"Then, Your Majesty, who do you favor now? Is it … "The official from before spoke up again and announced his granddaughter's name.
"Although your granddaughter is not bad, compared to her, my daughter has a better chance of winning! My daughter is proficient in the four arts … "Another official spoke up.
"The four arts are nothing. They are too ordinary. My daughter is different. She was once apprenticed to the Dance Queen. Her dancing skills are the essence of the Dance Queen!"
"What's so great about dancing? My granddaughter … "
Just like that, they welcomed the first debate in the Imperial Court today. This was perhaps the first competition of the talented woman. It was a competition outside the court.
"Cough cough!!" The Emperor coughed and interrupted these people's "competition". Then, he said something that surprised everyone —
"Your daughter and granddaughter are both not bad. As expected of the talented ladies of the empire. If it was any other time, I would definitely choose one of you. However, this time, I will still choose Zhen Xiaoyan!"
"Why? If it was a fair fight, she wouldn't have won. "
"You don't have to worry about fairness. If I say it's fair, then it's fair. Although you might think it's impossible, since that brat Ye Lang won against Zhen Xiaoyan, the result is hard to say." The Emperor knew that they still had doubts about fairness.
"Why? Could it be that Your Majesty believes that Ye Lang has the ability to change the result and let Zhen Xiaoyan, that fat and useless girl, win against so many beautiful girls in an impossible fair situation? "
"No, I don't believe that he has this ability!" The Emperor immediately shook his head. Ye Chengtian, who was standing at the side, seemed to agree with this point. It was because Zhen Xiaoyan's condition was too unbelievable. Even a god couldn't change it, let alone Ye Lang, who was always muddle-headed.
"Then …" Before the officials could finish their words, the Emperor used a very sacred and serious attitude to say something that was unbelievable.
"But, I believe in his luck!"
"…" Everyone was silent.
"You can doubt his ability, but you definitely can't doubt his luck! The Goddess of Luck has always doted on him. How enviable! "The Emperor said with deep emotion, as if he was really a little jealous.
"…"
With regards to this, everyone was speechless. They had more or less heard of Ye Lang's miraculous luck. When he squandered, he would often encounter good things in the end. Moreover, these were good things that others could not even beg for.
What many of them didn't know was that Ye Lang's luck wasn't just in terms of squandering. It could also be reflected in other things in life. This was evident from the fact that he had never been injured in an accident. Otherwise, with the way he walked, who knew how many times he had been injured?
In the past, it wasn't strange to have Hu Niu around, but in these five years, when he was walking alone, sometimes there would be a hole in front of him that he didn't see, but would miraculously step on the edge of the hole. Sometimes, when he was walking on the street, there would be falling objects that would obviously hit him, but for some very strange reason, they would either fall in front of him or behind him. In any case, they would always land on the side, and he would always look at them curiously afterwards, and then walk away …
In this situation, he could only borrow the Emperor's words. The Goddess of Luck doted on him too much. She couldn't bear to hurt him even the slightest bit.
"But he's not always so lucky. Many times, he really squanders. How can you be so sure that he will succeed this time?" Someone questioned. This sentence was also a matter of fact. Otherwise, if he wanted to buy something, others would fight to buy it.
"It's not success, it's failure! His goal is to squander! " Ye Chengtian corrected. He then added, "We're just making a small bet. Winning or losing depends on the will of the heavens!"
"Yes, the difference between his bets is to make something that was originally impossible possible, but this doesn't mean that it will definitely happen. So, if you want to bet with us, be prepared to lose money!" The Emperor said with a smile.
Although the Emperor had mentioned the risks, and everyone understood this and didn't think Zhen Xiaoyan would win, there were still many people who placed their bets on Zhen Xiaoyan. This made Zhen Xiaoyan, who was originally extremely unpopular, become a little popular.
The reason for this was very simple. Because the Emperor had placed his bet, these people, in order to express their goodwill to the Emperor, more or less placed their bets on her. This could be said to be a kind of social cost, not a bet.
However, this topic wasn't the focus of everyone's discussion. The focus was still on Ye Lang. They wanted to know where he was, what he was going to do, and how he was going to deal with this competition.
In the beginning, many people were waiting for Ye Lang to do something stupid. No, something crazy. They wanted to see this kind of madness. They felt that it was exciting.
Many people thought that Ye Lang's method of letting Zhen Xiaoyan win was to cripple all his opponents one by one. This was also the only possibility. In terms of her own condition, no matter how hard she tried to change, it was impossible for Zhen Xiaoyan to break out of the cocoon and become a phoenix in a short period of time.
It might be possible if she had a few months' time, but the possibility was very small. Now, she only had about 20 days. Unless she was an immortal, it was almost impossible for a mortal to do it.
However, in the end, everyone was disappointed. Until the end, Ye Lang didn't do anything. Everything was calm!
Could it be that this was just the calm before the storm?
The Talented Ladies and their families still couldn't relax. How could they relax until the last moment? Because of this, when the competition started, the whole scene felt like a war was about to break out. Groups of fully-armed guards, mercenaries, and city guards made the scene very tense!
"What's going on? Are we in the wrong place? Is this the Unrivaled Talented Ladies Competition or the Magic Martial Arts Competition? "Some of the audience members who didn't know the truth asked.
"No, you're not in the wrong place. This is the Unrivaled Talented Ladies Preliminary Competition!" someone answered.
"Then why …"
"You're wondering why there's such an ostentation, right? Because someone is threatening the safety of these Talented Ladies. That's why so many people are anxiously protecting them. "
"What?! Someone is trying to harm these Talented Ladies? Who is it? Tell me, I'm going to destroy him!! "someone said arrogantly. He seemed to be a big shot.
He thought that if he said that, he would get everyone's support. After all, everyone here was here for the Talented Ladies. If anything happened to the Talented Ladies, of course, no one would be willing.
However, he was wrong. Very wrong. Not only did he not get everyone's support, he even got mocked and looked down on by some!
Sorry, brothers and sisters. If there are any chapter names that haven't been deleted, please help me correct them. When Xiao Xiao was organizing the manuscript, sometimes he was careless and didn't delete the chapter names of the physical book.
Also, this was the content of the second volume of the physical book, and it was almost the third volume. However, Xiao Xiao was too lazy to split the volume, so he would always use the first volume …
Thank you for your support. The weather is cold, everyone, please wear more clothes …
