Chapter 82

Provocation from the Strong [6]

Letting her pretend that Xi Tian was able to do it was within her means. However, if she had to actually handle this, it would be impossible.

At this time, most of the discussions turned into encouragement towards Xi Tian to accept the challenge. The major families that were present, including the royal family, wanted to see the Xi Tian’s ability with their own eyes.

Even Xiao Yao Wang shook his fan. To Feng Lian Yi, he said, “Yi, who do you think is more powerful?”

Feng Lian Yi drank the wine in the cup. After hearing what was said, he faintly smiled, “That is hard to say.”

“When did you become so hesitant? How about we make a bet. If I win, then you will have to play twenty rounds of chess with me. How’s that?”

There was a smile on Feng Lian Yi’s face as he said, “What if I win?”

“If you win, I will help you do one thing, anything. What do you think?”

“Okay.” Feng Lian Yi paused and said, “I bet on Xi Tian.”

“Hahaha!” Xiao Yao Wang laughed heartily. Folding his fan, “Okay, then I will bet on our Nan Yi Country’s ‘Undefeated General’, Sima Gui Yan!”

After they had set their bet, everyone else followed suit.

Princess Ying Ye clapped her hands excitedly, “Royal brother, who do you think will win?”

Crown Prince Zhan Ye looked towards Xi Tian and said, “Sir Xi Tian hasn’t accepted the challenge yet.”

With her cold and clear temperament, would she accept the challenge?

Sima Gui Yan’s strength was quite strong, even his teacher had said that Sima Gui Yan wasn’t someone to be trifled with. Even within the entire Karte Continent, he was considered strong.

He was somewhat worried for Xi Tian since Sima Gui Yan’s Raging Seven Tail Dragon was very violent. Its combat style was ruthless and fierce. If she wasn’t careful, the spirit beast might hurt her immensely.

“Xi Tian, you don’t have to accept this challenge,” Zhan Ye quietly said.

“Royal brother, if she doesn’t accept, then she’ll lose all her face. You also don’t want Xi Tian to lose face right? Everyone wants to see their combat*.”

Ying Ye hurriedly said that because she really wanted to see Xi Tian’s true abilities.

In order to raise her eager mood, Princess Ying Ye unexpectedly pulled Huang Bei Yue’s hand and asked, “Bei Yue, do you want to watch?”

Huang Bei Yue glanced at Dong Ling, the corner of her mouth quirked up, “Of course I want to watch. I am very happy to see the combat between Sir Xi Tian and Sir Gui Yan. I believe it will be wonderful!”

Dong Ling’s body was faintly shocked, what does young miss meant by saying this? Is it to tell her to accept the challenge?

But how could she have the ability to battle with Sima Gui Yan ah?

“Even though Sir Gui Yan’s dragon is very strong, Sir Xi Tian’s Ice Luan Spirit Bird is one of the ‘Five Spirit Beasts’ ah!” Huang Bei Yue said, tilting her head.

Don’t be afraid, Dong Ling. Just go, I will take care of everything.

Since she had dared to make Dong Ling pretend to be Xi Tian, she had already thought about the various circumstances that might arise, including countermeasures.

She wasn’t the type that was bold but not very astute, making decisions randomly.

Hearing what she had just said, Dong Ling’s heart calmed. She knew that young miss said that because she had a plan. She no longer hesitated and stood up. The long black cloak covered her whole body, grim and austere.

Seeing her stand up, Sima Gui Yan’s eyes lit up, laughing, “Sir Xi Tian is a really straightforward person!”

The Emperor smiled with satisfaction, “Today’s combat, good luck to you both.”

Since Xi Tian dared to accept the challenge, then it meant that she was living up to her reputation.

These two people were both indispensable talents in Nan Yi Country. The Emperor didn’t want to see either side getting injured.

Servants quickly came out to clean the open area, which was used for performances.
