the next day.
The news of Zhu Yi's defeat to Wei Fan spread throughout Xingluo City.
This incident was like a bomb exploding in Xingluo City, and the voices of discussion became louder and louder.
Zhu Yi is also a celebrity in Xingluo City because of his relationship with the Xingluo Empire and his Soul Douluo strength.
He actually lost to a young soul master like Wei Fan...
At first, many people didn’t quite believe it, but the story became more and more intense as it spread, and in the end even the Zhu family didn’t come out to clarify, which led many people to choose to believe it.
"It's unbelievable how the head of the Zhu family could be defeated by a young boy like Wei Fan."
"Don't underestimate Wei Fan because he's young. He's already a Soul Sage!"
"So what if he's a Soul Saint? Zhu Yi is a Soul Douluo."
"You are right. It is outrageous that Zhu Yi, one of the best soul masters in Xingluo City, lost to a soul saint."
"This isn't the most ridiculous thing. The most ridiculous thing is that the second daughter of the family, Zhu Zhuqing, wants to break up with the Zhu family."
"The competition in the Zhu family is so fierce, it's normal for them to want to break up!"
"It's that kind of family. It's either you or me. Who wants to stay here?"
"I heard that the Zhu family specially invited the second young lady Zhu Zhuqing back this time because they wanted her to be the future heir of the family."
"But now, people don't care about it at all."
"This face was slapped!"
"… "
Such discussions could be heard in the hotels, weapon shops, and large fighting arenas in Xingluo City, places where soul masters gathered.
Everyone is now watching the excitement of the Zhu family, and they all want to see how the Zhu family, which has an alliance with the Xing Luo Empire, will end up this time.
… …
Xingluo City, Zhu Family.
"asshole!"
"Which bastard leaked this information?"
Zhu Yi was furious when he learned about this. He had been blocking the news just because he didn't want it to leak out.
But in less than a day, the news became known to everyone!
"check!"
"Investigate the Zhu family from top to bottom to find out who it is."
Zhu Yi almost roared as he said this.
"Master, now is not the time to investigate this matter."
"There are hundreds of people in the Zhu family, so it's inevitable that some of the servants let the cat out of the bag when they go out to chat."
"What we should consider now is how to solve the current troubles."
"By now, I'm sure the news has reached the Xingluo royal family. Those nobles are keeping an eye on us."
"… "
At this moment, Shen Yan stood up.
There are several nobles in the royal family who are at odds with the Zhu family and want to step on them. If it weren't for the fusion technique of the Xingluo royal martial soul, their current status might have been lost long ago.
After this incident, I’m sure those old bastards will jump out!
If this matter is not handled properly, the Zhu family's status in Xingluo City will be damaged.
The most important thing is that Zhu Zhuqing wants to draw a clear line between herself and the Zhu family. If this really becomes a reality, it will be tantamount to breaking the rules passed down from generation to generation in the Zhu family.
By then... they will really become a laughing stock of the entire Xing Luo Empire!
Emperor Xingluo might even think that the Zhu family was gradually spiraling out of control. Once it really came to that point, the royal family would definitely use the imperial power to control the Zhu family, thereby preserving the Netherworld White Tiger martial soul fusion skill.
At that time, their Zhu family would really become dogs of the Xing Luo Empire!
"Oh, what else can I do!"
"Let's do as we agreed yesterday."
Zhu Yi had no other choice. He had thought that letting Zhu Zhuqing inherit the position of the head of the Zhu family and letting Zhu Zhuyun marry into the Xingluo royal family as the prince's consort would be the best of both worlds.
I didn't expect... things would come to this point!
If it were in the past, he could still rely on tough measures to make Zhu Zhuqing obedient, but now after Wei Fan appeared, everything has changed completely.
That perverted guy...the Zhu family can't beat him!
If the power of the royal family is used, the nature of the situation will change completely.
So after several elders discussed with him, they decided to... negotiate peace!
As long as Zhu Zhuqing agrees to stay and gives Wei Fan some benefits, the rumors outside will naturally be refuted.
… …
Zhu family backyard.
"How many people did you find to help you spread the news?"
Zhu Zhuqing knew last night that Wei Fan had gone out to find someone to spread the news, but she didn't expect it to be so terrifying.
