"What are you talking about, back then I was either traveling or wandering the streets, where would I have time to flirt with girls, but now it's different, I still have one day of rest time, I'm very free," Young Miss replied with a smile.
"Flirt with girls..."
When County Princess Ling Lan and the other two heard Young Miss's choice of words, they were all somewhat shocked.
With the indifferent expressions of the Nangong sisters and some explanations from Third Miss, they became relieved and no longer guarded against Young Miss, though there was originally no need to be guarded anyway.
Young Miss was very happy about this, she felt that coming to this Dragon Gate Tournament was absolutely the right decision, she should properly reward that little rascal. Only that little rascal had disappeared to who knows where, there was still no news of him now, forget it, never mind him, she wanted to live for today and sleep embracing beauties.
Undeniably, Young Miss's status brought many conveniences, she truly fulfilled her wish, that night she slept in the same bed with Princess Ke Xin, because the gentle Princess Ke Xin didn't refuse, and also didn't want to see her running around drunk.
Moreover, at this time rooms were rather tight, everyone who could enter the second trial had arrived.
Regarding Young Miss, almost everyone felt speechless, because at this time, she could actually still get herself drunk, clearly knowing the next trial was approaching soon, even if she liked drinking, she should restrain herself a bit.
However, using Third Miss's words to explain this matter, everyone seemed to understand.
“This Dragon Gate Tournament isn't her goal, she's just... here to have fun..."
While everyone thought Young Miss should need time to recover after getting drunk, on the morning of the second day, everyone was surprised to see Young Miss had regained her spirit, talking and laughing with several beautiful girls while eating breakfast.
At the same time, some people finally saw Guxing, although Guxing's name had long been known to them, everyone knew this currently first-ranked girl, but no one had ever seen her.
Guxing had always been in seclusion, rarely making contact with people.
Moreover, being first in the first trial hadn't aroused too much curiosity, plus when Guxing appeared there were over a thousand people present, then she immediately entered the trial, which gave many people no opportunity to see her.
But now it was different, everyone was resting, they could see Guxing without any obstruction.
At this moment, those who saw her were almost stunned by her heavenly beauty, they couldn't imagine that Guxing's appearance would actually surpass Young Miss and the others by more than a notch, no one here could compare to her.
Especially Guxing had a faint elegant temperament about her, making people feel even more captivated.
"Simply a celestial fairy."
Fourth Prince also generously gave a perfect evaluation, he seemed to feel that Third Miss now somewhat couldn't compare to Guxing, although Third Miss and Guxing were two different types, each with their own beauty, but in Fourth Prince's heart, Third Miss was a scholar, while Guxing was a warrior with absolute strong potential.
From the perspective of future development, Guxing completely defeated Third Miss, therefore, he felt Guxing was much stronger.
"Miss Guxing, very pleased to meet you, I am Fourth Prince Feng Xilie of Heavenly Wind Kingdom," Fourth Prince appeared before Guxing, introducing himself in a very friendly way that he thought was very charming.
"Hello, I'm called Guxing," Guxing replied indifferently, then said no more, quietly eating breakfast at the same table with Young Miss and the others.
Guxing was just like this, although she wouldn't not even reply, she wasn't that cold, but it was limited to just replying, there wouldn't be anything more.
"Is Miss Guxing friends with Miss Nangong and the others?" Fourth Prince very shamelessly inserted himself, seeming to want to get both Guxing and Third Miss.
Guxing replied indifferently, "No, I have no friends."
"..." Fourth Prince seemed not to have expected Guxing would answer like this, and when he felt strange, Young Miss and the others seemed not to care.
Could it be they really weren't friends, just people who knew each other.
Fourth Prince didn't know that Guxing wouldn't acknowledge anyone as her friend, because she felt that being her friend would have a tragic price, she was a Heavenly Fiend Guxing.
Young Miss and the others had already understood this matter, naturally they wouldn't feel there was a problem with Guxing's words, it wouldn't hurt their feelings, it would only make them feel Guxing was truly pitiable.
"Then you all..." Fourth Prince wanted to ask, but was interrupted.
"What exactly are you here to do, what does this matter have to do with you, why are you being such a gossip, could it be you're a woman?" Young Miss said very impolitely, among everyone here, only Young Miss would be this direct.
"Miss Mo Yu, please watch your tone, who do you think you're talking to," Fourth Prince originally already found Young Miss displeasing, now he almost wanted to draw his sword and hack someone.
