Sui Wenyan and Princess Lan Yi Hua both helped Fan Ling and Xia Ye up. Xia Ye had fallen unconscious while Fang Ling was wounded. It was a battle of six versus three and Xia Ye was the weakest one, so she had to try covering for him. Unfortunately, they were unlucky enough and Xia Ye slipped.
Fan Ling could only try to hold on to him while grabbing the rocks to prevent their fall. She felt that she was so useless at this point.
When they were up, they saw the scene when Lin Xiao stabbed Prince Lin Kai. Their eyes widened in shock.
"Lin Xiao, don't kill him!" Princess Lan Yi Hua rushed over to Lin Xiao. If Lin Xiao killed someone in the academy, he would be expelled immediately. It was not worth it to lose his chance to study for a scum like him.
Lin Xiao withdrew his sword. There was only very little stain of blood in his sword and Prince Lin Kai's face contorted as he screamed.
"Ah, ah, ah, my Qi! NOoooo!"
Princess Lan Yi Hua was stunned and then looked at Prince Lin Kai. It was then she realized that Lin Xiao didn't kill Prince Lin Kai. Instead, he was crippling the prince to make sure that the prince wouldn't do something like this again in the future.
But…
"I didn't kill him," Lin Xiao said coldly. There was no longer any easy going attitude in his face as he looked at Prince Lin Kai with murderous gaze. If only there were no one else around them and this was not Sun Dragon Academy, it was almost certain that Lin Xiao would kill Prince Lin Kai.
"You! How dare you!"
"I dare, so what are you going to do?" Lin Xiao asked back in cold tone. "You want to cripple my younger brother, so why can't I do the same to you?"
"AAAAAAAAA!" hatred was visible in Prince Lin Kai's eyes. Once one's dantian was cracked, it was hard for them to train and advance again. He knew this very well, which was why he felt so much despair right now.
His three brother surely wouldn't miss this chance because they had long wanted to kick him off the game.
Now that he had turned into a cripple, how could he become the Emperor?
"Let's go." Lin Xiao waved his hand. Staying here any longer and saw Prince Lin Kai's disgusting face, he feared that he would lose control and killed the other person. He crouched down and took Prince Lin Kai's token before destroying it. In less than one minute, a teacher would come here.
The others looked at each other and nodded before they followed Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao carried Lin Yun on his back while Sui Wenyan carried Xia Ye. Fan Ling was still capable to run, so she and Princess Lan Yi Hua both followed Lin Xiao by running.
From a distance away, they could see a teacher appearing near Prince Lin Kai and escorted him out. However, they have no intention to get closer and get involved.
"When he got out, I'm sure that he'll spread it to everyone about what you did," Princess Lan Yi Hua broke the silence.
Lin Xiao laughed coldly. "Let him be. If he dared to spout it, then let him be. I'm not afraid of offending the Royal Family."
He would offend them sooner or later. There was no difference at all offending them right now compared to later. As for the teacher, they would surely ask for the story from both of them and if they tried to oppress them, he would outtalk them.
Afraid? He would never be afraid of them. The only reason why he kept low profile was simply because he didn't want to bother with the problem so early.
"Contact Wenren Yu to come here faster. Guide him here if necessary," Lin Xiao gave his order then checked on Lin Yun.
"I'm fine, Brother. Just some bleeding." Lin Yun took out a medicine pill and popped it into his mouth. He had the necessary medicine. But it was only because of Prince Lin Kai that he had no chance to take it out.
Lin Xiao nodded then looked at Lin Yun over. He was only making sure that his brother didn't have any other complication. Only after he was certain that there was no problem did he check on Xia Ye. The others had already checked on him and gave him medicine pill. Xia Ye was unconscious due to the shock because the power he received was more than what his body could handle in the fight.
Even though he had already increased his strength, it seemed that it was not enough. Fighting against Body Training Rank 10 at merely Body Training Rank 9 might not always end well.
"What are we going to do now?" Sui Wenyan asked.
"We'll make use of this month to explore the forest." Lin Xiao looked at his younger brother and his eyes turned cold. "If those people try to make trouble, I'll deal with them after we return back."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Lin Xiao took out his Communication Jade. In case things went awry, he better informed Elder Wang about this matter first. While he might be a proud person, he would always prioritize his safety first.
And calling Elder Wang to let him handle the matter about the teachers, in case some of them favored Prince Lin Kai, would be the best method.
Fan Ling was ashamed at her inability to protect the others and volunteer herself to keep watch of them. While Lin Xiao was worried, he also needed to recover his Qi and chose to meditate. Making several moves all at once like that was quite draining.
'Your control over Mountain Sword is quite good, but I would like it more if you also learn skill that's related to the lake.' Lin Hu finally informed Lin Xiao when the young brat was recovering his strength.
