Everyone had gathered, including the Princes and Princesses. Even Emperor An Li Huang had come with the Elders.
An Ling Yue stood among the crowd, despite only using an ordinary black robe with black hair on let it unravel, she was still the most conspicuous figure.
Almost all eyes were on him. Some people even whispered whispers about her beauty.
"The beauty of the seventh Princess is incomparable, so I want to marry her!"
"Even I'm a woman who's fascinated by her appearance."
"Hey, it's useless to have peerless beauty, she won't live much longer. After all, he was just trash. This was a world where the strong ate the weak!"
"Well, why did he come here? Is he going to go hunting for Warcraft?"
"I don't think he's hunting Warcraft, but Warcraft is hunting him!"
"Haha."
Laughter sounded among the crowd.
Murong Xue Ji who heard insults after insults was fixed on An Ling Yue, she felt pain in her heart.
'She was his benefactor's daughter, how dare they insult Princess An Ling Yue.'
An Ling Yue simply stayed still on the spot, as if not caring for the ridicule around her. Yet he was curious about one thing, his eyes fixed on Murong Xue Ji's angry face.
An Ling Yue touched her chin with a slight smile at the corner of her lips, "I think, this insult was directed at me, but why did that angry woman hear this insult?"
Murong Xue Ji felt a gaze from beside her. Not far from where he was, An Ling Yue was staring at him. Murong Xue Ji was extremely embarrassed as her attitude was seen in An Ling Yue's eyes.
An Ling Yue looked at the shame on the girl's face and stopped paying attention to her. His eyes were now fixed on his Imperial sisters.
An Li Ruyan First princess, An Ziyan Second Prince, An Ruochen Third Princess, An Zhifu Fourth Princess, An Qian Fifth Prince and An Luo Qi Sixth Princess.
As for her, as the seventh Princess would never gain her status as an Imperial Princess. However, he doesn't care. He was not part of the Imperial family. He was here only for the sake of 200-year-old Purple Ginseng.
However An Ling Yue had decided, after gaining strength, she would increase her strength and slowly the land would retaliate against every person who had oppressed her.
An Ling Yue's eyes were fixed on the dragon-robed man. The first person he would kill was him, Emperor An Li Huang.
Emperor An Li Huang did not pay attention to the killing gazes that were pointing at him, as he was too focused on the hunting competition that was about to be implemented.
"Alright, since everyone has gathered, I will announce the rules in this competition." This time it was Third Elder Nangong Chu who spoke in front of everyone.
"Regulation one, this competition was held specifically for the Prince and Princess of the Empire. As for the daughter son of a large family, they can participate, but only to help one of the Princes and Princesses. The stronger their team, the greater the chance of winning."
"Whoever is the winner, he will get a prize in the form of 200-year-old Purple Ginseng."
The entire crowd was in an uproar hearing the word 200-year-old Purple Ginseng. But it is useless, because the one who gets Purple Ginseng is only one of the Prince or Princess of the Empire.
"As for the big families who are the team of the winners ..." continued Mr. Nangong Chu, "As for each of them will get a medicinal pill."
The crowd is getting more and more uproar, they are very excited to be one of the teams that can win this competition.
After returning to his composure, the third elder continued, "As for the second rule, whoever gets the most mid-level Warcraft, he will be the winner. If you want to be a winner, you can take Warcraft out of enemy hands."
After that, some discussions came from the crowd.
"Hey, let's bet, who will be the winner?"
"Of course Princess An Li Ruyan, she is the strongest of all her siblings."
"Yes, that was a few years ago during the election of the new Empress. Princess An Li Ruyan proved that she was the strongest and made Consort Qin Luo the new Empress. But after so many years Prince An Ziyan had also experienced an increase in his strength, and now he was on par with Princess An Li Ruyan."
"What he said was true, it was very difficult to determine between Princess An Li Ruyan or Prince An Ziyan who would be the victor."
"We'd better wait for the competition to end."
Discussions kept going which made Princess An Li Ruyan frown unhappily. All this time he had always been the number 1 genius in Huang Dong Empire, yet now Prince An Ziyan wanted to seize his position.
An Ling Yue who was listening to the discussion around him was just silent.
He silently took out a crescent moon earring from his sleeve. To date, he has not worn these earrings. He decided to wear it after entering the Feilong forest.
"Well, as time passes, you must immediately decide which side you will follow. You are free to decide!"
The Nalan family first walked towards Princess An Luo Qi, then the Nangong family walked towards Prince An Ziyan. The Qin family chose Princess An Li Ruyan, the Yang family chose An Ruochen, the Zhu family chose Prince An Qian and the Wei family chose An Zhifu.
Now the rest of the Murong family has not chosen. Everyone looked at Murong Xue Ji.
Instead of walking forward, Murong Xue Ji actually walked to the side and stood right next to An Ling Yue.
An Ling Yue just kept silent and raised next to her eyebrows. Not even resisting like before made Murong Xue Ji sigh in relief.
The emperor who saw that frowned. He asked Elder Qin Lao behind him.
"This is a competition between the Prince and the Imperial Princess. Why did the Murong family's daughter choose someone else instead?"
