Chapter 95: When Enemies Meet, Their Eyes Turn Extra Red!

Although the Princess's voice was not loud, everyone present was a Beast Tamer.

They all heard the Princess's words, and for a moment, everyone wore an expression of astonishment.

Many of the experts watching from the sidelines had already felt somewhat surprised to see the Princess come looking for Luo Shuiyan.

But they never imagined that this Princess actually wanted to join Luo Shuiyan's team.

For a time, everyone stood there in a daze, mouths agape, unable to speak for a long while.

Under normal circumstances, members of the royal family would join Tianlong Academy.

Not only is their strength formidable, but their resources are also superior.

Yet, the crowd did not expect that a royal Princess, and the youngest daughter most doted upon by the Crown Prince,

would actually take a fancy to this small team from Xi'an Ancient City led by Luo Shuiyan.

One must know that all four members of Luo Shuiyan's team are freshmen.

Although their talent is extraordinary, wanting to achieve results this year is no different from wishful thinking.

In the eyes of the crowd, this Princess joining Luo Shuiyan's team is really no different from doing charity...

Even Luo Shuiyan was somewhat stunned after hearing the Princess's words.

She even thought this Princess was here to find fault, and never expected that the other party actually wanted to join her team.

"Princess, you aren't joking with me, are you?"

"You, a person of such noble status, want to come to my small team to be a substitute?"

Luo Shuiyan frowned slightly, momentarily unable to figure out what exactly the Princess before her was planning.

Substitute members exist in every team, though they generally do not enter the field during the early stages.

The Hundred Schools League is not child's play; casualties are the most normal thing to happen.

In such situations, substitute members are needed to fill in; otherwise, fighting against more with fewer will be even more difficult.

Each team can only field four people, so substitute members are used to deal with such unexpected situations.

But under normal circumstances, if there are no accidents, substitute members will not enter the field.

Only those with slightly weaker strength would become starting members.

As for ordinary times, there is no such thing as a substitute; after all, if one truly faces a real battle, everyone would certainly swarm in together.

However, while the rules for substitute members are fine, letting a noble Princess act as a substitute is giving her a bit too much face.

Luo Shuiyan really did not want to invite this trouble.

"Princess, isn't this decision of yours a bit too sudden?"

Xue Bingning, standing to the side, saw the look on Luo Shuiyan's face and, knowing she did not want to get involved in these royal matters, stepped forward to politely decline.

"Princess, you and Shui Yan and the others are not from the same academy; this doesn't quite conform to the rules..."

"No matter, rules are dead, but people are alive; it's no big deal."

Hearing Xue Bingning's words, the Princess waved her hand, completely unconcerned.

As the most doted-upon Princess of the Da Jin, her privileges are naturally things others do not possess.

It is just that this Princess has always been used to doing as she pleases and did not seem to grasp the intentions of Luo Shuiyan and the others.

Jiang Che frowned slightly.

"This Princess's father doesn't look like a good person; I fear this Princess coming over at a time like this has ulterior motives."

Jiang Che recalled the scene where he had locked eyes with the Crown Prince earlier.

That look from the other party made him feel a chill run down his back.

Furthermore, both Luo Shuiyan and he himself harbor very significant secrets.

The other three have been very reliable during the time they have spent together, but Jiang Che still felt uneasy about this Princess.

Although the Princess has a very imposing figure, he already has Luo Shuiyan and the others.

Plus the mature, elegant Xue Bingning, with five beauties of various charms, he is not lacking this one daughter of the royal family.

"I say, what are you still considering?!"

"Our Princess being willing to serve as a substitute member for you is already lowering her status."

"You lot, who should be grateful, are actually there making excuses and stalling."

The arrogant attendant behind the Princess spoke up again at this moment. Her demeanor was extremely haughty, as if the Princess joining Luo Shuiyan's team were some kind of great reward.

As soon as she spoke, Luo Shuiyan and the others instantly frowned.

Everyone had not wanted to agree to the Princess's request to begin with, and now that the other party was so arrogant, they were even less likely to agree.

"Sorry, Princess, our Rose Maiden Team already has enough manpower, and we have no plans to add more members for the time being."

Luo Shuiyan smiled slightly and rejected the Princess.

Her thoughts actually coincided with Jiang Che's.

Although Luo Shuiyan knew from her memories of her past life that this Princess was actually a very decent person,

the other party had the royal background of the Da Jin behind her, so it was better to have less contact with such people...

"Alright, that is truly a pity."

After hearing Luo Shuiyan's words, the Princess did not fly into a rage out of humiliation, but merely smiled regretfully at the group.

She then took a few lingering glances at Jiang Che before turning to leave.

Many people around now felt completely baffled.

First, the Princess ran over to be a substitute member for Luo Shuiyan.

Then, Luo Shuiyan actually rejected the Princess...

"This Rose Maiden Team really doesn't know what's good for them, rejecting even the Princess."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this is the first time I've heard of a royal family member taking the initiative to join another team, only to be given the cold shoulder."

……

After returning to the VIP seating area, a young man walked up to the Princess's side.

The man's complexion was somewhat pale, and his expression was extremely effeminate.

"Princess, perhaps I can do you a favor."

"Yin Kou? How do you intend to help me?"

Seeing Yin Kou beside her, the Princess frowned slightly and asked casually, without much interest.

"It's actually quite simple; the team tournament requires four people to take the field each time."

"If the Rose Maiden Team cannot field four people in the upcoming matches, wouldn't they need a substitute member then..."

As he spoke, Yin Kou smiled slightly; although he feigned a polite appearance, that smile was still somewhat chilling.

"Hmph! Yin Kou! I have no interest in your Yin Family's affairs, and I don't want to hear about them!"

As a Princess of the royal family, she was naturally no fool.

She had long since understood what was happening within the Yin Family; Yin Kou's words were nothing more than an attempt to say he would take action to make Yi Zimeng disappear.

The Yin Family was eliminating dissenters and still wanted to do her a favor? Truly clever in their own eyes.

Furthermore, the Princess felt an instinctive disgust toward such internal family strife.

Soon, the first day of the tournament concluded entirely.

Lin Xueer and the other two did not leave early this time, watching all the battles.

Especially when seeing that the team Yin Kou belonged to was comprised entirely of King Rank powerhouses, the pressure in Yi Zimeng's heart increased sharply.

She could barely manage to deal with ordinary high-stage Zero Tier Beast Tamers by fighting above her level.

But when it came to facing a King-level Beast Master, Yi Zimeng did not have that kind of confidence.

"Rest assured, as long as I am here, those guys are nothing but clay chickens and pottery dogs."

Jiang Che stretched out his little paw, patted the snow-white area on Yi Zimeng's chest, and comforted her softly.

Although Yi Zimeng could not understand his words, she could sense Jiang Che's meaning, and only then did she smile slightly.

In the second day's Individual Tournament, Luo Shuiyan won easily again without needing Jiang Che to take action.

"Rose Maiden Team, Jingtao Julang Team!"

In the afternoon's team tournament, Yi Zimeng finally encountered a formidable foe.

Looking at Yin Kou opposite her, Yi Zimeng's eyes were filled with hatred!
