《Rise of the Great Emperor 》Chapter 97: Royal Family Member
Advertisement
"Royal Family members," Lin Xiao spoke out, yet his tone was filled with mockery. He was already 16 years old this year and for his entire life, he was living as a normal villager. Now, he was told that he was actually a prince?
What kind of joke was that?
Lin Xiao looked at the necklace and recalled what the representatives from those three small sects said before.
'Only those with Royal Family blood would have the chance to obtain the inheritance.'
He had never paid much attention to it before because he was only testing his luck. When he truly got the inheritance, he had completely forgotten about this one matter. But now that Lin Yun gave him a necklace that was actually his before he entered Lin Yun's family, he felt that everything was a joke.
He was a prince, yet he was living a live not worse than beggar.
Other princes were living a life filled with luxury because of their high status yet he didn't even know who his parents were and also the fact that he was actually a Royal Family descendant.
How ironic.
"Lin Xiao?" Wang Jun asked cautiously.
Lin Xiao sighed and shook his head. What Royal Family? He didn't care about them at all. In his eyes, his only family member was only his younger brother, Lin Yun, and also his foster parents who had died faster in this place.
He would never be able to see those Royal Family members as his family.
"How many princes is in kingdom?" Lin Xiao asked.
Wang Jun calculated silently. "There are 87 including you."
87?
Lin Xiao was taken aback. His eyes showed incredulous light, thinking just how many women did his father had to produce so many offspring.
Seeing Lin Xiao's look, Wang Jun quickly elaborated, "Princes are not only those who are direct descendant from the previous king but also his siblings, cousins, and even other relatives. Everyone who have the blood of the first emperor would have the status as prince of Sun Kingdom."

"Oh."
Now that made sense.
Sun Kingdom had come into existences for centuries. It would be weirder instead if there were not many offspring. However, Lin Xiao also knew that there could only be one Emperor, so the one who inherited the throne had to be powerful enough because he would be facing so many opponents who might want to take the throne that belonged to him.
"Emperor chosen by the Heaven?"
Wang Jun's face flushed red. "Except for the Second Emperor… there hasn't been anyone in Sun Kingdom who's the Emperor chosen by the Heaven."
They were all only following the route of the strongest and most formidable would inherit the throne. Those who couldn't fight would either be killed or have to become the servant of the one who inherited the throne.
"I see."
"Would you like to investigate who your parents…"
"There's no need," Lin Xiao cut off Wang Jun's words. "My parents are Lin Yun's parents and they have died in this village. I don't have any other parents."
Wang Jun nodded helplessly. Some people would be excited upon hearing that they were actually related to the Royal Family. But Lin Xiao was completely different. He had no interest whatsoever to the Royal Family and would rather acknowledge his village brother rather than those.
Probably, it was also because there was no feeling cultivated between parents and child since Lin Xiao's first memory has always been in this remote village.
*rumble*
"What's that?" Lin Yun was startled.
Wang Jun looked out helplessly. He sighed and pointed up. "There are some people who are attracted by that blue bird beast and dragon. Both beasts are powerful, so they might be fighting outside trying to catch the bird."
Lin Xiao's mouth formed the word 'o.'

He scratched his head, thinking that it was truly bad of him to make the blue bird beast as the scapegoat because Lin Hu had already returned back to his forehead.
"Oh right, Elder Wang, do you know what this is?"
Lin Xiao took out the Night Yin Flower from the Spatial Ring. The other three pairs of eyes were looking towards the flower. Wenren Yu and Lin Yun's eyes lit up. "Night Yin Flower!"
"What?" Lin Xiao asked. He knew the basic of herbs and medicine but compared to Wenren Yu and Lin Yun, he was still far etched. In fact, it could be said that he still had a long way to go.
"It's a powerful Yin type flower that could even freeze its surrounding." Lin Yun pointed to Lin Xiao's hand. Even though Lin Xiao was only holding the dirt, which meant that there was a considerable distance, layer of ice and water had started to form. "This flower could be made into powerful medicine and also very beneficial to women who have Yin Attribute Body."
Looking at Lin Yun, Lin Xiao nodded. After knowing his body's attribute, Lin Yun had spent great deal of time trying to understand more about it from Wenren Yu. Thanks to that, the two of them often discussed the matter often while Lin Xiao was only the bystander.
"You can sell it," Wang Jun said after a while.
"Yes?"
Taking out a pot, Wang Jun placed the flower into the pot and added some more soil. While the temperature was still cold, it was no longer freezing those who was holding the pot.
"There are a lot of people who are after this Night Yin Flower. One of the most remarkable attribute of this flower is that it can slightly alter someone's body attribute," Wenren Yu added from the side. His eyes shone. "Lots of women wished to have Yin Attribute Body, so this will surely be able to hitch a high price. Even if it couldn't alter one's attribute completely, it'll surely give them some boost."
Wang Jun nodded.
At this moment, Lin Xiao grinned. It seemed that offending that blue bird beast still has its benefit too.

The Fundamentals
You hear of many tales out there. Some depict worthy heroes wielding tremendous power, noble personas that fight to save the lives of their close friends, family, and all the rest. Good triumphs over evil, that is simply the way the world works, no? While this premise is something inherent to nearly all stories, what exactly the heroes used to attain success can differ greatly.
