After hearing the old man’s words, the man’s heart gave a sudden jolt.

In the next moment, the old man suddenly turned his gaze towards the man, and his eyes were calm, yet carried a deep sense of age within them.

But it was this calm gaze that seemed to pierce through one’s heart, giving an extremely sharp feeling when it landed in one’s eyes.

The man took a deep breath and then said slowly, "I did it, and as you said, I failed!"

"Logically speaking, you shouldn’t have failed!" The old man did not get angry; he remained very calm, like a completely tranquil lake without a ripple.

"Someone saved him!"

"So that’s what happened!" The old man slowly revealed an enlightened expression: "But what happened this time, logically speaking, you shouldn’t have failed?"

"There’s someone behind Qin Rumeng." The man said softly, "The opponent is very terrifying; I’m afraid I’m not a match for him!"

The old man’s brows slowly furrowed into a deep crease: "You’re not his match?"

"Yes!" The man nodded, "Although I didn’t see him, nor did I confront him head-on, the opponent showed a move that seemed to casually unleash a fierce Inner Strength, destroying a small hill!"

"And I didn’t feel any leakage of Inner Strength at all!"

The old man didn’t speak this time, falling into silence.

After a brief silence, the old man spoke again, "So, the opponent’s strength is likely comparable to mine?"

"It’s very likely." The man spoke with a heavy, serious tone, "But in Huaxia, besides you, who else could have reached this level? I have no idea!"

"I don’t know either." The old man gently shook his head and said, "However, if what you said is true, then the opponent is indeed not to be underestimated!"

"But the thing in Qin Rumeng’s hands, you need to bring it to me." The old man said indifferently, "After you bring it here, I’ll personally handle the Taiji Seal!"

"As for Ye Xunhuan, there’s no need to bother with him; with someone like that around, dealing with him would be difficult."

"Yes!" The man said kindly and respectfully, "But that person is always by Qin Rumeng’s side, I..."

"King, don’t tell me you need me to teach you how to do it!" The old man gave a slight snort.

King, the foremost protector of Huaxia!

And for someone who could have the King speak so politely, there was probably no one else in Huaxia other than the enigmatic Lin Yuhai.

Lin Yuhai gave a slight snort, yet it made the King tremble.

"I’ll try my best to get it for you!"

"Not try—the certainty!" Lin Yuhai said softly, as he slowly lowered his head, looking at the five poisons and the little mouse.

"I understand!"

"Go and attend to your matters. If there’s nothing, don’t look for me. If there’s something, I’ll contact you."

The King didn’t leave, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing this, Lin Yuhai spoke again and asked, "What is it? Do you have something else?"

"The people from the church have also intervened, and I’m worried that Louis III will take advantage and..."

"I’d lend him ten guts to try." Lin Yuhai said with utter disdain, "Don’t worry. I’m not a good person, but what I’ve promised you, I will definitely fulfill."

"As long as foreign powers dare to invade Huaxia, I’ll make sure they come but never return. Are you relieved now?"

The King let out a long breath: "With your word, I am relieved!"

"Go about your work. I need to study which of these five poisons is the strongest. When I figure it out, I’ll come chat with you."

This time, the King didn’t linger any longer, he turned and left without delay, but while leaving, he couldn’t help but glance at Lin Yuhai twice more.

Concerning Lin Yuhai, the King simply couldn’t handle him, and Lin Yuhai was a blend of justice and villainy, belonging to the same ilk as the Evil King back then, yet he was not quite like him.

For the Evil King understood family and country, knew to protect the homeland, and respected his teachers, yet Lin Yuhai had nothing but disdain for such things!

To put it bluntly, Lin Yuhai had no concept of nation in his heart.

For him, it seemed as if only interests mattered.

Between the King and Lin Yuhai, their relationship was entirely reciprocal, but at the same time, the King had to bow to Lin Yuhai.

Because Lin Yuhai was stronger, and the King had made a pact with him, he’d assist Lin Yuhai in some matters, but Lin Yuhai had to help protect Huaxia!

So long as foreign powers tried to invade, and they were urgently needed, Lin Yuhai must step in to help!

In this regard, Lin Yuhai agreed readily, but even so, the King remained uneasy because Lin Yuhai was so unpredictable and overwhelmingly powerful—no one in Huaxia could subdue him!

Of course, if the Evil King were still alive, perhaps he could contend with Lin Yuhai!

Yet, the world isn’t full of ’ifs’ and ’maybes’, is it?

Needless to say, the King literally poured his heart and soul into Huaxia, aside from personal vendettas, it was the country he sought to protect.

In a sense, the King was a villain, but he was also a hero.

To Ye Xunhuan, he was a despicable villain, but to this nation, he was a hero!

This is a very complicated person.

The King left, and Lin Yuhai didn’t bother to notice, solely focused on the five poisons and the little mouse before him.

Shortly after the King left, Lin Yuhai let out a sigh and slowly revealed a pensive look, muttering, "Old chap, what kind of person did you leave for your granddaughter, to end up being so formidable!"

"But no matter what, I must obtain that thing and the Taiji Seal; none of you can stop me!"

Alas, Lin Yuhai’s words were destined not to be heard by Ye Xunhuan, otherwise, he would have been very curious as to what Qin Rumeng had in her possession that interested Lin Yuhai so much, seemingly even more than the Taiji Seal.

Likewise, the King didn’t know why Lin Yuhai was so interested in what Qin Rumeng held. In the King’s view, that thing was nothing more than a talisman, useful only within Huaxia, and entirely without any other purpose, also only usable once.

But who knows what wind blew in Lin Yuhai, suddenly insisting the King must get that thing from Qin Rumeng, otherwise, the King wouldn’t have gone through so much trouble dealing with Ye Xunhuan, trying to use him to get it.

Although the King didn’t know what Lin Yuhai wanted to do, he knew this old thing never acted without benefit; if it didn’t help him, he wouldn’t do it.

So even if the King got it, he wouldn’t hand it over immediately.
