Chapter 257: Secrets

"It doesn't matter. We already pledged our lives to you." Lu Jian was the first one to sit down in front of Lin Xiao. He shrugged his shoulder as if he didn't care.

Lin Xiao placed his hand on Lu Jian's back and started to infuse his Qi. He could sense Lu Jian's body jerked a bit.

So much for saying that he didn't care.

As he started to heal the wounds on Lu Jian body, Lin Xiao naturally noticed some things. First was the fact that the Qi in Lu Jian's body was filled with wind element and that they're resisting him heavily when he first infused the Qi.

But after a while, the Qi began to calm down and allowed Lin Xiao to direct the Qi towards the area that was wounded, slowly closing it from inside. 

'It's surprisingly cool.'

Even though Lu Jian's element was wind, he was supposed to be a male, which meant that his body was leaning to yang. Lin Xiao naturally knew that Lu Jian was a male but for his body to be filled with coolness more than warm….

Lin Xiao's expression turned strange and Lu Jian naturally noticed it when he had finished. His face flushed. "D…Don't you dare to say that to anyone!"

Lin Xiao let out a dry laugh. "I won't…. though, I would like to meet the person who…"

"…" Lu Jian's face turned even redder. He noticed that the others were also looking at him with interest. Normally, he would be quite calm about it but thinking about his past… he couldn't bring it up, honestly.

"Maybe someday."

"Okay."

"Who is it?" Fan Ling nudged Lu Jian with curiosity.

Lu Jian rolled his eyes and ignored them. Now that his wounds had healed, he could focus on training on his own and no longer need to use his Qi to recuperate. Having a healer was indeed good.

But… to think his secret was leaked out so quickly.

He had to be careful of healers in the future. When he returned back home, he better warned his family about this fact. It was so embarrassing, ah!

The next one to sit down was Lin Yun and Lin Xiao noticed that his brother's health had started to stabilize. But maybe because it was the influence of his physique but the element that Lin Xiao sensed was that of water….

Water and yet he was training Mountain Sword?

Lin Xiao's lips twitched. "Yun, you need to find other skills when we return back to the academy."

"Ah…" Lin Yun scratched the back of his head. "I didn't know which skill will be suitable for me, so I try to learn Mountain Sword."

"What's his element?" Prince Lin San and Princess Lan Yi Hua asked at the same time.

"Water."

Water?

They all turned to look at Lin Yun in surprise. After all, it was rare for a man to have element in water. Facing they all staring at him, Lin Yun was stupefied. He quickly yelled, "What's wrong with having water element? Brother is also that of water element."

Lin Xiao: "…" I'm lake and not water.

But since it would be difficult to explain that, Lin Xiao merely shrugged.

The others then nodded, accepting the fact.

"In that case, you can try to cultivate Moon Treasure or even Splitting Water Sword," Prince Lin San gave his suggestion.

Princess Lan Yi Hua tilted her head. "You can also try to consider Water Wave Punch. It should be a public skill."

"Thank you for your suggestion." Lin Yun cupped his hand. Internally, he took note of all of them as he planned on checking them when he used his chance to visit the book pavilion. His current skills set was a bit bad for him.

Lin Xiao sighed as he looked at his younger brother. He should have known that Lin Yun was unable to choose properly which technique that was suitable for him.

"I'm next."

Fan Ling sat down and Lin Xiao used his Qi to heal Fan Ling. Due to her recklessness, she had more wounds than others but she didn't seem to care about this. There was really nothing that Fan Ling actually hide either.

After all, she had been using both her elements openly.

Double element was indeed very rare and there were even rarer those who could cultivate both of them openly like what Fan Ling did. But recalling how Fan Family was rich and certainly had a lot of resources, it no longer looked that strange.

Lin Xiao ended up using his skills to heal everyone in the group.

Han Jiang was just like how he was usually. His Qi was that of earth element, which might be reflected on his attack that was usually relied on strength and hardness. He was also one that would not think too much to use his brain.

Yep…

Muscle brain.

But when Lin Xiao healed Xia Ye, he realized that the little twerp was actually hiding so many secrets. Xia Ye naturally noticed Lin Xiao's look but he was calm because he was prepared for Lin Xiao to know about this. 

"I would try to search for some skills that are suitable for you," Lin Xiao said after a while and then turned to look at his twin brother.

Prince Lin San naturally knew what that gaze meant as he nodded. "You can tell me if you want to. I might be able to help."

In terms of resources, he was still far above what the current Lin Xiao had. After all, he had been living as a prince for a long period of time while Lin Xiao was not even formally acknowledged yet.

It was obvious that Prince Lin San was more eligible to help.

Xia Ye nodded. "Thank you."

"I would require you to swear on your life to him, though." Prince Lin San's eyes glimmered as golden color appear for a moment. "if not, I won't be sure that you won't betray us."
