Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 415: Secret Negotiation

Prince Fu Liang chuckled. "In that case, care to have some tea?"

"Sure?" Lin Xiao replied, but then he realized that he was being impolite since his answer sounded like question. He coughed and answered once more, "I mean, yes. Would you like some tea, Your Highness?"

"It'll be good." Prince Fu Liang laughed.

Princess Lan Yi Hua listened to their conversation from the back. Her eyes flashed for a moment as Prince Lin San brought them to a nearby teahouse and booked a VIP room. It seemed that he had already memorized the entire map of the city before coming here.

"What do you want to talk about, Your Highness?" Lin Xiao asked in faint tone. He could sense that Prince Fu Liang didn't ask him to come here just because he wanted some tea.

Prince Fu Liang looked at Lin Xiao as the corner of his lips curled up. "Don't be in a hurry. Do you not have any method to seal voice?"

"What method do you want me to use?"

"A formation will be sufficient, Xiao." Princess Lan Yi Hua tugged from the side as if telling him to be careful.

Lin Xiao pondered for a moment. Because he had already used Dragon words in the lake back then and didn't retract it back, he wouldn't be able to use his ability excessively. It meant that he could only use some simple method.

He really needed to figure out a method to make sure that the formation was independent and not connected to him.

Slowly, he thought about the method that Long Hao used and began to speak in weird language.

"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."

'DAMN YOU LIN XIAO, WHY ARE YOU USING ANCIENT WORDS AGAIN?'

'Shut up! You're ruining my concentration!'

'Shut up my *ss! You're going to be in trouble if you can't fight after this!' Lin Hu roared back in anger.

Lin Xiao's current ability had increased and naturally, this also meant he could use the ancient power to a certain degree. Asking to form a simple formation like this was not hard but it would drain his power.

If he was not careful enough, his secret of having so much Dragon Power would leak out.

Princess Lan Yi Hua furrowed her brows but she didn't stop him. On the other hand, she was paying close attention to the movement of Prince Fu Liang before her, wanting to know what he wanted to do.

Prince Fu Liang was looking at Lin Xiao. He laughed out loudly without caring for his image.

"To think that I would meet with another person who can use the ancient word. Brat, when did you find out that I can use i?"

"Brat? I'm only one or two years younger than you." Lin Xiao was speechless. He was only 20 years old, which meant that he was not much younger than Prince Fu Huang. How could the prince call him a brat that way?

He couldn't accept it.

"It's the same either way." Prince Fu Liang waved his hand as he was looking at Lin Xiao with interest. He clearly didn't expect to see someone like Lin Xiao. "A country bumpkin but can use Ancient word, you must be hiding your power."

"You can say it to the other princes. After all, who would be stupid enough to reveal all of their cards?" Lin Xiao replied back unhurriedly.

"You haven't answered my question."

"Oh, you have those words written in your carriage." Lin Xiao shrugged. He recognized them from the very moment the carriage came within his sight. Even though Prince Fu Liang himself might not be someone who could use it, someone he knew or other Imperial Family members might be able to.

"Oh, you can also read it, so it's not wrong when I see you stare at those words." Fu Liang nodded. He looked at Lin Xiao and grinned roguishly. "Are you not afraid that I'll leak it out?"

"If you do want to leak it out, you would not try to sound me out over here. Speak, what do you want?" Lin Xiao asked back.

Lin Xiao, Princess Lan Yi Hua, and Prince Fu Liang were the only three within the room. With the formation made out of ancient words formed around them, there was no way their words would be leaked out of this room.

"Only those who can read these words can possibly destroy the restriction." Prince Fu Liang smirked. "This is the information I got from the area."

"You want me to participate in destroying the restriction?" Lin Xiao asked back.

"Yes~." Prince Fu Liang leaned back and crossed his legs. He looked more like a bandit rather than a prince this way, though his beauty was still disturbing. "But of course, I might also ask the others who can read the ancient word."

"Oh, you'll be happy to find out that the others can also read Dragon Language," Lin Xiao said derisively.

It was an open secret that the Royal Family members of Sun Kingdom was able to understand Dragon Language to a certain degree. There was nothing about the ancient language, though.

Instead, it was Jade Snow Kingdom that has some experts that could learn a bit about the ancient language.

What Lin Xiao didn't know was that their ability would be far lesser than him.

They could only use one or two words at most and forming a sentence would already put them at the pedestal.

"That said, you're not afraid I'll leak this out?"

"I can erase your memory." Lin Xiao smiled brightly. This was one of the few things he found out that he could do with ancient power, but he had never done it before. "I have never done it before, so I might even cause damage on your mind, but you don't have to worry because the worst that can happen is that you turn into vegetable."
