Long Hao smiled. "I didn't expect that I'm going to meet with you two again. It's really surprising."

Princess Lan Yi Hua nodded. "Yes. I thought that you're planning to return back to your kingdom when everything is over."

Hearing that, Long Hao's eyes flashed with coldness. He had planned that way too but the plan was not going so smoothly. "That's the original plan but I didn't expect that my cousins will send people to chase after me and attempted to kill me either."

Lin Xiao was surprised. "Then, how did you end up here?"

"I run away from their chase but being Foundation Establishment can be quite hard. There are so many people who are aiming for my life." Long Hao let out a cold laugh. "I stumbled upon a group of people who are preparing to enter and charged before them. Since I'm a master at Ancient Word, I managed to borrow its power to help me hide and complete the missions here."

"I see." Lin Xiao seemed to pity some of the people who have their quota taken from them.

"Anyway, can you help me out? If you help me, I promise that I'll help you out in return." Long Hao looked at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. "Why should I help you again, Little Hao?"

Hearing that, Long Hao was speechless. But that's true. They only met with each other once and at that time Lin Xiao had helped Long Hao out of kindness when they stumbled upon him who was dying.

Now that they met each other again… would he be that shameless to ask for help?

Lin Xiao looked at Long Hao as he recalled the words that Lin Hu told him before. He was naturally intrigued about Long Family but it would certainly take a long time before he could find out more if not from the brat over here.

It was just…

How could he possibly ask bluntly to the brat about his family members? He didn't want to seek death right here.

Lin Xiao then looked at the array and slowly read out. "Heaven and earth, please listen to my humble request. Block the sound from within so that my enemies will not be able to hear what I'm talking about. Prevent my secrets from leaking out and protect me from harm."

Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at Lin Xiao in confusion.

On the other hand, Long Hao was looking at Lin Xiao as if he was looking at a monster. It was precisely the word that he was written on the ground but normal people should have never been able to read it much less understanding it.

After all, even in the Long Family, the children needed to be tested for their aptitude first before they came into contact with the ancient word. If their aptitude was not good enough, they would never be able to learn how to write nor read it because it would only hamper their progress.

Long Hao was one of the few who could read it.

"How… how did you read it?"

"I can read ancient word." Lin Xiao looked at Long Hao with amusement. "Do you really think that I can pass all the obstacles to reach here if I don't have some kind of ability with my current cultivation at Foundation Establishment Stage?"

Long Ying was silent for a moment then looked at Lin Xiao for a moment. He then shook his head. "No, you normally couldn't."

He had seen the other people from weaker kingdoms who were mostly older. They only dared to attempt the Secret Region when they were above 20 years old, which was when they were already at Golden Core Stage 1. 

This way, they would not be facing too many danger and even if they did face some dangers, they would be able to deal with it.

"Right. I also know some other things."

"Hmm?" Long Hao had a bad feeling when he saw Lin Xiao's smile.

On the other hand, Princess Lan Yi Hua narrowed her eyes and prepared herself to defend in case Long Hao suddenly attack. She could guess that Lin Xiao was about to say something that was related to Long Hao's secret and that it might be dangerous.

"That the Long Family is the descendant of a Dragon Emperor in the past."

Boom!

An explosion occurred inside Long Hao's head as he looked at Lin Xiao with disbelief. "That's not possible! You should have never known about it!"

Only those who lived in his kingdom should have known about this. Those from secluded areas such as Lin Xiao and the others should have never had a chance to even knew about it.

Lin Xiao looked at Long Hao. "I also know that you can't use the dragon power inside your body. The fact that the limitation exists make it difficult for you to use dragon word and so you can only use the ancient word."

Long Hao was silent as he looked at Lin Xiao with utter disbelief. He really wanted to kill Lin Xiao right now to hide his secret but he could sense that Princess Lan Yi Hua was ready to attack him too. 

Even though Lin Xiao looked utterly relaxed, he knew that the young man was also preparing to attack him if it was necessary.

This made him annoyed.

In a fight of 2 against 1, he might not win.

"What do you want?"

"I can help you lift up the restriction." Lin Xiao's lips curled up to form a smile.

Long Hao looked at Lin Xiao and shook his head. "That's not possible! There's no way that you can lift the restriction. There are already so many people who claims that they could do so but they're nothing but lies, I won't fall for your trick."

"I can make an oath to the Heaven that I can lift your restriction in exchange for you to acknowledge me as your Master."
