Chapter 791
Listening to Cui Haoyan's words, everyone was somewhat stunned.
"It seems that Lingyin College is certain of success and wants more people to see their victory."
Baili Hongzhuang's eyebrow raised slightly, a college tournament was usually only for the students of the college, outsiders should not be allowed inside to watch.
Lingyin College's move was a bit unexpected.
"Not only this," Liu Qinyue said slowly, "it is said that tomorrow, at the final, the Qing dynasty's emperor will also come and watch, they are very sure of themselves."
Together with the end of Liu Qinyue's sentence, the expression on the other's faces changed again. It seemed that the Lingyin College wanted to make this into a big matter.
"Nangong Aochen is the Crown Prince of the Qing Dynasty. He will be extraordinarily strong in battle, we have to be very careful." Gong Shaoqing said slowly.
After Baili Hongzhuang and her friends walked into the dense crowd of people, they saw that the cultivators from Lingyin and Beihai College had already arrived.
The faces of these people held a deep smile. After seeing Baili Hongzhuang and the others, their smiles even showed a dense sarcasm.
"The students of Canglan College are really important, they showed up last." Lu Jingqi said coldly.
A woman from Lingyin College listened to her words, after which she said, "They know that they will be shamed by coming here today. Naturally, they won't come early."
The woman was wearing a pink and purple dress. Her skin was fair and white, and her appearance was outstanding. A strong pride and elegance could be seen in her aura, this was the royal princess – Nangong Yue'er.
"They are too much!"
How bad was Xia Zhiqing's temper?
The moment she heard the words of Nangong Yue'er and Lu Jingqi she couldn't help but want to argue.
However Baili Hongzhuang pulled her back and said, "They have a lot of people. We won't be at an advantage, so don't let them use us to start a fight. It is better to say they can see the real fight on stage!" Xia Zhiqing's face turned a myriad of colors, but she knew that Baili Hongzhuang was correct.
If they fight now, then that is not a good thing.
"I pray for me and Lu Jingqi to be in the same group; I have to tear her mouth apart!"
Xia Zhiqing's eyes flashed with anger, this annoying woman, she definitely would not allow her to be happy.
Baili Hongzhuang nodded slightly and the eyes she used to look at Lu Jinqi were cold. This woman was arguing all day long, but her actual strength was so weak
If Xia Zhiqing really had the opportunity to be in the same group as Lu Jinqi, that would be good, then she could be taught a lesson.
Gong Shaoqing and the others directly ignored the words of the people around them. In this kind of environment, only their strength would be able to show their qualities.
Like Lu Jingqi, they thought she was just a clown jumping around.
After seeing the team from Canglan College, a deep smile spread across the face of Jian Qingqiu.
The next moment, Jian Qingqiu went directly to the high platform and his handsome face was full of joy and held a smile.
"Today the college tournament begins. The college tournament is a tradition between our three colleges, which has existed since the beginning of our colleges in an attempt to promote the cultivation of our students.
"I now announce that the College Tournament officially begins!"
With the words of Jian Qingqiu falling, thunderous applause spread out around them. Everyone had waited for this moment for a long time.
"This college tournament uses lottery to determine your opponents. There are seven cultivators from each college who partic.i.p.ates in the contest. Because of the special status of Crown Prince Nangong Aochen, he directly advances to the final."
Hearing this, no one present thought there was anything wrong with this.
His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince Nangong Aochen, was the pride of everyone within the Qing Dynasty.
At such a young age he became the number one student in Lingyin College. His strength was extremely powerful, and his talent was outstanding, they felt he was unparalleled in this world!
"Because of this there are only twenty cultivators who will partic.i.p.ate in the battles today. In order to show fairness, five cultivators from Beihai and Canglan College are sent to do the picking for the lottery. The winners will successfully advance to the second round, the losers will be eliminated.
Jian Qingqiu's words directly introduced the rules of the tournament to everyone; his words were simple and clear.
"If there is no doubt, you can start the drawing process now."
Jian Qingqiu's face was filled with a big smile as a lottery box appeared in front of him. Inside the box were all the students names.
The students who had been picked to do the drawing were on the high platform, and when they took out a name, that name would be plotted down.
Neither Baili Hongzhuang nor Gong Shaoqing went to draw. However their opponent was, they were prepared.
Nangong Xiujie and Nangong Yujin were looking at Baili Hongzhuang with shock. They had not expected that she was a member of the Canglan College team.
So… Were the words said by Mo Yunjue that day fake?
After all the cultivators from the Canglan College had not arrived in the Qing Dynasty before two days prior. How could they possible know Mo Yunjue?
"Yujin, did they trick us?"
Nangong Xiujie's face was gloomy, he was so old, but he had never been played like this before.
Because of the actions that day being too big, even their father, the Emperor, had blamed them for what had happened.
