Chapter 228: Dai Weisi Was Envious
Dai Weisi scratched his hair, there was nothing there? What was she looking at?
But these were minor matters. What he was most curious about now was that girl Zhu Zhuqing.
Whose thigh did she manage to cling to? She actually dared to defy his father the Emperor’s decree, and even got Dai Mubai to tacitly agree.
“Zhuyun, who is behind that girl Zhuqing? Who could give her so much confidence to leave my third brother?”
Hearing Dai Weisi’s question, Zhu Zhuyun’s expression froze, and she thought of that brute Bai Yu again.
How could she not be confident? Although the Spirit Hall Saint Child’s status was equivalent to that of the Crown Princes of the two great Empires, there could be many Crown Princes, but there was only one Saint Child.
More importantly, this Saint Child was quite extraordinary; not only was his strength formidable, but his influence in Spirit Hall was also significant.
Therefore, even if the Star Luo Emperor knew about this, he could only tacitly agree, and even had to send people from the Zhu family to discuss the marriage alliance.
If it weren’t for her being too deeply bound to Dai Weisi, and the Zhu family being unable to move easily within Star Luo, if she were to betray, the Zhu family would surely face retaliation.
She also wished she could be like her younger sister and stay by that scoundrel’s side.
“Hmm, that’s a difficult person to deal with. Do you see the one sitting in the middle of the judging panel? That’s him.”
Dai Weisi’s pupils constricted. He turned to look at Bai Yu’s location, and Bai Yu, as if sensing something, shifted his gaze and met Dai Weisi’s eyes.
Dai Weisi quickly smiled, then averted his gaze, saying in a shocked tone, “How could it be him? How did that girl Zhuqing get involved with the Spirit Hall Saint Child? They shouldn’t have any connection, right?”
Zhu Zhuyun shrugged, her tone somewhat ethereal.
“Who knows? But I heard from Zhuqing that the Saint Child has been staying in Heaven Dou territory for the past two years. That’s when they met.”
“Tsk, why do you care so much? Isn’t it better to have him behind Zhuqing? With the Saint Child’s strength and influence, no one can force Zhuqing to help Dai Mubai, not even your father the Emperor.”
Dai Weisi narrowed his eyes. Although Zhu Zhuyun’s words weren’t pleasant, they were absolutely correct. Now, even his father the Emperor had to accept it begrudgingly.
As for finding another helper for Dai Mubai? Haha, don’t joke. His father the Emperor couldn’t afford to lose face like that, unless Dai Mubai went to find one himself.
But without the Star Luo Emperor’s decree, he didn’t believe the Zhu family would eagerly go help Dai Mubai. Not only would they gain no benefit, but they would also easily incur his father the Emperor’s displeasure.
“Oh, right, didn’t I say earlier that I played the emotional card with Zhuqing all night? So that girl softened and gave me a lot of good things.”
“For the next year or two, I’ll be in seclusion for cultivation and won’t be able to accompany you to social events. You should be careful on your own.”
Zhu Zhuyun closed her eyes slightly, speaking softly.
She had no choice before, but now that she had given herself to Bai Yu, she naturally had to find a way to remain faithful to him and stay away from Dai Weisi.
She wasn’t some loose woman; even if she was a lover, she was only Bai Yu’s lover.
“Ah? Okay, I understand.”
Dai Weisi’s expression froze, then envy surged in his eyes. Zhu Zhuqing’s cultivation speed made him find it unbelievable.
In just over two years, she went from a mere Spirit Grandmaster to a Spirit Ancestor at level 46. Even if he trained himself to exhaustion, he couldn’t achieve such results!
Now, hearing that the Spirit Hall Saint Child stood behind her, he could somewhat understand how Zhu Zhuqing’s strength had improved.
But what he didn’t expect was that Zhu Zhuqing would actually transfer her resources to her Elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun, which made Dai Weisi so envious his dick turned purple.
The only thing that could console him was that Zhu Zhuyun was on his side. If Zhu Zhuyun became stronger, it could, to some extent, represent him.
Thinking of this, Dai Weisi’s face darkened. He secretly wondered if his foolish younger brother had sold off his fiancée to obtain cultivation resources from Bai Yu.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt this was the case. Otherwise, he couldn’t understand how Dai Mubai, who had similar talent to him but was seven years younger, had managed to raise his strength to such a level.
Dai Weisi’s breathing became heavier and heavier, and eventually, he unconsciously began to wonder why that person wasn’t him.
A moment later, as the competition was about to begin, Bibi Dong, accompanied by twelve red-robed cardinals, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and the Ghost Douluo, slowly walked out.
“Her Pope Majesty has arrived!”
“Long live! Long live! Long live!”
A thunderous roar, like a mountain and a tsunami, permeated the entire Spirit City.
Subsequently, all the people in the arena knelt on one knee in respect. The only ones still standing were the three Title Douluo and Ning Fengzhi beside Bibi Dong.
Also on the judging panel were ‘Xue Qinghe’ and the Star Luo minister, representing the two great Empires, as well as Bai Yu.
Oh, right, there was also the blockhead Yu Xiaogang, who was originally standing, but Flender, fearing he would implicate himself, slapped him to the ground.
After all, his relationship with Gang Zi wasn't as good now. He had wronged his sister Erlong, and not beating him to death was already out of consideration for their past friendship.
Wanting him to take responsibility for Gang Zi? That was absolutely impossible!
Even Tang San, who wished Spirit Hall would disband immediately, also bowed his head and knelt on the ground.
Ever since he met Bai Yu, he had learned that there were always people stronger than oneself. So, this wasn’t cowardice; it was knowing when to be flexible!
Bibi Dong, at this moment, nervously glanced at Bai Yu, and seeing that he wasn’t causing any trouble, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, she waved the scepter in her hand and spoke, “Rise.”
“Thank you, Pope!”
Once everyone had risen, Bibi Dong’s gaze swept over the twenty-one participants in the finals and nodded slightly.
“In you, I see the vitality of the younger generation of the continent. Of course, I hope to see your talent and strength even more.”
“Since you have made it this far, Spirit Hall will naturally not let your efforts go to waste. Now, these three teams of yours can all receive rewards from Spirit Hall.”
“However, the rewards will naturally differ based on your rankings. I hope you will do your best to strive for the championship.”
No sooner had Bibi Dong’s voice fallen than she raised her palm. Eleven Spirit Bones, in their entirety, floated above her hand, their various colored lights dazzling and mesmerizing.
And with the appearance of these eleven Spirit Bones, the entire competition venue fell silent, with only the sound of breathing remaining.
Everyone stared intently at the Spirit Bones. To be honest, if this weren’t Spirit Hall, and if there weren’t so many masters around, including several Title Douluo, someone would probably have rushed down to snatch them already.
“Alright, everything that needed to be said has been said. Now, the finals of this year’s Pan-Continental Advanced Academy Elite Spirit Master Competition officially begin!”
Afterward, Bibi Dong, accompanied by several Title Douluo and a group of red-robed Elders, took their seats on the newly constructed high platform opposite the judging panel.
