Chapter 322: We owe Young Hero Xu another apology!

Continue this trial?

Everyone present was stunned upon hearing this!

Is this guy stupid?

Everyone present felt that either they had misheard, or Xu Que had gone crazy!

The Emperor gave an opportunity to restart the trial; for an ordinary person, this would be a great honor and surprise, but he actually didn't want it?

"It's over, this kid must have been knocked stupid just now!"

"No, he's not stupid, he's smart!"

"Ah, how do you say that?"

"Can't you see it? This guy clearly doesn't think he can win, so he wants to use this opportunity to lose in a legitimate way!"

"Damn, that's too scheming!"

……

Many people discussed it in shock, and finally, as if they had all seen through Xu Que's intention to lose the trial on purpose, they looked at Xu Que with faces full of disdain.

And the Third Prince, the Seventh Princess, and the others were also dumbfounded!

Originally, they had heard the Emperor say he would give Xu Que a chance to restart the race, with the price being just a symbolic one hundred strokes of the cane as punishment.

But as a result, this guy actually said he wanted to continue this trial!

Big brother, people have already almost reached the halfway point of the mountain, what are you continuing for?

"What exactly is this kid trying to do?"

"It's over, I bet he definitely doesn't want to take those one hundred strokes of the cane, so he'd rather lose than be beaten!"

"This guy is really a coward. One hundred strokes of the cane are like a tickle to him; what is he afraid of!"

Several princes were extremely anxious. They were closest to the Third Prince and had always been in the Third Prince's faction, hoping that the Third Prince could win the Crown Prince position!

But now, in the first trial, Xu Que had stirred up trouble. If they couldn't even get into the top ten, even if the Third Prince won first place in all the subsequent stages, he wouldn't be able to win the Crown Prince position!

"Seventh Sister, what do you think he's trying to do? Could there be some other plan?"

The Third Prince calmed down slightly!

After all, he could also see that Xu Que wanted to win. If it hadn't been for the Second Prince's interference, Xu Que would have had a full opportunity to take first place in this trial.

But in the current situation, for Xu Que to continue the race, let alone first place, it was hard to say if he could even finish the whole course within an hour!

"I... I don't know anymore!"

The Seventh Princess was also at a loss at this moment, completely unable to guess what Xu Que was trying to do!

The Third Prince paused slightly and finally shook his head: "Forget it, let's wait and see. Second Imperial Brother's Divine Steed over there was also destroyed; he will definitely demand a restart!"

……

Sure enough, when the Second Prince heard Xu Que say he wanted to continue the trial, he became anxious and immediately shouted to the Golden Emperor: "Father Emperor, this son has already realized his mistake and hopes to restart the trial, and I guarantee that I will never interfere again!"

"Restart my ass! If you do this, is it fair to the others?"

Xu Que immediately widened his eyes and said righteously: "Such an important trial, you say restart and it restarts? How disrespectful is this to the others? Since it's a trial, it must be fair, just, and open. You absolutely cannot engage in special treatment just because you are a prince!"

Having said this, Xu Que looked at the Golden Emperor and said righteously: "Your Majesty, I strongly condemn the Second Prince's selfish thinking. This trial must continue.

Look, look at how hard those participating comrades are working!

They are still clenching their teeth and sprinting until now. This spirit of persisting in their dreams and not giving up is so moving! If you suddenly say you want to restart the trial now, how cold-hearted will they be? So this matter of restarting the race must absolutely not happen!"

Xu Que advised earnestly.

At this moment, there seemed to be a holy light on his body, covering the world!

Everyone in the arena was dumbfounded.

So it turns out this guy... is afraid that restarting the trial would be unfair to the others!

And what he said made a lot of sense; restarting the trial at a time like this is indeed very unfair to the others.

After all, the trial has been going on for a while, and many cultivators have consumed a lot of divine soul power; it's not suitable to restart the trial.

But... when did this guy become such a good person?

This doesn't look like his style at all!

"Could it be that we misunderstood Young Hero Xu?"

"I used to think he was a shameless person, but now, why do I suddenly feel that he is a truly great person?"

"That's right. This kind of selfless and righteous mind, who among those present can achieve it?"

"It seems we really misjudged Young Hero Xu. He is actually a truly good person!"

"We just mocked him; that really shouldn't have happened!"

"That's right. We owe Young Hero Xu another apology... Eh? Why did I say 'another'?"

"Young Hero Xu, I'm sorry!"

"Young Hero Xu, I'm sorry!"

Suddenly, in the Imperial Mausoleum mountains, more and more cultivators shouted loudly, sincerely apologizing to Xu Que.

At this moment, they were all conquered by Xu Que's magnanimity!

In this cold and ruthless world of cultivation, it was finally easy to be moved by a good person!

Everyone suddenly felt that the Xu Que before them was a clear stream in the world of cultivation!

……

"Ding, congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool, gaining 230 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding, congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting cool, gaining 260 Acting Cool Points!"

"Ding, congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for acting a 'shameless' cool, special reward of 800 Acting Cool Points!"

……

At this moment, a series of system notification sounds were already echoing in Xu Que's mind.

He was overjoyed in his heart, yet his face still maintained a solemn expression as he cupped his hands toward the crowd and said, "Everyone is too kind. I am merely doing what must be done; there is no need for you to apologize!"

"Young Master Xu! This... why is this? This trial competition is the key battle that determines whether my Third Imperial Brother can compete for the position of Crown Prince! Since the Father Emperor has proposed a rematch, such a great opportunity, how could you..."

Finally, seeing Xu Que's actions, the Seventh Princess could no longer hold back. She hurriedly sent a voice transmission to Xu Que below, hoping to persuade him to accept the retrial while the Golden Emperor had not yet changed his mind.

However, Xu Que did not respond to her at all. Pretending not to hear the transmission, he gave a cheeky smile toward the Seventh Princess's direction and even made a "V" victory sign.

"Young Master Xu..."

"Young Master Xu! Are you listening? Can you hear a word from me?"

"Young Master Xu! This matter must not be trifled with..."

Xu Que's silence only made the Seventh Princess feel more anxious. Not caring about anything else, she kept sending voice transmissions to Xu Que.

Finally, Xu Que could no longer be bothered, and he replied when the Seventh Princess sent her twenty-seventh transmission.

"I'm sorry..."

This was Xu Que's voice!

Upon hearing the voice in her mind, the Seventh Princess felt a surge of joy, but when she heard clearly that Xu Que had said "I'm sorry," her heart suddenly sank.

I'm sorry?

Why would he say he's sorry? Could it be...

Before the Seventh Princess could react, Xu Que's voice sounded again:

"I'm sorry! The person you are trying to reach is out of the service area. Please try again later..."
