Just when Lin Ze was grasping the layout and concentrating on preparing for Hu Hai to deal with the coming storm, a guard came over to report that there was someone outside who claimed to be from the Kunlun Taoist Palace and asked to see Lin Ze by name.
Hu Hai and Huang Banban both looked at Lin Ze with confusion. Only Chen Ping had a calm expression. As the registered disciple of the master of Kunlun Dao Palace, isn't it normal for his uncle to have fellow disciples come to join him?
Lin Ze was also full of doubts. Although he had some connections with the Kunlun Taoist Palace before, and the Taoist Palace took advantage of the previous "Taoist discussion", Lin Ze also benefited a lot from it, and he thought it was a
It's a fair deal, everyone gets what they need. Now, for some reason, they have come to the door. Could it be that a storm is coming and they are planning something?
However, the Kunlun Taoist Palace has always been aloof from other things. As far as Lin Ze knew, even when the Seven Kingdoms fought for hegemony in the past, there were only frustrated people who went up to the mountain to live in seclusion, but there were no Taoist palace disciples who came down from the mountain to serve as officials.
Lin Ze did not speculate too much about this and ordered his servants to bring the visitors from the Taoist Palace to the living room and serve them tea. He would finish explaining the matter and contact them first.
When Lin Ze arrived at the living room, there were two people standing in the hall, a man and a woman. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. They were in their twenties, but they had a detached temperament exuding them. When Lin Ze arrived,
, the two looked at each other, clasped their fists and saluted, "Dao Palace Jiang Yuesheng, Dao Palace Emperor Xue Ruyan has met Da Xian."
"Ahem!" Lin Ze's face froze. What the hell is Daxian? The old guy from the Dao Palace Palace revealed his secrets like this? Fortunately, he made it up, but his face didn't look strange at all.
The man from Erba Jing returned the greeting first, and then asked: "I wonder why you two came to see me?"
The two of them spoke together and said: "By the order of the Supreme Elder, come here and wait for the great sage to send you."
"Who is the Supreme Elder of your palace?" Lin Ze was full of doubts. Who is this Supreme Elder of the Dao Palace? It sounded like he had a high status, but Lin Ze clearly remembered that he had only met the Palace Master and the elders. Why did he send someone to this palace?
Someone coming?
Jiang Yuesheng explained: "The Supreme Elder is the great elder of the previous palace lord's era. His martial arts is at the master level. His status in the Tao Palace is comparable to that of the palace lord. He can order everyone below the palace lord."
After hearing this, Lin Ze silently sympathized with Shouzheng for three seconds. This was just like having an overlord. The palace owner probably did not go as well. Then he asked: "As far as I know, the Dao Palace has never cared about worldly affairs, but I don't know why.
Send two people to come to my side and take orders?"
Lin Ze did not doubt the identity of the two of them. Except for the people from the Dao Palace, no one would call him a great sage, which meant that he was thick-skinned, otherwise he would not dare to take the title.
Jiang Yuesheng immediately smiled and said, "Great sage, please listen to me slowly."
Lin Ze quickly said: "Stop it, just call me Lin Ze. It sounds harsh to say that you are a great sage or not a great sage."
Jiang Yuesheng was not annoyed and said with a smile: "Then let's call you Mr. Lin. After all, you are the reincarnation of the sages."
Lin Ze waved his hand: "That's up to you."
"The Supreme Elder knew about Young Master Lin and believed that the young master cannot be left without someone from the Dao Palace to look after him. Therefore, he ordered me and I to protect the young master personally so that he can safely resume his cultivation in his previous life and preserve the friendship between the young master and the Dao Palace.
"
Now Lin Ze didn't dare to accept it anymore, and said bluntly: "Your palace must also be investigating me. I am the personal guard of Master Da Qin, and I am protected by Master Hu Hai, but I don't need two more guards. I would like to thank you for this."
Please go back to your palace, the Supreme Elder, and please return here."
At this time, Di Xue Ruyan smiled like a blooming snow lotus, and his clear voice was like a lark: "Master, do you suspect that we have ulterior motives?"
Lin Ze really wanted to roll his eyes, don't you think it's worth it? I've encountered pie-in-the-sky situations several times in my previous life, and each time I paid a higher price.
Seeing Lin Ze's silence, Di Xue Ruyan continued: "Since the young master is suspicious, we won't show off. We will tell the truth to the young master. We hope that the young master will not take offense."
Lin Ze smiled brightly: "It's okay. If you have anything to do, just ask. If I can do it, I will do my best and show my friendship. If I can't, please don't make things difficult for me."
Di Xue Ruyan didn't care about Lin Ze's obviously evasive words, and said directly: "The elder Taishang heard about Young Master Lin from the palace master, so he curiously told the young master a divination, and the divination was very strange.
