Chapter 301 - The Sinister and Malicious First Prince

With Baili Han and Lan Xinyu’s cultivation, they naturally would have clearly heard the words the bald dean had said. Baili Han smiled awkwardly. Having such an unreliable old man was really a headache. Lan Xinyu’s face also flushed red and was a little at a loss.

“I-I have a little headache. You… can you… s-s-support me to go in?” Baili Han stuttered for half day and finally managed to squeeze out those words. Then a tint of red appeared on his pale face.

Lan Xinyu’s face turned even redder as she nodded and supported Baili Han toward the back. The bald dean rubbed his chin in comfort, exclaiming that his son was teachable.

The following matches were without any suspense whatsoever. Ling Chuxi got first place and even though Baili Han was injured, his cultivation was indeed there and he had obtained the second place.

The emperor was extremely happy and wanted to host a banquet in the palace to celebrate Ling Chuxi and the rest. The third place went to a person called Ma Chengping. His cultivation had also reached Battle Qi Level-9. The Lord Divine Messenger from the Deity Temple was to attend this banquet as well. Being able to interact with the Lord Divine Messenger from the Deity Temple at such a close distance made many people admire Ling Chuxi and the rest. Of course, in reality, besides Ma Chengping being a little overexcited, Ling Chuxi and Baili Han did not take this matter to heart. Especially since this Lord Divine Messenger was very familiar to Ling Chuxi.

The banquet was held in the palace. Huangfu Qingjue’s attendance had truly shocked the entire place. This was the first time many people had seen the true countenance of the Divine Messenger and none of them had thought that the Lord Divine Messenger was actually such a handsome, one-of-a-kind man. E Shulan also attended this banquet and she stood by the corner in a low profile. In this time’s competition, she had not just lost her own reputation, but also made Deity Temple lose their flare. Rumors have it that the Deity Temple was even considering to remove her status as the Deity’s Servant Girl.

The fifth princess was especially happy as she chattered by Ling Chuxi’s side non-stop. “Master, I knew that you would win. Haha, Master, this is really great.” Consort Li who was standing nearby, looked at the fifth princess happily. The way she looked at Ling Chuxi was different. In the past, she knew that Ling Chuxi was extraordinary, but she had never thought that Ling Chuxi was already so strong. Good thing that Ling Chuxi had previously expressed her attitude clearly.

“Miss Ling Chuxi, truly, congratulations.” Suddenly, a man’s voice rang in Ling Chuxi’s ears.

Ling Chuxi was stunned. The moment she turned her head, she saw a man smiling gently. The fifth princess called out softly at this moment. “Eldest Imperial Brother.”

‘Eldest Imperial Brother?’ Ling Chuxi finally understood the identity of the person before her. It turned out to be the first prince! The first prince who was before her looked about twenty-six seven years old. His five features were well defined and his expression was calm, but he gave off a vague noble and majestic bearing. The modest smile on his face made people feel comfortable, but with Ling Chuxi’s discernment, it was not difficult to see that there was no smile in his eyes. There was a coldness that was difficult to detect in the depth of his eyes, which would never allow people to see what he was thinking of.

Amongst the many princes in Nan Xia Country, the first prince had wild ambitions and his intentions and schemes being sinister were not a secret since long ago. However, personally seeing him made Ling Chuxi understand how deep his intentions ran. If one had not heard of those rumors beforehand, who would have connected this humble, gently looking young man to the words ‘sinister’ and ‘malicious’?

“Greetings, First Prince.” Ling Chuxi smiled gently as she gave a bow without being overbearing nor servile.

“Miss Ling Chuxi, you have really caused me terrible harm.” The first prince was smiling despite saying such words.
