Chapter 355: Return Back to Sun Dragon Academy

The bloodbath in w.a.n.g Luo Sect caused the smell of blood to linger around the area for a long period of time. Lin Xiao and the others, who were keeping watch from a distance away, noticed it almost right away.

"They really did it," Lin Yun murmured.

"For gentleman, even 10 years is not too long for revenge." Lin Xiao looked in the direction of w.a.n.g Luo Sect. "It's already around 4-5 years since they lost everyone around them due to the Royal Family and the three sects. That's neither a long or short time."

"True."

For the four of them, what they wanted the most was simply to take the revenge of those who had caused their beloved sect to fall and build it again. Now that they were already capable enough, they could finish one and the other one will be done later.

Swis.h.!.+

Four figures appeared not far from them. Aside from the lingering smell of blood, there was no difference of them from before.

Lin Xiao nodded. "Have you gotten the information about who's the one instructing them?"

"Yes. I'll be making contact with them and create chaos," Zhongsun Shan replied with a smile. "In the meantime, you might want to return back to Sun Dragon Sect, Your Highness."

"Can you do it by yourself?"

"There's no need to worry. Even if I'm unable to destroy them, I'm confident that I'll be able to run away unscathed."

"In that case, take care of yourself." Lin Xiao nodded and walked out of his house. He knew that Zhongsun Shan and Qiu Si wanted to finish their revenge by themselves without asking too much from others. After all, the debt of blood hadn't been fully paid by blood from the other party.

"Master, I…"

"You can stay and help them. Four people is better than just two, right?" Lin Xiao added with a grin.

Wenren Yu smiled and bowed. "Thank you, Your Highness."

While Lin Xiao himself knew that he might need some help from them, he knew that it was not the right time. "Oh right, before I forget. If your target is the Emperor, please let him off for now. There's another person who wants to kill him so badly."

"Ah, I understand."

Sui Wenyan smiled in understanding. She knew that Lin Xiao was talking about Xia Ye. While Lin Xiao himself didn't have grudge against the Royal Family, probably with the exception of those who killed his parents, he allowed his people to take their revenge.

The path to the throne was filled with blood.

As they walked out, Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at Lin Xiao with worried gaze. "Is it fine like this?"

"Yes?"

"I mean, you're allowing them to spill so much blood."

Lin Xiao shrugged. "The reason why those people from the Royal Family dared to make their move is because they have the support of whoever is closely related to the throne. We're all simply fighting because we want the throne and to make sure we can survive."

Princess Lan Yi Hua was silent for a moment. While it was true that everyone was fighting for the sake of the throne, Lin Xiao never openly searched for opponent. He let them came to him while at the same time, allowing his men to take their revenge that they have been harbored.

"You don't actively search problem either."

"There are already so many problems, why should I seek another one? Besides, if they didn't provoke me, I don't really see the need to fight them blatantly."

"I see."

They returned back to the teleportation circle and then asked for the people there to transport them directly to Sun Dragon Academy. Since it was that academy and they were the disciple returning for mission, they didn't need to pay.

Swis.h.!.+

The five of them had returned back to the academy. Aside from Lu Jian, who had already returned first and Xia Ye, who was still staying back in the cave, the others were all staying with Lin Xiao.

"Hmm?" Lin Xiao noticed his Communication Jade lit up. He picked it up and heard the voice of his first brother. "I already talked to His Majesty about your real ident.i.ty as the prince. Because Princess Lan Yi Hua is not considered as someone important, he had agreed to your marriage with her and will deliver the decree to the academy tonight."

"Thank you very much for your help, First Brother."

"It's nothing much. Be careful during your stay in the academy because you're going to be eligible to meet with the seniors soon."

"Ah, I will."

Submitting the mission, Lin Xiao told Princess Lan Yi Hua that they have to wait outside their dorm for a little bit. While she was confused, she still followed him with the others standing not far from them.

Lu Jian soon joined in after he had heard of their return.

"You should have told me that you're coming back. It's frustrating that I only know about it by scavenging for news," Lu Jian complained.

Lin Yun shrugged. "It's not like we're concealing the news on purpose. However, you're the one who's slow."

"Tsk."

Han Jiang pa.s.sed a glance at Lu Jian but he refrained from saying anything. Looking at his impa.s.sive expression, Lu Jian felt like his friend was also mocking him.

At this time, Prince Lin San also came. He waved his hand but kept his demeanor as a prince before he came close to Lin Xiao's location. There were not many people who were there but it seemed that they still needed to keep up with appearances.

There was no way that they would not be suspicious to see Prince Lin San being so friendly all of the sudden.

"Is there anything wrong?"

Prince Lin San shook his head. "I come to see you. It seems that you have settled your problem?"

"Yep. Oh right, help me prepare for betrothal gifts. I don't know what I should prepare," Lin Xiao added.

Hearing that, the others were speechless. Cultivators all lived for a long period of time, so it was natural that many of them would not get married until they were already quite old. But from the way it looked like, Lin Xiao was just like a child who was so eager to get married.

"You're only 20 years old and you want to get married so quickly?"

"What do you know?" Lin Xiao retorted back. "Yi Hua is so perfect that I'm afraid there will be many eyes eyeing her! I'm not going to let her be taken away by anyone."

Plak!

Princess Lan Yi Hua, who was standing beside Lin Xiao, felt so embarra.s.sed that her face turned red. How audacious of him to speak of that so openly in front of so many people. Looking at the expression of other students, she knew that they were laughing at Lin Xiao.

Hmph, if they dared to belittle her husband in the future, she would beat them up.

The princess hadn't realized it yet, but she had already thought of Lin Xiao as her husband even though they hadn't married yet.

Prince Lin San laughed. "Don't worry, I'll ask for First Brother to help. Oh right, don't it mean that your little princess need a residence?"

The only reason Lin Xiao hadn't proposed back when they were at the dorm was because everyone went against him vehemently. They always saw marriage as something extremely important. To send betrothal gifts in dorm…

They wouldn't be able to withstand being the laughing stock of others and Princess Lan Yi Hua might end up so embarra.s.sed.

"Oh, right."

Lin Xiao stayed there until several people came. They were all wearing robes that signified their position in the palace, the eunuch.

"Are you Lin Xiao?" the man at the front asked when he saw Lin Xiao.

"This subject is Lin Xiao."

"The Emperor has decreed!"

With that, everyone present quickly kneel down. Seeing the decree was the same as seeing the Emperor himself, so they have to be very polite.

"Prince Lin Xiao had suffered, getting lost in his childhood and only found later on. He's a brave and courageous young man. Princess Lan Yi Hua is a beautiful and pretty young lady. The two are fated to be together and the Emperor decreed that this union might be the best for them."
