At this moment…
“Lin Bai, why are you still here? The selection is about to begin.”
Bai Mingyue unexpectedly appeared outside the door and was instantly stunned on the spot.
Feng Jinxiu glanced at Bai Mingyue. “Don’t you know that you should knock on the door before coming in?”
“Hey, I… ” Bai Mingyue quickly turned around. “What selection? The guards’ selection?”
Lin Bai walked to Bai Mingyue’s side and asked.
Bai Mingyue turned around.
“Hehe, then don’t be anxious. Come over.” Lin Bai patted Bai Mingyue’s head and said.
An hour later…
Lin Bai was wearing a black-blue black-gold battle suit and walked out of the Human Emperor Palace in high spirits.
Behind him, Bai Mingyue wiped her mouth and pouted as she looked at Lin Bai grumpily.
“Human Emperor!”
In the hall of the Divine Martial Palace, Wood Star Master Verus and Abyssal Water Star Master Hua Ye walked forward respectfully.
The Divine Martial Palace was one of the 19 palaces within the Human Imperial Palace.
This place was mainly used to select the guards of the Human Emperor Palace. It was named after Lin Bai, who was once known as the Divine Venerable Martial.
Ever since Earth was upgraded to a major planet, the Human Emperor Guards in the Human Emperor’s Palace had yet to be established.
Lin Bai did not have the time to care.
Verus and Hua Ye were the examiners.
Lin Bai nodded slightly and turned to look at the two hundred people in the hall.
“Greetings, Human Emperor!” Everyone in the hall said in unison.
Lin Bai had already set the standards for the selection of the Human Emperor’s Guards.
One needed to be talented and have a clean background.
Talent is easy to understand, and there is no need for mediocrity in the palace. Those with complex backgrounds or flaws, such as those who were past enemies, will not be selected.
At this moment, these 300 elites who had been strictly selected looked at Lin Bai with reverence.
In the second row, Sun Jia and Wu Qingqing, who were dressed in military uniforms, had their hearts racing.
Especially the former, who was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
Her beautiful face was filled with nervousness.
Wu Qingqing was equally nervous.
However, when she, Sun Jia, and the other chosen ones arrived at the Human Emperor Palace, they saw those Martial Emperors whose auras were enough to suffocate her, and the reverence in her heart grew stronger.
The moment Lin Bai and Bai Mingyue stepped in, the two women’s minds were almost completely controlled by nervousness.
This tension stemmed from the arrival of the powerhouse. They were nervous about the human gods and the great power that controlled countless intelligent lives.
Lin Bai examined everyone.
His gaze finally landed on Wu Qingqing and Sun Jia.
The two women stood up straight, their bodies tensed up. Their faces were filled with reverence.
Sun Jia tried her best to calm herself down, but after seeing Lin Bai, she still subconsciously lowered her head.
Wu Qingqing did not even dare to raise her head.
“Give me the information.”
Lin Bai and Bai Mingyue sat on the main seat of the Divine Martial Palace and said.
“I’ve sent it to you, Sir,” Verus replied respectfully.
Lin Bai nodded. With a light tap, a three-dimensional projection immediately appeared in front of him.
With Lin Bai’s current strength and the strength of his Chaos Divine Body, he could remember the information of these 300 people with just a glance.
Then, Lin Bai turned off the bracelet and said indifferently, “The three hundred of you may not be the final candidates. Elder Hua Ye and Elder Verus should have already informed you of the rules.”
Everyone nodded.
In the crowd, Sun Jia and Wu Qingqing dared to look at Lin Bai carefully like the others. They were so nervous that they almost fainted.
“Alright, Hua Ye, Verus, these people’s information is correct. You guys are in charge of the subsequent assessment!” Lin Bai said to the two of them. Hua Ye and Verus immediately said respectfully, “Yes, sir!”
It was worth mentioning that Zhou Zheng and Linghu Haichuan had already become Venerable Martials and were both working in the Human Emperor
Palace.
