Zhu family, meeting hall.
A somewhat rough middle-aged man sat in the main seat, holding a teacup and tasting the tea brought out from the Xingluo royal family.
This person is the head of the Zhu family, Zhu Zhuqing’s father—Zhu Yi!
With his nearly two-meter height and sturdy build, it is difficult for him to combine with the Netherworld Spirit Cat as his martial spirit.
There were three elders sitting beside him, including Shen Yan, who was in charge of the reception yesterday.
"Zhu Qing, come and sit here!"
Zhu Yi pointed to the seat next to him.
This was a position he added temporarily. Zhu Zhuqing's performance in recent years has been very good and has been recognized by the entire Zhu family.
The emergence of this position means that the Zhu family has planned to train Zhu Zhuqing as the next heir.
"No!"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned at first, then spoke coldly.
In the past, let alone this position, she was not even qualified to stand in the meeting hall.
All she could think of as she stood here was the Zhu family's cold-bloodedness. Now, no matter what she did, it would not move her in the slightest.
"Zhu Qing, you should know what this position means."
"This is what the young disciples of the Zhu family dream of. Now the elders and I are giving you this opportunity. You should shoulder this responsibility."
Zhu Yi sat in the main seat, his voice filled with anger.
This girl has been away for so many years and not only has her strength increased, but her temper has also increased.
"Father, I don't agree!"
Before Zhu Zhuqing could refuse, another unfriendly voice was heard.
After hearing this harsh voice, her body trembled subconsciously and her fists clenched unconsciously.
Who else could it be except Zhu Zhuyun!
"The Zhu family's rules are to make the future heirs of the family more outstanding. Let us compete fairly, and the winner will inherit the family."
"Why did I let that little bitch Zhu Zhuqing inherit the family position?"
Zhu Zhuyun stared at Zhu Zhuqing viciously.
She hated her father and the elders, and she hated Zhu Zhuqing even more.
If this little bitch didn't come back, the position of clan leader would be hers.
She now regrets not killing Zhu Zhuqing!
"Zhuyun, this is a discussion between me and these elders, you should know the rules."
Zhu Yi's eyes suddenly turned cold.
In fact, he had already thought about the arrangements for Zhu Zhuyun. Since she was the legitimate daughter, he would definitely not ignore her. It would be best for her to assist Zhu Zhuqing in the family.
Of course... the premise is that this girl won't do anything reckless.
"Father-in-law, the rules are passed down from generation to generation. Even if you want to deprive Zhuyun of the right to compete for the clan leader, you need to give a reasonable reason."
"Otherwise... if Zhu Zhuqing is allowed to sit in this position, how many members of the Zhu family will obey her?"
Just then, Davis came out.
"Your Highness, do you have any good ideas?"
Zhu Yi would not ignore Zhu Zhuyun, but he could not ignore Davis.
After all, the person standing in front of him was the future monarch of the Xing Luo Empire.
The reason why Zhu Zhuyun was allowed to stay in the family was actually because of the relationship with Davis. After all, this girl was the future prince's consort and also Davis's martial arts fusion partner.
But the Zhu family didn't want to serve the royal family as dogs forever, so they planned to make Zhu Zhuqing the heir of the family and Zhu Zhuyun the crown princess of the Xingluo royal family.
The best of both worlds!
"Why not follow the Zhu family's rules?"
"Let the two sisters Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing fight, and the winner will inherit the family."
This was the idea he gave Zhu Zhuyun yesterday. Both the Zhu family and the Xingluo royal family highly advocate the use of force.
So... fists are the hard truth!
If Zhu Yi disagrees, then he will have a way to deal with the Zhu family.
"Okay, no problem!"
Zhu Zhuqing agreed immediately.
She did not covet the position of the head of the Zhu family. On the contrary, this position made her feel disgusted.
The reason why she agreed so readily was that she wanted to deal with Zhu Zhuyun.
This idea has been in her mind for a long time!
Zhu Yi looked at the two sisters and weighed the pros and cons: "Okay, it's decided."
In fact, he had the same idea in his mind. Zhu Zhuyun still had many supporters in the Zhu family. If he put Zhu Zhuqing in the position of the family heir, it would probably be difficult to convince everyone.
And they can also see the true strength of the two sisters through their fighting spirits.
"Chief, this..."
Shen Yan was a little worried. Zhu Zhuqing was six years younger than Zhu Zhuyun. This six-year gap was nothing to old guys like them, but it was a world of difference for Zhu Zhuqing who just turned fifteen.
If Zhu Zhuqing lost, wouldn't they have to give up a good seedling
"Do as I say!"
Zhu Yi finalized the whole thing with just one sentence.
He already had a plan in mind. If Zhu Zhuqing didn't lose too badly, as long as he could see the value of training her, he would not give up on her and would even encourage the two sisters to continue competing.
"Okay, when!"
Zhu Zhuyun's cold eyes fell on Zhu Zhuqing.
This was her chance, a chance for the Zhu family to show their abilities, and also a chance for her to take control of the Zhu family.
She will definitely trample that dead girl Zhu Zhuqing under her feet so hard that she will never be able to stand up again.
"Right now!"
Zhu Zhuqing didn't want to wait any longer.
"good!"
A sneer appeared on Zhu Zhuyun's lips. This was also what she wanted to see.
The news that the two sisters were going to compete for the family heir through fighting spirits spread throughout the Zhu family within a few minutes.
The Zhu family members didn't need any organization at all, they all ran towards the Zhu family's fighting spirit arena on their own initiative.
For the Zhu family, this fight is equally crucial to them, because it determines who they should curry favor with next.
Ever since Zhu Zhuqing ran away, the entire Zhu family seems to be less lively!
“Huh~~”
Zhu Zhuqing took a long breath, letting herself relax and keep herself in the best condition.
"take it easy!"
"You don't plan to be the clan leader anyway. If you can't win this time, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Wei Fan put his arm around Zhu Zhuqing's shoulders and rubbed them gently with his palms to relax her body.
"Does this count as encouragement?"
"It's better not to say it!"
Zhu Zhuqing glanced sideways.
"I thought a cold person like you wouldn't like flattery."
Wei Fan said with a smile.
Zhu Zhuqing closed her eyes and rested, not continuing the previous topic.
But I have to say that this guy's joke just now did make her feel a lot more relaxed.
At this moment, her mind kept recalling Zhu Zhuyun's soul skills and habits during combat.
In fact, over the years, she has been studying ways to deal with Zhu Zhuyun. After becoming Yue Guan's apprentice, she even asked him how to fight when facing the Nether Spirit Cat.
