Zhu Zhuqing returned to his bedroom and jumped onto the bed with a bang.
Looking a little confused.
After all the suppressed emotions during this period were released, my brain felt a little empty.
This feeling is actually similar to Sage Time, and most people should have experienced it.
But Zhu Zhuqing is still young after all and does not know the existence of sage time, so he is so confused and even a little scared.
Even she herself was a little unbelievable about her outburst just now.
‘How could I say that to my mother? Or are those my real thoughts? ’
She didn’t even think that she would say so many words in one go!
She fell into the soft quilt, immersed in the afterglow of the pleasure just now, and couldn't extricate herself for a long time.
"Miss, the master of the house asked you to go to the main hall to meet her."
After the knock on the door, the maid's voice interrupted Zhu Zhuqing's lingering thoughts.
She sat up suddenly, her expression switching in an instant, and returned to her calm appearance.
"Got it."
Zhu Zhuqing knew that the conversation just now was purely a one-sided way for her to vent.
It’s not yet the turn of the Beast Soul Alliance’s mission progress.
And then comes the main event.
‘The questions she would ask and say were generally just a few, and Amona had already helped me sort out a response plan. ’
She was not even in a hurry, but took a slow bath. After washing away the fatigue of this period, she went straight to the main hall with this idea in mind.
The door opened, and as Zhu Zhuqing walked into the main hall, it closed naturally.
And Zhu Lanyan held the throne in the main hall high.
Human beings are always affected by things such as symbols and identities that have no real power and are entirely influenced by humanistic and subjective psychological influences. They feel the temperament, majesty and pressure that seem to be substantial.
We call it authority.
Like the throne, by raising the height and position of the seat, it can naturally give people a feeling of oppression.
This is why Zhu Lanyan changed her location and chose such a place.
Obviously, the situation of Zhu Zhuqing's return that she had never imagined before prevented her from giving corresponding instructions to the guards. As a result, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly broke in and struck a critical blow. This made Zhu Lanyan feel that her majesty was greatly affected. challenge.
She must find her place and her original face.
The mother and daughter looked at each other silently.
Even though Zhu Zhuqing had anticipated such a situation, humans, animals that appear to be rational but are actually driven by instinct in most cases, simply cannot achieve perfect self-control.
Just the change of scene made Zhu Zhuqing feel the pressure.
However, she has received targeted training after all.
She didn't know how to relieve such pressure, but she maintained a superficial calm and looked at Zhu Lanyan.
“After killing my sister, can’t I even say hello to my mother?”
After looking at each other for a long time, Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes never shifted, and Zhu Lanyan finally took the lead. , questioned Zhu Zhuqing with filial piety.
However, what she didn't know was that for Zhu Zhuqing, who had been taught the goal of subverting Xingluo's cruel blood competition mechanism, such false filial piety and friendship were the things she despised the most.
The anger that had been dormant was once again aroused.
"A family that has long been fighting each other for power among blood relatives is now paying attention to such superficial skills? If this is a noble, this is the royal family of Xingluo, then it is really funny! "
Zhu Zhuqing's face was full of ridicule and he retorted sharply.
Zhu Lanyan's face froze and her expression was extremely ugly. She felt as if her face was being slapped as hard as possible by her daughter.
She never thought that Zhu Zhuqing would speak so sharply that she would be speechless.
“Sharp teeth and sharp mouth!”
Unable to find a point to refute, Zhu Lanyan cursed angrily and went directly to the next topic: "No matter how we compete, it is ultimately an internal matter of our Zhu family! And you, Zhu Zhuqing, if you didn't use the power of external forces, how could you Can you kill your sister? How dare you question your family in front of me? The family tradition? The decisions of countless family ancestors and even the founding emperor are not your turn to use the power of outsiders to deal with the rebellious questioning of your own family!"
"Is this right?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at his mother who was trying to use her ancestors to suppress her, and the last bit of filter was completely lost.
Looking at Zhu Lanyan now, she felt that compared to the many advanced ideas of the Beast Soul Alliance, this seemingly noble lady was just glamorous on the outside, but was already rotten and old on the inside.
What is there to be afraid of such a person?
Zhu Lanyan scolded coldly: "You are not qualified to argue with me about right and wrong!"
The powerful soul pressure tried to overwhelm Zhu Zhuqing's knees.
