Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System Chapter 934 894: Xiao Linzi
You're kidding, a dignified man like myself, how could I possibly do that kind of thing?
Although that thing is enjoyable, Lin Yi would rather walk himself. After all, to him, taking a few steps is not a hassle; it's all benefits without any drawbacks.
Things like the palanquin, Lin Yi never considered it, not only won't he use it now, but he won't use it in the future either.
And after hearing Lin Yi's words, those soldiers carrying the palanquin quickly moved aside.
Yet, they were curious and puzzled inside, not knowing why this new king wouldn't sit in the palanquin.
It's worth mentioning, the previous You King would definitely sit in the palanquin when going out, even if it was just a few steps.
It was precisely because of this that they were shocked by the new You King's actions.
After all, to them, by common sense, no king would choose to walk on his own!
Although puzzled, they dared not resist, since the king had asked them to leave, they had to obediently leave.
Of course, not only were they curious, even the little eunuch who just spoke was exceedingly curious, after all, it was his first time seeing such a thing.
He was stunned at first, then quickly caught up with Lin Yi.
"What's your name? Where's the dining place? Lead the way ahead."
Being asked his name by the emperor, the little eunuch was suddenly excited, and quickly replied:
"To deceive the emperor, this servant is called Xiao Lin, and the dining place, the previous You King was always in the nearby Yishan Hall."
While speaking, the guy hurriedly walked to Lin Yi's front, starting to lead the way for Lin Yi.
However, upon hearing the name, Lin Yi couldn't help but rub his jaw.
Good grief, this little eunuch is actually called Xiao Lin.
Although he has no right to take away anyone's surname, the name Xiao Lin sounds awkward.
Especially when the person is a eunuch, it makes him feel uncomfortable:
"Xiao Lin? Is your surname Lin?"
When Lin Yi asked this, it was just a casual question, a subconscious inquiry.
Yet he was not prepared for the answer that left him feeling helpless.
"Replying to Your Majesty, this servant's surname is not Lin, this servant's original surname is Chen, but since this servant's surname is the same as the previous king, it was taboo, so I changed it to Xiao Lin."
After saying this, Lin Yi was even more taken aback, and he sighed helplessly in his heart.
Since the person's surname is Lin, he has no right to change it, even if the person is just a little eunuch, a surname is given by one's parents, he would never force a change.
But now, hearing the eunuch's words, he became helpless.
And he secretly spat in his heart at the previous You King, Chen Shiren.
This jerk actually forced someone to change their surname because it was the same as his, is this something a human would do?
Who knows what this guy was thinking.
Thus, he directly looked at the person and said:
"Oh, so your surname is Chen, haha, what's wrong with the surname Chen? Taboo, whose taboo? Is it worth it? Now, I give you the chance to return to your original surname, would you like to?"
Lin Yi spoke as he walked, and in his heart, he thought, since the person is not originally surnamed Lin, letting them return to their original surname is a good thing.
But while he thought about how this could be beneficial, he suddenly saw the eunuch leading the way suddenly kneel to the ground with a thud, his head bowing to the ground, and his body trembling with fear:
"S-se-s-servant dares not, servant begs for mercy, if servant did wrong, servant will amend it.
Servant is just a lowly life, how dare he change back to Chen.
Servant doesn't dare have such thoughts, servant feels his current surname is already good.
I beg Your Majesty for mercy."
While speaking, the emotional eunuch started sobbing.
After all, compared to life, changing a surname is really nothing.
Moreover, he has been a Lin for many years, he's used to it, why change back?
Even if, in doing so, he betrays his ancestors, lets down his parents, he sometimes fantasizes alone at night about returning to being a Chen, but compared to his safety, what is it now?
He thought Lin Yi's proposal was dissatisfaction, not pleased with the fact that he originally said his surname was Chen.
He believed Lin Yi was also surnamed Chen, given that Lin Yi had publicly claimed the title of Eldest Prince.
Wouldn't the Eldest Prince be surnamed Chen?
Clearly not, of course he's surnamed Chen, undoubtedly, and the fact that he's surnamed Chen, now as a eunuch saying his original surname is Chen, would surely anger Lin Yi.
Suddenly, the eunuch regretted deeply, wishing he could slap himself hard, how could he be so indiscreet?
Of all things, why say this?
He should have simply claimed to always be surnamed Lin.
Meanwhile Lin Yi, walking forward, was suddenly startled by the eunuch's actions.
He paused and curiously looked at the kneeling eunuch puzzled saying:
"What are you doing? Stand up!"
Upon being berated by Lin Yi, the eunuch started banging his head on the ground, which confused Lin Yi further.
Until Lin Yi spoke again urging him to get up, the eunuch shakily rose from the ground.
But those eyes were filled with fear.
"You thought I was angry? That I was joking?"
Seeing the eunuch stand, Lin Yi asked again, and upon hearing this, the eunuch shivered, briefly glanced at Lin Yi furtively.
Seeing Lin Yi's calm expression, he too grew slightly confused.
And it was at this moment, Lin Yi's voice rang again:
"I'm not joking, every surname is passed down by ancestors."
