NOVEL NEXT Chapter 761 Another Marriage Contract!_1
"What did you say?"
The King looked at Yin Tian with utter surprise. "You said that All-Encompassing Hall is a power under your control?"
"No, that's not right..."
The King shook his head. "All-Encompassing Hall is just what it's called in Central City, but the actual headquarters is called Know-It-All, an organization of the world. Moreover, I've just received news that Know-It-All has merged with several other top-ranking world forces, now known as Dragon Hall."
"Could you also be a person from the Dragon Hall?"
Looking at the King's peculiar gaze, Yin Tian nodded. "Indeed, I am from the Dragon Hall."
The King was visibly shocked by Yin Tian's words. "So, you're saying you're the person in charge of Know-It-All?"
"Actually..."
Yin Tian smiled awkwardly, a bit embarrassed. "The entire Dragon Hall is mine, and the name 'Dragon Hall' was also chosen by me."
The King was entirely at a loss for words.
Looking at the young man before him, the King found it all to be incredible.
Yin Tian was the Master of the Dragon Hall?
The mysterious person everyone in the world was investigating but could never find?
"Are you really not deceiving me?"
The King asked out loud.
"Why would I lie to you?"
Yin Tian retorted.
The King stared deeply at Yin Tian, and though he found it unbelievable, he still chose to trust Yin Tian.
"Alright, I believe you, but I need some time to process this."
The King said, falling silent.
After a while, the King looked at Yin Tian again. "Just now the State Preceptor... that person, he said he guessed your identity, and it seems you also have a very impressive master?"
"Yes."
Yin Tian nodded. "Indeed, I do. All the skills I have, including divining with the Eight Trigrams, Feng Shui Geomancy, medicine, and so on, were taught to me by my master."
Yin Tian could see that the King was definitely not an evil person, and now that they were on the same side, there was no need to deceive him.
The King was once again taken aback.
The skills that Yin Tian had just mentioned, how could they be so similar to someone the King knew?
That person from the past, who was also a Know-It-All, as if there was nothing he didn't know!
"Your master... wouldn't happen to be... Mr. Liang, right?"
The King looked at Yin Tian, his eyes filled with expectation.
Now it was Yin Tian's turn to be surprised.
He looked at the King incredulously. "How do you know about my master?"
"As I suspected! As I suspected!"
Delight appeared on the King's face. "I should've guessed, apart from that man, who else could have raised such a disciple!"
"You know my master?"
Yin Tian asked aloud.
"Know him? More than that."
The King's face showed a hint of emotion. "If it hadn't been for a single sentence from your master back then, it might not have been me sitting on this throne."
Yin Tian blinked.
He hadn't realized that his master had such a prominent presence in Central City, or even the Imperial City!
Not only had his master personally brought up the Chi Family, but he had also recommended the current King to his position!
"I never expected you to be his disciple..."
The King's look towards Yin Tian changed.
That look was like an elder beholding their most valued junior.
"Back then, I had three brothers, and my father, the Emperor, didn't know whom to choose. It just so happened that your master came and met my father, so my father consulted him."
The King's face showed a look of reminiscence. "I was only in my twenties that year, and your master wasn't much older than me. But I still clearly remember, his presence was like that of a celestial being, and even when facing my father, he was neither servile nor overbearing, speaking with great eloquence."
"Then, your master chose me, and my father immediately made me the Crown Prince, which gave me the right to sit in this position."
Yin Tian slowly nodded, but in his mind, he pictured his master always holding a smartphone, a crafty smile on his face as he watched livestreams.
He found it hard to reconcile the image of such a master with the miraculous person the King was talking about.
"Later, I even invited your master to stay in the palace. I was willing to appoint him as the Imperial Master, but your master had no intention of victory."
The King spoke, shaking his head helplessly. "He just left, and it was only later that the current State Preceptor came here. I never imagined that person actually wanted to take my life!"
Yin Tian remained silent.
If his master had stayed in the Imperial City back then, such an event would surely not have happened.
"Oh, right!"
The King suddenly remembered something and turned to walk towards a room in the royal chamber.
Before long, he brought out a brocade box.
Seeing the size of the brocade box, Yin Tian raised an eyebrow, a thought crossing his mind.
Could it be...
No, this couldn't be what he suspected it was, could it?
The King came over to Yin Tian and opened the box, then took out a well-preserved piece of paper.
"Later, your master came once more and said that since he had helped me before, now he needed my help."
"He left a marriage document, saying that in the future his disciple would come to marry my daughter."
