Princess Lan Yi Hua smiled when she saw Lin Xiao walked out. Lin Xiao also spotted her and smiled but his gaze was icy when he saw Princess Lan Xiao Yue there. He naturally knew the bad relationship between the two sisters under their harmonious façade.
Now that the younger sister was showing herself here, did she want him to personally kick her out?
He didn't mind, but it might reflect badly on him to openly offend a royal family from another kingdom. Not to mention, he currently lacked supporters.
"Xiao Hua," Lin Xiao called out and beamed like a little kid. "I succeed!"
Princess Lan Yi Hua felt her mind blanked for a moment before she realized what Lin Xiao was trying to do. She put on a sweet smile on her face. "Yes, you're great."
"In that case, can we speed up the…."
"No, the date is already settled."
"Aww."
Lin Xiao walked with light steps towards the group. Lin Yun, Lu Jian, and Fan Ling were all smiling. Only they knew that they were dissing Lin Xiao internally because they knew how fake Lin Xiao's act was.
'Brother's act is quite good this time.'
'He's usually bad at acting but if it comes to just show how he's a foolish man in love, it's easy, huh?'
'Hmm, should I use this as a material to recruit people too?'
The three of them had different thoughts inside their mind but neither one showed it on their faces.
Prince Lin Yan looked at Lin Xiao and smiled. "Congratulations, Prince Lin Xiao for your success. I'll report this to His Majesty."
"Thank you for your help, Prince Lin Yan."
"I didn't do anything." Prince Lin Yan laughed. He looked at his youngest brother and then recalled something. "Since you have succeeded, I'm sure that there'll be call for you to participate in some matters. As you might know, princes are not just an empty title."
Lin Xiao nodded. He had guessed that these princes must have something that they had to do for the position they were in. If they were simply given the position and do nothing, wouldn't it be a waste for people to point them as their leader?
Even a powerful cultivator had to be wary if there were thousands of people who were fighting against him.
Unless one had absolute strength, it would be a fight where the cultivator definitely ended up dying!
"I'll be waiting for the news then." Lin Xiao cupped his fist.
"You don't have to be so polite. In the meantime, it'll be good for you to settle down a bit." Prince Lin Yan let out a laugh and looked at Princess Lan Yi Hua teasingly.
Princess Lan Yi Hua kept a poker face but it was undeniable that there was a trace of blush at the edge of her cheek. She was not as calm as she portrayed herself to be.
"I understand. Thank you for the advice." Lin Xiao beamed. It was also his intention to settle down as fast as possible in order to avoid any complication in the future. If there were any other problems, he would just settle it in the future.
Prince Lin Yan didn't stay there any longer as he had no intention to meddle in this matter. The other people who were crowding the area had started to disperse as it was clear that they didn't want to be late to deliver the news to their respective masters.
Lin Xiao then passed a look at Princess Lan Xiao Yue beside Princess Lan Yi Hua. "Is there anything that I can help, Princess?"
"No, congratulations Prince Lin Xiao," Princess Lan Xiao Yue's voice was very rigid and impolite. She looked at the two of them with scorn within her eyes. "I'll excuse myself now. See you later, Sis."
Princess Lan Yi Hua merely nodded and didn't even bother to look at Princess Lan Xiao Yue. Towards the indifferent attitude that Princess Lan Yi Hua gave her, Princess Lan Xiao Yue didn't care and strode away quickly.
Lin Xiao blinked his eyes. "Your relationship is really good."
Princess Lan Yi Hua let out a faint laugh. "Didn't you already know that? Let's go, we're the center of attention here."
"Alright."
The five of them walked and after some time, Lin Xiao glanced over to look at Fan Ling. "Does it mean that your family will start to have some internal strive?"
"Hmm?" Fan Ling grinned. "Don't worry, my grandfather will set it up so that it will only be directed to those at the younger generations. Those older will not interfere at all. That said, I will be asking for some days leave."
At the mention of the last sentence, Fan Ling's eyes grew cold. She could naturally remember her cousin whom she met not long ago and how much she had longed to beat him up. Since the chance had finally come, she would not let this chance go to waste.
"Can you do it on your own or do you need help?"
Lin Xiao's voice was calm and unperturbed. He looked at Fan Ling, waiting for the young lady to answer.
Fan Ling looked back at Lin Xiao as her mind recalled the matter of Sui Wenyan and also Wenren Yu. The two of them obviously also asked for Lin Xiao to let them handled their own matter on their own because they didn't want to let other people involved.
They had the capabilities and naturally, they would settle their own problem if they could.
If they couldn't even settle their own problem, what's the use of them to be a cultivator? They would be better off being a villager with nothing much to do.
"Don't worry." Fan Ling grinned. "It's my family and naturally I'll be able to settle it myself. If somehow things escalate until I can't handle it, I'll seek for your help."
"Alright."
Lin Yun looked at Fan Ling worriedly. "Will you be alright?"
"Of course!"
