Chapter 88: History

"Good." Shopkeeper Wang, who was now had become Elder Wang, looked at Lin Xiao and sighed. He truly couldn't understand why the Heaven wanted someone like Lin Xiao to become the Emperor.

Was there something special about this boy aside from his recklessness?

Thinking about how Shopkeeper Wang himself had made use of Lin Xiao in the past because Lin Xiao was so poor, he couldn't help but shudder. He hoped that Lin Xiao would forget how he treated the other party like a guinea pig to test some goods.

"So, who are you exactly?" Lin Xiao asked.

"Right, I'm Associate Elder of Taiyi Sect and also the previous emperor's disciple, Wang Jun," Elder Wang replied with a bitter smile. He had never used his real name, Wang Jun, for a long time. After all, no one dared to call him directly when they talked about him.

Lin Xiao's eyes widened as he looked at Elder Wang, Wang Jun, in surprise. "If you're such an honorable elder, why do you stay here and become a wretched merchant?"

"I'm not wretched, you damn brat!"

"Then a merchant!" Lin Xiao rolled his eyes.

Wang Jun sighed and then looked at the village. "Taiyi Sect is the real founder of Sun Kingdom and always protected the kingdom's secret. The secret naturally also includes the method to pinpoint the location of Emperor Inheritance."

"You can guess the location of the Emperor Inheritance?" Lin Xiao asked in shocked tone. Wenren Yu told him before that the Emperor Inheritance location would be near the place of the next inheritor. However, it was hard for them to figure out where it would be.

"Not very accurate, but we can guess. The last Emperor Inheritance's Inheritor who died is the Lake Emperor, so we could guess that the next inheritor would be someone near the lake," Wang Jun explained.

"Based on the prediction, it'll appear somewhere near Taiyi Sect, which excite us. I might not be a formal elder there, but I still have the informal position as Associate Elder, so I was also informed. To be able to mingle with the people near lakes, I chose to go with merchant identity."

Lin Xiao blinked his eyes. He had asked Wenren Yu to draw a map before, so he knew that there were a total of three lakes near Taiyi Sect. Did it mean Wang Jun had been visiting each lake one by one?

Seeing Lin Xiao's expression, Wang Jun smiled bitterly. "Yes, I visited all of them under the guise of a merchant."

"And no one suspicious?"

"Brat, are you even suspicious of me?"

"…No."

Now that Lin Xiao thought about it, Shopkeeper Wang appeared around two years ago. Yet despite his sudden appearance, everyone treated him as if he was someone who had been in the village for a long time. Even Lin Xiao also traded some food with him as if it was something that he had done naturally all this time.

If not for Wang Jun mentioned it, he would have never realized it even up to this point.

"That's…"

"I'm already at Golden Core Stage," Wang Jun admitted. "But don't expect me to treat you like a pampered young master. You have to get stronger on your own."

"Yes!"

As Golden Core Stage, Wang Jun possessed ability to slightly affect other people's memory. While he didn't really erase their memory, he made them felt that he was someone who belonged to the village. This way, the villagers would never treat him as stranger.

Thanks to that, Wang Jun had been able to do his investigate peacefully. However, he didn't find anyone who might have connection with the Emperor, any Emperor. That was why he was utterly confused but still kept his identity a secret.

"When Taiyi Sect is destroyed, is it because of the Emperor Inheritance?" Lin Xiao asked probingly.

Wang Jun arched his eyebrows. He looked at Lin Xiao and slowly nodded. "Yes."

"I see."

Even though Wang Jun didn't want to tell this brat about this, he felt that it would be useless even if he tried to lie. Lin Xiao was not completely stupid, so he must have guessed that because of the rumor that the next Emperor Inheritance appeared near, some people were attracted.

Lin Xiao's eyes were solemn. "What exactly happened at that time."

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you."

"But…"

"You're too weak."

Too weak!

The phrase lit up a fire within Lin Xiao's eyes. He always thought that he had nothing to do with Taiyi Sect, but it turned out that Taiyi Sect was implicated because of him. Yet at that time, he didn't even realize it and still lived his life normally.

The burden of having so many people's lives ended because of him…

Lin Xiao thought of Wenren Yu and how he had lost everything in just a day's time. He clenched his fist. No matter what, he would bring Taiyi Sect back to its former glory!

Watching Lin Xiao's emotion that brewed in his eyes, Wang Jun felt that the boy was not that bad. He had been wondering how Lin Xiao's reaction would be. Some people would run away from the responsibility while some of them would feel the burden too big and be overwhelmed.

But Lin Xiao was different.

He felt that it was heavy and that it was impossible for him to turn back the past, but he chose to shoulder everything and moved on to fulfill the expectation.

"Do you wish for me to become the Emperor, Elder Wang?"

Elder Wang arched his eyebrows. "Whether you become the Emperor or not is your decision. However, my task is to guide the next Emperor Inheritance's Inheritor so that you would not stray in your path."

Lin Xiao took a deep breath. His dark eyes brewed with emotion. Slowly, he raised his hand and cupped it together. "In that case, I'll be in your care, Elder Wang. Please guide me to become the Great Emperor."
