Rise of the Great Emperor

Chapter 210: Who’s More Shameless?

Lin Xiao swept his gaze to the back and spotted Xia Ye. Since Xia Ye only passed the first stage, he was naturally at the very bottom. Besides, the young man didn’t even bother trying to fight the second stage.

"Xia Ye."

"Your Highness, can I challenge you?" Xia Ye knew what Lin Xiao wanted and immediately stepped forward. He looked at Princess Lan Yi Hua and the princess knew what Lin Xiao wanted.

She smiled. "Sure."

The two of them stepped to the ring. The teacher looked at them and furrowed his brows. Afterwards, he waved his hand, signaling them to start. "You may start."

"I forfeit."

With that, Princess Lan Yi Hua swapped place with Xia Ye, staying at the very bottom of the ranking. The surroundings people were utterly speechless. With this move, it meant that no one would be qualified to challenge Princess Lan Yi Hua anymore.

Prince Lin Hong’s face turned ugly. Beside him, Princess Lan Xiao Yue also looked at her sister with annoyance. She wanted Princess Lan Yi Hua to lose her face, but with this move, the princess didn’t lose her face at all.

Everyone only found it quite bizarre.

"Well, you take my last position. I’ll try to earn the second from last position then," Xia Ye said seriously.

Princess Lan Yi Hua nodded to him. "Work hard."

The others: "..."

Why did it seem as if these people were now trying to get lower ranking instead of high ranking? For the first time in their lives, they saw people coveting people for the last place instead of the first place.

It was truly... bizarre.

Princess Lan Yi Hua walked to Lin Xiao’s side while the latter looked at Prince Lin Hong with a smirk. "Since it’s already settled, I believe you have nothing to say again, right? We’ll be going now."

"You..." Prince Lin Hong wanted to stop them but found himself unable to say anything. He knew that from the moment Lin Xiao spoke, he was doomed to lose. His eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he looked in the direction where Lin Xiao left, but he said nothing in the end and left quietly.

On the other hand, Princess Lan Xiao Yue pursed her lips and then turned around. There were quite a lot of people who coveted the second position, so she had a lot of people who wanted to challenge her.

Tep! Tep!

Walking in the empty corridor, Lin Xiao didn’t seem to be bothered in the slightest bit. Lu Jian had left along with the two girls to try his hand to get a little bit better result while Xia Ye was trying his luck to get the second from last position. Only Wenren Yu, Lin Yun, and Han Jiang who were following Lin Xiao and Princess Lan Yi Hua.

"Thank you," Princess Lan Yi Hua said in low tone.

Lin Xiao scratched his head and laughed. "It’s nothing. When it comes to a battle of who’s more shameless, I naturally wouldn’t want to hand it to anyone. That position should belong to me and me alone!"

Wenren Yu: "..."

Lin Yun: "..." Brother....

Han Jiang: "..."

Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at Lin Xiao for a moment. This was not the first time someone tried to act kind to her, but in the past, she would be able to see through their real intention. On the other hand, she couldn’t see what Lin Xiao wanted at all. It was as if he simply wanted to help her without asking for anything.

"Why do you want to help me?" Princess Lan Yi Hua finally asked bluntly. She felt that ruminating by herself wouldn’t grant her any answer.

Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. "Haven’t I told you that I only want you to stay by my side?"

"Stay by your side?"

"Yes."

"But I...."

"You’re a powerful person and I believed that you simply didn’t show anything in your hand because you’re waiting for the right time." Lin Xiao smiled. "I just liked you. That’s all."

Lin Yun: "..." Brother, couldn’t you be more colorful in your confession? He felt that if one were to list the world worst’s confession, his brother’s would surely stand at the very top with no one could contend with him.

Princess Lan Yi Hua was silent for a while. She closed her eyes for a moment then opened it again. "I don’t like you yet, but I don’t mind staying with you like this."

Lin Xiao smiled. "Don’t worry, you’ll fall for me."

The others: "..." how confident.

This time, Princess Lan Yi Hua merely smiled at Lin Xiao’s confidence. She looked at the hall that they were about to pass. It was the place to test their mental state before, which they didn’t take because of the fallout with Teacher Su Luo.

"I want to take back Hua Lan Kingdom. My ’sweet’ sister didn’t deserve it at all," Princess Lan Yi Hua said in cold tone. Her chilling expression could easily make one feel terrified when they looked at it. it was completely contrasting her usual demure and plain expression that she had on her face.

Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. "You want to be the Empress?"

"If it meant that I can take the kingdom back from my sister, why not?" Princess Lan Yi Hua asked back in a low tone. She stepped into the hall and smiled faintly. "I’m bidding my time, so if you can help me to grow stronger, I’ll be very grateful."

Lin Xiao arched his eyebrows. "My goal is to sit in that place. Naturally, I’m also bidding my time and try to get stronger."

"Right." Princess Lan Yi Hua looked at the stairs and chuckled. "The result wouldn’t be recorded, right?"

"Shouldn’t be." Lin Xiao looked at the stairs too. "Want to try?"

"Yes." Princess Lan Yi Hua’s eyes shone with excitement, the light that had never appeared on her eyes before. It made her looked extremely lovely.

Seeing that, Lin Xiao smiled. "Then, let’s try it."
