Wu Xuanran didn't just say this to Wu Anbang. He also said this to the other princes. In his opinion, his sons had the highest chance of obtaining the secret manual.
Hearing Wu Xuan Ran's question, the smile on Wu Anbang's face immediately froze.
It would have been better if Wu Xuan Ran did not mention this, but when he did, he felt uncomfortable.
Originally, he had already treated the secret manual as his. Who would have thought that at the crucial moment, the white ape would charge in and cause the situation where the secret manual ended up in someone else's hands?
"Father, I did not obtain the secret manual, Fiery Fist," Wu Anbang said with a gloomy face.
"Oh." Hearing Wu Anbang's words, Wu Xuan Ran could not help but reveal a look of surprise.
Then, he looked at the fourth prince, fifth prince, and sixth prince and said, "Then, did one of the three of you obtain it?"
"Father, we did not obtain it either." The three of them hurriedly shook their heads.
"Really?" Wu Xuan Ran could not help but frown.
"Really," the three of them said in unison again.
After confirming that his sons did not obtain the secret manual, Wu Xuan Ran's expression became extremely ugly.
It was a high-grade earth class martial skill, and it was a fire attribute martial skill. Their royal family did not even have such a martial skill. Now that his princes actually said that they did not obtain it, how could his mood be good?
"Then, did any of you obtain it?" Wu Xuan Ran then looked at the others and asked.
"Your Majesty, none of us obtained it." The other participants of the trial all said the same thing.
The secret manual was obtained by Lin Long, he naturally would not be stupid enough to admit it.
"None of you obtained it, did the secret manual grow wings and fly away?" Wu Xuan Ran could not help but angrily say.
"Who took it, quickly take it out."
"This is the crime of deceiving the emperor. If you take it out earlier, His Majesty may spare your lives. If you don't take it out, it will be terrible if they find it later!"
The few eunuchs beside Wu Xuan Ran all said coldly.
However, there was still no one present who admitted to taking it.
"Don't worry, I am only confirming, I will not take the secret manual from your hands." Wu Xuan Ran looked at the youths in front of him with a smile.
However, what made him furious was that no one stood up to admit it.
"Your Majesty, I suggest searching all of them!" A eunuch by Wu Xuanran's side said immediately.
"Alright!" Wu Xuanran answered without hesitation.
Then, a few eunuchs immediately walked towards the young men in front of them. Apart from searching their bodies, the most important thing was the Space Stone.
After that, they even searched the princes. However, what made their faces turn ugly was that they couldn't find the Fiery Fist book in anyone's Space Stone.
"Your Majesty, it seems like there really was an accident and he fell into the secret realm." In the end, they came to this conclusion.
"Forget it." Since it was like this, how could Wu Xuanran continue pursuing the matter?
They simply could not imagine that the Raging Flame Fist Manual was in Lin Long's hands. Lin Long had a Runic Space Ring, and the Raging Flame Fist Manual and most of the other things were stored inside the Runic Space Ring. These people did not understand the Runic Space Ring, so how could they find anything?
"Alright, this time's training ends here. After this, your rewards will be sent to your residences." After saying these words, Wu Xuanran immediately stood up and left.
After Wu Xuanran left, the people at the scene naturally walked out of the palace.
As for Lin Long, he also left with them.
"Young Master Tang, did you see Meng Zhao?" After walking a few steps, Yan Sheng jogged all the way to his side and asked.
"Meng Zhao? Who is it?" Lin Long pretended to be puzzled.
He thought to himself, 'That Meng Zhao has already been killed by me. How could you have seen him?'
"It's the person who was following me just now." Yan Sheng said.
"I don't know about that." Lin Long shook his head.
"Could it be that he died in the secret realm?" Yan Sheng asked suspiciously.
"Since he didn't come out, he should have died. This kind of death is very normal, so Young Master Yan, don't take it to heart." Lin Long said.
"Seems like that's really the case. I originally wanted to wait for him to come out and have a few drinks with you." Yan Sheng sighed.
"That's really a pity." Lin Long also sighed.
"Young Master Tang, why don't we go down and have a drink later?" Yan Sheng then said.
"I have some matters to attend to. Maybe another day." Lin Long declined.
If he were to be with Lin Long, Lin Long might discover that he was an imposter. Hence, he would naturally decline if he could.
"I see." Yan Sheng could not help but feel a little disappointed, but he did not force Lin Long.
After leaving the palace, the two of them went left and right respectively.
They had only taken a few steps when a voice came from behind. "Young Master Tang, please wait for a moment."
Lin Long turned around and saw a middle-aged man and two eunuchs quickly walking towards him.
"You are?" Lin Long asked calmly.
"We are the Sixth Prince's men. The Sixth Prince has invited you to Qingxin Palace as a guest." The middle-aged man smiled and said.
"Thank you, Sixth Prince." Lin Long immediately said.
Then, they walked back to the palace with the middle-aged man leading the way.
He had already planned to get close to the Sixth Prince. Now that the Sixth Prince had invited him, he naturally would not refuse.
However, he did not expect the Sixth Prince to invite him so quickly.
Soon, they arrived at Qingxin Palace in the palace.
