Chapter 344: Weapon that was Capable to Grow (2)

Lin Xiao looked at Hu Fei's Master and felt a bit conflicted. Hu Fei might not know about the existences of rare elements but it didn't mean that others wouldn't know about it. And being the esteemed elder, it was clear that Hu Fei's Master would know about it.

Should he reveal it?

Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiao's brain was thinking rapidly. He looked at Hu Fei's Master. "Would I please ask you to promise that you will never divulge to others if you were to figure out more about my ident.i.ty nor killing me?"

Hu Fei's Master and Marquis Hu were both stumped when they heard Lin Xiao's request. It was rare to see such a youth who dared to pose such a question to them, especially when he was far weaker than them.

Not only them, even Hu Fei was stunned.

Back when Hu Fei asked about Lin Xiao's element, he had been willing to tell him without asking anything else. He glanced at Prince Lin Yan but he saw that his sworn brother didn't even try to stop Lin Xiao. His heart sank.

He knew that there must be something special about Lake Element even though he had no knowledge about it right now.

"Young man, don't you think your request is a bit too much?" Hu Fei's Master asked while taking out a fan and fanned himself.

Lin Xiao looked at the young man and shook his head. "I'm sorry but cultivation world is dangerous and I don't know whether I can trust you or not."

"If I want to figure out your real ident.i.ty, do you really think that I can't use force to figure it out?" Marquis Hu also asked with narrowed eyes. Was the man Princess Lan Yi Hua picked problematic?

"You can." Lin Xiao was calm.

Hu Fei's Master was watching Lin Xiao and thought for himself. He had already guessed that Lin Xiao must be related to Prince Lin Yan and Prince Lin San based on their similarities in their countenance. However, he never thought too much about it.

His request was strange but it might be because he was of Sun Kingdom.

He was not from these four kingdoms either, so he was not exactly interested in the dispute here. For him, it was not really a big matter for him to make such promise.

"Alright. I'll not leak out your real ident.i.ty nor killing you."

Lin Xiao took a deep breath of relief and then turned to look at Marquis Hu. He knew that he was trying to challenge himself and bet with his life when he asked such thing to them but he couldn't possibly let them be his enemies in the future.

Marquis Hu then looked at Princess Lan Yi Hua then sighed. "Fine, I'll not leak out your real ident.i.ty should I figure it out nor killing you."

"Not even a clue?" Lin Xiao asked once more and only calmed down after the two men had nodded. The promise would not be able to affect them that much but it would restrict their future cultivation if they break their promise.

After they had made the promise, Lin Xiao took out the Lake Gla.s.s Metal that he had obtained in the Secret Region. "My element is Lake and I would need a suitable weapon if I want to grow stronger."

Lake Element.

There were no servants around and Hu Fei's Master had already blocked the entire area even before he asked them about this. Looking at the precious lump of metal in Lin Xiao's hand his eyes widened in surprise.

Similarly, Marquis Hu also seemed to realize something before he let out hearty laugh. "Princess Lan Yi Hua, I never expected you to be able to attract the person with the most potential when you're only out for such a short period."

Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at the two men and pursed her lips. She didn't do anything and only be herself, alright?

However, she knew very well that to be able to be chosen by Lin Xiao to be by his side was an honor. She would be the one closest to him and able to watch over him as he grew stronger in his path as a cultivator and also when he became an Emperor.

Hu Fei's Master looked at Lin Xiao as a peculiar glint appeared within his eyes. "To think that I'll be able to meet you. It's truly an honor."

Lin Xiao let out a forced smile. "I'm still nothing…"

Yes, he was still nothing. However, Hu Fei's Master knew very well the significance of Emperor's Inheritance more than anyone. Many of them only thought of the rise of their kingdom with the existence of a Dragon Emperor.

But it was more than that.

Much more than that.

"Since you're the one who asked, I naturally will do my best." Hu Fei's Master took a deep breath. He then looked at Lin Xiao. "In return, I would like you to help Hu Fei in his future cultivation when you two meet again in the future."

"He's my friend and I'll naturally help him if I can." Lin Xiao treated Hu Fei well because the young man was also Prince Lin Yan's sworn brother. Besides, he had seen for himself that Hu Fei was a good person.

Hu Fei's Master nodded. He pointed to the workshop. "Come with me and watch. I would require your blood later."

"Ah?"

Blood?

This was the first time Lin Xiao ever heard of someone requiring blood for forging weapon. But since he had practically zero knowledge regarding forging and all, he chose not to ask too much and followed them into the workshop.

Hu Fei's Master took the Lake Gla.s.s Metal and sighed. It has been such a long time since he ever touched such precious metal and to think that he would be making the future emperor's his sword…

It was truly an honor.

An honor that he didn't believe could belong to him in this lifetime since the appearance of Emperor's Inheritance was really rare.
