Chapter 18 Zhu Lingtian

"Junior understands."

Zhu Zhuqing listened. She didn't know that Lin Bai couldn't stay long, so she thought it was just a reminder.

Lin Bai was silent, thought for a moment, and decided to take it one step at a time. The top priority was to complete his purpose of possessing Zhu Zhuqing, to understand the attributes of darkness, and to tap into the potential of Ruyi Qiankun Gun.

"You are in perfect condition and full of energy. It's time to go back and see what your family's attitude is towards your martial soul mutation."

Whether he can cancel the engagement and escape from the vortex of the throne depends on the opinions of Zhu's father and the Xingluo royal family.

Zhu Zhuqing was silent for a moment, her heart kicked in her stomach. She wondered if her father would be happy to know that her martial soul had mutated. With all her worries on her mind, she walked towards the exit of the Soul Hunting Forest.

As soon as he reached the street guarded by soldiers, two thin middle-aged men exuding a fierce aura stopped Zhu Zhuqing.

"Fourth uncle, fifth uncle."

Zhu Zhuqing stopped and said hello calmly.

The man known as Fourth Uncle had a serious face, his eyes were glaring like a tiger and a leopard, and he was staring at Zhu Zhuqing with a menacing aura.

"Zhuqing, tell the truth, why did you suddenly leave the Zhu Mansion without saying goodbye and come to the Soul Hunting Forest alone?"

A fierce aura hit his face, and a mountain of pressure fell.

Zhu Zhuqing's expression was tense, and he said the reason he had thought of: "My martial soul changed yesterday when I was practicing. Since no one cares about me, I will hunt the soul by myself, and I don't need anyone else to care about it."

Even if he lies, Zhu Zhuqing is not willing to bow to these alienated tribesmen.

"Hmph! What a joke!"

Uncle Wu had a stern look on his face and snorted coldly. Zhu Zhuqing left without saying goodbye, but they were shocked.

Dai Mubai is a prince and can run away, but Zhu Zhuqing, as the daughter of a minister, is not qualified to run away. If the royal family finds out, even if the two clans are closely related, for the sake of the royal family's face, they will have to be punished.

Wouldn't it be the entire Zhu family that will bear the consequences?

"Okay, Lao Wu, let's talk about this after we get back. Zhuqing, you said your martial spirit has changed. Release it and show it to your fourth uncle."

The fourth uncle turned around and motioned for Zhu Zhuqing to follow him, talking as he walked.

When things came to a close, Zhu Zhuqing's heart beat fiercely, and his eyes condensed. The Shadow Cat King was possessed by the martial spirit, and the dark king of cats appeared. The two middle-aged men's hair stood on end, and they actually felt the power from Zhu Zhuqing's blood. of suppressive power.

This is the suppression of the lower martial souls by the higher martial souls. Unless the difference in strength is too great, this suppression will always exist.

The fourth uncle and the fifth uncle stared wide-eyed and shook their heads in disbelief.

"The Nether Civet Martial Spirit feels suppressed. The family's Martial Spirit has not mutated for hundreds of years. Could it be that it is accumulating strength in the inheritance? What a powerful bloodline pressure!"

The fifth uncle looked amazed. Then he noticed that the fourth brother was in a daze, and the doubtful emotion disappeared in a flash, and he understood his concerns.

The eldest brother's legitimate daughter, Zhu Zhuqing, has mutated her martial soul and no longer has the ability to use martial soul fusion skills with the Dai family. However, once the marriage is proposed, it cannot be abolished. The target must be selected from these side branches. In the Zhu family, the fourth child There is a little girl of the right age at home.

"Fourth brother, I feel that the martial soul mutated by Zhuqing is not inferior to the white tiger martial soul. It may be able to form a stronger martial soul fusion skill. Don't think too much about it for the time being."

The fifth uncle comforted the fourth uncle. These were really just words of comfort. The martial soul fusion skill is so rare that any change in the martial soul fusion skill may cause the martial soul fusion skill to fail, let alone the mutation of the martial soul.

