Chapter 771 The trajectory of life (1)

The night is getting darker.

After dark, the palace is completely silent except for the guards patrolling back and forth.

Luo Ji, who was usually very busy with government affairs, would have gone to bed long ago by this time.

However, today is an exception.

Wearing casual clothes, he walked slowly in the palace.

Go through the small courtyard.

As the distance to the martial arts arena gets closer and closer.

A sound of sound gradually penetrated Luo Ji's ears.

After walking in, I saw a figure practicing swinging a sword over and over again in the empty martial arts arena.

Who else could it be besides Wang Kai?

According to Zhou Cang, ever since he was restrained by one of his moves that day.

Wang Kai, who realizes that his strength is insufficient, will practice for another three hours on top of his original daily training after finishing his guard work every day.

What is this concept?

To put it simply, he has to sleep less than three hours a day!

After this long-term sleep-deprived fatigue state lasted for nearly a month, Wang Kai's mind and body were obviously a little too much.

Looking at Wang Kai sweating profusely in the martial arts arena, Luo Ji pursed his lips.

Wang Kai's bravery level only has three stars.

In other words, his strength has almost reached its limit.

Even if I continue to practice like this, I won't be able to make any obvious breakthroughs.

It will only wear down his body and spirit.

But looking at this loyal guard looking like this.

Ask Luo Ji to tell him, 'Everything you are doing now is in vain. Your talent is limited and it is impossible to improve your strength. Even in a few years, as you get older, your strength will regress.'

How could he say this?

Taking a long breath, Luo Ji stepped forward and walked into the martial arts arena.

When Wang Kai heard the commotion, his nerves became obviously tense.

"Who is there?!"

After an angry shout, Wang Kai, who saw the face of the visitor clearly, was shocked and turned pale.

"In my humble position, I didn't know His Majesty was coming and bumped into Your Majesty. I still apologize to Your Majesty!"

Looking at Wang Kai who looked frightened, Luo Ji was silent for two seconds.

Then he raised his hand...

"Okay, let's get up and change into dry clothes to save yourself from getting sick."

Winter nights are very cold.

Wang Kai was sweating profusely, and he might have contracted the cold if he wasn't careful.

In response to this, Wang Kai quickly ran back to the dormitory of their escort team.

After simply wiping the sweat stains on my body.

Not daring to keep Luo Ji waiting any longer, he quickly put on some clothes and ran out again.

Luo Ji walked slowly in the courtyard of the palace.

Wang Kai followed obediently.

Luo Ji didn't speak, and he didn't speak either.

Ten minutes passed like this.

Luo Ji, who was walking in front, paused slightly and spoke unhurriedly...

"Wang Kai, I remember you joined the escort team when you were eighteen years old. It's been eight or nine years now, right?"

After hearing this, Wang Kai nodded quickly after being stunned for a moment.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Luo Ji felt a little sad.

Ten years is not a short time.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Ji spoke again...

"Wang Kai, do you know that everyone has his own talent, and talent is limited for most people?"

Hearing this, Wang Kai, who was standing there, trembled in his heart.

He opened his mouth a few times, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, not a word was uttered.

He just stood there.

Through the falling moonlight, Luo Ji could vaguely see the perseverance and stubbornness on Wang Kai's face.

After a long time, Luo Ji sighed.

As if defeated by Wang Kai's perseverance and stubbornness, he took out an exquisite jade box from his arms.

"Wang Kai, I can give you a chance. What is contained in this jade box is a pill that I got by accident, called the Marrow Cleansing Pill."

"This elixir can change a person's physique. It may become better, but of course, it may also become worse. If you want it, I will give you this elixir to take."

The pill that Luo Ji said could change a person's physique was really unbelievable to Wang Kai.

However, Your Majesty has no need to lie to him.

Therefore, this elixir must be real.

For a moment, Wang Kai's eyes looked at the jade box with some obvious heat.

But then he seemed to think of something, and the expression on his face couldn't help but bring out a bit of loneliness.

In his opinion, such precious elixirs should be taken by Luo Ji himself, why should they be wasted on his little bodyguard?

Watching Wang Kai's expression change.

He must have guessed what the other person was thinking.

Luo Ji spoke again...

"Don't think too much, this pill is useless to me, so you just need to answer me whether you want it or not."

After hearing this, Wang Kai thought about it later.

Their majesties are talented in both civil and military affairs, and have single-handedly created a huge civilization of all realms, which is enough to prove their extraordinary abilities.

Why would we need such a pill?

With this thought in mind, after hesitating for a while, Wang Kai took a deep breath and shouted...

"If you dare to humble yourself, please give me the elixir!"

Luo Ji chuckled after hearing this.

"Before I give you this elixir, let me remind you that most of the people in this world are ordinary people, and if you want to be one of those few people, the price you have to pay may be much greater than you think.

.”

"If you choose not to take this elixir and continue to be an ordinary guard, then with luck, you will be able to retreat to the second line in ten or twenty years, and then I will give you the position of instructor."

"This job is enough for you to have enough food and clothing, get married, have children, and live the rest of your life happily."

"This is the life you were supposed to live, and it's pretty good."

Having said this, Luo Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

"And if you want to be one of those few people, then the greater your ability, the greater your responsibility. I will not allow you to die casually."

"What awaits you in the future may be a long period of torture, hundreds or even thousands of years, until your wife, children, and colleagues have passed away, but you are still alive..."

"This loneliness is not as easy as it sounds. Are you mentally prepared?"

Luo Ji's words were not particularly easy to understand for Wang Kai.

But there was one thing he figured out.

That is once you take this pill.

You may embark on a completely different life trajectory than you do now.

His Majesty told him that if he continues on his current life path, he can be very happy and fulfilled, which is not a bad thing.

But if he takes another life path, although he can become stronger, his life after becoming stronger may not make him feel happy. What awaits him ahead may also be pain.

However, when faced with this choice, Wang Kai unexpectedly did not hesitate for too long.

Probably from the beginning, he knew what he wanted...

"This is a humble position, and I am willing to follow His Majesty until the end!"