, even the Supreme Elder cannot understand it, probably because the young master is the reincarnation of a great sage and his fate is unpredictable."
"Then we speculated on the involvement between Mr. Lin and Tao Gong, and finally came to a result. One day, Mr. Lin will personally go to Tao Gong and drag Tao Gong into the quagmire of blood and light through his connection with Tao Gong. Although Tao Gong
It won’t perish, but many people will die.”
"The Supreme Elder suffered backlash and suffered internal injuries, but the result was not what he wanted, so he endured the internal injuries and continued to figure out how to avoid it. However, Mr. Lin recently had many people in the Dao Palace achieve enlightenment outside of their destiny.
The grace and cause and effect have been planted, and it is impossible to break it off easily."
Jiang Yuesheng answered: "So, the Supreme Elder sent the two of us to Mr. Lin's side. At the expense of the two of us, I only ask that Mr. Lin will be noble in the future and not involve the Dao Palace."
Lin Ze asked with a weird look on his face: "Can you two be compared with Dao Palace? Or are you so willing to sacrifice for Dao Palace?"
Jiang Yuesheng said confidently: "The two of us are the most outstanding disciples of the Taoist Palace in the past hundred years. We have reached the fifth level of martial arts in less than thirty years old. The Supreme Elder has said that without any accident, we should have 30% of the disciples."
There is a chance that those who advance to the level of Grandmaster will at least be strong in the sixth level of magical power, and the heirs of Taoism will definitely be the best among the same level, Mr. Lin, you can rest assured."
Di Xue Ruyan also said: "We were adopted by the Tao Palace since we were young. We have neither father nor mother. The Dao Palace is our home. We are willing to dedicate everything to the Dao Palace."
Lin Ze covered his forehead: "But I still have some doubts. I am just a third-grade minion. Any one of you can solve me, so why bother?"
Jiang Yuesheng smiled and said: "Young Master Lin is overly worried. Taoism emphasizes the naturalness of Taoism. So many elders have received your favor. If they attack you at will, the inner demons of those elders will breed, which will be detrimental to the Taoist palace."
Lin Ze nodded: "The Taoists are still so fair and upright in doing things, but you just tell me everything like this. Aren't you afraid that if I accept you, you will regret it in the future and be in trouble in the Taoist palace as usual?"
"The Supreme Elder had some expectations when he came. He knew that Mr. Lin was not a common man like that. He told us to tell the truth to show our sincerity if we encountered such a situation. Furthermore, the Supreme Elder believed that the Young Master was the reincarnation of a sage, and Taoist sages have always been reincarnated.
, they are all virtuous people, and they would never be so shameless."
Lin Ze secretly thought: He will still use words to block me, but unfortunately I am not the great sage you think. I can only promise not to harass you as much as possible in the future. If the situation is urgent, let it be another matter.
But with a smile on his face, he said: "Speaking of which, I am not an unkind person. If you two agree with the rules I have set, then you can stay."
This made the two of them stunned, and said with some disbelief: "Master Lin has agreed now? We should regard him as the leader, but we can only follow orders."
Lin Ze said angrily: "Why, am I so difficult to speak?"
Jiang Yuesheng said with a sarcastic smile: "Before leaving, the Supreme Elder told me that I must stay with Mr. Lin no matter what, even if I am shameless and stalk you, I thought Mr. Lin was not easy to talk to, but I didn't expect him to be so sensible.
"
Lin Ze's face darkened. Could it be that he looked like a villain? Or was he stupid and not happy to pick up two fifth-level martial artists with great potential for free? Before, he was just worried that the Tao Palace would take advantage of him, so he asked a few more questions. Now he asked clearly.
Just accept it.
As for the Dao Palace, if there are other plans, you have to give your own nod. Lin Ze is not the kind of pedantic person. If he is successful, he can help the world. If he is poor, he can only take care of himself. If it is detrimental to himself, he will not take into account others.
.
To sacrifice oneself for others, to cut one's flesh and feed it to eagles, is an act of a sage, and ordinary people only need to respect it, but there is no need to test the law with one's own body.
Lin Ze then led the two of them to meet Hu Hai and Huang Banban, and said that they would serve as his personal bodyguards, and asked his servants to take them to settle down in the Lin Mansion.
Huang Banban said with a sad face: "Lin Ze, do you believe them like this?"
Lin Ze said calmly: "I can guess a thing or two about the plan of the Taoist Palace Elder, and I will deal with it carefully. Eunuch Huang, don't worry. It would be a pity to let go of such a master with great potential."
Hu Hai said nonchalantly: "Huang Banban, if you are worried about Lin Ze, you might as well worry about whether those two people will be swallowed up by Lin Ze in one bite."
