Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander-Chapter 390: Where’s the Surprise?

Yan Yao changed the subject, asking Yan Qianyi, "By the way, how is your wedding preparation with Mu Yunlie going? Have you set the date yet?"

Yan Qianyi avoided eye contact, picked up her teacup, and took a sip, "Not yet."

Since Mu Yunlie had not told his brother that they had already parted, perhaps he was considering the ongoing diplomatic agreements between the two nations.

Because of her relationship with Mu Yunlie, her brother was particularly concerned about the agreement between the two nations.

So, it wasn’t the right time to discuss these matters with her brother.

After dinner, Yan Yao sent someone to take them back.

On the way back, Mai Hunter looked deeply troubled, his brow furrowed.

Yan Qianyi comforted him, "Although we didn’t find out anything from my brother, at least it’s proven that it wasn’t my brother who turned her against us. And since my brother said he would investigate, he will definitely get to the bottom of this."

Mai Hunter nodded his head.

Indeed, the trip wasn’t completely fruitless.

Over the next few days, Yan Qianyi continued to excel and conquer.

Whether in the Special Department’s competitions or in the Medical Department’s, her momentum was fierce.

Finally, the nasty rumors and gossip could no longer be heard.

Nobody dared to question her ability anymore.

And now that it was confirmed she was Prince Yao’s sister, almost everyone was trying to curry favor with her.

Other than Ning Nuan, who was eliminated in the first round, Yan Qianyi had not seen her since.

Finally, the day of the final championship arrived.

Yun Mu regrettably didn’t make it to the finals.

But he still came to the venue every day to cheer for Yan Qianyi.

As Yan Qianyi prepared to go onstage, he reminded her, "The person you’re about to fight has a high Spiritual Power Value. When I fought him, he could directly suppress my spiritual power, which means his Spiritual Power Value is at least over seventy."

Mai Hunter looked worried but didn’t add much, only saying, "Qianyi, you’ve already made it to the top three, there’s no need to force it. If you can’t win, it’s fine, winning second place is already quite impressive. Just don’t get hurt."

Yan Qianyi nodded and walked towards the arena.

Mai Hunter watched her retreating figure and sighed, filled with regret that he hadn’t been able to awaken Yan Qianyi’s special ability.

In the previous matches, Yan Qianyi’s opponents had Spiritual Power Values that never exceeded sixty.

So she had directly used her spiritual power to suppress them, leaving them unable to use their special abilities and defeating them with physical fighting skills.

But now, the opponent she faced had a not-so-low Spiritual Power Value.

According to Yun Mu’s estimate, the opponent’s Spiritual Power Value was at least seventy-six.

Although this was slightly lower than Yan Qianyi’s, the opponent had awakened his special ability.

Without a special ability, Yan Qianyi, even with great fighting skills, would be at a disadvantage.

At this point, Mai Hunter had no hope left; he only wished that Yan Qianyi wouldn’t overexert herself and suffer less.

He couldn’t even bear to look up at the stage now.

Yan Qianyi’s journey to this point had attracted everyone’s attention.

Although people from other nations didn’t know that she hadn’t awakened her special ability yet, she had never used one to date.

So, people were starting to speculate that she might not have a special ability.

If it were confirmed in front of her opponent that she hadn’t awakened her special ability yet, honestly, it would be quite embarrassing.

The more glorious her previous victories, the more embarrassing this would be.

After all, normally, people with a Spiritual Power Value of forty should have awakened their special ability.

On the competition field, Yan Qianyi calmly stared at the boy standing opposite her.

The boy was tall, likely close to two meters.

Standing opposite him, Yan Qianyi looked like a tiny figure.

Everyone was watching the stage without blinking.

The boy had used his special skill in the previous competition.

His special skill was ice, which allowed him to instantly cool the air around him and condense the ambient moisture into ice.

Yan Qianyi had never used her special skill.

Everyone was eager to see what her special skill would be.

In the leaders’ section of the audience,

a commander of a small country said, "This student from the Federation Empire has never used her special ability, I’m really curious what it is."

Another person couldn’t wait and asked, "Prince Yao, can you reveal to us what your sister’s special ability is?"

Yan Yao didn’t answer, his face a bit embarrassed.

Qianyi had told him before that her special ability had not awakened.

He hadn’t asked recently.

But since his sister hadn’t taken the initiative to tell him, it probably hadn’t awakened.

Otherwise, given that girl’s personality, she surely would have eagerly shared her joy.

Andelle saw the worry on Yan Yao’s face. frёeωebɳovel.com

Mai Hunter of the Morris Empire had already secured the third-place finish.

Now that Yan Qianyi’s opponent wasn’t from their Morris Empire, she, too, hoped that Yan Qianyi could win.

But if Yan Qianyi’s special ability still hadn’t awakened...

Andelle gently placed her hand on Yan Yao’s, whispering in comfort, "It’s okay, Qianyi has already performed very well."

The match began.

The boy looked at Yan Qianyi, who smiled confidently, "I’ve finally got the chance to fight you, come on, let me see what your special ability is."

Yan Qianyi smiled slyly, "Then I won’t hold back."

As soon as she finished speaking, she charged at the boy with great speed, but did not use any special ability.

The boy remained calm, raised his palm, and instantly formed ice spikes around him, flying towards Yan Qianyi.

Yan Qianyi immediately stopped her charge, twisting her body to dodge.

"You’ve got good moves," the boy complimented.

But he was still not panicking.

He had watched Yan Qianyi’s previous matches and thought she must not have awakened her special ability since she hadn’t used it.

Their spiritual power values weren’t much different.

Though Yan Qianyi was skilled, if she didn’t have a special ability, even the best skills were no match for him.

The boy continued to manipulate his spiritual power, freezing Yan Qianyi in mid-air.

The ice around Yan Qianyi grew thicker, and she was entirely encased, unable to move.

The referee began the countdown.

If Yan Qianyi didn’t respond in twenty seconds, it would be considered a loss.

Seeing this, the commander from the boy’s country stood up excitedly, "Haha! She hasn’t awakened her special ability yet!"

He proudly looked at Mu Yunlie, "It seems this year’s champion of the Special Department is undoubtedly ours."

Mu Yunlie remained composed, unmoved.

Standing next to him, Pei Yuexuan, as well as Yan Yao and Andelle, were all frantic, worried that Yan Qianyi might get hurt.

Less than ten seconds remained, and Yan Qianyi still showed no response.

Mu Yunlie looked at her, now turned into an ice sculpture, and worry gradually appeared in his eyes.

That night at the dinner, she had told him her special ability had already awakened.

At the time, she coyly refused to reveal what it was, saying she wanted to keep it a surprise.

Where was the surprise?

Why wasn’t she moving yet?
