12: The Lost Prince

Qin Family Main Hall.

The crowd that had come to offer congratulations had scattered and departed.

Those remaining were members of several sects that were on good terms with the Qin Family.

【At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name. Go to kn.com for Taiwan novels. It's super helpful.】

As well as the four-crown king and the six-crown king.

Lin Xuan of the Heavenly Demon Sect followed the crowd and exited the Qin Family estate.

At this moment, he could be described as having earned a fortune.

The gifts he had sent out had all been secretly retrieved by him.

Of course, it wasn't him who acted, but his Golden Finger—the Soul of an ancient Great Emperor.

Three hundred bowls of immortal liquid and over four hundred divine fruits.

With such gains, it was no wonder Old Dan insisted on coming to the Son of the Emperor's full moon banquet.

So that was why!

Lin Xuan's heart was blooming with joy.

His steps felt much lighter as he walked.

With this immortal liquid, breaking through to the Wheel Sea Realm would be as easy as reaching for something in his pocket!

However, he first had to leave the Qin Family's territory, find a cave, and Cultivate the Liezhen Realm to its limit.

He left the Qin Family.

Many people were riding their mounts, departing in a hurry.

Mounts were not allowed inside the Qin Family estate and had to be left outside.

After Lin Xuan left the Qin Family...

He had no mount, but a masked person was waiting for him quietly under the moonlight.

The masked person wore a set of black clothes, making their true appearance unclear.

However, their body emitted a foul stench.

Seeing the person, Lin Xuan quickened his pace and reached the masked figure in a few strides.

"Greetings, Master."

The masked person's voice was hoarse as they knelt on one knee and spoke dully.

"Go, find me a cave. This seat is about to make a Breakthrough."

Lin Xuan ordered directly.

This was a Puppet refined for him by Old Dan, and it was absolutely loyal.

Crucially, this Puppet was at the Great Perfection of the Wheel Sea Realm, far stronger than Lin Xuan.

With him as a Protector, Lin Xuan could Breakthrough with peace of mind.

"Yes, Master."

The masked person quickly stood up to lead the way for Lin Xuan.

The two figures quickly vanished into the dark night.

After they disappeared, a small point of light flashed out from the shadows.

A young child's lips curled into a smile.

Beside the child, a maidservant followed.

"Hui Lan, follow them."

"Don't alert them yet. Everything will be done according to my command."

The child said to the maidservant beside him.

"Yes, Young Master!"

The maidservant waved her hand gently, and the two of them hid within the Void Realm, disappearing from sight.

Although Hui Lan was a maidservant, her cultivation had long since reached the Sage Realm.

Aside from Quasi-Emperors and Great Emperors, Hui Lan was invincible in this world.

Tracking someone in the Liezhen Realm was effortless for her.

However, she couldn't understand why the Young Master was so concerned about someone in the Liezhen Realm.

Moreover, how old was the Young Master? He had already learned how to stalk someone.

As expected of the Son of the Emperor.

His thinking was advanced and far beyond that of ordinary people.

Qin Feng was in no hurry to strike.

Although they had left the Qin Family's territory, a Great Emperor's Divine Sense was enough to cover this area.

He didn't want his mother and the others to discover that he was a bloodthirsty arch-villain.

He had to be at least a million li away before he could act... Half an hour later.

Lin Xuan arrived at a dense forest.

Here, mist swirled, ancient trees reached for the sky, and vines were visible everywhere.

From time to time, the roar of a Yao Beast could be heard.

Without a second thought, Lin Xuan plunged inside.

Then, he released his Divine Sense to search for a hidden cave.

A moment later, his expression changed drastically.

Because within his perception, he discovered a child in front of a cave.

The child was holding two divine fruits, eating them with tireless delight.

"The Son of the Emperor...?"

"What is he doing in a place like this!"

Lin Xuan was suddenly startled.

That's right, he had seen that child before; it was the Son of the Emperor he had seen in the Qin Family Main Hall.

However, Lin Xuan couldn't understand why a child would run to such a remote and uninhabited place.

"It really is the Son of the Emperor!"

A voice rang out in Lin Xuan's mind.

"Be extremely careful; do not provoke him."

"You can try to approach and befriend him. Perhaps this is the benefit of being a Child of Fortune."

"If you can trick him out of a few treasures, it will be enough to get you through the early stages."

Old Dan said solemnly.

"Understood, Old Dan."

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, kept the Puppet behind him, and walked toward the cave.

As he walked, he deliberately acted nonchalant, as if he hadn't noticed the Son of the Emperor.

On Qin Feng's side, the System kept giving prompts.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

"The Child of Fortune is approaching. Host, please be careful."

"Lin Xuan, luck value 999. Hunting him will grant 100 luck value."

Listening to the System's voice, the smile on Qin Feng's face became more and more brilliant.

He looked completely harmless!

A moment later, Lin Xuan passed through layers of dense forest and arrived before the cave.

"Huh!"

"The Son of the Emperor?"

As he drew near, Lin Xuan feigned the surprise of a chance encounter.

"Greetings, Son of the Emperor!"

Then, Lin Xuan politely cupped his hands.

"No need for such formality. You are?"

Qin Feng gave a naive smile and asked with feigned confusion.

At this moment, he could already see the Luck above Lin Xuan's head.

A red box displayed: 【luck value +999】

With a luck value of less than a thousand, he was indeed a Child of Fortune.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

"Lin Xuan is only a low-level Child of Fortune; his luck value is not high."

"Consider him an experience pack for the Host."

"Even so, the Host must not be careless."

The System prompted.

It was deeply afraid that Qin Feng would charge in directly and become cannon fodder.

"Mm, don't worry!"

"He's just an experience pack."

Qin Feng responded to the System in his mind, full of confidence.

According to the System, the mission would only be considered complete if he personally killed the target.

However, for the first mission, the System allowed outside assistance.

In other words, he could let Hui Lan heavily injure him first, and then he would just go in for the finishing blow.

"Son of the Emperor, I am Lin Xuan of the Heavenly Demon Sect. I attended your full moon banquet today!"

"I was just preparing to head back."

"I didn't expect to run into you here."

Lin Xuan looked at the cute Son of the Emperor and continued to speak politely.

According to his thoughts, the Son of the Emperor wasn't scary.

What was scary was his mother.

"Old Dan, use your supreme technique to check if there are any experts around."

"Alright!"

Old Dan's Divine Sense spread out, an ancient technique weaving through the forest.

"Everything is normal. There is only this child."

"Unless the opponent's strength has reached the Sage Realm, it's impossible for them to escape my Dharma Eye."

After scanning the area, Old Dan said confidently.

"He's just a child; it's normal for him to have a playful nature and run around everywhere."

Old Dan's Divine Sense returned to Lin Xuan's body, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

With Old Dan's confirmation, Lin Xuan's posture straightened significantly.

Since there were no experts protecting him, there was no need for him to be so timid.

"Son of the Emperor, does your family know you've run out here all alone?"

Lin Xuan grinned and asked as he slowly approached.

"Hehe!"

"I snuck out behind my mother's back. It was too boring at home, so I came out to get some fresh air."

Qin Feng looked innocent and romantic. He took a bite of a divine fruit and then whispered:

"Lin Xuan, is your Heavenly Demon Sect fun?"

"How about I go to your Heavenly Demon Sect to play for a bit?"

Qin Feng acted like a lost child who was very easy to talk to.

It seemed that with just a bit of deception, he could be led away.

"Going to my Heavenly Demon Sect is not out of the question."

"On the condition that you share some of your treasures with me."

Lin Xuan had a sudden inspiration and spoke as the situation allowed.