"Yes, it's a good thing. Big brother doesn't have to worry about having no successor. Maybe our Star Luo Empire will have a female general. Hahaha!"

The two of them heard the secret and saw their fourth uncle laughing. Zhu Zhuqing didn't know why he was so happy.

The fifth uncle on the side looked gloomy, because originally Zhu Zhuqing's father only had two legitimate daughters. Even if one daughter could become the queen of the empire, there would still be no successor. The future head of the family would be fought over by several of them, and the fifth son was the most talented. Well, there's a good chance that he has this idea too.

But now that Zhu Zhuqing's martial spirit has mutated, all the premises will change. What will happen in the future is still unknown.

The two of them looked at each other with disgust, and there was no sign of brotherhood or brotherly respect. This was the norm for the nobility of the Star Luo Empire. It was even more difficult for the Zhu family to maintain a friendly atmosphere between brothers in order to be the next generation head of the family.

"It's really a good show, but it's a pity that it's not convenient for me to release my mental energy. Zhuqing, you will return to Zhu's Mansion later and pay attention to the expressions of your elders. I want to watch a good show."

Lin Bai's tone was teasing, and he didn't know who he was mocking.

Zhu Zhuqing nodded silently. She didn't feel very close to these relatives in her heart. After awakening her martial spirit, she already understood that others respected the second young lady of the Zhu family, not her, Zhu Zhuqing.

The three of them were speechless all the way and returned to Zhu Mansion smoothly.

Zhu family ancestral hall.

Zhu's father's name is Zhu Lingtian, a very domineering name. He has an eighty-ninth level Soul Douluo cultivation level and serves as the general of the Star Luo Empire.

He is a middle-aged man of medium build. He sits tall and straight at the top of the ancestral hall. Many tribesmen below him are silent, drinking tea in silence with their heads down, and only dare to communicate with their eyes.

"Brother, I'm lucky to have fulfilled my destiny and brought Zhuqing back intact."

Zhu Si and Zhu Wu bowed their hands in salute. Since Zhu Lingtian is the patriarch, others must respect him even if he is his biological brother. This is the rule in aristocratic families.

"Well, fourth and fifth brothers, please take a seat."

Zhu Lingtian was not very close to his two younger brothers. He just ignored the business and looked at Zhu Zhuqing who was standing in the center of the hall.

"Xiao Qing, do you know your guilt?"

Zhu Zhuqing's heart twitched. She knew her father would punish her for running away from home without authorization, but she didn't expect whether he would directly accuse her when they met, or act like he was serving her according to family laws, as if she was not his daughter, but an ordinary member of the tribe.

No, maybe ordinary tribesmen would not be so strict.

That little clear sound is so ironic.

Other tribesmen watch their hearts with their noses and eyes. This is why Zhu Lingtian can still hold the position of clan leader without a legitimate son. In addition to the support of Emperor Xingluo, it is also related to his strict and fair handling of affairs.

"There is nothing in the clan rules that states that you cannot go to the soul hunting forest to hunt souls alone. Zhuqing is not guilty, so he is naturally not guilty."

Zhu Zhuqing directly refuted Zhu Lingtian's words, causing his eyes to freeze and shine with coldness. The instinctive reaction made Zhu Zhuqing feel cold all over. He suddenly felt that his father was so strange, and he no longer had the familiar feeling he had when he was a child.

Lin Bai found Zhu Si and Zhu Wu sitting next to them in the distance. They said nothing and had no intention of telling Zhu Lingtian that Zhu Zhuqing's martial spirit had mutated.

He sighed secretly and said, "Take the opportunity to release your martial spirit and fight against the oppression of your father's aura."

Zhu Zhuqing's eyebrows trembled, and then he released the Shadow Elvis Martial Spirit without saying a word. The arrogant and untrained Elvis held his head high and his chest high. Even though his strength was far from Zhu Lingtian, the essence in his blood still kept him looking down.
