Chapter 283 Emperor Summon
Chapter 283 Emperor Summon
Lin Lee glanced at their fearful expressions, seeing no one was answering him.
"Who are you? Answer me now; you won't have another chance." He asked again with a cold expression on his face.
"Please, Master Yi, have mercy. We are from the royal court sent by the emperor. We bear no ill will against you." One of them hurriedly replied with a fearful expression, grabbed a scroll with his bloody hand, and threw it toward his direction.
Lin Lee grabbed and opened the scroll, and instantly the individual in front of him sat up and knelt down in front of the scroll, enduring their pain.
"So the emperor wants to summon me," Lin Lee asked calmly, looking at them; instantly their faces changed seeing Lin Lee calling the emperor directly without any respect, but they didn't dare to say anything.
"Yes, Master Yi, please, your majesty has summoned you to the royal banquet a week later." The individual hurriedly nodded and replied respectfully, Continue your adventure with empire
Lin Lee nodded, looking at everything written on the scroll, and then threw it back toward them and said, "Go and tell the emperor that I accept the summon and I will pay a visit on time."
"Yes, master Yi, and thank you for showing us mercy."
The royal court personnel hurriedly stood up, spoke, and then bowed a little. All of them walked away limping.
Lin Lee glanced at their back speechlessly, then shook his head, turned around, and walked inside the mansion.
…
A few days later,
Lin Lee glanced at his mother, who is cleaning the mansion.
'It seems I have told her many times that we should move to the capital; this forest area is remote, and no one is willing to work here, but I think she wants to wait for her husband's return.'
Lin Lee thought to himself and then sighed, feeling a little pity in his heart.
"I am going to visit the capital; the emperor summoned me to the banquet tomorrow."
Lin Lee suddenly spoke, looking at her; Yi Yun's figure froze in place, and then her figure trembled a little. She hurriedly stood up, and looking at him anxiously, wanted to say something and then fell silent.
"When will you return?" After a little silence, she raised her head and asked with a little hesitation and helplessness expression mixed on her face,
Lin Lee was startled looking at her in surprise, then he sighed and replied with a calm expression on his face,
"I will return soon; don't worry, I won't disappear like my father; also, maybe I can find something about his disappearance in the capital."
Yi Yun fell silent and then turned around and silently walked toward the room amidst the thoughtful gaze of Lin Lee.
After a while, she returned with a round, spiral-shaped jade and then passed it to him, saying, "I don't know what kind of jade this is, but your father let me keep it and told me that if you grow up, then I should give it to you."
Lin Lee raised his hand in surprise and grabbed the palm-sized jade in his hand, feeling his hand sink a little; a surprise flashed through his heart.
'It's heavy and cold. What kind of jade is this?' Lin Lee thought to himself, observing the jade in his hand,
"You should put it in your pocket; don't hang it around your neck; the weight will affect your height; you are growing up right now." Yi Yun then said with a smile, rubbed his head, and then added,
"Go, but you must return on time. I won't stop you. We knew since your birth that you were a special child. You grew up very fast; even I didn't realize it. I believe everything you do, little Yi."
Lin Lee sighed in relief hearing her words, and then a smile appeared on his face looking at her, "Thank you, Mother, for trusting me."
Yi Yun nodded, smiling with tears flowing out from her eyes, and then she rubbed his head again and walked toward the kitchen. "I will prepare something for you; eat before you leave."
"Yes." Lin Lee nodded and replied, walked and sat down on the couch in the lounge hall, and after a while he ate the meal and then left the mansion before sunset, leaving behind the few monsters to take care of the mansion and his mother inside it.
…
After leaving the forest area,
Lin Lee appeared near a main path connected to the capital city of the empire. He glanced at the carriage passing by him and going towards the capital city, also feeling the different kinds of emotions released by the peoples, animals, and from the surrounding villages located on the other side of the way.
After stopping a passenger carriage,
"Little brother, where are you going?" The driver asked, looking at him with a smile, and then gestured at him toward the seat behind him. The carriage behind him is an open carriage without a roof, so passengers can easily board and sit down inside it.
"Capital city," Lin Lee replied and then boarded sat down behind him, seeing the few other passengers sitting in the seats behind him,
"Where are you from, little brother?" the driver asked again, looking at him with a smile.
"I am from the capital city," Lin Lee replied calmly, looking at him.
"Ohh, that's good. It seems you are here to visit someone." The carriage owner nodded and said with a smile,
Lin Lee nodded and didn't say anything in return, just looking at the surrounding areas and villages, houses, cities, and markets passed by along with some barren hills.
Soon deep darkness covered the sky, and the carriage stopped in an open area just below a tall hill, with an open area in front of it.
"We will rest here tonight and then travel again the next morning; we will reach the capital by tomorrow evening." The carriage owner spoke, looking at the passengers and Lin Lee,
Lin Lee nodded and then walked toward the corner and sat down cross-legged calmly in a clean open area and closed his eyes.
Others started setting up tents and bedding in order to spend the night, while Lin Lee didn't care as it is a medium season, not that hot nor that cold.
As the moon displaced and stars shone in the deep night,
Lin Lee opened his eyes and glanced in a direction, feeling a lot of individuals, about two to three hundred, with malicious and ferocious emotion; they are coming in their direction.
'Bandits, I didn't expect just leaving the home, I will encounter bandits; well, anyway, they are a few miles away right now; it will take them some time to reach here; till then I can rest for a while.'
Lin Lee thought to himself and then closed his eyes, starting to absorb the emotional fluctuation from the surroundings and strengthening his body and then incorporating it into his soul. After a few cycles, even the ferocious emotions of those bandits he just sensed were absorbed by him.
Lin Lee sensed the dual layer of mixed emotion in his soul; he nodded, satisfied.
'There are six paths of emotion; each next path is harder than the previous path, but the strength difference is also in a large margin,' Lin Lee thought to himself and then recalled the strength division of emotion in this civilization.
Master of the path, a single path with limited emotion control and absorption, at this stage experts can only control and reshape single emotions in trees and worms using the emotion power; they can even incorporate their single emotion power into nonliving things and control them, just like the royal court individuals did to their weapons.
Master of the second path can master and control dual emotions at once; they can absorb and control one negative and one positive emotion. The master of the second path controls emotions more than ten times stronger than the master of the path. At this stage, experts can absorb emotion from small animals and weak humans.
The master of the third path can master and control two positive and two negative emotions; they can control and absorb the emotion from all creatures with the strength lower than the second path master.
Master of the fourth path, can control the four negative and four positive emotions, can resist and remove the curse and evil, can control and absorb the emotional power of living beings with strength lower than the master of the third path,
Master of the Fifth Path, also known as Master of the Wise, can control and communicate with all living and nonliving things by creating an emotional bridge; they can even guide the creatures of the world through the emotional path by giving them wisdom; even a stone can transform into a living creature in their hands.
Master of the Sixth Path, also known as Saints of the Path,
'There is a vague definition of the master of the sixth path in that book; just one guess about the saint of the path is that no emotion can hide from their eyes; they can even communicate with the worlds and control them.'
Lin Lee thought to himself and then sighed, feeling the path of emotion is really mystic and strange.
