After hearing her words, Long Qianxu was slightly stunned.
Nunhu? Marry into the wife's family?
"Are you willing? If you are, I will be with you." Chen Xun stared into his eyes, gently lifted his chin with a small fan, and asked with a smile.
Long Qianxu fell silent.
He frowned, looking conflicted.
Chen Xun did not ask urgently, she was waiting for him to give her an answer.
Long Qianxu pondered for a moment, stared at her deeply, and said in a difficult tone: "Xun'er, I can't do it now."
He is the young master of the dragon clan, and the dragon clan is behind him.
So, he can't just be one person.
"Xu Lang, I understand your situation." Chen Xun smiled, "So, I won't force you."
"Xun'er..."
She pressed the small fan against his lips, "Shh."
"Long Qianxu, we are not suitable." She did have some affection for Long Qianxu, but she did not like the feeling of being imprisoned, nor did she like the atmosphere among the dragon clan members.
He couldn't do what she wanted.
She couldn't do what he wanted.
Neither of them could take a step back for the other, so being together was torture.
Long Qianxu raised his hand and grasped her wrist, looking at her pleadingly, "Can you wait for me?"
Chen Xun gently pushed his hand away, "I won't give you hope, nor will I wait for you."
The conversation between the two seemed to have come to an end.
Among the people who followed him, even someone as careless as Zhuge Youlin noticed that Long Qianxu was in a very low mood.
Sister Chenxun was not in a good mood either.
Zhuge Youlin wanted to ask the reason, but was secretly pulled back by Chen Yan.
Zhuge Youlin turned and looked at Chen Yan.
Chen Yan shook her head slightly at him.
Zhuge Youlin understood that this meant that he could not ask questions.
Jin Suizi didn't continue to poke Long Qianxu's feelings.
After three more competitions, Chen Yan realized something was wrong.
Chen Yan asked, "Do you feel that these defenders are deliberately letting us win?"
"Yes!" Zhuge Youlin nodded in agreement when he heard it.
Zhuge Youlin continued, "Is there some conspiracy behind this?"
Jin Suizi said thoughtfully, "I think they must have received some instructions, which is why they acted like this."
Chen Xun waved his small fan and said with a half-smile, "Why don't we just catch one of the defenders and ask him? Then we'll know, right?"
"I agree." Jin Suizi smiled slightly.
Zhuge Youlin grinned.
"I agree too!"
Chen Yan's lips curled up slightly, "Okay."
When they arrived at the next competition arena, they happened to meet Xiao Zechuan and Jiang Xianyue. Jiang Xianyue was competing with the defender on the arena at the moment.
"Yueyue!" Zhuge Youlin's expression lit up with joy and he immediately rushed to the bottom of the ring.
Xiao Zechuan also saw them.
His expression was slightly stiff, and his eyes swept over Chen Xun, Jin Suizi, and Long Qianxu, before finally landing on Shen Yan.
"Yan Yan."
At this time, Jiang Xianyue defeated the defender and obtained a piece of the maze puzzle. When she walked down the stage, she saw the red-haired boy already guarding below.
"Yueyue." Zhuge Youlin called out with a smile.
Jiang Xianyue nodded indifferently, then after she walked down from the stage, she ran towards Chen Yan with a smile on her face.
“Yan Yan!”
Seeing this, Zhuge Youlin was stunned for a moment, then followed.
When everyone gathered together, Chen Yan introduced Chen Xun's identity to them.
"My cousin, Chen Xun."
"Hello." Even through the thin veil, one could vaguely see Chen Xun smiling.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xianyue and Xiao Zechuan looked at each other, suppressed their doubts, and then introduced themselves to Chen Xun.
Then they talked about the defenders' collective letting the game go.
Jiang Xianyue and Xiao Zechuan naturally noticed it, but they didn't have time to investigate.
"This matter is quite strange." Xiao Zechuan's expression was slightly serious.
Zhuge Youlin said, "Could it be that someone outside this maze is watching our every move? ...Could it be that because we haven't been able to leave the maze for so long, they think we're stupid and want to give us some slack?"
Several people: "..."
Seeing that they remained silent, Zhuge Youlin asked, "Do you think it's possible?"
"It's not impossible." Jin Suizi smiled.
Chen Yan raised her eyes and looked at the defender standing on the stage. "I'll go ask him."
After saying that, she leaped onto the ring and came in front of the defender.
"No need to add water." Chen Yan said lightly.
This sentence made the defender's face become solemn in an instant. He stared at Chen Yan, with a hint of astonishment and hesitation in his eyes.
Chen Yan asked again: "Who told you all to let the opponent win in the competition?"
The defender's expression became increasingly tense. He obviously had not expected Chen Yan to ask the question so directly.
He did not intend to answer, but quickly announced the start of the competition.
As soon as he finished speaking, the defender immediately pounced on Chen Yan like a hungry tiger, with a fierce and merciless attack.
Chen Yan, however, nimbly dodged to the side and avoided his attack.
Then, she slapped back with her hand, and the powerful spiritual power floated and hit the defender's chest hard.
There was a dull thud, and the defender was knocked back several steps by the palm force.
"Who told you to let the opponent win in the competition?" Chen Yan did not give the defender a chance to breathe. She pressed on step by step and continued to ask the same question.
The defender's face turned pale, not wanting to continue arguing with him, and he said directly: "I lose."
Then he took out a maze puzzle and threw it to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan frowned slightly. She didn't expect him to admit defeat so quickly.
"Please go down." The defender raised his hand with a subtle expression.
Chen Yan: “…”
"I'm coming!!!" Zhuge Youlin shouted and jumped onto the stage.
His figure looked particularly tall and slender in the sunlight, and his red hair fluttered in the wind like a burning flame.
He grinned.
The defender glanced at him, then looked at the people below the stage.
They are obviously in the same group!
Wouldn't it be enough to just get a maze puzzle?
Why come again?
Do they all want to ask about the issue of 'letting water in competitions'?
Thinking of this, the defender's eyes dimmed slightly.
He would never leak the secret.
"I give up!" the defender said loudly.
Zhuge Youlin, who was about to make a big move, was dumbfounded when he heard this.
"No...hasn't it started yet?"
"Ah? Oh!" The defender was stunned for a moment, then he quickly announced the start of the competition and added, "I give up!"
Zhuge Youlin: "..."
"Don't you have any competitive spirit at all?"
"For you, no." The defender shook his head.
Zhuge Youlin gritted his teeth in anger, "You are biased!"
The ring guard extended his hand and said politely with a smile: "Please leave the ring."
