"Brother Lin Hao, why don't you join our Wudang Mountain? With your strength, you are well-deserved of the position of deputy headmaster." Master Wang Ye was not willing to be left behind. He looked at Lin Hao with a smile, his eyes flashing with anticipation.

"Brother Lin Hao, come to our Maoshan. The position of our deputy headmaster has been vacant for a long time, and we are waiting for a genius like you." Elder Zhang Daoxuan was equally unwilling to be outdone, and his words were full of sincerity and invitation.

"Brother Lin Hao, we at Longhu Mountain are also in need of a deputy headmaster like you."

Master Lei Zhentian smiled proudly, his tone filled with sincerity that brooked no refusal, "The gates of Longhu Mountain are always open to you. Your strength and courage are exactly what we need."

"Brother Lin Hao, as long as you join our Yuxu Palace, the position of our Palace Master will belong to you!" Master Zi Yu said shockingly.

"Alright, stop arguing!" Tuoba Yun spoke up at the right moment, interrupting the scramble. A faint smile played on his lips, but his eyes betrayed a sense of authority that should not be underestimated. "Brother Lin Hao, join us, the Protectors of the Nation! We Protectors are directly under the leadership of the nation's Number One Commander, and we enjoy the best benefits. You could spend them in several lifetimes!"

We are free and unfettered. We will only take action when the country is threatened. We are not like those big sects, which have too many trivial matters and are in a mess. There is no freedom at all."

"Um... this..." Faced with the sudden influx of invitations, Lin Hao was momentarily caught off guard. He hadn't expected his single move to attract so much attention and favor. All eyes converged on him, filled with anticipation, desire, and a subtle hint of nervousness.

Lin Hao paused, his gaze sweeping across everyone's faces before finally settling on Lin Han. He looked at his eldest brother, as if seeking some guidance or advice. Lin Han smiled gently in response and shook his head slightly, indicating that he should follow his own heart.

"Excuse me, everyone. I just want to stay with my eldest brother and don't want to join any faction or organization."

Lin Hao scratched his head a little embarrassedly, with a hint of apology and determination in his tone.

Upon hearing this, everyone showed regret on their faces, but then expressed understanding. After all, a young talent like Lin Hao, with extraordinary talent and strength, naturally had his own pursuits and choices.

"Haha, it's okay, everyone has their own aspirations!" Wu Hao smiled brightly and patted Lin Hao on the shoulder, his eyes full of admiration and respect for him. "However, little brother Lin Hao, no matter when and where you need us, the door of the Tiger Group is always open to you."

"Yes, little brother Lin Hao, Wudang Mountain also welcomes you at any time." Master Wang Ye added with a smile, his eyes revealing sincerity and expectation.

"It's the same with Maoshan. The position of deputy headmaster can be yours as long as you are willing." Elder Zhang Daoxuan's words were filled with unquestionable sincerity, as if Lin Hao could immediately possess the supreme honor as long as he nodded.

"The gate of Longhu Mountain is also open to you. Little brother Lin Hao, your future is limitless." Master Lei Zhentian's heroic words echoed in the air, carrying a power that could not be ignored.

True Man Zi Yu also smiled slightly, "Little Brother Lin Hao, we at Yuxu Palace also welcome you to come. If you change your mind one day, the position of Palace Master will still be there waiting for you to sit!"

Seeing this, Tuoba Yun's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. He patted Lin Hao on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Brother Lin Hao, I respect your choice. But remember, no matter where you are, your abilities are a valuable asset to the country. Although the Protector of the Nation cannot force you to join, when the country needs you, I hope you can step forward."

"Well...thank you all for your appreciation! I will definitely be there if you need me in the future."

Lin Hao nodded solemnly, his eyes flashing with determination and gratitude.

Ying Jue and Ying Mei recovered from their shock, looked at each other, and quietly left. They planned to report the situation here in detail to Lin Cangxuan, Lin Han's grandfather.

Lin Han noticed the two people leaving, but didn't care too much.

Then he slowly walked to Yan Lili's side and said with a smile: "Miss Jasmine, I'm sorry, I won. It seems that there is no fate between us, so hehe..."

"Mr. Lin! You..."

Yan Lili was so angry that her cheeks turned red and her eyes widened. She was about to refute, but was speechless for a moment.

"Shame on you! It was clearly your brother who did it. What does it have to do with you? So I win this round. According to the bet, you have to marry me."

She changed the subject, with a bit of cunning and unwillingness to admit defeat, trying to turn the situation around.

"Haha... little girl, I knew you were going to cheat." Lin Han laughed inwardly, but remained expressionless. He then turned to Wu Hao and Old Yan and said, "Old Yan, Brother Wu Hao, look at this girl. She clearly lost, but she's still trying to cheat with me. It's really giving me a headache."

"Brother Hao...his younger brother was the one doing the fighting the entire time, and he just stood there watching. This can't be considered his win at all!"

Yan Lili stamped her feet unwillingly and looked at Wu Hao coquettishly, trying to find some support.

Wu Hao laughed heartily upon hearing this, patted Lin Han on the shoulder and said, "Advisor Lin, this is your charm. However, bets are bets, and we still have to abide by the rules. Lily, your trick of transplanting flowers and trees is not very clever."

"Although my brother was the one who attacked throughout the whole process, I was the one who made the final kill, so I won, no problem."

Lin Han raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, with a cunning glint in his eyes. His words were neither hurried nor slow, but every word made sense and made it impossible to refute.

"You..." Yan Lili was so angry that her cheeks puffed up like a little lion about to explode.

"Grandpa... you have to judge for me? It's obviously him..."

Seeing this, Elder Yan couldn't help but laugh. He stroked his beard gently, his eyes full of kindness and smiles. He slowly said, "Lily, although the bet is a small matter, integrity is the foundation of a person. The agreement between you and Consultant Lin has been made, and it should be abided by. As for the process, it doesn't matter. The result is set, and you are the winner."

"Master Yan is truly wise. Unlike someone who clearly lost but still insisted on being stubborn."

Lin Han interrupted at the right time, his words were a bit teasing, but he was still graceful, which made the people around him laugh.

"You..." Yan Lili was surrounded by laughter, her cheeks flushed, ashamed and angry, but helpless. She glared at Lin Han, and finally stomped her feet unwillingly, muttering, "Humph, you are so cruel!"
