Chapter 179 I'm in love with Xiao Yuchen

The maid retreated immediately after hearing Ji Lan's words.

Ji Lan looked around at everyone's faces. Except for Xiao Yuchen and Yue Li, she had some impression of almost all the other young masters.

"All of you follow me to the arena."

The place where Ji Lan will compete this time is not here. There is a competition arena inside the princess's mansion, and today's competition will be held there.

She took the lead and walked towards that place with her maids and servants. When they arrived at the place, she walked to the first seat and sat down. There were tables prepared in the two rows below, with tea, fruits and snacks on them.

She waved her hand and asked everyone to take a seat.

The table was for two people, so Yue Li naturally sat next to Xiao Yuchen. When Liu Yijun saw that the table next to Yue Li was empty, he was a little hesitant about whether to sit there. After all, what happened just now was a bit embarrassing.

As luck would have it, while he was thinking about it, all the tables were already full of people, except for the table next to Yue Li, which was empty.

Unfortunately, he was the only one who hadn't sat down. In order to avoid being too conspicuous, he walked forward and sat down.

Seeing that all the seats were occupied, Ji Lan asked someone to bring up a box wrapped in red cloth. "I invited everyone to come to my palace today because I want to recruit a husband. Whoever wins the first prize will get the things inside.

I don't need to introduce the things inside, right? This is the dragon bone given to me by my father, and it is also a rare treasure. Okay, the martial arts competition begins now."

After Ji Lan finished speaking, he asked someone to put the box aside in a conspicuous place.

Xiao Yuchen and Yue Li kept their eyes fixed on the wooden box. The wooden box was not opened, and they could not see whether the contents were the dragon bones they were looking for. They looked at each other, and Yue Li spoke first.

"Achen, is this princess unwanted? She's actually looking for a husband. I heard she's the emperor's favorite princess, isn't she? Wouldn't it be better to just take anyone you want into the palace? Why go through so much trouble?"

Yue Li spoke in a very low voice, using almost all her internal energy, so no one else could hear her.

Xiao Yuchen was also speechless. He had originally thought that he would definitely get the dragon bone in the martial arts competition, but now, even if he got the dragon bone, he would be recruited as a son-in-law. He didn't want to be involved with this princess.

"I don't know."

While the two were whispering, two people had already gone up to the ring.

"Achen, take out the bottle and let me take a look at the situation outside." Jiang Nanyuan's voice sounded in Xiao Yuchen's ears.

Ever since Jiang Nanyuan's soul was in the bottle, Xiao Yuchen took it with him wherever he went, and sometimes he could talk to Jiang Nanyuan.

However, Jiang Nanyuan's soul was a little weak, and sometimes she was in a deep sleep. Occasionally she would wake up and talk to him. It just so happened that she woke up at this time.

Seeing what was happening outside, she also wanted to see what was happening outside.

When Xiao Yuchen heard Jiang Nanyuan's words, he immediately took out the bottle from his arms and placed it on the table, "Can you see it like this?"

He was also worried that Jiang Nanyuan couldn't see it, so he took the initiative to adjust a good position for her.

"Yeah, you can see it."

After hearing what Jiang Nanyuan said, he stopped moving the bottle. His attention was all on Jiang Nanyuan's bottle. He was indifferent to everything on the ring. He didn't plan to take action today. He just wanted to see who would take the dragon bone in the end. Then he would follow that person, knock him out and take it away.

He was thinking about this in his mind and didn't notice that Ji Lan's eyes fell on him from time to time.

"Achen, I think that Tenth Princess has taken a fancy to you. I've seen her secretly glancing at you several times."

When Xiao Yuchen heard Yue Li's words, he didn't even look at Ji Lan, but rolled his eyes at Yue Li.

"If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb. I think that young man is pretty good. Why don't you consider him?"

Xiao Yuchen also knew that Yue Li was teasing him on purpose. Since he had offered it to him, he shouldn't blame him for teasing him back.

Speaking of this, Yue Li's face darkened. There was nothing wrong with his sexual orientation, as there was no problem with the woman he liked.

It’s just that he likes pretty women, and at the moment there is really no one who catches his eye. It’s not that there are no pretty women, but that he just doesn’t have any feelings for them.

While the two were joking, the fight on the ring was over and soon a man was knocked down from the ring.

And when the man fell, another man went up.

Jiang Nanyuan was watching with great interest. All the men here were good-looking, not a single ugly one, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

Ji Lan's eyes were always on Xiao Yuchen, and she had no time to look at the ring. Now her heart was all on Xiao Yuchen, and she was just waiting for him to come on stage.

But she noticed that almost half of the people had gone up, and Xiao Yuchen hadn't yet. Could it be that he was also a weak scholar forced by his family to come? Did he not know martial arts?

The thought of being with them seemed like being with that nerd Liu Yijun. I was afraid they all knew each other and were all literati.

Thinking of this, Ji Lan became anxious. If he had known earlier, they would have held another poetry competition together.

Forget it. If he doesn't show up, she will let her own people go up. Forget it this time. She can just wait until the next literary competition and invite people there.

Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at a man in black behind her and gave him a wink.

After receiving Ji Lan's gaze, the man nodded and retreated.

When he came out again, he had changed his clothes and mixed in with these young men while no one was paying attention.

There was already a young man on the ring who had defeated three people in a row. Seeing this, Ji Lan's secret guard flipped over and flew up. There were not many people left, so he had to finish them off quickly.

After he went up, the man who had previously dominated the list was quickly knocked down.

Obviously, when he was knocked down, his eyes were full of unwillingness, and then when he saw the person who knocked him down, he instantly understood what this meant. It seemed that the princess wanted to tease them this time.

After this man went up, everyone recognized him as the princess's secret guard. At this time, Ji Lan also spoke up, "This is my secret guard. You guys continue. Whoever defeats him will be considered the winner."

After hearing Ji Lan's words, everyone looked at the men on the ring in silence. A few young men went forward confidently, but were beaten down in disgrace.

Until the end, no one went up. Ji Lan was really disappointed when she saw that Xiao Yuchen didn't move at all.

"Well, since there's no one left, let's call it a day. It's such a shame that no one can take this dragon bone away.

I'm tired, come, help me back."
