Chapter 283: Zhu Zhuqing, do you have any regrets?

From the start of the tournament until now, the Shrek Seven Devils had never appeared on the field together, so when they appeared on the competition stage with a complete lineup, the gazes of the several Spirit Master teams that had qualified from the Heaven Dou Empire could not help but freeze for a moment.

Except for Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Xiao Wu who had appeared before, the others like Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Tang San were all new faces.

"Aside from those three girls, the three people Shrek sent up this time are a bit strange..."

Shui Bing'er and Huo Wu stood shoulder to shoulder by the railing, one ice and one fire, looking down at the field.

Huo Wu's injuries had already fully healed after Healing.

"As long as it's not the female team members, anything is fine," Huo Wu said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Shui Bing'er nodded in great agreement: "It's three to two right now, we can still contend, but if it were six to two, then there would be no way to play."

Huo Wu rolled her eyes: "Who wants to join forces with you? I haven't made up my mind yet!"

Shui Bing'er suddenly wrapped her arm around her shoulder, her red lips leaning close to her ear as she said: "Not made up your mind? Then why did you say things like you still liked him on the field yesterday?"

"Liking is liking, I won't deny it."

Huo Wu said as a matter of course: "But liking doesn't mean I can accept being with others."

Shui Bing'er nodded, her ice-blue eyes turning toward Qin Jian, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu, and she suddenly said: "What do you think of that Hu Liena from the Spirit Hall yesterday?"

Huo Wu was slightly startled, but immediately shook her head and said: "Qin Jian only met her for the first time, and the process wasn't pleasant. Even if something happens later, it will probably just be a conquest; I don't have any thoughts on it."

"I thought you would be angry, I didn't expect you to be able to use your brain to think now too..."

Shui Bing'er gave a soft laugh, her gaze profound: "Qin Jian seems amorous, but in fact, his goals are very clear. He won't flirt with people he doesn't like at all... so this Hu Liena will definitely be one of your and my opponents in the future."

Huo Wu frowned: "She is a descendant of the Spirit Hall, no longer an ordinary academy student. Isn't Qin Jian afraid of trouble by getting mixed up with her?"

"I always feel his goals are very clear..."

Shui Bing'er's eyes were full of inquiry: "Perhaps he has no choice either..."

Huo Wu had swirling eyes, unable to understand...

On the competition field.

Qin Jian led the way, Zhu Zhuqing stood by his side, and the others stood behind them.

Tang San in the very center looked calm, but his eyes drifted back and forth involuntarily; clearly, having been suppressed for so long and finally being able to appear, he was now a bit overexcited.

On the contrary, Oscar and Ma Hongjun were much more normal; they were waving: "Boss Dai, long time no see!"

The Star Luo Royal Team opposite them was also standing ready, and at the very front was none other than the tall figure of Dai Mubai.

Not having seen him for a year or two, his expression already unconsciously carried the aura of someone in a superior position.

Standing beside him was a tall girl whose figure was comparable to Zhu Zhuqing's hotness.

She had a gentle smile on her face, her gaze sizing up Qin Jian and Zhu Zhuqing with great interest.

"Long time no see, everyone. I didn't expect us to become opponents on the finals stage of the Elite Tournament."

Facing Qin Jian, Dai Mubai's smile was inscrutable: "You guy are really more exaggerated than I was back then. Not only do you not let go of the girls in your team, but you even dare to provoke a descendant of the Spirit Hall?!"

After he finished this sentence, he suddenly looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said: "Up to now, do you have any regrets?"

Qin Jian's brows furrowed slightly.

It seems this guy is still brooding over Zhu Zhuqing's insistence on breaking off the engagement back then; a man's self-esteem is at work.

Behind Qin Jian and Zhu Zhuqing, Tang San and the others, who knew that the dispute back then had ended with Dai Mubai leaving in dejection, also had somewhat strange expressions.

"Having broken free from the shackles of the family and escaped the predetermined fate, I am pursuing my own heart and doing the things I truly want to do..."

Zhu Zhuqing did not hesitate in the slightest, and her gaze toward Dai Mubai was no different from that toward a stranger: "I have never regretted it, and I never will."

Dai Mubai's face sank, as if he hadn't expected Zhu Zhuqing to give such a firm answer.

Originally, he thought that being sandwiched among so many of Qin Jian's women, Zhu Zhuqing would definitely regret her initial decision.

After all, no matter how much of a playboy he, Dai Mubai, was, he would eventually only marry one person and would not have his heart divided.

But Qin Jian was clearly not like that; he had deep feelings for every girl and would not let any of them go.

"Being my only Crown Princess and eventually becoming the Empress of the Star Luo Empire, isn't that better than your choice now?" he asked somewhat unwillingly.

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head coldly and then took Qin Jian's arm: "Dai Mubai, don't try to satisfy your vanity as a man through me anymore. I like Qin Jian; he is someone I chose myself, not someone the family forced upon me, so I will be responsible for my own choice."

"Zhuqing, I envy you."

The girl beside Dai Mubai suddenly spoke, which also drew everyone's attention.

Qin Jian had actually read her file and knew her name was Zhu Zhuyue; after Zhu Zhuyun was deposed, she was the one who took over as Crown Princess.

"Third Sister, congratulations on becoming the Crown Princess."

Zhu Zhuqing rarely showed a hint of closeness: "Back in the family, only you would care about me."

Zhu Zhuyue smiled and said: "You know, my talent has been average since I was a child, so the family didn't designate me as an heir, which allowed me to live well. I didn't expect that in the end, I would be the one to become the object of a political marriage."

"Zhuqing, you know my temperament; I have always been submissive and have no thoughts of resistance. It's fine like this now."

Zhu Zhuyue smiled: "But you are different from me. You have had the highest talent among the sisters since you were young, and you have more of your own ideas than I do. Seeing that you can finally do what you like, I am happy for you."

"Mm..."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said: "Third Sister's temperament is quiet and uncontentious. Compared to being married off by the family to some trash in another family in the future, it's fine like this now."

"I say... are you guys going to compete or not..."

The referee walked up expressionlessly at this moment, not looking at the others, only at Qin Jian: "Why does the competition turn into a tea party whenever you are involved?"

"From beginning to end, did I say a single word?"

Qin Jian pointed at himself and said indignantly: "Even if I'm a living target now, don't pin every pot on me!"

The referee: "..."

"Hey hey! It's starting, it's starting!"

Qin Jian didn't waste words, and five Soul Rings—Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black—rose from beneath his feet.

He twisted his neck and said to Dai Mubai: "I originally wanted to give you some face and accompany you to fight lively before using my big moves, but it's a pity that your words just now made me very unhappy..."

"So there's no warm-up. Xiao San, Pangzi, Oscar, you three don't activate your martial souls, keep hiding, the four of us will blast them away!"

As soon as Qin Jian said this, not only was there an uproar off the stage, but even Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuyue, and the others changed color slightly.

Of course, the one whose expression changed the most was Tang San; he had originally prepared to show off his Ten Thousand Year Fourth Soul Ring, but ended up being a background prop once again, and standing on the stage as a background prop at that...

That feeling... it really was not a good feeling!
