Chapter 328: Totally Seeking Abuse

“Hmph, if you wish to compete, then so be it! My Nan Xia Country is full of talented people, how can we be afraid of your Dong Xing Country?” The first prince knew his intentions and also realized a good opportunity for him to establish his might, so he didn’t back down. Also, the envoy’s provocative words had infuriated him to a point where he could not keep quiet.

Some of the officials looked agreeable, but others seemed disapproving of the first prince’s actions.

Ling Chuxi inwardly sighed. Wasn’t the first prince usually sinister, malicious, and scheming? Why was he being so impulsively today? He really wasn’t that clever. Did he even consider what could happen next? If he could defeat his opponent, it would be good, but what if he could not? Raising her head to sneak a glance at the emperor, she noticed that the emperor was expressionless. Nobody could guess his thoughts.

Since the first prince had already said that, nobody could say anything else. Very quickly, an ordinary-looking young man walked in. The crowd made way and an empty space was created in the palace hall.

Ling Chuxi realized that it was the young man with the surname Xiao from that day – the one who had admitted defeat and ruined her learning. Fu Chengyu was right, he really had appeared at this birthday banquet. What that young man said last time about not delaying main matters must have been referring to today.

“This is one of the rising stars of the younger generation of our Dong Xing Country – his name is Xiao Tianfan. I’m curious as to who the first prince is going to send out for this battle,” the envoy said thoughtfully.

Everyone looked at Xiao Tianfan. His looks and dressing were ordinary, but there was an undeniable calmness to him. His cultivation seemed to be at about Level-8.

Ling Chuxi had long known that the Xiao family senior and junior brothers could hide their actual cultivation. His actual cultivation was definitely at the realm of the Great Fulfilment. If she were to exchange blows with him, she would surely be able to comprehend the mystery behind the Turning Cloud Gesture. Ling Chuxi shifted in agitation, finding it hard to suppress her excitement.

Before Ling Chuxi could volunteer herself for the battle, the first prince strode forward boldly.

“If it is to make my Imperial Father happy, then I am naturally obliged,” the first prince declared, his valiant expression inspiring respect in quite a few people. A surge of strong Battle Qi flowed out of him, indicating that he was at the Level-9 Primary stage.

The crowd exclaimed in surprise. Nobody would have thought that the first prince actually had the cultivation of Battle Qi Level-9. In the past, there were rumors about the ninth prince having Battle Qi Level-9, and being the number one expert amongst the many princes in Nan Xia Country; only now did they realize that the first prince was no weaker than him.

Indeed, Nan Xia Country was a country established in martial arts! The officials were feeling both agitated and comforted, while the emperor remained poker-faced and unreadable.

No wonder he was so eager to accept the challenge! He wasn’t impulsive, just extremely confident.

Though the crowd admired the strong cultivation of the first prince, Ling Chuxi was speechless. It was obvious that the first prince thought his opponent was at Battle Qi Level-8 and volunteered because he felt that he would win. ‘This idiotic first prince! Does he think Battle Qi Level-9 makes him invincible? Does he knew that his opponent was at the realm of Great Fulfilment?! People say that knowing oneself and knowing one’s opponent would ensure a thousand victories, but the first prince actually went to battle without knowing his opponent’s actual cultivation. This is definitely the beginning of a tragedy; his reputation will be ruined! To tell him now would be too late and might even have the opposite effect. Either way, it was the first prince who was seeking abuse.’

Ling Chuxi sighed. She had originally wanted to volunteer for the battle and properly research that young man’s Turning Cloud Gesture, but now her plans were ruined. The succulent roasted duck which was just within her reach had flown away once again. Ling Chuxi was extremely unhappy!
