"These three hornless dragons are so strange that each of them has the aura of Princess Ruoli's blood contract with them. There must be some kind of concealment spell so there must be a mix of the real and fake auras. Even the other Rank 4 beast appraisers can't tell, so how could Lin Jin? He must have done it on purpose," Feng Zishan concluded.
Just like Feng Ziyong, Feng Zishan had learned about the three hornless dragons from the Rank 4 beast appraisers they had hired. Feng Zishan had always been quick-witted so he knew that this was probably a test Princess Ruoli had given them.
'Using some kind of spell to fake the power of a blood contract to confuse the public, we can only judge from other aspects. The three hornless dragons look almost the same except for some details and colors. Yes, one of them must be Princess Ruoli's favorite color. That's what she's trying to test us on. ' Feng Zishan's mind raced. Noticing Princess Ruoli's attire and color scheme, his eyes lit up. He stood up and said, "Princess Ruoli, Zishan knows that the hornless dragon is your pet beast."
The two Rank 4 beast appraisers behind Feng Zishan were stunned. 'Second Prince, what are you trying to do? I don't know anything so how did you know?'
The two of them wanted to stop Feng Zishan, but at this time, Feng Zishan had already stepped out and rushed down before Feng Ziqian.
Feng Ziyong was the most depressed of all. Seeing that his two younger brothers had come to a conclusion, he was so anxious that sweat beaded on his forehead.
"Appraiser Yan, hurry up and give me a definite answer. I can't wait any longer," Feng Ziyong said anxiously.
Being able to marry Princess Ruoli was very important to him. Not only because he could obtain the support of the Thousand Island Nation and the favour of his Imperial Father, but also because Princess Ruoli's voice and figure were impeccable. To be able to marry such a peerless beauty was also a very satisfying thing.
Hence, Feng Ziyong didn't want to lose nor could he.
Appraiser Yan looked troubled. "Your Highness, I really can't tell the difference in such a short amount of time. Not just me, but the other beast appraisers as well."
"Then why did they all come to a conclusion?" Feng Ziyong looked incredulous.
"This …" Appraiser Yan mused, 'How would I know?' After some thought, he said, "Maybe they're trying to get the upper hand by guessing."
"What do you mean?" Feng Ziyong was taken aback.
"First Prince, you've also seen it just now. At first, the Second Prince didn't intend to speak. However, when he saw the Third Prince stand up and speak, he couldn't hold it in any longer. I think the Second Prince is unwilling to be outdone, so he decided to take the risk. After all, if he goes up and points at any one of them, he has a thirty percent chance of getting the right one. If he doesn't go, he'll have no chance at all."
Needless to say, Appraiser Yan's analysis made sense. The crown prince, Feng Ziyong, immediately came to a realization.
"Yes, yes, that must be it. Second Brother has always been cunning, he must be thinking this way. No, I can't fall behind." After Feng Ziyong understood, he immediately got up and rushed over.
At this moment, the three princes walked to Princess Ruoli one after another. This scene was really rare and very wonderful.
Princess Ruoli didn't speak. She just smiled and looked at the three princes.
Feng Ziyong was the first to speak. His voice was loud. He pointed at a random Hornless Dragon and said, "Princess Ruoli, this is your blood pact beast. The other two aren't."
This point was firm and decisive, without the slightest bit of hesitation. He wanted to seize this opportunity. Feng Ziyong knew that if it was just a random guess, the first to speak would have the highest chance of success, so he had to be the first to speak.
Strictly speaking, a thirty percent chance wasn't small.
Feng Zishan was stunned. He didn't expect his eldest brother to be 'smart' this time. At first, Feng Zishan's expression changed, but when he saw the Hornless Dragon Feng Ziyong pointed at, he was relieved. The color of this Hornless Dragon was different from the dress Princess Ruoli was wearing today. According to Feng Zishan's theory, this one definitely wasn't the Hornless Dragon.
Sure enough, Princess Ruoli shook her head. "The First Prince is wrong."
"Wrong?" Feng Ziyong's heart sank. He thought to himself that he was unlucky. Sure enough, a thirty percent chance was too small.
Feng Zishan was afraid that his third brother Feng Ziqian would beat him to it, so he immediately pointed at the Hornless Dragon in the middle and said, "Princess Ruoli, this one is the Hornless Dragon, the others aren't."
Feng Zishan, who was originally full of confidence, also stiffened when he saw Princess Ruoli shake her head.
"He's wrong too!"
After Princess Ruoli finished speaking, Feng Ziyong and Feng Zishan's expressions darkened. There was only one Hornless Dragon left. They could even guess it with their eyes closed.
"Third Brother's luck is too good. Damn it, why was I so anxious just now?"
Both of them had the same thought.
There was no need to mention the unwillingness in their hearts.
Just when both of them thought that their third brother would definitely point to the last Hornless Dragon, they saw Feng Ziqian say, "Princess Ruoli, if I'm not mistaken, these three Hornless Dragons are your blood pact beast, right?"
What?
Feng Ziyong and Feng Zishan were stunned at first, then they were overjoyed.
Had their third brother been kicked in the head by a donkey?
How could he mess up a sure-win situation? Anyone with a little common sense would know that while there were indeed ways to form a blood pact with two beasts, there was no such thing as forming a blood pact with three beasts.
This was common sense. Just like how fish couldn't survive on land, they would take off their clothes in hot weather and use an umbrella in the rain.
Although they didn't know why Feng Ziqian messed up on purpose, it was a good thing for Feng Ziyong and Feng Zishan. With this, they still had a chance.
Unbeknownst to them, after Feng Ziqian finished speaking, Princess Ruoli's eyes glinted with surprise and delight. Then, she said something that left everyone dumbfounded.
"How did His Highness figure it out?"
Something wasn't right.
Why did it feel like he got the answer right?
Feng Ziqian was honest and didn't claim credit for himself. "Princess Ruoli, I didn't figure it out myself. It was my good friend, Appraiser Lin, who figured it out. It's not my doing."
Feng Ziqian was being reasonable. He wasn't arrogant, nor would he exaggerate the truth.
Princess Ruoli looked at Feng Ziqian again and found him the most pleasing to the eye among the three princes. He was the first to come up with a conclusion but he waited until the other two brothers spoke first. Not only that, he didn't claim credit for it either. It was rare to see someone with such a mindset.
"Your Highness, you are right," Princess Ruoli said.
She didn't say anything else.
There was no need to say anything, because she had already said what she needed to say. As a woman of the Imperial Family, she was very clear about her future, especially when it came to marriage. It was impossible for her to make the decision herself. However, she was also an extremely intelligent woman. Since she had to marry one of the three people, she had to make the choice herself. Feng Ziqian was right. All three hornless dragons were her blood contracted pet beasts. To her, only a handful of beast appraisers would be able to tell this. Most likely, the three princes would choose one each so all she needed to do was to pick the one that caught her eye.
In this regard, Princess Ruoli felt lucky. She had always thought that the Third Prince was a better choice. To her surprise, he actually got it right.
This meant that the Third Prince had the support of an expert and his future was limitless.
