Taihuang Star Seal

"Don't panic. I'm also on the list of participants, right?"

Ding Chen said with a faint smile.

Unfortunately, his calm demeanor did not win him any special regard from his fellow tribesmen.

Instead, many people made sarcastic remarks.

Especially the Great Elder's lineage, who made no effort to hide their disdain for Ding Chen: "You are just a piece of trash? What's the point of participating in the competition?"

"Exactly. Do you really think that your cultivation level of the 9th level of the Horizontal Training Realm can defy the heavens?"

"In the battle ten days ago, the reason you were able to defeat Lu Chang and Zhou Hu was not because of how strong you, Ding Chen, were."

"It's because those two illegitimate young masters are too weak!"

"If you really have to face any of the contestants on this list, you, Ding Chen, will only be beaten up!"

At this time, Xiao Jianyi slammed the gavel heavily: "Stop talking nonsense!"

"Hurry up and send someone up to draw lots and finalize the order of the team battle."

As soon as these words were spoken, Luo Yangjie, Lu Xingwu and Zhou Longhai all smiled with a hint of success.

"Hey, our people have already marked the bamboo sticks early in the morning."

"No matter how the draw goes today, the Luo family is destined to be the one that has to fight two rounds in a row!"

"This time, the Luo family is doomed to fail."

"Ding Chen is dead too!"

At this time, Ding Chen suddenly said, "Hey, when I saw these old guys were laughing so sinisterly, it was not difficult to guess that the draw must have been rigged."

At this point, he suddenly turned to look at the beautiful Luo Qinru standing beside him, and said with a smile: "How about we make a bet?"

"I bet that in this draw, the Luo family will definitely draw the 'worst lot' of fighting two games in a row!"

"If I win, I'll kiss you."

"If I lose, you can kiss me instead, how about that?"

"Bah, you wish..."

Luo Qinru looked embarrassed and angry.

Seeing this, Xiao Jianyi was immediately jealous: "Ding Chen, you are so good, you are obviously about to die, but you are still flirting with my goddess in front of me, right?!"

Then, he turned his eyes and winked at Lu Hanyang and Zhou Jinrui as if no one was around.

His murderous eyes seemed to be saying, "No matter which of you two gets the first move, I will see Ding Chen die tragically on the ring. The more tragic the better. Do you understand?"

Lu Hanyang and Zhou Jinrui immediately understood Xiao Jianyi's thoughts and nodded.

Just when the three major families sent representatives to draw lots.

Ding Chen deliberately leaned closer to Luo Qinru, then pointed at his cheek as if no one was around, and said, "I'll tell you in secret."

"As long as you are willing to give me a sweet kiss, I will definitely help the Luo family win this team battle today!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was petrified.

When they realized what was happening, they all cursed Ding Chen for being shameless!

"You're shouting so loudly, I'm afraid people outside the mine can hear you..."

"How dare you say 'tell you in secret'?"

"Hey, you're going too far. This isn't the way to trick someone into kissing you, is it?"

"Luo Qinru, my goddess, please don't believe him!"

"If Ding Chen wins, sows will fly to the sky!"

Luo Qinru was both embarrassed and annoyed.

If it were ten days ago, Luo Qinru would definitely ignore Ding Chen's unreasonable words.

But now...

When Luo Qinru thought back to recent events, she actually had a little more expectations for her fiancée.

It was as if a little man jumped out from the depths of Luo Qinru's heart.

She stood on her shoulders, gently lifted up Luo Qinru's ears, which were as white and cute as crystal dumplings, and whispered, "Do you want to give it a try?"

"You are his fiancée anyway, so it's no big deal if it's just a light kiss on the cheek..."

"And if I do this, I can also piss off that bastard Xiao Jianyi!"

At this time.

The bright sunshine shone on Ding Chen's face as he deliberately leaned forward, giving it a layer of light gold.

If you take a closer look, he's really handsome!

next second.

Luo Qinru really came forward as if possessed by a ghost, and gently pecked Ding Chen on the cheek with her soft cherry-red lips.

Luo Qinru's lips separated as soon as they touched.

But it was enough to make this young lady, who had always lived in seclusion, feel shy!

But in front of everyone, she still had to pretend to be calm and maintain her usual aloofness...

For a moment, everyone in the audience seemed to be frozen in place by some mysterious force!

They never expected that Luo Qinru, who had always been cold and noble and had never shown any affection to Ding Chen, would actually kiss him in public?

Even if it was just a kiss on the cheek, it was shocking enough!

This sudden scene broke countless men's hearts!

“Crack, crack…”

Listen, this is the sound of men's hearts breaking!

Oh no.

It turned out that this was the sound of Xiao Jianyi, the second son of the City Lord's Mansion, gritting his teeth!

His fists were clenched, his eyes were bloodshot, and his facial expression was terribly distorted!

"Bang!!"

In the end, he vented all his anger on the wake-up wood, "Why are you still standing there? Draw lots!!!"

"Oh yes yes yes..."

Lu Hanyang and the others finally came to their senses and reached for the ballot box with trembling hands.

Soon, the draw was over.

The result was just as Ding Chen had expected: the first two matches of the competition were between the Luo family and the Lu family and the Zhou family respectively.

"This... ugh!"

When the draw results came out, many people in the Luo family were dejected.

In their opinion, without Luo Qinru, the chances of winning the team battle were slim.

As a result, now, even the luck to "pick up a bargain" is not on my side!

"The first team battle, Luo family versus Lu family!"

"Rule of the competition: All contestants on one side lose their fighting ability or fall off the stage."

"In this battle, life or death is of the essence!"

Xiao Jianyi shouted the last few words the loudest.

Even from a distance, one could feel his burning murderous intent towards Ding Chen!

"Both parties, enter the battlefield immediately!"

"Wait a moment."

Ding Chen suddenly waved his hand.

Luo Xianghe gloated over Ding Chen and said, "What are you waiting for? You should know that in a family battle, no one is allowed to give up halfway!"

"Otherwise, with one less person on our side, how can we expect to win?"

"If you insist on giving up and withdrawing, you will be charged with 'betraying the family', and your tendons will be cut and thrown into the monster forest to die!"

"Who said I was going to give up?"

Ding Chen was the first to step onto the stage in full view of everyone.

Then, he said to Xiao Jianyi, whose face was darkening, "I remember that in addition to the regular round-robin system, the 'Mine Competition' also had a 'first-vs-two' system."

"For example, if the patriarch of one family defeats the other two patriarchs at the same time in a one-on-two battle, then he will immediately secure the victory."

"Youth group battles are played the same way, right?"

"Yes, but so what?"

Xiao Jianyi replied coldly.

He didn't think that the Luo family youth group that Ding Chen was in could fight one against two.

Ding Chen grinned: "Haha, just admit it. I'm worried that you will cheat later, so I have to ask clearly in advance..."
