46: Chapter 46 Chen Baicheng 46: Chapter 46 Chen Baicheng The young Emperor could never have imagined that Lin Yi would recognize the seemingly obscure and difficult characters.
It is known that the characters on these Martial Arts Secret Manuals are rarely fully understood by anyone.
Being able to understand five or six levels, combined with a First-class Secret Manual, one could become a first-class expert.
As for someone like himself, even if possessing numerous dense texts, he could only comprehend three levels and barely qualify as a fourth-class expert.
In the great You Country, the number of all first-class experts combined is merely a handful.
Second-class experts are less than a hundred, and third-class experts less than a thousand.
All this because the Secret Manuals are too difficult to fully comprehend, making it likely for one to deviate and fall into madness.
At that time, all efforts would be in vain.
In severe cases, one might even lose their life.
This is the reason why the young Emperor is so shocked now.
At this moment, Lin Yi effortlessly began reading the sheepskin scroll named “Wave Riding Micro Steps.”
Because the characters on it were indeed the straightforward simplified Chinese.
Indeed, those mysterious characters that baffled the young Emperor and many experts were all in simplified script.
Also, because there is some overlap between simplified and traditional characters, some people could recognize a bit.
As Lin Yi read the small figures on the scroll aloud to himself, it seemed as though the figures in front of him started moving.
It appeared as though the little figure drawn on the scroll had come to life.
Dodging and weaving so vividly, Lin Yi was taken aback!
Rubbing his eyes hard and looking back at the scroll in his hands, the little figure was still moving continuously.
Am I losing my mind??]
Lin Yi was so scared that he quickly closed the scroll and hurriedly placed it back on the shelf.
As he closed the scroll, the dodging and weaving little figure finally disappeared.
But his memory was quite good; he unconsciously remembered all the movements.
Something’s not right!
Why do these characters look so familiar??]
After the image vanished, Lin Yi suddenly remembered something.
He hurriedly picked up another scroll, only to see the words “Golden Spear Seventy-Two Forms” written on it!
Seeing these six neatly written simplified characters, Lin Yi became even more certain of his thoughts.
He was also shocked beyond measure.
He didn’t expect that all the characters here would really be in simplified Chinese!
They really are the simplified characters from our place!
But how is this possible?
I’ve seen the writings here before, the old eunuch wrote things for the young Emperor, and it wasn’t in simplified script!
Could it be that I’m not the only one who time-traveled here??]
At this point, he was determined to find an opportunity to ask the young Emperor where these items came from.
Of course, while he was shocked, the young Emperor was even more astonished.
Especially after hearing Lin Yi say those characters were from his place, he was even more stunned.
It is known that all current Martial Arts Secret Manuals were treasures passed down from ancient times.
Each of them could be described as a treasure passing through centuries.
As for the subsequent copying and tracing, although there were some, they hardly retained much effect.
A third-class Secret Manual, once copied, might at best turn into something of the seventh or eighth class.
Copies of copies might even become non-classified or low-level Secret Manuals.
And these here were all absolutely genuine.
Of course, these were secondary.
What shocked the young Emperor most was Lin Yi’s true identity!
That phrase in Lin Yi’s mind revealed a lot of implications.
The most important point being that Lin Yi might be related to that ancient and powerful era.
Who exactly was he then??
Combining it with his initial mumblings when they first met, could he really be sent by the heavens for me?
The young Emperor couldn’t help but think this way, as everything Lin Yi displayed was too shocking.
Just through her observation, it seemed that Lin Yi himself was not very clear about it.
As the young Emperor thought this, and while Lin Yi was flipping through ‘Golden Spear Seventy-Two Forms’.
Suddenly, a noisy disturbance came from outside, followed by the small eunuch’s voice outside the door:
“Your Majesty, Commander Chen has arrived.”
This also instantly pulled back the young Emperor’s thoughts, simultaneously boosting her confidence.
This confidence was an affirmation of Lin Yi’s mysterious identity.
Thus, the young Emperor sorted her thoughts and then put on a stern face to say, “Come in.”
As her words fell, the doors of the Imperial Study Room were pushed open with a creak.
Following this was the sound of clinking armor collision.
Through the faint embroidery of the screen, Lin Yi vaguely saw a tall, burly man over 1.85 meters tall enter.
Although he couldn’t see the man’s face clearly, the faint oppressive aura was very palpable to Lin Yi.
This was enough to tell that the person was a formidable figure, at least able to take on ten men alone.
As this guy approached the young Emperor, he didn’t kneel but directly saluted with a fist and then loudly declared:
“This subordinate, Right Martial Guard Commander Chen Baicheng, greets Your Majesty!”
Just by his very robust voice, Lin Yi felt that this guy was definitely not easy to provoke.
This was also completely different from those eunuchs and Palace Maids he had encountered in the past few days.
Just as Lin Yi was internally noting how intimidating this guy was, the voice of the young Emperor also rang out:
“Minister Chen, there’s no need for formalities, someone, offer Commander Chen a seat.”
Upon hearing this, immediately a small eunuch brought over a cushion.
And Chen Baicheng unceremoniously knelt on it, but before the young Emperor could speak, he almost questioned her:
“May I know the purpose of Your Majesty summoning me?
I was on duty and dare not be careless.
If there is no urgent matter, I shall take my leave first!”
As these words came out, even Lin Yi couldn’t help but curse internally!
This guy really didn’t give the young Emperor any face!
