Chapter 381: Meeting with the Emperor (2)
"Please." Lin Xiao smiled and acted polite.
Fan Ling snorted when she saw the guards" reaction. They were too used to judge people based on appearance.
There were many other people who got attracted by the commotion. Some people pointed at Lin Xiao"s clothes and whispered to themselves but not many dared to speak openly. After all, they didn"t want to court death yet.
However, for a cultivator at Lin Xiao"s rank, their voices were as clear as day.
"He"s a prince?"
"Seriously? Is there any prince who love to act low?"
"Maybe he"s just some long distance relative of the Emperor so he didn"t have much connection with the Imperial Family."
"Hmm, that"s possible."
Fan Ling grunted when she heard them saying that. She rolled her sleeve. "I wonder what they would say if I turn them into a meat paste."
"Don"t be reckless!" Lin Yun quickly stopped Fan Ling before she went into her berserk mode and possibly killed a lot of people.
Lin Xiao smiled faintly, his eyes showing hint of coldness. "There"s no need to pay any attention to them. It"s only natural that your first impression is simply based on what it looked at the surface. If it"s uninteresting, do you think that you can still attract people to come?"
"But…"
"People are shallow and do you think someone will pay so much attention to a stranger?" Lin Xiao asked once more, his tone didn"t change in the slightest bit.
Lu Jian let out a faint laugh. "I didn"t know you have good understanding of people at times, Your Highness."
"Do you think I"m stupid?"
"Eh…"
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes when he saw Lu Jian"s hesitation. He glanced at the other three but they simply smiled and refused to answer. If they hadn"t thought of him as stupid, they would surely answer that way just now.
Tsk, his friends were really.
At this time, the guard had returned. "Your Highness Prince Lin Xiao, His Majesty said that you may come in with your friends. However, he asked for them to identify themselves."
"Ah."
Lin Xiao glanced at his friends, asking them to introduce themselves in the most comfortable way for them.
Princess Lan Yi Huan stepped forward, "Princess Lan Yi Hua, the first princess of Hua Lan Kingdom."
Fan Ling continued right afterwards, "Fan Ling, Second Young Miss of Fan Family."
"Lu Jian, Third Young Master of Lu Family."
"Lin Yun… Prince Lin Xiao"s adopted brother and I"m not sure which number of prince I am."
The other four glanced at Lin Yun but the latter could only smile helplessly. He really didn"t know because his parents didn"t really report him when he was young. Or they did but they were soon forgotten.
Seeing the guards looking at him with inquiry, Lin Yun took out a necklace too.
The necklace was brown in color as if it was made of bronze. In the center of the necklace was a small dragon. The entire color of the necklace was brown, which made it looked like a cheap accessory.
It was his, given by his parents after he was born and bound with his blood. Only those of Royal Family could ever have this pendant and it couldn"t be stolen by others because those who dared to keep it would receive curse and ended up dying within a day. It could also be left alone in a place for safekeeping like that Lin Yun"s parents do to Lin Xiao"s pendant before.
No one knew the significance of this necklace aside from the fact that it would help them determine who was part of the Royal Family.
As for the shape of the dragon, it was obviously because of the people in Sun Kingdom Imperial Family all believed that they were the descendant of a true Emperor a long time ago.
No one could replicate the necklace either since it was made with special material.
"Ah, alright, we"ll make our report. Please come with us."
The five of them nodded and entered the palace. Lin Xiao looked around curiously as this was his first time entering this place. Thinking that the annoying dragon wanted him to become the owner of this grand place…
He felt a bit of unease just thinking about that matter.
"Are you not excited?"
"Excited, you d.a.m.n dragon, didn"t you sense the power of those who were hiding away?" Lin Xiao really wished to slap this dragon away.
Lin Hu merely snorted. Those people were only guards at Golden Core Stage 2 or even Golden Core Stage 1. The number of Golden Core Stage 3 were rare and Lin Hu would not think they were of any problems to Lin Xiao with the young prince"s current power.
The only advantage they had was their overwhelming number.
But Lin Xiao will solve that problem soon.
He was gathering followers on his own and their number would soon increase.
The five of them were led to the front of a magnificent building. Just standing in front of the building made Lin Xiao felt that he was so small and insignificant. Probably, it was the purpose of making this building so big since it was impossible for them to live inside this grand place and used every inch that was possible.
Also, the Emperor was not a giant to make the ceiling so high, right?
The guard was looking at Lin Xiao"s expression and felt that this prince was really someone who didn"t know the world. Just looking at a grand palace and he was already acting as if it was the most impressive thing in the world.
Really a country b.u.mpkin.
While Lin Xiao completely ignored the guard, Fan Ling glared at the annoying guard, scaring the h.e.l.l out of his mind.
"Your Highness, we can"t escort you any further than this…."
Lin Xiao nodded. "Let"s go."
Fan Ling snorted and Lin Yun tugged her sleeve lightly to remind her to behave herself. At the back, Lu Jian smiled helplessly. Fan Family princess was really brave.
