Chapter 753 A Beautiful Misunderstanding
Looking at Dai Mubai's mocking expression, Davis felt extremely insulted.
He could easily see that his fiancée, Zhu Zhuyun, was showing signs of drifting apart from him.
The drastic change in Zhu Zhuyun's attitude towards herself over the past few years, and the fact that her cultivation of the dual-person martial soul fusion skill, the Netherworld White Tiger, has been slow to progress and has even regressed, all point to this.
This matter was a thorn in Davis's side. He was angry and resentful of Zhu Zhuyun, but in order to obtain the right to inherit the throne of the Star Luo Empire, Davis could only choose to swallow his anger and remain silent.
He dared not discuss this matter openly with Zhu Zhuyun, much less fall out with her, since he needed the help of the Zhu family of the Xingluo Grand Duke's Mansion to obtain the right to inherit the throne of the Xingluo Empire.
With Zhu Zhuqing leaving home and joining the Spirit Hall, the power of the Zhu family of the Star Luo Grand Duke's Mansion has gradually shifted to Zhu Zhuyun's hands.
Nowadays, the struggle between the Zhu sisters, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, is no longer about winning or losing. It is almost certain that Zhu Zhuyun will be the next head of the Zhu family of the Xingluo Grand Duke's Mansion.
With such powerful support, Davis absolutely cannot give up, even if Zhu Zhuyun really did something to wrong him.
As one might expect, when Dai Mubai pointed out the matter openly or subtly and mocked him, Davis couldn't stand it.
His sinister face was cold and gloomy, and his eyes were filled with rage, as if they could breathe fire.
However, Davis was Davis after all. As the most outstanding prince of the Star Luo Empire, his self-control was quite good, and he ultimately didn't lose his temper because of Dai Mubai's sarcastic remark. Although he was right.
Davis squinted and looked Dai Mubai up and down a few times. Suddenly, he realized that his good younger brother seemed to have become much more effeminate. No wonder his words were so sarcastic.
Thinking of this, Davis couldn't help but give a cold laugh and retort:
"It's been years since I last saw you, and you've become more and more pretty, and you've also become more and more eloquent."
The implication is simply that he has become effeminate.
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's eyes instantly turned gloomy, his smile froze on his face, and he looked like a tiger whose tail had been suddenly touched, his fur standing on end. He glared at Davis angrily, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
He hates it most when people talk about him becoming effeminate, whether it's open mockery, veiled sarcasm, or sarcastic remarks.
However, Dai Mubai failed to notice that Oscar and Qin Ming, among the few members of Shrek Academy who knew the inside story, all showed strange expressions on their faces after hearing Davis's words.
Oscar, in particular, almost burst out laughing when he recalled Dai Mubai's reaction when he woke up and found himself without his manhood.
Fortunately, he realized something was wrong and covered his mouth in time.
Moreover, everyone's attention was focused on the group from the Star Luo Royal Academy opposite them, so no one noticed his unusual behavior.
As the verbal exchange between Dai Mubai and the Davis brothers intensified, the atmosphere between the two teams became increasingly tense.
Just then, a clear, cold voice came from the other side of the corridor:
"I think I just heard you mention my name? What, is there something you can't say to my face?"
Upon hearing that familiar yet slightly unfamiliar, cool female voice, Dai Mubai, the Davis brothers, and Zhu Zhuyun were all stunned for a moment, and subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction from which the voice came.
The first thing that catches the eye is a tall, handsome young man dressed in a gorgeous robe embroidered with gold and silver, with a gentle smile on his face.
Behind the young man were seven beautiful girls.
These beautiful girls, around fourteen or fifteen years old, are all extremely beautiful and have their own unique features.
In terms of appearance and temperament alone, they are almost comparable to Zhu Zhuyun at the scene. One of them even looks seven or eight parts like Zhu Zhuyun, and they also have the same clothes and the same extremely plump and hot figure that is inconsistent with their age.
It was Ye Qifeng, the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, and the seven girls from the Spirit Hall's Second Battle Team.
"It's him, that lecherous scoundrel."
Zhu Zhuyun's gaze fell on Ye Qifeng's unbelievably handsome face, and her beautiful black eyes widened instantly. For some reason, her heart began to race uncontrollably.
