"You're my younger brother, why wouldn't I know? But of course, it's only because I have similar thoughts as you in the past."
Prince Lin San looked at Prince Lin Yan as realization struck him. Right, when their parents were still alive, it was only normal that Prince Lin Yan had the same mindset as him.
Their parents were powerful. With them around, it was clear that Prince Lin Yan always felt protected and it never mattered so much to him about getting stronger. He was not one who got the chance to become the Emperor either. But when they fell, it was clear that Prince Lin Yan had to take the burden by himself.
It was only then he realized that he needed to be more powerful. Cultivators, no matter how strong they were, were still human.
They could die.
