C38 Freshman selection

Yue Liusu followed behind them as they slowly headed towards the palace. When they were entering the palace, someone from the Academy asked her if she wanted to join the competition, and since she answered yes, she was given a number plate.

Only after Yue Liusu entered the palace did she pick up the number plate in her hand. It was actually 791, God, she was waiting until the end of the line.

Although the guards of the imperial palace were strict today, there were no restrictions for the servants and maids. On the arena, there were some people who could bring their masters away to treat their injuries, and that was the reason why Yi Meng was able to come in with Yue Liusu.

As for why the location of the competition was in the Imperial Palace, it was because the Profound Sky Academy had a rather high status in the Imperial City, and even more of it was a matter of fairness.

Yue Liusu kept the number plate back into the space and followed the crowd towards the imperial hunting grounds. There, there was a competition grounds that could accommodate a thousand people, which had been specially constructed by the imperial family for Profound Sky Academy.

Not far in front of her, the young ladies of the high ranking officials dressed in colorful clothing were heading towards the hunting grounds, laughing and joking. Today was a good opportunity for them to marry their beloved husband.

They quickly arrived at the hunting grounds. Yue Liusu found a corner to stand at. From her point of view, the place she was at was definitely the best.

"Miss ?" Yi Meng followed behind Yue Liusu for a long while, holding back his mouth, he was almost swept away by the crowd, unable to bear it anymore as he squeezed to Yue Liusu's side, his clothes were all messed up.

"Eh?" Yue Liusu tilted his head slightly, and saw the battered Yi Meng tugging at her skirt, afraid that he would lose it.

"Good girl, if you feel that it's not fun, then go back first. I'll be going back very soon." Yue Liusu laughed, it could be said that she doted on Yi Meng to her heart's content.

"Miss, if this servant doesn't want to return, this servant will follow by your side." Yi Meng pulled Yue Liusu's hand. Of course, the reason she didn't go back was because she was afraid that Yue Liusu would act recklessly.

Initially, she thought Yue Liusu was just there to join in on the fun, but she actually came for real.

"Mhmm, then stand obediently by my side and don't run around. With this many people here, what would happen if they were to meet a trafficker?" Actually, Yue Liusu was only scaring her.

"Ah?" "Young mistress' servant is worthless ?" Once she said that, Yi Meng was so excited that she was about to cry.

"Alright, alright, I'm just scaring you." Yue Liusu stopped them in time. Although Yi Meng was timid, he could not take more than a few shocks.

But even so, Yi Meng still insisted on not letting go. Yue Liusu shook his head helplessly, this little girl was too timid.

In just an hour, the entire arena, which was filled with a thousand people, was filled with people. Only the seat at the front row was empty, Yue Liusu reckoned that it was where the person in charge of the Profound Sky Academy was sitting at, and on the left side, was where the emperor was sitting.

How could the Emperor not come for this banquet?

Xi Suo Suo's voice resonated throughout the competition. With two hundred slots, this new generation of youths was about to push their way in.

Yue Liusu currently did not know the strength of these people, so she was not very confident in being able to steal from the two hundred places, even if she had to steal it, it would not be possible for her to watch people register and use her number plate to wash her face on the day she entered the Academy.

This time, he could only rely on his own strength.

Very quickly, a row of clan elders from Profound Sky Academy took their seats, because the distance was too far, Yue Liusu could not see the person's appearance clearly. In a short moment, the Emperor arrived, and this time, he also brought an enchanting concubine with him.

Indeed, Qi Yueling had also come, and that was not all, she actually saw Yue Linger's figure, it could be seen that she was dressed extravagantly, as though she wanted to dance with him.

The entire Imperial City knew that on the day that Yue Liusu was rejected by the crown prince for his marriage, he had hired his daughter, Yue Linger. The grand marriage was set to be held at the end of the month, the day that Yue Linger would turn green.

Yue Liusu felt pity for Yue Linger. At such an age, he would already be tied up because of a crown prince, if he met someone he liked more in the future, wouldn't that mean he wanted to cry?

She wouldn't be confused, she would think about marrying when she found someone who loved her to the death. At that time, she wouldn't be like Yue Linger, who would think of all the ways to steal everything that belonged to her just because her former fianc? was the crown prince.

It didn't matter, she would let Yue Linger know that Qi Yueling was someone that she didn't want and that she didn't take away.

"Miss, what are you laughing about?" At the side, Yi Meng asked curiously.

"I'm fine." Yue Liusu retracted the smile on her lips. She would not admit it, but just now, she had accidentally thought of Shen Jueming.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

His voice resounded throughout the entire competition grounds, but Yue Liusu was only putting on an act, he did not actually kneel.

"Rise!"

"Thank you!"

Tsk tsk, Yue Liusu stood up, but his line of sight was still the same as before, completely seeing the situation on the stage ahead.

The First Prince, the Third Prince, and Qi Yueling were sitting on the right side, with Yue Linger sitting right next to him. It could be seen that the moment Yue Linger moved, his gold jadeite made a jingling sound, and she could hear it clearly from such a distance.

Silly or stupid?

She did not know what the emperor was talking about in front of them, but Yue Liusu only saw them talking with their mouths wide open.

The singing went on and on, and an hour passed.

The sun was scorching hot on top of her head. Fortunately, she was standing in a good position, so she wouldn't be sitting in the middle and basking in the sun.

In the end, she had welcomed the competition on the stage, and it could be seen that the top two hundred spots were right in front of the Profound Sky Academy elders, on the side of the stage.

She was definitely going to enter the top two hundred. Due to the special relationship between the imperial family and Profound Sky Academy, she would belong to the Profound Sky Academy's student once she obtained the tablet. Only then would she truly have a status in the Yue Mansion.

Even if she fell out with Yue Cheng, she still had a place to stay. Because of the Profound Sky Academy, Yue Cheng could not do anything to her.

It was the most compromising thing she could think of at the moment.

The rules were simple, the people on the stage called out their numbers in sequence, and gave the number called out to the Profound Sky Academy elder before going up to fight. The one who won would receive a new plate, and after that, a new pair of people would begin to fight.

This was the day of the competition until all the numbers were released today.

The second day's competition was a competition where those who had obtained their number plates would be randomly chosen by the elders to participate in the competition, just like how those Elders randomly chose lovebirds would.

Only until there were only two hundred students left would they register their names on the new students' admission slip.

Therefore, Yue Liusu's chances were still very high, as long as he could make it past the two hundredth position.
