Chapter 931: Chapter 586: Tears and Wine (Part 3)

But thinking about the master’s age, it’s not very old; wanting to drink at this time means either a falling out with family or a conflict with a lover.

If it were an ordinary person... Xiang Ruofeng wouldn’t care about others.

The two remained silent.

Lu Lin took a bite of food and a sip of wine.

With a strong physique, these ordinary drinks were futile, unable to intoxicate Lu Lin at all.

Instead, the more he drank, the clearer his mind became.

A streak of fish belly white appeared at the horizon.

Only then did Lu Lin set down his wine cup.

He turned to Xiang Ruofeng, "Xiang Ruofeng, do you have any wishes?"

"Master, I, wouldn’t dare."

Xiang Ruofeng quickly stood up and bowed.

He was merely an ordinary servant of Lu Lin, though his status was noble; but now his life was in Lu Lin’s hands, how could he dare have any wishes?

Could he possibly say, I wish the master would set me free?

Perhaps if he said that, Lu Lin would immediately send him to reincarnation.

"Haha, what’s there to fear? Living in this world, amidst passions and material desires, achievements and fame, there must be pursuit for life to be exciting and meaningful."

"Otherwise, why would we martial artists strive diligently? Isn’t it all for the hope that when we become strong enough, we can act recklessly for once?"

"Go ahead, if your wish pleases me, I’ll set you free."

What!

Xiang Ruofeng was greatly shocked in his heart.

Lu Lin actually was willing to set him free?

Indeed.

Lu Lin originally had no intention of taking him as a servant; it was Xiang Ruofeng who proactively delivered himself to Lu Lin, leaving Lu Lin with no choice but to accept him.

Otherwise, with Lu Lin’s vision and ability, a person at the Star Emperor Stage would be enough to keep as a servant.

"Master, then I’ll speak."

"My wish is to become emperor."

"Isn’t it ridiculous? But this is indeed my inner thought."

"When I was very young, seeing those princes of my age, I was very envious in my heart."

"Although they are not much older than me, they all have the opportunity to compete for that position, but I do not."

"But this is not my fault, it’s only because my father failed in the competition with Xiang Chu, leaving me, his offspring, to only work in the Ministry of Justice."

"My big brother and second brother, in terms of talent and capabilities, are at least a hundred times stronger than Xiang Ruojun."

"But Xiang Ruojun has Lu Wanshi’s support."

"Our family could never become emperor."

"Even when this generation’s emperor abdicates, after Xiang Ruojun takes power, our family won’t even be able to stay in the Ministry of Justice, only managing some businesses for the royal family or the subordinates’ forces."

"So, I want to be emperor, I really do."

By the end, Xiang Ruofeng’s voice became intense and powerful.

Evidently, this wasn’t just said to appease Lu Lin; he really had such a thought.

"Good, not bad."

Lu Lin praised after listening, continuing to fill his wine cup.

But just at this moment, there was sudden chaos at the city gate.

Soon, the city gate of Jingzhou Mansion opened wide, with martial artists dressed in deep red armor, mounted on war horses, ready to depart.

They were lined up in pairs and immediately accelerated as they exited the city gate.

Lu Lin and Xiang Ruofeng sat there, not caring where these knights were headed.

But at that moment, a team of soldiers rode up to the two and surrounded them.

The war horses circled around, snorting continuously.

A martial artist on horseback coldly looked at Lu Lin and Xiang Ruofeng.

"Drinking outside the city at midnight, the two of you certainly have refined tastes."

"The grand army is passing through here, to prevent information leaks, please come with me."
