Royal Duel
"A person like me, if I don't have some money, won't I end up begging for food on the streets later?" Lan Ya saw that he didn't speak, and it seemed as though she had guessed his thoughts, so she said with a bit of jest.
Baili Liancheng's gaze fell on Lan Ya's legs, and a ripple appeared in his warm eyes: "Are you afraid?"
Afraid? Lan Ya raised her eyes and smiled: "What's there to be afraid of?"
"If your leg doesn't get better, will you be scared?" His voice was very calm, just like a friend's concerned inquiry.
"I'm not afraid of losing both legs, as long as I can live, that's all that matters. I'm more afraid of dying, even without legs, I can still live strongly." Lan Ya's hand stroked this pair of legs, without any hint of sadness.
"Living strongly......" Ba Li Lian Cheng repeated this sentence, looking at Lan Ya's eyes again, and found that there was a thread of soft light: "You are really very strong."
The first time he heard such sincere words, his tone was full of praise, but he didn't know how to describe her strength...
"Life has too many disappointments, if you don't find happiness yourself, aren't you going to live in suffering forever." She had been telling herself this since she was young.
"Go find your own happiness, it's right." Ba Li Lian Cheng's mouth corners rose into a smile.
"Your smile is beautiful." Lan Ya looked up and met this smile, saying it sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Baili Liancheng's smile deepened even further, and his large hand naturally stroked Lan Ya's hair.
Lan Ya was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. The man's body emitted a radiant glow like sunlight, and the warm and gentle feeling it gave off was something that no one could resist.
At this time, there were many people around the royal arena. From the notice, it was seen that this year's competition eliminated the literary part and only competed in qin, chess, painting, and calligraphy. Both men and women could participate, and the champion would receive a prize of 100,000 taels of gold.
A prize of one hundred thousand yuan naturally attracted a lot of attention, and many people participated. The onlookers were even more numerous, and the crowd was densely packed, making it hard to move.
Lan Ya sat in a wheelchair and had difficulty moving. If it weren't for the opening of the Hundred Miles Linked City, even if Chen Xiang pushed her alone, they would not be able to squeeze in.
"There are many participants this year, and it's not easy to win the championship." Baili Liancheng said, looking at Lan Ya: "Are you really going to participate?"
"Give it a try." The allure of 100,000 gold coins was too great; she would go all out.
With one hundred thousand gold coins, her life from now on will no longer be so difficult.
But she didn't expect a competition would make her meet that cheetah-like man again...
If one could predict the future, even if it meant becoming a beggar on the streets, she would still not try this once...
The evening wind was blowing gently, at the end of the street of Floating Splendor, the Royal Arena, all the judges had arrived.
This year's competition has heard that the first young master Qi Xuanran and the first talented woman Bai Mengni will also participate. With the participation of these two, ordinary people dare not go up to offer their ugliness.
Lan Ya looked at the people who signed up and heard that Qi Xiao Ran and Bai Meng Ni's faces changed, then walked down from the registration stage, giving up on participating.
"Who are Qi Xiao Ran and Bai Meng Ni?" Lan Ya turned her head in doubt.
"Miss, you've forgotten that Qi Xiao Ran is the most skilled musician in our country of Mu Chen. At just 22 years old, he was able to compose a piece of music that is unmatched throughout the world. Bai Meng Ni is the daughter of the current prime minister and is well-versed in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, making her the acknowledged talented woman of our entire nation." Shen Xiang's tone was full of admiration and envy.
