Chapter 20: Choices Brought About by a Book
The next day! The sun was shining brightly and the weather was clear.
"Zhu Qing, put your hand on it." Zhu Dashuai, the head of the Zhu family, led Zhu Zhu Qing into the hall and said gently.
Zhu Zhuqing looked up at her father, then glanced at the Third Prince Dai Mubai not far away. A hint of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she still nodded obediently.
"Hmm..." Zhu Zhuqing reached out her small hand and gently touched the crystal ball.
Zhu Zhuyun, who was standing to the side, turned pale when she saw her younger sister awaken the Netherworld Cat. When the crystal ball showed that her innate soul power was at level eight, she became even more bloodless.
Her talent is exactly the same.
It's time to come.
Zhu Zhuyun felt a pang of pain in her heart. She had always thought of herself as the most talented person in the Zhu family, but she never expected that her younger sister would be so outstanding as well.
In contrast to Zhu Zhuyun's heartache, the Third Prince Dai Mubai was quite excited. The higher Zhu Zhuqing's talent, the greater his chance of winning the competition.
"Where do you want to go?" Outside the hall, the eldest prince, Davis, stood with his arms crossed, staring coldly at Zhu Zhuyun.
"Don't follow me," Zhu Zhuyun said coldly without turning her head.
"Alright, but I have to remind you, this is fate, there's no escaping it," Davis sighed, speaking helplessly.
As someone born into royalty, he was acutely aware of the cruelty and ruthlessness of the world.
In the struggle for the throne, kinship is often relegated to a secondary position. Even brothers can become victims in the power struggle. This cruel reality left him feeling powerless and sorrowful.
Meanwhile, in a secret garden, all was peaceful and serene. A stunningly beautiful noblewoman sat on the grass, holding a green-covered book, engrossed in its words.
This noblewoman was none other than Zhu Zhuqing's mother, Xu Yueyin. She came from the Xu family of the Star Luo Empire and possessed a noble status.
Today should have been an important day for Zhu Zhuqing to awaken her martial soul, but Xu Yueyin didn't seem to care.
She wore a long purple dress that perfectly showcased her stunning figure. In comparison, Zhu Zhuyun appeared rather lackluster.
Xu Yueyin seemed to be a perfect combination of angel and witch, with an elegant face and a captivating figure, exuding a unique charm. However, deep in her heart, she harbored a profound aversion to the family rules of the Zhu and Dai families.
This family employs a method of raising poisonous insects, allowing brothers and sisters to fight each other to determine the strongest.
Xu Yueyin found this cold-blooded competitive model unacceptable. Although she was dissatisfied with it, she was powerless to change the situation.
So she chose to hide in this secret garden, unwilling to face the conflicts of the outside world. Here, she could read her favorite books and enjoy a moment of peace and freedom.
After getting rid of Davis, Zhu Zhuyun found Xu Yueyin in the Secret Garden.
"Mother, Zhu Qing is the same as me, with innate soul power at level eight." Zhu Zhuyun stood expressionlessly behind her mother, her heart filled with contradictions and pain.
Yesterday they were inseparable sisters, but now they have become enemies, which is hard for her to accept.
"Oh, so, are we going to make a move on her?" Xu Yueyin didn't turn around. She tried her best to appear calm, but her slightly trembling body couldn't hide her inner unease and struggle.
Zhu Zhuyun's gaze fell on her toes; she truly didn't know how to face the situation before her. On one hand, her family's mission demanded that she eliminate Zhu Zhuqing; on the other hand, that was her own younger sister!
Xu Yueyin slowly turned around, her eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and determination: "Zhuyun, the children of the Zhu family have never had the right to choose."
Zhu Zhuyun lowered her head, tears welling in her eyes. She understood her mother's words and knew the responsibility she bore. But she just couldn't bring herself to hurt her younger sister.
Xu Yueyin gently stroked her daughter's hair, her voice slightly low: "Zhuyun, I know this is cruel to you. But you have to make a decision, otherwise the entire Zhu family will be in trouble."
