Your Majesty, don't look back. I am Your Majesty.

The girl opened her mouth slightly, with a look of disbelief!

"This is the key to the imperially bestowed first-class dragon abode. There is only one such abode in the entire martial arts academy. It is equipped with the most advanced magical weapons, various tonics and elixirs, and two mechanical men personally built by Minister Mo of the Ministry of Works for training with you."

"Everything is at your disposal during the Mid-Autumn Martial Arts Tournament."

"Miss Rain, you deserve it."

Kong Xun said with a kind smile as he gently threw the golden key, which landed squarely in the girl's palm.

In an instant.

The whole audience was shocked!

Silence!

After a moment, there was a burst of exclamations and discussions!

"Oh my god! The Imperially Bestowed First-Class Dragon Shelter! As far as I know, this room is a temporary training ground for the princes and princesses before they go to the Imperial Academy. It is not open to the public!"

"It is still open, but it has to be a rare genius that only appears once in a century! For example, its previous owner, our Great Xia's number one genius, Master Nie Zheng!"

"But this girl is only fifth in her class, and she's not from a famous family. She can't possibly live in a place like this, right?!"

"Is there a possibility that this girl has the greatest background?"

On the field, the other 19 martial arts academy geniuses, including the number one Situ Haonan, all looked somewhat indignant.

Why! ?

In their eyes, this youngest female classmate, although lively and cheerful, looks cute and well-behaved, is lovable.

But if I really want to compete with them, let’s not talk about martial arts, there is a huge difference in our backgrounds!

Therefore, it makes absolutely no sense for her to live in this imperially bestowed first-class dragon abode!

Amidst a chorus of doubts.

But Kong Xun said, "Ahem, listen carefully, everyone. It is not a shame to be born in a humble family. Only a man who can bend and stretch can be a real man!"

"This Miss Yu was only able to practice martial arts at the age of thirteen, which was almost over the age limit. She also had no support from her family. But even so, she still did not give up. She put in a hundred times a thousand times the effort and finally was able to rank alongside you all."

"Just considering her sincere desire to pursue martial arts, doesn't she deserve extra praise?"

As soon as these words came out.

Everyone was silent, completely unable to refute.

Indeed, as classmates, I have seen many things.

Few people can match Miss Yu's hard-working spirit in the martial arts academy!

"Thank you, Sir, but..."

Recalling the countless days and nights of solitary cultivation over the years, Yu Ling'er's eyes turned red and she choked up:

"Aya can't bear it"

"Of course you can afford it."

Kong Xun smiled and lowered his voice and said, "Come on, girl. There is a "young master" who is praised by His Majesty and is a genius. He is very optimistic about you."

"Young sir?"

Yu Ling'er had tears in her eyes, and her pretty face was full of confusion: "Is it bigger than Lord Kong?"

In her eyes, the martial arts supervisor of the capital city supervises the Shengwu Academy headquarters in Cangzhou from afar. The golden-robed martial envoys here are already high-ranking officials like immortals in the clouds!

Kong Xun waved his hand and said, "You are embarrassing me. How can I compare with that young and popular person in the imperial dynasty?"

At this point, he stopped talking: "Hahahaha, okay, stop asking. Just prepare well. You may be able to meet this gentleman in the first round of the competition tomorrow."

North of the Wuxuejian Park.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, this is a beautiful first-class dragon house bestowed by the emperor.

"Wow, it's so spacious! So gorgeous!"

Looking at the magnificent palace-like interior, Yu Ling'er's eyes sparkled, and she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth: "This house in the capital is really big!"

"My child, it's not the houses in the capital that are big, it's the room you live in that is big. This room is specially provided for the pillar-level geniuses of the Great Xia Dynasty."

The silver-clad female warrior from the Shengwu Academy who was in charge of taking care of the twenty geniuses on this trip said, "Look, look over there. These few inscriptions were left by the previous owner of this room."

"what?"

Yu Ling'er looked as she was told, and saw a few bold and powerful characters carved with the edge of a sword on the rockery outside the pond - "God rewards hard work."

"Sister Zhu, this is..."

"This is the handwriting left by Deputy Director Nie of the Divine Constable Department, who bestowed upon him the title of 'Daxia's No. 1 Prodigy' by His Majesty today."

"Deputy Director Nie?"

Yu Ling'er chewed on the name and held her chin up as she said, "Oh, he must be a very powerful person!"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Lord Nie is the youngest young master in the Yuantai Dynasty! He is only 28 years old!" The female warrior said with admiration.

"Ah, a twenty-eight-year-old Grandmaster!?"

Yu Ling'er's eyes widened, and then she gave a thumbs up in agreement: "Well, just as Sister Zhu said, it is indeed amazing!"

"Yes."

The female warrior named Zhu was full of admiration: "Speaking of Lord Nie, he is not only from a famous family and has superb martial arts skills, but he is also a famous handsome man! In this imperial capital, there are countless young ladies, princesses and princesses who are eager to marry him. It's a pity that his fiancée Lord Lu..."