Early in the morning, the entire Xingluo City was in uproar!
"Um... I just treated someone to a meal!"
Wei Fan scratched his head. He was also puzzled by this matter.
He just wandered around the tavern where the soul masters gathered in Xingluo City, and then said, "Master Wei will pay for all the consumption!"
Then, he chatted with those people for a while about the Zhu family's affairs, so as not to make the whole Xingluo City an uproar so quickly.
Was the effect of his meal so great
wrong!
There’s something fishy going on here!
"Oh, I don't want to think about it anymore!"
"This matter is beneficial to us, why think about it?"
"Pack up, let's get ready to leave the Zhu family!"
For Wei Fan, now is the best time to leave the Zhu family.
When Zhu Yi heard that Wei Fan was going to take Zhu Zhuqing away, he was completely panicked.
If Zhu Zhuqing and Wei Fan left, what would happen to the Zhu family
He immediately led all the elders to try to stop them!
"Zhu Qing, wait a minute!"
Just when Wei Fan and others were leisurely walking to the door of Zhu's house, Zhu Yicai hurried over.
"Zhu Qing, you are a member of the Zhu family. This is an unchangeable fact."
"It is also your responsibility to inherit the position of the head of the Zhu family."
"Today, I promise you in front of all the elders that you are the future heir of the Zhu family, and there will never be a situation where I compete with you again."
The fighting between the two sisters yesterday had already demonstrated Zhu Zhuqing’s talent and strength, and she was still able to win even though she was seven years younger than Zhu Zhuyun.
In the future, there is no need to compete anymore!
As long as nothing unexpected happens to Zhu Zhuqing, she will definitely become the future heir of their family, and as the patriarch, he is also announcing this matter in advance.
"I told you, I don't need it!"
Zhu Zhu was as cold as an ice cube. In the cold and ruthless cage of the Zhu family, her heart had long been as hard as a stone.
It's impossible to expect her to be grateful to you just by doing such a small favor!
Moreover, she didn't care about the position of clan leader at all. All she wanted was to be with Wei Fan.
"Zhu Qing... maybe the family didn't consider your feelings before, but this is the family's rule. You will understand it naturally when you become the clan leader."
"You are the best soul master in the family. If you stay, all the family's resources will be tilted towards you!"
Zhu Yi tried his best to suppress his emotions. He was not used to talking to Zhu Zhuqing in this manner.
"ridiculous!"
"I, Zhu Zhuqing, will have no relationship with the Zhu family in the future, and will not participate in the competition for the clan leader."
After saying that, Zhu Zhuqing walked out of the Zhu family's door without looking back.
She said this clearly and loudly, so that some soul masters in Xingluo City who were planning to watch the fun could hear it clearly.
“Good fellow!”
"He doesn't even want the position of clan leader anymore. This is really cruel."
"The Zhu family has lost face in Xingluo City this time."
"Yes, even the rules left by our ancestors have been violated. If we want to engage in this kind of vicious family competition again, we will probably be regarded as a joke."
"… "
Seeing more and more soul masters gathering together, Zhu Yi's face turned pale.
This damn girl, he had already lost face, but she still refused to stay. The worst thing was that she actually said this in front of so many people.
This is obviously intentional!
"Don't follow me!"
"Be careful or I'll beat you up!"
Seeing that Zhu Yi could no longer suppress the rage in his heart, Wei Fan turned around and said.
When he said this, he did not suppress his voice at all, so that almost all the soul masters outside could hear it.
"you… "
Zhu Yi's eyes were bloodshot.
"Chief, calm down!"
"If we act rashly now, our Zhu family will be finished."
Several elders quickly held Zhu Yi down. If they rushed forward and punched him, they would be beaten by Wei Fan again.
Then the Zhu family is the one who has brought shame upon itself!
"Close the door and go back!"
Zhu Yi said with a gloomy face.
Only now did he understand that the damn girl Zhu Zhuqing came back not to inherit the family, but to bring down the entire Zhu family.
"It's great that the problem has been solved!"
"Should we find a place to celebrate Zhu Qing's escape from the Zhu family?"
"I think this is fine. I'll treat you. No one can grab it!"
"Where to go, Zhuqing, you decide!"
