Seven days later.
Zhu Zhuqing requested an extended leave from the academy and, together with Xiao Wu, went to the Xingluo Empire, to the Zhu Family, to resolve the final issues of her identity.
The Family Head and elders of the Zhu Family agreed, after all, Zhu Zhuqing's future was limitless, and given her childhood experiences...cutting ties was the more suitable outcome.
"Zhuqing, please remember, the Zhu Family is ultimately your birthplace." The Family Head of the Zhu Family harbored a trace of hope, "In the future, if the Zhu family's descendants face trouble, I hope you can lend a hand."
"If the fault isn't with the family, and if I'm free, I'll help as I see fit." Zhu Zhuqing's voice was quiet yet firm, "If the fault lies with the family, I won't hold any sentiment."
Such harsh words made some of the Zhu family's descendants uneasy.
"We're all surname Zhu, and yet so heartless!"
"Not considering the family at all!"
"Ungrateful!"
