No matter how curious Elder Yu was, Long Hao explained nothing. He simply brought Lin Xiao and Princess Lan Yi Hua to Long Family, straight towards his residences.
"Fuh, Elder Yu is very strict and will not let me get away from his sight." Long Hao sighed and then looked at Lin Xiao with sparkling eyes. "Master, now that you're here, will you help me to learn the ancient words?"
"Sure. But first, you need to tell me how far you have understood so far."
"Okay!"
Because Lin Xiao had decoded the formation that Long Hao used with ancient words before, he could use it as references for many others. This improved his ability to understand and use the ancient formation to the point that many other youngsters in Long Family felt jealous.
With Lin Xiao teaching him more, Long Hao then realized that there were some mistakes from what he had learned.
Hours passed and Princess Lan Yi Hua was learning patiently too. She might have inherited the Phoenix Inheritance but it didn't come with the benefit of learning the Ancient words directly like Lin Xiao.
Time passed swiftly.
"How much time do you have until the test?" Lin Xiao asked curiously as he wrote another passage for Long Hao to learn.
"Just a few more days." Long Hao was also very excited. Learning under Lin Xiao for the past few weeks was very beneficial, much more compared to his self learning or under the elders.
He could already make many types of formation which didn't exist in the family at all. Without Lin Xiao's help, he knew for sure that he would never be able to do it at all since he couldn't understand as much as what Lin Xiao taught him.
And for Lin Xiao, it was extremely easy.
While staying in Long Hao's residence, he and Princess Lan Yi Hua also toured the capital city a few times in order to gain better understanding of Wang Wu Kingdom. It was only later on Lin Xiao also learned that after Nascent Soul Stage, the cultivators were called Immortal.
Once they become an Immortal, they could choose to ascend to the higher realm or stay here and become a Loose Immortal.
"Master, if you reach that stage in the future, will you stay here?" Long Hao asked curiously.
Lin Xiao was silent. He had already advanced to Nascent Soul Stage 4 not long ago thanks to his deepening understanding of laws when he was staying with Long Hao. However, Immortal Stage was certainly still very long.
If he became an Immortal, will he stay in this place or will he head over to the Immortal Realm?
"I would stay here." Lin Xiao's tone was full of certainty.
Long Hao was astounded. "Why, Master?"
"Because I'm Xiao Hu Kingdom's Emperor." Lin Xiao smiled.
But his answer only made Long Hao confused. Even if he was the Emperor, it didn't mean that he had to stay there forever, right? However, Lin Xiao didn't think of moving over to the Immortal Realm.
"You see, you don't always have to learn from stronger people in order to become stronger. There are many times when those who might be weaker than you in terms of strength have better wisdom." Lin Xiao laughed faintly.
Cultivation didn't only consist of honing one's strength.
After reaching Nascent Soul Stage, he and Princess Lan Yi Hua were no longer tempering their body because it would not change many things. Instead, they began to learn many other things while learning about the world.
And to learn the laws, they didn't need to always be taught by others as seeing the world with their own eyes was already one of the best methods.
"I see…"
"You'll have your examination tomorrow. Are you ready?" Lin Xiao passed a look at Long Hao. Thanks to his teaching of Ancient words, Long Hao also managed to make his breakthrough to Nascent Soul Stage 2. But looking at how Long Hao easily make his breakthrough, Lin Xiao could only sigh.
There were many people who could just live their lives as usual and the breakthrough would occur to them.
"Yes!" Long Hao grinned. "Don't worry, I'll make you proud!"
"I'll be happy as long as you don't write strange words."
Long Hao was speechless.
Princess Lan Yi Hua giggled when she heard their conversation. "Your Master is just making fun of you. Don't take it seriously."
Long Hao cupped his fist. "It's alright Master's Wife, I'll do my best."
After Long Hao left to the other side of the residence, Lin Xiao was still sitting on the bed. His eyes were looking into the distance as he thought about Long Hao's words. He didn't think about it too much in the past but now that he had grown stronger, it was indeed time for him to make more detailed planning for the future.
"What are you thinking?" Princess Lan Yi Hua asked as she poured a cup of tea. Lately, she had been immersed in the art of making tea. Her movements were very elegant and seemed to be moving in accordance to the nature's law around her.
It was enchanting.
Lin Xiao smiled lightly and accepted the cup from his wife. "I'm thinking that once we return back, aside from reinforcing the formations, I want to have children with you."
Princess Lan Yi Hua paused. Her eyes sparkled when she heard what Lin Xiao said as she nodded her head. "Sure."
They would live for thousands of years as Nascent Soul Stage. Even though their lifespan was still limited and that they could think about it in the far future, building a family didn't seem to be a bad suggestion.
They were already 25 to 26 years old.
It was not that bad.
"Alright." Lin Xiao was also excited. He hugged his wife. "After Little Hao is done with the competition, we'll return back to Xiao Hu Kingdom."
"En." Princess Lan Yi Hua snuggled into Lin Xiao's arm happily.
