Chapter 101 Xiaoqing, you have to learn to use Su Cheng

"If you want to change the fate of your family, just work hard." Zhu Hongtao said in a deep voice, "You know, your eldest sister is also working hard for this." "

"Sister...?" Zhu Zhuqing looked slightly startled.

"Yes, but if you all can't succeed, you can only follow the tradition of the Star Luo Empire." Zhu Hongtao nodded, "I will help you secretly. That's right, it's not just you, your sister and I are too I also gave her a lot of pointers.”

He sighed, "I hope you can have a chance to end all this, but to be honest, the possibility is too small. If you can't do it, be prepared to die. Don't blame me for being ruthless, this is my mission as the head of the family. .”

Zhu Zhuqing nodded silently, feeling a little heavy in his heart.

"We don't have much time today. Let me give you one last suggestion."

A sneer appeared on Zhu Hongtao's face, "Make good use of that boy from the Su family."

"Su Cheng?" Zhu Zhuqing was stunned when he heard this.

"Yes, that's him." Zhu Hongtao put his hands behind his back and looked indifferent.

"I'm afraid you don't know yet, but he is the illegitimate son of Emperor Xingluo. He has the blood of the White Tiger family flowing through him and possesses the White Tiger martial spirit of the Dai family."

"White Tiger...Martial Spirit..."

Zhu Zhuqing's expression contained surprise and surprise.

She had indeed never seen Su Cheng use his martial arts in the past.

No wonder...

No wonder there was that weird sense of martial soul resonance when we first met.

"But Dai Mubai..." Zhu Zhuqing showed a trace of hesitation on his face.

"Dai Mubai?" A hint of sneer appeared on Zhu Hongtao's face, "You are still thinking about him. Now he doesn't know where he is hiding and trembling. Do you want to count on a coward?

"Xiao Qing, you have to remember that you should never lack the courage to break the rules. If you don't dare to break such small rules, why do you want to break bigger and stronger shackles?!

"And, for you, Su Cheng has the biggest advantage."

Zhu Hongtao looked at Zhu Zhuqing meaningfully, "He is the illegitimate son of the Dai family. Do you know what this means?"

"What?" Zhu Zhuqing was stunned when he heard this and did not react for a while.

"Think about it for yourself."

After hesitating for a moment, she asked hesitantly: "You mean, he has no right to inherit the royal family?"

"Pah! Pah!" Zhu Hongtao lightly slapped his palm twice and chuckled.

"You are finally willing to use your brain a little bit.

"You're right, he doesn't have a legitimate identity, which is a key point. This means that when the two of you work together, it's easier for you to gain the initiative.

"And as an illegitimate son, he may be even more dissatisfied with the royal family than Dai Mubai and others.

“I think he is also an ambitious person.

“That’s not a bad thing.

"Ambitious people have stronger desires and are more likely to be exploited. In fact, this is not about exploitation. It's a win-win, isn't it?

“Of course, you must firmly grasp the master-slave relationship.

"You have to remember that he is just your pawn, not your partner."

Zhu Zhuqing lowered his head and repeated his words softly, "chess pieces..."

"Yes, if you choose this path, you will be destined to be alone. If your heart cannot be hardened, don't waste any more time, let alone my energy."

"..." Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed for a while, and then he became firm.

Looking at Zhu Hongtao, he said solemnly: "I will do it."

Zhu Hongtao nodded and continued:

"Over the years, I have also gained some new insights into my family's Netherworld Spirit Cat Spirit and the Netherworld White Tiger Spirit Fusion Skill, which I will slowly teach you in the future.

"In the future, the martial soul fusion skills between you and Su Cheng may be performed with you as the leader.

"At that point, you'll be close to taking control of your own destiny."

His face gradually became serious.

"Remember, this matter must not be noticed by the royal family. If you don't want to die, don't reveal this in front of anyone. On the surface, it should be the same as before. Treat me, Xiaoyun and the others like this.

"Similarly, I will still maintain my past attitude towards you on the surface.

"I think you should know now what kind of relationship we have with the Dai family, right? You should also be able to understand what the consequences will be if they know my thoughts.

