Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 341: Specialized Weapon

Ask him...

Lin Xiao was stupefied that Marquis Hu would be looking in his direction when he said that sentence. It felt as if the marquis had already figured out his identity and had no qualms of speaking about it.

Not only Lin Xiao, even Prince Lin Yan was wary of this middle aged man. Marquis Hu was known to be a person who was obsessive with martial arts and often disappeared for seclusion. The place he picked was always unknown to many other people and despite being a noble, he rarely appeared in public.

It was a known fact that many people from Hua Lan Kingdom knew.

But if he were to find out about Lin Xiao’s real identity, would he try to kill Lin Xiao? That was something that Prince Lin Yan was worried about.

At their current strength, they wouldn’t be able to do anything even if they ganged up to attack Marquis Hu together.

Princess Lan Yi Hua took a deep breath. "He won’t harm him. Thank you for your kind offer, Marquis Hu."

Lin Xiao looked at Princess Lan Yi Hua but she didn’t explain to him. It was only after they had walked out of the room that they felt the oppressive aura disappeared. The power that Marquis Hu accidentally showed to them was one that they could not contend easily.

"Xiao Hua..." Lin Xiao called.

Princess Lan Yi Hua took a deep breath. "Marquis Hu is one of the pillars of Hua Lan Kingdom and naturally, he’s also very familiar with ancient power."

She knew this for sure because she had seen his contemplative look when he looked at both her and her sister. At that time, she still didn’t understand much but she figured out later that he had some kind of ability that would allow him to see through the layer of guise.

It was similar with Eyes of Truth but it was even more powerful.

"Did he...?" Lin Xiao wanted to ask about it but he didn’t dare to speak about the matter. Unless one was sure that they would be save, one should never speak about the Emperor’s Inheritance.

"No." Princess Lan Yi Hua shook her head resolutely. She glanced at Lin Xiao. "Your aura had faded a bit, which makes it a bit unclear."

At that word, Prince Lin San also used his Eyes of Truth at Lin Xiao. He was stunned when he sensed that the Dragon Power within Lin Xiao’s body had decreased a lot. It didn’t seem to be any different than him or his older brothers now.

Even if Lin Xiao were to appear with this kind of power, it was clear that he wouldn’t attract any attention at all.

"Xiao, this..."

"I learn a method to conceal it." Lin Xiao shrugged, not wanting to explain too much.

Prince Lin San was speechless when he heard that. Was he the only one who didn’t get much benefit from that Secret Region? The others seemed to be growing even more powerful after they had returned back from that place.

"But this favor."

"That... might be because of me." Princess Lan Yi Hua’s eyes gleamed. She looked at the back and sighed. "He must have realized of my lofty dream and our relationship."

Back when she met him in the palace before she departed to Sun Kingdom, Marquis Hu was one of the few officials who were looking at her with kind look. He didn’t seem to be giving her scornful look like what many others would do and instead gave her kind look that seemed to be saying something else.

She didn’t understand why but he looked more in favor of her than her sister, totally unlike many others who only saw her as nothing more than a burden and a weak cultivator who could never go against her sister.

"What? He realized that I was courting..."

Bletak!

"You better keep your voice down." Prince Lin San stopped Lin Xiao before the young man declared to the entire world that he was trying to court Princess Lan Yi Hua. It was already embarrassing enough to hear him openly confess his feeling so bluntly from time to time.

Added with the dog food, Prince Lin San always wanted to beat up Lin Xiao once for this.

Now, this punch felt really good!

Lin Xiao looked at his twin brother resentfully. He was thinking whether it was clear that he was trying to court Princess Lan Yi Hua or not. Did he give away something?

Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at Lin Xiao, who was trying hard to think, and a smile tugged at the corner of her lips. He might not realize it himself but the distance when someone stood with other people speak a lot about that person’s relationship with others.

Kreet!

Prince Lin Yan opened the door and saw Hu Fei crouching near the table in his workshop. It seemed that he was determined to hide when he saw his father was near.

"Your hiding place sucks."

"Do you really think I can hide from him?" Hu Fei was speechless. It was already good enough if his father didn’t come and drag him to the training room to beat him up. The memory of him being beaten up senseless resurfaced once more as he grimaced.

He didn’t want to repeat that ever again.

Prince Lin Yan sighed and looked at Xia Ye. "Ask him to make your weapon first."

Xia Ye nodded and showed a lump of metal that he took out from his Spatial Ring. He looked at Hu Fei. "Is this enough?"

Hu Fei’s eyes shone when he saw the metal that Xia Ye was holding. "AHhhhhhh! That’s Darkened North Metal! It’s one of the rare metals that will be rarely seen! Damn it! How did you manage to get something so good?"

Xia Ye blinked. "I was lucky."

"Tsk." Hu Fei clicked his tongue. Right now, he completely forgot that he also got some kind of good metals from the Secret Region when he was with Lin Xiao. "Don’t worry, I’ll make the good weapon for you. One edge, thin and the length is..."
