Divine Seal: The little princess is vying and fighting to become the Demon Emperor.

Chapter 70 At worst, I'll flip the table.
Chen Ying'er just thought Lin Xin was a bit stupid, he didn't even figure out which powerful figure he should be clinging to.

"Haha, haha, what if something unexpected happens?"

Lin Xin smiled and tried to evade the question, but inwardly he was groaning.

Of course he knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Feng Jing would definitely be number one this time; it wasn't like he hadn't tried to get Feng Jing to take the lead.

But Feng Jing had already clearly rejected him, and quite thoroughly.

"If I were number one, there would be many people who would want to choose me, and you wouldn't be in the running for now."

That was Feng Jing's original reply to him a long time ago. At that time, Feng Jing thought that Bai Haochen, Sheng Cai'er, Yang Wenzhao, Han Yu, and Chen Ying'er were all ahead of Lin Xin.

Since things didn't work out with Feng Jing, Lin Xin turned to others.

If the first place can't be bought off, there's always the first and second place.

Unfortunately, those who had a chance to get into the top three already had more important candidates in mind, so they all had to reject Lin Xin.

"Nobody chose me, sob sob, I'm so sad, I'll take some pills to comfort myself."

Lin Xin looked very upset after being rejected multiple times.

In reality, Lin Xin wasn't that panicked.

He had already discovered that the quality of this year's Demon Hunter teams was exceptionally high. There were five knights of rank five or higher, which meant that regardless of the composition, at least five Demon Hunter teams would have professionals of rank five or higher.

What he had always wanted was to join a powerful demon-hunting group to better ensure his safety and to go to a wider world.

"No matter what, there are still five. It's a one-in-five chance. My luck shouldn't be that bad, right?"

Thinking this way, Lin Xin's mindset was surprisingly good.

His mentality was indeed excellent. On the second day, when it came to the quarterfinals, he immediately conceded defeat as soon as he stepped onto the stage, without putting up any resistance.

Conversely, Chen Ying'er, who also believed she was destined to lose, struggled for a moment until she saw the low-level magical beasts emerging from the Gate of Life before finally giving up and admitting defeat.

"Am I just unlucky, or are you just incredibly lucky?"

"You must have stolen my luck."

"Fine, fine, I give up."

As she spoke, Chen Ying'er glared at Bai Haochen, looking utterly dejected.

She remembered that she had been having pretty good luck lately; otherwise, she wouldn't have ended up here.

But when good luck meets even better luck, it's useless.

"Then I'll just sit back and win."

Bai Haochen scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly; it seemed his luck was pretty good.

To this day, I still haven't run into Feng Jing or Sheng Cai'er.

I hope I don't run into them in the next match.

As soon as the thought came to mind, Bai Haochen looked towards the arena, where Cai'er and Assassin Temple Xingxuan were competing.

It was a surprise to Bai Haochen when he saw it.

"No, why did Cai'er give up so easily!"

"She can't possibly lose to Xingxuan!"

"Why did Cai'er pretend to lose...?"

Bai Haochen was both surprised and anxious, completely confused about the situation.

One sentence kept echoing in my mind: Cai'er can't possibly lose.

Not only Bai Haochen noticed that Sheng Cai'er was deliberately losing to Xing Xuan, but everyone else on the field also saw something and were quite shocked.

Feng Jing was also shocked, but she quickly guessed the reason. She wanted to speak, thinking of Bai Haochen, but then she closed her mouth and remained silent.

Fortunately, Bai Haochen was completely focused on Sheng Cai'er and naturally didn't notice this subtle change.

"Cai'er!"

As soon as Sheng Cai'er's competition ended, Bai Haochen rushed towards where she had left the stage, his face full of urgency.

"Cai'er, why did you give up? Did something happen? Or are you feeling unwell?"

Bai Haochen asked anxiously.

"It's nothing, it's just that rankings aren't important to me." Sheng Cai'er opened her mouth, but changed her words, concealing her true thoughts.

"I do not believe!"

Bai Haochen knew immediately that this was just an excuse, but when he pressed for more information, Sheng Cai'er refused to speak.

Saint Cher knew very well that her conceding defeat was a gamble.

But she didn't want Bai Haochen to gamble as well.

Saint Cai'er came up with this idea on a whim. When she saw that her opponent was an assassin from the same temple, she suddenly felt that she had another reason to admit defeat.

Although Sheng Cai'er didn't say it, Bai Haochen quickly figured it out.

"Cherrie conceded defeat because she wanted to be on our team."

"If she is also in the top three, then she will definitely not be able to be on the same team as the top three people."

"what about me?"

Having figured this out, Bai Haochen looked at Sheng Cai'er, then at Feng Jing, and quickly made his choice.

When he saw that he was drawn into the same group as Feng Jing in the semi-finals, Bai Haochen was even feeling fortunate.

"I surrender!"

As soon as he stepped onto the stage, Bai Haochen shouted, extremely decisive, without any pretense.

After admitting defeat, Bai Haochen smiled and looked at Feng Jing.

"Auntie, even fate has decreed that I will lose to you."

"I'm not giving up for no reason. Even if I didn't give up, I still couldn't beat you."

So you can't blame me.

Seeing Feng Jing's somewhat dark expression, Bai Haochen explained himself, sentence by sentence.

Feng Jing was so angry that he laughed.

"So you've finally realized it and want to automatically drop out of the top three?"

Bai Haochen nodded; he made the same decision immediately after realizing what was happening.

"Have you ever thought that neither you nor Cai'er are in the top three?"

"But only one person can be selected from the top three."

"Should I choose you, or Cai'er?"

Bai Haochen's smile froze, and he couldn't help but reveal an expression that was even more unsightly than crying.

Thinking of Sheng Cai'er, Bai Haochen was in a real dilemma, but in the end he reluctantly said, "You choose Cai'er."

"I'm a man, I can do it on my own."

Bai Haochen was incredibly sad.

How could he overlook the fact that he could only choose one person?

Choosing between two options—who is being put in a difficult position here?

Let's make things difficult for ourselves.

Although he decided to make things difficult for himself, Bai Haochen was very determined when competing with Xingxuan from the loser group for third place, and unintentionally lost to Xingxuan.

At this point, the top three are determined: Feng Jing, Yang Wenzhao, and Xing Xuan, who was pushed up the list without any effort.

Xingxuan never expected that the biggest winner would be him. He, a newbie who had just broken through to the fifth level, was able to squeeze to the front among a group of dragons and phoenixes.

When Xingxuan, who had won without lifting a finger, heard that the top three had to come forward, she was still dazed and had to call out several times before she came to her senses.

“The top three will each have one chance to choose any team member. Feng Jing, you are first, so you choose first.”

Although the scene was rather serious, Han Qian and the other five deputy hall masters couldn't help but want to watch the show.

They wanted to see how Feng Jing would choose between his apprentice and his nephew.

Feng Jing's thought was that if things went wrong, he'd just flip the table.
