Chapter 108 Father, I want to talk to you (more updates)

After a long silence, Zhu Zhuyun forced himself to calm down.

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, she asked in a dry voice: "Are you the Netherworld White Tiger?!"

The voice no longer had any of its previous softness.

"Isn't it?"

Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but be speechless after hearing this.

Indeed.

Regardless of the combination of the white tiger martial spirit and the ghost civet cat that combined this martial soul fusion technique, or the appearance of the ghost white tiger after the fusion, they were all the same as the ghost white tiger she had tried to perform with Davis.

But the terrifying aura fluctuations are completely different.

She had not the slightest doubt about the true power of the Netherworld White Tiger, nor did she think that the other party was bluffing.

Because she knows this martial soul fusion skill herself, she can tell at a glance whether it is true or false.

It’s just that I can’t believe this fact in my heart.

"The eldest lady of the Zhu family, the same martial spirit and the same soul skills are more or less powerful, let alone the soul skills that two people can perform together. Don't you know that a slight difference can lead to a loss of thousands of miles?"

At this time, Su Cheng's plain voice sounded from the side, "Martial soul fusion skills depend on the compatibility of the martial souls between the users. You can't imitate Zhuqing and I."

Zhu Zhuyun was silent for a while.

She was a pure layman in this aspect, but what Su Cheng said at this time seemed to make sense.

Zhu Zhuqing also fell silent.

When Su Cheng told her before that the Nether White Tiger performed by the two of them was different from other royal children, she didn't quite believe it.

Su Cheng also said the same thing at that time.

There is no doubt that both of them suffered from lack of education.

The Nirvana Sutra has the effect of purifying the quality of martial souls, she knows this.

But she didn't know that the subsequently improved Nirvana Sutra could not only refine the quality of martial souls, but also dig deeper into and strengthen its core information.

It is precisely because of this that their Netherworld White Tiger Spirit is so unique.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuyun no longer struggled with the issue of martial soul fusion skills.

Not to mention the unreasonably strong Netherworld White Tiger just now.

In terms of cultivation alone, the opponent's current advancement in strength also made her despair.

The time limit given by the royal family to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing is twenty-five years old.

Even based on Dai Mubai's age, Zhu Zhuqing still has nearly ten years to grow up.

It is not impossible to overtake her by one or two major realms by then. Looking at it this way, she and Davis have almost no chance.

However, she didn't want to die, even if she was exiled and imprisoned.

At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed in her mind, and she stared at Zhu Zhuqing's calm face.

"What did you mean when you just said, asking me to give up Davis?"

At this point, her expression moved slightly and she glanced at Su Cheng, who was standing behind Zhu Zhuqing.

After Su Cheng noticed the other party's eyes, he shrugged, nodded gently towards Zhu Zhuqing, then turned and left, leaving space for the two sisters.

It seems that Zhu Zhuyun realized what Zhu Zhuqing meant just now.

It's just that it involves the secrets of the royal family, and I feel that it's not convenient to go into detail with him as an outsider present.

Su Cheng naturally didn't care.

The cultivation and spirit fusion skills have now been explained and covered up in the past. What they want to talk about next is nothing more than future plans, and maybe also the issue of Su Cheng's own identity.

It doesn't matter whether he listens to these things or not. Zhu Zhuqing will tell him afterwards anyway.

Since Zhu Zhuyun wanted to talk to her sister alone, let them talk freely.

Zhu Zhuqing has been warned not to mention Zhu Hongtao's matter before. With Zhu Zhuqing's deep thoughts and the fact that she is not a talkative person, there should be no problem.

"Actually, there is no need to send Su Cheng away, he knows all these things clearly."

Zhu Zhuyun's heart trembled when he heard this.

The amount of information revealed in this sentence is too amazing.

She didn't want the fiancé arranged by the royal family for her, but instead found a bloodline from the Dai family who was living outside. Do you need to think carefully about the implications?

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Zhuyun tried to calm down.

Staring closely at the little girl in front of her whom she had not seen for many years.

"Zhuqing, you have really changed a lot now."

"I can't help it. Who can't help but grow up in such a family?" Zhu Zhuqing said calmly, "Isn't it the same for you, eldest sister?"

Zhu Zhuyun fell silent, and his experience of practicing hard day and night over the years flashed through his mind involuntarily.

No one wants their future to be decided in advance.

But their weak strength forced them to compromise with their own destiny.

Is it really such a coincidence that the Dai and Zhu families have been married for generations? The men and women in each generation will be in love with each other and wait for the day when they will voluntarily become husband and wife?

How can it be!

Even with martial soul fusion skills as a bridge, people's hearts are always changeable.

Martial soul fusion skills will only deepen the tacit understanding between soul masters, and will never subtly make users become lovers.

"Give me a reason to give up on Davis."

Zhu Zhuyun looked serious and said in a deep voice.

She thought the "same" in Zhu Zhuqing's words meant this meaning.

Little did he know that Zhu Zhuqing was also alluding to what "Zhu Hongtao" said about "your sisters are also working hard for this".

However, this topic was just passed by. The purpose of her conversation with Zhu Zhuyun today was not to reminisce about the past.

Zhu Zhuqing knew very well that at this time, she was not qualified to reminisce about the past.

As long as she roughly knows the other person's thoughts, she can make her final decision based on the other person's choice.

"You don't need to place your hopes on the royal family." Looking at the eldest sister who had grown up with him, Zhu Zhuqing's cold face softened a little and he said softly.

"The Dai family wants to use this method to cultivate an heir to the throne. Why should they drag us into the water?"

"really……"

Zhu Zhuyun stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar sister in front of him, feeling a little nervous.

"Have you really thought about it? Do you know the consequences of doing this? If you fail, do you know what the final result will be?"

