Lin Lee glanced at the emperor talking so casually; he raised his brow and then stood up and then replied with a smile.
"I thought you would be a majestic and cold emperor; you are just an amiable old man."
The emperor was surprised hearing his words; the guards and eunuchs behind him were also shocked; their hearts trembled hearing Lin Lee's words, but they didn't dare to say anything.
All of them knew Lin Lee is master of the second path; despite his age, no one dares to underestimate him.
"Ha ha ha ha, you are the first one who called me amiable old man, fellow Yi; anyway, I am indeed a little old."
The emperor laughed loudly, replied while rubbing his beard, and then walked toward the main couch in the guest hall and sat down, gesturing at the couch behind Lin Lee, saying, "Please sit down; I think our next conversation will be interesting."
Lin Lee nodded and sat down on the couch, then the emperor waved his hand toward the guards and the servants; all of them saluted and then left the hall, leaving them both alone behind.
Lin Lee glanced at their back and then turned and glanced at the emperor and said thoughtfully,
"It seems someone reported to you about me; if I guess, then it must be the Li family."
The emperor nodded while pouring the fruit drink in the glass and then passed it to him, casually saying, "You are right, fellow Yi; if you want, I can deal with the Li family for you. The Tang and Yuan families are enough to manage the empire right now."
Lin Lee shook his head and said, "There is no need to; it's just a small family; they are no threat to me." Enjoy new adventures from empire
The Emperor raised his brow in surprise, looking at him observing his behaviors, 'It seems he isn't a narrow-minded person, just a little carefree and overconfident; it's good such people are understanding and easy to convince.'
"Well, if that's what you want, then it's fine. I will leave them alone for a while. Don't worry; I will assign guards to the Yuan mansion in the forest. No one will be able to harm your family." The emperor then nodded and replied with a smile,
Lin Lee nodded and then asked curiously, "Can you tell me about the purpose of your invitation?"
The emperor's smile disappeared, and then his expression became a little serious. After a little silence, he straightened up and requested solemnly,
"I want fellow Yi to represent our empire in the coming Dao sect examination,"
The emperor spoke and then glanced at the calm expression of Lin Lee with an anticipatory gaze.
Lin Lee nodded with a smile in return and then started talking about other things, and then he followed the emperor to the banquet hall.
Lin Lee glanced at the royal table filled with different varieties of dishes; there is no empty place on the table.
He glanced at the table speechlessly and then glanced at the emperor and said, "I am only one person. Who will eat all this stuff?"
"Ha ha ha, fellow Yi, don't worry; you are now a royal guest. We can't leave our guest with an empty stomach." The emperor laughed and spoke and then gestured toward the right side chair near the main chair.
"Please take the seat, fellow Yi; cold meal doesn't taste good." The emperor spoke and then walked toward the main seat and sat down. Lin Lee nodded and sat down, then started eating the meal.
After eating the banquet, the emperor grabbed a small golden item from his sleeves and passed it toward Lin Lee with both hands and said, "Fellow Yi, this is a gift for you. It is one of the rare items in our empire inventory; it's golden soul jade, which can protect the soul and enhance the mood."
Lin Lee raised his brow, grabbed the golden jade, and then nodded, saying, "Thank you for the gift; the soul-based items are indeed rare treasures."
The emperor nodded with a happy smile on his face and then said, "Well, I am happy you like it."
Lin Lee nodded and then asked thoughtfully, "When will we leave for the dao sect?"
"You can rest for a while in the palace; we will depart soon. I have already informed the traveling organization to pick us up; the flying beast will arrive at any moment. When they arrive, I will inform you." The emperor replied with a smile and then gestured at the servant standing behind them,
The servant hurriedly bowed and appeared beside Lin Lee and spoke respectfully, "Please, Master Yi, follow me."
Lin Lee nodded and then glanced at the emperor, "Thank you for the meal; it was good."
After speaking, he left with the servant toward the guest room in the palace; the emperor glanced at his back with flickering eyes.
'This guy is raised quite well; while other talented people are always filled with pride and domineering, it was a good idea to approach him with kindness.' The emperor thought to himself, his eyes flickered, and then he remembered something; his expression sank.
"Damn, if my bastards were half as good as Master Yi, then our empire wouldn't be so useless compared to other surrounding empires in ranking; all of them are useless sons of bitches."
He murmured curses angrily with a red face and frowning brows, recalling his three sons.
