Chapter 791: The Last Person

Translator: Lam_Editor: Hitesh_

To use Zhu You's last words, 'Every family has their own sets of issues.'

Lin Fan suddenly realized that these students of his were already walking further than him in life. While he was still being carefree and having no worries, these students of his had already started worrying over their families.

In a country somewhere…

Today was the ascension of a new Emperor, marking the first generation of this empire.

There were a hundred officials gathered around the throne.

Xiaoze and Liu Shuishui were donning on battle armors, with an expression full of satisfaction on their faces.

Xiaoze and Liu Shuishui had long been married together, and were just exploring the Xuanhuang World together. Because they grew stronger, they were eventually scouted by an Emperor who begged them for help relentlessly. Now that five years had passed and the dynasty was set up, both of them felt that it was about time for them to leave as well.

”Courtier Xiao, Courtier Liu... Receive your decrees!”

There was a middle aged man seated on the royal dragon throne. He gave off a noble air around him as that emperor's aura covered the entire throne.

”Courtier Xiao and Courtier Liu, because they have opened up the entire empire for Your Emperor here, they have laid down a remarkable amount of credit to their name. From this day forth, they shall be conferred as the Founding Marshalls of our empire, and will have control over the entire empire's army.”

The name of this Emperor was Yu. As such, he gave himself the title of Emperor Yu, and the country was called the Yu Country.

And now that the title was bestowed, all the civil and military officials were all shocked as well as envious over it.

Control over the empire's army! That was some remarkable authority bestowed upon them! They were literally beneath no one but the Emperor himself!

And the fact that Emperor Yu would hand over control over the entire army towards this couple was enough to show his trust towards the both of them.

Xiaoze and Liu Shuishui exchanged a single look and continued, ”Emperor Yu, now that your empire is built up, both of us man and wife do not want to hanker over fame and fortune. We only wish to leave silently and lead a life of mere commoners. Please grant us our wish, Emperor Yu.”

”My two dear courtiers, could it be that you're displeased over the rewards given by Your Majesty here? Your Majesty is more than willing to share all the fruits of our victory together with the both of you.” Emperor Yu continued.

For the Emperor Yu, the building up of his empire had a direct relationship with this couple.

If not for the both of them, Emperor Yu would have died countless times.

”Emperor Yu, back when you sought the help of the both of us, we had already made ourselves clear. Once your empire was built up, the both of us would leave. And now that the empire is ready and well, the both of us believe that it will definitely flourish and prosper under your leadership and guidance.”

”Emperor Yu, now that the war is over, the both of us would only wish to lead the life of common peasants.”

”But, should you require our assistance in the future, Emperor Yu, both of us will definitely never reject you.”

Xiaoze and Liu Shuishui both did not want to be embroiled in the affairs of a dynasty.

They knew the meaning of the saying, 'Great merits would make the king feel uneasy.'

As the saying went, 'The higher is one's position, the more they would be targeted.'

Even though Emperor Yu might be willing to confer them everything right now, they knew that given some time, it may probably bring forth more trouble than its worth, and probably even death.

”Since that's the case…” Emperor Yu sighed, expressing his disappointment.

”To think that at the end of the day, the both of you would be doing the best out of everyone.”

At this moment, Lin Fan floated in the voids gently.

Lin Fan had not expected that Xiaoze and Liu Shuishui would be doing the best out of all his disciples. In just the short span of a few years, they had managed to help someone build up an entire empire.

When this voice rang out, there was a commotion at the throne as everyone turned wary.

However, this wasn't the same case for Xiaoze and Liu Shuishui.

The both of them changed their expressions as they jerked their heads up into the void.

”T-teacher…!”

Xiaoze and Liu Shuishui had not expected that they would be able to see their teacher once more.

For the both of them, Lin Fan had an extremely large impact in their lives. This was something that they couldn't possibly forget over a couple of lifetimes.
