《Rise of the Great Emperor 》Chapter 270: Passing the Border (2)
Advertisement
After settling the people who were trying to fake their way inside, the middle aged man gave one order. The horse pulled the carriage and the others started to do their own work.
However, the four people from yesterday had already garnered quite some attention and it seemed that no one was willing to get close to them. What a joke, they were all still Foundation Establishment.
The difference between that of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator and Golden Core Stage Cultivator was big, alright?
"Tsk, are you going to stay away too, Hu Xiao?" Wei Mu was annoyed when he saw Lin Xiao kept a long distance between the two of them.
Lin Xiao glared. "Do you really think that I'll willingly get close to someone so powerful like you? I'm afraid that you're going to take back your words and even attacked your temporary teammates like me. What can a Foundation Establishment like me do against you?"
Though, Lin Xiao was actually confident to run away from Wei Mu. His evasion skill was really good, thanks to that brat who showed it and didn't expect that Lin Xiao could learn based on observation.
Wei Mu was speechless. "What the hell! I'm not going to kill you!"
"That's what you say but we don't know each other well. Rather than putting my life in your hand, it's better if I just keep my distance from you during the time of this mission!" Lin Xiao looked at Wei Mu with fear.
Prince Lin San was trying so hard to restrain his laughter and kept a poker face. He had just found out that Lin Xiao was also truly a joker. It was no wonder that he was termed as a troublemaker.
His ability to incite others was certainly coming from his daily life in the village. After all, Lin Xiao used to be at the lowest bottom of the hierarchy. Acting as if he was afraid so that he would not be bullied was extremely common.

It was just not used for years already since he didn't live in that unnamed village anymore.
"You…!" Wei Mu was exasperated. "You don't look that afraid when you're facing the beast yesterday!"
"That's because I'm not alone and there are naturally a lot of other cultivators. We have strength in number!"
"What the hell, number can't make up for everything!"
However, Lin Xiao was not going to listen and continued, "Even if number can't always win, I can still be saver when I'm inside the crowd rather than when I'm alone. Why do you think that I'm going to fight so bravely and sacrifice my life? I love my life!"
Wei Mu: $%^&*()!
Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at how shameless Lin Xiao was and nearly burst out laughing, ignoring her image. It was not the first time she saw Lin Xiao being shameless as he was also the same when he was trying to help her out back then.
However, he was a bit more infuriating this time.
The conversation didn't last long because Wei Mu couldn't withstand talking with Lin Xiao anymore. The hoody man from yesterday was walking near the young woman. He pointed to the airhead Wei Mu.
"The one who dared to mess with him is not ordinary."
"Even if he's not ordinary, what does it have to do with me?" the woman asked in amused tone. She stretched her hand. "He's just some airhead Foundation Establishment cultivator."
"Mhm."
The group continued their same pace and by afternoon, they managed to reach the gate. The guards there looked at the people in front of them. "Show us your identification card."
The middle aged man opened the window and threw something. The guard looked at it before his eyes changed and he quickly rushed to return back the identification badge that the man showed to him.

"Open the gate!"
"Okay."
Lin Xiao watched from the back with astonishment. Didn't they have fixed time to open the gate? Why did they open it so willingly?
"The man inside the carriage had abnormal identity." Prince Lin Yan helped to explain everything to Lin Xiao. He looked at his younger brother with a little bit exasperation. His expression seemed to imply. Why did his little brother have such low IQ?
Lin Xiao could only lower his head guiltily and couldn't say anything more. He looked into the distance as their entourage passed the gate.
"What kind of place is Hua Lan Kingdom?"
Princess Lan Yi Hua's eyes flickered. "It's a kingdom of mountains and flowers. In fact, you'll be able to find that most our terrains are that of mountains."
"Does it mean you have a lot of valuable metals?"
"No… Hua Lan Kingdom is more famous of our alchemist. The blacksmith only consists of the third." Princess Lan Yi Hua looked into a distance as her eyes gleamed. "There are a lot of rare herbs in the mountains and that's why Hua Lan Kingdom prosper."
Lin Xiao blinked his eyes. It seemed that he really needed to learn more about the history of Hua Lan Kingdom to be more of use. Right now, he kept on bothering the princess to learn more about her kingdom.
Princess Lan Yi Hua smiled faintly. "It's normal for you to not know about this. While we have plenty of resources, those who can become an alchemist are extremely rare."
"How about you?"
"Me?" Princess Lan Yi Hua bit her lower lips and shook her head lightly. "My talent is not that good for being an alchemist. If you want someone who's good, you have to search my twin sister."
Twins…
Now that Lin Xiao was thinking about it, he got attracted to Princess Lan Yi Hua from the very moment he laid his eyes on her. It was as if there was a certain attraction in her that only he could see.
Not to mention, her eyes that were filled with determination was clearly not the eyes of a princess who had despaired.
