The Retired Emperor's face bore no smile, his slightly pale face very solemn, with piercing eyes that directly gave off an oppressive feeling to Zhou Shuren.
Zhou Shuren felt tense at his back, thinking that if he weren't used to the imposing aura of the Retired Emperor, he would definitely panic.
The Retired Emperor withdrew his aura, "You're not from a noble family; your status on a local level is decent, but your vision and thoughts shouldn't be nurtured by the Zhou family."
Sometimes, one must admit the impressive upbringing of noble families, for the vision of the children of noble families is accumulated over generations, it cannot be learned if desired, this is the foundation, the heritage, and the wisdom.
Zhou Shuren relaxed his mind, knowing full well that the Retired Emperor would investigate him thoroughly, and if not for the blood ties of the Rong clan, the Retired Emperor would not trust him as much as he does now.
