Chapter 557 The Dark Horse in the Imperial Competition
When she heard Ye Lingyue's name, Hong Mingyue couldn't stop her fingers. She clenched them together and tightened them until her fingers were pinched red before slowly letting go.
Hong Mingyue has never taken Ye Lingyue seriously.
Ye Lingyue is nothing, an abandoned daughter who can't even enter the Hong family's family tree.
When we first met, she was just an innate warrior.
Compared with her, Hong Mingyue is like a pearl in the sky, while Ye Lingyue is just a fish eye that has fallen into the dust.
Hong Mingyue didn't even want to fight Ye Lingyue. She used to be disdainful, but now she can't.
But I don't know when it started, just such an inconspicuous fish eye took away everything that originally belonged to her.
First the title of princess, and then the name of genius, even the proud men like Feng Xin and Xia Houchi have their hearts set on Ye Lingyue.
And what about her, Hong Mingyue?
She was obviously a noble daughter of the Hou family, but she couldn't help herself since she was born.
When Hong Mingyue learned of Ye Lingyue's "death", she was not happy. On the contrary, she only felt deeper jealousy.
Jealousy Because of her death, Ye Lingyue's name will remain in everyone's heart forever.
The Phoenix King who lost his soul, Xia Houchi whose temperament changed drastically, everyone reminded Hong Mingyue that Ye Lingyue was better than her.
Therefore, Hong Mingyue has been unwilling to believe that Ye Lingyue is dead.
She hopes that Ye Lingyue is still alive. As long as she is still alive, they will have the opportunity to have a real competition. She will defeat Ye Lingyue in front of everyone and let everyone know that only she, Hong Mingyue, is the best.
Hong Mansion's unique genius.
Hong Mingyue has been waiting for Ye Lingyue to appear since the registration for the Daxia Imperial Competition began.
But, she didn't show up.
Tomorrow is the last day to register for the competition, and Ye Lingyue still shows no signs of it.
Could it be that she really died in Xingxiu Cave?
For the first time in her life, Hong Mingyue regarded a person as her opponent, but now, that opponent is dead.
Hong Mingyue was a little discouraged, but at the same time she was a little unwilling.
Seeing that Hong Mingyue remained silent, Hong Fang just assumed that she was in a bad mood. She had been depressed ever since her daughter got engaged to Luo Song.
Apart from feeling emotional, I also felt a little guilty.
My daughter is so talented, but she wants to marry someone like Luo Song.
"Mingyue, daddy is sorry for you." Hong Fang sighed with emotion.
"Father, sometimes, I really wish I was Ye Lingyue." Hong Mingyue suddenly stood up and walked out.
Hong Fang was stunned, not understanding what his daughter meant.
If she could, she really didn't want to be born in a Hou family with a deep family. She would rather learn from Ye Lingyue, and let her fly in the vast sea and sky. Unfortunately, she didn't have the courage like Ye Lingyue, and she broke her own wings with her own hands.
Seeing his daughter's frail figure disappearing into the courtyard, Hong Fang hesitated to speak.
"Mingyue, don't worry, my father will not wrong you. After tomorrow, Hong Mansion and the whole Daxia will belong to our family." Hong Fang took out a letter from his sleeve.
The letter was answered by "Chen Hongru" and stated that he would assign one hundred alchemists to Hong Fang.
These one hundred alchemists who are proficient in combat will kill Prince Hong without anyone noticing during the competition in front of the Emperor of Daxia, when Prince Hong leads the monks to force the palace to usurp the throne.
Without Crown Prince Hong, he will become the future heir to the Hong Mansion, the prince of the new dynasty, and the future emperor.
Hong Fang couldn't help but get excited when he thought of this. After working hard for so many years, he would finally get everything he dreamed of. Whether it was Ye Huangyu or huge power, everything would be his.
On the second day, the imperial competition in Daxia officially began.
This time, the competition was unprecedentedly grand. Emperor Xia and Prince Xia Houqi both came to the scene to watch the competition among the young warriors. Even King Feng came back from Beiqing to watch this competition in front of the emperor.
The competition adopts a challenge and elimination system. The same player can only be challenged up to three times in one day. The person who can finally stand on the ring is the champion.
A group of people from the Ye family are living in Lan Mansion these days, and several of Ye Lingyue's cousins are very familiar with Lan Cai'er.
On the day of the competition, everyone from Lan Mansion and Guan Wuhou Mansion had already entered the palace.
For this competition, the palace's school grounds have been specially renovated and part of it is open to the public. People in Xia Capital only need to spend fifty taels of silver per person to enter the palace to watch the competition.
The officials in the court were divided into different areas in the school grounds to sit according to their rank.
The one closest to the school grounds is the royal family, and those adjacent to the royal family are the noble princes of Daxia and the first-, first- and second-rank officials and their families.
After Ye Huangyu ascended the rank, the Ye family's VIP seat was next to Queen Liu, opposite to the Hong Mansion.
Since Lord Hong is in retreat recently, the Hong Mansion is led by Prince Hong this time.
The Hong Mansion's participants in this imperial competition are Hong Mingyue and Hong Yulang, brothers and sisters, and a descendant of the fourth room of the Hong Mansion. However, Hong Yulang is participating on behalf of the Hongwu Palace this time.
Before the competition even started, Lan Cai'er, as a veteran, carefully taught several stronger warriors including Ye Liuyun and Ye Yinshuang.
"This competition is probably the strongest imperial competition in the history of Great Xia. But in terms of real strength, to be honest, there are only a few people, and one of them is the pair of insidious brothers and sisters from the Hong Mansion." Lan Cai'er's eyes widened.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced not far away.
Before Hong Mingyue arrived, Hong Yulang and a group of dandies from Xia Capital were looking at Ye Yinshuang and Ye Liuyun behind Lan Cai'er with ill intentions.
"Hong Mansion, is the Hong Mansion that abandoned Third Gu and Sister Ling Yue?" Ye Liuyun and Ye Yinshuang also saw the resentment in Lan Cai'er's eyes.
After Ye Huangyu was imprisoned in the sky prison, the matter between her and Hong Fang was no longer a secret to the Ye family.
Only then did Ye Yinshuang and the others know that mother and daughter Ye Huangyu had had such a miserable experience.
Especially Ye Liuyun. Although she had never bullied Ye Lingyue, she had never intervened when her brother and other members of the Ye family bullied Ye Lingyue in the early years. Thinking about it now, she felt even more guilty.
Now that Ye Lingyue is dead, out of a compensatory mentality, Ye Liuyun will never show mercy when meeting someone from the Hong Mansion during a competition.
No one expected that Ye Liuyun would become a dark horse in the imperial competition in Daxia.
In the few days since the imperial competition began, for three consecutive days, she had passed every test.
Even on the third day of the competition, she shocked the world and defeated Hong Yulang, who represented Hongwu Hall.
This made Hong Yulang, who had originally planned to repair the Ye family, lose his face.
When Hong Yulang was helped down, he glared at Ye Liuyun fiercely. The faces of everyone in the Hong Mansion turned blue in the audience. Zhuge Rou supported his son distressedly and scolded Hong Mingyue beside him with some dissatisfaction.
"Mingyue, why don't you take action? That Ye Liuyun is from the Ye family. She hurt your brother, you must teach her a lesson!"
