Resisting the Wind and Splendor

The entire room fell silent.

Tuoba Liuli's Fiery Whip fell to the ground and broke in two.

It's just one move!

She lost! And lost so badly!

Tuoba Liuli stared blankly at the whip on the ground.

One move! How could she possibly lose to her opponent in just one move?

Back in the palace, she was invincible, except for a few of her imperial brothers who dared not challenge her.

Even Wudan was no match for her!

How could she lose to this man in one move?

"Go and call the princess back." Tuoba Yi glanced at Hongcui.

Hongcui, Tuoba Liuli's maid, nodded and immediately went up to the stage to help Tuoba Liuli: "Princess, the Third Prince orders you to go down and rest."

"I do not……"

"The Third Prince is unhappy," Hongcui whispered.

Although Tuoba Liuli was willful, she was especially afraid of Tuoba Yi, so she could only bite her lip and glare fiercely at Chu Xiaohe.

Chu Xiaohe hadn't expected his opponent to be so weak, unable to withstand even a single move. Had he known, he would have held back and prevented the situation from becoming so embarrassing.

Seeing the faint glimmer of tears in Tuoba Liuli's eyes, he was filled with remorse. He quickly picked up the Fiery Whip that he had pierced in two and, after going down, personally returned it to Tuoba Liuli.

At this moment, Tuoba Liuli had already taken her seat. Seeing him approach, she was so angry that she picked up a cup and threw it at him: "This princess doesn't want to see you, get out!"

Chu Xiaohe had never coaxed a girl before, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, Chu Yueli came over and pulled him, saying, "Brother, everyone's watching, let's go back first."

Afterwards, he smiled at Tuoba Yi and Tuoba Liuli to express his apology, and then pulled Chu Xiaohe back to their seats in the Duke's mansion.

Chu Xiaohe still regretted it: "Ali, I didn't know her... martial arts were so shallow..."

He glanced down at the Fiery Whip in his hand, feeling utterly frustrated.

Even their weapons were damaged; it was an incredibly humiliating act.

"Ignorance is no excuse. It was the Seventh Princess who provoked us first, so there's no need for you to take it to heart, brother."

Chu Yueli took the broken Fiery Whip from his hand and said with a smile, "After today's competition, I will accompany you to apologize another day."

Tuoba Liuli's martial arts skills were not weak, and she had even mastered internal martial arts techniques, but compared to masters like her elder brother and Wudan, they were truly insignificant.

Perhaps because she was favored in the palace, everyone gave way to her, and no one dared to really lay a hand on her, so she lost sight of herself.

"Okay." The image of Tuoba Liuli with tears in her eyes, yet stubbornly refusing to let them fall, was etched into Chu Xiaohe's mind.

I'm really sorry.

But today is not a good time to apologize, so we have to leave this matter at that for now.

The final match, and the most anticipated battle, is about to begin.

As if they had known each other all along, Lu Fengjin and Tuoba Yi landed on the martial arts stage at the same time.

"Prince Suwen Jin is highly skilled in martial arts and is the God of War of Dongling. I have long admired him, and it is my honor to have the opportunity to exchange blows with him today."

Tuoba Yi smiled, his phoenix eyes seeming to glow, making the girls in the audience swoon.

Lu Fengjin was dressed in a dark gray, tight-fitting outfit today. His legs were long and straight, and he was exceptionally handsome, which drove the girls crazy.

Today's duel between two stunningly handsome men is not just a martial arts contest for the girls, but also a visual feast.

The decisive battle is about to begin.

Everyone is eagerly awaiting the arrival of this grand event.

Unexpectedly, before An Delu could even announce the start of the competition as he stepped onto the stage, Consort Rui, seated to the lower right of the Emperor, suddenly stood up and said with a smile:

"Your Majesty, this competition is attracting worldwide attention, and I am honored to be a part of it. However, I have a request to make."

The emperor looked at him and waved his hand.

Consort Rui smiled and said, "Jin'er is already twenty-two this year, long past the age of marriage. It's just that she has always had someone she loves, but she doesn't dare to express it formally, which is why she has delayed her marriage until now."
