"What's the most important thing? Tell me already, stop dawdling."

When the emperor stopped halfway through his sentence, Ziker's heart pounded with anxiety, and he urged him on.

The only person in the entire world who dared to say that the emperor was indecisive was Ziker, who relied on the emperor's favoritism towards his sister.

The saying "those who are favored are fearless" applies to Zicker as well.

"Most importantly—"

yes--"

Seeing that Ziker was getting anxious, the emperor was secretly pleased. He thought to himself that Ziker had bullied him before by taking advantage of his leniency, and now he could finally get his revenge.

"What is it? Tell me quickly!"

Ziker was extremely curious and urged him impatiently.

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. Ertai was chosen by Niannian herself, and it's what Niannian likes."

Having successfully witnessed Ziker's anxious and eager expression, the Emperor was pleased and, without beating around the bush, told him the news with a smile.

The trump card is reciting it.

"Remember...remember yourself? You chose it yourself?"

"Did you really choose that yourself?"

As expected, Ziker's voice weakened considerably as soon as the Emperor spoke.

"Hmm, our Niannian chose it herself, so we have to agree whether we like it or not."

The emperor shrugged helplessly.

None of them could refuse Niannian's request.

"Then...then find an opportunity to let that young man come and meet me."

The emperor was right. They had no choice but to agree to Niannian's choice, whether they liked it or not. They couldn't refuse any of Niannian's requests.

He would agree as long as the child was good, but if the child was not, he would break them up, even at the risk of incurring Niannian's hatred.

He couldn't possibly let Niannian go into a fire pit.

Since Saiya is going to stay here for a while, he needs to give her some advice and remind her to be careful.

Nian Nian is simple-minded; she can't be fooled by that boy's sweet talk.

Ziker had no idea that it was his daughter, Nian Nian, who had taken the initiative to pursue the young man.

"Okay, I'll have him come find you after the competition, but be careful not to scare him, or Niannian will come after you."

Upon hearing Ziker's words, the Emperor nodded, and Ertai agreed, adding a word of advice.

Ertai must get past Ziker.

"Hey~, do you think I'm that kind of person? I'd like to see what this young man is capable of, that he managed to kidnap our Niannian."

The Emperor's words caused a flock of crows to fly overhead at Ziker's head.

The two people in the stands were having a heated discussion, while the two people on the fighting platform below were also fighting fiercely.

"Alright, Niannian, we've finished discussing. Let's continue watching the martial arts competition. Your Saiya is amazing!"

Looking at Saiya standing on the stage fighting with Ertai, the Emperor nodded approvingly and praised her sincerely.

In the end, Ertai, for reasons unknown, chose to lose to Saiya subtly.

Only then did I have a chance to go back to the stands.

"Damn, you lost on purpose, didn't you?"

Seeing Ertai with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and with the Empress Dowager's leniency, Chen Nian walked behind Ertai's seat, handed him his handkerchief, and calmly asked.

She knew how good Ertai's martial arts were; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to fight against so many White Lotus Sect members and only suffer minor injuries.

Saiya's martial arts skills are still far inferior to Ertai's.

"Saiya's martial arts skills are quite good."

Ertai took the handkerchief from Chennian, and when he saw his little princess, he finally smiled. His smile was gentle and warm, like a silent spring rain, and it touched people's hearts.

They didn't say whether it was intentional or not, and used other words instead.
