Feng Tianlan raised an eyebrow at the voices coming from both sides. Out of tens of thousands of spectators, there were more than a hundred who supported her, which made her feel pretty good. When Feng Tianlan arrived, like a fairy, Feng Xiuyu lightly jumped down from the stands into the battle ring.

She said, “I’ve been waiting for a while now. I thought you weren’t coming.”

“Tianlan, we’ll be watching you from the stands. Don’t worry, I won’t let anything bad happen to you, so go ahead and destroy her,” said Luo Yunzhu as she held Feng Tianlan’s hands. Then, she went to the stands with Chuling.

The Sparring Arena was shaped like a bucket. There were stands for spectators all around, and everyone could see the battle ring clearly. The stands for the upper-class families were even closer to the battle ring. There, one could even see the expression on the fighters’ faces.

Feng Tianlan leaped onto the stage as gently as a cloud. Her white garments flew in the wind, and her calm demeanor gave her the aura of a king descending from the sky.

“Big sister, you know the rules of this battle ring, right?” Feng Xiuyu stuck her chin out and looked at her sister with disdain.

Feng Tianlan nodded then recited the rules, “One must be responsible for all consequences, no illegal medication is allowed, no hidden weapons are allowed, and nobody is allowed to interfere from outside the ring.”

In other words, the battle ring was a matter of life and death. The consequences were much more severe than those of their previous showdown. Even if a prince died, the emperor would not be allowed to seek revenge of any sort.

“Good. You’re aware. But don’t worry, as long as you admit defeat, I won’t kill you.”
