Chapter 198: Studying Together

Silence.

The five people, including Princess Lan Yi Hua, was absolutely stunned by Lin Xiao's sudden declaration. While it was not done openly, they all clearly understood what Lin Xiao meant by his words.

This…

It was madness.

In the end, Fan Ling brought into a hearty laugh. "I can't believe that I find someone even crazier than me. My siblings and family all said that I'm crazy to think that I can surpa.s.s my grandfather but in front of me is someone who's even more crazier!"

"True. I can't believe that you're someone like that."

On the other hand, Han Jiang was looking at Lin Xiao with solemn expression. He knew the meaning of the words that Lin Xiao implied very clear. Unlike the two, he had very low background and worked his way to be able to get accepted into Sun Dragon Academy.

However…

The thought of those arrogant princes sitting on the throne sickened him. There were so many things that he disliked about the current Emperor and also the princes. If someone from low background like Lin Xiao sat on the throne…

Somehow, he antic.i.p.ated that.

"I'm in."

They all turned their head to the smallest one. He was looking at Lin Xiao with cold expression. "I'll support you."

Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. "And what do you want in exchange?"

"I want to be the one to kill a certain someone." Xia Ye creased his eyebrows. It was clear that with his current rank, he wouldn't be able to hide his voice from others. It would be better for him to not say the name yet.

From the way it looked like, Xia Ye had grudge with someone from the Royal Family. While Lin Xiao didn't know who it was, he nodded. In any case, Lin Xiao didn't know anyone from the Royal Family.

"Alright."

"I'm in too. I want to see how your crazy idea can get realized and if you truly can get that, I'll get powerful backing too," Fan Ling said with a grin.

"I'll help you. I just want you to remember that I, Han Jiang, is your right hand."

"Hey, I'm his right hand!"

"No, I'm my Brother's right hand!"

"What are you talking about, I'm clearly the right hand!" Sui Wenyan also protested. h.e.l.l, she was the strongest one of the bunch. How could she allowed them to take the position that belonged to her?

Han Jiang looked at the three of them and arched his eyebrows. "We shall compete later."

"Hmph!"

Lin Xiao looked at the three of them helplessly. Since when did they decide that they would be his right hand? Ah, he would just think about it later. He turned his head to look at the thin young man, Lu Jian.

Lu Jian flinched and sighed. He shrugged. "Well, I'll just see to it first. I can't clearly say that I'll support you when I'm not sure about what kind of person you are."

"Fair enough."

"Though, I have to admit, none of the current four….of them are of my liking." Lu Jian wanted to say princes, but he didn't dare to be so open. They were in the Sun Dragon Academy and there might be people who were listening to their conversation.

Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at Lin Xiao. "How confident are you?"

"As long as I can survive and get stronger, I'll be able to get it," Lin Xiao said with confidence. He was someone who had gotten the Emperor's Inheritance, so as long as he could survive, he believed that no one would be able to contend with him.

Only time will tell.

Princess Lan Yi Hua arched her eyebrows. She knew that he was speaking to her, but she also didn't wish to see him fall. Turning her body around, she nodded. "I'll follow you for now."

For now.

Lin Xiao was already satisfied enough with this answer. He would need people who would follow him and willing to go against the other four princes. For now, he would not care about their power and only their personality.

As a matter of fact, the four of them were still in Body Training Stage. Han Jiang and Princess Lan Yi Hua were both Body Training Rank 10 while Lu Jian was at Body Training Rank 9. The last one, Xia Ye was at Body Training Rank 8.

"Is there any other cla.s.ses we have today?"

"No?"

"In that case, let's go to the library and study."

"Library?" The others were stunned.

Lin Xiao scratched the back of his head. "Well… I used to live in a small village, so I don't have as much knowledge as you."

The others were speechless.

"d.a.m.n you, you're a village b.u.mpkin but you're so confident like that?"

"You're very courageous."

"In that case, I'll help you to study," Lu Jian said with a sigh. Why did he feel that the new leader he found was a bit unreliable? But well, his parents told him to just stay out of troubles if he didn't want to follow the four princes. There was no need to embroil himself in the messy battle for the throne.

"Let's go."

The original four people now had additional five people. The group of nine made their way to the library and began to study. It was then they finally realized that Lin Xiao's knowledge was truly at the very bottom.

Amongst the nine of them, he was truly the one with the poorest knowledge.

"There are a lot of things you need to catch up," Princess Lan Yi Hua said with a sigh. She pa.s.sed a book to Lin Xiao. "Remember, knowledge is also a form of power."

Lin Xiao took the book helplessly. "Yes. Thank you, Princess."

Princess Lan Yi Hua took another look at Lin Xiao and then added, "You can just call me with my name. There's no need to use princess."

"Alright, Lan Yi Hua!"

Princess Lan Yi Hua: "…" so smooth, should I just ask him to call me with my t.i.tle?

But looking at Lin Xiao, who was already busy studying again, she pushed the thought to the back of her mind.
