Chapter 193.1
The other elders watched with envy!
They had worked diligently in the Beggar Sect for decades, giving half their lives, and only then did they have the chance to learn a few moves of the Dog Beating Staff Technique or the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms from the old sect leader.
But now, after Zhou Dao and the other elders had made a single contribution, they had the opportunity to learn divine skills.
And they could even choose which divine skill to learn.
His Majesty was truly generous!
Their hearts warmed at the thought.
As long as they continued to serve His Majesty and made contributions, they too would have the chance to practice divine skills and become influential.
Lin Beifan saw the expressions of the other elders and secretly smiled.
As long as you are tempted, then dutifully serve me.
At that moment, Lin Beifan turned to look at a more low-key elder standing behind and, with a smile, said, Elder Lai, we meet again. Youve ultimately fallen into my hands, haha!
This person was Elder Lai Qing, who had once had a brief encounter with Lin Beifan.
Lin Beifan wanted to recruit him at that time, but he was firmly rejected.
However, he left a path for the Beggar Sects disciples, allowing them to come to Great Xia and live well.
The death of the Beggar Sect leader and the current changes in the Beggar Sect were inseparable from him.
Elder Lai Qing stepped forward, bowed with a bitter smile, and said, Your subordinate pays respects to Your Majesty! I never imagined that we would meet under such circumstances. Please forgive my past disrespect!
After leaving that day, he never thought he would have any further connection with Lin Beifan.
Later, when he learned that their Beggar Sect leader, Hong Qihai, had died at the hands of Lin Beifan, he was stunned. When he found out that Lin Beifan had already won over more than a dozen Beggar Sect elders and was preparing to annex the Beggar Sect, he was stunned again.
After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to pledge allegiance to Lin Beifan.
Firstly, he wanted to secure a future for the Beggar Sect.
With the leader dead and no Grandmaster to lead them, the Beggar Sect would surely become a second-rate force, prey to other sects.
Great Xia had a Grandmaster, and only by falling into the hands of Great Xia could the Beggar Sect maintain its status.
Moreover, Lin Beifan was a good master; his people lived well, so he would surely not mistreat the disciples of the Beggar Sect.
The Beggar Sect would be safer in his hands.
Secondly, he wanted to secure a future for himself.
After all, he was not young anymore, and he had more than a dozen family members; he couldnt let them live as beggars.
And even if he was willing, his family was not.
At this time, Lin Beifan extended an olive branch, offering them an unimaginable treatment, so naturally, he had to grasp it firmly.
Lin Beifan smiled and waved his hand, What youve said are trivial matters; Ive never taken them to heart!
Thank you for Your Majestys leniency! Elder Lai breathed a sigh of relief.
Since all the elders have arrived, lets discuss the grand plans for the development of the Beggar Sect! Lin Beifans expression turned serious.
The little witch Yaoyao couldnt stand it anymore and dragged Lin Beifan out of bed, speaking earnestly, Little foolish Emperor, how can you indulge in nightly revelries and neglect state affairs? Great Xia has just started to improve; you cannot fall into decay like this!
Lin Beifan said seriously, Yaoyao, you misunderstand. I am indeed toiling over state affairs!
Yaoyao, as if hearing something unbelievable, was completely dumbfounded, You are toiling over state affairs in bed?
Yes! Lin Beifan nodded earnestly.
Nonsense!
Yaoyao became angry, Who ever heard of someone toiling over state affairs while embracing beauties in bed? I, Yaoyao, have lived for nearly 20 years and this is the first time Ive seen such a brazen excuse presented so innocently!
Yaoyao, you dont understand!
Lin Beifan said with a bitter smile, Currently, the royal family has no heir, and the dynastys succession is in jeopardy. Therefore, the officials and common people are very anxious, hoping that I can produce a royal heir as soon as possible!
Is that really the case?
What else could it be?
Lin Beifan roared, Do you really think I, the Emperor, enjoy lying in bed all day? Do you really think I like to hold beauties in my arms and sing night after night? Do you really think I enjoy doing such things?
If it werent for the officials pressure and the comparison by the common people, why would I have ended up like this?
As the saying goes, the people are more important than the ruler, and their will must not be defied! What can I do? Im also in despair!
Yaoyao muttered, F*ck
She really wanted to punch someone!
At that moment, Lin Beifan suddenly grabbed Yaoyaos hand, his eyes brimming with tears, Yaoyao, only you can save me now!
Yaoyao was stunned again, How can I save you?
Lin Beifan whispered, Yaoyao, just by looking at your hips, I can tell youre a good child-bearer! If we have a son, the officials will have nothing to say, and I will be free!
Yaoyaos face turned red, and she bit her lip in embarrassment and anger, You damn foolish emperor, your desire to sleep with me is relentless, Ill strangle you to death!
Lin Beifan: Ow, ow, ow
After strangling Lin Beifan, Yaoyao stormed off angrily.
But after a moment, she turned back, slapping her forehead, Ah, I almost let you confuse me! Actually, I came here to discuss an important matter with you!
Lin Beifan sighed, Come back another day, I need to return to bed to deal with state affairs!
Yaoyao immediately grabbed Lin Beifans hand, Its serious! Recently, our Demon Sect noticed that many elders from the Beggar Sect were very active in Great Xia. Do you know why?
Lin Beifan certainly knew why, but he couldnt say it.
