Chapter 565: Life Is Unpredictable
The second round of the competition also took place in the imperial city. The Three Directors and Nine Ministers would personally preside over this event.
The spectators were limited too; only those at a certain level of cultivation or enough status would be able to enter.
It was also divided into ten stages, a one-on-one elimination style - winner moves on.
The emperor and four consorts would be present. Princess Luofu herself would watch the fights in order to pick her groom.
After all, the one selected by her would have special treatment, an unfair advantage during the competition.
“You think the emperor will actually be there?” Ningshuai asked.
Both Feiyun and Ningshuai have made it to this round. They were resting at a palace with maids waiting on them.
The other prodigies waited at the other palaces. The majority was still cultivating with spirit stones while maintaining the top condition.
Only Ningshuai and Feiyun were this comfortable, being served fine wine by the maids and watching the stages being prepared.
“The emperor might not, but Princess Luofu and Consort Hua will definitely be there.” Feiyun sent a telepathic message.
“Haha! True, she’ll be crying so fast if the princess has to marry Prince Hongye. Oh, right, who do you think she will pick?” Ningshuai wasn’t aware of the fling between Feiyun and Luofu so he nonchalantly asked.
In fact, the one chosen by Luofu wouldn’t need to fight until the very end. The others would continue on until one was left, then this person would fight with the chosen candidate.