"Isn't it just talking to a shameless person, who do you think it would be?" Young Miss said with a smile.
This was clearly pointing at a monk and cursing a bald donkey, who she was calling shameless was an obvious matter.
"You dare be disrespectful to me," Fourth Prince was angry.
"So what, dare to threaten your sister, your sister tells you, even if you were the king of Heavenly Wind Kingdom, it would be the same, let alone just a small prince, whether you can become this king is still uncertain, now you're being arrogant here, if you really became this king in the future, that would be terrible," Young Miss was not to be outdone, in her dictionary there was no such phrase as bowing her head in defeat, and she both disparaged and attacked, making Fourth Prince dare to be angry but not dare to speak.
"Good, good, you wait for me," Fourth Prince could only grit his teeth and speak harsh words.
"Wait for you for what, I don't have such idle time, I like what Xiaoyao said, I never hold grudges,” Young Miss suddenly said.
Hey, It seems it shouldn't be you holding a grudge, it's him holding the grudge, right.
"You don't hold grudges, why do I feel you're very vindictive?" Nangong Suxin said at this time.
Young Miss smiled and said, "Hehe, I don't hold grudges because I settle any grudges on the spot, never delay payment, unlike some people who keep their vengeful hearts hidden all day, truly despicable and vile."
"..."
Just when everyone felt speechless, a voice made everyone put down their affairs, even those who wanted to fight had to wait until later.
"Assemble."
The examiner's loud shout quickly gathered the remaining five hundred or so people, waiting for the examiner's announcement.
Rules and starting time.
"The second trial was already explained before, there's nothing to supplement, there are eight gates ahead, you can randomly choose one gate to enter, remember, please choose carefully, the things behind each gate are different, some make it very easy to get what you want, some make it very difficult."
"Also, each person can only bring out one token, if there are two, regardless of how strong anyone is, they are losers."
When everyone looked at the gates, they nodded, there were eight total, and each gate had a character written on it.
"Rest, Life, Injury, Block, Scene, Death, Shock, Open, Eight Gates. Isn't this the Eight Gates from Qimen Dunjia, could it be this is designed according to Taoist formations?"
Sharp-eyed people had already seen the naming pattern of these eight gates, but whether the inside was designed according to the Eight Gates formation, probably no one knew, however, everyone was still very careful in their selection.
"If it's the Eight Gates, then choosing Life should be the simplest, but is it really like that inside?" Fourth Prince frowned somewhat, in the blueprints he obtained, there were some designs, but it didn't seem to be the Eight Gates formation, could it be this was modified again.
It seemed now he couldn't rely on blueprints to pass the trials, he had to show his real abilities.
There was another point, these Eight Gates were really written plainly on top, could it be they wouldn't switch the Life Gate to Death Gate or other gates, there must be problems inside.
Fourth Prince pondered, the same as others, now the examiner hadn't said they must enter, just giving everyone time to consider this problem, which gate to enter depended on your own choice.
"Mo Yu, what should we choose?" Nangong Suxin asked.
"Whatever," Young Miss said indifferently.
"Third Sister, what do you think?" Nangong Suxin asked Third Miss beside her.
"I think choosing Life Gate should be the simplest, but because it's simple, more people will choose it, so it won't be simple," Third Miss said, "The person who designed this is very clever."
"That's right, actually we don't have much choice, there are only one hundred tokens inside, each gate probably has the same amount, if many people enter Life Gate, there will be more competition, it becomes difficult, conversely, other gates although slightly more difficult, but fewer people choose them, so there's less competition," Nangong Suxin murmured.
"Also, very few people will enter Death Gate, some people who feel their strength isn't enough will enter Death Gate to try their luck, this also gives some people with slightly weaker strength a chance to enter the next trial, it's very fair to everyone."
"Then what should we choose?" Young Miss asked, she didn't want to waste her brainpower, still leaving it to Nangong Suxin.
"To get complete victory, we'd better separate, still three people per group, each gate gets two groups, we should help each other, don't enter Death Gate, if there are extras, all go to Life Gate," Nangong Suxin said.
Each gate should have more than ten tokens, rather than competing among ourselves, it's better to compete with others, but whether we can win depends on heaven's will.
Nangong Suxin felt Death Gate shouldn't have too many tokens, Life Gate should have more, because the examiner designed this to see everyone's strength, and since everyone basically goes toward Life Gate, naturally there should be more tokens.
