The Human Emperor (1-200)

C67: Wang Chong Accepts a Disciple?

No one was willing to remain as a subordinate.

No one would reject a promotion and huge stipends.

Uncle Li Lin was the same as well even though he was just a mere section leader of the North Gate.

Of the entire Wang Clan, Uncle Li Lin was the least valued member. In terms of leading an army and uniting his subordinates, he was unable to match up to Wang Chong’s father; regarding martial arts, he lost to little uncle; concerning those political games in the royal court, he couldn’t defeat big uncle.

Thus, ever since he became a section leader of the palace gates, grandfather never tried to push him up the ranks.

Grandfather believed that uncle was incapable of achieving great things, and as a section leader of the North Gate, he was able to stay out of the vortex of trouble and live a peaceful life with big aunt.

However, Wang Chong’s thoughts differed from his grandfather.

Wang Chong has always felt grateful to big aunt and uncle. In his previous life, when the Wang Chong’s family was facing a huge calamity, it was big aunt and uncle who stretched out their hands to help them.

Even though uncle’s abilities didn’t stand out, he was an upstanding person and a qualified military man. Back then, in that catastrophe, innumerable Imperial Army members had escaped. Yet, Uncle Li Lin, as a mere section leader of the North Gate, didn’t cower from the battlefield. He gathered the army and formed a defensive line, fighting to the bitter end!

Wang Chong would always remember that wide and reliable back figure he saw before escaping.

A person’s abilities could be groomed afterward. Grandfather had only seen one side and didn’t know that there was another side hidden deep within Uncle Li Lin.

If Uncle Li Lin was given an opportunity, with sufficient grooming, he could become a formidable figure.

And Zhao Fengchen had just presented this opportunity into Wang Chong’s hands.

What better chance could there be aside from following the future Imperial Army Marshal?

“Uncle, do you believe me?”

Staring at Uncle Li Lin, Wang Chong suddenly asked.

Li Lin was taken aback. If it was before, given Wang Chong’s age, he would definitely laugh off those words. But after the previous incident, Li Lin didn’t dare to underestimate this nephew of his.

In fact, no one of the entire Wang Clan dared to look down on Wang Chong anymore. If not for him, the Wang Clan would have already fallen into a calamity.

Besides, the reason why Zhao Fengchen and Shen Huai visited him was due to Wang Chong.

“Chong-er, what do you mean to say?”

Li Lin asked.

“Uncle, if possible, don’t go to the West Gate. Following Zhao Fengchen would be much more useful than going to the West Gate!”

Wang Chong said seriously.

“But Zhao Fengchen might not necessarily agree to it.”

Regardless whether it was going to the west gate or following behind Zhao Fengchen, Li Lin still found the entire affair too good to be true. He didn’t feel as though he was qualified to choose between them.

“Rest assured, he will agree to it!”

Wang Chong smiled as he drew his sword. The instant his sword was drawn, cold air immediately gushed into the room. A sharp aura flashed across the air, and it felt as though it would cut the room into perfect halves.
