Chapter 476

Lin Feilu snorted, "It's all Senior Brother's fault for being so strong, making me feel unconfident all the time!"

He smiled and kissed her forehead, "Mmhm, it's all my fault."

She threw herself into his arms and was happy, but she didn't realise that all the people around who wanted to approach and strike up a conversation with her were scared away by Song Jinglan's sinister gaze.

With so many matches today, Lin Feilu had a great time playing. She didn't lose her excitement even when they returned to the palace. She was proven wrong— going outside the palace was still very fun! It would be even more fun if there were more group arena matches like this.

She didn't know if God had heard her wishes because a few days later, she encountered another arena match when she went out with Song Jinglan whilst cross-dressing once again.

Though, the event was slightly different from the last one as this required participants to register beforehand before joining the fights. After the registration, participants would be randomly matched with opponents by drawing lots. The winners of each match would continue to move forward in the competition until one final winner remained.

This competition system and specifications were more complicated, but that meant that the corresponding prizes were also better.

Still from Hidden Sword Villa, the prize this time was an unbeatable hidden weapon known as Thousand Needles. There was a rumour circulating in the martial world that once the Thousand Needles appeared, someone was sure to die. Hence, it was known for its superior reputation.

Lin Feilu couldn't wait any longer and she ran to register her name for the competition.

She was worried that she would not be able to win the competition, so she encouraged Song Jinglan to join her as well. Naturally, she was going to put up layers of 'insurance' just in case.

In the end, Song Jinglan asked her with a smile, "If you and I were to fight in the end, would you like me to give in or no?"

She didn't want him to give in because it would ruin his reputation in front of so many.

But if he didn't give in, she didn't want to bring shame to Master Ji Liang's good name.

Therefore, she had to give up on the idea of insurance.

This time, the event was more complicated since it was divided into three days. Registrations would take place on the first day, the first round commenced on the second day before the finals took place on the final day.

So Lin Feilu went out of the palace for three consecutive days and brought Songyu, Tingchun and Shixia with her during the period.

After all, she couldn't just let them see her being bullied by the Emperor all the time; she had to let them see how their Empress was beating up other people as well!

She won the first round with almost no effort. Since winning the previous arena match a while back, some people already recognised her. When discussing the lineups of the finals, everyone had already dubbed her as 'Ji Liang's disciple'.

Lin Feilu listened to the rumours around her and thought that this was probably the meaning of being a so-called seeded player.

However, the intensity of this competition was much higher than that of the last one. Lin Feilu actually had to grit her teeth and battle her way through towards the end of the competition. After all, she had little combat experience.

However, relying on a named Master and peerless swordsmanship, she won the first place in the finals without any risk and successfully obtained a hidden weapon— Thousand Needles.
