Concubine Liu Guifei had made many insinuations before, trying to get Gu Nianen to decide on the marriage, but he was worried about the Duke of Zhen, so he didn't agree. Now, he just went along with the flow and agreed to this marriage.
"I am quite optimistic about this eldest lady of the Gu family."
"Oh?" The emperor looked surprised, "It's rare to see you compliment others."
Yu Xianchi smiled lightly and said nothing.
The emperor took in all his expressions and couldn't help but take another look at Gu Niansheng. She was indeed a stunning beauty.
Soon, the assessment was announced to begin.
The initial assessment is the same as the intermediate assessment. Because there are too many people, it is a team battle at the beginning.
Gu Niansheng drew his number 16. The lot was drawn in groups of ten people, and half of them were left in the end.
She drew the number 16, which means that the practitioners from the 11th to the 20th will attend the same competition stage.
"Nian Sheng, be careful with everything." Gu Hongzhen warned.
Gu Niansheng nodded, "I'm going."
Stepping onto the second competition stage, Gu Niansheng was also looking at the other nine people, and suddenly found Xia Yingxuan among them.
She knew Xia Yingxuan, she was Grand Master Xia's daughter. She had heard of Xia Yingxuan's reputation back then, and she was a woman of the younger generation who could compare with Gu Nianen.
Not only that, she and Zhu Jinyao had conflicts and had a bad relationship.
Team battles are the most chaotic, so it is best to join forces with others, otherwise alone, even if you are stronger, your opponent may join forces and push you off the stage.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Even though Xia Yingxuan didn't know her, Gu Niansheng also felt that she was a good partner.
"Miss Xia." Gu Niansheng walked up to Xia Yingxuan and said straight to the point: "How about joining forces?"
Xia Yingxuan didn't know Gu Niansheng, but she had heard of her reputation a long time ago. She couldn't help but frowned and asked suspiciously: "Why?"
"With your strength and mine, staying is not a problem. It's just that Your Majesty is performing better at the moment." Gu Niansheng said casually, "If you don't want to, that's okay."
The team battle becomes chaotic, and there is a high possibility that they will stay, but there is no guarantee of an unexpected situation. Once they join forces, it won't be difficult to deal with it with the strength of the two of them.
Xia Yingxuan was slightly startled. She had always thought that the eldest daughter of the Gu family was just a fool. She was said to be the real eldest daughter, but she was always suppressed by Gu Nianen. In the end, even the marriage contract that originally belonged to her had to be given up.
She just felt that this woman was so useless that she couldn't even keep her most important marriage.
It wasn't until she heard her talking that she suddenly realized that this woman was different from what she thought.
But in her current situation, it would undoubtedly be best if someone joined forces, but it might drag down Gu Niansheng.
Just when she hesitated, Gu Niansheng's voice came.
"If you don't find a helper, this level will not be easy for you!"
As soon as these words came out, Xia Yingxuan's expression suddenly changed. Unexpectedly, Gu Niansheng saw this and wanted to join forces with her.
"Why do you want to help me?"
"Let's talk about it after we win."
"good."
"The team battle begins!"
Following the referee's order, the atmosphere on all competition stages became tense.
