Chapter 2831 Delusional
The sun hung high in the sky, casting its blazing rays upon the scene.
The first day of the competition consisted of preliminaries, and at first glance, there wasn't much to capture one's interest.
The entire drill ground had been divided into ten battle stages, each hosting simultaneous competitions.
Qiao Mu and their group arrived just in time to witness the standard class competition in full swing.
According to Holy Son Miyan, they were tasked with selecting 30 students with decent cultivation from the Imperial Academy to accompany them into the Luniso secret realm in search of treasures.
Qiao Mu didn't place much importance on this so-called treasure hunt. It wasn't the first time the Lunisolar secret realm had been opened, and the Lunisolar Shrine had ventured inside countless times before. Who knew what remnants remained within?
In contrast, Little Fatty and the others seemed quite intrigued and beckoned Qiao Mu as they arrived at the arena. "Qiaoqiao, let's join the competition!"
With ten battle stages available, they could conveniently register their matches anywhere.
Duan Yue, not particularly enthusiastic about the Lunisolar secret realm, decided to participate since everyone else was going. Staying alone at the Imperial Academy would be rather dull. Thus, he waved at Qiao Mu and followed Little Fatty to a battle stage.
"Ah-Yue," Commandery Princess Xiangchang darted towards Duan Yue with the grace of a butterfly among flowers, joyfully exclaiming, "I finally get to see you again."
Duan Yue didn't even spare her a glance, brushing past her with indifference. "Please, don't block the way."
Commandery Princess Xiangchang remained unfazed by his cool demeanor. She approached with a smile and suggested, "Are you also here for the quota competition? How about we team up? Ah-Yue, let's form a team when we enter the Lunisolar secret realm."
"While my cultivation may not be considered high, my expertise in pill-making is rather exceptional. If we team up, I can provide you with valuable pills… Ah-Yue? Ah-Yue!" Commandery Princess Xiangchang stomped her feet and hurriedly tried to catch up.
Meanwhile, Duan Yue quickened his pace and reached a battle stage in no time.
Frustrated and determined, Commandery Princess Xiangchang pursued him relentlessly, almost colliding head-on with someone.
"Hey!" Both Commandery Princess Xiangchang and the newcomer came to a sudden halt. When they saw each other, anger welled up automatically. "Huanxiu, what are you doing here?"
Wu Huanxiu couldn't hide her exasperation at Commandery Princess Xiangchang. "His Highness, the Chen Prince, is clearly avoiding you, Xiangchang. Why do you keep chasing after him?"
"Who said Brother Ah-Yue is avoiding me?" Commandery Princess Xiangchang stamped her foot and retorted, "Even if he is ignoring me now, it doesn't mean he always will. If I work hard enough, I can make him see me differently."
Wu Huanxiu sighed and rolled her eyes. "Honestly, don't be so persistent. How about not going to the Lunisolar secret realm? It's quite dangerous there."
"That's not an option. Since Brother Ah-Yue wants to go, I have to accompany him," Commandery Princess Xiangchang firmly asserted and pushed Wu Huanxiu aside. "Don't stop me! I still need to participate in the exam."
"You…" Wu Huanxiu rolled her eyes again and muttered, "You really don't give up on your pursuits."
She then shifted her gaze towards a quiet figure observing the commotion from the sidelines.
Judging by Holy Son Miyan's tone, this Crown Prince Consort of the Divine Province had already obtained a blank jade tablet for entering and exiting the secret realm. She had come to the arena purely to watch the battles.
Everyone had their own path in life, Wu Huanxiu thought as she pursed her lips. She still had her own challenges to face later.
"His Excellency the Holy Son has arrived."