After entering the hall, the middle-aged man said to Lin Long, "Young Master Tang, please wait here. The Sixth Prince will be here soon."
"Alright." Lin Long nodded and immediately sat down. He sipped on his tea while waiting.
Not long after, someone hurried in from outside. It was the Sixth Prince, Wu Anyang.
The moment he saw Lin Long, Wu Anyang immediately smiled. "Brother Tang, I was afraid that you wouldn't come."
"Since the Sixth Prince has invited me, how would I dare not come?" Lin Long smiled.
After a round of pleasantries, Wu Anyang suddenly said, "Actually, the reason why I called Brother Tang here is that I want you to help me with something."
"Oh, what is it?" Lin Long was puzzled.
"It's like this. My personal guards have always been short of a vice-captain. I feel that Brother Tang is very good today, so I want you to take on the position of vice-captain. What do you think, Brother Tang?" Wu Anyang said.
"This …" Lin Long looked like he was deep in thought.
Wu Anyang continued, "Brother Tang, I've asked around. Your Tang Family's strength is average. It'll be difficult for you to stand out. Why don't you accept my suggestion?"
"Since the Sixth Prince has said so, how can I refuse, Tang Li?" Lin Long immediately smiled.
"That's good." Wu Anyang nodded in satisfaction. Then, he brought Lin Long to meet his personal guards.
Not long after, they arrived at Wu Anyang's personal guards.
The Sixth Prince's personal guards were neither too many nor too few. Other than the captain and vice-captain, there were about five hundred people.
Most of them were warriors. Moreover, most of them were second-level warriors. Other than that, there were some third-level warriors.
When the two of them arrived at the personal guards' camp, a few people immediately came to greet them.
The leader was a young man in his thirties. Lin Long could tell that this young man had the strength of a fourth-level warrior.
A fourth-level warrior should be the captain here.
As expected, the Sixth Prince pointed at that person and said to Lin Long, "Brother Lin, this is the captain of my personal guards, Kong Zhe."
"Greetings, Captain Kong Zhe." Lin Long nodded.
"Kong Zhe, this is Tang Li. From now on, he will be the vice-captain," the Sixth Prince said to Kong Zhe.
After saying that, Wu Anyang whispered into Kong Zhe's ear, "He is considered my brother. Don't treat him as a subordinate."
Hearing Wu Anyang's words, Kong Zhe could not help but be shocked.
To be honest, he did not think much of Lin Long at first. He even wanted to wait until Wu Anyang left to show Lin Long his strength. But now, after hearing Wu Anyang's words, he did not dare to underestimate Lin Long.
"Sixth Prince, don't worry. Kong Zhe will definitely treat vice-captain Tang well," Kong Zhe hurriedly said.
"Alright then. Brother Tang, familiarize yourself with this place first. I'll make a move first." After saying that, Wu Anyang left.
The reason why Wu Anyang thought so highly of Lin Long was not only because Lin Long had saved him in the mystic realm, but also because he had a feeling that Lin Long was not simple. He would definitely achieve great things in the future.
After Wu Anyang left, Kong Zhe brought Lin Long to familiarize himself with the palace.
Although Lin Long was the vice-captain in name, because of Wu Anyang's words, Kong Zhe treated Lin Long as a distinguished guest.
After familiarizing himself for a period of time, he brought Lin Long back to the personal guard camp and personally arranged a very good room for Lin Long.
After leaving, he still said respectfully, "Vice-captain Tang, if there's anything you need, please let me know."
"Alright." Lin Long nodded.
In the face of such politeness, Lin Long naturally would not decline.
After waiting for the other party to leave, Lin Long immediately took out the Fiery Fist.
After seriously reading it for a while, he could not help but nod. This Fiery Fist was indeed a high-grade earth level martial skill. It was much stronger than the fire attribute martial skill he had learned from Huang Lang.
After that, Lin Long concentrated on practicing this Fiery Fist. After a few hours, he, who had been brewing and pondering, suddenly let out a low roar and smashed his fist forward.
When he punched out, the force of the attack was burning with raging flames.
This was the characteristic of the Fiery Fist.
"Not bad, not bad." Seeing that the Fiery Fist was obviously better than the previous fire attribute martial skill, Lin Long could not help but nod in satisfaction.
Unknowingly, a few days had passed. In these few days, Lin Long had a better understanding of the situation in the palace.
"Vice-captain, someone is looking for you."
On the morning of the fifth day, before he had even left his room, one of the personal guard camp guards who was in charge of his daily life outside the door said so.
"Who is it?" Lin Long asked.
"Vice-captain Tang, it's me, Yuan Wen." A voice immediately sounded outside.
Obviously, the person who was looking for him had already arrived outside his door.
Lin Long recognized this person's voice. It was Lord Gou from before.
Sure enough, when he opened the door, it was Lord Gou standing outside. However, unlike his previous arrogance, Lord Gou was now very polite.
It was not because Lin Long had any official position, but because Lin Long was now obviously a favorite of the Sixth Prince.
"Lord Gou, come in." Lin Long immediately said to Yuan Wen.
"Thank you, Vice-captain Tang." Yuan Wen said as he walked in.
"Lord Gou, what's the matter?" After entering, Lin Long closed the door and asked softly.