After Zhu Zhuqing completely disenchanted Zhu Lanyan, at least on a purely spiritual level, he could no longer be overwhelmed by her.
Although Zhu Zhuqing is indeed a person who goes with the flow and is more inclined to rely on the strong than to actively explore new paths, she is not without her merits.
Her biggest advantage is... she can endure hardship!
She's not the kind of person who really knows how to persevere.
If you really want to become stronger and have such persistence, you will definitely continue to work hard to find and figure out how to become stronger more efficiently.
Zhu Zhuqing obviously does not have such qualities.
Just like the original time and space in Shrek Academy, she will only pursue authoritative advice, regardless of whether the plan is feasible or not.
But at least...she has the ability to execute.
To put it bluntly, this guy is the Innate Pallu Holy Body! She is a stubborn person who silently accepts the criticism!
She doesn’t know what persistence is, but at least she can stand up!
Faced with Zhu Lanyan's soul pressure, she just held her head up in a daze, not letting her knees bend completely.
She even continued to mock and attack Zhu Lanyan: "What should I do? Are you going to kill me? Kill my only daughter? If you find another wild man now, maybe you can catch up with the next one Before the emperor succeeded to the throne, a new emperor was appointed When the little boy comes out?”
Although the Zhu family is a member of the royal family, it is not the Dai family after all. What’s more, even the members of the Dai family actually use other help in the process of competing with each other, or A situation that caused some big forces to dismount. Even if Zhu Zhuqing used the power of external forces to counter-kill Zhu Zhuyun, at least it was confirmed that the interference of this force was indeed beyond their expected controllable range, otherwise it was actually within the promised range.
Just like Davis's brother now has many big nobles standing.
The background arranged by the Beast Soul Alliance for Zhu Zhuqing, Marquis Casas, a member of the royal family, is obviously within this range.
According to logic, unless Zhu Lanyan had a seizure, it would be impossible to really kill Zhu Zhuqing. Considering Davis's age, the child she continues to give birth to will not be a princess, so she must look for candidates from other collateral lines, which will inevitably lead to a loss of her own power.
Not to mention Schrödinger's mother-daughter friendship, as long as Zhu Lanyan still has some sense, she will not really be cruel to Zhu Zhuqing, and will only threaten or intimidate him twice.
As long as there is rationality...
The problem is that Zhu Lanyan was completely hit by Zhu Zhuqing who was very happy with her mouth, and her defense was completely broken.
"Zhu! Zhu! Qing!"
Zhu Lanyan showed a ferocious expression that was completely unlike what a mother should show in front of her daughter. In Zhu Zhuqing's somewhat astonished eyes , a dark energy claw shadow shot towards Zhu Zhuqing at an extraordinary speed.
Zhu Lanyan is still young. As the head of the Zhu family and the only daughter of the newly appointed Xingluo Emperor, she has enjoyed the best resources since she was a child and is now a powerful soul saint.
Although he is not the strongest person in the Zhu family, he is still ranked as one of the top fighters.
After completing the sublimation of the soul saint stage, the martial soul has naturally reached the top quality. Even if the martial soul is not possessed, just using the dark energy to attack is enough to threaten the ordinary soul king. who.
Zhu Zhuqing did not expect that his mother would actually take action against him, and he looked stunned.
First of all, in her eyes, she did not take the initiative to kill Zhu Zhuyun, but a legitimate counterattack when she was being chased. But Zhu Lanyan took the initiative to kill him, which was completely different in nature.
Secondly, she felt that she and Zhu Lanyan were mother and daughter after all. Although the relationship was a little weak, it was definitely not without emotion.
In fact, both of her judgments are very reasonable.
Her biggest misjudgment is that when an individual possesses otherworldly power, his or her behavior will inevitably follow whatever he wants.
This is even more true in Douluo Continent, which does not pay attention to cultivating the mind.
Perhaps Zhu Lanyan will also fall into deep regret after killing Zhu Zhuqing.
But at this moment, facing the second daughter who had just killed his beloved eldest daughter and dared to provoke him one after another and howl in front of him, Zhu Lanyan was murderous and no one was around. No one could suppress her, so they directly chose to take action.
With such an attack, Zhu Zhuqing realized very clearly that he would definitely die.
