Chapter 59 I'm Engaged

"I'm busy, please find someone else." Zhu Zhuqing declined politely.

She paused, as if she had considered something, and added, "I may have to participate in a competition in the last two days, so I won't have time."

This time, her words were gentler, fearing to hurt Chen Xuan's self-esteem.

There are only two days left in the preliminaries of the Continental Soul Master Elite Competition. Zhu Zhuqing tries not to go out as the master may arrange for her to participate. If she is not there at that time, it will be very troublesome.

"Tianshui College, the only relatively powerful college, has already decided the winner with Shrek today. The next two games will be between ordinary colleges. I think the lineup will not change." Chen Xuan said, hinting at something.

His meaning was very clear. There would be no strong opponents in the next two days' games, and he would not change the lineup or let Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai play at the same time.

Zhu Zhuqing had a blank expression on her face and didn't say a word, but there was a strange glimpse in the depths of her eyes. Obviously, she was not as cold as she appeared.

Perhaps, she had already noticed it and guessed it before, but just didn't want to express it.

Chen Xuan rarely went to the competition area. On the street, he could hear many young people discussing Shrek Academy, especially Tang San, who was almost a household name in all the major academies.

It has to be said that in this regard, Yu Xiaogang was very successful and made his disciple Tang San the most outstanding and well-known person.

Without a martial soul fusion technique, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, and another ten thousand year soul ring, Tang San was undoubtedly a dark horse in the preliminaries, the best one.

By now, Zhu Zhuqing had roughly understood the master's plan, which was obviously mixed with selfish motives.

She is a noble of the Xingluo royal family and has seen too many intrigues since childhood. Shrek is someone else's territory and she is just a student. Even if she has guessed some of the truth, there is nothing she can do about it. There is no reason to do so.

Zhu Zhuqing has a cool demeanor and often looks cold. She won't point out many things like Chen Xuan would, and she may even come into conflict with the master or others.

Sometimes, she admired Chen Xuan very much. Although he was not very capable before, he dared to humiliate the master in public and challenge his theory. He was very brave.

In Shrek Academy, the Master could be said to be the most powerful one. No one dared to refute him, let alone humiliate him. Even Flanders had never lost his temper with Yu Xiaogang.

If Chen Xuan knew what Zhu Zhuqing was thinking, he would definitely cry out for injustice. He has been very restrained. If he was not afraid of Tang San, Liu Erlong and others, he would have given Yu Xiaogang a few ruthless blows.

"Let me think about it." Zhu Zhuqing agreed and decided to go back and think about it.

Seeing the opportunity, Chen Xuan made his attitude clear without hiding anything.

"I have a soul bone that is very suitable for agility attack type soul bone." He said a piece of news.

Half a month ago, four items were opened in the upgrade gift package, one of which was a ten thousand year soul bone.

This piece of Liefeng's leg bone is 25,000 years old, very rare, and very suitable for agile attack spirit masters.

Chen Xuan estimated that if this soul bone were put up for auction, the price would be at least 200,000 gold soul coins, and it would still be a product that is out of stock.

He did not plan to sell it. There was no need to do so. He currently had more than 100,000 gold soul coins, which he could not spend in a lifetime with normal expenses.

"You're going to give it to me?" Zhu Zhuqing couldn't believe it.

Chen Xuan nodded, not feeling sorry at all.

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, with a strange look in her eyes, and she was obviously moved.

Her expression was complicated and difficult to understand. Chen Xuan's behavior was obviously giving it to her for free. The relationship between them was just a partnership.

In the Xingluo royal family, a soul bone that is more than 20,000 years old is also a very valuable item.

The intention was obvious. With such an expensive gift, it was hard not to make her wonder if there was another purpose. Zhu Zhuqing's eyes sparkled and were as cold as ice. She stared into Chen Xuan's eyes, as if she could see through his mind.

Chen Xuan felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, but then he thought, he had done nothing wrong, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

He did not avoid it, but met Zhu Zhuqing's gaze without any fear.

On the playground of the academy, the two looked at each other and stared at each other for a long time.

"Okay, I agree." Finally, Zhu Zhuqing looked away and agreed to it.

A soul bone that is more than 20,000 years old is very suitable for the agile attack system. Even someone as cold and aloof as her can't help but be moved.

With the blessing of the soul bone, she will have a greater chance of winning when she meets the Xingluo team in the future. After all, the outcome of that battle will determine her future fate.

Chen Xuan smiled, stretched out his hand, and said, "Thank you in advance."

"No, I should thank you." Zhu Zhuqing said in a cold voice.

Facing the hand that Chen Xuan extended, she was somewhat resistant. After a brief contact, she quickly pulled it back.

Chen Xuan didn't care. He was just like that, aloof and cold. It was understandable.

"See you tomorrow then. I'll go back first." He stated the time and place, then turned and left, waving goodbye.

Watching Chen Xuan's gradually receding back, Zhu Zhuqing had a complicated expression and a myriad of thoughts in her mind. In the end, she couldn't help but called out to him.

"Chen Xuan, I have a fiancé."

Giving away such a precious 20,000-year soul bone, and coincidentally it was of the speed type, the intention was so obvious that it was impossible for Zhu Zhuqing not to feel it.

She had seen too many men and knew that Chen Xuan wanted to pursue her, so she gave him soul bones to help her improve her soul power.

Thinking that this soul bone might have been obtained at a great cost by the other party, Zhu Zhuqing was slightly touched, but she understood that no matter whether she liked Chen Xuan or not, it would be fruitless.

She had been engaged since she was a child and had a fiancé for no apparent reason. This was her fate and could not be changed.

"Chen Xuan, I'm engaged, so you... just take care of yourself." Zhu Zhuqing said the last sentence and left without looking back.

She knew clearly that Chen Xuan was not from the royal family nor a noble, and she hoped that she could give up that fantasy. There was no possibility between them.

Zhu Zhuqing left without looking back, leaving Chen Xuan disheveled in the wind.

"What the hell?" He was stunned for a moment, completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

Chen Xuan was a little depressed. A big part of the reason for giving away the soul bones was as compensation, but this could be misunderstood.

The other half of the reason was that he was unwilling to absorb the soul bone. It was the same after ten thousand years. There was no point in keeping it, so he might as well give it away as a gift and earn a favor.

From his point of view, giving away soul bones does not have any special meaning. It is simply a way to make use of useless things.

Chen Xuan changed his mind and perspective, and gradually realized that this kind of behavior really seemed to give the impression of pursuing girls.

"Never mind her. I don't have any thoughts in that regard anyway." He shook his head and threw the messy thoughts out of his mind.

"You can't cheat on Tang San and then turn around and put a accusation on Dai Mubai, right?" Chen Xuan thought it was extremely immoral. This kind of person was extremely bad, and he didn't want to become the kind of person he hated.
