Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 1067 The Competition
At last, everyone turned to look at Sabina. Since she hadn't said anything from just now, it seemedthat she had something on her mind. But since she was the main person involved, they had to gether consent.
Seeing that they were all looking at her with expectant eyes, Sabina just said, "It's up to you,” andleft.
Everyone knew that although Sabina looked very calm on the outside, she must be feeling under alot of pressure. After all, whether this plan was a success or a failure would decide her fate as well asthe fate of the entire Ji Clan.
Rocky narrowed his eyes as he watched Sabina's receding figure. "I'll go and talk to her," he said tothe others before getting up and following her.
After walking out of Lance's study room, Sabina zoomed through the headquarters by leaping ontoroofs and vaulting over walls until she finally arrived at a secret rain flower garden on the south sideof the headquarters.
At that moment, the breeze blew, scattering the white and red petals on the branches into the air.The petals fluttered around the whole garden and fell slowly, like the rain. Sabina stood in themiddle of the garden, staring off into space with a helpless look on her face. Anyone who saw hernow couldn't help feeling sorry for her, especially because she was such a strong woman whoalmost never showed her weak side.
The expression on her face indicated that the pressure she was under now was far from ordinary."What are you thinking about?" Rocky asked in a gentle tone as he slowly walked towards her. Hehad followed her all the way to this garden, letting her be alone with her thoughts for a while beforefinally approaching her.
Sabina turned towards the source of the voice and saw that it was Rocky's. Then, she turned awayagain with an unreadable expression. "Why are you here?"
"I'm the reason why the Ji Clan has fallen into such a predicament this time. Now that Alston istrying to use such a despicable method to deal with the Ji Clan, there's no way I can just sit by anddo nothing. Moreover, you've always supported me. I will never let you have any grievances,” Rockysaid with a smile.
"Who has grievances? I'm not as delicate or fragile as you think I am. I just feel that I'm not strongenough to help. The Ji Clan is in trouble, but there's nothing I can do." Sabina shook her headlightly.
"There is no need for you to carry the burden alone. After all, you are a woman. There will always betimes when you need to rely on others, but you should know how to rely on them," Rockyexplained.
"Rely on others? But who can I..."
"I don't want to take advantage of you. But I just want to tell you that I will support you and let youlean on my shoulder when you need to. So, don't be too hard on yourself," Rocky said softly. Then,he leaned back and continued in a more serious tone, "You should go back to the Ji Clan first. Talkto your father as we discussed. If there are no other problems, we'll just follow this plan.”
Sabina bit her lip and shook her head. "I know what you have in mind, but it's very dangerous foryou. You can't."
But before Sabina could finish her words, Rocky covered her mouth with his palm.
"That's my own business. I know what I'm doing," Rocky said firmly.
Sabina nodded slightly, but her eyes were trembling, as if something had touched her deep in herheart.
Two days later, Sabina returned to the Ji Clan and immediately told her father, Elvis, about the plan.Elvis nodded as he listened to the plan. Although it sounded feasible to him, he still had somemisgivings. "This plan might solve our most pressing problem for the time being, but there areseveral masters at the peak of the Supernal Stage in the royal family. We can't underestimate theirstrength. Even in the Ji Clan, there may not be a master who will be able to fight against thosemasters at the peak grade.”
"That's still better than directly agreeing to the marriage without a fight. And above all, I trust him!"Sabina said firmly.
For a moment, Elvis was stunned. ""Him'? Do you mean... Are you really sure about this?" he askedafter some hesitation, and looked at his daughter for confirmation. Sabina nodded solemnly inresponse.
"This might be a risky move.
But okay, I'll send someone to spread the news of the competition and officially invite the royalfamily and all forces to participate in it.” Seeing that Sabina had made up her mind, Elvis had nochoice but to agree to the plan.
The next day, the news of the Ji Clans open competition for Sabina's hand in marriage spreadthrough the entire Holy Dragon Empire like wildfire. Just as they had expected, it caused a greatsensation, and the various forces that received the Ji Clan's invitation naturally supported thiscompetition. Everyone knew that whoever had the golden opportunity of marrying Sabina wouldimmediately shoot to the top in terms of wealth and status.
On the other hand, the royal family was far from pleased after receiving the invitation to competefor Sabina's hand in marriage.
"Your Majesty, the Ji Clan is really not easy to deal with. They've even come up with such a plan toget rid of the arranged marriage. Now, all the clans that have received the invitation will certainlyside with the Ji Clan. If Your Majesty insists on the arranged marriage, the royal family will look likethe villains in the eyes of the whole Holy Dragon Empire,” Priest Dean said seriously.
"Humph! A competition for her hand in marriage? So what? Even if a peerless master at the DivineStage is not allowed to participate, I'm pretty sure that a Supernal Stage master from our royalfamily will defeat all the competitors! Ask Elder Duke to select several masters of the advanced levelat the Supernal Stage and also the top nine-grade masters in person. In addition, ask Jason to gowith them. It's best that they bring the empress back. Go and tell them that nothing should gowrong this time. Otherwise, don't come back to see me!" Alston ordered coldly.
Priest Dean nodded obediently and left.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the day of the competition that the Ji Clan washolding arrived.
It was early in the morning, but the Ji Clan's mansion was already overcrowded. It looked even morelively than the day when Elvis' birthday party had been held.
Many unmarried spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage and the Supernal Stage flocked to the JiClan's mansion in order to compete for the chance to win over the unparalleled beauty of the HolyDragon Empire. Among them, the spirit manipulators from the other major clans were particularlyconfident, because they had absolute advantage in both strength and numbers.
At this moment, a spectacular battle ring that was thirty by thirty meters had been set up on thesouthwest side of the Ji Clan's mansion. More than anything, it was to ensure the safety of thespectators, because if all the competitors were masters at the Supernal Stage, even a casual movewould be able to affect people who were standing over twenty meters away. Therefore, the Ji Clanhad arranged for a battle ring that was big enough to avoid any accidents.
