Chapter 770 Reunited After a Broken Mirror
Zhu Zhuyun remained silent for a long time.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at her sister, her feelings complicated, and remained silent.
She could roughly guess why her older sister had come looking for her.
He was simply trying to convince himself to return to his family.
However, she had already made up her mind that she would never go back with her sister under any circumstances.
My sister already had no say in the family's affairs, and now she's lost to me in the competition. If I go back to the family, how will my sister survive?
Even if she had no intention of harming her sister, those stubborn old men in the family would certainly not let her off easily.
Therefore, I absolutely cannot go back.
Only in this way can my sister's life be saved.
As long as I don't go back, then the Zhu family of the Grand Duke's Mansion in the Star Luo Empire will only have my sister Zhu Zhuyun as the heir in line, and she is the only qualified direct descendant heir.
Even though the old fogies in the family were so conservative and dissatisfied, they ultimately had no choice but to hand over the position of head of the Zhu family to her elder sister, Zhu Zhuyun.
This is the ending that Zhu Zhuqing herself most wanted to see.
"It seems you sisters have something to say to each other, so we won't disturb you. Zhuqing, why don't you have a good talk with your sister?"
Seeing that Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing stared at each other for a long time without saying a word, Ye Qifeng seemed to realize something and quickly and tactfully gave the two sisters some time.
However, before leaving, he didn't forget to mention it to Zhu Zhuqing:
"Oh, by the way, the street scene of Wuhun City is quite nice. You can take Miss Zhuyun for a good stroll."
After saying that, Ye Qifeng left with Ruiwen and the others, leaving only the Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing sisters at the scene.
Zhu Zhuyun originally had a lot to say, but when she saw her younger sister Zhu Zhuqing getting along well with the members of the Spirit Hall's second team and having a great time, she no longer had the courage to speak.
Staring at her younger sister's face for a long time, until Zhu Zhuqing's expression grew increasingly suspicious, Zhu Zhuyun finally sighed, regaining her usual gentle demeanor, and softly said:
"Zhuqing, the reason I came here this time is actually to say goodbye to you."
Zhu Zhuyun ultimately did not reveal her true thoughts, but instead bid farewell to Zhu Zhuqing.
At this moment, she silently thought to herself, since her younger sister has found a better place, why let her return to the cruel environment of the family to suffer? Letting her stay here with the Spirit Hall might make her more comfortable.
"bid farewell?"
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and looked at her sister in surprise:
"Are you leaving?"
Zhu Zhuyun nodded softly with an "Mmm," her gentle voice carrying a hint of regret and complexity.
"After losing to your Spirit Hall's second team, Star Luo Royal Academy's journey in this Elite Soul Master Tournament has come to an end, and there is no need for us to stay here any longer."
"Moreover, this is Spirit City, which is the territory of the Spirit Hall. Although we are here as envoys representing the Star Luo Empire, the relationship between the two forces is not exactly friendly."
"The longer they stay in Wuhun City, the more dangerous it will be for them, so it's best to leave as soon as possible."
Hearing her sister's words, Zhu Zhuqing raised her delicate eyebrows slightly, her expression unreadable. After all, she was now a member of the Spirit Hall, and had a very good impression of it.
"Well... sister, I think you're overthinking it."
"Based on my understanding of the Spirit Hall, they wouldn't go so far as to attack you participating students. After all, this is the time when the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament is being held. No matter how bad the relationship is, the Spirit Hall wouldn't risk its reputation."
"I lived in the Spirit Hall for more than two years and I have a fairly good understanding of it. In my opinion, the Spirit Hall has a good reputation and is not as bad as the Star Luo Empire claims."
"Those are nothing but malicious demonization and deliberate slander; it's not like that at all."
"Actually, as long as you don't provoke trouble, the Spirit Hall won't bother you. And to be honest, staying in Spirit City right now might be much safer than staying in Star Luo Imperial City."
Zhu Zhuyun listened quietly as Zhu Zhuqing finished speaking, and finally sighed:
"Zhu Qing, it seems you really like the Spirit Hall."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing nodded quite calmly:
"Yes, I really like the Spirit Hall."
"After all, the Spirit Hall gave me a new life, allowing me to stay away from the vortex of family infighting and freeing me from the constant anxiety and fear of losing my life caused by the cruel competition forced upon me by my family."
"Here, I don't need to think about any of these things. I can be myself and take control of my own destiny."
