On one side of the arena is a high area, enclosed with the banner of a lion, a Shizi Empire logo. Then everyone kneeled and greeted the newly arrived emperor and empress.
Everyone else greeted with respect, except for one, Gao Lan i.
"Gao Lan i how dare you not show respect to the emperor!" A woman's voice shrieked indignantly. She is the only one standing with Gao Lan i in the arena.
The woman's whole face is covered with white cloth and she wears a red dress, though only showing her hand and neck, it is tightly fit, that looking like a second skin, emphasizing her figure.
Gao Lan i can easily recognize the voice and the woman who did not miss out the opportunity to point out a very simple matter.
With mock surprise, "Concubine Li! I am sorry, my knees hurt. I am just a mortal so I hope the generous emperor can forgive?" Gao Lan i asked apologetically with a smile as looked directly to the emperor that is now sitting on one of the red chair located in the high area of the arena.
Certainly, like father, like son. When a very beautiful woman is talking to them, all other things do not matter. The open space is bright enough to make sure the audience will not miss anything in the arena.
Considering that is the case Gao Lan i's beauty is emphasized making the male beings and even the emperor look at her dazed.
Emperor Chen Xizhun laughed out loud, "I do not mind if that is the case. I believe the empress will also think the sa." he said then looked at the empress beside him.
Empress Ming masked her anger before speaking, "That would be fine Your Highness." she spoke gently. In her heart, how can she let go of the woman who uses her beauty have n do her bidding. Especially with the woman who is connected to her niece death!
'No need to hurry' The Empress, thought to herself. She is used with play gas involving a pretty face and decided to take things slowly. Empress Ming then glanced at Li Huan with aning.
"Eunuch Chu." Emperor Chen Xizhun called out indifferently. His playfulness from earlier is nowhere to be seen, that also indicates that he takes the royal challenge arena seriously, regardless who is involved.
The old Eunuch Chu stepped up and opened a scroll to read out, " Gao Lan i, future Wei Princess, kneel down and accept the Emperor's decree to defend your honor against sorcery through the Royal Challenge Arena." he stated the content of the decree loud as everyone looked at Gao Lan i.
Everyone including the beings wearing cultivation restriction talisman that are sitting in the audience area as well as so beings from the Justice Affairs are waiting for the fight to start.
A sorcerer will surely do everything to save once self from danger and most of them are there because of an invite to make sure that it will not be missed out.
"Is the challenge arena in this empire is the sa as the sects in the Immortal Domain?" Sung Zhi Ruo asked elder Gu.
Elder Gu shook his head, "That is not the case here Young Miss. Here the one that issued the challenge decides what at stake, the other does not have a choice but to accept that is why a decree is issued. Though both are given a fair chance to use a spiritual weapon so it both sides just needs to fight for their honor." he explained in boredom.
Though the audience seats are far from the arena stage, it is enough for Gao Lan i to hear what Elder Gu has uttered.
Instead of kneeling, Gao Lan i smirked, "Aren't that a bit unfair Your Highness?" she asked mockingly.