Since this matter affected the way their father looked at them, they could definitely not let it go.
Nangong Yujin's face was also ugly. "If that is the case, then Mo Yunjue's courage is too big!"
They are imperial princes, but to treat them like this, was this no different than how monkeys were treated?
Even if he has a certain background, he cannot be so excessive!
"After asking our third sister, we will know."
Nangong Xiujie's eyes sparkled as
Nangong Yujin's eyebrows rose slightly, "I'll ask her."
Since the first time Nangong Yue'er saw Mo Yunjue she had been very concerned about him.
She did everything to see him often, but even though he avoided her, she never gave up.
For news about Mo Yunjue, they believed that Nangong Yue'er would definitely know more than them.
"Yue'er, have you seen Mo Gongzi recently?" Nangong Yujin asked.
Hearing the question, Nangong Yue'er's eyes flashed in a strange color. "Third brother, why do you ask me about Mo Gongzi?"
She knew about the character of her third brother. He would never ask without a reason.
"This third brother is just worried about your future. You are not young anymore. Father is quite upset about your marriage."
Nangong Yujin's face was full of smiles, he seemed friendly and would never let her know what he was actually thinking.
Hearing what he said, the eyes of Nangong Yue'er changed slightly. "Third brother, can you tell me what you heard Father say?"
Nangong Yujin shrugged. "I know you like Mo Yunjue, but what would you say if he had gotten married already?"
When the words came out, Nangong Yue'er immediately shook her head, "that would be impossible!"
"How can you be so sure?" Nangong Yujin raised an eyebrow.
"Of course I am sure!"
Nangong Yue'er did not hesitate to answer. She got quite suspicious after hearing the words of Nangong Yujin. Normally he did not pay any attention to these things, but why would he care today?
If there was an abnormality like this, something bad was likely to have happened. Nangong Yue'er did not believe that Nangong Yujin just asked for fun and immediately requested, "Third brother, what happened exactly? Tell me directly!"
Nangong Yujin had originally planned on testing Nangong Yue'er but now that he saw how concerned she was, he told her the truth.
"On the First Tower, I saw Mo Yunjue hold a child and look for a young and beautiful woman. He called this woman, his wife.
"Originally I believed in it, but today I saw her appear in the team of the Canglan college. I felt it a bit strange so I came to ask you. If Mo Yunjue truly has a child, you should stay away from him."
As a member of the royal family it is impossible to look at feelings, but Nangong Yue'er was quite serious about Mo Yunjue.
Also Nangong Yue'er is his third sister, he does not want to see her cheated.
As he finished speaking, the look of Nangong Yue'er instantly became ugly.
"This… How is it possible!"
She had never heard about this, in the past, Mo Yunjue was always alone.
Not to mention a wife, she had never even seen a woman around Mo Yunjue.
Nangong Yue'er's mind kept swirling around it, until she suddenly remembered that Nangong Yujin said that Mo Yunjue's wife was in the Canglan Team, she immediately asked,
"Third brother, who is the woman you said was with Mo Yunjue?" What woman in this tournament could compare to her?
As to whether or not he is already married, the fact was that he treated the woman specially.
She would like to see which woman would dare to grab her man!
Nangong Yujin lifted his head slightly and looked in the direction of Baili Hongzhuang.
"It's the woman from the Canglan team in the white dress. Baili Hongzhuang."
Hearing this Nangong Yue'er could not help but blink. She had already noticed Baili Hongzhuang.
Because it was simply impossible not to pay attention to her. Even though she was unwilling, she had to admit that Baili Hongzhuang was amongst the most beautiful women in the world.
"She is from Canglan College, how can she know Mo Gongzi?"
Nangong Yue'er looked suspicious, there was simply no way they could have interacted.
"Third brother, are you perhaps mistaken?"
Nangong Yujin shrugged, "If your third brother can make a mistake with such a thing, then I am definitely not your third brother
"This is not something only I saw, even second brother was seeing it with his own two eyes."
Nangong Yujin did not say much after having said this and went straight back to where he was before.
Seeing that Nangong Yujin was so serious about it, Nangong Yue'er was no longer doubtful.
Next, her eyes fell onto Baili Hongzhuang again. This d.a.m.n woman dared to grab her man?
With her ident.i.ty as a princess, how could Baili Hongzhuang as a civilian ever compare?
Anyway, she had decided on Mo Yunjue, so Mo Yunjue could only become her man.
As for any obstacles she encountered, she would eradicate them completely.
Baili Hongzhuang was waiting for the result of the lottery when she suddenly felt a gaze filled with hostility focused on her.
She could not help but look towards the source of the gaze, where she saw Nangong Yue'er stare at her with a malicious expression.
It was as if they were enemies unable to live under the same sky.