Zhu Zhuyun raised her head, her eyes shining with determination: "Mother, I understand."
"You can leave now. I won't be going back to the Zhu family. Your affairs are none of my business," Xu Yueyin said, her voice regaining its coldness, tinged with a hint of determination and helplessness.
She knew she couldn't stop the infighting between the Zhu sisters, nor could she change the Zhu family's ridiculous rules and upbringing. Her experiences over the years had taught her that the Zhu family's future was fraught with uncertainty and crisis. And her younger sister in the palace probably shared the same thoughts.
Compared to the Spirit Hall, the Zhu family's methods of cultivation over the years were utterly insignificant. Faced with the Spirit Hall's coercion, the Star Luo Empire, like the Heaven Dou Empire, could only eke out a living. Xu Yueyin sighed inwardly; it was all a cruel twist of fate.
Just then, Zhu Zhuyun suddenly spoke up: "Mother, I want to go to the Heavenly Dou Empire."
These words surprised Xu Yueyin. She looked at her eldest daughter with a hint of doubt in her eyes.
Zhu Zhuyun is seven years older than Zhu Zhuqing.
Logically speaking, she should have enough strength and confidence to stay in the Star Luo Empire, so why would she want to go to the Heaven Dou Empire?
"You want to go to the Heavenly Dou Empire? Give me a reason." Xu Yueyin's voice carried a hint of confusion.
Zhu Zhuyun took a deep breath and pulled out a green book from her bosom.
Since transmigrating, Yu Tianming has been bored and started posting novels by some erotic moderators from the modern era on the Douluo Continent website under the pen name (Yu Aman).
"This...this...how dare you, Zhu Zhuyun! You actually dared to steal my things! Is this something you can just leave unattended?"
Upon hearing the Green Book, Xu Yueyin felt utterly ashamed, her face flushed red with anger, and her body began to tremble. She glared at Zhu Zhuyun with wide eyes, her face contorted with rage, as if she wanted to devour her whole.
Zhu Zhuyun looked at her innocently, seemingly unaware of what had happened.
Xu Yueyin immediately snatched the green book from her hand, clutching it tightly. Then, she pointed angrily at Zhu Zhuyun and shouted, "How dare you peek at my book! Do you even know what this book is? How dare you do this!"
"I want to go to Blue Tyrant Academy." Zhu Zhuyun was not intimidated by Xu Yueyin's anger; instead, she firmly stated her mind. Her eyes were fixed intently on Xu Yueyin, revealing a resolute attitude.
Yu Aman described Blue Tyrant Academy in detail in his book, which aroused Zhu Zhuyun's great interest in the place. Moreover, Zhu Zhuyun had reached the age suitable for entering an advanced soul master academy.
Last night, she stayed up all night, and after careful consideration, she made a decision. If Zhu Zhuqing awakened a useless martial soul, then she would marry Davis, become empress, and promise to take care of Zhu Zhuqing for the rest of her life; otherwise, she would choose to leave the Star Luo Empire.
After all, without her support, it wouldn't be easy for Davis to ascend to the position of Crown Prince. If Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai give it their all, their chances of winning will be much greater.
Upon hearing Zhu Zhuyun's words, Xu Yueyin fell silent. She didn't immediately answer Zhu Zhuyun's question, but she already knew the answer in her heart. She knew that Zhu Zhuyun had made up her mind and wouldn't easily change it.
Xu Yueyin sighed softly, then said gently, "You're about to break through level 30, right? Your mother will take you to the Star Dou Forest to find a suitable spirit ring."
However, Xu Yueyin neither explicitly agreed to Zhu Zhuyun going to Lanba Academy, nor did she directly refuse.
She silently led Zhu Zhuyun to the Star Dou Forest to search for a suitable spirit ring. Both mother and daughter were intelligent, and their tacit understanding needed no words; everything was understood without being spoken.
