Chapter 158 Everyone is shocked

In the end, Lin You still rejected Qin Li's invitation.

It's not for any other reason, I just don't want to be involved in this struggle between right and wrong.

The reason why Qin Li took a fancy to him was simply because he saw his potential.

But in terms of strength, there are too many seventh-level, eighth-level, and even ninth-level lords who are stronger than him.

As Qin Li.

As long as he is willing, there will be no problem in recruiting a few strong people to work for him.

After all, no matter how badly he does, he will at least be the ruler of a kingdom in the future.

But Lin You is different.

He was a powerless ordinary lord who had just arrived less than two months ago. How could he fight against those high-level lords? So he chose to refuse the invitation.

fortunately.

Qin Li was more polite than he expected.

She wasn't upset by his rejection.

Instead, he personally sent him to the gate of the courtyard, with a faint smile on his face from beginning to end.

"Brother Lin, no matter what, what I said today will always count. As long as you are willing, the door of my palace will always be open to you. Please consider it."

"Yes, I will."

Lin You agreed casually.

Then he turned around and left under Qin Li's gaze, rushing towards the mission hall.

It was not until he walked away that the guard beside Qin Li whispered:

"Your Highness, I don't understand. He is just a sixth-rank lord. Why do you treat him with such courtesy?"

"Of course you don't understand." Qin Li put away his smile and his eyes became increasingly profound.

"My brother and sister have influence all over the empire, and they have many spies. Only a new lord like this can ensure safety."

"But he is only level six after all."

"What's wrong with the sixth level? Am I not also the sixth level?" Qin Li could not deny it. "And have you ever seen a lord who has just descended for three months and can get an S-level comprehensive evaluation?"

"S-rank? How is this possible!"

The guard's eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't help but look towards the place where Lin You disappeared.

If Lin You were here at this moment, he would definitely be extremely surprised.

In addition to his performance at the checkpoint yesterday, Qin Li could even find out the comprehensive assessment of his test. He really has a lot of connections.

But Qin Li had no idea that it took Lin You not three months to get here, but only one and a half months.

The other side.

Lin You left the courtyard and quickly returned to the main street where the mission hall was located.

After strolling around the street, he walked into the busy task hall and started browsing the task panel.

What surprised him was that this time there was another mission assigned by the empire.

[Mission: Enemy Hideout (Empire)]

[Requirement: If you find traces of the original evil realm lord near the front line, and he is plotting something bad, investigate and find his hideout, and report it to the empire.]

[Mission Difficulty: Medium]

[Task Reward: 1500 Honor Points]

A full fifteen thousand points reward.

It’s higher than the one that resisted the beast tide yesterday.

If Lin You guessed correctly.

The Yuanshajie hideout mentioned in the mission must be the culprit that attracted the ninth-level monsters and beast tide yesterday.

Even the Empire was unable to find them in a short period of time. It seems that the other party's ability to hide is still very impressive.

However, since the mission only said to find the other party and did not mention fighting, there was no need for him to hesitate and he accepted the mission directly.

What if I'm lucky enough to run into him? Anyway, there's no mission penalty, so I can just give up later.

Then he browsed through the panel for a while, accepted a commission from the lord to go to the Black Water Lake outside the city to collect seventh-level black water crocodile fins, and then left the hall and rushed out of the city.

But unexpectedly.

As soon as he came outside, a big man carrying a huge axe came towards him.

The big man was chatting and laughing with a few of his companions, but when he saw Lin You, he stopped immediately.

"Is it you?"

This person was Pei Yushan, whom Lin You had met yesterday.

I didn't expect to meet you so soon.

Lin You couldn't help but sigh that this world is really small.

But before he could speak, Pei Yushan chuckled and said in a teasing tone: "Isn't this the new guy who was with that liar Zhu Jun? What? Are you here to take on another mission today?"

When he spoke, he deliberately raised his voice to attract the attention of passers-by around him, and his voice was accompanied by a few chuckles from his companions.

"Old Pei, please don't talk nonsense. I'm still a newcomer and there are many things I don't understand yet."

"That's right. As a newbie, it's always a good thing to suffer a little at the beginning."

"From the looks of it, are you planning to go out on a mission? Be careful not to get killed by people from other realms."

"Hahaha"

The mocking words kept echoing in my ears.

Several people were talking to Lin You in the tone of a senior preaching.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

He did not take Lin You seriously.

Just think of him as a joke.

Pei Yushan's face also revealed a hint of arrogance and his eyes were full of disdain.

Gradually, more and more people were attracted and started pointing fingers at Lin You.

Lin You sighed helplessly. He really would run into these guys who stick to him like dog-skin plasters wherever he went.

I didn't bother to pay attention and just turned away.

"Mr. Lin, you are here!"

But at this moment, a shout interrupted them.

The crowd who were watching from afar, including Pei Yushan and others, were immediately attracted by the voice.

At a glance, I saw a man in armor rushing towards this side.

"Isn't that Zhou Yuanwei, the deputy commander of the guards beside the Third Prince? Why is he here?"

Some people in the crowd recognized the identity of the person who came and exclaimed in low voices.

Even Pei Yushan and his companions had their eyes narrowed and their faces filled with surprise.

Who is Zhou Yuanwei?

He was the personal attendant of the third prince Qin Li, who was responsible for all matters concerning Qin Li.

Even though he is only at the seventh level, he is one of Qin Li's most valued subordinates, and no one dares to provoke him easily.

Even a lord of the eighth or ninth rank would have to give him some face and not dare to neglect him.

How could such a person suddenly appear in the mission hall?

Pei Yushan really couldn't understand.

But how could he easily miss such a good opportunity to curry favor with the Third Prince? He immediately left Lin You behind and rushed forward.

"Greetings, Commander Zhou. I wonder what brings you here?" Pei Yushan asked respectfully.

"Who are you?"

Zhou Yuanwei stopped and looked at the people in front of him in confusion.

Pei Yushan was even more respectful when he heard this: "I forgot to introduce myself. I am Pei Yushan, the lord of the Hongyun Kingdom. Nice to meet Commander Zhou."

"Oh, so it's from the Kingdom of Good Luck."

Zhou Yuanwei suddenly realized.

The Kingdom of Hongyun is one of the subordinate kingdoms of the Sky Empire.

But even so, he just looked at Pei Yushan twice more and ignored him. Instead, he quickly walked to the stairs under the curious gaze of everyone.

Then, something happened that surprised everyone.

"Mr. Lin, we meet again."

As he spoke, Zhou Yuanwei bowed slightly to Lin You.

That extremely polite look immediately made everyone's jaw drop and their eyes widen.

Zhou Yuanwei, he was so polite to a new lord, even bowing in front of so many people!

What was going on? Wasn't he a newcomer to the main city? Why was Zhou Yuanwei so polite to him? Everyone was stunned.

Not to mention Pei Yushan and the others, they all seemed to be under a spell, standing there in a daze, shocked to the extreme!
