Prince Lin San glanced at Princess Lan Yi Hua who was standing at the side. He knew very well that Lin Xiao trusted Princess Lan Yi Hua to a certain extent and had been pursuing her so far.

She also had been helping Lin Xiao in many occasions. Princess Lan Yi Hua didn't show her affection so bluntly and idiotically like Lin Xiao, but she clearly had some affections for Lin Xiao. From the way it looked like, Prince Lin San would not doubt her betraying them. 

Boom!

Being thrown by Prince Lin Yan, Hu Fei was now a sorry figure. He looked at Prince Lin Yan and pointed his finger, feeling aggrieved. "Is this how you treat your sworn brother, ah?"

"That only apply to idiots." Prince Lin Yan rubbed his fist together. He really wished to give Hu Fei another beating since this young man kept on asking for one.

"You…."

A laughter interrupted their banter.

Everyone turned their head and saw Marquis Hu walked with a young man beside him. The young man didn't look any older than 30 years old and yet the oppressive feelings he gave out was one that was even more than Marquis Hu yesterday.

Hu Fei quickly knelt down. "Master! Father!"

The others bowed respectfully, "Respected Elder, Marquis Hu."

"There's no need to be so polite to me." Hu Fei's Master looked in their direction. His gaze landed on everyone before he stopped in front of Princess Lan Yi Hua and Lin Xiao. It seemed that he had taken special interest on this pair. 

"Princess Lan Yi Hua."

"Yes?" Princess Lan Yi Hua answered. She cupped her fist respectfully, not daring to do anything funny. In front of absolute strength, any kind of tricks were useless! If they still dared to play around and try to do tricks, one might even lose their lives.

Hu Fei's Master looked at the young girl and nodded. "You're not like what people said."

What people said?

Princess Lan Yi Hua naturally knew that her reputation was at the rock bottom in Hua Lan Kingdom. It was one that might not be able to be salvaged anymore no matter what was done. She could only let out a bitter smile.

"It's good that they look down on me as it means that they'll finally wake up that their so called genius is actually just a pebble on the road."

Hu Fei's Master was stunned for a moment before he laughed out loudly. "Good, very good. Princess Lan Yi Hua, you're really a good person. How unfortunate that my disciple had no fate with you."

Hu Fei, who was kneeling down, clearly felt sudden chills on his back. Several pairs of eyes were already directed at him as if they couldn't wait to tear a piece of his meat and torn it brutally.

"Master! What are you talking about! I liked sweet girls and not someone like…Princess Lan Yi Hua…." Hu Fei's words faltered at the end before he looked at Princess Lan Yi Hua. There was some kind of feelings that he had seen her before but he never thought too deeply.

From all he knew, she was nothing more than the Night Assassin….

Wait, Night Assassin was actually Princess Lan Yi Hua.

She…

"YOU'RE THAT USELESS PRINCESS?" Hu Fei couldn't stand it anymore and screamed.

Princess Lan Yi Hua furrowed her brows but before she could even move, Prince Lin Yan had helped her.

Bletak!

A slap landed on the back of Hu Fei's head. Prince Lin Yan shook his head. "Pardon him, he's a bit of an idiot."

Hu Fei's Master also looked at his disciple and shook his head. This disciple of his really had good talent in terms of forging weapons, which was the main reason that he chose to take him to be his disciple.

But the downside was the fact that his IQ was a bit on the low side.

"Yes, she's that useless princess. Do you want me to give you a beating too?" Lin Xiao asked in clear annoyance.

Hu Fei looked at Lin Xiao and rolled his eyes. "Just with your Foundation Establishment Stage and you wish to defeat me? Do you really think that I would lose against you?"

"Why not?" Lin Xiao asked back. He sneered. "Do you dare to fight?"

"You…"

Seeing the others had no intention of stopping Lin Xiao, Hu Fei was looking at Lin Xiao warily. He had the feeling that the fight would not be an ordinary fight. Not to mention, it was also true that Lin Xiao managed to defeat Lei Xing Yi even though she was at Golden Core Stage 2 before.

"Stop that." Princess Lan Yi Hua tugged Lin Xiao's clothes. "If he dares to look down on me, I'll be the one to defeat him."

Seeing how Princess Lan Yi Hua's eyes gleamed, Lin Xiao could guess that she also wanted to give this man a good beating. He glared at Hu Fei before stepping back.

Hu Fei wanted to cry. "You… you won't be able to catch up and…"

Ugh wait, those two were also pretty good at cultivation and he was also someone who focused more on forging rather than cultivating. He then turned to look at Prince Lin Yan but the latter had no intention to help him.

Ahhhh, help himmmm!

Hu Fei's Master looked at Lin Xiao. "So this is the one you set your eyes on?"

Princess Lan Yi Hua was startled and she hurriedly replied, "Replying to Esteemed Elder, yes, this is the one."

Lin Xiao felt a bit cold when he saw Hu Fei's Master's eyes landed on him. There was a hint of surprise within the old man's eyes.

"He seems to have some kind of ancient power within him but it's weak. His cultivation is more or less the same as you… Hmm, did he have some kind of rare elements?" Hu Fei's Master asked again. 

"Yes."

"What is it?"

Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at Lin Xiao, waiting for him to answer the question by himself.