"What happened to his fiancée?"

Yu Ling'er blinked her eyes and said like a curious baby.

"What? You little girl, do you also want to have a chance encounter with this Lord Nie?"

The female warrior laughed and said, "Hahaha, that's okay. It's normal for a young girl to have sexual thoughts."

"Ling'er, if you can win the three-day competition, successfully reach the palace, and participate in the Moon Festival Ceremony, you will be able to meet the godlike Lord Nie!"

"No no no."

Yu Ling'er shook her head, her beautiful eyes drooping, her expression lonely but firm: "I remember telling Sister Zhu about it."

"Ling'er fought through all the difficulties and hardships all the way to where she is today, just to see her brother!"

"So, no matter how handsome and brave this Lord Nie is, or how extraordinary his talent is, it has nothing to do with Ling'er. Let other girls fight for him~"

The girl smiled sweetly, then her face flushed, and she whispered softly: "Brother is the most perfect man in the world!"

"Your brother"

Hearing the girl mention this, the female warrior was also somewhat curious: "Oh, by the way, Ling'er, you said that you and your brother were separated in this capital city, and there has been no news since then?"

Yu Ling'er's face was gloomy, and her long eyelashes drooped down. "My brother was forcibly taken away by a very beautiful woman. She said that her husband's family was a big family in the capital. After she arranged for someone to send me back to my hometown, I completely lost contact with my brother."

"But my brother would write to me every six months to let me know he's safe, and he also said he's currently working as a hidden man in that big shot's house and can't get away!"

"So you want to"

"Yes! Ling'er wants to gain the recognition of the current emperor through this imperial competition! And then I hope that the omnipotent Great Xia Zi can help me find my brother."

"Well, indeed."

The female warrior pondered and said, "If it is true as your brother said, that he is in the capital, then it would be easy for His Majesty to issue a handwritten order to help you find him."

"Yes! Ling'er thinks so too!"

Yu Ling'er held her pretty little face in her hands, her beautiful eyes gradually became blurred, and she began to look forward to the scene of reuniting and hugging her brother!

"Alright, alright, Ling'er, since you have such a vision, then work hard. Take a good rest here today. You must win the first round of the competition tomorrow!"

The female warrior Zhu Yan said.

"Sister Zhu, I..."

"what happened?"

"I want to go out for a walk and feel the prosperity of this imperial capital. The last time I came here was five years ago." Yu Ling'er asked weakly, "Can I?"

Zhu Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, I see you don't want to go out for a stroll, but you want to try your luck and see if you can run into your brother, right?"

"Hehe, I can't hide it from Sister Zhu."

Yu Ling'er's cheeks turned red and she smiled shyly, "Is that okay? Just one hour! I will definitely be back in one hour!"

"Hey, Ling'er, you have to know that this is the imperial capital where there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers, and where many aristocratic families gather. You are so beautiful, if you go out and offend a young master, and you have a straightforward temper, what will you do if you get into a fight with him?"

Zhu Yan shook his head.

"No way."

Yu Ling'er pouted and said:

"Look, Sister Zhu, I'm wearing grey and shabby clothes. I don't have any jewelry on my body. The only thing I have is a thorn hairpin made of a tree branch, which was given to me by my brother when I was a child. Which rich young man would be interested in a poor little girl like me?"

"Well, your pretty face is enough. Who knows, maybe Mr. Jing will like a Cinderella like you!"

Zhu Yan raised an eyebrow.

"Woo woo woo, Sister Zhu, I promise that if I encounter such a thing, I will run away immediately and never conflict with anyone, okay?"

The girl looked pitiful, and she wanted to fight for it again. "Besides, I am now an outstanding student of Shengwu Academy after all. Sooner or later, I will join the court. I have the protection of Sister Zhu, the Silver-clad Martial Envoy. Who would dare to provoke me?"

"puff."

Zhu Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Girl, you don't really think that a small official of the seventh rank like me is a nobody in this capital, do you? Do you know what the most terrifying force in this capital is?"

"What force?" Yu Ling'er asked curiously.

"Have you heard of the second-in-command of the Martial Arts School, the Holy Martial Envoy Feng Yufeng?"

"Of course I have heard of it! Lord Feng and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to Shengwu Academy to give us guidance on our work earlier this year!"

"Yes." Zhu Yan lowered his voice and said, "Then let me tell you, this Lord Feng is probably dead now. The court has not even given him a clear charge. He just disappeared like that!"

"Moreover, the one who arrested him was the newly appointed deputy governor of the Western Factory. It is said that this person is still very young."

"In short, Lord Feng is gone. Not even the eldest prince can protect him."

"Now you should know what force in the capital is even more frightening, right? Yes, it is the omnipresent factory guards."

"Factory Guard"