Master Qin Lao was stunned. He forgot that the Emperor had never seen An Ling Yue even after his birth. Even the Elders had never talked about the seventh Princess in front of him. It was only natural that the Emperor did not recognize this daughter of his.
The Emperor looked at An Ling Yue. It was only then that he noticed a face very similar to his ex-wife's.
He narrowed his eyes, killing intent slowly emanating from his body.
"I've already said that I don't want to see it, what did Physician Yao do to let her out of the cold palace?"
"Emperor, for now you must not kill him. If you kill him in front of your people, they'll think of you as a tiger eating his cubs." Master Qin Lao was sweating coldly on his back. Afraid that the Emperor would act rashly.
Hearing the words of Elder Qin Lao, the emperor dispelled his killing intent. Then he said, "I want you to kill him in the Feilong forest!"
Master Qin Lao understood the emperor was not talking to him, but rather a guard in the darkness.
Silent, there was no reply, yet Master Qin Lao felt a gust of wind blowing from beside him.
An Ling Yue felt a killing intent radiating from the Emperor's body, yet it did not affect him at all. He even smiled mockingly as the Emperor looked at him. He arrogantly clenched his chin as if challenging Emperor An Li Huang to kill him in public.
The Emperor frowned even tighter. He wanted to kill this princess. But considering that he was in front of many people, Emperor An Li Huang chose to wait for news from his subordinates.
In the moment when the Emperor and An Ling Yue were arguing in silence, on the other hand Nalan Fei Xue had the opportunity to ridicule Murong Xue Ji.
"Murong Xue Ji, you're standing on the side of the trash looking very suitable. I'm looking forward to the two of you being hunted by Warcraft."
If only he got the humiliation, it wouldn't be a problem. However Murong Xue Ji was furious when Nalan Fei Xue called An Ling Yue trash.
Murong Xue Ji sneered, "Nalan Fei Xue, I don't mind killing you right now!"
"SLOW!" Nalan Fei Xue was furious, she wanted to retaliate yet An Luo Qi glanced at her which made her speechless.
He glared at Murong Xue Ji.
Murong Xue Ji did not see him anymore. He silently glanced at An Ling Yue.
From the beginning An Ling Yue did not speak to him, but did not reject his deeds. He did not even ask the reason Murong Xue Ji approached him. It made Murong Xue Ji a little uncomfortable.
Yet for the sake of protecting him, Murong Xue Ji remained faithfully standing beside him.
After that there was no longer any issue about Murong Xue Ji choosing An Ling Yue.
"Alright, since everyone has decided, we will be leaving for Fei Long forest right now."
After that the Princes and Princesses of the Empire were followed by their teams on their respective trains.
Unless An Ling Yue and Murong Xue Ji chose to ride horses.
About a day's journey, the group finally arrived at the edge of the Feilong forest.
Lord Nangong Chu ordered everyone to rest at the edge of the forest tonight.
When everyone was setting up the tent, An Ling Yue chose to climb up the tree. Murong Xue Ji did not follow him, she understood that An Ling Yue needed time to be alone. So he decided to set up a tent.
As it became dark, no one noticed An Ling Yue entering the forest alone.
After An Ling Yue felt that she was already far away from the resting place, she took out a pair of red crescent moon earrings from her sleeves. In the moonlight, the earrings shone very beautifully.
An Ling Yue put the pair of earrings on both of her earlobes. After a while, nothing happened.
"Surprisingly, mom says I'll be able to cultivate if I wear these earrings. But until now I didn't feel any change in my body."
Even so, An Ling Yue was still waiting for a miracle.
Half an hour later, nothing happened. An Ling Yue was extremely frustrated, so she chose to return to the resting place.
The thing that An Ling Yue did not realize was that when she was in the darkness alone, the earrings shone brightly. However after he returned to his resting place, the earring dimmed as if it was just an ordinary earring.
The next day everyone was already preparing to enter the Feilong forest.
Master Nangong Chu told everyone. "I've mentioned two rules before. Now I'll say the third rule."
"There's still rules?" Ask one of the Nalan family.
Mr. Nangong Chu smiled and replied, "Yes, the next rule is that only the participants of the competition and one member of his team will enter the Feilong forest to hunt. So each team consists of only two people."
"What?"
Everyone looked surprised. Even An Li Ruyan and An Ziyan seemed to frown.
Feilong Forest was a very dangerous forest. How could they only bring one member. But since this was the rule set by the Elders, no one raised any objections.
An Ling Yue and Murong Xue Ji did not react. From the beginning, it was just the two of them on one team.
All participants have chosen their team members. They would definitely choose the strongest from that big family.
An Luo Qi had definitely chosen Nalan Fei Xue, his cousin. An Qian chose Zhu Yan'er, the eldest daughter of the Zhu family. An Zhifu chose Wei Liu Chong his cousin. An Ruochen chose Yang He. An Ziyan chose Nangong Lian and lastly An Li Ruyan chose Qin Mo'er the son of her uncle.
"Since you have chosen, now you can enter the Feilong forest."
Everyone sighed as they looked at the depths of the forest. This was the second time they would prove who was the most powerful amongst Emperor An Li Huang's Daughter Son.
