"Yo, isn't this the North American County Princess? I didn't expect you to be here so early. Are you aiming for the championship?"
As they were talking, a woman walked over, accompanied by a group of guards. Her presence was no less imposing than the North American County Princess's, carrying an air of authority.
"So it's Zhao Xueqi, I thought it was someone else!" the North American County Princess said coldly. "If I'm not mistaken, you're here to win first place in this polo match, aren't you? But with me here, don't even think about it!"
"The North American County Princess speaks so arrogantly. As everyone knows, on the entire polo field, no one can compare to my Zhao family!" Zhao Xueqi chuckled. "Does the North American County Princess not know this, or is she deliberately provoking me!"
"That's probably your Zhao family being arrogant to say such things!" the North American County Princess said coldly. "I have never admitted that your Zhao family is the first in polo in the entire royal city!"
"This is a recognized fact, and it doesn't require the North American County Princess's approval."
Zhao Xueqi stated directly, "For years, the polo matches have always followed the lead of my Zhao family. This is an undeniable matter, doesn't the County Princess know?"
"This time it's different. I have several masters, and we will definitely win the polo match. By then, the Royal Mansion will be the true polo champion, not your Zhao family!" the North American County Princess's voice was icy.
The reason Zhao Xueqi dared to challenge him was because the Zhao family's influence was immense, even comparable to the Royal City. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so bold, and his heart was filled with displeasure.
"Whether you can win it back depends on your abilities. However, it's not yet the time for you to brag in front of me, North American County Princess. It will inevitably lead to gossip from others," Zhao Xueqi chuckled. "But since the County Princess has already said so, let's see whose skills prevail and who can control everything!"
The North American County Princess remained silent, merely observing, her anger growing. Zhao Xueqi's words clearly showed disdain for him, but the North American County Princess didn't pay too much attention to Zhao Xueqi.
After Zhao Xueqi left, the North American County Princess looked at Lu Fan and the others. "You can all play your best. As long as you win first place in the polo match, no matter what conditions you propose, I will fulfill them. After all, in my vast Royal Mansion, there should be things you desire!"
Everyone nodded, their eyes filled with excitement. To receive such recognition from the North American County Princess was a great fortune for them.
Arriving on the polo field, Lu Fan single-handedly controlled the polo ball as if he were in an empty realm. In the blink of an eye, he defeated an entire polo team, appearing effortless, as if he wasn't taking it seriously at all.
"Too amazing, too amazing! Truly worthy of being from my Royal Mansion!" The North American County Princess clapped her hands vigorously, her face beaming with joy. At the same time, she kept glancing at Zhao Xueqi with a meaningful expression.
Zhao Xueqi stood frozen, her brow furrowed. The North American County Princess's arrogance made her very displeased. However, when her Zhao family's polo team entered the field, she would make the North American County Princess regret it.
"County Princess, shouldn't we be a bit more low-key!" some people beside her spoke up, their faces a little embarrassed. "After all, our Royal City hasn't won first place yet. If something goes wrong later, we'll be disgraced!"
"What are you talking about? Our Royal City's team will never lose. If we lose, it won't be just about disgrace!" the North American County Princess said earnestly, her voice laced with anger, as if she cared deeply about this matter.
The person quickly shut his mouth, not daring to say another word. Being spoken to like that by the North American County Princess, if he dared to spout nonsense again, he would surely face consequences.
On the entire polo field, Lu Fan moved as if in an empty realm. It seemed as if all the polo balls could be spun at his command. After playing only a few matches, he had already defeated several teams, instantly becoming a dominant force on the field. It seemed no one could snatch the polo ball from Lu Fan.
"It seems I didn't choose the wrong person!" the North American County Princess smiled. "If this trend continues, dealing with the Zhao family's polo team will be a mere formality!"
"You have quite the big mouth. When the time comes to truly compete, it might not be like this!"
Zhao Xueqi sneered, her gaze appearing indifferent, as if in her eyes, all of this was not worth mentioning.
Meanwhile, the North American County Princess remained unfazed. At least in her opinion, Lu Fan possessed such capabilities.
Zhao Xueqi furrowed her brow and looked at a man beside her. "Tie Tou, do you have the confidence to take this kid down? When you face him, you absolutely cannot lose, otherwise, our Zhao family's banner will be lost!"
"Miss, rest assured. I always act with discretion. Although this kid's polo skills are good, if I make a move secretly, he probably won't be able to handle it," Tie Tou smiled slightly, his eyes becoming sharper.
"If we are truly about to lose, you can use some special methods!"
Zhao Xueqi narrowed her eyes. "Just remember one thing, no matter when, you must protect our Zhao family's banner. Only then can I feel at ease!"
"Miss, rest assured, I will never disappoint you!" Tie Tou nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face, as if in his eyes, all of this could be controlled by him.
At the same time, not far from the polo field, several figures were present. One of them was the Situ Family Head. "This kid is getting close to the North American County Princess. It's likely he'll be able to approach the Ninth Prince soon. What should we do then?"
"We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Fortunately, things haven't happened yet!" Steward Zhao said. "However, after this polo match, if he manages to get a ranking, it won't be good for us!"
"Since that's the case, why don't we interfere!" the Situ Family Head narrowed his eyes. "As long as we can make this kid lose, the North American County Princess will naturally not think highly of him, and then he'll have nowhere to turn!"
"There are many eyes and ears here, and experts are everywhere. Trying to make a move here is harder than climbing to heaven!" Steward Zhao shook his head. "I heard that the Zhao family has a polo master who can dominate the entire polo field. With him around, this matter is not to be feared!"
"I see!" the Situ Family Head nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face.
He was initially a little worried, but now it seemed his worries were unfounded. Indeed, the entire Royal City was a major polo hub, with many extremely skilled polo masters. Someone like Lu Fan was not to be feared and was not worth paying attention to at all.
