However, what Lin Chen said was the truth, every sentence logical, every word a pearl. Dai Mubai simply didn't know how to refute him and could only bark ineffectively.
Dai Mubai glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, noticing her cold, disdainful expression. He immediately explained, "Zhuqing, don't listen to his nonsense. It's not what he says. He's talking rubbish, he has ill intentions, you can't believe him. Think carefully about the consequences of betraying the Star Luo Royal Family!"
Facing Lin Chen's humiliation, Dai Mubai's explanation was very weak. Besides constantly throwing mud, he even didn't forget to threaten her at the end.
Lin Chen would never tolerate such a situation. Without waiting for Zhu Zhuqing to speak, Lin Chen preemptively said, "Dai Mubai… you only know how to threaten women. You're not a man at all!"
"You..." Dai Mubai, whose thoughts were exposed by Lin Chen, glared fiercely at Lin Chen. If looks could kill, Lin Chen would have been cut into a thousand pieces by him!
Lin Chen sneered disdainfully, "Heh heh, 'you what you'? The dignified Third Prince of Star Luo can't even speak clearly. What a disgrace to the Star Luo Royal Family. Also, didn't you say I was talking nonsense? Didn't you say I had ill intentions? Well, I won't say anything more. Let's hear what your companion has to say!"
Lin Chen pointed at Ma Hongjun behind Dai Mubai with a smile and said, "Little Fatty, yes... you. You should be Dai Mubai's classmate, right? Tell us if what I said is true, and what kind of person Dai Mubai really is!"
As he spoke, an invisible spatial ripple formed around Lin Chen, heading directly towards Ma Hongjun.
Hearing this, Ma Hongjun was slightly stunned and a bit dumbfounded. How did he get dragged into this? Even if everything Lin Chen said was true, he couldn't possibly admit it. If he agreed with Lin Chen's point of view, wouldn't that mean tearing off his face with Dai Mubai?
Although he usually bickered with Dai Mubai, it was all in fun.
But if he didn't say what Lin Chen wanted him to say, he probably wouldn't end well today.
For a moment, Ma Hongjun didn't know what to do.
Ma Hongjun's mind was a blank. Suddenly, his conflicted eyes brightened slightly, his pupils constricted, and he blurted out, "You're right, Dai Mubai is exactly that kind of person!"
"Buzz..."
As Ma Hongjun's words fell, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ning Rongrong's heads buzzed, especially Dai Mubai. He never expected to be stabbed in the back by his own brother at such a crucial moment!
Oscar looked at Ma Hongjun in disbelief and questioned loudly, "Ma Hongjun, don't talk nonsense! Boss Dai is our brother, he's never treated you badly!"
Hearing Oscar's admonition, Ma Hongjun excitedly said, "I'm not talking nonsense, everything I said is true. Little Ao, you tell me, what was Dai Mubai like before Zhu Zhuqing came and after she came? Hmph, before, he dragged me to the brothels every day, but now he's pretending to be a pure young man? Brother? Bah!"
With that, Ma Hongjun spat on the ground and continued, "I was wondering, what charm does Zhu Zhuqing have? She's not much different from other women, is she? Turns out it's because their Spirits can resonate! Little Ao, tell me, isn't what I said true?"
"I..." Oscar was speechless by Ma Hongjun's words, a look of pleading in his eyes, only hoping Ma Hongjun would stop talking!
Lin Chen was a little surprised. This Mind Element magic was too effective! Ma Hongjun not only spoke the truth but also amplified the malice in his heart.
Ma Hongjun snorted coldly and said, "Little Ao, even you refuse to speak the truth. What, were you bribed by Dai Mubai's gold coins? Hmph, if you won't speak, then Rongrong will. Rongrong... what do you say?"
The whole situation was already very clear. Ning Rongrong suddenly recalled the scene where Dai Mubai told her he would first rape and then kill her, and a strong hatred arose in her heart. Good heavens, so Dai Mubai played such dirty tricks! His own mess wasn't even cleaned up yet. Of course, she would choose to get revenge now. Ning Rongrong said, "I..."
"Fatty, why are you dragging Rongrong into this?" Just as Ning Rongrong was about to speak, she was interrupted by Oscar.
Ning Rongrong glanced at Oscar, feeling a bit disappointed. She puffed out her chest, put her hands on her hips, and said, "What, I can't even speak now?"
Seeing this, Oscar's mouth twitched, and he said, "Rongrong, this has nothing to do with you!"
Oscar's eyes blinked constantly, giving Ning Rongrong a meaningful look.
Ning Rongrong snorted coldly and said, "How is it not related to me? It is related to me! I am also a member of Shrek. I support Fatty, Fatty is right!"
Ning Rongrong paused, then looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Zhuqing, you're so unlucky to have met such trash like Dai Mubai. Don't worry, I represent the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and stand by you. If you have trouble, why don't you just join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? I will definitely help you! My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not afraid of his Star Luo Royal Family!"
Lin Chen was taken aback by this. As expected of the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she was truly domineering. As the saying goes, a leopard cannot change its spots. Lin Chen didn't expect Ning Rongrong to still be that little princess from before!
But would her promise count? Would Ning Fengzhi acknowledge it?
That remained a question mark. According to Lin Chen's understanding of Ning Fengzhi, it was about fifty-fifty.
Perhaps Ning Fengzhi might actually offend Star Luo for a single sentence from Ning Rongrong?
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flickered upon hearing this, and she was deeply moved. She nodded gently and said, "Thank you, Rongrong!"
Ning Rongrong's domineering declaration caused Ma Hongjun to burst into wild laughter. He said arrogantly, "Look... look... Rongrong is the one who dares to speak the truth. Little Ao, I really look down on you! You still want to pursue Rongrong? I think there's no hope in this lifetime!"
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong looked at Oscar with disdain, her face full of contempt.
Oscar looked at Ning Rongrong in a daze, hating Ma Hongjun to the core. Today was clearly a dispute between Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, why did he have to be dragged into it? Now it's good, looking at Ning Rongrong, he probably had no chance!
"Pfft..." Seeing Ma Hongjun getting carried away, Dai Mubai was instantly overcome with anger. He spewed out a mouthful of old blood. His good brother not only stabbed him in the back but also triggered the resonance of others. He now hated Ma Hongjun to the core. Dai Mubai believed he had never treated him badly; knowing Ma Hongjun wasn't wealthy, he always paid when they went out to play. Yet, Ma Hongjun repaid kindness with enmity. Lin Chen was certainly detestable, but Ma Hongjun was even more detestable than Lin Chen. Even considering their past friendship, he shouldn't have stabbed him in the back at this moment. The taste of being betrayed was truly unbearable.
