When Jiang Wanyu and Zhu Zhuqing returned to the hotel, it was already late at night and neither of them wanted to sleep.
Jiang Wanyu suggested going to watch the sunrise, and Zhu Zhuqing did not object.
Jiang Wanyu simply took a pot of tea and took Zhu Zhuqing to the roof of the hotel. They drank tea while watching the dawn gradually break.
"Jiang Wanyu, thank you."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the rising sun and felt that her life had ushered in a new life, a new life that belonged to her!
"Why are you saying this suddenly?"
"Listen to me first. You know I'm the second daughter of the Zhu family. I'm not yet able to break away from the royal engagement."
"The royal family and the Zhu family will not let me go. If that day really comes and there is no escape, you must leave immediately."
"I don't want my unfortunate fate to affect you."
Zhu Zhuqing spoke a long paragraph in one breath, and then looked at Jiang Wanyu in silence.
She was already prepared for Jiang Wanyu to leave her directly, but it was also better this way, because Jiang Wanyu shouldn't have to bear this pressure in the first place.
Jiang Wanyu stood up, stood opposite Zhu Zhuqing, looked straight into her eyes, and then smiled.
"Zhu Zhuqing, do you still remember what you promised me?"
"Since you choose to go with me, then we are companions."
"Isn't it just the Xingluo Royal Family? Don't be so pessimistic. When the enemy comes, we will fight with our soldiers; when the water comes, we will block it with earth."
"I, Jiang Wanyu, have never been inferior to others in my life!"
At this time, the morning sun had risen completely, and the morning light appeared, giving Jiang Wanyu a layer of golden edge all over his body, as if Jiang Wanyu was glowing!
It seems like, in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, Jiang Wanyu is a shining existence!
"I see."
Zhu Zhuqing's response became brief again, but a sincere smile appeared on her frosty face!
Yes, if Zhu Zhuqing had not been born into the royal family, she would only be an eleven-year-old girl now. She has been under too much pressure since she was a child.
The smile will gradually fade away, turning from coldness into one's own protective color.
"Okay, why are you so serious? I'm not used to that kind of atmosphere. Let's pack up and go!"
"good."
Only after Zhu Zhuqing went back to clean up did Jiang Wanyu's expression turn cold.
"Li family..."
The cause and effect of hatred already exists, so one party will always bear the final consequences.
Jiang Wanyu had already inquired about it. The Li family had a level 77 Battle Soul Saint and several Soul Emperors, and their power was considered top-tier in Kono City.
Jiang Wanyu asked himself, it was still too difficult to deal with the Soul Saint, but Jiang Wanyu wanted to leave, and apart from those gods, it would not be a problem for him to protect himself.
"Just wait, I'll come and settle this account with you soon!"
Jiang Wanyu's dark purple eyes revealed a hint of coldness.
Just at this time, Zhu Zhuqing had also packed up her things, so the two of them hired a carriage and set off early.
Next stop, Auburn!
Shortly after Jiang Wanyu and his friends left, several uninvited guests came to the hotel where they were staying.
The leader had dark green hair and wore a black suit. He looked intimidating without even being angry. Others recognized him at a glance as the famous Li Dufeng from Kono City!
Li Dufeng came here with two Soul Emperors from his family. He is also Li Feng's grandfather.
Li Feng was also in the group that was rushing over. They ran directly to the room where Jiang Wanyu and the others had lived, only to find that the two had already left.
Li Dufeng turned around and slapped Li Feng hard in the face.
"You bastard! Do you even know what you've done?"
Li Dufeng's tone was filled with unconcealable anger!
"Grandpa...Grandpa, I..."
Li Feng no longer had the high-spirited spirit he had on the fighting stage, simply because the one beating him was the pillar of the Li family, a level 77 combat soul master, whose martial soul was a variant of the ghost vine, a highly poisonous ghost vine!
"Shut up!"
"It's fine if he's arrogant and domineering at ordinary times, but he doesn't dare admit his defeat and even dares to hire someone to assassinate the opponent?"
"The most important thing is that the assassination attempt failed?"
"Do you know what it means for a Soul Lord to kill a Soul King? You bastard!"
"Do you want to push our entire Li family into the abyss?"
"I don't have a grandson as stupid as you!"
Li Dufeng was really regretting his decision. This morning he heard that a guest official in the family had died a violent death. So after asking about it, he found out what Li Feng had done!
Not only did he not have a good relationship with this genius, but he also offended the other party. He didn't even need the support of the other party to take action. Jiang Wanyu alone might be able to destroy the Li family in a few years!
But it was all too late. Jiang Wanyu and the others had already left. There was no chance to kill him or make amends.
Li Dufeng never expected that the family he had worked so hard to establish would be doomed to failure in just one day. He regretted it so much!
"Forget it, let's go."
Li Dufeng seemed to have aged several decades in an instant. He had to think carefully about how to preserve the Li family's fire and be ready to deal with the coming disaster at any time.
The foundation that the Li family has built over the years cannot be abandoned at will. It is better to leave a spark of fire. If the other party destroys the Li family, they will have a better chance of getting rid of it.
Li Feng followed behind silently, unable to vent his resentment, and thus his resentment towards Jiang Wanyu grew stronger!
However, Jiang Wanyu was not aware of all this.
Half a day later, Jiang Wanyu was about to arrive in Auburn City.
As the carriage entered the city gate, Jiang Wanyu finally arrived at the last city before entering the Star Dou Great Forest.
After getting off the bus, Jiang Wanyu did not look for a hotel to stay in temporarily, but first found a secluded courtyard in the south of the city and rented it.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the yard in front of her and asked curiously, "Are you planning to live here for a while?"
Jiang Wanyu shook his head: "Since we have decided to join forces with you, we should improve our strength."
Jiang Wanyu took out the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone. Without saying too much, this was indeed the one that was most suitable for Zhu Zhuqing among the magical herbs Jiang Wanyu knew about.
As for the Acacia Heartbroken Red, Jiang Wanyu has not yet believed it to that extent. He and Zhu Zhuqing are now people who can trust each other.
Jiang Wanyu did so because he understood Zhu Zhuqing's character, while Zhu Zhuqing did so because of her experiences with Jiang Wanyu.
So after considering all factors, Jiang Wanyu took out this Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone.
"What's this?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the white and crystal flowers and plants in front of her. They were as pure as green lotus and it was obvious that they were not simple things.
"This is the magical herb called 'Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone'. It has the effect of moistening the tendons and bones, and invigorating the eight extraordinary meridians. It can greatly increase your aptitude!"
Jiang Wanyu briefly introduced the effects of the magical herb and of using it according to the original novel and then handed it to Zhu Zhuqing.
"This... I can't accept it! It's so precious, keep it for yourself!"
Zhu Zhuqing was shocked by the effect described by Jiang Wanyu, but when she saw Jiang Wanyu was about to give it to her, she firmly rejected this intention.
Jiang Wanyu couldn't help but admire Zhu Zhuqing for being worthy of her reputation. If it were someone else, they would have probably been unable to contain themselves and absorbed it.
"Take it. Consider it for our future. When you eat it, eat the petals first and then suck the pistil. Then, calm down and absorb the essence."
Jiang Wanyu handed it directly to Zhu Zhuqing and returned to the room.
"Our...future?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the gorgeous flowers in her hand, feeling a warm current flowing through her heart, and the image of Jiang Wanyu in her mind became clearer and clearer...
