Divine Seal: I am the Demon God Emperor's beloved granddaughter

Chapter 8 Who says there can't be powerful female knights?

"Your smile is so sweet, it melts my heart."

Li Xin was soothed by Bai Xi's smile that she couldn't resist reaching out and gently pinching the soft flesh of Bai Xi's cheek, and she smiled too.

"Why did you decide to become a knight? You're so cute, I'm afraid you'll be bullied. How come your elders are willing to let you become a knight?"

"My family didn't want me to be a knight from the start; they insisted I be a priest or a magician. They said that being a knight and wielding a heavy sword wasn't like a girl's at all, which gave me a headache."

"What can they do? I don't want to! I just want to be a knight, so I became a knight, and to this day I still think that my choice was right."

Li Xin, who was very talkative, spoke for a long time before finally stopping.

Bai Xi was in a good mood and answered her questions one by one.

"Chenchen is a knight, and I want to be a knight like him."

This is probably the kind of stubbornness that twins have; they easily develop a liking for the same things.

"As for being bullied, sister, it should only be me who bullies others."

“My mom respects our choices and supports them unconditionally. She is the best mom in the world.”

"Haha, that's great, you two siblings will have someone to keep you company."

Because Long Haochen was the older brother, Li Xin was about to ask him to protect Bai Xi, but when she saw Long Haochen's beautiful face, she fell silent for a moment.

These two siblings both look easy to bully.

"Fine, I'll take care of you two from now on."

Just then, the person that Long Haochen and his sister were looking for finally arrived.

Nalan Shu, the master of the Haoyue Branch Hall, is an eight-foot-tall, muscular man who is somewhat large and resembles a large ball.

Li Xin first made a joke about the palace master as usual, and then explained one of the purposes of their visit.

Deliver letters.

"What letter? Let me see it."

It was a letter written by Long Xingyu, and only he and Lord Nalan, who was reading the letter, knew what it contained.

However, judging from the reaction of the Nalan Palace Master when he saw the letter, Long Xingyu was definitely not an ordinary person, which they could all see.

Long Xingyu brought them here for the preliminary knight assessment.

However, Lord Nalan was somewhat surprised when he saw Bai Xi. If it weren't for the special identity of the person who wrote the letter, he would have suspected that they were playing a trick on him.

"You must be Bai Xi, the one Lord Xingyu mentioned. How old are you this year?"

She looks so young, and she's a girl.

If one can pass the prospective knight assessment, are there any additional tests?
"I am Bai Xi, and I am ten years old, just like him."

Bai Xi was already used to Nalan Shu's surprise; she had seen this kind of prejudiced look many times before.

Although she disliked it, she knew that she had no way to change this prejudice at the moment.

"Ten years old?"

Li Xin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise; this person was much younger than she had imagined.

She was a little worried about whether they could pass the test to become prospective knights. If they didn't pass, she wondered how she could comfort them without discouraging them.

"Then let's begin the test. Use your swords to attack this black stone pillar with all your might."

After Nalan Shu finished speaking, as was customary, Long Haochen made the first move.

"133."

This is the number that Long Haochen tested, a number that surprised both Nalan Shu and Li Xin.

"It's actually Tier 2, Level 3. You're late for this test."

Nalan Shu said that a spiritual power of just over 100 would make one a second-tier quasi-knight.

As for Li Xin, she was shocked and devastated by the number.

Could it be that boys really have an insurmountable talent when it comes to riding?

Years ago, at the age of 13, she became the most talented knight of the Bright Moon Palace with a spiritual power of just over 100.

But when Long Haochen arrived, he completely overwhelmed her in every aspect. "Xi Xi, it's your turn."

Suppressing his joy, Long Haochen reminded Bai Xi.

Bai Xi nodded and, imitating Long Haochen, raised her sword and slashed at the stone pillar.

A pale blue halo appeared, revealing a number.

"132."

"it is good!"

As soon as Li Xin saw the number, she cheered loudly.

This drew the attention of all three of them, but she puffed out her chest, her smugness becoming even more apparent.

Of the four, Li Xin was indeed the happiest.

After she chose to become a knight, she endured countless cold stares and ridicule; only she herself knows the hardships she faced.

Now that Li Xin has seen a clearly outstanding Bai Xi, she is overjoyed. She can even see Bai Xi crushing a large group of self-righteous male knights in the future.

She can also feel proud and triumphant; who says there can't be a powerful female knight?

Nalan Shu looked at the numbers on the stone pillar, then at the letter in his hand, and couldn't help but suspect that there was a mistake on it.

"Arrange the knights for them to challenge. Let Long Haochen challenge first. After Long Haochen succeeds, then assign a knight with one level higher spiritual power to Bai Xi to challenge. There is no need to specify the spiritual power level of the knight being challenged before the match."

He couldn't understand what the letter meant.

It's obvious that Long Haochen is stronger, so why let Bai Xi challenge an even stronger knight?

"Could it be that Lord Xingyu dislikes Bai Xi and wants to make things difficult for her, thus hindering her prospective knight assessment?"

"This shouldn't be happening!"

Nalan Shu couldn't understand it.

But at this moment, Long Haochen spoke up, "Does this mean we've passed the preliminary knight assessment?"

"Logically speaking, you have passed."

Nalan Shu came to his senses and said, "When he said that, I knew there was a 'but' coming up."

"However, Lord Xingyu said in his letter that he asked me to arrange for two real knights to challenge you. You must withstand the knights' attacks for more than a quarter of an hour to pass the test."

They clearly didn't have any good intentions.

A quasi-knight challenging a knight—only Long Xingyu could come up with such an arrangement.

"I'll go first. Please make arrangements for the knights."

Long Haochen still planned to arrive first and suggested changing the venue.

"However, let's find a more spacious venue; this place isn't quite right."

This space isn't enough for them to perform well, especially for Bai Xi.

"Alright, let's head to the training grounds. As for the opponent—"

"Me! Me! Me! I happen to be a knight!"

Li Xin excitedly raised her hand, indicating that she wanted to participate.

However, she couldn't bear to harm Bai Xi, so she looked at Long Haochen.

"Brother Haochen, how about we fight?"

Long Haochen nodded. It didn't make much difference to him, and he couldn't very well refuse Li Xin's kindness.

They had all made arrangements, so Nalan Shu couldn't say anything. He led his men towards the training ground and ordered a few knights to follow.

"You need to be mindful of your words."

Before the match, Nalan Shu gave Li Xin some instructions. Although the match was arranged according to Long Xingyu's instructions, he was still a little afraid that someone might actually get hurt.

But then he glanced at the prospective and veteran riders who had gathered around to watch the game.

Nalan Shu felt a chill run down his spine.
