After the Match Schedule was placed on the table, Dai Mubai stared at the words "Star Luo Royal Academy" without speaking for a long time.

Zhu Zhuqing sat opposite him, her face just as pale.

Everyone else could tell something was wrong. Ma Hongjun tried to ask several times, but Oscar stopped him with a look. Only after Flender shut the door did Dai Mubai raise his head.

"There's something Zhuqing and I have never told you."

He no longer concealed his identity.

He was the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire and one of the contenders for the throne. Zhu Zhuqing came from the Zhu Family. Betrothed to him since childhood, she was also his partner in the succession contest.

Dai Weisi was Dai Mubai's elder brother, six years his senior. Zhu Zhuyun was Zhu Zhuqing's elder sister. Under the rules of the Star Luo Imperial Family, the two pairs of heirs had competed since childhood. The winners earned the right to inherit the throne; the losers would have their cultivation stripped and be imprisoned for life, if they did not die in the contest itself.

Dai Mubai had once fled to Heaven Dou because of the gap in their ages and Soul Power. Zhu Zhuqing had later followed him there alone. Since joining Shrek, the two had trained desperately, waiting for the day they could face Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun again.

Dai Mubai paused when he said "fled." After leaving Star Luo, he had indeed spent some time indulging himself. If Zhu Zhuqing had not followed him to Suotuo City, and if the others at Shrek had not dragged him back to the Training Ground time and again, he might have accepted defeat long ago.

Zhu Zhuqing neither covered for him nor dredged up the past.
