"What?"
While Lin Yun was utterly speechless, Wenren Yu was smiling. He didn't know what made Sui Wenyan changed her mind, but it was good for him. With someone like Sui Wenyan to help protecting Lin Xiao, the brat should be saver.
Most importantly, Lin Xiao would be able to have decent training partner now.
"So suddenly?" Lin Xiao was also surprised.
Sui Wenyan looked at Lin Xiao and sighed."To be honest, your movements and skills reminded me to my sect back then and how I used to spar with my senior brother and sisters and also junior brother and sisters."
The mention of the sect pained Lin Xiao's heart. While he knew that the cause was human's greed, the one that triggered it was the Emperor Inheritance. The damned inheritance that he got coincidentally.
Wait, not coincidental.
Maybe fated?
Whatever, Lin Xiao already felt bad whenever he talked about that annoying inheritance that he got from the lake.
Inside his consciousness, Lin Hu opened his eyes and looked at Lin Xiao. There was faint coldness within his eyes but he didn't try to talk with Lin Xiao. After all, not everyone wanted to be thrown into the whirlpool of power without having the necessary power to protect themselves.
"Then..."
"I'm just thinking. If you become the Emperor, can you let me build Taiyi Sect back?" Sui Wenyan asked straightforwardly. She was always very blunt and this time, it was not an exception.
Hearing that question, Lin Xiao looked at Sui Wenyan in disbelief. After thinking for a while, he nodded."If that's what you wish, I'll grant it."
"Good."
Sui Wenyan smiled happily. The bright smile on her face was just like the sun that appear after rainy days. It was so beautiful and enchanting, attracting whoever saw the smile. No one would be able to resist the temptation of a beauty.
Wenren Yu looked at Sui Wenyan and smiled lightly. It seemed that they have the same thinking. Both of them loved Taiyi Sect deeply because for them, it was their home. The two of them no longer have any parents when they reached Taiyi Sect and because of that, everyone inside the Taiyi Sect was just like family to them.
Because of that, when their family members were murdered so cruelly, all they could think was why and what they wanted was to build back the family to the way it was before.
"Other princes won't agree to it?" Lin Xiao asked in low tone.
Sui Wenyan shook her head."I already talked with Prince Lin Kai. That bastard didn't even think twice before saying that Taiyi Sect is better off disappear. I wish I can make him swam in the river filled with dirt."
The agitation within Sui Wenyan's face was clear. Some of the princes didn't like Taiyi Sect because that sect's special position in Sun Kingdom. The fact that the location of the Emperor Inheritance was only known to the people in Taiyi Sect was already more than enough to make the princes annoyed.
After all, Taiyi Sect would never divulge the information.
What they did was only to wait and patiently watched from the sidelines for the chosen one to appear. Only then would they pledge their allegiance and make sure that they would be able to stand firm in this kingdom.
Unfortunately, this time they failed miserably.
Despite the fact that their leader was already at Golden Core Stage, it was also a fact that their enemies outnumbered them and overwhelmed them with power.
"I'll help you when there's a chance, " Wenren Yu added. He was also angry that someone wished for the downfall of Taiyi Sect.
Sui Wenyan smiled."Now, let's go to the auction house. There are some things that I want to talk about."
"Yes?"
"Long Yin Forest."
Lin Xiao's expression turned serious. He took out a medicine from his Spatial Ring to make himself look more presentable. If he still looked like a pig when he entered the auction house, he would lose a lot of face.
Sui Wenyan studied their expression and nodded when she realized that they understood the significance of the place."Our seniors won't be able to participate because they're already above 20 years old. I'm already at my last year too when it's New Year, so it's my last chance."
"But you're already Foundation Establishment. Didn't it mean that you will be able to get the place?" Lin Xiao asked in bewilderment.
"It's not that simple. What they will observe is not only your current rank but also your age. The younger you are, the more valuable you will be, " Sui Wenyan replied. It was then she recalled something. She turned her head to look at Lin Xiao."Speaking of which, how old are you? I only know that you must be under 20."
"I'm 17. That man is 18 or 19?"
"I'm 19, " Wenren Yu replied. He looked at Sui Wenyan, thinking that not long after the New Year examination, it would be Sui Wenyan's 21st birthday. It meant that this was truly the last examination she could ever take.
"17 years old, Body Training Rank 10." Sui Wenyan nodded. After their exchange, she came to realize that the plate they had was wrong. This group purposely hid their real rank and only showed the lower one.
"It's not that bad but not that good either."
"What's Prince Lin Kai's rank?" Lin Xiao never managed to get close enough to Prince Lin Kai to figure out the man's real rank. All he knew was that the man must be quite powerful to be able to be one of the leading figure.
Sui Wenyan pursed her lips."18 years old, Foundation Establishment. Don't get me wrong, he had already advanced to Foundation Establishment more than a year ago. At that time, he had just turned 17."
Lin Xiao: "..." and you're saying that he's the last in the list?
Lin Yun: "..."
Wenren Yu: "..."
