Chapter 1523: Chapter 9: Bai Yan’s Malice (Part 9)

Stunning!

At this moment, everyone’s eyes were filled with astonishment.

They had never seen such a handsome man, as if a celestial being and a demon, seamlessly combining these two qualities together. However, this man was too young, so young that it was hard to believe his courage...

For a moment, everyone began to discuss.

"Who is this young man? What’s his background?"

"I know, it seems that back then, he was stopped by people from the Prince Manor because he had no real strength. If it weren’t for Lady Bai Yan’s intercession, he clearly wouldn’t have been able to even enter the Imperial City. I don’t know where he gets the courage to challenge! Just because he looks a bit good-looking."

The person saying this had an obvious tone of envy.

Besides his looks, this young man really didn’t seem to have any other advantages. If he were strong enough, how would he have been stopped outside the Imperial City by the Prince Manor...

So, in their view, it was impossible for this young man to have any real strength.

The Priest also hadn’t expected the challenger this time would be such a young person. He frowned slightly and asked, "Young Master, whom do you wish to challenge?"

"Great Commander, Sun Yao!"

Ye Sihuang’s lips curled slightly, his gaze falling on the evasive figure of Sun Yao.

But upon hearing his words, everyone was stunned.

Who was the Great Commander? A person from the Prince Manor, and in today’s plaza, only the Prince himself could surpass him. Yet, he was so bold as to challenge Sun Yao first?

But what was more shocking was that upon hearing Ye Sihuang clearly announce he wanted to challenge him, Sun Yao’s face changed, and he hesitated to step forward, as if avoiding something...

To be honest, after coming to the Imperial City, Sun Yao really wasn’t afraid of Ye Sihuang.

After all, he had the Prince backing him.

However, now it was during the Prison Ceremony, even if the King wasn’t present, there still was a Priest, forcing him to be cautious of Ye Sihuang...

"Sun Yao, what are you standing there for?"

The Prince’s voice held some impatience as he saw Sun Yao hesitating to step forward.

"Aren’t you going to fight immediately?"

At this moment, Sun Yao couldn’t help but feel troubled.

Duel? That would be seeking death, wouldn’t it?

Sun Yao believed, Ye Sihuang would absolutely not let him go! As long as given the chance, he would certainly kill him! So, the only way now was to admit defeat.

As long as he got through this Prison Ceremony, he would have plenty of opportunities for revenge.

Thinking of this, Sun Yao took a deep breath, gritting his teeth, "I forfeit!"

For... forfeit?

At that moment, everyone thought they had a problem with their hearing.

Sun Yao actually admitted defeat?

And to a young boy?

This result was simply impossible! They must have heard wrong, yes, definitely heard wrong!

"Sun Yao, what did you just say?"

The Prince’s face changed slightly.

Sun Yao’s forfeiture obviously meant losing face.

If he lost to an old monster, it wouldn’t matter, but forfeiting to a young brat! This was clearly slapping the face of the Prince Manor, something he couldn’t tolerate!

"Prince, I want to forfeit."

Sun Yao looked somewhat fearfully at the Prince and said, "I..."

"Hmph," the Prince snorted coldly, "People from the Prince Manor either die or do not forfeit! You will go fight immediately!"

"But, I..."

"Hurry up and go!"

In any case, he would not allow Sun Yao to disgrace the Prince Manor.

This battle must happen!
