The next day.
The second round began.
In this round, Purple Star College, as the first place of the Heaven Dou Empire, had a bye, so Wang Feng went to watch Tang San's match.
However, when Wang Feng arrived at the Shrek Academy's resting area, he found that the group was silent.
"Master, what kind of opponent did they meet?"
Wang Feng asked curiously.
"It's the seeded team from the Star Luo Imperial College."
The master shook his head. "They're also a strong opponent, but they're on par with Ares College."
Hearing this, Wang Feng suddenly understood.
The seeded team from the Star Luo Imperial College had a bye in the first round.
They didn't expect to meet Tang San's team in the second round.
If he remembered correctly, this college had something to do with Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Brother Feng, are you here to watch the match today?"
Tang San looked at Wang Feng and smiled. "I didn't expect to meet a strong opponent today. However, I did some research and found that the Star Luo Imperial College's team is actually weaker than Ares College's team yesterday. It's a pity that you didn't watch the match yesterday, but our chances of winning aren't low … "
However, although he said so, the others seemed to be abnormally silent.
"That's good."
Wang Feng nodded slightly and suddenly looked at Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing. He said slowly, "Is there something wrong?"
Everyone looked at the two of them. When Dean Frank came to tell them about the draw, they had already noticed something strange about the two of them.
"Yes."
Seeing Wang Feng, Zhu Zhuqing's expression seemed much better. She nodded slightly and stood up. She looked at Dai Mubai and said, "Do you want to speak or should I?"
Dai Mubai, who was in low spirits, stood up reluctantly, but he was silent.
At this moment, a short-haired girl in sky blue clothes walked into the resting area. She smiled and said,
"Xiao Bai, I heard that you have a match today. Good luck!"
This girl was Shui Yue 'er.
Seeing this girl, everyone was stunned.
"What's wrong with you? I'm here to cheer for you! "Shui Yue 'er looked at everyone in surprise.
Sky Water Academy's luck today was good. They had finished their matches and their opponents were very weak.
This meant that they would be able to enter the third round, but it would be difficult then.
Fortunately, her goal was to enter the third round. Wang Feng knew this because Shui Bing 'er would occasionally come to talk to him, mainly about the situation of Yaya's consciousness.
Therefore, Sky Water Academy was very relaxed.
Indeed, this girl was a little different.
She was very smart and knew what level they were at, so she didn't force them. Entering the third round of the finals was already Sky Water Academy's best result.
Seeing Shui Yue 'er walking over, Dai Mubai's complexion also improved a lot.
The relationship between the two had quickly warmed up after the qualifiers, and after the promotion, they were even more inseparable. On the way here, Dai Mubai often went to Sky Water Academy's carriage to look for Shui Yue 'er.
"I'll tell you."
Zhu Zhuqing's tone was very calm. "This match … concerns our lives. If we lose, Mu Bai and I … will probably end up very badly."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
"Zhu Qing, what's the matter?" Tang San asked.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai and continued, "He and I are both from the Star Luo Empire. We are both the legitimate sons of the Star Luo Empire's clans. According to the rules of our clans, my sister and his brother are engaged. I'm also engaged to him. This is a custom that has been passed down since ancient times. "
Although everyone had vaguely guessed the relationship between the two, they didn't expect it to be like this!
For a moment, they were all stunned.
Wang Feng nodded slightly. He had always known about this, but … the current situation wasn't like the original story.
"My sister and his brother are both very talented soul masters in the clan. There has always been a struggle for the position of the clan's successor, but my chances are very small because I'm not strong enough. This tournament is a chance. If we can beat them, we'll have a chance to inherit the clan … "
At this point, Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed slightly.
"My sister and his brother are in the Imperial Star Luo Academy, so they're our opponents in this round."
Zhu Zhuqing continued.
"Zhuqing and I don't want to inherit the clan's position."
Dai Mubai spoke up, but there was a hint of bitterness on his face. "I'm not interested … Zhuqing is the same. It's just that we have to fight for it. If we lose, the best outcome for us is to become cripples and be imprisoned for life.
"I don't like power. I'm not interested in it."
Wang Feng: "…"
Why does this sound so familiar?
Wang Feng looked at Dai Mubai. Dai Mubai didn't like power, but he had to fight for it.
However, this kind of family struggle wasn't much. In his previous world, there were many melodramatic court dramas that were more complicated than this.
Moreover, a successor raised in this way would be much more outstanding in this kind of environment.
"So, we have to fight for it. Otherwise, we'll lose our lives!"
Zhu Zhuqing's voice was cold, but there was a hint of decisiveness in it.
After hearing this, everyone more or less understood.
"No wonder you were so mean to Mubai when you first came to the academy."
Xiao Wu was deep in thought.
Back then, Dai Mubai had been indulging in debauchery and debauchery. How could he fight for it?
If she was his fiancée, her attitude might have been even worse.
"My older brother and sister are both more talented than us."
Dai Mubai smiled bitterly. "There's no way we can win … If that had been the case, I would be even more depressed now. Fortunately, I met you two, which reignited my confidence. I also met her. "
At this point, Dai Mubai glanced at Shui Yue 'er.
"What about your engagement?" Shui Yue 'er looked at the two of them.
Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai shook their heads in unison.
"The engagement isn't important." Dai Mubai said in a low voice. "As long as we can defeat my older brother and sister, we'll be able to survive. The engagement doesn't matter. When the time comes, our families will unite. As long as I'm related to Zhuqing, it'll be fine. Besides, although we were engaged when we were young … "
At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing said softly, "I don't have feelings for you.
"But I don't have any feelings. I was angry because I didn't want the two of us to die in vain."
Dai Mubai nodded. A special aura suddenly erupted from his body.
"That's right. Most importantly, I have someone I like now. I won't admit defeat in this competition!"
After saying that, Dai Mubai glanced at Shui Yue 'er.
Hearing this, Shui Yue 'er was very satisfied. She blushed and nodded. She didn't care which empire Dai Mubai was from.
"Me too … I won't admit defeat in this competition!"
Zhu Zhuqing's voice became lower and lower. In the end, she muttered, "I also have someone I like …"
Her last sentence was so soft that it was almost inaudible. No one heard it.
However, Zhu Zhuqing secretly glanced at Wang Feng …
While I'm at it, I'll ask for some votes ~
