"Now, now, you've been talking for so long while the others are already calling." Prince Lin San smiled."Would you like to continue fighting and lose your chance to earn easy money?"
Even though he was smiling, there was a threat beneath his words. Of course, he would not mind fighting against them like what Lin Xiao did, but he would have to make sure that the time was right.
Fighting in front of the crowd like this... was certainly a big no.
The men furrowed their brows. They noticed that the others were already preparing to depart, so they quickly turned back. One of them still snorted."Consider yourself lucky this time!"
"Are you sure I'm the lucky one and not you?" Lin Xiao muttered. His eyes gleamed coldly for he disliked those people who only knew how to act big and looked down on others who have lower rank than them.
Prince Lin San patted Lin Xiao's shoulder."Now, now, do you really plan to fight them?"
"Hmm? I can easily evade them." Lin Xiao shrugged."There's no fight to begin with if they can't even hit me."
He had been focusing his dragon power on his legs so far and the result has been quite good. Also, there were still a lot of dragon power coursing in his body that he distributed evenly because he hadn't thought of which part that he specifically wanted to strengthen so far.
Even without relying on Moon Evasion, Lin Xiao was confident that he could easily outrun those people.
Prince Lin San was speechless.
"The troublemaker and peacemaker." Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at the two of them as her lips curled up to form an amused smile. It seemed that Prince Lin Yan didn't assign them that task for nothing.
"I'm not a troublemaker!" Lin Xiao repeated, exasperated.
But upon looking at how the others were looking at him, he gave up trying to save his name. they would certainly not believe him no matter what he said. It would be better for him to not say anything else at this point.
Tsk.
Prince Lin Yan returned not long afterwards. He sensed that they were all looking at Lin Xiao with a scorn and could already guess what had happened."We're going to depart soon. We'll be staying near the back."
"Near the back?" Lin Xiao asked in confusion.
"It's the safest location or at the very least, we won't need to fight too much. Besides, coming into contact with those experts might not end well for us in this case."
They were planning to enter Lan Hua Kingdom secretly and not to make trouble.
"Got it."
"Do you really understand?" Prince Lin San looked at his twin brother with suspicions.
"Yes!" Lin Xiao nodded as his eyes gleamed. It meant that they had to be covert in whatever they were doing.
"it's good if you understand then."
They all quickly blend in with the group. There was barely anyone at the back of the group and many were trying to swarm in the middle. They were naturally trying to make sure that they strike good impression with the important person.
Looking at those people trying so hard to win affection of others, Lin Xiao's lips twitched.
"Why do I feel like I'm seeing a drama right now."
"You can just say it like that." Prince Lin San was not willing to pay attention to those people and instead looked out to the forest. They had just come out of the city and will soon reach the border.
At that time, they could rely on their identity as escort to pass the gate.
"What kind of place is the gate?" Lin Xiao asked.
Pfft!
They turned their head and saw a young man standing there. He didn't look much older than Lin Xiao but he was wearing thick fur clothes as if it was cold there. When the temperature was so hot like this, his appearance did look strange.
But cultivator was not one to pay attention to temperature. With their Qi, they could easily block their sense and even if the temperature was slightly colder or hotter, it made no difference to them.
Lin Xiao furrowed his brows."Is there anything wrong, Brother?"
"No, it's just a bit funny that you're asking what kind of place the gate is." The young man shook his head and grinned."It can't be your first time seeing the gate, is it?"
"It's the first time."
"Wow, you must be living in such secluded area!"
Lin Xiao: "..." while it was also true, his fake identity was that of a noble child. And the Hu Family was from Hua Lan Kingdom, right?
Just as Lin Xiao was thinking for a way to retort, Prince Lin San had stepped forward."It's like this, he fainted when we're passing the gate back then, so he didn't see how majestic the gate can be. Haih, my twin brother is really troublesome."𝐟𝗿𝒆𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝒏oѵ𝒆𝒍 - 🅽🅽novel
Lin Xiao: "..." no! My image.
Princess Lan Yi Hua was trying so hard to restrain her laughter when she saw Lin Xiao was trying hard to not retort. It was clear that he was unable to accept that he was reduced to weaklings in Prince Lin San's word.
As if he would faint that easily.
The young man nodded in understanding."I see. There's really nothing special about the gate honestly. You can just see it as a high wall of stones with people guarding from both sides. It'll only open twice a day so you need to be in the right place at the right time."
"Thank you for your explanation..." Lin Xiao's tone was a bit rigid.
"Oh I haven't introduced myself. I'm Wei Mu, a traveler and also mercenary."
"Hu Xiao."
"Hu San."
"This two are Xiao Hua and also Hei Ye." Lin Xiao took the opportunity to introduce the other two to keep them not speaking to others easily.
The young man named Wei Mu looked at them with curiosity.
