Chapter 273 The Conspiracy of the Empire
"Follow me, I'll take you somewhere." Lin Fan smiled mysteriously, took Suzaku's hand, and led her towards the sunset.
The two of them drifted away, their figures gradually blending into the sky dyed red by the setting sun. And the rising dust seemed to be dancing for their happiness and never dissipated for a long time.
They walked through a forest illuminated by the setting sun and came to an open grassland. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, it was just the two of them, as if the whole world had become quiet.
Lin Fan pointed to a hill in front of him, "Let's go there to watch the sunset. The scenery there must be beautiful."
Suzaku nodded, his eyes full of expectation. The two climbed hand in hand and soon reached the top of the mountain. Standing here, you have a panoramic view of the entire world.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, stretching their silhouettes. The sky in the distance was dyed golden red, breathtakingly beautiful. Against the backdrop of this sky, their figures seemed to become extremely small, but also extremely determined.
"It's so beautiful..." Suzaku couldn't help but sigh, with tears shining in his eyes, "I'm so happy to be able to watch such a beautiful sunset with you."
Lin Fan gently hugged Suzaku and rested his chin on the top of her head, "As long as you want, I can watch every sunset with you." His voice was low and gentle, as if it had some kind of magic power that made Suzaku's heart Deeply immersed in it.
The petals of the Suzaku flower swayed gently in the breeze, like a brilliant sunset glow, dyeing the surrounding air with a faint red. In her beautiful face, her eyes were flowing, revealing an indescribable passion. She lightly opened her red lips and said in a gentle but firm voice: "Don't be afraid, because Monroe has already identified with him. In this life, she will only marry him as her wife..."
This sentence is like a pebble falling into the calm lake of the heart, causing ripples. The sun sets over the west mountain, and the afterglow fills the sky. The two figures lean closely together, as if they want to blend into this gorgeous glow. They didn't separate for a long time, just quietly enjoying this rare tranquility and warmth.
Time passed like water, and in the blink of an eye it was three days later. In the past three days, the knockout rounds of the Shenwu Tournament were in full swing, with countless talents fighting hard in the arena to compete for the precious spots in the top ten. Now, this fierce competition has finally come to an end, and the top ten players have been decided. They will start a more exciting competition under the spotlight. According to the convention of the Shenwu Conference, the top ten competitions will be moved to another more magnificent competition venue. This site is also a domed building, covering an extremely large area, and at a glance, you can barely see the edge. However, unlike the previous venue, seating here is set into extremely strict tiers. From front to back, there are seats for the royal family, state guests, big nobles, small nobles and ordinary citizens. Nearly 10,000 seats fill the entire building.
In order to ensure the fairness of the competition, the conference also specially invited several authorities from all over the country to serve as referees for the top ten competitions. These referees are all highly respected people, and their presence makes this game more important.
At this moment, the huge building was already full of seats. Everywhere you looked, you could see a dark sea of people. From the front to the back, the number of people increased gradually. Those city residents who could barely afford the tickets were shouting and roaring crazily from behind, as if they wanted to release all their inner enthusiasm and expectations. The VIPs in the front row seemed relatively quiet. They sat in their seats and waited for the start of the game with smiles on their faces.
Amid the din of the audience, two arenas stood out. They each cover hundreds of square meters. One is the main arena and the other is a backup arena to prevent unexpected accidents. Both arenas have been carefully arranged and are not only spacious and bright, but also equipped with various advanced facilities to ensure the smooth progress of the competition.
Not far from the main selection arena, there is a place reserved for members of the Golden Wind Empire’s royal family. At this moment, several elegantly dressed men and women were sitting on it, their faces filled with pride and majesty. The most eye-catching among them is His Majesty Jin Chengxuan of the Golden Wind Empire and his several beautiful concubines. They were dressed in gorgeous dragon robes and phoenix skirts, with noble and elegant temperaments, as if they were born kings and queens.
Princess Jinfei beside them looked a little different. She sat alone, lowered her head and said nothing, her breath heavy, as if she was troubled by something on her mind. Her appearance naturally attracted the attention of others, especially Nalan Yan who was sitting next to her.
Nalan Yan is Jin Fei’s close friend and one of the famous beauties in the empire. She is as beautiful as a fairy, gentle and pleasant. When she saw Jin Fei looking like this, she couldn't help asking softly: "Princess, why do you look so depressed? Is there something on your mind?" Her voice was as warm as the spring breeze. And delicacy seems to be able to soothe the waves in people's hearts.
Jin Fei raised her head, glanced at Nalan Yan, then quickly lowered her head. She was silent for a while before slowly speaking: "Yan'er, tell me...did I really do something wrong?" Her voice was trembling. It seemed that he was trying his best to suppress his inner emotions, "I gave up too much for that person, and I even went to the extent of contradicting my father... But now, I am beginning to doubt my choice."
Nalanyan gently held Jin Fei's hand and comforted her softly: "Princess, there is no right or wrong in emotional matters. Since you have chosen that path, you must go on bravely. No matter what the result is, at least You have worked hard and sincerely. As for the future...who can tell? Maybe time will give us the answer."
