Chapter 2007. Back up! (1/2)

“Prince Ji Du is very cunning… The picture in his jade is almost exactly the same as me, and it allows people to recognize me at a glance. So this means that when he saw me at Blackstone City, he already had his suspicion!

“But he hid it very well, to the point that not even I noticed.”Wang Lin took the jade and looked at Ji Du. His face was still filled with respect, but it was now pale and covered in sweat.

“That’s why he deliberately made the ancient demon attack, to verify his suspicion. Then, once he was certain, he revealed the right amount of shock. Finally, to make me stay, he asked me to stay so he could pay me respect.

“However, since he dared to point out my identity here and bow to me, it means he is trying to show he has no hostility towards me. However, why does he think that a celestial clan Ascendant Empyrean wouldn’t just kill a prince like him...

“Unless…”Wang Lin’s expression was calm. His gaze lingered on Prince Ji Du for a moment before retracting them.

Wang Lin slowly said, “Since you dare to say this before me, then you already know my identity.”

After prince Ju Di heard this, he relaxed a bit. His action earlier was the same as walking into death, but he was determined. He would not give up this chance after meeting Wang Lin, especially when it would determine his fate!

“Ancient Dao Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo’s only disciple is named Wang Lin. Although this matter is a secret, as a member of the royal family, we still found out. When Xuan Luo went to the celestial clan and came back, he immediately went into closed door cultivation. We began to investigate, and with the help of Grand Empyrean Song, we guessed most of it.

“However, even then, Father and Grand Empyrean Song Tian were not sure if the celestial clan’s White-Haired Empyrean Exalt Wang Lin was the same person as Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo’s disciple.

“Even Junior only realized it after seeing Senior at Blackstone City. It turns out that Senior is indeed Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo’s disciple!” Ji Du sweated even more as he quickly spoke. Before Wang Lin, he felt a great pressure even stronger than when he faced his father; it was comparable to Grand Empyrean Song Tian.

The woman behind him turned pale after listening to all of this. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. However, for her to be allowed to stay, then she was obviously someone Ji Du trusted.

Wang Lin’s gaze swept by the woman. She looked similar to Ji Du.

“This is my younger sister. She had the same mother as me,” Ji Du quickly explained.

Wang Lin slowly said, “Since you know my identity, know I’m Xuan Luo’s disciple, and saw me asking for the map to the Ancient Dao, you know I’m heading there, so why are you bowing to me?”

“Senior, the Ancient Dao is not a good place… Even if Senior is Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo’s disciple, the Ancient Dao Emperor is very narrow-minded. If Senior goes, you will surely be suppressed…” Before Prince Ji Du finished speaking, there was a flash of coldness in Wang Lin’s eyes and he let out a cold snort.

He waved his sleeve and turned to leave the palace.

“Senior!!” Prince Ju Di clenched his teeth and got down on one knee! As the prince, he only knelt to his father and mother and never anyone else, but today, he was kneeling before Wang Lin.

If it was in the celestial clan, this matter would not be a big deal, but in the Ancient Clan, where imperial power ruled supreme, Prince Ji Du’s action was enough to shock everyone!

This royal sister was startled, and after hesitating a bit, she also knelt down.

“Senior, Junior is willing to become your adopted son and you will become my godfather. Once I become the Ancient Shi emperor, you would be the imperial father!!

“I ask Senior to help me! Father has seven sons, and I’m ranked fifth. If Senior is willing to help me, I’m willing to satisfy all of Senior’s requirements!” Prince Ji Du said loudly. His voice was filled with sincerity and desire.

Wang Lin stopped and turned to look at Prince Ji Du. His eyes gradually revealed a ghostly light.

“As a prince of the Ancient Shi, whose imperial power rules supreme, to actually kneel to me… Answer me, who told you to accompany the Ancient Dao ambassadors?

“Who told you that if you meet me, you must be even willing to kneel to make me stay!

“And who told you that you would meet me in Blackstone City?” Wang Lin would not believe that this happened without some cause. Otherwise, this prince would not be kneeling. Someone must have told him ahead of time!

And this person had to be someone the prince believed in enough to follow their directions!

Prince Ju Di’s expression was pale. Although he was very cunning, before Wang Lin, he felt like he was completely seen through.

“It… It was the imperial teacher… The imperial teacher is my uncle, my mother’s younger brother… 10 years ago, he came out of closed door cultivation and divinated my future. He told me that when the Ancient Dao ambassadors come, I must accompany them. There, I’ll meet a chance to change my fate...

“If I can grasp this chance, my fate will change and my future will be limitless… But if I can’t grasp it, then I won’t live more than 100 years… As for the specifics, he couldn’t see clearly and only had a vague feeling. After that, he… he died.”

Facing Wang Lin’s powerful gaze, Prince Ji Du’s mind trembled and he didn’t dare to hide anything.
