Su Luo used one hand to prop up her chin, also expressing her doubts.
Grandmaster Rong Yun was accustomed to being indifferent. His methods of doing things were enigmatic and impossible to predict. No matter how much people pondered, they really were unable to understand.
However, she always felt that Grandmaster Rong Yun, being that sort of wise and farsighted person, should have been able to see Li Yaoyaoâs true colours. If this was the case, then, why did he still side with her?
The more Su Luo thought about it, the more her head hurt.
âForget it, itâs just the first exam question. Losing is fine, consider it a loss. There are still opportunities after this.â Su Luo spread out her hands.
âIf youâve already lost the first round, then it will be very hard to win it back later.â Beichen Yingâs gaze was gentle and soft like water. He stood up and rubbed Su Luoâs head.
This sort of intimate action was something only Nangong would do. So, momentarily, Su Luo had a somewhat blank expression.
Just at this moment of being distracted, Beichen Ying had already walked far away.
âThis child, how can he just randomly rub someoneâs head.â Su Luo grumbled a line of complaint, without actually thinking too deeply about it.
During these ten days, Su Luo did not actually stay idle.
Aside from refining drugs in her space, the rest of her time was spent staring at the Amethyst Crystal Fish.
Additionally, she kept telling the little divine dragon repeatedly that he must not be gluttonous and eat it on the sly.
The little divine dragon also understood the seriousness of the matter, and his little head nodded solemnly. The several days after, he did not even go play the water sports he loved the most. His small body just laid on his stomach in front of the Amethyst Crystal Fish.
Two large limpid eyes, with clearly distinct black and white sections, stared fixedly at the Amethyst Crystal Fish without blinking.
However, even if it was like this, the Amethyst Crystal Fish was still very disappointing.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Until the last day, the Amethyst Crystal fish still had not spit out that purple-colored crystal stone that Su Luo had wanted the most.
Su Luo let out a sigh, there was no other way...
Even though she was not able to obtain the purple-colored crystal stone, Su Luo still got up really early in the morning. After freshening up and dressing, she looked like a completely new person. Like this, she went towards the throne room.
In the throne room, there were less civil and military officials this time, yet, there were more of Jade Lakeâs Li familyâs people.
Li Yaoxiang, Li Aoqiong, were all present.
Jade Lakeâs fairy had a smile in her eyes. She cast a glance at Su Luo with that smile that was not a smile.
One must know yourself and know your enemy. Only then can you come out unscathed through a hundred battles (1) . The Jade Lakeâs Li family naturally had taken notice of the activity on Su Luoâs side all along.
Who told her to be the only finalist that passed to fight with the Jade Lakeâs fairy for the position?
The news that the Jade Lakeâs Li family asked around and got was that there was no movements in Su Manor, only Beichen Ying was outside, busily running around.
Moreover, it was a pity that every time, he would return disappointed.
Grandmaster Rong Yun sat at a high place. Todayâs him was still dressed in a soft, white robe. Aristocratic and graceful, his pitch-black, ink-colored eyes carried a kind of deeply hidden sharpness in the midst of seemingly being empty and misty.
Apothecary Leng stood on the steps and with a loud voice, said:
âTen daysâ time is already over. Now, present the items with both hands.â
When he spoke, Apothecary Leng swept a worried gaze over Su Luoâs face.
The news in the entire imperial capital was usually thorough. All of Su Manorâs activities were observed by everyone.
At this time, almost everyone didnât have any hope placed on Su Luo.
However, thinking about it, it also made sense. One was Jade Lakeâs Li familyâs little princess. The other was the very small Su Manorâs unfavoured daughter birthed by a concubine.
This sort of matter that involved oneâs background, family property and connections, how could Su Luo possibly win?
Also, it was a purple-colored crystal stone, how could she possibly bring one out?
The corner of Jade lakeâs fairyâs contained the traces of a slight smile. She placed a red silk bag on the tray and took a step back.
After standing firmly back in her place, she used a provocative gaze to sweep towards Su Luo.
However, Su Luo, at that moment, stood there motionless.
Su Luoâs peculiarity drew in everyoneâs attention.
What was this, Su Manorâs unfavoured daughter birthed by a concubine, waiting for? It seemed as if she was trying to stall for time.
However...
Everyone could not understand.
If this was any other matter, then fine. However, with this purple-colored crystal stone, even if she stalled for time, if she could not bring it out, then she simply could not bring it out.
In the end, what exactly was she waiting for? Could it be that she would wait and wait, allowing her to wait until it arrived?
1) One must know yourself and know your enemy. Only then can you come out unscathed through a hundred battles: This was from Suziâs book of the Art of War, a famous book written in 776- 471 BC on strategies of war.
