While Lin Xiao's face looked the same as usual, he was actually having a battle with a certain dragon inside his head. The others naturally didn't know that Lin Xiao was in such a heavy battle.
"So fast." Princess Lan Yi Hua was a bit surprised, but just a bit. She herself was actually also very fast but she never showed her speed. It was thanks to the ancient phoenix power that was coursing in her blood.
Long Hao was startled and smiled embarrassedly. "It's nothing. I'll use the Communication Jade now."
With that, Long Hao activated his Communication Jade and sent his presence inside. That way, his men would be able to track him soon.
After he was done, he looked at the group of four…eh, five in front of him. Prince Lin Yan was sitting on the tree and watched their surroundings calmly as if he was the watch keeper of the group.
"Thank you very much for your help." Long Hao cupped his hand as a sign of gratitude.
The others nodded.
"It's not a big deal."
Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at Long Hao and chuckled. "Little brother, don't run away from your family again next time."
"You should be careful as the world outside is not as peaceful as it looked like," Lin Xiao added.
Long Hao's face turned red. Did he really look like someone who was running away from home? He didn't run away from home, ah!
"I…I didn't run away from home! I was trapped then transported to this portion of this continent…."
"Where did you come from?" Lin Xiao asked curiously.
Long Hao blinked his eyes. "It's far away from here, Big Brother. I can't say it until you reach the place."
Eh?
Lin Xiao felt that the word 'I can't say until….' Seemed to be cursing him ever since he explored Hua Lan Kingdom.
Internally, Lin Hu was laughing out loudly. He shouted to Lin Xiao, "Serves you right for travelling the world without even proper power. Tsk, tsk, if it's not because you're currently training, I would have dragged you back to a safe place."
Lin Xiao: "…" you damn dragon!
"Alright, so, you come from Long Family?"
"How do you know?" Long Hao was astonished.
Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at the young brat and chuckled. "Your surname is Long."
"Oh…" Long Hao then realized that he had leaked out his surname and felt a bit bad. He scratched the back of his head. "Yeah, Long Family is a big family and there are a lot of members there. We're all also very powerful so competition amongst the younger generation is normal."
"Did you get sent here because of that internal competition?" Lin Xiao asked. He felt that it was fairly similar to how Lin Royal Family was at odds with each other because they were all aiming for the throne.
Unfortunately, only one person will ever get the throne in the end.
"Yeah, there's a battle." Long Hao looked at Lin Xiao with astonishment. He didn't expect others to be able to guess what had happened to him so quickly.
Lin Xiao rubbed his nose. Brat, you're the one who said it by yourself. I didn't even need to guess. For the first time in his life, Lin Xiao felt that he had met someone who might be a bit stupider than himself.
Princess Lan Yi Hua coughed a bit. "In that case, can you return back?"
"Oh, there's no need to worry, there'll be some people who will come to fetch me." Long Hao let out a faint smile.
"That's great."
"When they come, I'll give you reward for helping me."
"There's no need." Lin Xiao waved his hand. He was more curious about that Long Family but it might take a long time for him to even have the qualification to even reach there. For some reasons, he felt that he had another reason to grow stronger now.
He wanted to see the world and knew more about these eight dragons.
It was impossible that they were only made out of whim. There must be deeper reasons as to why this method was made in the first place.
"Eat more, you must be hungry."
"Mhm."
As Long Hao ate, Lin Xiao then pondered for a bit more. "Say, are all youngsters of Long Family can reach Foundation Establishment at… ugh 12?"
He could guess Long Hao's age when he was inspecting the other party and healed him before. After all, human could determine a cultivator's age by inspecting the bone or even the soul.
Lin Xiao clearly only used the bone method since he had no way of assessing someone's soul.
Long Hao paused. He looked at Lin Xiao with bewilderment before shaking his head. "Not all. Even in the Long Family, those who can reach Foundation Establishment at 12 years old are considered rare."
"Oh, so you're amongst the genius?" Lin Xiao asked in surprise.
Wait… 12 year old?
While Lin Xiao was already shocked before, the others were only shocked now. After all, the four of them didn't know Long Hao's cultivation level unless they probed deeper. Prince Lin San did use his Eyes of Truth but he couldn't get accurate reading because there was some kind of power blocking him. It was similar with Prince Lin Yan as he couldn't get accurate reading but he knew the brat was quite powerful.
Thus, they were all surprised.
Princess Lan Yi Hua felt that she was seeing things. Her sister, who was 16 years old and reached Foundation Establishment around a year or two ago was already hailed as a genius. She herself only reached Foundation Establishment when she was 17 years old.
And this brat…
He reached Foundation Establishment when he was only 12 years old?
How in the world did he train that way?
No, how in the world was it possible for someone who was merely 12 years old to reach Foundation Establishment? Most of them would have only started at Body Training, ah!
