Your Highness Yh Chapter 24 (2/2)
What the h.e.l.l? This compet.i.tion only occurs once a year. It cannot be delayed or cancelled! Obviously someone had tried to scheme something to affect the results. How dare they? The Emperor angrily announced the dismissal of all the horse keepers and declared he was going to investigate thoroughly on what has happened. In addition, the compet.i.tion was still going to take place. However, no horses will be used.
So the equestrian compet.i.tion was now an archery compet.i.tion.
Lin Shan totally regretted her actions…if only she hadn’t put so much “condiments”. Now, Du Hao still had the advantage. As for her….Lin Shan took out her slingshot. Why couldn’t it be a slingshot compet.i.tion instead? T___T
However, the sudden switch of the compet.i.tion was very unattractive to many of the partic.i.p.ants. The challenge had decreased tremendously and they lost all of their initial enthusiasm. What was the point of competing?
The Emperor was frustrated. Originally, the purpose of this compet.i.tion was to excavate talent! He wanted to nurture a capable individual as well as create a national compet.i.tion for the youngsters. Now, everyone lacked the fire to partic.i.p.ate. How could he not be upset?
Therefore, the Emperor had a discussion with his officials and decided to add something on top of the archery compet.i.tion. He included a treasure hunt component. Whoever that was able to find the three East China Sea Night Pearls that will be hidden will be the winner of the compet.i.tion. A grand prize will be rewarded to the winner.
Once this Imperial edict was announced, there was a big commotion.
Lin Shan was nearly hysterical. Woah!!! This is what you call a compet.i.tion! Who cares about horse riding or archery shooting!?! So typical. Treasure hunt is the way to go! Plus, it could release her potential!! Lin Shan was very thrilled as she listened to her brother’s arrangements.
“Yang Master and Li General, you guys will be responsible for this part. Mo brother… you will be responsible for this. As well, Chen brother, you will be responsible for this…” Song Lin Feng a.s.signed tasks to everyone, and lastly his eyes landed on Lin Shan.
Lin Shan was smiling like a fool as she happily waited for her a.s.signment.
“You.” Song Lin Feng pointed at his troublesome sister, “are going to be with me.”
What?!?! Lin Shan was horrified. Big brother. What do you mean? Don’t tell me you want me to be a backup and stay to “guard”. No! I want to be a forward! Lin Shan rejected but Song Lin Feng refused to let her out of his sight.
Lin Shan knew she must act on her own. Right before the compet.i.tion started, she secretly hid a map on herself. Later, she was going to find an opportunity to hunt by herself.
However, Song Lin Feng could see right through his sister. Once the compet.i.tion began, everyone went inside the forest, but poor Lin Shan was stopped by her brother who had grabbed her by the neck collar.
“Song Luo, if you dare to give me trouble, I promise you that you will never have any good days in your life.” Song Lin Feng harshly glared and warned her. He was showing a side that others never see.
Lin Shan couldn’t help but sigh for Du Ming Yue’s sake. Oh Princess! You think your ideal man is so perfect? If you know what Song Lin Feng is truly like, would you still keep him in your heart? What a tragic story!? Tragic, I tell you!
Lin Shan shook her head, but Song Lin Feng wouldn’t let go of her collar. She was stuck by his side.
The compet.i.tion started at noon and continued all the way until sunset. Lin Shan couldn’t find an opportunity to slip away at all. When the Sun was finally starting to set, Song Lin Feng said: “Time is almost up. Let’s go.”
h.e.l.lo!? Are you nuts? I came here to look for treasure, not to leisurely stroll around. Even if you’re trying to go easy on your opponents, you shouldn’t be like this!? Lin Shan fumed and mumbled: “I need to pee.”
