Seventh Princess, that person seems to be the First Prince's Shadow Guard, Dai Hong! "Eunuch Sun, who had returned to stand behind the Seventh Princess, suddenly said.
"Dai Hong?" The Seventh Princess immediately frowned. She had never seen Dai Hong before, but she knew what kind of person he was and what kind of strength he had.
"Yes." Eunuch Sun nodded.
"How could Big Brother let his own men participate in this tournament?" The Seventh Princess's expression darkened.
"I don't know," Eunuch Sun said.
In his heart, he was muttering, "Didn't you start it? If you didn't let your personal guard participate, how would the First Prince dare to let his Shadow Guard participate?"
"Could it be that Big Brother's Shadow Guard is here to target Guard Tang?" The Seventh Princess could not help but be surprised.
"I don't know. Let's wait and see," Eunuch Sun said.
"Okay." The Seventh Princess nodded. The two of them turned their attention back to the tournament stage.
On the other side, Eunuch Ao looked at the other people on the stage. "Alright, there are still two metal balls left. Watch carefully."
With that said, Eunuch Ao threw out the two iron balls in his hands.
This time, he threw them in the middle, not in the direction where Lin Long was.
Seeing this, Lin Long knew that Eunuch Ao was targeting him again.
Lin Long thought to himself, "Someone must be preparing to deal with me again."
"Pa!"
With such a sound, one of the remaining people firmly grabbed one of the metal balls.
However, after the other was snatched by two people, it actually flew towards Lin Long.
At this time, Lin Long was undoubtedly more likely to get the metal ball than the other two people.
How could this kid be so lucky? Seeing this situation, Wu Anbang frowned.
What is Eunuch Ao doing? Lin Guanghan cursed Eunuch Ao in his heart. In his opinion, this was a mistake on Eunuch Ao's part.
As for the Seventh Princess, she was naturally overjoyed. This way, Lin Long would be able to avoid a strong opponent, and could even avoid the Shadow Guard that Wu Anbang had deliberately arranged.
However, no one expected Linlong to remain motionless at this crucial moment. He did not seem to have any intention of snatching the metal ball.
"Tang Li, what are you thinking?" The Seventh Princess could not help but say angrily.
Naturally, Wu Anbang and Lin Guanghan were all smiles.
Brat, you brought this upon yourself. Lin Guanghan laughed in his heart.
Linlong did not try to snatch it, but the two beside him had no intention of giving way. They rushed toward the metal ball as fast as they could.
In the blink of an eye, one of them had the iron ball firmly in his hand, while the other was just a hair's breadth away.
Eunuch Ao pointed at Shadow Guard Dai Hong and said, "Alright, the person with the steel ball can now choose his opponent … you choose first."
Dai Hong wasn't the first person to get his hands on an iron ball, so when Linlong heard Eunuch Ao's words, he knew that Dai Hong was the one who wanted to deal with him.
Even if Eunuch Ao hadn't said that, Linlong had already noticed this person. This was because he could feel the killing intent on this person's body. It was not something that the other Young Masters could compare to.
Even if these young masters were slightly stronger than this person, they would not be a match for this person. This person should not be someone from a big family clan. The reason why he appeared here was probably to target him. Linlong analyzed in his heart.
With his experience, it was easy for him to see through this.
Linlong wasn't the only one who thought so. The Seventh Princess and Eunuch Sun thought so too.
The Seventh Princess frowned and said, "Dai Hong isn't the first person to get his hands on an iron ball. Eunuch Ao must have done this on purpose so that Dai Hong would choose Guard Tang first!"
"I'm afraid that's the case," Eunuch Sun said.
"Eunuch Sun, didn't I ask you to warn Eunuch Ao just now? Why did he still dare to do this?" The Seventh Princess asked.
"I'm afraid that the First Prince told him to do this, so …" Eunuch Sun guessed.
"Hmph, I knew it," the Seventh Princess said coldly.
As they spoke, Dai Hong stepped forward with the steel ball in hand. He wasn't as direct as Wei Yan. Instead, he pretended to scan the crowd before fixing his gaze on Linlong.
He pointed at Linlong and said, "Eunuch Ao, I choose him!"
As expected, a smile involuntarily appeared on Linlong's face.
"Why did this person choose Tang Li? Tang Li's performance just now wasn't weak."
For a moment, the crowd below the stage was confused.
However, they didn't know the inside story, so how could they know why?
On the other side, the Seventh Princess was unhappy. She said coldly, "This Eunuch Ao is really looking down on me."
As she said that, she did something that no one expected. Her figure moved, and she directly shot toward the fourth group's stage.
"Why is the Seventh Princess rushing toward that stage?"
The people who saw the Seventh Princess's action all cried out in surprise.
"Could it be that there's someone she likes on that stage?" someone said immediately after thinking of something.