In Baili Hongzhuang's eyes was a bit of doubt. Although she and Nangong Yue'er is in different camps and were unlikely to like each other, it is strange to suddenly have such hatred for one another.
Even if she offended Nangong Xiujie and Nangong Yujin these two people had yet to act, what was the deal with this girl?
After thinking about it for a bit, Baili Hongzhuang decided to directly ignore it.
Since Nangong Yue'er hates her so much, naturally she will understand it at some point.
Soon the results of the draw were out. Lin Yinghao slowly read what people had drawn.
"Xiao Lanmei fights against Nangong Yujin."
"Baili Hongzhuang is against Lu Jinglin."
"Xia Zhiqing agaisnt Lu Jingqi."
….
Soon everyone knew their opponents. The people from Canglan College were fortunate to have not drawn anyone from their own college.
However two cultivators from Beihai College drew each other. However, whether or not Canglan College was lucky was yet to be determined.
Because, when you draw your own students, at least one from your college will advance.
If they win their battles it is naturally the best, and if they advance, then Beihai College will be worse than them.
When Xia Zhiqing saw that she had drawn Lu Jingqi she was excited. This d.a.m.n woman, today she could teach her how to behave!
Lu Jingqi was also happy when she heard that her opponent was Xia Zhiqing.
If someone asked her who she hated the most within the Canglan Team, she would not say Baili Hongzhuang but Xia Zhiqing.
Today is a chance to give Xia Zhiqing a lesson.
"Jingqi, you have an opportunity to solve your hatred, perform well." Lu Jinglin gently placed a hand on Lu Jingqi's shoulder. Every tournament is a good chance to show off.
"If you have good achievements at this tournament, it will be a great help for your future!"
"Sister, rest a.s.sured, I will definitely get her to bed for forgiveness!"
Just, Lu Jingqi's mood is bad when she thought about her sister. From the mentors they understood that Baili Hongzhuang was very strong. She was afraid that her sister was not her opponent.
Lu Jingqi and Lu Jinglin were thinking the same at this moment in time, and both felt very helpless about Lu Jinglin's luck.
It was said that Baili Hongzhuang and Gong Shaqoing are the strongest in the Canglan College. Although her sister is not weak, the last time they fought, Baili Hongzhuang had already shown the difference between their strengths.
This time, she was afraid that Lu Jinglin would lose.
"Sister, you…"
Lu Jingqi worried about her sister, she was clear about her sister's personality and was afraid that she was extremely depressed.
Lu Jinglin waved her hand, "I am afraid I will lose this game. As long as you do well, it will be enough."
Hearing this, Lu Jingqi also nodded her head, "Sister, don't worry. I will help you let go of your bad breath!"
Nangong Yue'er was unhappy that her opponent was not Baili Hongzhuang. If it was Baili Hongzhuang she would kill her directly!
This way, Mo Yunjue would still be hers!
"I hope that you can survive this round," Nangong Yue'er's eyes were filled with malice, there was a ray of poison deep within.
Amongst all the pract.i.tioners, the fight between Xiao Lanmei and Nangong Yujin was the one that they were most unhappy about at the two colleges.
The strengths of both Xiao Lanmei and Nangong Yujan were good. But now one of them had to be removed right away, this made the two colleges unhappy.
It was a shame that only one of them would remain.
When the result was over, Baili Hongzhuang went to the arena, not hesitating at all.
Right now there were ten arenas sat up on the tournament field, they had been prepared for the first ten matches.
If they had to wait for the people to fight one after another they would waste too much time on the first round.
Therefore Lingyin College had arranged ten arenas to shorten the time.
Also the first round was the last interesting. The further into the tournament they got the more exciting the fights would become.
Baili Hongzhuang directly jumped onto the arena that was marked for her.
Her dress was fluttering in the wind, her ink-black hair was also gently flying, and in her hand was a transparent gla.s.s sword that shone with a colorful light.
It's just that although it was immensely beautiful, a cold chill made the crowd understand that they should not enjoy the scenery now.
Lu Jinglin appeared on the other side of the arena. Her face was pale and obviously she was in a bad mood.
"We meet again," Baili Hongzhuang said slowly.
She had never thought of this result in the lottery. Lu Jinglin was only at the Mysterious Heaven Stage, she couldn't pose a threat to her.
"Baili Hongzhuang, don't think that just because you are a little stronger. This time at the college tournament you are bound to lose!"
Lu Jinglin taunted Baili Hongzhuang, she would not let her be proud.
Baili Hongzhuang's lips curled up into a sneer as she answered, "The results of the College Tournament is still unknown. I only know for sure that you will be defeated by me."
When the words came out Lu Jingqi's face suddenly became gloomy. The words of Baili Hongzhuang were impossible to refute.
The referee also felt the spark of dislike between the two of them, and immediately said, "Let the fight begin!"