"And I also have everyone here, my sisters, they've all been so kind to me."
Looking at the sweet smile on Zhu Zhuqing's face, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but feel a little dazed. It seemed like she hadn't seen her younger sister smile so happily for many years.
Ever since her younger sister was chosen as the successor to the Zhu family of the Xingluo Grand Duke's Mansion, the two sisters became enemies, and her younger sister never showed a smile in front of her again.
Every time we meet, he's basically cold and aloof, even colder than an ice cube.
Seeing the genuine smile on Zhu Zhuqing's face, Zhu Zhuyun felt a sense of relief, and the weight on her heart was finally lifted.
But at the same time, a sense of melancholy welled up in her heart, specifically for herself:
"Yes, Zhuqing has already found her own path, but what about me? Am I destined to be bound by the rules of my family for the rest of my life?"
"Perhaps it is because I always obey my family's arrangements that I lack the decisiveness, adventurousness, and ambition that Zhu Qing possesses."
"So, that's why I failed?"
Zhu Zhuqing took Zhu Zhuyun for a stroll through the bustling streets of Wuhun City, experiencing the unique local customs and culture of the city.
The two sisters chatted a lot along the way.
Although there was some initial awkwardness and unfamiliarity, the sisters quickly overcame their initial estrangement as they started chatting and gradually became closer.
In a daze, it felt as if I had returned to my childhood.
The two sisters walked hand in hand down the street. Suddenly, Zhu Zhuyun paused slightly, smiled at Zhu Zhuqing, and sincerely congratulated her:
"Oh right, Zhuqing, I haven't congratulated you yet."
"I heard that your Spirit Hall's second team defeated the Shrek Seven Devils and secured the other spot in the final competition. Congratulations!"
None of the members of the Star Luo Royal Academy watched this match, because the team had already fallen apart after losing to the Spirit Hall's second team.
Seemingly feeling utterly humiliated, Davis, along with several other team members, fled back to the Star Luo Empire overnight.
Zhu Zhuyun, having been left behind after a major argument and falling out with Davis, was in a state of utter confusion and naturally had no interest in watching the game.
She learned this news through hearsay when she came looking for Zhu Zhuqing.
Otherwise, she really wouldn't have known that Zhu Zhuqing and her Spirit Hall second team had made it to the final competition.
"I didn't expect that you would have mastered skills like the Seven-in-One Fusion Technique and the True Form of the Weapon Spirit. You are truly amazing."
Zhu Zhuyun then sighed and said:
"It seems that we were indeed outmatched back then, and I'm completely convinced that we lost to you."
After speaking, she looked steadily at Zhu Zhuqing:
"Zhuqing, you're very good, much better than me."
Hearing her sister's words, Zhu Zhuqing smiled faintly:
"Sister, you flatter me. Actually, it was all thanks to Brother Ye and the sisters. It had little to do with me."
"If it were my older sister and her sisters working together, she could do it too, and maybe even better than me."
Zhu Zhuyun didn't pay attention to what Zhu Zhuqing said next. When she heard Zhu Zhuqing mention Ye Qifeng, she was completely stunned.
"Hmm? Brother Ye? Who is this person?"
Zhu Zhuqing instinctively offered an explanation:
"It's His Highness the Holy Son."
Zhu Zhuyun suddenly realized:
"Oh—, it was him."
Then, with a question in his mind, he asked:
"But why do you call him 'Brother Ye'? Shouldn't you call him His Highness the Holy Son?"
Meeting Zhu Zhuyun's puzzled gaze, Zhu Zhuqing smiled slightly and patiently answered:
"Sister, you don't know this, but Brother Ye is actually a very easy-going person, and he treats us like his own sisters."
"Several of the girls in our team treat him like a brother, even more so than a real brother."
"So, he's basically called 'Brother Ye,' 'Brother Ye,' or 'Brother Qifeng.'"
"Of course, you can call him that in private. In public, you should still address him as 'Your Highness,' after all, we need to be mindful of the impact."
Zhu Zhuyun stared wide-eyed in astonishment, as if she were only just learning who Ye Qifeng was.
"That lecherous fellow actually has such a gentle and easygoing side?"
"Hmm, thinking about it carefully, it seems that's really the case."
"Back then, I attacked him so roughly, but he didn't seem angry at all; he just knocked me unconscious."
