"Hehehe, simple. If it's just you, it's as light as a feather, but you also need to include your fiancé, Dai Mubai."
"If Dai Mubai can make the same oath as you, swear the same vow, then I'll believe your words."
"This…" Zhu Zhuqing hesitated, unsure how to respond.
She knew Dai Mubai's temperament too well—he would absolutely never give up his qualification to fight for the throne.
She herself might let it go, but Dai Mubai would never do so—even in death, his ambition was limitless.
With the chance for royal power in front of him, how could he ever give it up?
"What's wrong? Is it so hard for you? Giving up the fight for the throne is a huge joke."
"My foolish little sister, you can speak recklessly inside the palace, but don't speak nonsense outside, or you'll disgrace our royal family."
As he spoke, Zhu Zhuyun signaled with her eyes, and a group of guards immediately withdrew, leaving them some private space for conversation.
Before leaving, the guards didn't forget to leave a harsh warning: "If what was just said gets out, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"This…"
"Don't forget, see me as you would Davis—or have you already had ill intentions and don't want to listen to the words of the eldest prince?"
What a heavy accusation to bear!
The guards felt as if they were being threatened with a warning akin to having their entire clans eradicated. They quickly shook their heads: "Understood!"
"Ah, why are we here? What just happened?"
"Go, go, go, back to guard the entrances of the Xingluo Imperial Palace."
"Yes, yes, yes."
The guards, pretending not to understand fully, left the scene.
Only Chen Qingling and the two Zhu sisters remained.
With no outsiders present, Zhu Zhuqing's expression grew agitated: "Why, sister, won't you believe me? I am your sister!"
"We're sisters—don't we even have the most basic trust?"
Zhu Zhuqing knew it would be like this, but she still couldn't accept it.
The pain of being born into the royal family was laid bare at this moment.
Born sisters, yet suspecting each other, with no genuine affection.
Of course, this referred to Zhu Zhuyun.
"Hehe, trust is relative—it's simply impossible for you."
Seeing no progress at all, Chen Qingling grew anxious.
"You are Zhuqing's sister!"
"Why don't you even believe your younger sister? Is it because you're royal that you have no familial affection? Can your perspective not be so narrow, that you must fight to the death over a throne?"
"No matter what, you are family! You are sisters!"
Hearing Chen Qingling's words, Zhu Zhuyun immediately understood.
No wonder her sister said such things—it was because of Chen Qingling!She never expected her sister would change so drastically because of Chen Qingling. What kind of charm must she have to cause such a transformation?
Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but look at Chen Qingling in a new light, curious what kind of person she was.
Young in age, yet formidable in skill.
"Sister…" Zhu Zhuqing bit her red lips, "I'll give you a saying: We were born of the same root, why harm each other so urgently?"
This saying was given to her by Chen Qingling, and now she passed it to her sister Zhu Zhuyun unchanged.
Since befriending Chen Qingling, Zhu Zhuqing valued emotions greatly. How she longed… longed to get along with Zhu Zhuyun through sisterly affection.
Upon hearing her sister's profound words, Zhu Zhuyun's pupils constricted slightly.
"We were born of the same root, why harm each other so urgently."
Zhu Zhuyun sneered lightly, suppressing tears from falling, determined to maintain the image she had built over the years.
All to protect her foolish little sister as much as possible.
She really was foolish.
She had schemed against Zhu Zhuqing, yet it was all for the royal family to see, to show that the struggle for the throne in this generation continued.
It could dispel doubts within the royal family, and prevent others from scheming against her sister.
"My foolish little sister, you're still playing the emotional card? That has no effect on someone as cold and heartless as me."
Those words completely broke Zhu Zhuqing's heart, and tears fell uncontrollably.
"Qingling… I… can't persuade my sister… I…"
Seeing her friend Zhuqing wiping away her tears, Chen Qingling felt heartbroken and wanted to defend her.
But facing Zhuqing's sister, she was powerless.
Apply pressure?Teach Zhu Zhuyun a lesson?It would probably leave no room for compromise and only bring trouble to Zhuqing.
This was something Qingling could not bear to see.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became—the more she couldn't endure. No more patience!
"Zhu Zhuyun, you cold and heartless woman! All you do is break your sister's heart. Are you satisfied?"
"Do you even know why Zhuqing forgave you? It was because of me! In your eyes, is familial affection really less important than royal power?"
"You really disgust me. You would abandon everything for the throne!"
"Qingling… stop talking… let's go…" Zhu Zhuqing muttered softly. After this, she had no heart left to stay.
"No, coming to Xingluo Imperial Palace is rare—I won't leave just like this!"
Zhu Zhuyun's heart surged. Indeed, it was because of Chen Qingling that her sister had forgiven her.
"Won't leave just like this? What? You still want to cause a scene in Xingluo Imperial Palace?"
"Chen Qingling! I know you're extraordinary, but don't think no one in the Xingluo Empire can stand up to you!"
"If it comes to a fight, the entire nation's power won't fear you!"
At this moment, Chen Qingling could no longer hold back and immediately activated her Martial Soul.
"I'm not the type to use force first, but since you won't listen to reason, then we'll resolve this with power."
"I also thank you for teaching me a lesson."
"Royal family members, truly royal family members. Except for Zhuqing, none of you deserve reason. None of you are worthy to listen. You are unworthy."
"Today, I will stir up chaos and get Zhuqing a proper resolution!"
"Stir up chaos? What resolution do you want?"
A heavy voice sounded—none other than the ruler of the Xingluo Empire, the Xingluo Emperor, accompanied by Davis.
"The resolution I want: I will remove the shackles on Zhuqing, cancel her arranged marriage!"
At these words, the Xingluo Emperor exploded with rage. "How dare you!"
"This is a marriage between the Dai and Zhu families for generations! How can a junior like you annul it at will?"
"Zhuqing, is this your intention? Or Chen Qingling's?"
At this point, Zhu Zhuqing was numb, feeling neither joy nor sorrow: "Qingling's intention is my intention."
"I apologize to my family, but I truly wish to end this marriage."
"Good! Good! Good!"
The Xingluo Emperor exclaimed three times, his anger evident.
"Seize them!"
As his words fell, all the hidden Soul Hunters within the Xingluo Imperial Palace flew out, surrounding Chen Qingling and Zhu Zhuqing.
