After hearing Tang San's words, Xiao Wu hurriedly chimed in from the side.

"Exactly... Zhu Zhuqing, you've gone too far. You actually attacked Brother Dai over something so minor, and you even called Third Brother a hypocrite. You heartless woman... We were discussing setting off for Sea God Island in three days, weren't we? If you make trouble now and delay us, how is Third Brother supposed to explain it to the Snow Night Great Emperor when he goes back? How is he supposed to explain it to Grandmaster? He never should have brought you here in the first place..."

In Xiao Wu's eyes, she only listened to her Third Brother. She did not care about right or wrong, nor did she care about the truth.

Because as long as Tang San said it, Xiao Wu believed it had to be the truth.

Xiao Wu was not the only one who thought so. Even Oscar and Ning Rongrong believed it, because Tang San was simply too good at putting on an act.

Thus, after Xiao Wu finished speaking, Oscar also began criticizing Zhu Zhuqing.

"Seventh Sister, you're in the wrong here... Brother Dai was right just now. He's never suffered such humiliation before, so it's only natural that he lost his temper in the heat of the moment. But we're all friends. As long as you apologize to Brother Dai, I guarantee he won't say such things about you again."

After hearing Oscar's words and thinking that the Spirit Empire had already begun making moves, Ning Rongrong also felt that they should not cause any more trouble at a time like this. So she tried to persuade Zhu Zhuqing as well.

"Seventh Sister, why don't you apologize to Dai Mubai? Whether you really hit him or not, as long as you apologize, leave everything else to us. The Shrek Seven Monsters cannot do without your Netherworld White Tiger..."

That was right. At that moment, aside from Ma Hongjun, who knew the truth and felt somewhat guilty, everyone else had actually begun accusing Zhu Zhuqing of being in the wrong under Tang San's instigation.

Listening to the voices around her, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at Tang San.

Zhu Zhuqing truly had not expected that, after being driven to this point, after tearfully begging Tang San to reveal the truth and give her justice...

The hypocrite Tang San not only refused to help her, but even went further in covering up the truth for Dai Mubai. He dumped all the filth onto her, turning her into the target of everyone's condemnation.

Facing Zhu Zhuqing's disbelieving gaze, Tang San instinctively avoided it. He pretended to speak with Xiao Wu, remaining composed as he continued to maintain his image as an upright gentleman.

Yet Tang San also knew in his heart that he had shifted all the blame onto Zhu Zhuqing. Faced with her pained and despairing eyes, he did feel the slightest trace of guilt.

But even then, Tang San still felt that he had done nothing wrong. If he revealed the whole truth, it would do the entire Shrek Team no good. Not only would it severely damage his relationship with Dai Mubai, it would also make the others trust him less.

After all, he had already covered for Dai Mubai last night. Turning against him now would bring Tang San nothing but harm.

Tang San was someone who cared deeply about benefits. Naturally, he would not be moved by Zhu Zhuqing's tears. He had to protect his supreme status as a gentleman within the Shrek Team.

Therefore, after a brief moment of thought, Tang San decided to shamelessly persuade Zhu Zhuqing as well, which could at least be considered an explanation for what he had just done to her.

"Zhuqing... I know that although this matter was your fault, you're still a girl, and Boss Dai should not have spoken to you like that. So, just as Rongrong said, apologize to Boss Dai. Better to avoid trouble when you can... I hope you can put the bigger picture first and think of the team."

Tang San looked at Zhu Zhuqing with righteous eyes. After saying those words, the guilt in his heart had long since vanished completely.

At that moment, Tang San felt that he was a gentleman. Everything he did was for the team, and he absolutely could not say anything that would harm the team's harmony.

Even if Zhu Zhuqing had to suffer a little, Tang San felt it was nothing.

Especially since Dai Mubai had gone out in the middle of the night to visit brothels and indulge himself, Tang San also felt that it was no big deal.

It was clear now just how foolish Zhu Zhuqing had been to place all her hopes on a hypocrite with such twisted values as Tang San.

For Zhu Zhuqing, she did not know how much time had passed. Only when she felt numb pain in her legs and her delicate body instinctively trembled did she break free from that state of despair and shock.

She saw that the hypocrite Tang San before her was still watching her with that righteous gaze.

Thinking of Tang San's words just now, thinking of Xiao Wu's mockery, thinking of how Ning Rongrong and Oscar had also chosen to believe Tang San rather than her, and had even told her to apologize to that disgusting man Dai Mubai...

As these scenes flashed through her mind, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly laughed.

Her laugh was cold and eerie, almost frightening, as though she had gone mad.

"Dai Mubai, a cripple whose legs are broken, still went out in the middle of the night to show Ma Hongjun the way... Hahahahaha, and you actually believed such a ridiculous joke? Every one of you... are you all idiots?"

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze swept across every face around her: Ning Rongrong, who looked at a loss; Xiao Wu, who was gloating; Tang San, with his righteous expression; Dai Mubai, who still wanted to kill her; Ma Hongjun, who had lowered his head; Bai Chenxiang, who was preparing to beat Ma Hongjun; and Oscar, whose face was filled with disappointment in her...
