《Rise of the Great Emperor 》Chapter 265: Hidden Intention
Advertisement
"This two are Xiao Hua and also Hei Ye." Lin Xiao took the opportunity to introduce the other two to keep them not speaking to others easily.
The young man named Wei Mu looked at them with curiosity. Just as Prince Lin San about to ask him what's the matter, he spoke, "As twins, you two don't look alike that much."
"Really?" Lin Xiao made his voice sounded happy.
"Yep."
"That means my headband worked!" Lin Xiao said proudly, puffing his chest as if it was his real reason for wearing headband. "You don't know how tiring it is to always be compared to my twin brother just because he's more capable than me. Thus I have to think of an alternative and tada, the headband is born. Now that I'm wearing headband, I'm absolutely more handsome than my twin brother!"
Hearing Lin Xiao's far etched explanation that was riddled with mockery, Prince Lin San was utterly speechless. He had to give it to Lin Xiao, though, as he didn't expect that Lin Xiao would create such story.
'Hmm, Lin Xiao is not a bad actor.'
Prince Lin Yan was listening to their conversation from a distance. His eyes lit up in slight amusement and also agreement. With Lin Xiao's way of exaggeration, it could be said that he sounded as if he loathed to be compared with his twin brother.
This way, even if he refused to take off the headband, it would make the excuse sounded so reasonable.
Wei Mu was speechless. "Do you really have to think so much?"
"What do you mean by that? You don't know how it is to be always compared to my twin brother! What does it mean he can do it but I can't? It's so annoying…."

Bletak!
"I believe that the certain twin brother is right beside you, Hu Xiao." Prince Lin San smiled with dark expression. It looked like he was angry for his twin brother to speak bad about him so quickly to a stranger.
"That…"
"Come here, I'll make sure that you know very well how much your brother 'care' for you."
"Ah! Help! That's called abuse! I call quit! I call quit! Help!"
The two of them began to run in circle while Wei Mu shook his head. He had been thinking that he had found an interesting group to talk with but it turned out that the group was instead filled with children.
They were already 18 or so years old based on their appearance and they still acted like they were children? Grew up!
Princess Lan Yi Hua was paying close attention to Wei Mu's expression as her eyes narrowed slightly. She grew up in the royal family who were very adept at hiding their real expression and thoughts. Thus, when she was going outside, she always paid more attention to other people's eyes and faint gesture.
They would always reveal things that the owner wished to hide.
'This Wei Mu is up to no good.'
Princess Lan Yi Hua decided to warn the others when there was a chance in the future because she didn't want them to put their guard down when they were facing this man. He must have a certain goal.
At this moment, they had already walked for some time. The people at the front were also guarding at certain degree and made sure that they were doing their work well. However, it was clear that there was nothing much that occurred right now.
The walk continued.
Lin Xiao and Prince Lin San stopped their argument after some time. While it looked like the two brothers were still going to fight more, they had already more or less calmed down.

Princess Lan Yi Hua passed a bottle of water to Lin Xiao. "Drink some."
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up and inched closer to her. As he picked the bottle, he sensed sound transmission from the young girl and he nodded in understanding. "Hua'er is the sweetest to me!"
"Get lost!" Prince Lin San acted as if he was disgusted by their behavior. In any case, he didn't really want to be forced to watch his younger brother fed him dog food. Cultivators lived for a long time and it would not be too late for him to search for a partner when he was at higher stages of cultivation.
Who would want to seek partner so early in their life?
He certainly was not one.
Wei Mu was even more speechless when he saw the group beside him. He shook his head but Prince Lin San had already turned his attention to him.
"Are you alone, Brother Wei?"
"Hmm?" Wei Mu looked at Prince Lin San and nodded. "Yeah, I don't really have anyone who want to partner up with me."
"Oh, why?"
"That's because my skills are too violent." Wei Mu smiled proudly.
Prince Lin San's lips twitched as he chose to temporarily stopped asking about this matter or he was afraid that he would lose control and threw a punch. For some reasons, he didn't like this kind of braggart.
"There are beasts coming."
The guards were alert when they heard that. They looked at the front where several beasts suddenly appeared and pounced at them.
"They're here!"
"Attack!"
Flurry of attack suddenly started from the people at the very front. The beasts couldn't' even come close when they were turned into mincemeat. There was no chance for Lin Xiao and the others to even make their move.
Lin Xiao's lips twitched. "That's overkill."
"So many people are trying hard to get noticed." Prince Lin San was not worried about it.
"But why would one send so many people to come to such a simple escort mission then? It's not like there are many beasts who are so powerful." Lin Xiao furrowed his brows.
Over the time they were here, they were not only fooling around but also tried to get better picture of those people. To their surprise, most of them were only at Foundation Establishment Stage.
