Chapter 144.1

Chapter 144.1

Lin Beifan turned his head to look at the three peculiar individuals before him.

They were the three Innate masters that Yuan Tiangang had brought in: the Heng Ha Generals and the Deadly Scholar.

Although, thanks to Yuan Tiangangs efforts, they did not make any demands and were willing to serve Great Xia, Lin Beifan felt he needed to show his appreciation.

Welcome, the three of you! Your arrival is like adding wings to a tiger for me!

Lin Beifan wore a smile on his face, I dont know what you desire, but feel free to make your requests. As long as it is within my power, I will do my best to satisfy them!

Looking at the burly figures of the two generals, he said, Lets start with you two!

The two exchanged glances, and one of them spoke in a buzzing voice, My brother and I dont have any special requests. Our greatest hobby is eating meat and drinking wine, and we can eat a lot! Sometimes, even a whole cow isnt enough to fill our stomachs! So, as long as you let us eat our fill and drink to our hearts content, that will be enough for us!

Lin Beifan nodded and said with a smile, Thats no problem at all! As long as it doesnt affect state affairs, you can eat as much meat and drink as much wine as you want. I will grant you this!

Additionally, theres one more thing!

The other one spoke up, Neither of us has ever been much for reading. Just the sight of words gives us a headache, so please dont ask us to take up official posts or lead troops into battle! Aside from fighting, please dont call on us for anything else. We thank you for this!

Lin Beifan laughed, Thats not a problem either! Your requests are quite simple, and I will satisfy all of them!

The two looked at each other, then bowed to Lin Beifan, We thank Your Majesty!

This indicates that the two of them acknowledged Lin Beifan.

Lin Beifan turned his head to look at the other person: And you, the Deadly Scholar?

The Deadly Scholar was dressed in rather flamboyant scholars attire, even his hat was adorned with two bright flowers, and he held another in his hand.

As he gently tore at the petals, he spoke in a soft and delicate voice.

Your Majesty, this question is really putting me on the spot. I dont know what I want! It was Yuan Tiangang who sent me here. He said you are the Sovereign Star, the future ruler of the world. Working for you would yield tremendous benefits! Hes very accurate in judging people, so I came! After all, who you work for doesnt change the work, right?

Lin Beifan nodded: He is indeed very accurate in judging people!

The deadly scholar then added: However, I do have one small request!

Lin Beifan said, Speak!

You can ask me to kill, but Ill pass on charging into battle. Its too crude, too barbaric, and it really doesnt suit my image. Please, Your Majesty, try to understand! the Deadly Scholar speaks with disdain at the thought of charging into a battle.

Lin Beifan couldnt help but laugh: Thats no problem! I will certainly entrust you with the elegant tasks of assassination!

Thank you, Your Majesty! the Deadly Scholar bowed with his hands clasped together.

With that, the three of them completely pledged their allegiance to Lin Beifan.

Ding! Player national power has increased in strength, so your power has grown accordingly. You are rewarded with the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds!

The Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds is a top-notch sonic martial art, divided into eight tones: sticky, kill, snatch, absorb, pull, drag, spin, and hammer! Formless and intangible, those who hear the eight sounds will have their hearts pierced and their veins shattered! If used in conjunction with the Heavenly Demon Zither, its power is even more astonishing!

Lin Beifan quickly absorbed this martial art.

This was his first encounter with sonic martial arts, and it was the incredibly powerful Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds.

Your Majestys desire to win over a Grandmaster to preside over the dynasty is understandable.

However, Yuan Tiangang found himself in a difficult position: Your Majesty, although your humble servant has a wide network of acquaintances, I do not know a single Grandmaster-level expert! The reason is that they are too few in number, and like dragons, they show their heads but not their tails, so Your Majesty

Lin Beifans gaze darkened: Its alright, I understand!

He knew the task was difficult, but he always held out a glimmer of hope when asking, just in case it succeeded.

Your Majesty, why bother looking far and wide when the answer is close at hand?

What do you mean? Lin Beifan turned his head to look.

Yuan Tiangang pointed to the Sword Elder standing beside Lin Beifan and said with a smile: The Sword Elder has practiced martial arts for a hundred years, his skills are profound and in harmony with the natural world, and his strength has long reached the pinnacle of Imperial Qi. He is only one step away from becoming a Grandmaster! In a few years, he will be able to take that crucial step and become a true Grandmaster-level powerhouse!

The elder swordsman, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, was visibly moved. Are you saying that I, an old man, could break through to become a Grandmaster?

Yuan Tiangang smiled and said, Originally, there was no hope, for his potential had been exhausted! But ever since he started following His Majesty, his fate has changed. Indeed, there is now a chance for him to break through to Grandmaster level! If Im not mistaken, it could happen as quickly as a year and a half, or at most within three to five years, he will reach that long-desired realm!

For a moment, the Heng and Ha generals and Deadly Scholar looked over with envy.

Yuan Tiangang is very accurate in his assessments of people. If he says he can break through, then he definitely will!

How amazing it would be if I could break through to become a Grandmaster!

Let me offer my congratulations in advance to you, the future Grandmaster senior!

Everyone raised their glasses in a toast.

The Sword Elder was greatly pleased upon hearing this and said, Good! Thank you for your auspicious words! If this old man truly makes a breakthrough, Ill treat you all to a drink!

He immediately picked up his cup and returned the toast.

After finishing this cup of wine, calmness quickly returned.

However, Lin Beifan quietly sighed. Whether it would take a quick year and a half or a slow three to five years, it was about the same as his prediction.

It indeed seemed fast enough, but for him, it was still excruciatingly slow.

After all, it had only been a year and a half since he had crossed over to the present, yet he had already developed Great Xia from a small kingdom into an almost dynasty.

He couldnt bear to wait another year and a half to elevate the nation to a full-fledged dynasty.

At this moment, Yuan Tiangang seemed to see through Lin Beifans thoughts and said with a smile, Your Majesty need not worry, for you are the Sovereign Star, blessed by the heavens! The event you are looking forward to will soon come!

Lets hope your auspicious words come true, I toast to you!
