Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Is that all?

The audience was also deeply shocked.

Isn't this too casual?

Tuoba Yi looked down at the stack of thin gauze in his hand, and suddenly his heart tightened.

Several layers were pierced, but it was clear that some parts were still intact.

Andelu immediately came over and counted them himself. Finally, his eyes widened in disbelief: "Eight...eight floors, it really is...eight floors..."

Finally, looking at the emperor below the stage, he was so excited that his hands trembled: "Your Majesty, Miss Li... Miss Li pierced through eight layers! Two more layers are intact! Miss Li... Miss Li has won!"

The audience remained silent.

Dead silence.

Chu Yueli of the Duke's Mansion has won! She has won against the Third Prince of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty!

No one knew what to say.

This result was completely unexpected.

In the midst of the silence, a burst of applause suddenly broke the stillness.

"Heh, interesting! Very interesting! Miss Li is indeed very learned, far superior to those muscle-bound simpletons, hahaha..."

King Mo!

King Mo laughed heartily and domineeringly, even a little arrogantly.

Tuoba Yi's face turned green, and he glared at him fiercely.

That bastard! I really want to beat him to death!

But no one else dared to laugh.

The emperor dared not laugh, even though he was in a bad mood at the moment.

But he is, after all, a prince from another country. If he were to mock him like a young man, and the boy were to go back and complain to his father, he would be seen as an elder bullying a junior.

That's not good!

In the time it took for Tuoba Yi to exhale and breathe, he had already composed himself.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture to Chu Yueli and said, "Miss Li is not only meticulous in her thinking, but also in her martial arts. I admire her greatly."

It's impossible to tell whether this martial art is good or bad, but its precision is truly terrifying.

I don't know if it's really that amazing, or just good luck.

The audience below simply assumed that Chu Yueli was just lucky.

After all, that casual shot didn't look like someone who knew martial arts at all.

It doesn't even contain a trace of internal energy.

Chu Yueli smiled back, maintaining impeccable manners: "Thank you for your concession, Third Prince."

Tuoba Yi snorted but didn't say anything.

The Emperor laughed heartily, "A-Li is still young and doesn't know any better. Please forgive him, Third Prince!"

You could tell from that voice that the person was in a very good mood.

Tuoba Yi was no longer angry. He clasped his hands in a fist salute and prepared to leave.

Unexpectedly, Chu Yueli walked past him, went to the side of the martial arts stage, and knelt down before the emperor.

"A-Li?" The Emperor was somewhat taken aback, but then immediately remembered something and hurriedly said with a smile, "Good! A reward, a generous reward!"

However, it's not appropriate to recount all the rewards in front of the Third Prince of Dongzhou, since he just lost and we should give him some face.

Their Duke's Mansion performed so well today that the Emperor is overjoyed and will surely reward them handsomely later.

Chu Yueli remained kneeling upright and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I have successfully completed my mission and achieved a minor victory. I am excited and would like to request that Your Majesty grant me a request."

"Oh?" The Emperor raised an eyebrow. "What is your request?"

In front of everyone, this girl wouldn't make any unreasonable demands, would she?

Chu Xiaohe was also nervous, wondering what A-Li was thinking.

Chu Yueli met the Emperor's gaze, her voice not loud, but firm: "I recently received news that the small countries on the southern border are stirring up trouble again. My maternal grandfather, uncles, and others are still holding the line in the southern border."

"My elder brother worries about my grandfather and uncles every day and cannot sleep at night. Ali begs the Emperor to allow my elder brother to lead the Chu family army to the southern border to help my grandfather and uncles, protect the southern border, and defend our country."

Consort Rui's eyes darkened.

That brat, she wants to transfer the Chu family army away!

Did she think that this would prevent the Chu family army from falling into the hands of others? What wishful thinking!
