My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

After the semi-finals, there would be two days off before the finals of the Six Major Sects’ Grand Competition.

The Eight Extremes Sect’s results this time still weren’t satisfactory. There were only five people entering the finals, and was still the bottom of the number of people who entered the finals among the Six Sects.

The only thing that was more gratifying was that there weren’t any less competitions.

Lou Mu Yan entered the finals of all six competitions, Di Shi Tian entered the finals in array and smithing, Zi Che Shi in talisman and smithing, Luo Cheng in alchemy, and another pupil in smithing.

In previous years, they would’ve long been eliminated in taming, talisman, and arrays. This time, with the presence of Lou Mu Yan, Zi Che Shi, and Di Shi Tian, it gave Headmaster Feng and Huo Ling Long more hope.

Di Shi Tian’s array and Zi Che Shi’s talisman were considered outstanding among the pupils of the Six Major Sects. If other Sects didn’t have any hidden geniuses in these skills, then they even had hope of winning the top three.

The day before the finals, Headmaster Feng gathered the five people together again.

“The five of you are the hope of our Eight Extremes Sect within the Six Major Sects’ Grand Competition. No matter what, you must all strive for the top three.” Headmaster Feng looked at the several people with hope and said.

The finals weren’t for the top ten, but for the top six. There was no top ten in the six competitions.

The pupils who entered the top six all had joint rewards from the Six Major Sects, but there was a difference among each ranking.

“Pupil will live up to the high expectations.” The several people said in unison.

Headmaster Feng praised and encouraged the several people again, then smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum, looking at Lou Mu Yan as lovingly as possible.

“Lou girl, has your alchemy skill reached Grade 5?”

“Headmaster Feng is worried that I will be kicked below the top five by Bai Fei Yao or Wei Yu?” Lou Mu Yan asked without answering.

There were twelve pupils participating in each competition and they were divided perfectly into two groups for the competition. The top three of the two groups would compete against each other again.

If one was unlucky, they might meet those two geniuses in the very first round, so even though Headmaster Feng was filled with smiles, but the worry in his heart hadn’t dissipated.

“Aye! You’re a smart girl. Based on your strength, if you don’t meet the two of them, you should have a chance to compete for the top three.” Headmaster Feng said with a sigh.

Lou Mu Yan chuckled and said confidently: “But I sure wanted to met one of them in the first round of the competition. Wouldn’t that be more challenging, no?”

She had noticed a gaze of disgust and hatred following her since the beginning of the Alchemy Competition. After some observation, she discovered that the look came from Bai Fei Yao who didn’t have much contact with her at all.

If there was any interaction at all, then that was at the Tian’yuan Auction that day when she snatched the wind element attribute Comprehension Stone from her—but the winner of an auction was whoever could pay the highest price, so if that girl hated her just because of that, it meant that the other party was too narrow-minded.

If Bai Fei Yao was determined to provoke her, then she could only slap the woman in the face with thunderous means.

And she also discovered a very interesting thing—Bai Fei Yao and Bai Luo Yin looked around fifty to sixty percent similar. From Mo Yan, she discovered that the two were actually sisters from different mothers.

“…” Headmaster Feng felt quite dreary and speechless when he heard her words, but he still smiled and said: “Either way, you’ll still meet. It’ll still be a challenge if you meet in the final finals, but if you meet in the first round, you mustn’t take it lightly.”

Lou Mu Yan hadn’t answered yet when Huo Ling Long couldn’t stand his long-winded words anymore, “Enough, the girl knows better than you on how to act.”

“Little girl, don’t be soft on that Bai Fei Yao if you meet her. I can see that she’s very hostile towards you.” Huo Ling Long also accidentally saw Bai Fei Yao showing killing intent towards Lou Mu Yan earlier, so she wanted to remind her.

Lou Mu Yan nodded: “Bai Fei Yao and I just had one encounter at the auction but she hates me so much. I’m a person who doesn’t like to leave troubles for the future, so I’ll ‘greet’ her well when the time comes.”

“Good! As long as you don’t play her to death, anything’s fine.” Huo Ling Long’s peerlessly gorgeous face revealed a satisfied smile.

That Bai Fei Yao who was pretending to be some white lotus that wasn’t stained at all by mud really looked too unpleasant.

“…” Hearing the two unscrupulously discussing how to ‘greet’ Bai Fei Yao, Headmaster Feng and the other four couldn’t resist twitching their lips.

The finals haven’t even arrived yet, was it really good to discuss whether or not to play that peerless genius of the Heavenly Secret Palace to death or not?

“Lou girl! It’s not only Bai Fei Yao and Wei Yu, you also need to pay attention to the other competitors. I secretly found that this time each Sect has secret trump card pupils hidden, so this competition will be crueller than previous competitions.” Headmaster Feng was afraid that Lou Mu Yan would underestimate her enemy, so he emphasised again.

Lou Mu Yan smiled helplessly and said: “Don’t worry, Headmaster Feng. I will work hard to win the championship even if just for the Six Major Sects, Eight Extremes Sect, and my Master’s rewards.”

Headmaster Feng’s smiling face froze. So it turned out that the purpose for this girl being so high-profile and wanting to win the championship wasn’t to win glory for the Sect, but to go for those rewards. Could we not be so realistic…

The other four also didn’t understand Lou Mu Yan. They wanted to compete for the top five mainly to be a blockbuster, so that their efforts weren’t in vain, to receive the recognition of everyone, and to bring face for the Eight Extremes Sect.

Of course, the rewards of the competition were also very tempting, but good things weren’t easy to get. They were just holding onto a glimmer of hope, but it was as if she was filled with confidence.

Headmaster Feng originally wanted to say a few more words, but seeing that Lou Mu Yan was still lazy, nonchalant, and didn’t worry about the finals, he was speechless.

After speaking to them a bit more, Headmaster Feng kept Luo Cheng behind and let the others return.

Before the finals, pupils from the other Sects came to visit Lou Mu Yan, but were all rejected by Huo Ling Long.

Two days later, the finals of the Six Major Sect’s finally arrived.

The competition arena in the Heavenly Secret Palace was unprecedentedly lively, and many pupils who were completing missions outside all rushed back, including many old pupils from the Inner Sect that generally weren’t seen. They also came to watch the battle with great interest.

The opening scene was still an enthusiastic encouragement by the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Secret Palace, then it was the chief referee’s turn to announce the rules.

“This time the Six Major Sects’ Grand Competition is divided into six competitions, and each is divided into two major rounds.

“The first round is divided into two groups, and the top three of the two groups would finally enter the second round. The second round is also a competition for the top three.

“Considering that some pupils participated in two or more competitions at the same time, we decided to conduct each competition separately in turn. After one competition has determined the top six, we will move onto the next competition.

“The order of the six competitions will be determined by drawing lots, and the order of the pupils in the first round will also be determined by drawing your own lots.”

The chief referee waved his sleeves and six balls of different colours spread out in front of him. He randomly grabbed one and crushed it, then crushed the remaining five balls in turn.

The small ball instantly turned into a piece of black text that appeared on the crystal wall of the competition arena. On it said array, taming, talisman, alchemy, smithing, and strength competition.

“Alright, the first is the Array Competition. All pupils of the Six Sects who are participating in this competition, go to the centre of the battle arena and draw lots to prepare for the competition.”

Lou Mu Yan and Di Shi Tian walked to the arena together—success or failure was about to be clear.
