#107 - Chapter 107: You don't accept it? You think my prince is just a decoration? Something ha
Jiang Yong was completely dumbfounded, standing there for a long time, unable to recover.
"Jiang Ping... she's a waste, wasn't she eliminated?"
"Why is she on the promotion list? Is it just a name coincidence?"
At this moment, the chief examiner, Zhang Fengfu, asked all the promoted individuals to step forward.
Only then did Jiang Yong confirm that Jiang Ping, that waste, had really been promoted!
"Lord Zhang, wasn't Jiang Ping eliminated? How is she promoted with us?"
He stepped forward directly to question.
He was a member of the royal family's side branch and didn't fear Zhang Fengfu.
Zhang Fengfu said calmly, "Jiang Ping was personally selected by someone to directly enter the finals."
"Moreover, she's not taking up your slots, so what's there to be dissatisfied about?"
In the Great Xia Imperial Star, the first round of preliminary selection had one hundred promotion slots.
Therefore, there were one hundred and one people on the promotion list.
"I'm not convinced!"
"The Heavenly Pride Battle is a matter of the court selecting talent, the foundation of the nation. How can we tolerate you cheating and using backdoor connections?"
Out of jealousy, Jiang Yong's voice of opposition was very strong.
The others who hadn't been promoted also looked very angry.
After all, why should Jiang Ping, who was eliminated, be able to directly enter the finals?
Didn't they have a chance?
Entering the finals, even if the final score was the last place,
They would receive considerable resource rewards.
Therefore, many people were desperately trying to get into the finals.
"The court has laws and regulations, even princes don't have the qualifications to interfere in the Heavenly Pride Battle."
"The matter of using backdoor connections is even more absurd and a great insult to us."
They opposed one by one, shouting.
This made Zhang Fengfu frown.
At this time, Jiang Luo walked out.
"Greetings, Prince Luo." Zhang Fengfu quickly saluted.
"Prince Luo?"
"His Highness actually came here!"
"Could it be... he knows someone is using backdoor connections, can't stand it, and wants to stop it?"
Everyone was shocked.
They also knelt down and saluted.
"Your Highness Prince Luo, you must stand up for us."
"Someone used backdoor connections to directly promote someone who should have been eliminated to the finals."
Jiang Yong quickly shouted.
He must show himself to be brave, show himself to be firm and unyielding, and fully maintain the laws of Great Xia.
Maybe he could leave a good impression on Prince Luo.
Once he was favored by His Highness, it could mean an opportunity to soar into the sky.
Jiang Luo said lightly, "Jiang Ping is a seed player personally selected by this prince to directly enter the finals."
"Ah?" Everyone was dumbfounded.
Jiang Ping's backdoor entry was actually Prince Luo's intention.
"Your Highness, I've known Jiang Ping since I was a child, she's a well-known waste in the surrounding villages."
"She's simply not qualified to be promoted."
Jiang Yong was anxious and quickly said.
"This prince personally presides over this Heavenly Pride Battle and believes that Jiang Ping has that potential. So I'm giving her a chance," Jiang Luo replied.
"Prince Luo, the Great Xia Imperial Star has had one hundred promotion slots for tens of thousands of years."
"Even if you are a prince, you can't arbitrarily tamper with it, right? This is something that has never happened before."
The strong jealousy in Jiang Yong's heart made him lose his mind.
He dared to publicly question a prince.
"Oh, right, very coincidentally, Jiang Yong, right?"
"You just happen to be the hundredth person. This prince announces that you have lost your promotion slot."
"This way, there are exactly one hundred promotion slots."
Jiang Luo said indifferently,
"Ah?"
Jiang Yong was completely dumbfounded.
He lost his slot?
"Your Highness, I'm not convinced!" He quickly shouted.
"Not convinced? You can just bear it for this prince." Jiang Luo snorted coldly.
Then, he left with Jiang Ping.
I spoke nicely to you, but you didn't listen.
Did you really think this prince was just for show?
...
Soon, the news of Prince Luo helping someone use backdoor connections spread throughout the imperial capital.
"Jiang Ping, from Qingyang Town, a well-known waste in the surrounding villages, why would Prince Luo help her use backdoor connections?"
"This woman is very beautiful, maybe His Highness has taken a fancy to her beauty."
"Hmph, I didn't expect Prince Luo to be such a lecherous person."
"Since the founding of Great Xia, no one has ever used backdoor connections in the Heavenly Pride Battle."
"Prince Luo has set this precedent, using the fate of Great Xia to please a beauty, truly lecherous and fatuous."
Many people became angry.
"Prince Luo said that he believed Jiang Ping had this potential, so he gave her a chance."
"Hmph, her? I don't believe that a waste can really stand out in the finals within half a year."
"I heard that this Heavenly Pride Battle is hosted by Prince Luo, maybe he will also help Jiang Ping operate in the dark during the finals and get a good ranking..."
Many people were very disgusted with Prince Luo's actions on this matter.
The purpose of the Heavenly Pride Battle is to select talents and give ordinary people a chance to rise above others.
Jiang Ping's promotion through backdoor connections would occupy a slot.
At that time, one person would lose the opportunity to rise above others and glorify their ancestors, directly affecting the fate of a family.
Jiang Ping also heard about the rumors outside.
She felt a lot of psychological pressure.
She said very guiltily; "Your Highness, I'm sorry, it's because I definitely wanted to prove myself that I made you bear such great public opinion pressure."
She was extremely moved in her heart.
His Highness was really too kind to her.
Even at the cost of being criticized.
Jiang Luo smiled slightly, "You only need to shine in the finals, and the criticisms against this prince will be self-defeating."
"Yeah." Jiang Ping nodded with a solemn expression.
She secretly vowed in her heart that she must not let down His Highness's wishes.
In the days that followed, Jiang Luo personally guided Jiang Ping in her cultivation.
In the process of this getting along, gradually, Jiang Ping's feelings for Jiang Luo deepened.
She cultivated even harder.
She must be worthy of His Highness.
Relying on the powerful talent of the Desolate Ancient Holy Body.
She only took ten days to break through to the Pill Cauldron Realm.
And, condensed the Desolate Ancient Divine Cauldron, her combat power was extremely abnormal.
Ordinary Celestial Human cultivators were simply not her opponents.
"It seems I'm going to have another younger sister."
"His Highness is too strong, I alone can't serve him comfortably. With one more younger sister, the pressure will be much easier in the future."
Seeing this scene, Lu Ziyan smiled happily.
She knew very well in her heart that if the Young Master had no interest in Jiang Ping, it would be impossible for him to personally guide and help her.
...
This day, Lu Ziyan came to report to Jiang Luo.
The tax revenue from the fiefdom, Luo Tian Realm, was robbed on the way to the Imperial Star this year.
All the guards were sacrificed.
Generally, princes would not care too much about this loss.
At the same time, they also looked down on those few dates and jujubes.
How could they waste their cultivation time to personally handle this matter?
They would just send some people to investigate and would not ask too much.
However, they encountered Jiang Luo, a prince who was vindictive and extremely protective.
Those guards were all considered his people.
Being intercepted and killed for no reason, being bullied on his head, he would never ignore it.
"Robbing this prince's things, you will definitely regret it!"
Jiang Luo's eyes turned cold.
Then, he prepared to personally go to Luo Tian Realm to investigate this matter.
If someone disliked him and deliberately robbed his fiefdom's tax revenue.
Then he must kill the chicken to warn the monkey!
