Chapter 226: Taking Zhu Zhuqing back to the Zhu family
Tang Qingxi smiled happily, but looked away.
I feel a little guilty for fooling a teenage child.
As long as Dai Mubai grows up for a few more years, Tang Qingxi is not sure whether he can comply with this request.
It was also thanks to the fact that Dai Mubai had a difficult life since he was a child, and later went to the Tiandou Empire. If he had been carefully raised by the Xingluo royal family since he was a child, Dai Mubai would never agree to this request.
After all, the ambitions of the Xingluo royal family are not small.
The Xingluo royal family is afraid that if the Wuhun Palace is gone, there will be no force that can stop them from attacking the Tiandou Empire and gaining more territories.
But now it's just a promise, it depends on whether Dai Mubai can really fulfill this promise.
The three of them did not stay in the big spirit fighting arena for too long. After watching a few spirit fighting games, Tang Qingxi was ready to take Zhu Zhuqing to the prepared courtyard to rest.
Dai Mubai walked the two of them to the courtyard door before saying goodbye and leaving. After walking a few steps, he suddenly turned back and watched Zhu Zhuqing follow Tang Qingxi into the courtyard, and then the courtyard door closed.
He sighed softly, turned around and left.
The next day, Dai Mubai came again early.
Of course this time he was here to send an invitation.
Today Tang Qingxi and Zhu Zhuqing decided to go to Zhu's house without asking Dai Mubai to accompany them. Zhu Zhuqing was a little surprised to see Dai Mubai appear again.
Tang Qingxi was not surprised and asked directly: "What, does the royal family have any arrangements?"
When she comes to Star Luo City, the royal family will not fail to take action.
"Well, Sister Xi always knows everything." Dai Mubai nodded and handed over the invitation, "My father will hold a banquet tomorrow night and wants to invite Sister Xi to attend. This is the invitation."
Tang Qingxi took the invitation and glanced at it. There was only one invitation, but her and Zhu Zhuqing's names were included.
Why is it that Zhu Zhuqing is also a disciple of the Pope, and his status in Wuhun Palace is not low.
"Okay, I understand. Has the Bishop of Wuhun Palace been invited?" Tang Qingxi closed the invitation and handed it to Zhu Zhuqing for her to keep.
"I was also invited." Dai Mubai replied.
"I will go to the banquet with the bishop." She might as well attend the royal banquet with the people from Wuhun Palace.
"Then the invitation has been delivered, so I'll leave first." Tang Qingxi didn't have Dai Mubai in his travel plan today, so Dai Mubai naturally didn't need to follow him, so he said goodbye and left after the invitation was handed to him.
Watching Dai Mubai leave, Tang Qingxi and Zhu Zhuqing strolled towards the Zhu family.
Their yard is in the aristocratic residential area, not far from the Zhu family.
However, according to the news from Wuhun Palace, since she and Zhu Zhuqing came to Xingluo City, the Zhu family has significantly reduced their number of outings. I don't know if it is because they don't want to meet them.
But no matter what, they were going to visit the Zhu family, euphemistically calling it a visit to relatives.
However, compared to the Zhu family, Tang Qingxi was more concerned about tomorrow's banquet and being able to have contact with the emperor of the Star Luo Empire.
The Star Luo Empire has always had a method of selecting successors. Each emperor must stand out from the many princes and become the best being before he can succeed.
This also makes every Star Luo Emperor strong and powerful. This Star Luo Emperor has the strength of a titled Douluo. Tang Qingxi is looking forward to the confrontation with this emperor.
All the way to the main gate of the Zhu family, when they saw the appearance of Tang Qingxi and Zhu Zhuqing, the guards guarding the gate looked a little strange.
Then one of them ran in quickly.
Tang Qingxi took Zhu Zhuqing and walked directly in. The guards did not stop them and watched them enter Zhu's house.
But there wasn't any entertainment.
After all, in essence, Zhu Zhuqing only wrote a letter to terminate his engagement with Dai Mubai, and did not truly sever ties with the Zhu family.
It's just that her behavior will make the Zhu family want to expel her from the family.
But now, Zhu Zhuqing is not only the champion of the Soul Master Competition, but also the disciple of the Pope of Wuhun Palace. This status makes the Zhu family very embarrassed.
Anyway, Zhu Zhuqing is still a member of the Zhu family in name only.
"Where did you live? Let's go take a look first?" Tang Qingxi could imagine that all the Zhu family members were probably gathered there in the Zhu family hall, but she was not in a hurry to go there.
Zhu Zhuqing did whatever Tang Qingxi said anyway, so he took Tang Qingxi to the yard where she originally lived.
Zhu Zhuqing's yard is not big, but it looks very clean.
Of course, it’s hard to say whether it was just cleaned or whether it has been cleaned all the time.
After all, Zhu Zhuqing also turned twelve years old in Zhu's family. He has lived in this courtyard for many years, and he still misses it when he comes back after a few years.
There are several wooden piles in the corner of the yard with scratches all over them.
Zhu Zhuqing walked slowly to the edge of the wooden pile and raised his hand to rub the scratches.
Tang Qingxi was also walking around in the courtyard. Although there was nothing interesting to see, overall it was relatively simple. This shows that the treatment given to Zhu Zhuqing by the Zhu family was not very good.
"Zhu Zhuyun's yard must be much better than yours," Tang Qingxi said.
Zhu Zhuqing was silent for a while, then slightly nodded: "Yes."
"Sister Xi, do you think the Zhu family knows Dai Mubai's true status? Is this also a training for me, or what?"
Thinking of the royal inheritance that Tang Qingxi mentioned before, Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.
"I'm not sure about this." Tang Qingxi couldn't give an accurate answer. Wuhun Palace couldn't find it in detail.
Regarding Dai Mubai, it was just her analysis.
Zhu Zhuqing pushed the door open and walked into the house. The inside was also clean and spotless, with not much furniture and it looked very simple.
This is because Zhu Zhuqing is dedicated to cultivating and becoming stronger, and has not done anything for himself.
Zhu Zhuqing walked to his bedroom, looked around, and frowned slightly: "All the clothes and accessories have been replaced with new ones."
"Are you afraid that I won't be able to wear my old clothes any longer and have to replace them with new ones?"
Zhu Zhuqing was a little confused and felt that the Zhu family would not be able to do this. After all, what she said in her previous letter basically revealed that she would not return to the Zhu family.
Now that she has come to Xingluo City, she has not conveyed any plans to live with the Zhu family. Moreover, she does not think that the Zhu family will treat her like this since she has almost betrayed a member of the Zhu family.
"No, the wardrobe is also new, but it's just been made older." Upon closer inspection, Zhu Zhuqing discovered something else. She had accidentally cut a small gap in the wooden board on the side of the wardrobe, but now the gap was gone.
Tang Qingxi directly broke off a piece of wood. The surface could be made old, but the inside clearly looked like new wood.
Tang Qingxi looked at the other furniture. Many of them were newly made and just old. She smacked her lips and said, "It seems that something happened in your room before you came back."
