Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 477: I See

The elders’ eyes lit up when they saw how quick Long Shui was and the Ancient Power that swirled around his body.

"Congratulations, Young Master Shui!"

"Young Master Shui is indeed the best!"

"There’s no one who can compare to you, Young Master Shui!"

The elders happily praised Long Shui. They knew that with this revelation, he had already won the competition. The competition was very short and the first person who could understand everything would win.

The other youths were looking at Long Shui with unwilling expression. They were all still in the middle of decoding and trying to read but Long Shui was done.

Only Long Hao was unperturbed as he continued to read and memorized them to his heart. Right now, he didn’t even seem to care about Long Shui, who was boasting not long from him.

Not long afterwards, Long Hao finished and closed his eyes.

It was indeed an ancient script that was rarely seen. To be able to read most of the letters were necessary in order to trigger the power and Long Hao could read around 80%. The rest were words he had never seen before.

However, he didn’t recite it.

"Long Hao! Now that I’m the family head, you should leave!" Long Shui turned to look at Long Hao and said haughtily.

Long Hao arched his eyebrows. If it was him in the past, he would have long rushed to Long Shui to challenge him into a battle. But after meeting Lin Xiao and learned so much for the past few weeks, he had lost the desire to do so.

The position as the head of Long Family was merely a mortal position.

Even if the Long Family was powerful, they worth nothing more than a finger of his master. He didn’t even want to spare another second in this place if not because of his duty as the Long Family Young Master.

"I see." Long Hao’s answer was placid.

Long Shui was stumped. He thought that Long Hao would be angry and rushed over to fight with him. But Long Hao’s nonchalant words were clearly out of the expectation.

"You...."

"Long Hao."

From the elders’ row, a man who wore different robe called out. Long Hao noticed him and bowed down. "Long Hao greets Long Family Former Head."

Long Family Former Head, Long Shu Ting’s eyes flickered. He waved his hand. "Is that how you call your father?"

Long Hao paused for a moment then repeated his greetings, "Long Hao greets Father."

No one else was surprised by this turn of the event. They all knew that Long Hao was Long Shu Ting’s son but the real reason why Long Hao was always alone was because just seeing him would make Long Shu Ting remember his late wife.

Thus, Long Hao had always been alone.

Lin Xiao was listening with astounded expression. "I didn’t expect him to be the son of the former head."

"Isn’t it obvious?" Princess Lan Yi Hua was instead speechless by Lin Xiao’s question.

"is it?"

"If his position is not high and he didn’t have strong backing, do you think he’ll be locked up in his residence for so long?" Princess Lan Yi Hua argued. Sometimes, she was amused by her husband’s way of thinking that could neglect such clear hint.

Lin Xiao then realized that even though Long Hao was staying in the residence, it was clear that his overall position should be high. He was a genius, that was for sure, but considering that there were other geniuses, the protection he earned must be because his family was his backing.

"Why don’t you show what you have understood from the pillars?" Long Shu Ting asked faintly.

Long Hao looked at his father. "Because if I use my limited understanding to use it, it’ll definitely affect my future."

He had seen the words in the pillars and naturally understood that it was a pillar that was used to increase one’s power and luck. If he didn’t read the full text, the effect would be reduced and he was unwilling to do it.

After all, there was someone who could read it all. He would learn it with Lin Xiao first before reading the entirety of the pillars and used its ability.

Long Shu Ting sighed. "It’ll take a long time for you to learn all of the words. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes!"

"In that case, I and Long Hao will move out of Long Family."

Long Hao was stunned when he heard what his father said. He looked at Long Shu Ting with a dumbfounded expression. "Father, why...."

"Clan Former Head!"

"There’s no need for this, right?"

The elders were also alarmed when they heard what Long Shu Ting said. However, they could see that Long Shu Ting had already decided in his heart that he should leave Long Family.

"You should know that when an ungrateful beast is the one leading the family, there will be no place for us here." Long Shu Ting shook his head.

"Alright. In that case, how about if we move to Xiao Hu Kingdom, Father?" Long Hao grinned cheekily. "Master is going there and I have been wanting to head over there for a long time."

"Master?" Long Shu Ting caught this keyword and his eyebrows arched. He didn’t mind going anywhere because he knew that his brother would surely try to kill him after seeing that Long Shui become the Family Head. What surprised him was that the arrogant Long Hao would actually have a teacher.

"Master?" Long Shui also looked at Long Hao then his eyes moved to look at Lin Xiao before he burst out laughing once more. "That ordinary cultivator is your master? Just how desperate are you to have a youngster as your master?"

Long Hao snorted. "At least, he’s much better than any other master in the world."

"Pfft, how funny." Long Shui snorted. "But since you want to leave so much, I must first assure that you will not leak out the Long Family teaching, am I not?"
