had any doubts. ”We knew Teacher was extraordinary, and you are indeed a cultivator!”
Human Immortals and Earth Immortals had a long lifespan and the ability to maintain their forever young complexion. In addition to how mysterious and extraordinary their teacher was, it seemed like they had already considered this point.
Jiang Wang was sincere, while Lin Shoucheng sounded a little forced.
”It's nothing!” Fang Yuan waved his hands and looked at Lin Shoucheng. ”Back then, I took you two in as disciples, but that was merely a game. Moreover, you are a commander. People usually worship and salute you, so you don't have to restrict yourself to such courtesy for me in the future.”
”What is Teacher talking about? A teacher for a day, a father for life! Jiang Wang is immensely grateful to you and will never be able to return the favor!”
After all, Jiang Wang was an honest child whose eyes were already turning red. This made Lin Shoucheng, who was beside him, slightly awkward.
”All right! I came to visit about the city defenses!” Fang Yuan said with great dignity. ”I've heard of the Yang Xiu incident. Are you preparing to snatch the country's throne?”
”So what if I am?” Lin Shoucheng was indeed an ambitious and ruthless character and questioned Fang Yuan instead. ”Where did Mister hear this from?”
While saying that, he sent a secret message for his guards and honorary experts to stand closer to him.
”As long as I want to know about it, nobody can hide anything from me in this world!” Fang Yuan smiled. ”Moreover… A summer insect that does not live to see winter can not talk about the ice. It doesn't matter whether you become the king or not. I wouldn't even be here if you were not of any help to me about this matter… Also, the guards outside are simply not enough to deal with the danger that you're about to face!”
He clapped his hand.
Sha! Sha!
All of a sudden, all the guards and honorary experts walked out from the shadows and toward Fang Yuan like walking corpses to bow to him.
”This…” Lin Shoucheng took a step back, sweat rolling down his forehead profusely. ”Are you already a Heaven Immortal?”
He even had an Earth Immortal among the honorary experts in his mansion! In the face of this teacher, he actually did not have any strength to resist or fight back, shocking him to the core.
”Teacher… Shoucheng isn't thinking straight, so please do not blame him. If you have any orders, I will certainly do my best to accomplish it as your disciple!”
Jiang Wang hurriedly apologized on behalf of Lin Shoucheng.
”That is exactly what I want too!” Lin Shoucheng forced a smile while saying that. After recognizing the difference in strength, he understood that his negligible achievements were not worthy of Fang Yuan conspiring against him.
”Good that you guys are obedient!” Fang Yuan squinted his eyes to look at Lin Shoucheng. ”Do you know… that you are already facing imminent catastrophe?”
”Imminent catastrophe… Could there be changes to the abdication?” Lin Shoucheng quivered.
”No! It doesn't matter whether you abdicate or seize the throne forcefully. The moment you worship the heavens, there will be changes!” Fang Yuan warned him.
”Could Teacher be talking… about the evil matter?”
Jiang Wang and Lin Shoucheng looked at each other with solemn expressions.
”Since we're at a time like this, I'll tell you two everything… The existence that placed the evil Qi inside two is the root of chaos and a tumor of the heavens and the earth! Previously, when he assigned you two here, he was merely waiting for you two to bring chaos and invade other countries. Once you worship the heavens to become king, he will swoop in to take over everything to steal the fate of the country. Either that, or he can plant his seeds in you two to make it convenient for him to manipulate you in the future!” Fang Yuan said, revealing some information.
”Jiang Wang, your martial arts aren't good enough! Even your observation Qi isn't good enough… Look again!”
He waved his hands, and a force enveloped Jiang Wang and Lin Shoucheng.
”As expected!”
They lifted their heads, and even though their black dragons were roaring in a malevolent manner, they were trapped by shackles and chains.
”Teacher, please save me!”
Seeing this, Lin Shoucheng kept sweating before he finally could not take it anymore. He fell on his knees to beg for help.
