Vegetative State?

Prince Fu Liang was staring at Lin Xiao carefully. He knew very well that what Lin Xiao said just now was a blatant threat. Since Lin Xiao dared to show his card in front of him, it meant that Lin Xiao was somewhat confident of defeating.

"Can you defeat me?" Prince Fu Liang asked slowly. 

"Do I need to?"

Glancing to the side, Prince Fu Liang noticed that Princess Lan Yi Hua was still staring at him. He coughed dryly as he knew that this low key princess was by no means weak. There were some people who were already suspicious of her back in his kingdom but they never tried to do anything.

After all, they didn't really want to create trouble for Hua Lan Kingdom.

Now that Princess Lan Yi Hua was by Lin Xiao's side, Prince Fu Liang knew that it would not be easy for him to defeat these two. Even though he had quite the considerable strength, it would not be an easy move for him to resist if Lin Xiao were to use the ancient power.

Just from the formation just now, it was clear that Lin Xiao had quite the attainment in terms of ancient word.

"I can help you get the throne."

"I don't need your help."

"Tsk, how cold." Prince Fu Liang snorted but he didn't press the matter. Since Lin Xiao himself was powerful, he could guess that this young man had other cards. "Alright, I'll be honest. The other three princes can't read this, so I would need your help if I really want to succeed."

"How do you know they can't?" Lin Xiao asked slowly.

"That's because I have already tested them." Prince Fu Liang shrugged. "In fact, I already tried to test other princes from Bing Yue Kingdom too but they're not too good either."

Lin Xiao was speechless at the blatant information that Prince Fu Liang presented to him. Does this prince didn't worry that he would spread this to other princes and leak out what he had did behind their backs?

But right now, he really didn't have any intention to do something like that.

"Then why you come here?"

"Of course, that's to borrow forces." Prince Fu Liang smirked. "Do you really think that it's possible for me to breach all the four corners in one go? I will need help but if you can help me, it'll be even faster to break those restrictions."

Lin Xiao looked at Prince Fu Liang coldly. "And why should I help you?"

"Oh please, I know that you wouldn't want that restriction to be exist."

"I don't have any qualm destroying it by myself."

Prince Fu Liang was speechless. Thinking of how Lin Xiao could easily use the ancient power, he didn't think that Lin Xiao was boasting. After having enough information, it might only take a few months or years for Lin Xiao to completely break the restriction.

Having him or not would only led in difference of the information at the very beginning.

"Tsk… you're quite an ambitious man." Prince Fu Liang looked at Lin Xiao coldly.

Lin Xiao shrugged. "If you're unconvinced, we can always spar. I don't really mind having to have a battle with you."

"This place is not suited for us to have a battle. Unless you can prepare an arena, it'll be unlikely for us to be able to fight." Prince Fu Liang knew that the best way for him to be convinced was for Lin Xiao and him to fight directly.

But in this teahouse…

How were they supposed to fight?

The others would surely stop them and if there was any chaos, they would be reprimanded by the Emperor of both kingdoms.

"In that case, I'll welcome you back in the future." Lin Xiao spread his arms. "After I become the Emperor, let's meet again."

Prince Fu Liang arched his eyebrows. The current Emperor of Sun Kingdom was still fairly young and energetic. It would be very unlikely for Lin Xiao to become the Emperor so soon. If that was the case, there was only one method for him to be able to get the throne.

A smile formed at Prince Fu Liang's lips. "I see."

"But of course, you can proceed with whatever plan you have for now." Lin Xiao didn't mind them making backup plan. Besides, he knew that he could only make his move after the Phoenix Inheritance.

Because it was the day when Princess Lan Yi Hua would officially show her prowess too.

He didn't want to change this either.

"That didn't sound bad."

Lin Xiao looked at Prince Fu Liang and raised his finger. A streak of power formed a word and entered Prince Fu Liang's body before the prince could react and settled in his consciousness.

The move startled Prince Fu Liang greatly. He glared at Lin Xiao. "What did you do?"

"I can't possibly let you run off your mouth, can I?" Lin Xiao smiled faintly. "You won't be able to talk about today's conversation with me to anyone else or I'll destroy your soul."

"How ruthless." Prince Fu Liang inspected his consciousness and realized that the strange few words had settled there. He naturally knew that ancient power was another type of power that borrowed the Qi of the world and also universally known to be a power that was the highest manifestation of Qi.

Those who could control it were only those favored sons of the Heaven.

They were also geniuses who have great fate waiting for them.

Prince Fu Liang sighed and then waved his hand. "Alright, let's talk again after you become the Emperor."

Lin Xiao nodded and waved his hand to retract the formation. Beside him, Princess Lan Yi Hua silently helped him to stand straight. While Prince Fu Liang couldn't see it, Princess Lan Yi Hua could see very clearly that Lin Xiao had clearly exerted himself in order to impress Prince Fu Liang.

She rolled her eyes internally while keeping her face straight. Princess Lan Yi Hua really wanted to reprimand her husband to not do anything recklessly.

He was really…. Only seeking troubles wherever he went.