Even though I later accused him of being a lecher, he didn't try to settle accounts with me; instead, he let me go.
"So, it seems this Night Saint has a pretty good temperament after all."
Zhu Zhuqing was unaware of Zhu Zhuyun's inner thoughts, but as if by telepathy, she suddenly asked:
"By the way, sister, why do you always call Brother Ye a 'lecher'? I've heard it so many times. Did Brother Ye do something to you in the past?"
Zhu Zhuyun's expression froze, and she was speechless for a moment:
"Huh? This, this, this..."
Zhu Zhuqing stared wide-eyed at her sister beside her, seemingly harmless. Zhu Zhuyun, feeling embarrassed by her gaze, could only recall what had happened in the Star Dou Great Forest years ago:
"Okay, I see."
After hearing the whole story, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly realized:
"Oh—I see."
"But I think you must have misunderstood Brother Ye, sister."
"Because there were more than just Brother Ye there; Sister Jiu was there too."
"And Ninth Sister is also an absolute beauty, no less stunning than you, Sister."
Ninth Sister? Who is this person? Were there other women present at the time? How come I didn't see them?
Zhu Zhuyun looked completely confused and had no choice but to ask Zhu Zhuqing for an explanation:
"Zhuqing, who exactly is this Ninth Sister?"
Zhu Zhuqing replied with a smile:
"Ninth Sister, Ninth Sister is Brother Ye's older sister. Although they're not blood-related, she's a powerful Title Douluo. Her name is Nihuang, and she's the Ninth Elder of the Spirit Hall, with the title 'Spirit Kite'."
"."
I don't know if it's because they just got back together, or what, or maybe it's just a woman's nature.
The two sisters, Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, had so much to talk about that they couldn't stop chatting. After discussing Lingyuan, Douluo, and Nihuang, they turned their attention back to Ye Qifeng.
"Zhuqing, what kind of person is that Ye Qifeng, the Night Saint? Tell your sister in detail."
"Brother Ye is a really nice guy. Sister, let me tell you, Brother Ye is very likable. You wouldn't believe it, so many pretty ladies are vying for him right now!"
"What?! So many women are fawning over him? Damn it, he really is a lecher!"
"Sister, you're here again."
"Uh, sorry, I blurted it out. Go on, go on... wait a minute, Zhuqing, you wouldn't also..."
"No, sister, don't talk nonsense."
Do I look like an idiot to you?
"."
Time flew by, and Zhu Zhuqing spent the afternoon strolling through the bustling streets of Wuhun City with her older sister, Zhu Zhuyun.
The two sisters also opened up and chatted freely for an afternoon, and only parted reluctantly at night.
Zhu Zhuyun was finally able to exercise her rights as an older sister and personally escort Zhu Zhuqing back to the base of the Spirit Hall's Second Battle Team.
When it was time to part, there was something he wanted to say but hesitantly, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Fortunately, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to see through her conflicted feelings and suddenly spoke up:
"Sister, since Davis has abandoned you and run away, why are you in such a hurry to return to Xingluo Imperial City?"
"Why don't we stay in Wuhun City for now and make a decision after watching our match?"
"Anyway, the feud between us sisters has been settled, and there's no need for us to compete anymore. As long as I don't go back, the position of head of the Zhu family will definitely be yours."
Seeing Zhu Zhuyun's clearly stunned expression, Zhu Zhuqing smiled slightly on her cool face and continued:
"As for the competition between the Davis and Dai Mubai brothers, that's their royal Dai family's own business, what does it have to do with us?"
"Davis rushed back to the Star Luo Empire so hastily, perhaps because he was afraid that Dai Mubai would win the championship in the Elite Soul Master Competition and surpass him."
"Now that Dai Mubai has also been eliminated by us, the two brothers are back to the same starting line."
"However, I think it's best if you, sister, don't interfere anymore. Just relax and watch the show."
Zhu Zhuyun thought about it carefully and felt that Zhu Zhuqing's words made sense, and immediately smiled sweetly:
"That's right, there's absolutely no need for me to get involved anymore. What does it matter to me how those two brothers fight to the death?"
After speaking, she looked at Zhu Zhuqing with gentle eyes:
"But Zhuqing, do you really want me to stay?"
The look in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes softened as well:
"Of course, you're my older sister. We sisters have finally made up, so naturally I hope you can spend more time with me."
"Okay, I'll do as you say, I'll stay a few more days."
