What's going on?

Yuan Zhao snapped out of her daze and looked at Wen Feng beside her. Wen Feng, seeing her approach, quickly said:

“Miss, when the young general came to the training ground, he saw the whip in Princess Chaoyang’s hand and immediately became unhappy, demanding that Princess Chaoyang give him the whip.”

"The princess naturally refused, and the two began to fight."

Yuan Zhao: "..."

The whip she gave to Princess Chaoyang was made from the tendons of a giant python, a material that is extremely rare. Her second brother had found it for her before, so he naturally recognized it.

She thought for a long time before having someone take out this soft whip from the storeroom to present Princess Chaoyang with a birthday gift.

This soft whip was too precious for her to use, so it had been sitting there unused.

Who knew that my second brother would see this today, and naturally he was displeased.

I need to have a good talk with my second brother later.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw my second brother throw Princess Chaoyang off the training ground without any hesitation.

Princess Chaoyang had never suffered such humiliation before. Her phoenix eyes reddened, and she said resentfully:

"Again."

Yuan Man twitched the corner of his mouth and said:

"I'm too lazy to play with you."

Give me back my whip.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zhao quickly replied:

"Second brother, the princess is my guest."

"I also gave the whip to the princess."

Feng Tong and Yuan Man had said this before, but Yuan Man didn't believe it.

Now that he heard Yuan Zhao say it himself, he had no choice but to believe it.

He hadn't expected Zhao Zhao to give away the soft whip, even though she liked it so much.

Thinking about what Zhao Zhao had said, he felt a pang of heartache.

They couldn't make their youngest sister happy every day, but instead expected her to plan and scheme for the family.

He felt it was their dereliction of duty as older brothers.

Thinking of this, Yuan Man left with a sullen face.

Seeing this, Yuan Zhao could only try to appease her later; the most important thing now was Princess Chaoyang.

"Princess, please don't blame my second brother."

"I don't blame you."

Princess Chaoyang flicked her whip, showing no displeasure whatsoever, but rather an enthusiastic expression:

"He's the first person to beat me!"

"I have many masters in my household, but none of them are my match now. I know they are all letting me win and trying to make me happy."

"But your second brother doesn't."

"I've heard that your father and brothers dote on you. Could you talk to your second brother and ask him to let you compete with him in the future?"

Yuan Zhao: "..."

Yuan Zhao was genuinely surprised that Princess Chaoyang was so interested in the competition, and he was both amused and exasperated.

"What about us? Are we still going to compete?"

"Compare."

Princess Chaoyang was genuinely interested.

In the mansion, the people her mother hired only knew how to flatter her and never actually fought her, so she was unaware of her own true abilities.

Today, upon arriving at the General's Mansion, she finally felt that there are always higher realms to be conquered and more capable people to be respected.

Yuan Zhao was no slouch either. She hadn't practiced martial arts for a long time, but when it came to actually fighting, she quickly regained her form and fought to a standstill with Princess Chaoyang.

Their skills were insignificant compared to those of a master, but they were more than enough to deal with ordinary petty thieves.

"carefree!"

Princess Chaoyang's riding attire was dirty and her hair was messy, but she showed no displeasure whatsoever.

This was the most enjoyable fight she'd ever had.

“I’ve made up my mind. I don’t want any more masters anymore. I’m going to take your second brother as my master.”

Yuan Zhao: "..."

"Princess, please come to my courtyard to freshen up first."

Yuan Zhao spoke.

Today's match was not only a great experience for Princess Chaoyang, but she herself hadn't felt so free and unrestrained in a long time.

This is the real her. Why did she insist on making trouble for herself in her past life and pursuing things she wasn't good at?

Princess Chaoyang naturally went without hesitation. The two were of similar build, and Yuan Zhao brought her his own clothes, which Princess Chaoyang changed into without any objection.

The two had just sat down when Linglong rushed in.

"Miss, Miss, Mr. Gu has become the top scholar in the imperial examination!"
