Chapter 1268

Now he finally had the qualifications to meet these noble Highnesses!

"That is truly wonderful…" The smile on the steward's face deepened a few degrees.

Hurry put the gift down and let the Master have a look.

The steward had been respectful from start to finish, possessed fine breeding, and gave one no cause for the slightest displeasure. It was precisely for this reason that Lin Cheng had decided to come.

The mysterious chest that required four burly men working together to carry was carefully opened by the steward. Instantly a wave of heat radiated outward from within. Lin Cheng stepped closer to look and saw that it contained a massive slab of mysterious metal resembling black iron. An even more scorching wave of heat rushed toward him, and the four burly men around it had already retreated several meters away.

"Legend has it… it is a divine-grade material produced only when a star falls from the heavens. It was also something my Young Master selected from among thousands to prepare as a modest gift for you, Master. I hope Master will be pleased with it."

"Ding! Discovered one of the materials that can repair the Canyon Space! Star Core (Incomplete)! Please make sure the Host obtains it."

Lin Cheng nodded with an air of calm nonchalance on his face, though inwardly he was quite startled. So soon he'd found the second treasure to repair the Canyon?

Even if the system hadn't said so, he still had to obtain it.

"This gift is truly no small matter. The very name Star Core gave me quite a fright."

"Master jests."

Saying so, Lin Cheng waved his hand and swept the Star Core along with the outer chest straight into the system space. The Star Core's temperature was so extreme that the chest used to contain it could hardly be an ordinary item.

Such a bargain would be a waste not to take.

"This way please 〃〃."

The steward paid it no mind, merely stretching out a hand in warm invitation.

Following the steward to a room on the second floor of the Flying Fox Wine House facing the street, Lin Cheng realized that this so-called Highness had actually been observing them the whole time. Looking down to the right from the private room's window, one could see exactly the front door of the shop Lin Cheng had opened.

This position was simply an absolutely perfect spot!

"You've arrived, Master Lin Cheng." The handsome and talented Crown Prince Li Jian rose to his feet with a smile to greet him.

"Lin Cheng greets Your Highness."

Lin Cheng bent at the waist and cupped his hands.

Although he did not know who the young man before him was, since the other party dared to call himself Highness, addressing him thus could not be wrong.

"Please rise quickly! Master Lin Cheng, there is no need for such formality."

Lin Cheng nodded and also raised the teacup in his hand.

A sip of warm tea entered his stomach, driving away the chill of the early morning.

"May I ask what business Your Highness has with me?"

Lin Cheng's proactive inquiry prompted Crown Prince Li Jian to first counter with a question of his own, putting on a mysterious smile.

Master Lin Cheng, aren't you curious about my identity?

"Since Your Highness dares to call himself Highness, I imagine Your Highness must have his own confidence to back it."

"There probably wouldn't be the nerve to dare call myself Highness… and besides, with the steward presenting such a precious material as a gift to me, even if you weren't a Highness, what harm is there in addressing you as one."

Lin Cheng's face was perfectly calm as well, seemingly unconcerned with what identity the man before him actually held. In any case, the man had come to find him, and that was all that mattered.

Even if the other party had merely come to have morning tea with him.

"Master Lin Cheng is indeed worthy of being called Master. This boldness and courage are beyond what ordinary people can match."