The script did not go in the direction she had imagined. While Zhu Zhuqing felt stunned, looking at Zhu Lanyan's crazy face, he also felt a sense of relief...
But at this moment , a figure suddenly appeared from Zhu Zhuqing's shadow. In Zhu Zhuqing's astonished eyes, he blocked Zhu Zhuqing with a pace that looked leisurely but was actually incredibly fast.
"As expected, there was an accident."
You Xing whispered to himself, blocking Zhu Lanyan's nether claw strike with one hand.
"Young Master -" Zhu Zhuqing stared blankly with his black pearl-like eyes. Before he could say the title, his voice was interrupted by Zhu Lanyan.
“Who are you!?”
After Zhu Lanyan came to her senses, she also trembled her arms violently. She obviously regretted it, but the most urgent task was that Yu Xing suddenly appeared. uninvited guest.
She was briefly intoxicated by Yusei's handsome and young face, quickly adjusted her expression, looked at Yusei with cold eyes, and asked: "How did you sneak in here?"
Yusei is like a young gentleman who has been copied one-to-one according to the gentleman template in knight novels. , made a salute, then calmly raised his head, looked directly into Zhu Lanyan's eyes, and said: "I am the 'external force' that Zhu Guogong mentioned just now, a guard from the Casas family, named You Xing. This trip is exactly what I said. My young master ordered me to escort Miss Zhu Zhuqing back to the Duke's Palace and perform the duties of protection."
Zhu Zhuqing's pupils dilated slightly, suppressing the sound of surprise.
Obviously, whether it was Yu Xing who inexplicably became the bodyguard of the Casas family, or whether Yu Xing, the young alliance leader, condescended to be her bodyguard, it was all beyond Zhu Zhuqing's expectations.
On the other side, just as You Xing thought, Zhu Lanyan relaxed a little after hearing You Xing's self-declaration. At least the Casas family, the force supporting Zhu Zhuqing, has not yet reached the level of an external force.
But instead he put on a arrogant air: "Not to mention your identity certificate, the Casas family's bodyguard, you haven't answered my second question yet."
Zhu Lanyan It's natural to be arrogant.
Although the Marquis Casas family is a marquis family, it has been in decline for nearly a hundred years. It is completely a fringe family in the empire. Although some viscount families still look up to them, for some prosperous count families, they no longer have authority. In private, They all call them down-and-out nobles.
Compared to the Zhu family, which is at its peak, it is nothing worth mentioning.
Even if Yusei had easily blocked his casual attack just now, at least he still had the fighting power of a Soul King.
With Yu Xing's appearance and age, he is definitely an extremely dazzling genius, and Zhu Lanyan does not take him seriously.
This is the aristocratic style.
Unless it is an individual who is powerful enough to ignore the country, no matter how powerful it is, they will think that they can overwhelm it with power.
Zhu Zhuqing's heart tightened.
She knows Yusei’s identity deeply.
It was just an emergency rescue. How could he really think that the other party was his bodyguard and let Zhu Lanyan interrogate him like a servant? ?
You Xing didn't look at her, but Zhu Zhuqing felt that You Xing was looking at her.
She immediately straightened her face, forgetting the fear of being trapped in hell just now, and said to Zhu Lanyan in a cold voice: "Zhu Lanyan, he is my bodyguard, not a member of the Zhu family. There is no reason to answer your question."< br>
Zhu Lanyan’s eyes flashed.
He did not reprimand his daughter for calling her by her first name. Instead, she calmed down completely and said with a smile: "So firmly standing on the Casas family's position? It seems that you already know that. And you plan to bet on the Casas family completely?"
Zhu Zhuqing's expression did not change.
The so-called incident involved the Beast Soul Alliance's plan, and she naturally knew about it before returning to the Zhu family.
He was indeed shocked and speechless at first, but after such a long time, although Zhu Zhuqing was still extremely shocked, he was not unable to accept it.
As for what specific things can make Zhu Lanyan change her attitude all of a sudden?
On the same day that Zhu Zhuqing agreed to join the Beast Soul Alliance, You Chen sent an avatar to assassinate Davis, the current crown prince of the Star Luo Empire.
This matter naturally caused an uproar in the Xingluo royal family immediately, and they were frantically looking for the assassin everywhere.
In addition to finding the assassin, another major event also followed - the change of the crown prince's position. (End of chapter)
