"Teacher! That year's farewell had actually become an eternal incantation! This disciple is unfilial, I didn't even get to see teacher one last time!"
Jin botian could not help but burst into tears. It could be seen that he truly respected his teacher!
After saying that, Jin potian respectfully placed the dark gold secret envoy's token on the stone table. Then, he stood up, took two steps back, and solemnly knelt down.
Three kneels and nine kowtows!
This was the grandest ceremony. With Jin botian's status, there was probably no one in the entire starsource continent worthy of such a big bow, but he did it so naturally for his teacher's relics.
Lin Yi quickly dodged to the corner the moment Jin botian knelt down.
He was paying tribute to his late master. If he stood by the table and received a big gift, he would be hated by Jin botian later. He didn't know how he would be targeted!
Jin botian had forgotten that Lin Yi was still there. He kneeled on the ground and didn't get up. After kowtowing, he cried. Perhaps he had been looking for his teacher for many years. Now that he had confirmed the news, he couldn't help but pay his respects.
After a while, Jin botian finally calmed down. He sat back down and returned the token to Lin Yi,""Since teacher has chosen you, and you are indeed teacher's inheritor, this token will still be in your care! This Lord has wrongly blamed you, please don't take it to heart!"
"Deputy Director Jin, you ... My condolences!"
Lin Yi took the token and sighed. He wasn't in the mood to blame someone like this. He didn't even know how to comfort him. He could only offer his condolences.
Jin botian sighed and waved his hand dispiritedly.""I've not heard from you for so many years. In fact, I'm already mentally prepared for this. It's just that when I really get the news, my heart still hurts!"
"Forget it, there's no point in talking about this. Tell me first, how did teacher pass away? Was he in peace when he passed away?"
Lin Yi blinked. The old man didn't seem to be in peace when he left.
However, he had entered the magical beast prison and taken away the secret that the old man had been guarding so hard. He had also fulfilled the old man's wish and could perhaps be considered to be more peaceful.
With that thought, Lin Yi nodded."Peaceful ..."
Jin botian didn't need to ask further, and Lin Yi told him everything about the old man.
There was no addition or reduction, just the whole story of what happened.
Jin potian's expression changed drastically when he heard that his teacher was trapped in the dark magical beast's prison behind the node.
It was no wonder he couldn't find any news of his teacher after so many years. He wasn't even here, so it would be strange if there was any news!
"So that's how it is. I didn't think that teacher would suffer so many years in the darkness magical beasts" territory. As a disciple, I've never been able to save teacher, sigh ..."
Jin botian was sighing a lot today, and Lin Yi could understand that. He tried his best to comfort him.
Unknowingly, the atmosphere between the two of them became much better, and Jin botian no longer had the poker face he had before.
"It's a blessing for my teacher to meet you before he died. If not for that, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hear any news about my teacher in my lifetime!"
After Jin botian recovered from his shock, he sighed softly. "I'm afraid this is fate! Since teacher has chosen you to be his successor, from today onwards, you are also my Junior Brother. "
"If you don't mind, it shouldn't be a problem for me to call you Junior Brother, right? Teacher's spirit in heaven will probably hope that we can become fellow disciples. "
Lin Yi blinked-he'd become Jin botian's little brother? It didn't matter whether he took advantage of her or not. The key was that he was right. The old man's spirit in heaven would probably like to see this scene.
So Lin Yi nodded without hesitation."Of course, no problem. I'm Sima Yi. Greetings, senior brother!"
Since they were from the same sect, there was no such thing as social climbing. Jin potian smiled and nodded."Very good! To be able to meet Little Junior Brother on this trip to the Wutong continent was most likely arranged by the master's spirit in heaven! In the future, Little Junior Brother, if you have any needs, you can come to senior brother. As long as it's not against my principles, senior brother will do his best without hesitation!"
"Thank you, senior brother, for your kindness. I'll remember it!"
Lin Yi replied politely, still a little dazed.
He was originally a person who was sent to the death row, but now he had become the guest of honor of the Deputy Director of the inspection department. After those people who were watching the fun found out, who knew what kind of expressions they would have?
The atmosphere in the stone chamber became more and more cheerful and harmonious. After the two of them exchanged a few more words, Jin botian suddenly changed the topic."Little Junior Brother, it's a Time of Troubles. The martial Alliance of the starsource continent is also short on manpower. That's why I've come out to patrol personally to find suitable talents to recruit into the patrolling institution. Since we're fellow disciples, I'll be frank with you!"
"Senior brother, please speak!"
Lin Yi said with a fist salute.
"Alright!" Jin botian nodded in satisfaction. The martial Alliance of the starsource continent needs talents, and not those simple martial arts experts. Junior Brother, you were able to charge into the dark demonic beast Node alone and summon the clouds and rain with a flip of your hand. You can be said to have both intelligence and courage!"
"To put it bluntly, you're the talent that senior brother is looking for. I wonder if you're willing to help senior brother? You don't have to answer in a hurry, think about it first! If you agree, senior brother won't put you in the open for the time being, but will continue your role as an agent!"
"In other words, you may not be able to have a bright and beautiful identity in broad daylight. You will have people flattering you everywhere you go!"
Jin botian clearly had a lot on his mind-he didn't want Lin Yi, his trump card, to be exposed.
However, Lin Yi was overjoyed. Wasn't this great? If Jin botian really wanted him to be a small official in the inspection department, that would be meaningless!
The identity of a secret agent was the most suitable cover for his activities!
"No need to think about it. This younger brother will follow senior brother's arrangement. I will do as senior brother says!"
Lin Yi said without hesitation.
Jin botian was more and more satisfied and immediately took out a new token.
The shape and pattern of the token were similar to the one Lin Yi had, but it was made from a polished diamond. It glowed with the slightest light, making it look luxurious.
In the secular world, it was almost impossible for a diamond to be polished into such a shape. However, in the world of cultivators, there were forgers, so it was not surprising.
