Chapter 265: Setting the Conditions Translator: _Dark_Angel_ Editor: Kurisu

With regards to the Eye of Truth, Ling Han was determined to get it!

Ling Han thought for a moment, then said, “Your Imperial Majesty, the Eye of Truth involves a Mystical Power, and by that time, there will definitely be uncountable numbers of people partic.i.p.ating. Perhaps even elites of the Spiritual Pedestal Tier would shamelessly make a move. I really do not have much confidence.”

Unless he revealed the Black Tower. However, once the Black Tower was out, there would be ultimate elites from G.o.dly tiers descending to s.n.a.t.c.h it. It was much more important than any Mystical Power.

The Rain Emperor laughed, then said, “You don’t have to play the fox in front of me. In the compet.i.tion this time, I have limited the partic.i.p.ants to only those below thirty years old. If you are not able to get first place, then you can only blame yourself for lacking in ability.”

Ling Han thought for a moment. If only those below thirty could partic.i.p.ate, then the only one who could stand against him as an equal was Feng Yan.

“You are a citizen of Rain Country. I want you to defeat Feng Yan in public, to show the might of Rain Country,” the Rain Emperor said. Indeed, it was exactly like what Ling Han had guessed.

Looks like Feng Yan had paraded around too much previously, and he had even casually killed off a number of n.o.ble, wealthy people previously—the Rain Emperor was angered as well. However, no matter how mighty and domineering the Rain Emperor was, he was the ruler of a nation first and foremost, so he could not simply do anything rash.

If he had killed Feng Yan, then that would definitely attract the real elites of the Winter Moon Sect. By that time, even if Rain Country was not destroyed, it would still have to pay a colossal price to soothe the flames of rage of the Winter Moon Sect. This was definitely not something that a mature Emperor would do.

However, should he just allow Feng Yan to behave so arrogantly and do as he liked?

The Rain Emperor was a very domineering man, he naturally could not allow such a troublemaker to create a fuss right in front of his eyes. Since he could not kill Feng Yan, then he would just have to make it so that Feng Yan was defeated publicly, take the edge off his spirit, and teach him a lesson.

Ling Han nodded. Even without the Rain Emperor’s request, he was definitely not going to have any reservations against Feng Yan. If he had the opportunity, he would definitely not mind killing off this guy.

“Go on!” The Rain Emperor waved his hand, and closed his eyes as if he had fallen asleep. Obviously, he was not intending to speak to Ling Han anymore.

Ling Han retreated out of the palace hall, and left the Imperial Palace under Zai Xiang’s escort. The latter turned around and walked two steps, then suddenly turned back round and said, “Ling Han, do not disappoint the hopes of His Imperial Majesty!”

Without waiting for Ling Han’s answer, he stalked off, looking very forceful.

Ling Han shook his head. The Rain Emperor was domineering because he had the ability to support his domineering ways. Every word and movement that Zai Xiang made was an imitation of the Rain Emperor. However, he had only learnt the appearance, yet had not managed to learn the essence.

He could not bother himself to call him to account, and headed back towards Hu Yang Academy instead.

“Ling Han, was it?” A delicate voice was heard from behind him, enchanting and graceful.

Ling Han turned to look, and Xu Ke Xin was standing right behind him, her shapely, delicate body **********, drawing the eyes of anyone who saw her. However, Ling Han did not give her another look, and asked, “Is there anything I can help you with?”

He was now a Black Grade high level alchemist, so there was absolutely no need for him to speak reverently to an Imperial Consort.

“I had not thought that a minor character would have actually become a Grandmaster Alchemist by now!” Xu Ke Xin shook her head, then lowered herself into a slight bow. Her white skirts fluttered, like a flower blooming. “Ke Xin hereby greets Grandmaster!”

Ling Han smiled calmly and said, “I dare not accept. Imperial Consort Xu, your greeting is much too polite.”

Xu Ke Xin stood back up, pursed her lips into a smile, then said, “Grandmaster, Ke Xin would like to make a request of you!”
