One quarter of an hour later, Liu Feifei, with the help of Tuoba Yao and the others, also managed to surpass Su Chengyuan.
As Tuoba Yao passed by Su Chengyuan, she commented indifferently, "In a place where true skill matters, the only way to reclaim your lost face is by your own efforts."
Put another way: Although you are a princess, this place relies on true skill for survival and advancement. Now that you've lost face, even if everyone is wary of offending a princess and doesn't dare ridicule you openly, they will mock you behind your back. The only solution is for you to use your own skill to make it impossible for others to mock you.
Su Chengyuan, though spoiled and wilful, was not stupid and understood the meaning behind Tuoba Yao's words right away.
Then, the only thought in Su Chengyuan's mind was: Stand up for myself!
With this thought, Su Chengyuan no longer cared whether anyone would lend her a hand; she simply kept dragging her heavy steps and moved forward.
