Chapter 325: Winning Over
Bai Feier's opponent in the finals is the youngest Ninth Prince of the Sun Flame Royal Family.
The Ninth Prince stepped onto the stage, dressed in a golden and red python robe, displaying his extraordinary nobility and temperament. However, Gu Heng was also good at comparison. Although the Ninth Prince was dressed with great style, his "nobility" paled in comparison to Qin Yiyao beside him!
Gu Heng silently glanced at Qin Yiyao, who was staring at the snack in her hand, seemingly troubled because she was about to finish it.
Could this little girl really be some wealthy royal relative who has fallen on hard times?
"Master, is there any oil on my face?"
Qin Yiyao silently glanced over again.
"No, I just think your skin is nice." Gu Heng's expression remained unchanged.
Why did she feel like she'd heard those words before?
"...Bai Feier, right?"
On the field, the Ninth Prince unfolded his folding fan and looked at Bai Feier, who was posing for a fight.
"Your Majesty Ninth Prince."
Bai Feier nodded slightly, which could be considered a response.
"I don't know if I've received some wrong information, but I heard that you've fallen out with your family, run away from home, and gone off to make your own way in the world."
The Ninth Prince laughed.
"Pretty much. So Your Highness is even concerned about the affairs of my Bai family now," Bai Feier replied casually.
"Hahaha..." The Ninth Prince laughed. "How about we discuss some things?" He used telepathy to say the last sentence, which surprised Bai Feier. The entire martial arts arena was waiting for the final showdown, and even the special envoy of Emperor Yan had rushed here from the palace.
Now, this Ninth Prince actually wants to discuss things first?
Well, Bai Feier figured she might as well listen, so she nodded.
"I can give you the prize for winning this Imperial Grand Competition. You can also have a spot to enter the Imperial Grand Secret Realm. However, you will serve my royal family from now on. How about that?"
When the Ninth Prince said this, his gaze was fixed on Bai Feier across from him.
He wanted to discern Bai Feier's attitude and reaction through this statement.
But he was disappointed.
"Heh~" Bai Feier chuckled coldly and said, "Your Highness's scheme is a bit too ambitious, isn't it?"
"..." The Ninth Prince did not answer, but slowly waved his folding fan.
"Your King Yanxuan is dead, and now you see the Liu family and the Bai family as threats that will be difficult to suppress in the future. So you want to win me over, the young lady who doesn't have a good relationship with the Bai family, so that you'll have more protection in the future, right?"
Although Bai Feier practiced swordsmanship extensively, she was by no means slow-witted.
The Ninth Prince was actually there as a lobbyist.
The Sunflame Royal Family originally had two members at the Tribulation Transcending stage, but now only one remains. If the Liu and Bai families join forces, they will be able to challenge the Sunflame Royal Family's position.
They can't touch Liu Yu, nor can they win her over; she's now the successor to the Valley Master of Thousand Sound Valley.
Therefore, change your goal.
They came toward Bai Feier.
After all, Bai Feier has now fallen out with the Bai family and seems to have lost her backing. Of course, killing her is out of the question, otherwise Liu Yu will definitely go berserk, but winning her over... might still be possible.
They probably felt they needed cultivation resources.
If we can win Bai Feier over to the royal family, it will not only annoy the Bai family, but also leave a thorn in their side—killing two birds with one stone.
But the Ninth Prince and the Sun Flame Emperor behind him were actually mistaken.
Bai Feier now looks down on the poor, remote place like the Sun Flame Dynasty!
Ever since witnessing Yu Quzi arrive with the might of a supreme saint, and how the mere aftershocks of that power could crush the entire capital, Bai Feier made up her mind to broaden her horizons, leave this place, and see a wider world!
Continuing to stay by Young Master Gu's side is also an option.
But that's not enough.
Young Master Gu is a recluse. After finding his "peaceful abode," he may stay here forever. But Bai Feier is currently in a period of growth. If she doesn't see and experience things for herself and just hides under Young Master Gu's protection, she won't be able to grow.
Therefore, Bai Feier didn't even plan to go to the Imperial Dynasty's Great Secret Realm.
After the Imperial Competition ended, she packed her belongings and left the Sunflame Dynasty for the wider outside world!
As for why she came to the Imperial Grand Competition, it was simply because Bai Feier planned to show off her muscles one last time.
"I'm sorry, but I cannot."
Bai Feier shook her head.
"Not to mention that serving others and being subservient to them is not what I like, I would look down on you all."
She sneered, "When Yu Yinzi and the Valley Master of Qianyin Valley arrived before, your father was a coward. Is that all you are, worthy of my service?"
Bai Feier spoke loudly, showing no intention of giving the Ninth Prince any face. Everyone around heard her.
Soon, a lot of whispers arose in the martial arts arena. They were discussing how the Emperor Bai Feier had the audacity to speak out, something they dared not do.
The Ninth Prince's face immediately darkened, turning as black as charcoal!
"Okay, if you don't accept my toast, I'll drink the penalty!"
"My father considers you a talented woman, but he never thought he would give you the opportunity to serve my royal family, yet you are so arrogant!"
"Then I'll show you what a true prodigy is!"
The Ninth Prince abruptly closed his folding fan and then unleashed the power of a fifth-level Nascent Soul cultivator!
