The Eldest Prince leaned against the broken wall, his face pale. He struggled to bow to Lin Xiao but was unable to stand up. He could only smile helplessly and say to Lin Xiao, "Thank you for your help today. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been killed by Fourth Prince."
"No need to thank me. I just don't like him."
Lin Xiao waved his hand nonchalantly and shrugged at the Eldest Prince. "Between the two of you, I still find you more pleasing to the eye!
But that doesn't mean I'll give you the Tiger Tally! "
"No!"
The Eldest Prince retorted loudly when he heard Lin Xiao's words. At the same time, he looked at Lin Xiao agitatedly, his body trembling. "She's just an ordinary girl. If I take her life because of the Tiger Tally, it's too unfair to her!"
As he spoke, the Eldest Prince coughed violently and his body fell to the side.
Fortunately, Blind Jiu hurried over and quickly supported the First Prince.
Seeing the Eldest Prince's reaction, Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow and pursed his lips in dissatisfaction. "Do I look like someone who would kill someone and take the Tiger Tally?"
"You mean …"
The Eldest Prince's expression softened when he heard this. He looked at Lin Xiao in surprise.
Lin Xiao nodded and didn't deny it. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I naturally have a way to take the Tiger Tally without harming this girl's life!
Furthermore, I will grant her a great opportunity! "
"That still won't do!"
This time, before the Eldest Prince could speak, Blind Nine frowned and refused. "The Tiger Tally this time concerns military authority. It's of utmost importance to His Highness. I can't give it to you!"
"Give it to him?"
Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow when he heard this. His aura burst forth as he looked down at Blind Nine and said, "Senior, you'd better get this straight. If I hadn't intervened just now, the Eldest Prince would have died. What's the point of giving it to him?"
When Yang Jian and Juling Shen heard Lin Xiao's words, they also released their auras.
Although Blind Nine was a Mahayana Realm expert, he had used up a lot of spirit energy to help the First Prince activate the King's Grand Formation. Coupled with the fight with the deathsworn and the red and purple flowers, he was completely exhausted. It would be difficult for him to deal with both Yang Jian and the Mighty Miracle God.
Even so, he did not back down. He stared at Lin Xiao without backing down at all as he unleashed his aura to the limit.
Seeing this, the First Prince put out his hand to stop Blind Nine. At the same time, he said to Lin Xiao, "You don't have to make things difficult for my teacher. As long as you don't harm this girl's life, I'll give you the Tiger Tally."
His tone was very calm, as if what he had given out was not the Tiger Tally but an ordinary gift.
Hearing this, Lin Xiao raised his brows as he looked at the First Prince with admiration.
Although the First Prince was not decisive enough, he was a true gentleman. Even at a time like this, he still put the girl's life first.
"Your Highness, please reconsider!"
When he heard the First Prince's words, Blind Jiu frowned and spoke with a heavy heart.
The First Prince grabbed Blind Nine's hand and said, "I have always remembered what Teacher taught me. To be a ruler, you must be a person first.
If I can't even keep my bottom line as a person, how can I become a good ruler in the future? "
Hearing this, Blind Nine was taken aback. He withdrew his aura and slowly said to the First Prince, "Your Highness, you are very outstanding!
This subject is proud of you! "
"It's because Teacher taught me well."
The First Prince smiled humbly as he spoke.
Lin Xiao raised his brows but did not say anything. He turned to Yang Jian and said, "Erlang, take out the Tiger Tally. Do your best not to harm her."
"Yes."
Yang Jian nodded. The vertical eye on his forehead opened, releasing a dazzling light that fell on the girl's stomach.
This light formed a unique halo on the girl's stomach, enveloping the girl in the center. Yang Jian stretched out his hand toward the center of the halo.
Following that, Yang Jian's hand seemed to disappear without a trace. When it reappeared, it was already holding the Tiger Tally.
On the other side, Juling Shen gave the girl a Spirit Level Rejuvenation Pill under Lin Xiao's instructions.
Although the Spirit Level Rejuvenation Pill was not of a high grade, it was enough for ordinary people. Not only could it heal the girl's internal injuries, but it could also nourish the spirit qi in her body, making her cultivation smoother.
Seeing that the girl was safe and sound, the First Prince let out a sigh of relief.
On the other hand, the Barbarian King, who was sitting at the side and watching Yang Jian take something out of thin air, revealed an excited expression and loudly said, "Damn!
Damn!
Damn! "
The Sword Saint rolled his eyes at the Barbarian King and said, "There are all sorts of strange things in the world. It's just taking something out of thin air. Is it worth Brother Barbarian King being so surprised?"
"Brother Sword Saint is indeed cultured, unlike me who only knows how to say damn."
The Barbarian King nodded thoughtfully at the Sword Saint's nonsense.
At this moment, the girl opened her eyes and looked at the people around her blankly, not knowing what had happened.
Seeing that the girl had woken up, Lin Xiao did not stay any longer. He said to the First Prince, "She's fine now. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first."
"Are you going to find the Black Tiger General?"
Seeing Lin Xiao get up, the First Prince suddenly thought of something and said to Lin Xiao's back.
"Your Highness, this is a secret!"
Hearing the First Prince's words, Blind Nine could not help but frown. His disciple was good at everything, but his personality was too honest.
Hearing this, the First Prince could not help but laugh. He said to Blind Nine, "Teacher, do you really think that Lin Xiao can't guess Father's intentions?"
"Yes, I'm going to find him."
Seeing that the First Prince was so frank, Lin Xiao did not beat around the bush and asked directly, "What are you trying to say?"
"You must be careful."
The First Prince looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Do not underestimate the Grand General's strength. He has a second form!"
Second form?
This was important information!
Lin Xiao did not expect the First Prince to tell him such important information. This surprised him. The way he looked at the First Prince changed again. He smiled and said, "If I can successfully obtain the Tiger Tally, I'll go to the palace to drink with you!"
After saying this, Lin Xiao left with Yang Jian, Juling Shen, the Barbarian King, and the Sword Saint.
As they left, the Howling Celestial Dog that had gone to chase the Fourth Prince returned. There was still some flesh and clothes hanging in its mouth. It said in a muffled voice, "Master, I'm back. That guy can't even take care of himself after being bitten by me!"
Just by looking at the things in the Howling Celestial Dog's mouth, Lin Xiao knew that even if the Fourth Prince did not die this time, he would definitely be half crippled.
Lin Xiao reached out and patted the Howling Celestial Dog's head. He smiled and said, "You did well. There is no need to be merciful when dealing with such evil people!"
