Chapter 2007. Back up! (2/2)

Wang Lin frowned. He had a deep dread toward the title of imperial teacher. These people were very good at divination, and Wang Lin had seen how terrifying they could be in the celestial clan.

However, this Ancient clan imperial teacher could obviously not compare the celestial clan and couldn’t see things clearly. With Wang Lin’s cultivation level, no matter how cunning the prince was, he could tell that he was not lying.

“If Godfather helps me, then everything will be complete! Now that Father is getting old and ready to retire, a new emperor will be chosen among my seven siblings… Godfather doesn’t need to immediately make a decision, but if one day Godfather decides to leave the Ancient Dao and has nowhere to go, please come here so this child can fulfill his filial piety,” Prince Ji Du quickly said.

“This child had prepared a gift for Godfather. This is my piety towards Godfather, please accept it.” The prince raised his right hand and something appeared.

This item was a jade body, and he respectfully handed it to Wang Lin.

Wang Lin pondered a bit and then took the jade. He scanned it with his divine sense and saw a jade and a cylinder as thick as a finger.

“This jade is a powerful treasure of my Ancient Shi. This was given to me by my father when I was born. Only the royal clan of the Ancient Shi can obtain it, and they only get one in their life.

“This item is an ancestral jade, and the power of the Ancient Ancestor’s finger is sealed inside. This item is very powerful, but its greatest role is to comprehend. If one can comprehend this finger, then it will be very useful.

“However, all the previous generations of Ancient Shi princes, and even the emperors, were unable to comprehend it. This is the most powerful treasure a prince gets. This child will gift it to Godfather.

“This cylinder contains a liquid. It is impossible to investigate its origins. The Ancient Ancestor left it, and it contains pure wood essence. This child knows that for Godfather to gain such reputation in the celestial clan, you had to cultivate essences, so I prepared this item.

This child is only the prince and not the Ancient Shi emperor, but if I become the Ancient Shi emperor, then I’ll open the Ancient Shi’s treasure room for godfather to choose. I’ll use the full force of the Ancient Shi to repay godfather for helping me ascend to the throne!!” The prince’s words were filled with determination and decisiveness.

Wang Lin held the jade box and silently pondered, but he didn’t put it away.

As Wang Lin silently pondered, the entire palace was quiet. Prince Ji Du was extremely nervous, and he wasn’t faking it — his heart was really nervous. He had already been very sincere and paid the price. He had even knelt down, hadn’t hesitated to recognize Wang Lin as his godfather, and had given a heavy gift only to get Wang Lin’s recognition and help.

He believed his uncle, who had died 10 years ago. What his uncle had told him before his death was imprinted in his heart.

“I can’t divinate who this person is, but if he is willing to help, you will become the Ancient Shi emperor. There is even a chance you can unite the three clans and become the real Ancient Emperor!!

“I cannot be wrong. This is a trace of the future I divinated at the price of my life!

“If he doesn’t help you, then… you won’t live more than 100 years…”Ji Du thought about his uncle. His uncle’s sad gaze as he gradually closed his eyes and released Ji Du’s hands.

“Godfather!!” Ji Du knelt on the ground and kowtowed at Wang Lin.

The banging sounds echoed inside the temple and broke the silence. His royal sister’s face turned pale. She felt that this matter was very important to her royal brother!

After a long time, as the banging sound echoed, Wang Lin’s words echoed.

“Give me a jade that will let me find you!”

Ji Du’s body trembled and joy filled his face. He quickly took out a jade and excitedly handed it to Wang Lin.

“If there is really a day when I’ll leave the Ancient Dao, you can then call me ‘godfather!’” Wang Lin decided that he couldn’t solely bet his entire future on the Ancient Dao. He was going to take this chance and leave a backup!

After he finished speaking, Wang Lin put away the jade box and the jade Ji Du had given him. He turned and stepped outside. His figure disappeared into the fog.

After Wang Lin left, Ji Du was soaked in sweat, but he was very excited and vigorously clenched his fist.

“Royal sister, with my understanding of the Ancient Dao Emperor, Godfather will certainly be uncomfortable. A powerful person like him is not someone a mere Ancient Dao Emperor can hold down. Godfather will definitely come and help me… He must!

The woman stood up and softly asked, “Is it worth it…”

Prince Ji Du laughed.

“It’s worth it! With his current strength, there is no need for him to go find Grand Empyrean Xuan Luo. This shows that Godfather cares about his relationships. Since I respect him and have taken him as my godfather, he will not harm me!”
