Chapter 386: War Declaration?

Afterwards, Lin Xiao bowed down as thanks for what the picture had shown to him. He was grateful that he could learn more about what it meant to be the Lake Emperor.
While Lin Xiao was having fun inside, the outside world was not in the same state. The news spread and naturally the Emperor, Fan Family, other influential families, and even the students in the academy heard about it.
The new prince, Prince Lin Xiao, had the qualification to become the Crown Prince!
The news naturally set the world in uproar.
…
In Fan Family
"That brat really does it." Old Master Fan heard the news and sighed. He was the one who told Lin Xiao that he would surely support him if he could give him proof of his words that he was reliable.
And it was very soon that the young man obtained the very qualification for him to contend for the position of the Crown Prince.
"Old Master, about this…"
Old Master Fan waved his hand, stopping his guard from continuing his sentences. He naturally knew that it would mean that his family would be placed at the forefront because the two geniuses in Fan Family wanted to support different people.
As for himself…
"Let them fight and we shall see the result."
"Yes, Old Master."
…
In the academy
"What do you mean by the new prince can become the Crown Prince?"
"It's true! He managed to open that Dragon Pavilion Hall, so it meant that he would have the qualification to become the Crown Prince and possibly inherit the throne in the future!"
"Even if he can open it, can he be more powerful than the other princes?"
"He beat Prince Lin Kai."
"Don't count him. That prince has never been one of the favored one to succeed. Even if you compare Prince Lin Xiao with him, there was no benefit in doing so."
"How about the first place of the new student?"
The other student sneered instead. "How could it be so easy? Prince Lin Bo Wang and Prince Lin Fei were both older students. Their strength far surpassed that of Prince Lin Hong."
"Yeah, even when Prince Lin Hong came to the new ranking, it's not likely for him to win."
"True, true."
Their conversation was just one of the many other conversations. And of course, the princes naturally heard about what had happened and had their own thoughts regarding this matter.
The angriest one was obviously Prince Lin Hong.
"Damn it! What do they mean by I'm too young compared to others, ah? Even that damnable Lin Xiao is older than me!" Prince Lin Hong was around a year younger compared to Prince Lin Xiao and Prince Lin Kai. This had been going against him from the very moment he had the qualification.
The youngest.
And naturally, the least favorable after Prince Lin Kai.
Now that Lin Xiao had come, it was unclear whether he could still hold his advantage against Lin Xiao or he would be the least favorable amongst the student once more.
It was infuriating.
"Your Highness, there'll be a test from His Majesty soon. At that time, you will be able to show that you're the best amongst the four of you," one of his follower spoke up.
Prince Lin Hong snorted. He waves his hand. "Of course! I will naturally be the best!"
While the other princes didn't react as much as Prince Lin Hong, they naturally became warier to this new prince. Aside from the low background Lin Xiao had, his power was by no means much lower than them.
They had to be careful when they were facing him.
Some people began to silently move as the princes knew their undercover battle would only grow fiercer.
…
Back at the Dragon Pavilion Hall's area.
There were a lot of people there and naturally, the four people who followed Lin Xiao was still there. They were waiting for Lin Xiao to come out of the Dragon Pavilion Hall.
Swish!
Princess Lan Yi Hua furrowed her brows and turned her head around. Upon seeing Princess Lan Xiao Yue stood there, her expression grew somber.
"Sister," Princess Lan Xiao Yue smiled sweetly.
"It's been some time." Princess Lan Yi Hua nodded and didn't have any intention to entertain the annoying woman any longer. She turned her attention back to the Dragon Pavilion Hall.
Despite being ignored, Princess Lan Xiao Yue was not angry. Instead, she sneered to her sister. "To think that you will be able to find a small pearl amongst the trashes, it's really unexpected Big Sis."
"It's better than someone who's forced to be at the front shield." Princess Lan Yi Hua didn't even look at her sister.
Princess Lan Xiao Yue snorted. "Just wait and see. I'll show you that finding such a trashy fiancé is nothing to be proud about."
Princess Lan Yi Hua merely smiled. Compared to having a political marriage, she preferred this way. Lin Xiao had never mistreated her in any way and pulled her closer to him with his idiotic act.
How could she not notice when he was trying to act cool but most of the time failed miserably? It was his sincere act that moved her the most.
The other princes put the two of them as bargaining chip, but she felt the sincere expression from Lin Xiao. Because of that, Princess Lan Yi Hua had vowed to herself that she would definitely help Lin Xiao to obtain the throne.
"Hmph." Princess Lan Xiao Yue harrumphed and glanced up, looking at the Dragon Pavilion Hall. Finding a village bumpkin as a fiancé, her sister was truly an idiot.
The door slowly opened and Lin Xiao walked out. At this time, the Dragon Power inside his body had calmed down but the image of him walking out of the Dragon Pavilion Hall looked as if there was a majestic person who walked out.
It was the image that was seen by the people there.
