Chapter 377: Staying in Fan Family Residence

Facing his granddaughter’s attack, Old Master Fan had to relent and agreed. Even though he didn’t want to, he loved his granddaughter a bit too much and only wished for her happiness.

Looking her genuinely bright smile, he could only sigh.

Fan Family hadn’t been that peaceful. Even though the little girl was short tempered and loved to create trouble, she was a sensible girl within the residence. The only reason why she chose to wreak havoc was to make sure that her cousins would never see her as a mild tempered person and bullied her.

This way, she would not be blamed even if she continued to challenge her cousins who often created trouble for her.

In the eyes of others, she was simply the pampered princess but Old Master Fan always felt that behind his granddaughter’s bright eyes, she had noticed the dark side of the world.

"The other nobles’ family are already divided." Old Master Fan chose to remind Lin Xiao. He knew that Lu Jian was good at collecting information but the youth was still young and there were still many things he might miss out.

"Everyone?" Lin Xiao frowned.

"Jiang Family is neutral but they’re always the hotheaded in Sun Kingdom, so you can’t really expect much from them," Lu Jian replied with a bitter smile. Jiang Family was also an odd one who stood by themselves. They seemed more like an independent family inside this kingdom who didn’t rely on others.

"Then, the five others?"

"Qi Family is supporting Prince Lin Fei because they’re his mother’s family members. Tu Family is supporting Prince Lin Hong but they’re relatively the weaker one. You Family used to support Prince Lin Kai but recently they moved to Prince Lin Bo Wang. Feng Family is said to be neutral and Guo Family is slightly leaning towards Prince Lin Fei from what I heard. Lastly, Su Family and Fan Family were said to be following Prince Lin Bo Wang."

Lin Xiao was speechless when he heard the division...

So it meant that the power was already concentrating on Prince Lin Bo Wang.

"There are also several smaller nobles who are following them. Of course, I have been extending invitation but..." Lu Jian looked at Lin Xiao bitterly. Unless Lin Xiao do something, those people would not be moved.

Lin Xiao pursed his lips. He thought about Dragon Pavilion Hall and felt that it might be time for him to visit that place once more.

"I’ll do something soon."

"That’ll be for the best." Lu Jian heaved a sigh of relief.

Old Master Fan listened to their conversation and could see that Lin Xiao was relying or could be said using his men quite well. Most other princes usually loved to rely on themselves the most because they were all already very powerful and knowledgeable.

But Lin Xiao was different because he didn’t have the necessary knowledge.

He had learned a lot in the cave... but it was mostly about beasts and their weakness along with some battle tactics that was useful for them.

"Grandpa, they’re my guest and they’re staying here for the next week, ok?" Fan Ling asked coquettishly.

Seeing the usually rash Fan Ling acted like a spoiled child, Lin Xiao felt shiver. He glanced over to look at Lin Yun but could only see that his younger brother was looking at Fan Ling with mere astonishment.

Lin Xiao: "..." It would be impossible for him to convince his younger brother in the future should they fight against Fan Family..

He had to make sure Fan Family chose him, ah!

"I’ll ask the servants to prepare dinner first."

Lin Yun cupped his hands to thank them along with the others. He then looked at Fan Ling. "Are the guest room near your room?"

"Scram!"

In the end, Lin Yun was once more subjected by the terrifying pressure from Old Master Fan. Of course, Lin Xiao and Lu Jian tacitly agreed to let that young man faced the old master’s terrifying wrath by themselves. They had no intention to come over and let themselves be beaten up for no reason at all.

That day, Fan Ling arranged for them to stay inside. However, Lin Xiao couldn’t sleep peacefully.

The reason?

Someone sneaked into his room in the middle of the night.

Lying on his bed, Lin Xiao could clearly sense someone was coming. After he advanced to Golden Core Stage 1, his senses were further heightened and this allowed him to sense his opponents when they were close enough.

Swish!

Just as the opponent approached his bed and attacked, Lin Xiao had sprung from the bed and used the blanket to cover the opponent’s eyes. His hand moved to take out his sword and slashed it forward as the Qi in the surrounding moved at rapid speed.

Chilling Lake Sword, Fourth Stance!

Bang!

Lin Xiao had no intention of freezing things inside this room, so he chose the relatively lower stance. It was also the stance that was easier to do because of his limited amount of Qi. His eyes were icy as he looked at his opponent who crashed onto the wall.

"Who sent you?" Lin Xiao asked coldly.

The man was stunned but he swiftly moved. Lin Xiao merely let out a cold laugh before he struck once more.

Lake Mirror!

He moved swiftly and appeared right before the man could even respond. Lake Mirror allowed him to move faster with less Qi than Moon Evasion. The only downside was the distance limitation for the shadow to be formed.

The man didn’t even notice because what he saw was the shadow Lin Xiao in front of him. By the time he realized, Lin Xiao had already struck once more.

Mountain Sword, Fourth Stance!

BAM!

The man was sent flying out of the room through the window.

Looking at the destruction Lin Xiao had caused, his face turned awkward. He forgot to hold back... as he had just advanced, he forgot that the same skill could exude greater might.
