Chapter 1112: Headmaster of the Eight Hundred Martial Monks

y this morning, so I followed you here."Su Jinpa tilted her head slightly and asked, "Aren't you always very busy In two days it's the day of the oath-taking departure, my father and brother are so bu...Chapter 1112: The Headmaster of the Eight Hundred Monks

"Alright, since you've done something for this palace and endured such fear and anxiety these past year, how could I possibly mistreat you"

Li Chen leaned against the chair, a smirk playing on his lips, and said: "As I said before, I gave you three choices. Did you listen carefully"

"The first choice is to try to infiltrate Wen Wang's side and continue doing what you did when you were by Li Yinhu's side."

“But Wenwang is not comparable to Li Yinhou; the former is far more powerful. Coupled with your identity and background, Wenwang will inevitably examine you carefully, and even suspecting you, he might directly kill you, which is not impossible. Furthermore, Wenwang is far away in Jinling, his territory is as solid as gold. If something really happens, this palace would be unable to help you, no matter how hard I try. Everything depends on yourself. Therefore, this choice is a gamble with nine deaths and one life.”

After hearing this first option, Xu Wei's expression remained calm, showing no resistance or hesitation, but neither did he readily agree.

This reaction is normal and in line with Li Chen's psychological expectations of Xu Wei.

People who go undercover usually don't want to go back to that dark and hopeless life.

Thus, Xu Wei did not resist, which demonstrated his absolute loyalty and obedience to Li Chen.

...and his failure to give a direct answer actually reveals Xu Wei's true feelings.

If given the choice, who would choose to be an undercover agent

If Xu Wei didn't listen to either of the next two options and just agreed outright, Li Chen would really suspect that Xu Wei had ulterior motives.

"The second option, go to the Jinyiwei."

Li Chen said, “Now that Chen Tong serves as the Commander of the Jinyiwei, but before the new Factory Supervisor arrives, he has to oversee the entire Dongchang operation. Therefore, the Jinyiwei urgently needs a deputy commander responsible for daily affairs.”

"You understand the nature of the Jinyiwei. It must be someone the Imperial Palace can absolutely trust, so I can transfer you there to be the deputy commander."

This second option made Xu Wei a little excited.

It wasn't for the position of deputy commander, but rather Li Chen's requirement for someone utterly trustworthy to fill it.

In that case, would I not then become someone Your Highness could absolutely trust

This feeling of being recognized and appreciated made Xu Wei's face flush slightly.

But...he didn't want to go to the Jinyiwei.

Seeing Xu Wei's hesitation, Li Chen said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile: "What, not satisfied with either"

"Your Highness, I understand the nature of the Jinyi Guard. Because of their unique nature, they have always been a separate entity. It's difficult for them to leave, and even harder for outsiders to join. If I were suddenly to become the deputy commander, I'm afraid I would encounter strong resistance."

"Not confident enough in yourself"

Li Chen said, "With this palace supporting you, what are you afraid of Are you worried that you're not capable enough"

Xu Wei smiled bitterly: “Of course, my humble self's life is insignificant. But I am worried that I will delay Your Highness's errands.”

"Okay."

Li Chen didn't make things difficult for Xu Wei, in fact, the first and second choices weren't paths Li Chen laid out for Xu Wei, the third one was.

Then you have no choice, go straight for the third one.

Li Chen helped Xu Wei make a decision, "I'll give you eight hundred people, you train them into an army!"

Yes, Li Chen was planning to make Xu Wei the head of these eight hundred martial monks.

These eight hundred martial monks, trained by the accomplished monk Jie Wang, can challenge even those at the Land Immortal realm when they work together. If properly utilized, their power could be surprising to everyone!rivately circulating books of Han culture, such as poetry collections like the *Shijing*, is clear evidence.So even Yelu Shenxuan himself, merely wanted to maximize the gains and thicken his own golde...
