Chapter 191: I'm going back to complain to Rongrong!

Shui Bing'er was still the one who cared most about every move Qin Jian made; she had just seen Qin Jian glance around and even frown.

"You all stop talking for a moment."

She waved her hand to stop the others from teasing, and whispered: "Is there something you need to do? Something that cannot attract the attention of others?"

Qin Jian nodded.

Shui Bing'er took a deep breath, then let go of his hand, and said: "Then... go."

Zhu Zhuqing held her in higher regard once more; she clearly had not expected this girl to be so understanding.

"Sister, you clearly searched for him for a long time, how can you..."

Shui Yue'er had only said half of what she wanted to say before being blocked by Shui Bing'er: "There are priorities in all things; I will have plenty of time to look for him in the future, don't make things difficult for him."

"Oh..." Shui Yue'er pouted.

The others sighed and stopped saying anything.

After Qin Jian left, Shui Bing'er took over the Tianshui Team; her forceful style was already familiar to the six of them, and even though she was younger than the other five, excluding Shui Yue'er, they were all willing to call her "Big Sister."

Qin Jian turned around while holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and although he should have just left, he couldn't help but add one last sentence: "I... will participate in the Elite Tournament..."

After saying this, he left.

But the eyes of the seven girls clearly lit up, especially Shui Bing'er, whose icy eyes were brimming with radiance, beautiful and moving.

"Sister, what if he disappears on you again when the time comes? How come you don't seem worried at all?" Shui Yue'er couldn't help but ask.

Shui Bing'er watched Qin Jian's back silently, the corners of her mouth curling up bit by bit, outlining a smile of certainty: "I had originally planned that once I graduated from Tianshui, I would just camp out at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and wait for him; no matter where he is, he has to go home eventually, right?"

The other six widened their eyes, wishing they could raise their hands and shout: Big Sister 666...

"Actually, I don't even mind if he likes other girls; from the very beginning, I knew that the feelings between him and Ning Rongrong were very deep..."

Shui Bing'er touched her own smooth cheek and said: "He had the chance to have both, yet he insisted on breaking up... Hmph, scumbag!"

Shouldn't the one who has both be the scumbag...

The six of them finally raised their hands and shouted: "Big Sister 666!"

"Why did you all disappear in the blink of an eye?"

At this moment, the leader of the Tianshui Team, Yan Zhining, finally came out looking for them.

She looked quite frowning: "Bing'er, I have required you not to use the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul, why didn't you listen this time? Directly unleashing your ultimate move to defeat the enemy in one blow, what is the point of training then? Besides, other teams won't dare to fight you again after seeing this ultimate move."

Shui Bing'er smiled slightly: "Instructor Zhineng, our soul battle for this stop should be over anyway, let's just consider it a wrap."

Yan Zhining continued to frown: "Bing'er, you have never been like this, is something the matter?"

Shui Bing'er shook her head, took Yan Zhining's hand and said: "Instructor, don't worry, nothing happened."

The other six looked helplessly at the nonchalant Shui Bing'er; she really had changed too much compared to before. Aside from that one teardrop, there was no abnormality at all when they met this time, and she could even perfectly mask the fluctuations in her heart after Qin Jian left.

The six of them knew that on the day Qin Jian left, the girl had hidden in her room and cried uncontrollably, not stepping out for an entire day...

Not mentioning the Tianshui Team packing their luggage and preparing to head to the next stop, Qin Jian hadn't gone far with Zhu Zhuqing before being dragged into a corner by her.

"Qin Jian, tell me who she is!"

Zhu Zhuqing ripped off the mask on her face, crossed her arms, looking as if she wouldn't give up until she got to the bottom of it.

Qin Jian also took off his mask, smiled slightly, and pulled her into his arms: "Her name is Shui Bing'er, she is my ex-girlfriend."

Zhu Zhuqing struggled to get out: "Let me go! First it was Rongrong, now there's a Shui Bing'er, and Xiao Wu also has something ambiguous with you; just how many ex-girlfriends do you have, and how much affection have you left behind?!"