"So what if there's someone she likes? The rules have already been set. Only the person who gets first place can marry her. Even the Emperor can't change that!" someone said.
While the crowd was discussing such things, the Seventh Princess had already landed on the stage where Linlong was.
"Ah, I remember now. Tang Li is the Seventh Princess's personal guard!"
"Can a personal guard also participate in a martial arts competition?"
"Who knows?"
"Could it be that this martial arts competition was specially made for Tang Li by the Seventh Princess?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? No matter how strong Tang Li is, he won't be a match for Lin Guanghan!"
…
At this time, Wu Xuanran came in front of Eunuch Sun and said coldly, "Eunuch Sun, what's going on?"
"I didn't expect the Princess to suddenly rush over." Eunuch Sun wiped the cold sweat off his forehead.
He really didn't expect it. Otherwise, he would have stopped the Seventh Princess even if he had to die.
On that stage, cold sweat also appeared on Eunuch Ao's forehead when he saw the Seventh Princess suddenly appear.
He knew why the Seventh Princess appeared here. After all, Eunuch Sun had just reminded him not to target Tang Li. However, he was targeting Tang Li because of his relationship with the First Prince. So, how could he listen to Eunuch Sun?
"Seventh Princess, why … why are you here?" Eunuch Ao said guiltily.
"Hmph, if I didn't come, wouldn't I be angered to death by you?" The Seventh Princess said coldly.
"Seventh Princess, forgive me for not knowing," Eunuch Ao said. At this time, he could only play dumb.
"Let me ask you, why did you throw the metal ball at this person? Also, he clearly wasn't the first to get the metal ball. Why did you make him choose first?" The Seventh Princess pointed at Dai Hong and said.
"Well, I just threw it randomly. I didn't mean anything else," Eunuch Ao said.
He knew that he couldn't admit it even if he was beaten to death.
"Is it because he's the First Prince's Shadow Guard? That's why you did this?" The Seventh Princess asked again.
"What? This person is the First Prince's Shadow Guard?"
"Seventh Princess's words are not bad."
"I thought he was from some big family. I didn't expect him to be the First Prince's Shadow Guard. Why did the First Prince do this?"
"Who knows? He probably wants his Shadow Guard to marry the Seventh Princess. That way, he'll have more power."
"How dare you! How dare you say such a thing!"
The crowd started to discuss among themselves.
…
"Seventh Princess, is he the First Prince's Shadow Guard? I really didn't know. "Eunuch Ao wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. He didn't expect the Seventh Princess to say anything.
"Seventh Princess, Dai Hong is indeed the First Prince's Shadow Guard. However, Eunuch Ao doesn't know about this," Dai Hong said hurriedly.
"An Ruo, Eunuch Ao really doesn't know about this." Just then, a voice came from nearby. The owner of the voice was the First Prince, Wu Anbang.
"Oh, is that so? Then why did Big Brother arrange for his Shadow Guard to participate in this competition?" The Seventh Princess stared at Wu Anbang and said.
"An Ruo, isn't Bodyguard Tang also your bodyguard?" Wu Anbang said with a faint smile.
"I don't care about that. Anyway, your Shadow Guard didn't get my permission, so he should be disqualified from participating in this competition!" The Seventh Princess said sternly.
"An Ruo, stop messing around. Anyone with status can participate in this martial arts competition. This Shadow Guard is also someone with status. Therefore, he is qualified to participate!" At this time, Emperor Wu Xuanran, who was standing in front of the main hall, spoke.
Wu Xuanran had to say that. After all, he had allowed Linlong to participate. If he said that he didn't allow Wu Anbang's Shadow Guard to participate, he would be showing the people of Wu Country that he wasn't a man of his word.
"Father, this won't do. This Shadow Guard didn't get my permission?" The Seventh Princess said angrily.
"An Ruo, if you continue to be like this, I will disqualify you from being your personal guard!" Wu Xuanran said in a low voice.
Looking at Wu Xuanran's expression, the Seventh Princess knew that if she persisted, Wu Xuanran would really disqualify Linlong. After all, the Emperor had to keep his word, especially in front of so many people.
At that moment, she could only leave the stage helplessly. Before she left, she naturally glared at Wu Anbang.
As for Wu Anbang, he naturally pretended not to see it.
"Alright, the first round will be between the two of you." Eunuch Ao looked at Linlong and Dai Hong.
After such a commotion, his back was already soaked in cold sweat.
Then, Eunuch Ao let the others choose their opponents. Before long, everyone with the metal balls had chosen their opponents.
Next, Eunuch Ao threw out another metal ball and let the remaining people continue to choose.
After a while, everyone had chosen their opponents.
After that, Eunuch Ao said, "Tang Li and Dai Hong, please come up to the stage."
As soon as he finished speaking, Linlong and Dai Hong jumped onto the stage.
