Chapter 225: All this seems to be arranged by God, contrary to common sense Xiao Tian smiled and said, "Isn't it enough for you to have a super Douluo like Dugu Bo, who is level 96, as your backing? Or is it that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is not enough?" Zhu Zhuyun was speechless and said stubbornly, "They are them, and you are you. I guess Senior Dugu Bo helped you to repay you for your favor, right? What if the favor runs out? What if the Xingluo Royal Family troubles our Zhu family again? And the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, will they be willing to help you? They should also be doing it for Ning Rongrong's sake, right?" Xiao Tian chuckled: "I think you are overthinking it. Do you think I would call him an old monster just to repay my favor? Is it possible that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect needs me, and we have a cooperative relationship?" Zhu Zhuyun: “Also, to tell you the truth, after the Soul Master Competition is over, I will be leaving the Tiandou Royal Academy and heading to the sect I founded. Dugu Bo will be the guest elder of my sect, and Zhu Qing will follow me and will not be returning to the Xingluo Empire. And I have also told Davis that if the royal family dares to take action against the Zhu family because Zhu Qing does not return, then don't blame me for letting the old monster poison them!" Zhu Zhuyun was shocked: "Are you going to let Dugu Bo massacre the royal family? Once it gets out, his reputation will be even worse. He is still a guest elder of your sect, aren't you afraid?" Xiao Tian smiled and said, "Did I ever say that I would let the old monster slaughter all the members of the royal family? I will never let the old monster do something that would ruin his reputation. But if the emperor of the Xingluo royal family dares to ignore my warning, then he will no longer be the emperor. I believe that he will know what to do!" Zhu Zhuyun had nothing to say. Indeed, if Emperor Xingluo valued his life, he would have rushed over to curry favor with Dugu Bo. How could he dare to do anything else? Zhu Zhuyun looked at Zhu Zhuqing, and when she nodded, she became troubled. Xiao Tian did not give Zhu Zhuyun too much time to think, and asked directly: "Zhu Zhuyun, can you tell me your true thoughts now? Don't think about lying to me. Once you lie, I can see it." Then, Xiao Tian directly opened his Sword Heart Eye. At such a close distance, any slight change in Zhu Zhuyun's expression could not escape his observation.

Zhu Zhuyun took a deep breath and exhaled, as if she had made up her mind: "Yes, your guess is pretty much right. The reason why I hunted down Zhu Qing was not because I really wanted to kill her. Even if I really wanted to do so at the time, my parents would not agree." Zhu Zhuyun looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "Zhuqing, think about it. I mobilized so many people to hunt you down. As the head of the Zhu family, would your father not know about it? But he still acquiesced to my doing so. You don't really think your father is cold-blooded, do you?" Zhu Zhuqing looked hesitant and whispered, "Actually, I have really thought about this. Since I awakened my martial spirit, my parents' attitude towards me has changed. Although they don't target me as secretly as you do, they seem to have gradually become more distant from me." Zhu Zhuyun smiled and said, "Haha, this is actually quite normal. From the moment you awakened the Netherworld Spirit Cat Spirit and were betrothed to Dai Mubai, it meant that you were forced to participate in the competition for the royal heir. As parents, they naturally cannot be biased. It's the same for you and me." Zhu Zhuqing: "That is to say, whether you assassinated me or hunted me down, my father and mother knew about it?" Zhu Zhuyun waved his hands and said, "Of course. Father is a Soul Douluo after all. How could he not know that you were assassinated in the Zhu family? Didn't you notice that the timing of his appearances is always very coincidental? He always appears when you are about to give up, or when other family guards appear." Zhu Zhuqing: Well, she really didn’t think so much at the beginning. She was only a few years old at that time, and thinking about how to survive and how to become stronger occupied almost all of her time. How could she have the time to think so much? Zhu Zhuqing looked at Zhu Zhuyun with resentment and said, "Why didn't you tell me, sister? I always thought..." Zhu Zhuyun: "Why? Do you really think I want the throne? Helping Davis to ascend the throne, what good will it do me as the so-called queen? If he succeeds to the throne, he will be able to rule the country and have three thousand beauties in his harem, but what about me? Besides the title of queen, what else do I have? Countless gold, silver and jewelry? What's the use of that to me? For the position of the queen, I even cruelly killed my two sisters! Do you know how your second sister died? After her cultivation was abolished and she was sent to the territory, she died not long after because of the riot of local bandits! " As Zhu Zhuyun spoke, her tears flowed more and more. She had kept these things in her heart for a long time and had no one to tell. Your own parents? No, the two of them might know something about the inside story, but as the patriarchs of the Zhu family, they need to keep their distance until the competition is over. Zhu Zhuyun knew very well that although they were the head of the Zhu family and the Duke of the Xingluo Empire, they seemed so powerless in front of the royal family. Moreover, there is a very strange phenomenon in the Xingluo royal family. From ancient times to the present, the royal family members who possess the White Tiger Martial Soul are almost all men, and you will never see a princess possessing the White Tiger Martial Soul! She once thought, if a princess of the royal family possessed the White Tiger Martial Soul, and her Zhu family happened to have a male possessing the Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul, if the two were combined, would the fusion of martial souls be dominated by the White Tiger or the Netherworld Spirit Cat? But according to his understanding, the combination that can perform the Netherworld White Tiger martial soul fusion skill must be a prince and a girl from the Zhu family, without exception! It seems like it was arranged by God, which goes against a very common martial arts theory. The offspring of a soul master will most likely inherit the highest quality soul from their parents. The high probability here is still due to the rigor of the theory, but basically this high probability can be equivalent to more than 95%! This also led to the Xingluo Zhu family being suppressed by the royal family and could only be dukes, and their women could only be appendages of the royal family. Zhu Zhuyun looked at Zhu Zhuqing and said, "At the beginning, I hunted you down, which was actually a disguised way of protecting you. I escorted you safely across the border between the two empires, so that you were safe and escaped this so-called fate. But I didn't expect to meet you in the Soul Master Competition. You knew that we would represent Xingluo Royal Academy to participate in the competition, so why did you come?" (End of this chapter)
