So, the Lezhou team arrived at the palace in embarrassment.
It has to be said that an empire is an empire, and the luxury and spaciousness of the palace are simply beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
At least, Yang Lan'er was quite surprised in her heart. The ruins of the imperial palace in modern society were not at all so shocking and spectacular.
Moreover, Yang Lan'er noticed that many patterns on the palaces seemed to contain certain runes, which could definitely activate attacks or defenses.
What's more, the layout of this palace seems to have the shadow of a formation, which is indeed extraordinary.
Of course, it only looks spectacular and beautiful from the outside, but it does not reveal its lethality.
The organizers don't have strict regulations on the participants from various countries. There are only ten people, so they can send whomever they want. There is no prior confirmation, so temporary substitutions are common.
Of course, you cannot change it after the game has started.
There are no other restrictions either. Even if there are less than ten people, it doesn’t matter. The competitors will only be happier.
Therefore, it doesn’t matter at all even if Yuan Lianxiao doesn’t come to participate.
The empire's reception was held in the state banquet hall, and it wasn't just the announcement of the rules, there were also fine wines and delicious food, singing and dancing performances. It really felt like a special opening ceremony.
Yang Lan'er got her seat and looked at the exquisite dishes in front of her. She suddenly felt a little hungry. No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that she could skip breakfast and have something better...
After tasting a piece, Yang Lan'er narrowed her eyes. It was actually monster meat. Even if it was fed, it was still high-quality enough.
The more you get in touch with it, the more you can feel the strength of the empire. It is really difficult for the dynasty to complete the upgrade.
As for people, it's the same in all societies. There is no absolute fairness.
It’s just like the monster society. These monsters that are raised as poultry may not even have basic attack power, but they are born monsters.
Whether it was the eagle snake or the blue octopus that Yang Lan'er had killed, they all evolved through their own breakthroughs. The process was extremely difficult, and some would even be stuck at the threshold for their entire lives. This was very unfair.
"The empire is indeed generous." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could not help but sigh. He took a sip of the Qingxi wine in the glass and felt the internal force in his body churning, which seemed to be on the rise.
This kind of wine is extremely beneficial to warriors. There is only one bottle of it a year in the Qianxiang Dynasty, and very few people can taste it.
But the Tenglong Empire was used to entertain guests? How many people were there in the whole venue?
Well, there are a total of 198 forces, big and small, participating in the competition from the empire this time, which means there are 1,980 people. At the same time, the empire itself has 200 people, which adds up to 2,180.
Then add in the team leaders of each country, some people who can also sit at the table, as well as the officials of the empire and prominent figures. In total, there are no less than three thousand people who can sit at the table.
With an unlimited supply of Qingxi wine, Qian Ke suddenly felt that Dynasty’s treasure was ridiculous.
Qian Ke remained silent as he stared blankly at the enchanting dance of the beautiful woman in the arena and realized that it was really too obvious.
"No way, Your Highness, so you like this?" Yang Lan'er said playfully. Of course, she saw why Qian Ke was in a daze, but she was just joking with him so that Your Highness would pay attention and avoid making a fool of himself.
"..." Qian Ke frowned: "It's just a vase."
"What's wrong with a vase? There may be millions of silver in a vase. It's good to feast your eyes!" Yang Lan'er spread her hands and said jokingly.
Although everyone had a separate table, Yang Lan'er was the number one in Lezhou City, so she was closest to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and they were in a row, so she didn't have to speak too loudly for him to hear clearly.
"...You'd better listen to the rules carefully!" Qian Ke was embarrassed and reminded quickly that he must not argue with Yang Lan'er, as he had a psychological trauma.
"Hasn't the rules been introduced yet? They're just introducing the people from that sect." Yang Lan'er looked at it disapprovingly. The representative of the Shenxue Sect was indeed Nangong Wuhua, and there were others.
There are also several people from other sects, so it feels quite lively.
However, that kind of arrogance and self-satisfaction made Yang Lan'er lose all favor towards him.
Of course, the sense of superiority brought by this identity is indeed their capital. Yang Lan'er is just undecided about their favorable impression of them, and she doesn't have any other bad feelings or dislike for them. She is really used to it and there is nothing to complain about.
Moreover, this sense of superiority varies from person to person. When some small sects face large sects, their expressions are very respectful. However, they will be unconsciously arrogant towards ordinary people, and sometimes they are not even aware of it.
After the introduction, everyone's eyes naturally turned green. At this point, they had heard more or less some of the secrets they should know.
Entering a sect and achieving immortality is the dream of all those who learn martial arts to this point.
Those who can enter the top ten of each major force must be the favored ones who are the focus of attention in various places. But now, they look at the young people at the top with great envy.
No matter what their qualifications are, or what other capital they have, they started earlier than everyone else.
Yang Lan'er is a family member and knows her own affairs. There are some things she cannot expose, but there is nothing to envy. What she has is already enough.
Now that she has a qualified friend who can help her look up information for entering the sect, Yang Lan'er says she no longer has the anxiety she once had.
At this moment, Yang Lan'er was eating meat but not drinking wine, and was having a great time.
Seeing that the Crown Prince liked it very much, Yang Lan'er offered her own pot of wine and said, "Your Highness, drink less, otherwise you will wake up tomorrow morning and find a beautiful woman lying next to you, which will ruin your reputation!"
"..." Qian Ke actually wanted to return the pot of wine and let her keep her word! In this regard, Yang Lan'er just said it, not worried at all. She was accused of being very self-disciplined. It was just that someone in the team was keeping a close eye on her and insisted on following her tonight, which almost made Qian Ke angry.
Fortunately, when Song Yun was making a fuss, Prince Huai was watching from the side. Seeing that the Crown Prince was really about to get angry, he stopped Song Yun's behavior, without hiding his ulterior motives at all.
Normally, as long as it doesn't touch the bottom line, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince won't bother to argue about it, because his plan will never work anyway.
His father, the current emperor of the Qianxiang Dynasty, had suffered at the hands of the women of the Song family. How could he let his son marry such a troublesome woman?
But the people of the Song family couldn't see clearly and felt that as long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince liked it, the Emperor couldn't stop it.
However, they didn't think about it. Besides her face, what else can Song Yun show? Yang Lan'er thought that if Song Yun had always been in Lezhou City and been a hardworking genius girl, she might have achieved something. But she suddenly changed her style and wanted to be dependent. Does she have enough capital? Song Yun was indeed a beauty in Lezhou City, and perhaps she could be considered a beauty in the capital, but in the capital of the empire, she became not so good.
