If I reveal my identity now, what are the benefits?

  I can get Liu Shu's respect or some forces' support even if I don't reveal my true identity.

  If we really want to talk about the benefits, the biggest benefit is that I may not have to continue to be a low-level servant in the Shen Mansion.

  But the previous "Lin Yi" signed a five-year contract with the Shen Mansion, and there is still one year left.

  Even if I grow up now, the decision-making power is still in the hands of the Shen Mansion. Of course, I can also join a new force immediately and use the pressure of the new force to force the Shen Mansion to release people.

  But if so, it is equivalent to being an enemy of the Shen Mansion.

  Even if the Shen Mansion is generous and does not make an enemy of me, what can I get after joining a new force?

  The reason why forces like Ding Qiubai, Master Chen, and Tie Sandao are so eager to invite me to join is nothing more than valuing my own value.

  To win over valuable people and consolidate one's position is the inevitable way for a force to grow.

  However, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

  To gain more growth space and status from the new power, it is necessary to create more value for this power in exchange. This is the most basic transaction between people.

  At that point, I work hard for the new power, and many things are out of my control, which is equivalent to being controlled by others.

  Although I have written the best spiritual book and the earth book now.

  But after all, I don’t understand the power of this world. Take Liu Shu for example. If I want to kill him, it may just be a matter of raising my hand.

  In fact, I don’t have the capital to protect myself now.

  Simply put, without enough capital and strength, I can only rely on the new power for support, which is equivalent to the "working class" in the previous society.

  At best, it is a senior professional manager.

  Losing freedom and obeying others is what Lin Yi doesn’t want to do.

  If you choose to be tolerant temporarily

  The biggest disadvantage is that you still have to be a low-level servant in the Shen Mansion, but the advantage is that you don't need to rush to choose and join a new force, and continue to slowly accumulate strength as a low-level servant. When you have enough capital, you will have more room for choice.

  Even if you join another force, the constraints will not be as great as they are now.

  Besides, being a low-level servant who is a fox pretending to be a tiger under the second lady of the Shen Mansion, that super prodigal, is not worried about food and clothing, and it is still relatively easy to do chores.

  Uh, no, now I am a personal book boy.

  The grade has risen by one level

  And the main job has become to read for that super prodigal.

  Should I expose my identity and become a high-level worker, or should I slowly accumulate strength first and create my own space in the future?

  This multiple-choice question is not difficult.

  Even if you really want to reveal your identity and join a new force, you must at least wait until you come out of the ancient ruins, understand the power of this world, and have enough self-protection ability.

  Thinking of this, Lin Yi did not hesitate any more.

  "To reply to the head of the academy, my name is Mu Shuangyi" Lin Yi directly split the word Lin into Mu Shuang, and the word Yi was directly changed to Yi.

  "Mu Shuangyi, your surname is Mu" After hearing Lin Yi's name, Liu Shu's eyes also flashed with an imperceptible light.

  "Yes, my surname is Mu" Lin Yi did not notice the strange look in Liu Shu's eyes.

  "My God, his last name is Mu. He can't be..."

  "Don't talk nonsense, do you want to die? However, if his last name is Mu, it makes sense to me. No wonder he was able to write the Book of the Earth before entering the ancient ruins."

  "Surname Mu, that's..."

  The crowd also heard Lin Yi's words. When the three words Mu Shuangyi came out, a group of people couldn't help but take a breath.

  "Surname Mu" Ding Qiubai also opened his mouth wide at this time.

  In the Great Chu Dynasty, the surname Mu is not common, it can be said to be very rare, but if there is really someone with the surname Mu, it is definitely something that people have to pay attention to.

  "Surname Mu Mu Shuangyi"

  Chen Shi and Tie Sandao, who were standing aside, also looked at each other at this time. They saw the same expression of shock in each other's eyes.

  "Since we already know Mr. Mu's name, I will immediately let someone announce the list. Please follow me, Mr. Mu." Liu Shu quickly recovered after getting Lin Yi's confirmation.

  Since his last name is Mu, everything can be explained.

  It is not an exaggeration to describe this boy's talent as amazing. Liu Shu would not believe that there was no one to guide him.

  Such a person naturally received an education that ordinary people could not enjoy since childhood.

  To enjoy such an education, he must have a very powerful mysterious background.

  No wonder he never showed his true face.

  But since he has such an identity, why doesn't he know the divine text?

  Is there any other hidden secret?

  Although Liu Shu had some guesses in his mind, he didn't think much about it.

  "Okay, then can I join the literary class?" Hearing Liu Shu's words, Lin Yi was also a little excited.