After everything was done, Lin Bai stood up. “Sun Jia, Wu Qingqing, you two can stay here. The others can leave.”
Lin Bai’s sudden words stunned everyone.
Sun Jia and Wu Qingqing widened their eyes in disbelief and ecstasy.
The other candidates looked at the two women enviously.
To be left alone with the Human Emperor… Just as the rumors said, the two of them had a close relationship with the Human Emperor! Thinking of this, everyone’s envy grew even stronger.
“Alright!”
Sun Jia felt this earth-shattering joy. She tried her best to calm down and nodded repeatedly to express her gratitude.
At this moment, Wu Qingqing was like a drunk fairy, her entire body was like smoke, ethereal and uncertain.
Heavens!
When everyone left, Wu Qingqing was still in shock.
Sun Jia bit her red lips, her chest heaving up and down, her heart almost jumping out of her chest.
Lin Bai sat on the golden and resplendent main seat. His smile carried a mysterious meaning as he looked at the two women.
“The two of you have improved quite a bit. Both of you have become Great Grandmasters.”
Lin Bai’s words finally brought Wu Qingqing back to her senses.
Her bright eyes sparkled with excitement.
“Your Excellency, you’re flattering me too much,” Sun Jia said somewhat cautiously.”
Being left behind by Lin Bai alone, they did not dare to have any extravagant hopes in their hearts.
Moreover, it was precisely because the others had left that Sun Jia felt the supreme domineering aura emitted from Lin Bai’s body even more.
It was an aura that only supreme beings possessed!
It was the divinity produced by the admiration of billions of living beings.
At this moment, Lin Bai was like a god in the hearts of the two women, while they were only women in the mortal world.
In fact, Lin Bai did not keep the two women because of his preferences.
His relationship with Sun Jia and Wu Qingqing was only superficial.
The reason why he kept them was because the Faith Power provided by the two women was too powerful.
As the Lord of the Earth, Lin Bai did not have to worry about loyalty.
As long as one had faith and respect for him, the Faith Power would emerge.
The higher the degree of reverence, the stronger the Faith Power and the higher the degree of loyalty.
It was precisely because of this and because they knew each other that Lin Bai kept the two girls.
“Sir, you flatter me.”
Wu Qingqing, who had vowed to kiss Lin Bai forcefully previously, no longer had that thought in her mind at the moment.
She only felt an endless sense of honor and joy.
Lin Bai examined the expressions of the two women and said indifferently, “All of you will guard the Human Emperor Palace in the future, but whether you can stay there forever will depend on your performance.”
“Oh, oh, oh!”
The two girls nodded excitedly.
The Human Emperor Guards were responsible for the security of the entire palace. In the future, they would also be Lin Bails trusted aides and core strength.
Among the 300 newly selected guards, not everyone had the chance to stay in the Human Emperor Palace.
Among all the halls and palaces, only the Human Emperor Palace was where Lin Bai stopped the most.
“Sir, please rest assured that we will definitely work hard!”
Sun Jia’s heart was surging with passion.
Only those who advanced to the Venerable Martial Realm could stay here. They were still a distance away from the Venerable Martial Realm.
“Yes.” Lin Bai nodded and did not say anything else.
At this moment…
“My Lord!”
Wu Qingqing mustered up her courage and looked up at Lin Bai.
“What?” Lin Bai was confused.
Wu Qingqing’s breathing quickened, and her chest heaved up and down. Her heart was throbbing like waves.
Under Lin Bai’s gaze, Wu Qingqing was so nervous that she almost could not speak.
However, she understood that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If she missed it, she might not have another chance in the future and would regret it for the rest of her life.
Beside her, Sun Jia seemed to have guessed what Wu Qingqing was going to do. She was also so nervous that her chest was heaving up and down.
“Lord, I have tattooed your name on my chest!”
Wu Qingqing threw caution to the wind and directly said what was on her mind..
