Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 1773: How Is That Possible?!

Arriving at nearly the same time as Su Chen and the others were Fourth Prince Ning Xuan, Zhang Yue from Wind and Cloud Academy, and several of his subordinates!

Upon seeing Su Chen, this Fourth Prince naturally returned a cold stare, with a gleam in his eyes as sharp as a blade!

When Zhang Yue saw Su Chen, his heart trembled, as Su Chen was the only one who knew the true story!

He knew that his previous claims would be immediately debunked if Su Chen spoke, but he really had no face to expose such an embarrassing truth!

Su Chen naturally didn't know about Zhang Yue's lies; even if he did, he wouldn't care, as he saw the other party as of little importance!

However, this Fourth Prince had tried to kill him several times, as if he thought Su Chen was easily molded clay?!

Of course, he wasn't foolish enough to act here!

At this moment, a middle-aged man not far away was tallying the scores for everyone. Ning Rui and Su Chen exchanged words and went over as well.

Arriving around the same time were Fourth Prince Ning Xuan and two other noble youths. After reaching the table, Fourth Prince Ning Xuan glanced at the records of everyone's scores on the desk.

His primary focus was naturally on a few princes, more specifically, the First Prince and the Second Prince!

Upon seeing their scores, Ning Xuan's lips curled into a proud smile!

Although their scores were decent, there was still a noticeable gap compared to his own!

Then, he took out his Demon Beast Inner Pills and placed them on the table. Seeing those Pill, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up and said:

"Fourth Prince, Your Highness, you might just secure the first place this year!"

"Oh, not at all!"

Ning Xuan feigned humility with a smile, although he was quite confident internally!

He called Zhang Yue over both to foster connections like Ning Rui did with Su Chen and to aim for the first place, overshadowing the other princes!

The two or three men who accompanied them looked at Ning Xuan with faces full of admiration and envy!

"Third Prince, how about yours?"

The middle-aged man then turned to Ning Rui and asked with a smile.

Third Prince Ning Rui responded by taking out his Demon Beast Inner Pills.

"How is this possible?!"

Upon seeing the Inner Pills Ning Rui revealed, Ning Xuan immediately exclaimed in shock, his face instantly changing!

Not only him, but the middle-aged man and the other two or three individuals also widened their eyes in disbelief at Ning Rui!

If Ning Rui had only slightly surpassed the others, they would not be so astonished, after all, Ning Rui and his subordinates were quite capable!

In reality, the difference was far greater!

Not only in quantity, but also in rank there was an unmatched difference!

Not to mention anything else, just those dozen Demon Beast Inner Pills from the Tongxuan Realm were already enough, and to top it off, there was one from the Fourth Turn of the Tongxuan Realm!

"This Fourth Turn Demon Beast Inner Pill was from a beast that happened to be gravely injured, so I managed to seize the opportunity easily."

Ning Rui explained with a smile, which was advised by Su Chen.

"Oh, I see!"

The middle-aged man nodded, looking at Fourth Prince Ning Xuan somewhat apologetically, given his previous comment estimating Ning Xuan might take first place!

At this point, needless to say, first place undoubtedly belongs to Third Prince Ning Rui, with no suspense at all!

Although Third Prince Ning Rui wasn't particularly passionate about the position, nor did he originally aim for first, at this point he wasn't about to give away the glory belonging to him!

A little while later, everyone had returned except Cheng Hai, who wasn't particularly noticeable, so not many paid attention to him.

Next, the middle-aged man began announcing everyone's scores!

Of course, different Demon Beast ranks had different points.

At this moment, the Monarch, the Princes, the Marquises, and the ministers began listening carefully as well!

Admittedly, everyone performed well in this year's hunting contest, and hearing the points being announced, the Monarch nodded repeatedly!

When the Fourth Prince's points were reported, the Monarch also showed a look of approval!

It was only when the middle-aged man immediately followed up with the Third Prince Ning Rui's points that the Monarch and others were stunned!

"You didn't report incorrectly, did you?!"

The Monarch questioned the middle-aged man in confusion because the points announced were astonishingly unrealistic, making him instinctively think the man might have accidentally calculated wrong or misspoke?!

Once the middle-aged man confirmed no error and introduced the quantity and rank of Third Prince Ning Rui's Demon Beast Inner Pills, everyone was dumbfounded!

Everyone looked at Third Prince Ning Rui in disbelief!

"Excellent, excellent!"

Moments later, the Monarch laughed heartily, regardless, with his son achieving such remarkable results, he felt proud nonetheless!

Although he found the event a bit odd and intriguing.

As for the other princes, their gazes on him naturally weren't too friendly, especially Fourth Prince Ning Xuan, who aimed for first place!

Compared to the First Prince and Second Prince, his desire for the throne made him naturally crave such honors more!

Subsequently, the middle-aged man continued announcing, quickly reporting everyone's scores!

Undoubtedly, Third Prince Ning Rui was the undisputed champion!

The Monarch personally descended, handing the first-place prize—ten Red Mysterious Stones—to him, and Ning Rui promptly expressed his gratitude! 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Of course, prizes were also awarded to second and third places, being five and two Red Mysterious Stones respectively!

Afterwards, more than half an Hour later, the hunt completely ended, and the Monarch's entourage also began returning.

...

"Su Chen, you can keep the Demon Beast Inner Pills you hunted."

After separating from the entourage, as they walked on the streets of the Imperial Capital, Ning Rui spoke.

He directly called Su Chen by his name, implying closer familiarity, which wasn't abrupt after this hunt!

Hearing this, Su Chen nodded without refusal. He understood that even if he declined, Ning Rui wouldn't accept it, given it was his hunt!

"Furthermore, these ten Red Mysterious Stones, you also can have half."

Ning Rui continued.

Su Chen couldn't help but say upon hearing this:

"There's no need for that!"

"Su Chen, without you, not to mention first place, I'd find it hard to achieve even second place."

Ning Rui earnestly stated:

"So, half of these Red Mysterious Stones are rightfully yours; it could be said I've gained quite a lot myself!"

Su Chen hesitated a bit more, but Ning Rui remained insistent. After considering briefly, Su Chen agreed.

Seeing Su Chen accept, Third Prince Ning Rui laughed heartily:

"That's more like it, since we're friends, let's not be too polite!"
