Prince Lin Yan was relatively calmer than them. He had met with Ye Jian, who was clearly around the same age with Lin Xiao or even younger and yet the other party was already Golden Core Stage Cultivators that was higher than the third rank.
It was even a stage that Prince Lin Yan had to take account.
When one grew stronger and explored more places, they would also meet with more people. Naturally, his worldview had expanded and he was no longer surprised by such small matters anymore.
Still, thinking about this meeting made him a bit perplexed.
He never met with so many bigshots within a month's time and got involved in their affair's before.
At best, he would meet one during a year's journey.
Prince Lin Yan's eyes landed on Lin Xiao. Was it because he was traveling with someone who would become the Emperor in the future? He didn't know for sure but he felt that it might be possible.
Long Hao nodded with a smile. "Mhm, I'm one of the few who can contend for the head's seat after we grow stronger!"
Lin Xiao: "…" So, I'm meeting with the future Long Family Head?
He actually wanted to say that he could help Long Hao to get stronger but thinking that the other party was coming from such a powerful clan and family… Lin Xiao began to doubt the credibility his words might hold.
After thinking for a while, Lin Xiao shook his head. Forget it, he would try to ask if he met with the other party in other chance.
When the sun finally rises above their head, they finally sensed someone coming.
As for their mission, they could just report to another city and said that they got separated.
It was not a big deal.
Swish!
Two men, dressed in black, landed near them. Prince Lin Yan's eyes narrowed when he sensed them as he swiftly stood up. The two of them have the same rank as him and while he was confident that he could deal with one of them, he would need the others to distract the other two.
"Hao Twenty One and Hao Twenty Two." Long Hao waved his hand.
The others: "…" wait did we hear the name wrongly?
"Young Master!" The two of them hurriedly got closer and kneeled on the ground. "We're sorry for leaving you in this place, Young Master. We should return back."
Prince Lin San had activated his Eyes of Truth and noticed that these two didn't have any malicious intent. So he nodded at the others with calm expression, saying that it was fine.
Though, it didn't mean that they would put down their guard completely.
"Mhm."
Long Hao then recalled that they were still there. He grinned. "They save my life, give them some Spirit Stones, ok?"
"Yes, Young Master." One of them took out a pouch and handed it to Lin Xiao, who was staying the closest to Long Hao.
"Ah, thank you." Lin Xiao looked at Long Hao for a moment then added. "Be careful on your way back. You might not be the only one who's sent here."
"Ah right." Long Hao's face darkened slightly. "I'll be careful. Thank you for your treatment! Let's go."
"Yes, Young Master!"
With that, the group of three disappeared. Lin Xiao watched the direction where they go and sighed. Princess Lan Yi Hua puckered her lips. "That brat no longer act his age when he's around his men."
"He might need to keep up an image or something?" Lin Xiao shrugged. He opened the bag and nearly dropped it down. Inside it was not Low Grade Spirit Stones but rather Middle Grade Spirit Stones.
"What is it?"
"Middle Grade Spirit Stones." Lin Xiao sucked a deep breath. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I only give him a Low Grade Spirit Stones and he returns me back with a bag of Middle Grade Spirit Stones?"
"You should keep it for now. Even a single Middle Grade Spirit Stone can cause uproar in Sun Kingdom and Hua Lan Kingdom." Prince Lin Yan furrowed his brows.
"Yes, Brother."
"Also, does any of you have some sort of weird luck."
"Weird luck?" Prince Lin San was stunned. "What do you mean, Brother?"
"It's rare to meet with those powerful figures from different land within a month's time. We're not even in Hua Lan Kingdom for a month and yet we already meet with two powerful figure who might even change the face of the entire land with just a move." Prince Lin Yan shook his head then turned to look at Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao was stumped when he heard what Prince Lin Yan said. Indeed, it was usually rare for someone to meet with those from powerful kingdoms. And yet, they were already meeting with two already.
First was that Ye Jian.
Second was Long Hao.
No matter which side one looked at things, it was impossible for this to be a coincidence. It was as if the meeting was already predetermined and that someone could only watch as it occurred.
"Yes, it's you." Lin Hu's voice pulled Lin Xiao's attention. "You're the Emperor and when you're inside Sun Kingdom, your aura is low and being suppressed as you're in your homeland. But when you're outside, it's only natural that you're going to attract more powerhouses because of your identity.
I already suppressed it all because you're out here but it takes time and that Ye Jian already appeared from the very beginning. Your meeting with him can be considered as some sort of luck. Long Hao should be the last since I already stopped the influence from having you pull even more experts to the area near you."
'What do you mean by they're pulled to me?'
'Well, you're the Lake Dragon and their specialties are healing. Those people are injured so their instinct told them to come near you for their salvation. It's also their luck that they ended up in areas near you.'
