Chapter 22:
Yu Kuan looked at Lin Fan with a serious expression before saying, "The imperial family has many princes and princesses, but only three are considered legitimate heirs. The strongest among them, and the first miracle, is the First Prince, Yi Feng. It is said that he has already reached the peak of the Soul Birth Realm!"
Lin Fan maintained a calm expression, as he had expected this considering the First Prince's power in the Great Empire Wars of the novel.
"Then there is the Second Prince, Yi Xuan. Although his strength isn't like that of his older brother, he is no less terrifying. He is incredibly intelligent and relies on tactics and strategies in battle. He also has significant support behind him, with his twin sister, Yi Rou, who is just as strong as he is, supporting him fully for the throne. If she were not a woman, she would have been a legitimate heir as well!"
Lin Fan smiled as he listened, thinking, 'Twins? They won't be much of a problem.'
Yu Kuan's expression shifted to one of disdain before he continued, "And finally, the Fourth Prince, Yi Long. Don't worry about him; he's just a lazy trash who only became a legitimate heir because his mother is the Emperor's favorite concubine. Although there are rumors about his transformation this year and that he's grown a bit stronger, reaching the advanced stages of Qi Condensation, he is still very weak and not worth any attention."
"Despite the strength of the princes, the Emperor remains the biggest obstacle. He is in the seventh tier of the Soul Transformation Realm, surpassing the second strongest person in the empire by two full tiers, and he is the ancestor of the Thunder Body Clan!"
Lin Fan froze slightly upon hearing this, then suddenly jumped up from the soft couch, excitement radiating from him. "Wait, what did you say, Yu Kuan? Repeat what you just said!"
Yu Kuan and Yu Ming were both surprised by Lin Fan's sudden enthusiasm, not understanding the strange shift in his behavior. "I… I said the Emperor is the biggest obstacle…"
"No, not that! About the Fourth Prince!" Lin Fan interrupted Yu Kuan, his excitement growing.
"That trash? You said he's just weak and careless, but a year ago, he fully transformed and began cultivating seriously. He rapidly advanced to the advanced stages of Qi Condensation, and it's said that the Emperor provided him with many high-level pills to help him progress so quickly."
"Yesssss!!" Lin Fan shouted enthusiastically, raising his hands in the air, laughing maniacally. Shock and confusion were clearly visible on the faces of Yu Kuan and Yu Ming.
'What's going on with Lin Fan? Has he lost his mind or what?' Yu Ming thought in surprise, having been massaging Lin Fan's back until he suddenly stood up and began laughing like a madman.
'Why did Lin Fan get so excited when I mentioned the Fourth Prince? Could there be a secret about him that Lin Fan knows?' Yu Kuan pondered analytically, surprised and trying to find a logical reason for Lin Fan's sudden enthusiasm.
'Yes, yes, yes! I'm not the only reincarnated one, this is all the makings of a typical hero. This game is going to be so much more fun, ha ha ha!' Lin Fan thought, his excitement burning within him, before quickly giving out orders.
"Yu Kuan, Yu Ming, get out of here and tell everyone that no one is allowed to enter this room until I leave myself. Start preparing to depart, and when I'm done, I'll meet you all in front of the city gates!"
Yu Kuan and Yu Ming exchanged looks of confusion before Yu Kuan nodded and replied, "Alright, we'll be waiting for you at the gates then."
'There must be a secret behind Lin Fan's strange behavior. The Fourth Prince… It seems I need to investigate his movements more and start gathering all the information about him.' Yu Kuan thought shrewdly, planning his next steps within a few seconds.
Then Yu Kuan and his son left the room, closing the door behind them, leaving Lin Fan alone as he had instructed.
"Yi Long is reincarnated like me... What if he has opportunities stronger than mine and what I know? No, I can't let him catch up to me or surpass me!"
"This will completely change the game balance. All my plans need to be revised. This could be an enormous opportunity, but it could also be the reason for my downfall and failure to achieve my ambitions. Damn! I'm so excited! I was worried it would become boring!" Lin Fan lightly bit his finger as he paced back and forth, muttering quietly to himself, his mind never stopping, making assumptions and adjustments constantly.
"Yi Long started his transformation a year ago, so he must have reincarnated at the same time as me. He would have been at the same level as me if not for my progress thanks to Xiao Mi yesterday. He's likely to be at the same level as the original Lin Fan, the typical hero. But these are just assumptions; he might be stronger. The only way to confirm he's weaker than me and make myself stronger is to cut off his opportunities. I must cut off all the chances he gets and take his power. Maybe he has some strange ring or something like that!" Lin Fan continued to mutter quietly, his mind working non-stop, offering solutions and constantly tweaking his plans accordingly.
The atmosphere inside the room became charged with tension as Lin Fan's rapid breathing and muttering were the only sounds heard, before his smile widened, resembling a crescent moon. "Yi Long… I'll make sure to fully take advantage of you!"
