The official said in a deep voice, "You are disrupting the competition. You will be punished, do you know that?"
Mu Wen was neither humble nor arrogant and was not intimidated by the official's authority. He even smiled politely, "Sir, this is not the only competition. In the entire imperial husband selection test, there is no competition that says that a third party cannot interfere in the battle between two people."
Even Changsun Wuji, Baili Feiyue, and Mu Wen and Mu Wu, did not communicate with each other in advance.
But Mu Wen reacted very quickly. After Changsun Wuji did this, he immediately and accurately thought of a loophole that could be exploited.
Changsun Wuji curled his thin lips slightly.
As expected, he is a member of the Mu family.
The official nearly choked.
Isn't this sophistry?
Is it necessary to specifically bring this up as a rule?
But damn, this seems to be true. The main thing is that this person attacked the ground, not even the plum blossom pile related to the competition, and certainly not the two people in the competition.
They couldn't refute it for a moment!
The people around started talking again.
The main topic of discussion now is how to determine the outcome of this game.
The officials also communicated silently with their eyes.
The high-spirited Baili Feiyue and the Lancang Sect's leader who looked as if he had lost his soul stayed in the messy place waiting for the result to be announced.
In the royal seat, Qian Yueluo had obviously seen through the trick between Baili Feiyue and Changsun Wuji. Her whole body tensed up invisibly, and she glanced at Qian Jingshu quietly several times.
Qian Jingshu was the only one who seemed to have paid no attention to Changsun Wuji and was only interested in the results of the competition.
This level of interest made Qian Yueluo feel inexplicably uneasy.
Because Qian Jingshu still had a smile on her face!
This pure, innocent and beautiful smile reminded Qian Yueluo of the gentle yet creepy smile that Qian Jingshu showed when she pushed Baili Feiyue down the cliff on the way to West Kunlun!
Second Princess...did you recognize her?
Yes, no matter how that man tried to conceal his aura, anyone who had seen him would recognize him.
He is the kind of man you will never forget once you meet him!
Qian Yueluo lowered her eyes slightly, but after a moment, when she raised her eyes again, all the inappropriate emotions in her eyes were gone.
The discussion among the people below had only been going on for a few moments, but it had already reached a fever pitch.
"Of course I win. Murong Jiu didn't violate any of the rules of the competition."
"What a joke! If that person hadn't suddenly made such a deep hole on the ground, Murong Jiu would have definitely fallen to the ground with his feet first!"
You and I both spoke our minds, each of us insisting on our own opinions.
The officials in charge of this match in the stands could no longer make eye contact. Someone asked, "Should we ask the Queen Mother for permission?"
Another official immediately sneered, "We are in charge of this matter under the order of the Queen Mother. Now we have to trouble the Queen Mother just because there is a small problem. Your Excellency, is your salary from the court just for nothing?"
The official who was being criticized snorted angrily, "Of course, I am not as courageous as you, Lord Yu. Lord Yu can be the master, so I will leave this matter to Lord Yu!"
Lord Yu was calm and said, "We all received the Queen Mother's order together, so we are all responsible. I will not take all the credit for this."
"You!" The Lord was so angry that he flicked his sleeves and turned away.
The other two officials quickly stepped out to smooth things over.
And I came up with a brilliant idea.
His eyes glanced towards the seat where the royal princess was sitting, covered in tulle.
The Queen Mother's favorite Second Princess was there. Wouldn't it be enough for them to ask for instructions from the Princess?
No matter which conclusion the princess supports, even if the queen mother blames them, it will not hurt the court officials too much.
So he turned to the direction of Qian Jingshu and the others, "Second Princess, such an unexpected incident happened on the field. I am unable to make up my mind for the moment. I wonder what you think, Second Princess?"
This court official threw this hot potato over to her. Qian Xueqing didn't bother to scold these court officials as shameless old foxes, and immediately looked at Qian Jingshu nervously.
The people below also looked over here.
Through the thin gauze curtain, Qian Jingshu smiled slightly, and asked with a puzzled look, "Isn't it that whoever lands first in this competition will lose?"
That is, Her Royal Highness the Second Princess thinks Murong Jiu won!
"Your Highness, the Second Princess is right. It is us old ministers who are confused. We, the old ministers, will announce this now!"
He turned to face Baili Feiyue and the people below.
"After we have unanimously compared the rules of the competition and confirmed, Murong Jiu's victory in this competition is valid! Murong Jiu advances!"
There was a sudden cheer from below.
Baili Feiyue jumped down lightly from the stands and walked straight towards Changsun Wuji.
Of course, the eyes of the people around her followed her all the way.
However, before she could say anything as she approached, one of the officials in charge of the competition came over in person.
"Mr. Murong, like the other men who won this round of competition, please follow the person we have arranged to go to Xuanyu Courtyard and wait for the summons from Her Majesty the Empress and the Queen Mother tomorrow."
Those in the last round can directly enter the palace to accompany the emperor.
Therefore, all the announcements were made by these officials themselves.
Baili Feiyue looked at Zhangsun Wuji and opened her mouth, "I'll go by myself later. I want to talk to my...brother first."
"Then please let Master Murong speak here."
Baili Feiyue frowned slightly. What this means is... the winner has to be seen immediately?
He said calmly, "It's not a big deal, we can talk about it later."
Having said that, his eyes still wandered towards Changsun Wuji.
She snorted at the man inaudibly, then said to the official, "Let's go."
As soon as she turned around, she heard the damn man chuckle softly. Even though he was wearing a sachet to cover up and suppress the fragrance on his body, when he walked towards her from behind, Baili Feiyue's powerful nose could still smell a very familiar and charming fragrance.
She turned around unhappily, "What? I'm leaving, aren't you happy, brother?"
The word "brother" made me feel so angry.
Her angry and calm eyes fell into the man's deep and deep eyes. The smile in the man's eyes almost blossomed with a kind of enchantment that burned people's eyes.
He gently placed his palm on her head, "Jiu'er, it's so sore."
Baili Feiyue snorted very clearly this time for him to see and hear, "See you later! No need to see me off!"
After he finished speaking, he walked away first, and the official who led the way immediately followed him.
Those present who didn't understand the situation were completely confused.
These two brothers are brothers, right?
What does it mean?
I didn't think about it in terms of gender at all. After all, between brothers who have a good relationship, slightly intimate actions and words are common.
Considering the behavior of Baili Feiyue and Changsun Wuji just now, it is not unusual for them to be brothers with deep feelings.
It's like, something's not right...
Of course, Murong Jiu and the head of Canglan Sect were not the last pair to compete in this match. They were in the middle and back positions. There were still several pairs waiting to compete.
The scene soon became filled with cheers for that or that again.
When the battle became fierce again, few people noticed that Qian Jingshu stood up and left behind the seat of the royal princess.
Changsun Wuji, Mu Wen, Mu Wu and others, who were still being watched by many people in the venue, turned around and left without continuing to watch.
But after Changsun Wuji and others left, those officials reached a consensus for the first time and exchanged glances silently.
Then someone told the people around him, "Go check on this brother Murong Jiu, Master Murong."
"yes."
