Translator: 549690339

Great Gan, Jiang Prefecture, inside the whirlpool.

The golden-robed middle-aged man took out Chen Yang and the others ‘wooden tokens and used his spiritual energy to float them in front of everyone. Then, he looked at a seven-colored mussel beside him and said,” Clam king, please tell us how many pearls you have produced.””

“Eh eh eh!”

The Spirit Eared Fox quickly translated,””The Clam King said that it produced a total of 90 pearls.”

“Ninety?” The golden-robed man’s gaze shifted to the floating wooden tokens. At the same time, he called out to the other higher-ups of the royal family.” Everyone, come and take a look.”

Hearing this, the royal family’s big shots gathered their gazes on the wooden token.

The Commandery Prince of De ‘an glanced at them briefly and then nodded.” They’re not bad. They’re not too ridiculous.”

“Look at Zhou Yingjian. The answer he gave was fifty-three pills, which is the closest to the correct answer I have seen.”

“Loyalty Marquis, you have a good grandson.”

Hearing the praise from the others, the loyal and righteous Marquis ‘old face creased together happily.” Hahaha, everyone, you flatter me. Little Sun is just lucky. Maybe there is also someone who is closer to the correct answer.”

“You don’t say. There really is.”

Hearing this, the loyal duke’s smile froze and he quickly asked,””Who is it?”

“It’s Prince De’s great-grandson, Zhou Ying Lan. His answer is eighty-three.”

When the loyal Marquis heard this, although he was somewhat unwilling, he still looked at Prince De with a smile.” Congratulations Prince De, Ying Lan has locked in a spot as a judge.”

“Not at all. Ying Jian isn’t bad either. At the very least, he can get a spot.”Prince De could not hide the smugness on his face.

“Look here!” Suddenly, the Duke of De ‘an seemed to have discovered something extraordinary and hurriedly called out to everyone.

“De An, what is it?” Prince De hurriedly asked.

“Prince De, look here. Someone actually guessed the correct answer.”The Duke of De ‘an said in disbelief.

There was actually someone who could count the number of pearls. It seemed that the royal family was going to give birth to another genius.

“Who is this person? He actually has such keen observation skills.”

“Haha, it seems that our Royal Family is going to give birth to another genius. Duke De ‘an, quickly take a look at whose child this is.”

“Alright, let me see.” The Duke of De An smiled as he looked at the name on the back of the wooden tablet. However, the smile on his face instantly froze.

“Duke De ‘an, what’s wrong? What’s there to be stunned about looking at a name?”

“This…” “It’s Chen Yang,” the Duke of De ‘an said with a strange expression.” “Who is it? Chen Yang?”

“This… Are you sure you didn’t see wrongly? It’s Yang Chen?”

The Commandery Prince of De ‘an confirmed it again and again, and then said,””I didn’t see wrongly. It’s indeed Yang Chen.”

Hearing this, everyone gasped. They could see the shock in each other’s eyes.

None of them had expected Yang Chen to be the one to answer the question.

Especially those who didn’t believe that Yang Chen could get the spot, their faces were filled with shame.

However, in the blink of an eye, this shame disappeared and was replaced by a smile.” Deshun Commandery Prince, congratulations. You have accepted a good disciple.”

“That’s right. When Chen Yang becomes the Purple Mansion in the future, he will definitely become a powerful helper for your Deshun Prince’s Mansion.”

“This Deshun Commandery Prince is not only powerful, but he also has a good eye on people. If it were you or me, would you accept a ninth rank family head as a disciple?”

As a big shot of the royal family, it was a must to learn how to change one’s expression. The Deshun Commandery Prince was already used to it and similarly answered everyone with a smile.

“Not at all, not at all. Little disciple was just lucky.”

“No, no, 1 was just lucky.”

Seeing that everyone was still praising him, the golden-robed middle-aged man coughed.” Cough cough, everyone, if there are no objections, I will announce the results.”

“Go, go. Don’t let the children wait anxiously.”

“That’s right.”

The golden-robed middle-aged man nodded when he saw that no one was refuting him. With a flick of his sleeve, he kept the wooden tokens back into his sleeve and then turned around to announce the result.

Chen Yang and the others.

Seeing that the golden-robed man had not returned for a long time, everyone was a little flustered.

Could it be that something unexpected had happened that caused them to not be allowed to be judges? Or could it be that something had happened that caused the big shots to lose their composure?

This kind of panic did not last long. After the middle-aged man arrived, the panic turned into anticipation and curiosity.

Everyone hoped that their answer was the closest to the correct answer, because this was related to the generous reward.

The golden-robed middle-aged man swept his gaze across the crowd and said,””The results are out. The five judges are Zhou Yinglan, Zhou Yingjian, Zhou Yingzhao, Zhou Yingping, and Chen Yang.”

As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar.

They weren’t doubting the result, but they were curious about the correct number.

This was because the answers given by Chen Yang and Zhou Yingjian differed by nearly 40 points. With both of them being selected at the same time, how could one not be curious about the correct answer?

When the middle-aged man saw this, he also understood what everyone meant. He immediately said,”The correct answer this time is 90.”

“It’s actually 90!” A royal disciple exclaimed.

Yang Chen looked over and found that this person was the one who had argued with Zhou Ying Lan earlier.

“This… How is this possible?” The man swallowed his saliva and said in disbelief,” Yang Chen didn’t miss a single one!”

“What did you say?” Hearing this, Zhou Yingjian hurriedly looked at that person.” What do you mean by not missing a single pill?”

Seeing this, that person calmed down and said,”Yang Chen’s answer is 90 crystals, which is exactly the same as the correct answer.”

“What?”

“How is this possible?”

The royal family looked at Yang Chen in shock. They knew better than anyone how many pearls there were.

But now, there was actually a person who didn’t have a bad pill. How did he do it!

Unfortunately, no one told them the answer. After the results of the selection were announced, the golden-robed man sent the others away, leaving only five people who passed the selection.

Looking at these five people, the golden-robed man slowly said,””First of all, congratulations on passing the selection. Secondly, you don’t have to worry about the referee. With us watching from the side, you’re just going through the motions.”

“After the battle is over, you can leave after receiving your rewards.”

Yang Chen and the others nodded.

The development of the matter was indeed as the golden-robed man had said. With the supervision of the demon emperors and the royal family’s big shots, there were no accidents in the competition.

Yang Chen and the other four just repeated the beginning and end mechanically.

Three days later, the competition for the Red Dragon Jade officially ended. In the end, the Blackwater Dragon’s descendant won.

After the flood dragon took the Red Dragon Jade, it quickly left the river. When the other demon emperors saw this, they secretly followed, clearly unwilling to give up.

Seeing this, the royal family’s ancestor did not refuse because his original intention was to let these demon emperors leave Da Qian. As for the ownership of the Red Dragon Jade, the royal family’s ancestor really did not care..
