Capítulo 1632: Chapter 91: Silent Affection Through Glances
The two princesses awaited the final result with anxious hearts.
In the end, both were eliminated and narrowly missed making the finals.
Overall, Princess Xinting’s array was slightly better than Princess Jianping’s, giving her a small edge in terms of array power.
This result, of course, did not sit well with Princess Jianping. Why should her seventh sister’s array be deemed slightly better when both were of the same level?
She then called other judges to weigh in, to see if there really was a difference between the two arrays.
Since Su Jianping was the host princess, judges from other academies granted her the courtesy of evaluating the situation.
After examining, several judges unanimously concluded that Su Jianping’s defensive array was indeed slightly inferior to Su Xinting’s offensive array.
Su Jianping was disgruntled, threatening to have the Elder of Tian Cui Academy inspect the result, only to be halted by her Empress Mother: “Ping’er, don’t make a fuss!”
Su Jianping immediately became compliant, not daring to defy her Empress Mother’s orders.
The person with the most decisive power was her Empress Mother. If even she wouldn’t stand by her, regardless of any so-called fairness she managed to obtain, it wouldn’t bring her any benefits.
Losing face was inevitable, and Princess Xinting felt that all of this was initiated by her third sister; if it were her, she definitely wouldn’t have acted this way.
Yun Qing Immortal also thought this disciple had lost her composure. The judges present from each academy were all array masters, and Princess Jianping shouldn’t publicly question these seniors’ abilities.
The ministers of Yuncui Kingdom were also disappointed in Princess Jianping, feeling that a princess of a country shouldn’t be so petty over trivial matters. Such narrow-mindedness would make it difficult to manage a nation.
Facing the pointing fingers and disappointed looks of the crowd, Princess Jianping seemed to realize she had made a mistake. However, it was too late to restore the situation.
Finally, she turned around with a face full of hatred to glare at Princess Xinting, and then left the stage sulkily.
Princess Xinting felt speechless, as if she had instigated the matter.
Not entering the finals was surely a bit disappointing; the regret stemmed from not being able to compete alongside Lin Yifan and determine the victor.
She glanced towards the Tian Cui Academy seating area, looking for that familiar figure. Upon seeing Lin Yifan, her cherry lips moved silently, mouthing two words: “Good luck!”
Though unable to see the shape of Princess Xinting’s lips, Lin Yifan knew what Princess Xinting meant to convey, so he nodded in response to her encouragement.
This scene was witnessed by everyone present. All believed the two certainly had an intimate relationship.
“Beauty loves hero, it seems the saying doesn’t lie.”
“Pity such beauty falls beyond our reach.”
“Is he going to bury himself by becoming a Prince Consort in Yuncui Kingdom?”
“Although gaining a beauty, it sacrifices a lot for the Great Dao.”
…
Many felt disappointed, while many felt Lin Yifan deserved better.
Lin Yifan was a talent that appeared once in a millennium, and such a figure being stifled in this world truly was a waste.
Nonetheless, this was Lin Yifan’s choice, and they would respect it.
The Empress of Yuncui Kingdom hadn’t expected the two to exchange looks of affection, appearing to have fallen for each other, saving her a great deal of trouble.
Even Konghui Immortal was surprised by how quickly the two developed, suggesting Princess Xinting already had a claim to the heir apparent position.
The term heir indicative of Crown Prince, the successor of a nation’s throne.
With some cheerful, naturally some discontent; though this was anticipated, the two’s blatant expressions of love implied it was developing to a fruitful stage, causing Yun Qing Immortal growing anxious.
Lin Yifan was an infinitely potent genius. With him aiding Princess Xinting, in the future no one would question Princess Xinting’s ability to govern.
Why say this? In Yuncui Kingdom, the man behind the Empress, aside from the mission of reproducing heirs, was also required to eliminate all dissenters, consolidate the Empress’s power, and ensure her safety. Hence, a strong support was a crucial consideration for all past Crown Princes. Without strong support, aspiring to be Crown Prince was incredibly difficult.
Becoming strong support wasn’t for just anyone, only young talents or those with powerful strength could qualify.
Considering the future development of the nation, Yuncui Kingdom leaned towards young talents. Lin Yifan met all criteria, so once their relationship was established, 70 percent certainty was that the position of Crown Prince would be Princess Xinting’s.
Once Princess Xinting became Crown Prince, then Princess Jianping’s status would be precarious.
She supported Princess Jianping and was her master; without Princess Jianping’s status, she would likewise lose standing in Yuncui Kingdom.
Sometimes gambling is like this, once you’ve thrown all in, you can’t go back, so she must find a way to eliminate Lin Yifan.
On another side, Princess Qingyan hadn’t expected this playboy would reach into the royal family of Yuncui Kingdom, indicating future debauchery.
This is something she would never allow to happen, so after the match, she must expose Lin Yifan’s crimes and ugly side, letting the royal family of Yuncui Kingdom see Lin Yifan’s true face.
Lin Yifan hadn’t expected a nod would incite such a huge reaction; he was merely being polite in responding to Princess Xinting’s encouragement. What’s surprising? What’s overthinking?
Sometimes rumors are like this, difficult to escape from.
After the second group finished, the third group entered the stage.
Lin Yifan once again became the center of attention; everyone was eager to see his array abilities.
Lin Yifan had consecutively won the championship in two matches. If he won this match as well, he would be the seventh person to achieve the Grand Slam since the establishment of the Six Academy Tournament.
If everything proceeded smoothly, he would break a record — the youngest and lowest realm Grand Slam winner since the Six Academy Tournament was founded.
This would be recorded in history, because it would be extremely difficult for anyone to break this record.
“Junior Brother Zhang! Go for it!”
“Junior Brother Zhang! Go for it!”
…
On the side of Tian Cui Academy, many female students were waving flags and cheering for Lin Yifan.
They felt Lin Yifan was their only hope; only Lin Yifan could create miracles, allowing their Tian Cui Academy to regain its glory.
Behind glory lies responsibility. Although Lin Yifan disliked such burdens being forced upon him, it was all right. In any case, he would try his best to win the championship, as he wanted to reap the championship’s rewards.
Upon hearing these cheers, for some reason, Princess Qingyan suddenly felt very annoyed.
These women were too foolish, deceived by Lin Yifan’s surface charms. She felt it necessary to take action, so she must reveal Lin Yifan’s crimes post-match, not letting him roam free any longer.
The match began with the third group contestants immediately bringing out their Spiritual Pearls to deploy their arrays.
