Chapter 279

Lin Hao knew that it was not advisable to play smart in front of someone like Ming Xin Zhenren, so he admitted directly: "I saw the list posted and thought of you."

"Want to expose me and earn a reward?" Master Mingxin smiled.

"Sir, you're joking."

Master Mingxin took a sip of tea and said, "Then I just can't figure it out."

Lin Hao half-closed his eyes, his gaze fixed on the white porcelain teacup filled with emerald tea. His voice was as light as snowflakes. "In the dream, the master finally supported the current emperor to become the emperor."

"Nonsense!" The always calm Master Mingxin suddenly became furious and slammed the teacup heavily on the table.

He was really a little angry, staring at Lin Hao with burning eyes: "Little girl, you are so smart to find a new way to confuse me."

Lin Hao's eyes were bright and sincere. "I am a dull student and I dare not deceive the teacher. I just told the truth about what I saw in my dream."

"What do you mean by student and teacher?" Master Mingxin puffed his beard. "Don't try to establish a relationship."

"Then..." Lin Hao pursed his lips, "Should I call you Mr.?"

Master Mingxin resisted the urge to walk away and just hummed coldly.

"Sir, you have a broad mind and are incredibly wise. I, a junior, don't need to interfere. You know exactly what's best for the people of the Great Zhou."

Ming Xin Zhenren smiled and said: "Little girl, you should understand that being the best does not necessarily mean you will be chosen."

"I heard that you assisted the old emperor because of Taizu's entrustment."

Master Mingxin did not respond.

Lin Hao was not discouraged and asked softly, "I wonder if Taizu entrusted you with the old emperor or the country?"

Master Mingxin glanced at her and said calmly, "Of course it's both."

Lin Hao asked again: "Then which is more important?"

Master Mingxin fell silent.

If we speak the truth, the country is naturally the most important thing.

"Besides the late emperor's trust, sir, there is a third concern in your heart, which is the common people."

There was a slight change in Master Mingxin's eyes.

He didn't know why the little girl was so sure, but he couldn't deny that she was right.

Could it be that she could see into people's hearts? Or, were there really such bizarre dreams...

When one reaches the level of a Mingxin Zhenren, he will not blindly deny mysterious things. In fact, the more he learns, the more he realizes the mystery of the world.

"Sir, in the hearts of the people, who is more important, the old emperor or the current emperor?"

After asking three questions in a row, Master Mingxin looked at Lin Hao with increasingly serious eyes.

"What do you think, little girl?" asked Master Mingxin.

Lin Haowei raised his chin and said without hesitation, "For me, peace and stability, and not being bullied by foreign races, are the most important."

The implication is that it makes no difference to the people who is the emperor; the key lies in who can make the people live a good life.

Master Mingxin was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "Little girl, if even one word of what you said gets out, it would be treasonous."

Lin Hao smiled and said, "If I were afraid of these things, I wouldn't have met you this time."

Master Mingxin fell silent again.

Lin Hao picked up the teapot and added tea for him.

The fragrance of tea is lingering and refreshing.

Lin Hao looked into those deep and wise eyes and said, "Sir, you know that the old emperor was not a wise ruler."

"Nonsense!" Master Mingxin blew his beard again.

The girl smiled and said, "Yes, I'm talking nonsense."

"You little girl—" Master Mingxin glared at him, but eventually his momentum faded and he felt bitter in his heart.

The facts are there and will not change no matter how you deny or cover them up.

Just like the hesitation in his heart, no matter how he denied or concealed it, he could not deceive himself.

Finally, he asked, "Do you know why they are looking for me?"

Lin Hao nodded: "I know. I want to learn from you how to break the formation and put an end to the internal chaos in the shortest possible time."

"How did you know?" Master Mingxin narrowed his eyes, feeling puzzled.

Although this little girl is quite famous in the capital, she is just a girl in the boudoir after all. How could she know such things?

"Did you know this in a dream too?" Master Mingxin joked.

"No, it was General Cheng who told me."

Master Mingxin's hand holding the teacup shook and he almost spilled the tea.

Is it possible that the commander of Jinlin Guard is so unreliable?

Lin Hao said with a smile: "I told him that the person in the portrait looked familiar to me, so I asked him."

Zhenren Mingxin: I suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for General Cheng.

"So the purpose of your bringing me in was to persuade me to reveal my identity to the current emperor."

"no."

This time, Master Mingxin was really stunned: "No?"

Lin Hao looked at Master Mingxin and said frankly, "Sir, your identity is special. If you rashly reveal your identity, the Holy Spirit's mind is unpredictable and you might be in danger."

Master Mingxin's eyes flickered slightly, and his tone changed slightly: "Then what is your purpose in seeing me?"

Lin Hao's eyebrows curved, his eyes filled with a sincere smile: "Sir, would you please teach me how to break the formation?"

She already had some basic knowledge, and with the help of a teacher, she thought she could give it a try.

“Nonsense!”

Lin Hao stared at Master Mingxin without saying a word.

Master Mingxin frowned, "You know, that formation was set up by me personally, and it has countless variations. Let alone whether you can master it in a short period of time, even if you do learn it, how can you convince the emperor to trust you and entrust you with such an important task?"

Lin Hao had naturally considered this and said without hesitation, "If we can't find you, my Lord, the Emperor will definitely recruit others who understand formations. In a desperate situation, he might be willing to let me try."

"Have you thought about how to explain it?"

The fact that a young girl could break the formation was not amazing, but terrifying, and even associated with ghosts and gods.

"Sir, you don't know. I've been speechless since birth, unlike most people. If you ask why, I'll say that when I was young, I met an old immortal who taught me the method of breaking formations. He said that the day I learned it would be the day I could speak. Now that the Heavenly Family is calling for someone proficient in formations, I want to give it a try, so I can do my part."

When she spoke in a mute state, rumors were already flying around and it was shrouded in mystery, so adding this to the mix made sense.

"You are very eloquent." Master Mingxin shook his head slightly.

This statement might temporarily give the little girl the opportunity to break the formation, but in the long run, it will do her no good.

Even if the current emperor believes it, he will still be wary of such mysterious things in the future.

"What are you trying to achieve by doing this?"

In today's world, marrying into a wealthy family is considered the greatest success for a woman. This girl is already the Crown Prince's consort and will be the future Princess Royal. She is very proud and happy in her life. Why would she do such a thankless task?

Lin Hao straightened his back slightly, but his tone was natural and casual: "I just want peace and stability, and not be bullied by foreigners."

Master Mingxin suddenly fell silent.

Seeing Master Mingxin like this, Lin Hao felt more confident in persuading his teacher. He smiled and asked, "Would you be willing to teach me?"

Master Mingxin silently looked at the girl who was waiting for a reply with a smile, and after a long while he spat out two words: "No."
