Chapter 154: The Seniors

"Master!"

Wenren Yu felt like Lin Xiao really loved to tease him after the latter found out about his crush towards Sui Wenyan. After all, he didn't dare to take the step forward because even back then, Sui Wenyan was like a figure that was very far away from him.

He was nothing more than an ordinary medicinal disciple while Sui Wenyan was the powerful disciple even among the outer disciples. How could he possibly try to attract the attention of someone who was so far away from him? He would be treated as nuisance if he dared to.

Lin Xiao laughed while Wenren Yu's face was already as read as tomato.

Lin Yun rolled his eyes. "Brother, I'm very curious how you're going to chase after the woman you liked in the future."

"Oh?" Lin Xiao had never thought about it. He didn't really have anyone he fancied right now. While the two women who were fighting just now were very beautiful, the most beautiful women he had ever seen, they were not his type.

"Don't worry. I'll surely be better than you two."

"Show off!"

They rolled their eyes at Lin Xiao's confident gesture. Internally, they hoped that the one Lin Xiao fell for would be someone who was very difficult to woo. That way, they would be able to laugh at Lin Xiao pitiful attempt to get a woman.

Sui Wenyan sighed and then led them to a quiet alley. Afterwards, she turned in the intersection towards a small house. "Come on. There's someone I want you to meet."

"Oh, right. The senior?"

"She's there."

Their eyes lit up as they wondered who the senior was. As Sui Wenyan pushed the door open, they could see that it was truly a small house. There was only one table and several chairs inside the room. The furniture was also barely existed in this empty room.

"Oh, Wenyan, you're here?"

"Senior Qiu, I'm bringing my friends here."

They all turned their head and looked at the woman in front of them. Lin Xiao's jaw dropped in surprise while Wenren Yu were looking at the woman with disbelief. On the other hand, Lin Yun felt like he was dreaming.

The woman in front of them was none other than the woman who was standing at the stage just now. The way she spoke at the stage had riled up so many young masters to bid even higher. Not to mention, her attractive figure could easily attract anyone's attention no matter who they were.

The woman, Senior Qiu, Qiu Si, looked at the three men with amusement. She felt like they were looking at her as if it was strange for her to be here.

"Well, well, who are these gentlemen's here?"

Sui Wenyan smiled then plucked a string to her zither. She always carried her zither because it was her weapon and without it, she would not be as powerful as she had always been.

Tring!

"ugh…."

The three of them felt as if they were attacked and turned their eyes simultaneously to Sui Wenyan. Couldn't she pick other harmless method to attract their attention and not attack them? Her soundwave was very powerful, all right?

"This is Lin Xiao, Lin Yun, and Wenren Yu. Do you remember Wenren Yu, he's one of the outer disciple in our sect."

Qiu Si looked at Wenren Yu and blinked her eyes. She shook her head faintly. "There are too many outer disciples. I can't remember everyone."

"Oh."

Sui Wenyan was not too surprised. She remembered Wenren Yu for some special reason, but she didn't intend to reveal it to anyone. Pulling a seat, she beckoned for the others to sit as she was acting like the host. "I'm going to tell a long story, so it might take some time."

"Don't worry, I have time."

"Good."

As the other three sat down, Sui Wenyan revealed how they were to Qiu Si. Upon hearing that the Emperor Inheritance was already found and the inheritor was in front of her, Qiu Si looked like she was at loss. Never in her wildest dream would she hope to be able to meet with someone of such high status.

"That's to say, Lin Xiao… I mean His Highness Lin Xiao is a prince?" Qiu Si asked in doubtful tone.

Sui Wenyan nodded helplessly. "Yes. However, he's not really a normal prince because he lived most of his life in the countryside and didn't know many things about how the princes conduct themselves."

"Oh."

It was then Qiu Si understood why Lin Xiao looked like was someone who was uncultured. Afterwards, she furrowed her brows. "Are you sure he's the one?"

"Wenren Yu said so, so I believe him."

"Girl, you believe him just like that?"

Seeing Sui Wenyan nodded without hesitation, Qiu Si sighed. She looked at Lin Xiao and began to scrutinize him from to the bottom. She could not believe that the future Emperor was in front of her and he was even weaker than her.

Mind you, Qiu Si was already at Foundation Establishment while Lin Xiao was only at Body Training Rank 10. 

"Are you really someone who got the inheritance?"

Hearing the doubtful tone, Lin Xiao smiled bitterly. He was thinking about what would be the best method to convince her when he recalled the mark on his forehead. Without hesitation, he opened his headband.

The moment the headband was out of the way, the faint mark of the beautiful crown was present on Lin Xiao's forehead. It was the mark that those from Taiyi Sect had heard a lot in their sect.

The mark of the Emperor chosen by the Heaven.

The moment they saw that, any shred of doubts was thrown away from their heart.