"You may not know that your sisters love you far more than you think. Including your second sister and third sister, they are also working hard in their own way.

"Perhaps when it comes to a life-or-death decision, Xiaoyun may be willing to give up his own opportunity to help you."

At this point, his expression suddenly became cold and stern.

“But that’s your own choice and has nothing to do with me.

“After I leave this door today, don’t mention what happened tonight to anyone, including your sisters.

“If you really do this, it will only hurt you each other and destroy the Zhu family in the end.

"Just keep everything as usual on the surface."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded equally seriously.

She is now fully able to understand her father's good intentions.

We also know how huge the risks here are.

"That kid is probably coming back soon." Zhu Hongtao's expression softened, and he turned and walked out the door, "From now on, at the end of every month, you can quietly leave the academy and come out to see me. If you have any problems in the academy, you can Ask me together. Xiaoqing, don’t let me down."

"Dad, wait a minute-"

Seeing that he was about to leave, Zhu Zhuqing quickly spoke to stop him.

After saying that, he quickly ran back to his bedroom.

After a while, he walked out holding a slightly old bear doll.

"Dad, do you remember this?"

"Huh?" Zhu Hongtao looked slightly startled.

After being stunned for a while, he finally came to his senses and said, "Ah, isn't this the puppet I gave you back then? I didn't expect you still have it. If you like it, I can buy you a new one in the future."

Not long after Zhu Hongtao left, Su Cheng came back from using the toilet.

Without knocking, he just opened the door and walked in.

"Huh?"

After Su Cheng entered the door, he found Zhu Zhuqing standing in the middle of the front hall holding the old doll.

He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why did you suddenly take out that thing? Didn't you treat it like a treasure before and didn't even let me take a look at it?"

After speaking, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing a few more times, with some confusion on his face.

"Why don't you put on that dead face of yours?"

"..." Zhu Zhuqing ignored his teasing and turned around and returned to the bedroom.

"That doll was indeed given to her by her father."

When Su Cheng left the Duke's Mansion, he was sweating secretly.

That broken doll almost exposed his flaw, but fortunately he reacted in time and was pretty lucky.

At that time, he had no time to think more and could only tell the most likely option.

There was an element of gambling involved, but luckily he was right.

It's okay to pretend to have forgotten, but it will definitely affect Zhu Zhuqing's dependence and trust in his other identity, which will inevitably be detrimental to subsequent plans.

To be honest, with Zhu Zhuqing's current IQ, he didn't think the other party could come up with tentative ideas on the spur of the moment.

It's probably just that I haven't experienced the taste of family affection for a long time, so I made this move subconsciously.

Choosing Zhu Hongtao as the disguise object was a choice made by Su Cheng after careful consideration.

First of all, this person needs Zhu Zhuqing to be trusted enough.

Secondly, this identity must not be easily exposed to the public, or it must rarely appear, or it must simply not have a good relationship with Zhu Zhuqing at this stage.

In addition to Zhu Hongtao, Su Cheng originally considered Zhu Zhuyun or a teacher in a certain college.

But he was a little unsure about the relationship between the former and Zhu Zhuqing. There were too many possible conflicts and intersections between the two, and it would be easy for them to get involved in the future. As for the latter, he did not have enough position to do this, and it was difficult to inspire Zhu Zhuqing's belief and ambition.

After coming to the Duke's Mansion for observation today, he found that the Netherworld Duke was an excellent candidate for disguise.

He has an indifferent attitude, a deep mind, and a position and reason to do this.

The most important thing is that he has almost no contact with Zhu Zhuqing on weekdays.

Needless to say when I was in the academy.

Even if his daughter returned home, he would just say a few perfunctory words, greatly reducing the possibility of exposure.

As for what he said about helping Zhu Zhuyun, that was naturally made up by him.

Su Cheng didn't know Zhu Zhuyun's true attitude towards Zhu Zhuqing.

Judging from the original timeline, it is indeed incredible that Zhu Zhuqing could escape that level of pursuit, but what if she was really lucky?

Those words were just to strengthen Zhu Zhuqing's belief and give her more reasons to lead her family out of the quagmire.
