So, if I hadn't come here and nothing else had changed, how much trouble would Xiao Yan and the Emperor System have caused?

At least the red dimension is fine; Xiao Yuanshan and Xiao Yan passed down the Yin Dynasty, avoiding a century of darkness.

However, Qi Mengshu most likely didn't live to see the chaos of the Four Barbarian Tribes, otherwise she wouldn't have been so naive as to think that marrying Li Jun would guarantee her a life of wealth and honor.

It was already past midnight when she returned to the Prince's Mansion. She only dozed off for a short while before getting up to practice her martial arts and have breakfast.

Today is the day of the competition.

As the sun rose on the horizon, Xiao Zhixing, dressed in his princely attire, stepped out of Qingluan Courtyard accompanied by Bai Mei and Mo Mei, and blessed by the maids and nannies.

Xiao Yuanshan and his guards were already waiting.

The father and daughter mounted their horses and headed towards the Royal Villa, now known as the Gentleman's Residence.

[Yellow comment: Ahhhhh, an epic scene is coming! I'm so excited I haven't slept all night!]

[Yellow comment: Waaaaah, starting today, from this day forward, *****, this is a great day!]

[Green comment: Is it really that exaggerated?]

[Red comment: We're watching a show, treating it like a TV drama, and collecting some historical materials along the way.]

[Yellow comment: You don't understand, ******, our Great Sheng's glory began here, you'll understand in the future.]

[Green comment: This is the only time our Gentleman's Courtyard has done this, tsk, and it turns out to be a century of darkness, so we can't understand your excitement. The cultural lineage is severed, it's too damn painful.]

[Green comment: We sincerely wish that the dimension shown in the video is safe and sound. We hope it truly is your past history.]

[Green comment: I hope their legacy lasts longer, so we can accumulate more cultural records. Those treasures destroyed and lost in the war are truly heartbreaking.]

[Yellow comment: You can definitely do it! Our goddess never falters!]

On this matter, the viewers from the three dimensions were of one mind, after all, they came from the same lineage, and no matter how things changed, they all shared the same ancestor.

Naturally, people hope their ancestors will become better.

The city of Shengjing was bustling with activity as carriages headed toward the Junzi Courtyard, its main gate wide open.

Civil and military officials, along with their families and children, attended the event, occasionally gathering together to whisper among themselves before entering the main playground of the Gentlemen's Courtyard and taking their seats.

There were also quite a few people waiting outside, all of them long-eared laborers who were there to gather information and pass it on.

After all, the gambling was still going on, and those who couldn't enter the Gentleman's Courtyard wanted to know the latest news as soon as possible.

Therefore, today, the restaurants, eateries and teahouses in Shengjing are packed with people, and the streets are bustling with activity.

Scholars, wealthy merchants, and ordinary people all gathered in groups of three or five to participate in this grand event.

When Xiao Zhixing and Xiao Yuanshan entered the playground, the scene fell silent, and everyone lowered their voices.

Huo Baijun and Xiong Chumo immediately ran over, "Your Highness, they recommended the two of us to compete with you. We are so sorry, can we refuse?"

Firstly, she didn't want to fight Xiao Zhixing; secondly, she really couldn't win and would just get completely humiliated.

Xiao Zhixing chuckled, "Give me a good beating. How can I claim the title if I don't win?"

Huo Baijun's face immediately scrunched up like a chrysanthemum.

Xiong Chumo scratched his head and gritted his teeth, "I can take a beating. If I fight the prince, I will use all my strength."

The harder it is for the prince to win, the more it proves how capable she is.

Xiao Zhixing smiled and said, "That's right, Abao understands my heart perfectly."

Huo Baijun: Hmph, cunning fellow.

At the beginning of the hour of Si (9-11 AM), the emperor's imperial carriage arrived at the Junzi Courtyard and ascended the high platform.

The competition has officially begun.