Qin Jian naturally didn't let her go; having a thick skin was very important at a time like this.

"Zhuqing, it's the same thing as before, the one in my arms right now is you..." he whispered.

But this time, Zhu Zhuqing was not so easily comforted; she bit down hard on Qin Jian's neck: "Hmph! Who knows when I'll become an ex-girlfriend too!"

Qin Jian endured the slight pain of those pearly teeth biting into him and whispered: "Zhuqing, I also want to be with you forever..."

"Then will you leave me?" Zhu Zhuqing let go and asked in a muffled voice.

Qin Jian shook his head and said: "Temporary separation is for a better future; I firmly believe in this right now."

Zhu Zhuqing raised her head from his arms and looked earnestly into Qin Jian's eyes, watching his gaze that did not dodge and held no falsehood.

"Don't lie to me..."

She pursed her lips and said: "Rongrong told me some things, and I don't know if I should believe her speculation; I will go and judge for myself..."

Qin Jian's heart stirred, and he watched her silently without speaking.

Zhu Zhuqing added: "Do you remember what you told me about loving what you love without asking about the outcome? I think Rongrong is like that, I..."

She turned her head and said: "I can't do that yet... I can't let go of anything, I need you... I am greedy for the peace of mind of being by your side..."

"So, actually, it doesn't matter how many girls you have... as long as you can still give me peace of mind..."

Her words moved Qin Jian: "What I want... is just this..."

"Even if we are separated... that is fine too..."

Qin Jian was silent, his soul power having risen to the 40th Level at this moment.

There were still great battles ahead; he should have been decisive, taken the opportunity to say the words of breaking up to try and raise his soul power level, and obtained his Fourth Soul Ring.

Unfortunately... he couldn't bring himself to say it at all right now...

"Zhuqing..."

He murmured in a low voice, pulling this lovely girl tighter, unable to bear being separated for even a moment...

In this world, there was actually no obsession with monogamy, so the most troublesome part wasn't that Qin Jian liked several people and wanted to be with several people at the same time; the trouble was simply that he had to break up to become stronger...

In his previous life, maintaining several romantic relationships at once would make him a scumbag, but now that he only maintained one at a time, wouldn't he be a pure-hearted little prince?

But in this life, it seemed that being fickle and abandoning the old for the new was what made one a scumbag, while having a harem was reasonable, logical, and legal...

This wicked God Position Assessment; if he ever found out who was maliciously controlling this behind the scenes, he would tear that person to shreds. If a god blocks him, kill the god; if a God King blocks him, kill the God King!

He still had to cherish every minute and every second of happiness; let's just treat this as an indispensable tempering for a sincere relationship.

Qin Jian could only comfort himself this way...

But in truth, thinking this way is also correct; those unforgettable, eternal, and unregretful legendary romances, which one of them hasn't experienced hardships, life and death, and even after Three Lives Three Worlds still couldn't figure it out...

For him, only needing to break up once and still being able to reconcile later is already very, very good...

Two more days passed like this, until Qin Jian received a letter from Dai Mubai, and only then did he emerge from the daily doting with Zhuqing.

"Alright, stop lazing in bed, we have serious business to attend to."

Qin Jian stretched, getting up under the midday sun.

Behind him, Zhuqing's head poked out from the quilt; she looked lazy, her face still carrying a hint of a flush, and there was no telling what the two of them had been doing earlier...

"Who are you calling a bed-lazer..."

Zhuqing clutched the quilt and protested: "It's all you, staying in bed every day and refusing to get up, and holding onto me without letting go..."

"Mhm... and nibbling non-stop too..."

Qin Jian turned back and smiled: "I nibbled you all over from head to toe..."

"Ugh..."

Zhuqing buried herself back into the quilt without a word: "I'm going to report you to Rongrong when I get back!"

Qin Jian was instantly astonished: "There's such a move?!"
