The news of Zhao Xin's defeat to Li Lin spread like wildfire. Within just over ten minutes, the entire Dawn Castle was shocked.

As the Steward of Germany who had served King Jarvan III for 13 years without a single defeat, he actually lost to a young foreigner?

This was a little hard to accept for many guards who admired Zhao Xin, but they could do nothing about it.

There were dozens of guards watching the battle at the time, and it was common knowledge that Zhao Xin personally admitted that he was defeated by Li Lin.

Especially Li Lin's extraordinary speed, the naked eye can only catch his afterimage, he is simply a "humanoid monster"!

If he were to be placed on the battlefield as an enemy, even if a company of a hundred Fearless Vanguards were to be dispatched, they probably wouldn't be able to defeat him...

At this time, many guards were talking about it, and it even reached the ears of Jarvan IV and the king who had just woken up, and they immediately summoned the two.

This disrupted Li Lin's plan to talk to Morgana about her sister Kayle and how she would announce her return to the public in a few days.

Just before arriving at the Hall of Valor, Li Lin noticed something unnatural on Zhao Xin's tense face and realized that he might have bruises and scrapes from sparring with him.

He raised his right hand, and the cuff of his clothes changed, forming a smaller container bottle filled with purple liquid.

"Master Steward, please drink this."

Zhao Xin turned his head to look at the container in Li Lin's palm, looking a little confused. "What is this?"

"The Glimmer Potion can quickly heal your injuries, just like the Life Potion in our hometown."

He nodded without any doubt, took the potion and drank it all, then returned the bottle to Li Lin and saw it merge into his clothes again.

"Your clothes are really convenient."

"Actually, I can build you a set of armor similar to mine."

"Hmm..." Zhao Xin murmured softly for a moment, but his face showed excitement. "I heard that Hextech is very expensive and unpopular in Piltover. If it's your technology, it must have cost a lot of money, right?"

As the royal steward and the king's personal bodyguard, Zhao Xin's salary is not low. In addition, he doesn't have much to spend money on, so he has saved a lot of money over the past ten years.

However, if he wanted to buy what Li Lin called "nano armor", he was not sure if he had enough money.

Li Lin saw through his thoughts and couldn't help but laugh: "Since I brought it up, I will definitely provide it to you for free. You don't have to spend any money."

Zhao Xin shook his head. "While I believe in your good intentions, I also know there's no such thing as a free lunch..."

"But I like to entertain people for free, especially my friends."

“…”

Zhao Xin stared into Li Lin's sincere eyes and was silent for a moment.

With years of mingling among the nobles and following the king to hone his ability to judge people, he could vaguely guess that Li Lin definitely had his own purpose in coming to Demacia.

However, as long as it is not a matter related to the safety of His Majesty the King, he does not want to care about anything else.

Zhao Xin realized that the pain in his body had subsided at some point, and he looked at Li Lin in surprise. "Your potion is even more miraculous than the elders' life potions."

Li Lin simply smiled and nodded, then asked another question: "You've been away from the Land of the First Birth for almost twenty years. Have you ever thought about going back?"

A hint of nostalgia crossed Zhao Xin's face. He didn't answer the question directly, but instead asked, "What about you? You've been in Piltover for two years. Now that the war is over, you haven't returned, have you?"

Li Lin was not too surprised that Zhao Xin knew his life experience. Jarvan IV would definitely tell them about his origins.

If he didn't know, Li Lin would be surprised.

"There is no one or anything left on that land that I miss."

Zhao Xin understood what Li Lin was referring to. "Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned that."

"It doesn't matter, it's in the past." Li Lin smiled, "I have found a new home now."

"Well, I'm actually the same as you."

Zhao Xin sighed, his tense face replaced by sadness, but then filled with hope.

"My parents died young, and I grew up with the village elders... but after I was captured and brought to Noxus, I had almost nothing. It was His Majesty the King who helped me regain the meaning of survival.

"I have long since lost my peace. Defending King Jarvan III is my only wish in this life... I would rather die in battle with honor than live the rest of my life in regret."

Li Lin could understand Zhao Xin. After struggling in blood and death for several years like him, no matter how determined he was, if he suddenly lost the motivation to move forward, he would become worried about gains and losses and would never have peace in his life.

Fortunately, Jarvan III gave him a chance and a new goal, which created a brand new Xin Zhao - the Seneschal of Debonair.

"If that's the case..." Li Lin's tone suddenly became serious, "Manager Zhao, I have something I must remind you of."

"Hmm?" Zhao Xin turned around and met Li Lin's serious gaze.

For some reason, he suddenly felt an inexplicable excitement in his heart.

"No matter what, you must stay by His Majesty's side, even if it means going against his orders."

"I will never disobey your majesty's orders."

Zhao Xin frowned, not understanding why he suddenly said that.

"I'm talking about special circumstances." Li Lin didn't explain too much. "By then, you should be able to judge what you should do... Oh, here we are."

As they were talking, they had already arrived at the Hall of Valor.

Zhao Xin had doubts in his mind, but since he was going to meet the king, he quickly changed his mindset.
