The Adventures Of The Young Master

"I can't say for sure. But, I felt some aura of His Excellency in the past." Master Lin responded. She was still too young by the time she met Han Li and couldn't be so certain. Furthermore, she was in a distance away from him that time, "Even if that person is not him, he should be related to him in any way."

The palace master had no reason to not believe her. After all, Master Lin had the best senses of all of them here present aside from the slumbering ancestor below, "Then we really have to take care of him from now on. Who knows? He might be even in the mood to help us in this predicament."

"As far as I know, His Excellency has already helped us more than what we deserve." An elder sighed, "Do you think he's still willing to do so?"

After all, they knew a bit of his eccentric attitude and he didn't want people relying on him too much.

Palace Master Dina took a deep breath after hearing this. The elder got a point. Even if that man is willing, he might only help them a little under the reason of they already helped them too much, "Nevertheless, even a little help from him will do more than we can do combined together."

The palace master had a grounding point. That man's little help was much worthier than all the help they could muster.

"But the question is, who will talk to him?" Another elder posed a question.

It was a difficult question. After all, not everyone was qualified to talk to him. One wrong move and it might go the wrong way.

Everyone was thinking hard when Master Lin suggested, "I guess my Luyi will do that."

Everyone changed expression as they looked at Master Lin.

Are you actually for real? You wanted that disciple of yours who act rogue like you talk to the guest? If this was not madness, then nothing was enough to be one!

"Elder Lin, we have to think this through. We cannot afford to offend that person." Palace Master Dina shook her head, "I don't mean to underestimate your disciple, but I heard that she already offended the guest by actually raising a knife against him. Do you think he will think highly of us if we send Luyi there? Unless we're trying to make a joke out of ourselves, we cannot do it."

Everyone agreed with the palace master. What if Luyi couldn't read between the lines and offend the other party again? It would be a total disaster, the. They might bleed regret later on.

But. Elder Lin disagreed with them, "She didn't offend him. As a matter of fact, I saw a hint of interest in that man's eyes when he looked at Luyi. As if he was looking at a rough gem that just needed to be polished to shine."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "You know that nothing can escape my eyes. It is my ability and out of all us here, I have the best eyesight. So why don't you trust my Luyi just this once?"

Elder Lin was serious. It was rare for her to be this serious. Most of the time, she spent it drinking until drunk and causing trouble in towns. The days she didn't cause trouble in all these years could only amount to handful.

The other elders found it to refute this. A serious Weixiao Lin was a very rare sight even for them. They looked at the palace master. The decision lied on the palace master's hands.

"I can give you my trust, Elder Lin." The palace master answered after a long pondering, "But you have to assure me something. What will you do if this plan of yours failed? What can you compensate?"

In order for a trust to be established, a compensation should be present in case of failure. It acted as an insurance that the sect wouldn't lose in this term. At the very least, they should gain something equivalent to what might get lost.

"If I fail, I will focus in cultivation and not drink even once again. I will ban liquor and wine in my system for the rest of my life." Elder Lin said, "This is enough compensation, right?"

Everyone exchanged glances. Elder Lin was even willing to sacrifice her habits to establish the trust. Take note, not even the ancient ancestor could make her change her ways despite being reprimanded for countless times.

All in all, it wasn't a bad thing. Elder Lin had the most talent in all Evermoon Palace and if she nurtured it, she would be a pillar in the near future.

The long term wasn't making the sect lose out.

"Then go and talk to Luyi." What more could she say when Weixiao Lin was this serious? The palace master sighed and warned, "Don't make your disciple cross the line."

Elder Lin bowed and said, "Thank you, Palace Master."

After that, she left to talk to her disciple.

"Do you think it's the right decision?" An elder was worried. What was the right decision? What was the wrong? They couldn't distinguish it.

"We will see it." Palace Master Dina looked at the vacant seat not far away from her. It remained as occupied, but memories still lingered with her.

"Luyi, I have bought this chance for you. It's now your time to shine and show your fellow sisters that you are better than them." Elder Lin said with a grave tone, "Don't you ever fail! I bet my drinking habits here so don't you ever ever fail and embarrass me!"

Luyi felt crying. In fact, tears almost ran down her face. Why would this good master of her push down the responsibility onto her when she could do it herself? This master of hers wanted her to enter the lion's den?

This was crazy that she really wanted to cry rivers and oceans. She felt like she's going to commit suicide at this rate.
