Chapter 11157: Chapter 11156: The Battle of the Three Kingdoms!

Lord Chu immediately said in a clear voice,” In that case, I’ll make a bet with you. If you’re right, I’m really unlucky today. I’ll apologize to you face to face and take the initiative to avoid you in the future. But if you’re wrong, that’s heresy and you’ll have to be imprisoned for punishment. Do you dare?”

King Han hurriedly tried to stop him.

“Of course you can,” Lin Yi said.

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him as if they were looking at an idiot and a dead man.

On the throne, the emperor couldn’t help but feel regretful.

Chu Wang was setting up a trap for Lin Yi-even he could tell.

King Chu was aggressive, but as long as Lin Yi didn’t respond, he couldn’t do anything to him.

After all, Lin Yi’s contribution to the inner court was obvious to everyone. It wasn’t something that King Chu could just kill with a few words.

But now that Lin Yi had agreed to the bet, it was completely different.

Once he lost the bet, no one could save him!

The emperor couldn’t help but shake his head. He was still too young.

On the other side, King Han couldn’t help but send a message to Lin Yi through his spirit sense,” Young hero Lin, you’re too impulsive. King Chu may be in a high position, but he’s famous for being careless. No matter what happens next, he’ll insist that he’s not unlucky. This way, he’ll be invincible.”

King Chu was invincible, which meant that Lin Yi would definitely lose.

The key was that there was no direct standard to measure whether one was unlucky or not.

No matter how much King Chu cheated, no one could do anything to him.

Lin Yi, on the other hand, was the weaker party, and there was no other way out.

“Thank you for your concern, King Han. I’m confident, just wait and see.” Lin Yi replied calmly.

Han Wang looked at Lin Yi deeply, seeing that he was determined, he had no choice but to give up.

Besides that, King Qi and King Zhao, the two lords who had been friendly to Lin Yi, had meaningful looks in their eyes, but they didn’t have any intention of sending a message to Lin Yi.

They represented their respective palaces, and although they had some interactions with Lin Yi, their relationship wasn’t as deep as King Han’s palace.

If Lin Yi was able to gain a foothold, they would be happy to invest in him again, increasing the returns.

But if Lin Yi died today, they wouldn’t feel much regret.

As a super force of the seven kings, be it King Qi’s or King Zhao’s, they were naturally the biggest angel investors in the inner court. They had invested in many potential stocks like Lin Yi.

Most of them would die halfway. From their point of view, they were already used to it and would not even have the slightest psychological fluctuation.

” It’s getting late,” the King of Qin said.” Let’s start today’s main topic.”

He looked at the emperor.

” Alright.” The emperor hurriedly nodded.” Let’s begin then.”

Immediately, a minister stepped forward and read out the rules of the selection in public.

These were all established procedures. To the powerful officials and dukes led by the seven kings, there was naturally no surprise at all.

However, this was the first time many of the people who had entered the Hundred Seedlings List had heard of it. Apart from being surprised, they could not help but reveal excited expressions.

Each of them would be bound to a heavyweight man-made rule.

Of course, there were some risks involved.

After all, after binding, if something happened to the rules, they would also be in trouble.

However, since they had already passed the test of the Hundred Seedlings Plan and the Inner Court attached great importance to them, it meant that the risk had been minimized.

In the end, the Inner Court might not care about their lives, but they could not possibly not care about these heavyweight man-made rules, right?

While the risks were controllable, there were huge benefits for them!

According to the rules, once they were bound, they would receive one point of luck as a bonus.

One point was one percent.

It didn’t sound like much, but right now, they were facing the largest set of man-made rules in the entire Inner Court.

It was not an exaggeration to say that any of these would deeply affect every aspect of the Inner Court.

Even if it was only 1% of the luck dividends, it was an astronomical figure for ordinary cultivators like them.

This was like an ordinary person in the secular world suddenly receiving a share bonus from a top 500 company. Just thinking about it made one’s heart surge!

In fact, that was not all.

Many of those participating in this competition were elite disciples from various factions.

What they were interested in was not just the luck bonus. More importantly, as long as they were bound to these man-made rules, they would be able to obtain a portion of their influence. If they did it well in the future, it would not be a dream to soar to the sky!

For a moment, everyone was restless.

Only the Queen and the others, who had been informed by Lin Yi beforehand, remained calm.

This scene fell into the eyes of the group of important figures, and they could not help but secretly marvel.

It seemed like the people under Lin Yi weren’t as simple as they thought.

“The announcement is complete. Hundred seedlings, please leave the stage. Number one, Lin Yi, will stay and begin the selection of rules.”

The order of the selection was completely in accordance with the Hundred Seedlings List.

In other words, Lin Yi, who was ranked first, had absolute priority. He could choose any rule to bind himself to.

Of course, in name, it was free to choose, but in reality, it was not just a random choice.

It was a very simple principle. Under the circumstances, the top 500 companies in the world could indeed consider giving you dividends, but at the same time, they must also ensure that you would not take the opportunity to interfere in the company’s core business.

At the very least, I can’t let you affect their absolute control over the company!

If the Hundred Seedlings hadn’t thought of this, they would’ve been randomly chosen from the start. The most likely outcome would’ve been that they would’ve been controlled by the other party after the matter, becoming a tool through and through.

It was better to die than to live.

Therefore, instead of saying that the Hundred Seedlings were picking the rules, it was more accurate to say that the interest groups behind the rules were picking them instead.

In fact, before today, even though the officials had already cut off all contact between the Hundred Seedlings and the various factions, many of the elites of the Inner Court, represented by Bai Shizu, had already been decided in advance.

The real variable was Lin Yi and the other outsiders from the six lands.

Of course, even people like Lin Yi had connections with the seven kings in the dark. They weren’t strangers.
