Hearing the blue-robed man say that the Third Prince had already made arrangements for his departure, everyone looked at each other. Their faces were filled with joy, and they finally felt relieved.
Since it was the Third Prince's arrangement, they had nothing to say. They just had to see who won and who lost.
Not long after, everyone dispersed. The blue-robed man returned to his room without a word. He raised his head and saw two figures standing in the hall. His expression immediately changed, and he closed the door. He turned around and bowed, "Greetings, Your Highness. Greetings, purple-robed messenger!"
"Has everything been arranged?" The purple-robed man looked at him and asked.
"Replying Emissary, everything has been arranged." The blue-robed man quickly nodded and said, "Tomorrow is the second round of the examination against the Jing Kingdom. When the time comes, Your Highness can follow the envoy into the palace."
"Your Highness's status..." The purple-robed man spoke again.
"The Third Prince has already made arrangements for this. There is no need to worry about anyone else. As for the court of the Jing Kingdom, they will not question us too much during the examination." The blue-robed man explained. He then hesitated, "However, the two countries have already limited the competition to the young talents. Your Highness, I'm afraid..."
"Your Highness will make arrangements for this. You may leave." The purple-robed man waved his hand. The blue-robed man immediately left, but he did not go far. He sat at a stone table in the middle of the courtyard, paying attention to what was going on.
After the blue-robed man left, the purple-robed man spoke again, "Your Highness, the palace is heavily guarded. The Emperor has many highly skilled fighters by his side. Your Highness, you must be careful tomorrow."
The middle-aged Taoist nun in the loose Taoist robe naturally knew that the imperial palace was heavily guarded and that there were many masters. Even though she was a grandmaster, it was impossible for her to sneak in without making a sound. She did not answer directly, but after a while, she asked about another matter.
"These two days, the believers in the capital have been talking about the 'Empress of Heaven'?"
The purple-clothed man's expression froze, and he immediately said, "Yes, on that day, there were nearly a hundred people who saw the 'Empress of Heaven'. It was impossible to hide it. Among them, there was a person who was skilled in painting, and he drew a portrait of the 'Empress of Heaven'. It spread among the believers, and I'm afraid that it won't be long before not only the capital, but even believers in other places will hear of this matter."
Thinking of the scene he saw with his own eyes that day, a trace of disbelief appeared on the purple-clothed man's face, and then he said, "It was this subordinate's carelessness that caused today's chaos. Please punish me, Your Highness."
If this were to continue, there would be a new Empress in the Holy Church.
The middle-aged Daoist nun waved her hand and said, "Guanyin has a thousand faces, the Empress of Heaven naturally has more than one face. There is no harm in this matter."
The purple-robed man was stunned for a moment. Then, a look of admiration appeared on his face as he said, "Your Highness is brilliant!"
Although the sudden appearance of a new Empress brought them a lot of trouble to a certain extent, it also made those believers even more pious, achieving a miraculous effect that they had used countless methods to achieve.
"How is that matter going?" The middle-aged Daoist nun paused and suddenly asked.
"In reply to Your Highness, I have recently sent many people to add fuel to the fire. Everything is going smoothly. The Heroes' Assembly will be held in two months." The purple-robed man's face was filled with excitement as he said, "With Your Highness personally taking action, the Chancellor of the Wulin Alliance will be in the bag. If you can command those people, the Holy Religion will definitely undergo earth-shattering changes, and great things will be possible!"
Thinking of the young woman she met in Qing 'an Prefecture, the middle-aged Daoist nun lightly said, "Don't be careless. In these two months, collect important information at all times."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The purple-robed man responded. As he watched the Goddess's figure disappear from the room, he thought to himself, Those Grandmasters are elusive and will most likely not appear at the Heroes' Assembly. If that's the case, who will be a match for the Goddess?

…
Li Yi did not pay attention to the first round of the combat examination. He only knew that Li Xuan had won in the end, and had won rather easily. Once the heavenly punishment was unleashed, the envoy of the Qi Kingdom was wholeheartedly convinced.
As for the second round of the combat examination, he was rather interested and arrived at the Imperial Palace early in the morning.
This time, he was not alone.
The Empress was a motherly model of the nation. She was concerned about the two prefectures that had suffered from drought this summer. After allocating funds from the national treasury, she summoned most of the socialites and noble ladies in the capital to the Imperial Palace for a charity event. Ruyi was also invited and entered the Imperial Palace with him in the morning. Just now, she had gone to the Empress's place with the Crown Princess.
This was a way for the women, led by the Empress, to do their best for the country. Naturally, it had nothing to do with Li Yi or Li Xuan.
When Li Yi arrived at the Imperial Palace, he realized that he had arrived early. There was still quite a long time before the combat examination. Bored, he squatted in a corner and played chess with Princess Shouning. Yong Ning sat beside him and watched.
After teaching her the stone and wooden stick chess last time, the outcome of their game was not ideal. This time, Li Yi would not continue to seek abuse and taught her a new game of Beast Chess.
Because the rules of this game were simple and easy to learn, Princess Shouning lost a few games when she was not very familiar with the rules. Then, she quickly found the knack and fought with Li Yi to a stalemate.
At a certain moment, a smile suddenly appeared on the proud Lolita's face. She moved the chess piece made of paper to a certain position and said, "I won!"
Li Yi picked up the chess piece that had been forced into a corner and calmly flew over the head of Princess Shouning's chess piece. He said, "Don't be complacent too early …"
The proud Lolita was stunned and exclaimed, "Why can your elephant move like this?"
Li Yi curled his lips and said, "You don't know about this. This is a little dumbo. It can fly over the head of your chess piece …"
Princess Shouning glanced at him and nodded as if she understood. A moment later, a smug look appeared on her little face again.
"You should be dead now, right?"
"I forgot to tell you. This is a gopher." Li Yi curled his lips again and calmly passed the chess piece under her chess piece.
"…" The proud Lolita's eyes widened. Then, she grinned, revealing her white teeth.
…
…
Li Yi decided that he would never play chess with the proud Lolita again. If she could not win, she would bite. If she could not afford to lose, she should not play …
"Let go, quickly let go …"
"You are a dignified princess. What a scandal!"
"Quickly let go, or else I won't play with you next time …"
Just as Princess Shouning was biting Li Yi's arm and refusing to let go, the envoy of the Qi Kingdom slowly stepped into the palace after being checked by the guards.
The blue-robed man walked in front with a calm expression. Occasionally, he would glance to his side with a hint of respect.
The few envoys of the Qi Kingdom followed closely behind him. Occasionally, they would turn back to look at him with doubtful expressions.
At the very back of the group was a pair of strangers. They were very young and looked to be in their early twenties. The young man looked around and there was a deep hatred hidden in the depths of his eyes. The woman, on the other hand, had a calm expression on her face. Her gaze was deep and unfathomable.
