After the initial surprise, Lin Chong gradually calmed down, his eyes flashed, and he pondered silently.

He knew very well that he was facing a major choice, which was likely to be related to the fate of the second half of his life.

If someone else had been suddenly hit on the head by such a big piece of pie, he would have been overjoyed and agreed without hesitation.

But Lin Chong understood that there is no free lunch in the world, and he had to pay whatever he wanted.

As a responsibility for power, once you are in a high position, you must take the overall situation into consideration. No matter what you do, you are destined to be unable to do whatever you want as you did before.

The title of the leader of the Yanhuang Martial Alliance seems attractive, but in fact it is not as beautiful as imagined.

Without enough skills and strength, how can we maintain the balance between major forces? How to suppress the sects that are about to move? How to command the warriors in the world?

Although Lin Chong is full of confidence in himself, he does not believe that he currently has the influence that matches Du Huaizhen.

In the midst of lightning, countless thoughts flashed through Lin Chong's mind.

Lin Chong was a little undecided. He thought for two or three minutes before looking up at Du Huaizhen: "Can I ask you a few questions?"

Du Huaizhen raised his eyebrows imperceptibly.

Lin Chong's prudence and restraint once again exceeded his expectations, and also made him appreciate it more.

"Ask." Du Huaizhen's eyes dissipated and he said lightly.

"Why did you establish the Yanhuang Wu Alliance?"

Lin Chong asked straight to the point without any delay.

“Three reasons.”

Du Huaizhen said in a straightforward tone: "First, the civil strife in China has just ended, and the martial arts world is in chaos. The sects are attacking each other in order to seize territory. I can't bear to see the devastation of living beings;"

"Secondly, life is always left with traces. Even though I am determined to transcend, I cannot avoid the world. I want to achieve something and live up to what I have learned in my life."

"Third, after Jin entered Gangjin, it was difficult to make any progress based on personal strength alone, because cultivation required a lot of resources and I didn't have the intention to collect it myself, so establishing a force is the most effective and easiest way."

Faced with Lin Chong's inquiry, Du Huaizhen could be said to be full of words.

In fact, he had no need to hide it.

"Thanks."

Lin Chong's expression was very serious, and his heart was even more touched. The fog in front of him spread out layer by layer. He asked again: "In your eyes, what kind of organization is the Wu Alliance?"

“It depends on what stage of my life I am at.”

A meaningful smile appeared on Du Huaizhen's mouth, but his voice still did not fluctuate: "In my eyes at this moment, Wumeng is just a burden."

When Lin Chong heard this, his body was shocked, and he suddenly looked up and looked directly at Du Huaizhen's face almost rudely.

"There are different positions, and the way we look at things is very different. Sometimes, I envy those ordinary people who have short lifespans. They are like cicadas who do not know the spring and autumn, ignorant but happy."

Du Huaizhen said leisurely: "The longer you live, the higher you stand, the more you can feel the fragility and insignificance of life. Sometimes, you always feel very boring..."

Lin Chong didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while.

He was only over 20 years old and was at the age of masculine blood. Although he was strong, tough in nature, and had perseverance and wisdom far beyond ordinary people, he could not empathize with the situation Du Huaizhen was in.

However, Lin Chong could hear the loneliness contained in Du Huaizhen's words.

This invincible martial arts saint in the country, may feel lonely when he looks around, right?

"Sorry, I can't agree with your thoughts. We are born ordinary people, and we can achieve extraordinaryness because of our desire for extraordinaryness."

Lin Chong thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Life is wonderful because of its shortness and precious because of its fragility. If everyone is immortal, then what is the meaning of struggle and hard work?"

Du Huaizhen didn't expect Lin Chong to dare to refute him, and his light golden eyes could not help but narrowed slightly.

"In the face of the torrent of time, nothing can remain the same. Love, family, friendship, hatred, anger... will disappear with death."

Du Huaizhen waved his sleeves lightly: "Wait until that day, you will naturally understand my feelings. Now, tell me your answer."

"I accept it." Lin Chong no longer hesitated and said bluntly.

"So, from today on, you will be one of the candidates for the leader. You must compete with other candidates, and the final winner can become the leader."

Du Huaizhen closed his eyes, and his tone gradually became ethereal and indifferent: "I have finished what I should say, you can go out."

Lin Chong stood up silently, held his fists and bowed to Du Huaizhen, and then left the room.

Xu Jing and Yukino were still guarding the room, and they heard nothing even though they were separated by a wall.

"Owner!"

Seeing Lin Chong pushing the door out, Yukino was overjoyed.

"Shh."

Lin Chong raised his index finger in front of his lips and signaled the little maid not to speak.

Yukino was startled and quickly covered her mouth, her big eyes dripped around, and she glanced into the room a few times with a cute expression.

Xu Jing looked cold from beginning to end, and did not pretend to be like a lie because Lin Chong was summoned by Du Huaizhen. He spoke out two words expressionlessly: "Let's go."

After saying that, he turned around first and returned along the way

It was not until he entered the elevator and was far away from the room where Du Huaizhen was, Xu Jing stared at Lin Chong and asked hard, "What did my master tell you?"

Lin Chongxi's words are like gold: "Nothing can be told."

Others may be afraid of Xu Jing's identity and the Zhenwu Sect standing behind him, but Lin Chong will not.

Xu Jing didn't expect Lin Chong to refuse so simply. His cheek muscles twitched a few times. He looked at Lin Chong deeply, then looked away and stopped talking again.

There was nothing to say about the way, and the atmosphere in the elevator was cold and stiff.

The elevator continued to descend and soon arrived at the first floor of the National Museum of China. Lin Chong was about to take Yukino out when Xu Jing suddenly said coldly: "I'll give you a piece of advice, don't have unrealistic delusions. Some things are not something you can get involved in. If you insist on doing it alone, be careful to implicate the people around you."

"oh?"

Lin Chong had already stepped out of the elevator at this time. Hearing this, his head slightly tilted, he looked at Xu Jing from the corner of his eyes, and asked without any emotion: "Are you threatening me?"

"You can understand it so."

Xu Jing stood in the elevator, with his arms wrapped around his chest, his eyes cold and indifferent, and his whole body exuded the powerful momentum of Yuanli Yuexi. His voice condensed into a line and accurately entered Lin Chong's ears: "I don't want to say it again, I'll say it again, so you can do it yourself."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two people's eyes collided in the sky, and sparks flew everywhere in an instant.
