Chapter 125 - 113: The Fall of the Eagle (Part 3)
Lin Yuan ascended the steps, one by one, heading towards the fourth floor.
As he entered the second floor, Yi Shu was instructed to invite Lin Yuan to meet Ao Daguang in person.
"Senior Brother Lin, the Hall Master insists you must come to the fourth floor." Yi Shu looked down at Lin Yuan slowly walking up the stairs, saying with a smile.
Lin Yuan ignored him and continued forward.
In merely a few breaths, he passed by this person and stepped onto the third floor.
"Lin Yuan’s martial strength is certainly impressive, but he’s too upright and straightforward in character, and far too proud."
Yi Shu followed upstairs, looking at Lin Yuan’s figure, with three parts admiration, two parts pity, and five parts mockery.
"Under the eaves, one must bow their head. No matter how talented you might be, you’re merely at the Qi-Blood stage, and without any family background for support, where’s the arrogance coming from to challenge a congealing Yuan elder?" Yi Shu couldn’t help but shake his head.
He too had outstanding martial talents, and started just like Lin Yuan, but after hitting a wall, he’d understood.
To stand out, one must curry favor, must shed empathy, must be ruthless to oneself, and even more ruthless to others.
Only then can one climb up, and after climbing high enough, continue aiming for even higher places.
