Divine Seal: The little princess is vying and fighting to become the Demon Emperor.

Chapter 63: Number 1 and Number 3 won't lose, so let him lose, okay?
On stage, Bai Haochen and Han Yu have already started their match, and everyone watching is on tenterhooks.

"Damn it, is there really no problem with this draw?"

"Why is this kid so unlucky!"

Han Qian, sitting on the platform, was so anxious he was practically standing up and pacing back and forth. The chair beneath him felt like it was weighed down by something, making him extremely uncomfortable.

"Don't be anxious, maybe your grandson Han Yu will win."

The person sitting next to him was about to comfort him, but before he could finish speaking, Han Qian scolded him.

"Don't talk nonsense, number 1 can't possibly lose!"

The paladin who was being scolded nearby: ...

If he remembered correctly, number 3 was Han Qian's grandson.

"No matter who loses, number 1 will never lose!"

"Then number 3 will lose."

The paladin cautiously probed with a question, and was then scolded again.

"Number 3 can't possibly lose!"

The paladin, who was scolded again: ...Wait, is it really that hard to flatter a leader?
What on earth is going on here?

Number 1 and number 3 won't lose, so let him lose, okay?
Little did the paladin know the dilemma and predicament Han Qian was facing.

Personally speaking, Han Yu is his grandson, so he naturally hopes that Han Yu will win.

However, from a public perspective, he is one of the few people who know Bai Haochen's identity as the Holy Son of Light, so Bai Haochen cannot afford to lose.

That's why Han Qian was so conflicted.

As he struggled with his decision, the match between Bai Haochen and Han Yu on the battle stage had already reached a fever pitch, with Han Yu even beginning to summon his magical beast mount.

But after a while, Bai Haochen did not summon his mount, yet he was still able to manage to deal with the man and the beast.

"Oh no, my team is going to lose."

Han Qian only noticed that Bai Haochen did not immediately summon his magical beast mount, but she did not know that Bai Haochen could not summon a magical beast mount. She thought that Bai Haochen was destined to win.

On the stage, Han Yu had already summoned his mount, Evil Eye, for a while, but Bai Haochen still hadn't made any move.

Han Yu asked, "Wait, where's Haoyue? Why aren't you summoning Haoyue?"

Still asked this question, Bai Haochen gripped his sword and shield tightly, revealing a somewhat arrogant smile.

"I can beat you even without the bright moon."

These words enraged the hot-blooded young Han Yu.

"You will pay the price for your arrogance."

After saying this, the man and the beast no longer held back.

Han Yu's strength was already similar to his, and now there was another equally powerful Evil Eye, making it extremely difficult for Bai Haochen to deal with.

Later on, it was entirely his indomitable will that sustained him.

"This match has been going on for a while now; there's still no winner!"

"If they remain evenly matched, will we have to wait forever? Maybe it will be the next day by then."

On the platform, those who were getting impatient even started joking.

As the joke went on, they actually discovered a loophole.

What if it's just a coincidence that the two sides are evenly matched and neither can gain the upper hand, resulting in a draw?
However, before they could fully consider the possibility of this situation and how to deal with it, Han Yu on the competition stage suddenly announced that he was conceding defeat.

"I surrender!"

These three words came too suddenly; Bai Haochen, who was on the verge of exhaustion, didn't even have time to react.

After realizing what had happened, I was both shocked and anxious.

"Han Yu, you're insane!"

"This is the Demon Hunter Team selection competition! How can you admit defeat!"

"The referee's decision doesn't count! I concede!"

Bai Haochen never expected that Han Yu would admit defeat without any warning during the match.

Little did he know, none of those present anticipated this. "According to the competition rules, number 3 conceded first, therefore number 1 won."

The referee ignored Bai Haochen and announced the result of the match as usual.

After making the announcement, he asked Han Yu with some confusion.

"You had the advantage just now, why did you admit defeat?"

The referee didn't understand. If it were just a regular competition, that would be fine, but this was a Demon Hunter selection competition!

Han Yu's automatic surrender also means that he has lost his qualification to form a group.

"I must admit defeat, otherwise, even if I win, I will feel guilty."

Suppressing the pain in his heart, Han Yu pretended to answer with a normal expression.

He looked at Bai Haochen, who had just chased him off the competition stage, and asked him a question.

Where is your mount?

He suddenly realized that Bai Haochen's failure to summon Haoyue was not out of arrogance or contempt for him.

Instead, Haoyue encountered a problem, and Bai Haochen was unable to summon her for the time being.

After all, Haoyue would usually be perched on Bai Haochen's shoulder. But this time when they met again in the Holy City, he didn't see Haoyue.

"Haoyue is sleeping soundly in the hotel!"

Bai Haochen, realizing why Han Yu had conceded defeat, had lied.

But it was obvious that Han Yu couldn't be fooled, and Han Yu wouldn't accept it either.

"You have no mount, but I have summoned one. If I win, it will be an unfair victory."

“If we both don’t have a mount, I’m not as good as you, so I concede defeat.”

What Han Yu didn't say was that he was worried he still wouldn't be able to defeat Bai Haochen even with his mount. If that happened, it would be incredibly embarrassing, so it was better to stay as it was.

"But……"

"No buts."

Han Yu interrupted Bai Haochen and left the Great Trial Ground first.

Bai Haochen wanted to chase after him, but stopped after only a couple of steps.

Han Yu must be in a bad mood right now, and for him to follow would be like rubbing salt into Han Yu's wounds.

That very evening, Feng Jing learned what had happened during the day. He immediately realized that among all the people they knew, the unluckiest person wasn't Chen Ying'er, but Han Yu.

"What should we do? Han Yu has been eliminated now. He must be feeling terrible."

"He so desperately wants to become stronger and join the Demon Hunters..."

Although he won the game, Bai Haochen was still very uncomfortable.

"You should focus on the competition first. As for Han Yu, he may not be entirely without hope of joining the Demon Hunter Team."

Now that things have come to this, Feng Jing felt that the most urgent thing was to stabilize the mindset of the two of them.

Bai Haochen was practically raised by her, and he was very easy to coax; Feng Jing was quickly appeased.

After appeasing Bai Haochen and sending him back to his hotel, Feng Jing went to Han Qian's residence that very night.

At Han Qian's residence, Feng Jing saw Han Yu looking heartbroken, but was also forced to witness their public display of affection.

Because Han Yu was leaning on the shoulder of a beautiful woman in red, who was gently comforting him.

"Xiaoyu, you've done a great job."

Ye Weiyang comforted Han Yu, and knowing what Han Yu had gone through, he felt both heartache and admiration.

A pink bubble was practically floating between them under the moonlight.

Han Qian and Feng Jing arrived at this moment, and immediately felt that they had come at the wrong time.

"Grandpa Han... Grandpa Han..."

Ye Weiyang was the first to spot the two of them, and feeling caught red-handed, she immediately became shy.
