Chapter 108 Father, I Want to Talk to You (Updated)

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

Swallowing her saliva, she asked in a dry voice: "You are the Netherworld White Tiger?!"

The voice no longer had the previous softness.

"Isn't it?"

Zhu Zhuyun was speechless when she heard this.

Indeed.

Whether it was the white tiger martial soul and the Netherworld spirit cat that combined this martial soul fusion skill, or the appearance of the Netherworld White Tiger after the fusion, they were exactly the same as the Netherworld White Tiger that she and Davis had tried to use.

But the terrifying aura fluctuations were completely different.

She did not doubt the true power of the Netherworld White Tiger at all, and she did not think that the other party was bluffing.

Because she herself knew this martial soul fusion skill, she could tell whether it was true or not at a glance.

It was just that she could not believe this fact in her heart.

"Miss Zhu, the same martial soul and the same soul skill can have different powers, not to mention the soul skills performed by two people working together. Don't you know the truth that a slight difference can lead to a huge loss?"

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

Zhu Zhuyun was silent for a while.

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

Zhu Zhuqing was also silent.

When Su Cheng told her before that the Nether White Tiger they used was different from other royal children, she didn't believe it.

Su Cheng also said the same thing at that time.

There is no doubt that these two people suffered from their lack of education.

She knew that the Nirvana Sutra had the effect of purifying the quality of martial souls.

But she didn't know that the later improved Nirvana Sutra could not only purify the quality of martial souls, but also deeply explore and strengthen its core information.

It is because of this that their Nether White Tiger martial souls are so different.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhuyun no longer bothered about the problem of martial soul fusion skills.

Let alone the unreasonably strong Nether White Tiger just now.

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

The deadline given to Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing by the royal family is 25 years old.

Even if calculated by Dai Mubai's age, Zhu Zhuqing in front of her still has nearly ten years of growth time.

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

However, she does not want to die, even if she is exiled and imprisoned.

At this time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, and she stared at Zhu Zhuqing's calm face.

"What do you mean by letting me give up Davis?"

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

After noticing the other party's eyes, Su Cheng shrugged, nodded slightly to Zhu Zhuqing, and turned to leave here, leaving the space for the two sisters.

I think Zhu Zhuyun has realized what Zhu Zhuqing said just now.

It's just that it's about the secrets of the royal family, and I feel that with an outsider like him present, many things are not convenient to talk about in detail.

Su Cheng naturally doesn't care.

The matters of cultivation and martial soul fusion skills have been explained and covered up. What they are going to talk about next is nothing more than future plans, and perhaps Su Cheng's own identity.

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

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

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

"In fact, 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 shocking.

Is it necessary to think about the meaning of not wanting to marry the fiancé arranged by the royal family and looking for such a blood of the Dai family who is out of the country?

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

Staring at the little sister in front of her who she hadn't seen for many years.

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

"There is no way. Born in such a family, who can't grow up?" Zhu Zhuqing said lightly, "Aren't you the same, big sister?"

Zhu Zhuyun fell silent, and her experience of day and night hard training in these years flashed involuntarily in her mind.

No one wants their future to be determined in advance.

But the weakness of power forced them to compromise with their respective destinies.

The marriage between the Dai and Zhu families for generations is really such a coincidence. In every generation, men and women will fall in love with each other and wait for one day to voluntarily become husband and wife?

How is it possible!

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

The martial soul fusion technique will only deepen the tacit understanding between soul masters, and it has never been said that it will subtly make the users become lovers.

"Give me a reason to give up Davis."

Zhu Zhuyun said in a serious voice.

She thought that Zhu Zhuqing's "same" meant this meaning.

But she didn't know that Zhu Zhuqing was actually referring to Zhu Hongtao's statement that "your sisters are also working hard for this."

However, this topic was only mentioned briefly. The purpose of her conversation with Zhu Zhuyun today was not to reminisce about the past.

Zhu Zhuqing knew very well that she had no right to reminisce at this moment.

As long as she roughly knew the other party's thoughts, she could make her final decision according to the other party's choice.

"You don't have to pin your hopes on the royal family." Looking at this elder sister who grew up with her, Zhu Zhuqing's cold face softened a little and said softly.

"The Dai family wants to use this method to cultivate the heir to the throne, why do they want to drag us into the water?"

"Sure enough..."

Zhu Zhuyun stared at the familiar yet unfamiliar sister in front of her, and her heart tightened a little.

