I Don't Even Think Anything of Your Father

"Young Lady, there's someone at the door..."

Meng Li strode forward and briefly recounted the events at the entrance of the King's Mansion to Bai Wanwan.

"Dai Mubai?"

Bai Wanwan paused almost imperceptibly as she combed her hair.

"Go and see if he's still at the entrance of the King's Mansion. If he is, go and ask Zhu Zhuqing if she wants to see him."

"Let him in if he sees him, get out if he doesn't."

Bai Wanwan spoke, she strode towards the front hall.

"Understood."

Meng Li respectfully agreed and headed towards the gate.

Upon reaching the door, Meng Li opened it slightly, peeked out, looked around, and when he saw Dai Mubai standing on his left with his back against the wall, he quickly pulled his head back in, closed the door, and headed towards Zhu Zhuqing's room.

In the front hall, Bai Wanwan held a bowl of wontons and quietly savored them with a spoon.

Hearing the clattering footsteps coming from the doorway, Bai Wanwan looked up and glanced towards the entrance. After recognizing Zhu Zhuqing as the visitor, Bai Wanwan casually pointed to a seat, gesturing for her to sit down.

Do you want some?

"If you want to eat, I'll have the kitchen make you a bowl."

Bai Wanwan raised the wontons in her hand and asked softly.

As for Dai Mubai, she didn't ask, because Zhu Zhuqing's presence here already largely indicated that she wanted to see Dai Mubai.

"No need, I'm not hungry right now."

Zhu Zhuqing gave Bai Wanwan a smile, but quickly looked towards the door, her expression returning to its usual coldness.

She could guess why Dai Mubai had come to see her, and her decision to meet Dai Mubai wasn't because she still harbored any illusions about Dai Mubai; she simply wanted to resolve the matter.

From then on, the roads diverged, and everyone went their separate ways.

What Dai Mubai wants to do is none of her business. What she needs to do is cultivate diligently, become a valuable person, and break free from the iron-fisted rules of the Star Luo Imperial Family.

Bai Wanwan smiled, said nothing more, and ate her wontons while waiting.

Soon, footsteps could be heard again at the door.

Meng Li silently withdrew when he was led to the entrance of the front hall.

Dai Mubai did not immediately enter the front hall. Instead, he tidied his clothes slightly before stepping into the front hall.

Upon entering the front hall, Dai Mubai first looked at Bai Wanwan, who was sitting in the main seat. After all, this was the King's Mansion, which belonged to Bai Wanwan's territory. As a guest entering the King's Mansion, he should first greet Bai Wanwan.

But seeing that Bai Wanwan was just eating wontons with her head down and had no intention of paying attention to him, Dai Mubai didn't want to make a fool of himself. Instead, he turned his attention to Zhu Zhuqing.

"Zhuqing..."

Dai Mubai had just opened his mouth when Zhu Zhuqing interrupted him.

"If you're trying to talk about what happened at the Rose Hotel a few days ago, then there's no need for that."

"Do whatever you want, it's none of my business."

Zhu Zhuqing's tone was very calm, without any emotional fluctuation, and she looked at Dai Mubai as if he were a stranger.

Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai's expression stiffened slightly, as if he hadn't expected Zhu Zhuqing to react this way.

But Dai Mubai's expression quickly returned to normal.

"Zhuqing, I can explain that matter."

Dai Mubai looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a serious expression.

"No need."

"The facts are clear. I'm not blind, nor am I stupid, so you don't need to explain anymore."

"Dai Mubai, we both know the iron-fisted rules of the Star Luo Imperial Family. Whether you run away or accept your fate, it's none of my business. You can do whatever you want, I can't control you. But I don't want to accept the fate of the Star Luo Imperial Family. I just want to live."

From now on, we'll each go our own way, you take your broad road, and I'll cross my narrow bridge.

Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Dai Mubai, then got up from her seat and headed towards her room in the King's Mansion, intending to return and begin her meditation.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's actions, Dai Mubai's expression instantly turned ugly.

It's just the literal meaning.

Zhu Zhuqing replied calmly, without pausing in her steps.

"Zhu Zhuqing!"

Dai Mubai called out Zhu Zhuqing's name and prepared to follow in Zhu Zhuqing footsteps.

Seeing the scene before her, Bai Wanwan showed no intention of speaking and continued to eat her wontons quietly.

Is the King's Mansion safe?

Zhu Zhuqing stopped and turned to look in Bai Wanwan's direction.

"Nature."

"Within the territory of my King's Mansion, even dragons must coil up before me, and tigers must lie down before me."

Bai Wanwan slightly raised her eyes, her tone extremely calm.

Having received Bai Wanwan's reply, Zhu Zhuqing stepped out of the front hall and walked forward.

Dai Mubai, who was about to catch up with Zhu Zhuqing, stopped and stiffly turned to look at Bai Wanwan, his face so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water.

"This is an internal matter for the Star Luo Imperial Family. Do you want to interfere?"

Dai Mubai gritted his teeth, his tone tinged with hostility.

Bai Wanwan calmly put down the wontons in her hand, took out a handkerchief and wiped the corner of her mouth.

Are you trying to intimidate me by using the Star Luo Imperial Family?

Bai Wanwan put down the handkerchief, crossed her legs, and a sharp glint appeared in her azure eyes. "I don't even put your father, the Star Luo Emperor, in my eyes, let alone you Dai Mubai."

"You think you have the right to use the Star Luo Imperial Family to intimidate me?"

Dai Mubai clenched his fists silently, his eyes shifting uncertainly, but he ultimately remained silent.

"Lor Diarra, see them out!"

Bai Wanwan got up from her seat and walked towards the door.

"Yes, Young Lady."

A deep, cold voice, with a slightly hoarse quality, came from the doorway.

A man dressed in black, wearing a black mask that revealed only his sharp eyes, appeared at the door.

Lor Diarra, an 84-level agility-attack type Soul Douluo, was originally a subordinate in the Papal Hall. A year ago, he was sent to Suotuo City to oversee the Suotuo City King's Mansion.

Within the King's Mansion, they are among the second tier of power.

He usually stays deep within the King's Mansion and rarely King's Mansion.

"Please!"

Lor Diarra coldly uttered a single word.

And they were prepared to throw Dai Mubai away if he didn't move.

Dai Mubai glanced at Bai Wanwan's retreating figure, then at the direction Zhu Zhuqing had left in, and finally at Lor Diarra standing at the door. His fists were clenched tightly, but he didn't say anything, nor did he intend to utter a harsh word. Instead, he stepped out of the front hall and walked towards the door.

"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you."

Lor Diarra watched Dai Mubai walk out of the King's Mansion, snorted coldly, and then headed deeper into the King's Mansion.