Zhu Zhuqing observed the words and expressions at this time, and roughly knew some of Zhu Zhuyun's inner thoughts.

In fact, the other party wanted to be on her side, otherwise she wouldn't have been so hesitant. Her attitude had been very subtle from the moment they first met.

It's just out of fear of the royal family that I avoid speaking a lot.

After thinking about it, Zhu Zhuqing did not answer Zhu Zhuyun's question immediately.

Instead, he sighed and asked, "Sister, how do you feel about Davis?"

"What...feeling?"

Hearing her question, Zhu Zhuyun seemed a little confused for a moment.

There doesn't seem to be any special feeling, it's just that it's been this way all the way.

The eldest daughter of the family with extraordinary talents, the designated marriage partner of the two families, the future Crown Princess of the Star Luo Empire and even the Queen of the Empire.

She has never thought about stepping out of this framework and following her own path.

No one ever asked her which way she wanted to go.

At most, she just hopes to keep Zhu Zhuqing as safe as possible at the last moment.

"That man taught me to never lack the courage to break the rules."

Zhu Zhuqing stared at Zhu Zhuyun.

"I don't need your help. Just wait and see what happens. Giving yourself more room will also give you more choices for your future. This is not difficult for you, sister."

"..."

Zhu Zhuyun looked at her for a moment and nodded slightly.

"What is your relationship with that Su Cheng?"

Just when Zhu Zhuqing turned around and was about to leave, Zhu Zhuyun still couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and asked this question.

"We are just comrades-in-arms." Zhu Zhuqing turned around and said softly, "Besides, are we qualified to think about those insignificant things now?"

Zhu Zhuyun was stunned when he heard this.

More than ten years have passed by in a blink of an eye.

The situation in the Star Luo Empire looks calm on the surface, but in fact there are undercurrents surging inside.

However, under the suppression of the powerful power of the imperial royal family, these undercurrents can only be undercurrents and cannot create much waves.

The capital of the Star Luo Empire.

In front of the Zhu family residence shrouded in darkness, twenty-five-year-old Zhu Zhuqing was standing quietly here.

The long, slim-fitting jet black dress enveloped her from top to bottom, leaving only her cold and charming face with unique charm and her long black hair flying in the wind exposed.

Although she was standing alone at this moment, she still carried the majesty of a leader who had lived among others for a long time.

Just this one person, it seems like there are thousands of troops following behind her, and the starlight in the sky is just for her.

If anyone else looked at her, they would even subconsciously ignore her beautiful face, leaving only an unfathomable phantom in their mind.

Not long after, the door of the Zhu family opened with a bang.

Different from those years ago, it was not just a few servants from the mansion who greeted her now.

Even the head of the Zhu family, Zhu Hongtao, Duke of Netherworld, stood not far from the door waiting for her to enter.

Zhu Hongtao looked at the little daughter in front of him, looking dazed for a while.

In these years, Zhu Zhuqing rarely went home.

Most of the time, he was either practicing outside to improve his soul master level, or working in the upper echelons of the empire.

The growth rate was completely beyond his expectation, and he kept it secret.

It was only in the past two years that an astonishing amount of energy erupted, completely muddying the deep pool at the top of the empire.

First, he shocked the entire imperial capital by reaching the peak of the sixty-ninth level soul emperor at the age of twenty-four. Then he forcefully postponed the long-established engagement with the third prince Dai Mubai in the name of cultivation, and the royal family The succession battle has been extended by five years.

The most important thing is that most of the nobles have clearly expressed their support for Zhu Zhuqing's actions.

In the past ten years, her influence has spread silently to the entire empire's upper circles.

And with this kind of reputation, even the imperial family could not turn a blind eye and agreed to her request.

After all, the Baihu Dai family is just the largest noble.

This Star Luo Empire is not the emperor's alone. He also needs to consider the influence of all parties.

In addition, the prince Dai Mubai failed to live up to expectations, and Zhu Zhuqing himself did not clearly express his rejection of the marriage, but just postponed it.

Even Zhu Zhuyun, one of the other heirs, expressed his willingness to wait another five years.

On this basis, even the emperor had no reason to firmly oppose it.

The eldest prince Davis expressed his objections.

After all, Dai Mubai was holding him back. At this moment, two against two, he and Zhu Zhuyun might have a chance. Otherwise, with Zhu Zhuqing's qualifications, who knows what level he would reach in another five years.

But it was obvious that he alone could not reverse the situation.

In the current Star Luo Empire, anyone who meets Zhu Zhuqing must be polite.

This is not only because of her strength and background, but also because of the amazing potential she has shown over the years.

She is even often compared to Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo of the Haotian Sect who was famous back then.

"Father."

Zhu Zhuqing stepped into the gate of the Duke's Mansion and bowed gently to Zhu Hongtao.

"Why did I suddenly have time to go home today without notifying me in advance?"

Zhu Hongtao said with a smile, like a loving father.

Now in Zhu Hongtao's mind, Zhu Zhuqing has a high probability of becoming the next empress of the empire.

"I have something important to tell you. Is it inconvenient for you right now?"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's serious face, Zhu Hongtao couldn't help but become solemn.

Considering the opponent's current strength and position, it is obviously no small matter that it can still be regarded as an "important matter".

After Zhu Hongtao pondered for a moment, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said in a deep voice, "Follow me."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to wave the servant away and led her to a study room behind the main hall of the Zhu family.

After Zhu Zhuqing also walked in, Zhu Hongtao reached out to close the door and turned around to look over.

"Tell me, what happened."

Zhu Zhuqing didn't show off, took out a manuscript from his arms and handed it over.

He said softly: "Father, the reason why I have advanced so quickly over the years is precisely because of this ancient and unparalleled cultivation method."