"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 her words and expressions at this time, and roughly knew some of Zhu Zhuyun's inner thoughts.

In fact, the other party wanted to stand on her side, otherwise she would not be so hesitant. Her attitude was very subtle from the beginning.

It was only because of her fear of the royal family that she avoided many words.

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

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

"What...feeling?"

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

It seemed that there was no special feeling, but she had been walking this way all the way.

The eldest daughter of a family with extraordinary talent, the designated marriage partner of the two families, the future Crown Princess of the Xingluo Empire and even the Empress of the Empire.

She had never thought of jumping out of this framework to walk her own way.

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

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

"That person told me that I should never lack the courage to break the rules."

Zhu Zhuqing stared at Zhu Zhuyun.

"I don't need you to help me with anything. Just wait and see. Leave yourself more room, and you can also give yourself more choices in the future. This is not difficult for you, sister."

"..."

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

"What is your relationship with that Su Cheng?"

Just as Zhu Zhuqing turned around and prepared to leave, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but ask this question.

"We are just comrades." 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 passed in a flash.

The situation in the Xingluo Empire seemed calm on the surface, but in fact, there were undercurrents inside.

But under the suppression of the powerful imperial family, these undercurrents can only be undercurrents and cannot cause too much waves.

The capital of the Xingluo Empire.

In front of the Zhu family mansion under the cover of night, the 25-year-old Zhu Zhuqing was standing quietly here.

The black slim-fitting long dress wrapped her from top to bottom, leaving only the delicate face with unique charm in the coldness and the long black hair fluttering in the wind exposed.

Although she was standing here alone at this time, she had the majesty of a leader who had been in power for a long time.

This person, as if there were thousands of troops following behind her, and the stars in the sky were only for her.

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

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

Unlike the past, it was not just a few servants in the mansion who greeted her this time.

Even the head of the Zhu family, the Duke of the Netherworld, Zhu Hongtao, was standing not far from the door waiting for her to come in.

Zhu Hongtao looked at his little daughter in front of him, his expression was dazed.

In these years, Zhu Zhuqing rarely went home.

Most of the time, he was either practicing outside to improve his soul master level, or welcoming and sending people around in the upper echelons of the empire.

Not only did his growth rate completely exceed his expectations, but he had been forbearing.

It was not until these two years that he burst out with amazing energy and completely stirred up the deep pool of the upper echelons of the empire.

First, she shocked the entire imperial capital by reaching the peak of the 69th level Soul Emperor at the age of 24. Then, in the name of cultivation, she forcefully postponed the long-established marriage contract with the third prince Dai Mubai, delaying the battle for the royal heir for five years.

The most important thing is that most nobles actually clearly expressed their support for Zhu Zhuqing's behavior.

Her influence has spread silently to the entire upper circle of the empire in the past ten years.

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

The White Tiger Dai family is only the largest noble family after all.

The Xingluo Empire is not a one-man show for the emperor, and he also needs to consider the influence of all parties.

In addition, the prince Dai Mubai is not competitive, and Zhu Zhuqing herself has not clearly stated that she refuses the marriage, but has only postponed it.

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

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

The eldest prince Davis did express his opposition.

After all, with Dai Mubai holding him back, he and Zhu Zhuyun might still have a chance in a two-on-two situation. Otherwise, with Zhu Zhuqing's talent, who knows what level he will reach in five years.

But it is obvious that he alone cannot reverse the situation.

In the current Xingluo Empire, anyone who sees Zhu Zhuqing must be courteous.

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

Some people even often compare her with Tang Hao, the Haotian Douluo of Haotian Sect who was famous at that time.

"Father."

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

"How come you suddenly have time to come home today without informing me in advance."

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

Now in Zhu Hongtao's heart, Zhu Zhuqing has a great chance of becoming the next empress of the empire.

"I have something important to tell you, I wonder if it is convenient for you now?"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's serious face, Zhu Hongtao's expression could not help but become solemn.

Given the other party's current strength and status, it can still be regarded as an "important matter" by him, which is obviously not trivial.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhu Hongtao looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said in a deep voice: "Come with me."

He waved his hand to dismiss the servants and led her to a study behind the main hall of the Zhu family.

After Zhu Zhuqing walked in, Zhu Hongtao closed the door and turned to look over.

"Tell me, what happened?"

Zhu Zhuqing did not keep it a secret and took out a manuscript from her bosom and handed it over.

She whispered: "Father, the reason why I have made such rapid progress in recent years is precisely because of this unprecedented cultivation method."
