Genius Demon Empress

The eaves of the palace are deep, and a crescent moon hangs upside down like a hook.

In the royal study in the Imperial Capital of Ottawa, Princess Long Xue put down the brush in her hand.

Since the last time she was attacked, Zhan Tian has been guarding her in the imperial study. The two of them often said nothing, one reviewing memorials and the other waiting beside her, staying all night.

Tonight, something was unusual. Zhan Tian, ​​who never talked much, opened his mouth several times to speak, but held back.

In the end, Princess Long Xue couldn't hold it any longer and spoke first.

"Zhan Tian, ​​do you have something to ask me?"

"Princess, I have something unclear. Why did you recommend Yue Minzhi and several others to participate in the Rising Sun Exam this time?" Others may not know Yue Jinghua's strength, but Zhan Tian understands very well that Yue Jinghua's strength is far beyond Above Yue Minzhi, she has entered the field for the first time at such an age. If she can hone her skills carefully, her future is limitless.

Moreover, in a competition of this scale like the Rising Sun Trial, strength is not the only factor. Many unknown factors or the relationship between countries and organizations may affect the final result.

Moreover, this time the Rising Sun Trial was combined with the Mercenary Rookie King Competition, which greatly increased the possibility of various factors causing trouble.

Therefore, Zhan Tian believed that letting the loyal Yue Minzhi represent the empire was far less reliable than the cunning fox-like Yue Jinghua.

"Zhan Tian, ​​it's not that I don't want her to compete, but that someone doesn't want her to compete," Princess Long Xue showed a rare look of helplessness.

"Are you saying that someone has notified Yue Jinghua in advance not to compete? This is not in line with the rules of the competition and not in line with your usual style of doing things, princess." Zhan Tian was shocked. He did not expect that the competition in Xuyang Trial had not started yet. There are already secret forces influencing the selection of contestants for the competition.

"It's not consistent, but it must be done. Why don't I want the empire's most likely candidate to win to participate in the competition? You must know that in the last Rising Sun Trial, Long Jiuzun came first, and the Dragon War Empire is also very powerful. This time , but I can no longer win the championship." Princess Long Xue rubbed her brows with a tired look on her face.

Everyone in the world thought that she was of noble birth and lived her life as she pleased, but who knew that it was a high-ranking person like her who would be in the most troubled place on the continent.

Yue Jinghua offended an unknown and huge force. The other party pointed out that she could not participate in the Rising Sun Examination. In addition, Yue Jinghua herself had personally rejected the recommendation of the mercenary union earlier. It can only be regarded as her missing out on this opportunity to become famous in the world. great opportunity.

In fact, the gains from the Rising Sun Trial are not just as simple as fame. The competition gathers the most promising young mystical practitioners in the world. Just participating in the knockout round can bring a lot of benefits.

After all, compared with those who have been famous for a long time, what young people lack most is practical experience and various trainings, and the competitive and exciting Rising Sun Trial and Mercenary Rookie King Competition undoubtedly provide them with the most suitable place.

"According to you, it is impossible for the recommended candidates to come out on top in the Rising Sun Trial Dragon Competition this time?" Zhan Tian could not have expected that not only Yue Jinghua's participation, but also the results of the Rising Sun Trial seemed to have been revealed. Definitely decided.

"It can be said that this is why I promised not to recommend Yue Jinghua. Zhan Tian, ​​based on your understanding of the Yuezhi brothers and sisters, if it is for the needs of the empire, they must give up the game or abstain at the last moment, will they? Will you compromise?" Princess Long Xue has the blood of the Tian family. She understands that sometimes, the best minister is not the smartest and most talented minister. On the contrary, what she needs is someone who knows how to choose at the last moment. A minister who cares about the general situation of the country.

Princess Long Xue's rhetorical question had already answered all the reasons why she chose Yue Minzhi instead of Yue Jinghua.

As loyal as Yue Minzhi, he will agree to the country's request without hesitation. On the contrary, if it is Yue Jinghua, she is rebellious and will not give up until she achieves her goals. She is afraid that she will sneer and continue to do her own thing.

"However, the opportunity to test Xuyang is very rare. It would be a pity for Yue Minzhi." Zhan Tian still treated his student with pity. Yue Minzhi is a double dragon knight that has been rare in hundreds of years.

"It can only be said that he was born at the wrong time. You must know the people who participated in the Xuyang Examination this time..." Princess Long Xue shook her head.

She suddenly changed the subject, "Zhan Tian, ​​how long has it been since you last seen Xue Lingshang?"

Zhan Tian was stunned when he was asked, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.

Isn't Xue Lingshang the name of Princess Long Xue during the more than ten years she traveled, including when she served as the vice president of the outer courtyard of the Shang Royal Xuanji Academy? She has now returned to the imperial capital to be her eldest daughter. What did Xue Lingshang do?

Could it be that the princess wanted to... Zhan Tian's head suddenly felt as big as a bucket and he didn't dare to think any further. He hurriedly stopped him: "Princess, no, the dragons and snakes are mixed in the Xuyang test. You must not mess around."

"Who says I'm fooling around? Xue Lingshang has been traveling across the continent for many years and has almost visited the entire continent, but there are a few places that he has never been to. I once made a wish that before I ascend the throne, I will definitely go to one of them. One place. Do you know where the competition venue of this Rising Sun Trial is?" When Xue Lingshang talked about the location of the Rising Sun Trial, her eyes sparkled with longing like a girl.

Seeing her expression like that, Zhan Tian's heart felt hairy. He had followed Princess Long Xue for so many years, and he knew very well what kind of storm it would bring whenever the princess showed such an expression.

"Princess, you must not do it. You must know that the emperor is currently unwell, and Long Jiuzun has just died. The court is in chaos. You must not leave the imperial capital at this time." Zhan Tianzhen wanted to slap himself, but he had nothing to say. What Xuyang test. This is great, it has lifted this aunt's interest.

"Don't worry, there won't be much problem with your father's health as long as Cheng Danfeng takes care of him. The Long family is leaderless, which is even more deplorable. You haven't heard me finish yet. The venue for the Xuyang Trial this time is not just for me, even for... You will be fascinated after hearing this. The venue of the Xuyang Trial is in Sixiangqi Central City." Princess Long Xue was so excited that she spit out a name that instantly made Zhan Tian petrified.

Four Chess Midtown? !

After hearing the name, Zhan Tian only felt a roar in his head.

Princess Long Xue looked at him straightly, "Not only do I want to go there, I'm afraid all the profound practitioners in the world will want to go there."

He finally understood why Princess Long Xue still wanted to go to the private server despite the empire's situation.

It turned out to be the legendary city of miracles, the city on the mainland that is said to be closest to the plane of God, Sixiangqi Central City.

This time the Xuyang test was truly extraordinary.
