Chapter 170: The Two Princes
Sui Wenyan arched her eyebrows and looked at one side. As Lin Xiao had thought, there was soone who walked out. Their majestic appearance and great aura attracted a lot of attention as they imdiately recognized them.
So of them even bowed down as they greeted loudly, "Your Highness!"
Their voices were filled with reference even though they were all around the sa age.
Lin Xiao was not unfamiliar with this figure. He had seen this prince when he was spending the ti with Lin Yun and Wenren Yu in Feng Yi City. At that ti, he had seen the prince from a distance away and noticed the powerful aura around him.
"Prince Lin Kai."
"Yes. He’s only 18 years old but he’s already at Foundation Establishnt Stage for so ti," Sui Wenyan said with unhurried tone. Her gaze swept the crowd. "In fact, there are two princes who are taking the test now."
"Eh? Two?"
"Yes, the two youngest princes. One of them is Prince Lin Kai, who’s 18 years old while the other one is Prince Lin Hong, who’s 17 years old. The two of them are already at Foundation Establishnt Stage for quite so ti, so many people are thinking that these two young princes might have a chance for the throne."
Lin Xiao blinked his eyes. In his opinion, just being a genius shouldn’t be the requirent to beco the Emperor.
"Is there no other reasons?"
"Yes?"
"There are more than 100 princes but why only 4 are qualified to contend for the throne?" Lin Xiao asked.
Sui Wenyan smiled bitterly. "That’s because there’s a test that they needed to pass if they wanted to be able to contend for the throne. First is obviously their talent and the second one is their bloodline. There’s a special pavilion hall in the palace that only those with thick enough bloodline would be able to open."
Pavilion?
Before Lin Xiao could bring himself to ask, Lin Hu had already explained. "Every kingdom had the pavilion hall because it’s made during the primordial era. It’s built with Dragon Power, so only those who had dragon’s blood inside their body will be able to open it."
’Dragon blood?’
’Yes. Don’t you know that the reason why no one tries to contend with the Royal Family is because of the Dragon Blood inside their body?’
Lin Xiao’s lips twitched. This was the first ti he realized that there was dragon blood inside his body. For so reason, he felt a uneasy when thinking that he was not really a human being.
’You don’t have to worry. Even though your blood contained dragon power, you’re still human and not a dragon,’ Lin Hu comforted. ’Before you et with , the dragon power in your blood is already quite plenty.’
’Before?’
’After Emperor Inheritance, obviously the purity of the dragon power inside your blood increased. A pity that you won’t be able to use it before you advance to higher stage and have better understanding of your own body and power.’
Lin Xiao was speechless.
He felt as if he had powerful treasure in his hand, yet he was unable to use it because he was not powerful enough. He felt a bit vexed inside his mind.
"Oh, you’re also here, Seventeenth Young Prince."
Seventeenth Young Prince?
The number made Lin Xiao speechless. He turned his attention back to the front when he saw a young man standing in front of Prince Lin Kai. The young man looked younger, yet the power that he seed to emanate just from his aura alone was already more than enough to make so of them stepped back.
No one would be foolish enough to fight against soone who was out of their league during this kind of important test.
"They’re numbered in accordance to their age. If there’s no Young, it ant that they were of the previous generation. While if there’s young, it ant that they’re the young generation," Sui Wenyan explained.
"Prince Lin Kai is the seventeenth Young Prince?"
"Yes. He’s the son of the thirteenth Prince and also one of the few who had thick enough bloodline."
"How about Prince Lin Hong?"
"Prince Lin Hong is the twentieth Young Prince and also the one who had thick enough bloodline. His parents are the seventh Princess and the eighteenth Prince...."
The number only made Lin Xiao utterly speechless and confused. There were so many princes, ah!
"The two princes are always at loggerheads with each other. In fact, not a single one of them have good relationship with each other because of the fact that they could contend for the throne," Sui Wenyan explained.
Lin Xiao nodded and looked at the two figure at the front. For so reason, he felt that he wanted to step forward and proclaid that he was also soone who could contend for the throne. But he knew that the mont he stepped forward, he would only incur hatred and enemies flocking down to take his life.
Lin Xiao didn’t want to die yet.
He should just wait for the right ti.
"Well, well, since you’re already here, you may go first," Prince Lin Hong said with a smile on his lips. He looked amiable, yet there was traces of ruthlessness in his eyes that didn’t’ seem to be concealed in the slightest bit.
Prince Lin Kai sneered. "Are you afraid of , Lin Hong?"
"Afraid? More like I’m giving you face because if you perform after , you wouldn’t be able to get the slightest praise."
"Arrogant!"
However, Prince Lin Hong rely stood there with calm expression. A young man stepped from the back to protect him despite it was unneeded. At the very least, it was a show of his loyalty to be willing to protect the young prince behind him.
Prince Lin Kai sneered when he saw the young man. "Fifteenth Young Prince, are you also going against ?"
"I’m only thinking that it’s better to do the test first," the fifteenth Young Prince replied unhurriedly.