"Oh, I almost forgot. You were locked up in Zhu's house all day and you are not familiar with the situation in Xingluo City."
"Ning Rongrong, you did it on purpose, didn't you? I think you deserve a beating."
"Come on, come on, lululu..."
"… "
When a few people walked on the streets of Xingluo City, they attracted other people's attention.
Zhu Zhuqing's face showed a relaxation and a smile she had never had before.
"Boy, follow me!"
The Thorny Porpoise Douluo walked over from the street.
"It's you, old man. Long time no see."
His attention had just been on the shops on both sides of the street, and he was thinking about where to treat his guests to a big meal.
"Come with me!"
Thorny Porpoise Douluo did not say it explicitly, but he believed that Wei Fan would be able to understand who was looking for him.
Led by the Thorny Porpoise Douluo, they came to the top floor of a very luxurious hotel in Xingluo City.
"Everyone, I'm so sorry!"
"You guys can't go in."
The Thorny Porpoise Douluo stopped Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu and others.
Qian Renxue's identity is still a secret, and only very few people know it.
"I'll be back soon!"
Wei Fan said.
"Everyone, follow me over here."
Thorny Porpoise Douluo led the girls to another luxurious room to rest, while Wei Fan walked towards the innermost private room alone.
"Wow, you look so pretty today!"
Wei Fan was still a little uncomfortable after seeing Qian Renxue in women's clothing.
Whenever the two met before, it was basically in the identity of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. Like today... it seems to be the third time!
But this should be the first time that Qian Renxue took the initiative to dress as a woman in front of him. She was forced to do so before.
"The fact that you have the Vast Sea Universe Cover has been exposed, and now Emperor Xue Ye wants to recruit you."
Qian Renxue told the Tiandou royal family the result of their discussion without any beating around the bush.
"I know!"
"So which force are you coming to me on behalf of?"
"Spirit Hall or Heaven Dou Empire?"
The matter of the Vast Sea Universe Cover had already reached his ears.
He had already guessed that the Tiandou Empire would send someone to find him, and he even anticipated who the person would be.
"Isn't it obvious enough now?"
Qian Renxue stretched out her hands and let Wei Fan take a look at her outfit.
Her identity today is the Young Master of Spirit Hall—Qian Renxue!
"So you're planning to use color now?"
Wei Fan's eyes wandered over Qian Renxue's body, and he had to say that this woman had a really great figure.
"boring!"
"I'm talking to you about serious matters."
Qian Renxue glared at him and instantly tightened her coat.
"You should know my answer."
"But I can tell you for sure that I will never join the Tiandou royal family."
He has already made up his mind that he will never join any faction before he understands the test from the God of the Sea.
Unless... special circumstances!
For him, the most important thing is whether he can become a god.
As for the various forces in Douluo Continent, he has no time to worry about them.
"Aren't you worried that the Tiandou Empire will cause you trouble?"
"The empire has lost its national treasure, so we must do something, otherwise we will lose face."
Back then in the imperial palace, those people led by Ge Long all wanted to capture Wei Fan and take back the national treasure.
In the end, her method was adopted, but Emperor Xue Ye did so in order to recruit Wei Fan into the royal family.
If Wei Fan disagrees and still shows off the national treasure of the Tiandou Empire outside, the royal family will definitely not agree to it.
“I did have some concerns before, but not anymore!”
Wei Fan chuckled. He just happened to get some inspiration when he was solving the Zhu family's problems.
"What is the solution?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
"Mystification!"
"Okay, I should go now."
Wei Fan stood up and walked towards the door. Just as he reached the door, he suddenly thought of something and turned back.
"How have you thought about the matter your grandfather mentioned before?"
He moved closer to Qian Renxue and immediately smelled a faint fragrance coming from his nose.
"What is it?"
Qian Renxue was a little confused by his question.
The only thing currently discussed between her and the Elders' Hall was the undercover plan, and she hadn't talked to her grandfather about anything other than the undercover plan for a long time.
"Didn't the old man ask us to get along with each other?" Wei Fan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"You wish!"
Qian Renxue glared at him, she knew that there were several women around Wei Fan.
“Let’s go!”
"Where are you going?"
"Take care of me. We should meet again soon."
Qian Renxue looked at Wei Fan's leaving back and fell into deep thought...
