On the competition stage, Liu Chenyi already drew back his elegant smile, and his gentle eyes contained a trace of fox-like cunning.
“Miss Yun, you are quite deeply in love with your husband, but you’ve misunderstood my meaning. I don’t have any improper motives toward you.” Liu Chenyi slowly walked to the front of Yun Luofeng, his thin lips near her ear. He used a voice that only the two of them could hear to say, “Of course, if you are willing to be my woman, then I am willing to go easy on you in the competition later. How about it?”
Yun Luofeng slightly narrowed her eyes, the smile on her lips remarkably evil. “Go easy on me? I’m afraid… you don’t have the capability!”
“Hoho.” Liu Chenyi chuckled. “It looks like Miss Yun thinks she will certainly win this competition. I greatly anticipate the scene of you winning against me then.”
He particularly raised his volume when speaking those words, so that the people around them heard him.
“What? Yun Luofeng actually dares to be this arrogant? So confident that she thinks she can win against Young Master Liu? She shouldn’t think that merely raising a servant girl like Zhong Ling’er is enough for her to become conceited. If Zhong Ling’er competed with Young Master Liu, she would most assuredly lose without a doubt!”
“She truly thinks too highly of her abilities!”
How could the women who adore Liu Chenyi watch their dream lover be bullied without doing anything? They all stood up, and everyone’s expression would make someone unaware of the truth think that Yun Luofeng had killed their whole family!
Obtaining the result that he wanted, Liu Chenyi’s smile deepened. He boastfully glanced at Yun Luofeng and kindly spoke, “Miss Yun, let’s start then. I look forward to you winning against me.”
At this time, a eunuch already placed down the medicinal herbs one by one.
Seeing the herbs in front of them, Liu Chenyi smiled again. “Also, I would like to increase the difficulty of the competition this time. Will Your Majesty permit it?”
“There’s no harm saying it.” Long Yuan said with a smile and a raise of his hand.
Liu Chenyi’s eyes flickered. “I suggest that Miss Yun and I not only have to write down the effects but also have to arrange the herbs on the table into a prescription, and there must be at least three prescriptions!”
Writing the effects of the herbs was already extremely difficult, but arranging these herbs into a prescription was even more difficult.
Praise flashed through Long Yuan’s eyes, and he nodded. “Zhen permits it.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty,” Liu Chenyi cupped his fists and looked at Yun Luofeng with a faint smile. “Miss Yun, since you were so confident about your strength earlier, do you dare to accept my suggestion now?”
Yun Luofeng raised her brows. “Why wouldn’t I dare? There is nothing in this world that I don’t dare to do.”
“Haha,” Liu Chenyi loudly laughed. “Miss Yun is unlike other women, as expected. You truly make me immensely respectful of you. I hope you will still have the courage to say something like this in a moment.”
Liu Chenyi flicked his robe and walked to his seat. He was quite talented indeed, but that was only relative to the Lanxiang Kingdom. He could not compare with the prodigies of the other kingdoms ranked near the front. Even the prodigies from the other kingdoms did not dare to suggest this condition, so how could he have the courage?
The reason was very simple. It was because the Noble Consort of the Tianhui Empire was a princess of the Lanxiang Kingdom. Moreover, the Noble Consort requested him to give Yun Luofeng a hard time.