  "Haha, this is naturally no problem, but before that, Mr. Mu must first enter the ancient ruins before he can officially join the literary class."

  Enter the ancient ruins first, then join the literary class. Lin Yi was a little surprised. In his heart, he always thought that he was qualified to enter the ancient ruins only after he first joined the literary class and was recognized by the Wenshu Academy.

  Unexpectedly, it was the opposite.

  What happened?

  "Everything is arranged by the head of the academy." Since Liu Shu said so, although Lin Yi was a little confused, he had no objection.

  He actually entered the ancient ruins first.

  I heard that as long as you enter the ancient ruins, you can open the spiritual wisdom "cave heaven" and truly enter the practice.

  I don't know what the "cave heaven" will look like.

  Lin Yi's heart was full of expectations.

  Seeing that Liu Shu was going to take Lin Yi into the ancient ruins, Ding Qiubai, Master Chen and others naturally did not dare to stop him. They hurriedly made way for a passage, and the guards of the academy consciously cleared the way for the two.

  Soon, under the leadership of Liu Shu, Lin Yi really stepped into the academy.

  It must be said that the decoration in the academy is still very exquisite. It is not so rich and magnificent, but every pot of flowers and the placement seem to be very natural, and the walls are made of mahogany partitions. In each partition, there is a weapon, and there are also some small amounts of calligraphy and pictures of mountains and rivers.

  The Wenshu Academy is full of weapons

  This is something Lin Yi had not thought of before entering the Wenshu Academy.

  "Mr. Mu, this is the entrance to the ancient ruins"

  At this time, Liu Shu also stopped.

  Then, he pointed to the stone door in front of him.

  Lin Yi's eyes were immediately fixed on the black stone door in front of him. The entire stone door was actually made of a piece of black stone, and the black rock was engraved with faint divine texts.

  However, the divine text on this black stone door seemed to be the same as the illusionary purple smoke furnace in Taigufang. It was under some kind of restriction, and it was impossible to see what was written on it.

  "Okay" Since he was here, Lin Yi had no need to hesitate.

  He walked directly into the black stone door.

  "Mr. Mu, please remember one thing, don't die in the ancient ruins." Just when Lin Yi had half a foot in, Liu Shu's voice came from behind.

  "If you die, your life will be in danger."

  Lin Yi was immediately shocked by this sentence.

  He came here to achieve success and fame and embark on the path of cultivation, but he never thought of risking his life to explore a forest full of poisonous snakes and beasts.

  "You won't really die, but you must not die, otherwise it will shake your foundation of the cave. Even if you are talented, it will be difficult to enter the great success of cultivation within ten years." Liu Shu knew that Lin Yi had misunderstood, and explained.

  You won't really die

  But it will be difficult to enter the great success of cultivation within ten years.

  Okay

  The meaning is very clear. Anyway, you can't die, but I am still powerless now. How can I guarantee that I will not die?

  "Is there any place in here that is particularly dangerous?" Lin Yi felt that since Liu Shu was willing to remind him, it would be better to ask more questions before entering.

  "The ancient ruins contain everything in the world. Every time you go in, the situation inside is different. So, I don't know. Anyway, Mr. Mu, remember one sentence. If it's empty, it's real, if it's real, it's empty. Don't go in rashly." Liu Shu said this and refused to say anything more.

  "Okay, thank you, Mr. Dean," Lin Yi thanked him.

  People have said so much, there is no point in asking more, Lin Yi didn't hesitate and stepped into the black stone door directly.

  With a bang, the black stone door closed automatically.

  "Mr. Dean, this Mu Shuangyi is really a royal family member," the man in black official robes following Liu Shu asked in a low voice after seeing Lin Yi go in.

  "How many people do you think have the surname Mu besides the royal family of our Great Chu Dynasty?" Liu Shu glared at the man in black official robes behind him.

  "But he's wearing a mask, and he doesn't even know the divine text. Could it be that he's a b*st*rd?"

  "Shut up. Maybe he's from a prince in the royal family. However, these are all secrets of the royal family. Remember not to ask, otherwise you'll get into trouble."

  "I understand."

  Lin Yi didn't hear the conversation between Liu Shu and the man in black robes and official uniforms outside. When his feet completely stepped into the black stone door, he felt as if he was surrounded by darkness.

  What's going on?

  Why is there nothing in this ancient ruins?

  Lin Yi was full of doubts, and at this moment, a ray of light seemed to light up above his head. Lin Yi subconsciously looked up, and then he saw a purple light as thick as a bucket instantly piercing the sky.

  The darkness seemed to be cut into a huge crack by this light.

  But why is this purple light getting closer and closer?

  "F*ck"
