After asking them to stand up, the king said some polite words, which was no different from when they were in Shengyuan Kingdom.
Duan Qingxi looked carefully among the princes, and finally found the Nine Saints wearing masks.
Humph, you're still wearing a mask at a time like this, pretending to be cool!
But thinking about it carefully, it seems that Helian Sheng also likes wearing masks. Even after marrying her, he still likes wearing masks. I don’t know why...
With so many similarities, Duan Qingxi became more and more suspicious that they were the same person!
The Lord was talking to everyone, but Duan Qingxi didn't pay attention. He just stared at Jiusheng, trying to see if he would reveal any clues.
Jiu Sheng naturally noticed Duan Qingxi's gaze, but he didn't mind and even enjoyed it.
Duan Qingxi didn't know what he was thinking, but was secretly communicating with Xiaodai in his heart.
"Xiao Dai, what do you think are the chances of us unmasking him?"
Xiao Dai replied, "10%, and even if he takes off the mask, what will happen? Didn't you say he can change his appearance? What if he changes his appearance and wears a mask again?"
Duan Qingxi: ...Is there, is there anyone so perverted?
She felt that even if Helian Sheng was a pervert, he wouldn't be like this, but then she thought, what if he was really that perverted?
Therefore, she didn't dare to speak anymore.
After coming back to his senses, Duan Qingxi just heard the Lord speak, "This Lord has always wanted to find princesses for the princes, and it just so happens that there are so many beautiful women now. This Miss Yun, seeing you staring at Xiaojiu like this, could it be that you are interested in our Xiaojiu? How about this Lord acting as a matchmaker and giving you to Xiaojiu?"
Duan Qingxi: ...
What happened? What is going on?
Everyone's eyes were on Duan Qingxi. Some were blessing her, some were envious, but most were jealous...
"Le'er, hurry up and answer!"
After Yun Shen whispered a reminder, Duan Qingxi quickly stood up and said, "In reply to your Majesty, I... I'm afraid I'm not worthy of His Majesty the Ninth Prince!"
Hearing this, the monarch was a little surprised, and then glanced at the Ninth Prince who was sitting not far away.
Jiusheng didn't expect Duan Qingxi to refuse!
He felt a little lost, but also a little happy.
After all, in his opinion, Duan Qingxi might not know his true identity yet, and it was just a guess that day. His refusal now might be because he thought that the Ninth Prince was not him.
After thinking about this, he felt much happier.
The Lord said "Oh" and asked, "You don't like His Highness the Ninth Prince?"
Upon hearing this, the way others looked at Duan Qingxi began to change.
He didn't want her to look down on the Ninth Prince, but he was also afraid that she would look up to him. This feeling was really complicated.
Duan Qingxi also had a desire to survive. She said, "I just want to be with the one I love, but I don't know His Majesty the Ninth Prince. I don't know if he's the one I can spend my life with. So... I don't dare to agree to this marriage. I'm worried that His Majesty the Ninth Prince will be embarrassed."
The Lord laughed twice, then looked at Jiu Sheng and asked, "What do you think, Xiao Jiu?"
The Ninth Saint naturally didn't say anything, but he stared at Duan Qingxi.
The atmosphere began to become awkward. Duan Qingxi saw this and had no choice but to continue, "Your Majesty, how about letting His Majesty the Ninth Prince compete with me? If His Majesty wins, I will marry him. But if His Majesty loses, I will have the right to decide my own marriage. How do you do that?"
When Yun Shen heard this, his brows furrowed deeply.
How could Duan Qingxi be a match for His Majesty the Ninth Prince?!
But after thinking about it, I felt that this was the best way. I couldn't just reject the marriage proposal directly, and I didn't know what the Ninth Prince meant.
If the Ninth Prince is unwilling to marry Duan Qingxi, he can just defeat her. But if the Ninth Prince likes Duan Qingxi, he can deliberately lose to her. Duan Qingxi will surely have no excuse to refuse.
In Yun Shen's opinion, this marriage was a great one, and he was naturally happy to see it happen.
The Lord did not immediately respond to Duan Qingxi's words. Instead, he glanced at Jiusheng and, seeing that he did not refuse, said, "Well, then, I'll listen to you."
Xiao Dai asked in confusion, "Why do you want to compete with His Majesty the Ninth Prince? Are you sure you can beat him?"
Duan Qingxi said, "I'm not sure, but I have to give it a try. Even if I lose, I have other reasons to reject him. However, you have to cooperate with me later..."
Xiaodai said "Oh" when he heard this.
The competition was held outside. Duan Qingxi changed into a red suit, tied her hair into a high ponytail, and held the bamboo sword in her hand.
With Xiaodai's explanation, Duan Qingxi understood that this bamboo was called the Ten Thousand Year Immortal Bamboo. It was extremely hard and even the most powerful weapon in the world could not cut it.
