These words were abrupt, but it made Ye Feng's heart skip a beat.
He shouldn't be like this, but he had a strange intuition that he had been completely seen through.
This intuition had helped him many times.
Who among his own people leaked the news?
Ye Feng flashed through all kinds of conjectures in an instant, but he knew very well that if he couldn't pass this test, he might lose his identity as a king.
"Your Majesty, you flatter me. I just don't want to be like the rest of the mediocre people." Ye Feng raised his head slightly with a smile, but the words he said were not modest. "I don't care much about the privilege level of a king, and I don't want to be just like that. I have a higher goal."
These words were just an implicit statement of his own ability and confidence in his own ability.
After all, the difference between different privileges was big.
But unless there was a big grudge and he spent a lot of effort to keep killing, at most, he would only be demoted by one level. And Ye Feng thought he could bear this consequence.
His goal had always been to be an emperor.
Even if his identity as a king was demoted, he had enough confidence to take the exam again in a short time.
This was also the reason why he dared to come here to investigate, and naturally, he had to show this confidence.
However, to his surprise, Ye Zichen's eyes lit up.
Chu Lin didn't seem to care at all.
Yes, he didn't care.
As if he didn't understand the meaning of his words, he waved his hand indifferently. "You don't have to beat around the bush. Just say it. What do you want to know? Maybe I'll tell you directly if I'm in a good mood. "
“.....”
Ye Feng was silent for a while, and his mind was quickly making all kinds of guesses.
But it was useless.
From the beginning of their meeting, the emperor's reaction seemed to have been unexpected.
Finally, he looked around and lowered his voice.
"I wonder if Your Majesty would mind changing places?"
This simple sentence had a lot of calculations. If he agreed, it meant that the other party wanted to use him. If he didn't agree, it meant that he didn't care about him at all.
However, Chu Lin just sneered.
Without saying a word, he directly walked past Ye Feng and walked forward.
This made Ye Feng stunned on the spot, and even a little frightened.
Again, it was within his expectations. Was he letting him choose whether to follow him or not?
However, what he didn't know was that this time, he was really overthinking things.
In fact, Chu Lin didn't have so many plans.
Thanks to Shen Yi's teachings on "structure", Chu Lin and Catherine had both widened their horizons. They understood that they did not need to care about the thoughts of those in power.
Regardless of whether they only had selfish desires or the world in their hearts, they only needed to see their actions.
After deciding on a plan to save the world and guiding it, if these people in power had a good reaction, they would give a certain amount of support.
Those who did not have the heart to resist also accepted death.
On the other hand, those who were a hindrance were dealt with in a thunderous manner.
It was just like what Shen Yi had done in his world.
However, Chu Lin found that the king still followed them.
This was interesting.
Chu Lin recalled Shen Yi's usual practice and came up with an idea.
Just like how he used to collect information, he found a tavern, sat by the window, and looked out the window, observing the reactions of different people and their lives.
Ye Feng seemed to have thrown caution to the wind and sat across from Chu Lin.
"Your Majesty." He said softly, "I just want to know what kind of changes the great sage … will bring to this world."
This was a very direct but also very smart sentence, as if he had already determined that the sage would succeed in changing the world according to his will.
It was also equivalent to showing that he was not standing on the side of the emperors who tried to resist the sage.
And Chu Lin glanced at him.
"We may bring great changes to this world, but the one who really decides this world and your future is only you."
Ye Feng's spirit was lifted. A response was the best result.
What he was most afraid of was that he would be driven away or even killed. That way, he would lose his level for nothing, and he would not be able to get anything out of him.
He carefully thought about this sentence in his mind.
The one who decides the future is themselves? Is this hinting that their choice will bring about a different future? Or is it warning him not to make the wrong choice?
But just as he was still analyzing this sentence, Chu Lin asked in return, "What do you think of the world now?"
"This …" Ye Feng carefully gave a jack-of-all-trades answer, "There are good things, but there are also bad things."
"Haha." Chu Lin laughed and did not hide his sarcasm, "You are the one who wants to talk, and you are the one who followed me, but you are not willing to speak your mind. You must be very satisfied with the current state of the world. After all, you are the one who benefits from it. Your talent that is far beyond the average person has given you the opportunity to realize all your ambitions."
Chu Lin was also a ruler after all, and he had trained in the association for more than 20 years, so he naturally had this insight.
Ye Feng's throat moved.
He had already realized that the emperor in front of him was different from any emperor he had met before.
It was not an existence that he could see clearly.
He suddenly had an inexplicable fear. Even the followers of the sage were like this, so how powerful was the sage?
But now was not the time to think about this. Ye Feng had completely given up on scheming.
In the face of a person who was stronger than him and could not be seen through, he could only give up on scheming and be a fool for once, and honestly show his true self.
"His Majesty said that I have enough confidence to become an emperor, and build a powerful empire, and do great things in my life." He spoke his true thoughts honestly, "So I am probably very satisfied with this world."
"You are not the only one who is satisfied." Chu Lin's gaze once again looked out of the window, watching the passersby, "Randomly ask ten people on the street this question, and nine of them will give a satisfactory answer. They enjoy their current lives and are not too dissatisfied with this world. The remaining one, is just unaware of his good fortune … Such a world that is loved by almost everyone, why would the sage want to change it?"
When he said the last sentence, Chu Lin had turned his head again and looked at Ye Feng.
It seemed like he was asking him.
But Ye Feng did not know the answer.
There was some confusion in his eyes, because in his opinion, the answer was nothing more than for power, for status, for ambition, and for his own desires.