While Zhu Zhuyun's gaze was fixed on Ye Qifeng at the front, the brothers Davis and Dai Mubai, who had just been mocking each other, shifted their attention to Zhu Zhuqing behind Ye Qifeng.
Davis's eyes grew more serious, while Dai Mubai's eyes flashed with hatred; a cold glint appeared in both of their eyes at the same time.
At this moment, the two brothers unexpectedly stood on the same side, revealing their hostility towards Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing stepped out of the group and came to Ye Qifeng's side. Ignoring the gazes of Dai Mubai and the Davis brothers, she stared intently at her sister Zhu Zhuyun, whom she had once hated so much, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes:
"Long time no see, sister."
A cool "sister" drew Zhu Zhuyun's gaze away from Ye Qifeng.
Upon suddenly seeing her younger sister, who had run away from home for more than two years, reappear before her, Zhu Zhuyun's eyes revealed a look of surprise and complexity, but she concealed it very well and it was not noticed by outsiders.
In response to Zhu Zhuqing's greeting, Zhu Zhuyun smiled faintly and replied:
"Yes, it's been a long time, my dear sister."
"It seems you've been doing quite well these past two years, so I'm relieved."
Zhu Zhuyun's voice is different from Zhu Zhuqing's. It lacks Zhu Zhuqing's coldness but possesses an alluring charm from the heart. Her soft and charming voice can easily draw people in unconsciously.
As she spoke, she glanced at Ruiwen and the others who had already stood behind Zhu Zhuqing, all with expressions that said, "Zhuqing's affairs are my affairs," clearly indicating that they were going to support Zhu Zhuqing.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhuyun felt a sense of relief, as if a heavy stone had been lifted from her shoulders.
However, Zhu Zhuqing didn't sense any concern. Instead, Zhu Zhuyun's words stirred up memories of the past, reminding her of the targeting and suppression she faced before leaving home. Her face instantly turned cold.
"How I'm doing is none of your business."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuyun felt a slight bitterness in her heart, knowing that her younger sister still harbored resentment and misunderstanding towards her. However, she did not intend to explain anything, but simply made her voice colder and harder, and spoke a few more words to Zhu Zhuqing in a different way:
"Zhuqing, you may not know this, but your father and mother miss you very much. However, they cannot break the family rules. After the competition, you should come back with me."
If the family rules hadn't been mentioned, things would have been fine, but once this was brought up, Zhu Zhuqing's voice immediately became even colder:
"Hmph—Zhu Zhuyun, you don't need to put on this act. If I hadn't left home, I'd probably be dead by your hand by now. Miss me? In that cold-blooded family, what kind of kinship is there?"
Just as Davis is to Dai Mubai, the older sister Zhu Zhuyun in front of him is Zhu Zhuqing herself in her later years.
Although the two sides share an indelible blood bond, under pressure from their families, only one side can survive.
Whatever the reason, they must do their best to fight for it; at the very least, no one wants their life to end so easily.
Fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing was lucky.
After escaping from the vortex of her family, she met Ye Qifeng, joined the Spirit Hall, and became a disciple of Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.
Now, Zhu Zhuqing can completely ignore the struggle with her sister Zhu Zhuyun and break free from the family rules.
She just doesn't want to for the time being.
Zhu Zhuqing had no interest in power, nor did she want to be the heir of the Zhu family of the Xingluo Grand Duke's Mansion. The competition between her and her sister Zhu Zhuyun was initially just about wanting to live a good life.
Now that living is no longer a luxury, she still wants to prove herself to her sister and let her experience failure. Otherwise, she feels guilty and will inevitably have a knot in her heart that she can't untie.
After all, her sister's years of targeting and suppression had ultimately caused her a lot of harm.
Zhu Zhuqing felt uneasy if she didn't teach her sister a lesson.
The next match will present such an opportunity.
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's cold words, Zhu Zhuyun felt bitter. The feeling of being hated and misunderstood by her own sister was unbearable, but she could only pretend to be strong and force a smile.
"Whatever you want."
"But since you insist on this, then I won't hold back in the next match."
Zhu Zhuqing looked up and stared straight at her:
"That would be best."
"Otherwise, I'd be worried you wouldn't be able to withstand our first wave of attacks."
After Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, she stopped talking, turned around and retreated back into the group, never once looking at Davis and Dai Mubai.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's rudeness in daring to ignore them, the two arrogant and domineering princes of the Star Luo Empire looked rather displeased. Just as they were about to reprimand her, Ye Qifeng suddenly spoke up:
"Miss Zhuyun, we meet again."
He actually bypassed Davis and greeted Zhu Zhuyun, which made Davis's expression even more unpleasant.
However, unexpectedly, Zhu Zhuyun gave Ye Qifeng a cold look and snorted in response to his greeting:
"Hmph—you lecherous scoundrel!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present widened their eyes and looked at the two of them in disbelief. Ye Qifeng's lips twitched.
"Uh, Miss Zhuyun, I think you must have misunderstood something. I didn't do anything to you back then."
Ye Qifeng wanted to explain, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Davis on the other side.
Davis turned to Zhu Zhuyun almost immediately and asked incredulously:
"Zhu Yun, what do you call him?"
Dai Mubai, who was initially furious with Davis and Zhu Zhuqing, suddenly felt much better.
He glanced at Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuyun, then at Davis, as if discovering something shocking. "So that's it, so that's it! Davis, you've finally met your match. Karma really works, huh? Hahaha!"
A smile involuntarily crept onto Dai Mubai's lips as he began to gloat.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on her, Zhu Zhuyun realized that she seemed to have said something wrong and caused a misunderstanding, and her cheeks flushed.
But for some unknown reason, faced with the misunderstanding caused by everyone, she neither wanted to explain nor deny it, and simply replied to Davis with a curt "..."
"Oh, it's nothing."
However, Davis was extremely dissatisfied with her answer, and his eyes darkened almost instantly.
Ye Qifeng was in an awkward position.
Because of Zhu Zhuyun's actions, almost all the misunderstandings were directed at him.
Especially the seven girls of the Spirit Hall's second team, apart from Zhu Zhuqing who knew the inside story, all of them looked at him strangely.
If I had known Zhu Zhuyun was such a fierce woman, I shouldn't have bothered to greet her.
Noticing Ye Qifeng's bewildered and distressed expression, Zhu Zhuyun across from her suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction for some reason. A faint smile appeared on her red lips, completely ignoring Davis's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot.
"In the third round of the finals, the Spirit Hall's second team will face off against the Star Luo Royal Academy. Both teams, please prepare to take the stage. The match will begin in five minutes!"
Just then, a loud voice from the referee came from the direction of the arena, reminding everyone that the match was about to begin and that the participating team members must immediately go to the arena to compete.
Davis didn't have time to ask any more questions. He gave Ye Qifeng a deep look, didn't greet him, and then led Zhu Zhuyun and the rest of the Xingluo Royal Academy team away.
Ye Qifeng led the Spirit Hall's second team to the other side of the arena, while the Shrek Seven Devils went to the viewing platform to watch the match between the two teams.
Before leaving, Zhu Zhuyun slowed her pace slightly, glanced back at Ye Qifeng and Zhu Zhuqing walking side by side, and felt a strange sense of envy.
After a moment, she looked away, but her expression was somewhat gloomy as she lowered her head. Her sister was lucky, but unfortunately, she was not.
But this is for the best; at least my sister will have a good future, and I'll have to abide by the family rules myself.
It didn't take long.
The Spirit Hall's Second Team and the Star Luo Royal Academy Team, a total of fourteen members, entered the arena from both sides.
The referee specially arranged by the Spirit Hall came to the center of the two teams and, in accordance with the competition procedures, began to preside over the match without hesitation:
"The match is ready; you may release your martial spirits."
"The rules remain the same: the loser will be eliminated, and the winner will advance to the top six."
"Spirit Hall Academy's Second Team versus Star Luo Royal Advanced Soul Master Academy, Ready, Go!"
Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun faced each other directly, their gazes clashing intensely in mid-air.
"Brothers, unleash your martial spirits and show them our strength! White Tiger Martial Spirit Infusion—"
With a tiger's roar, Davis's originally sinister and gloomy gaze suddenly turned domineering, and his whole body seemed to stretch out instantly, his broad shoulders and tall body suddenly becoming exceptionally robust.
