Deeds Exposed

Most importantly, the way this man looked at her held no trace of greed or malice, which earned him a higher regard from the young girl.

"Patriarch of the Zhu family, Zhu Youzhi."

Zhu Zhuqing's cool gaze swept over the man before her, speaking the code phrase.

Jin Lingfeng, as any man would, couldn't help but glance at the young girl a few times with surprise.

He then looked into her eyes, smiled slightly, and said:

"Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong."

Immediately, a hint of joy appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, though her expression remained cool.

She bowed deeply to the man before her and said in a cold voice:

"Greetings, Holy Son!"

"I am Zhu Zhuqing, the second young lady of the Zhu family."

"By my father's command, I am here to escort the Holy Son into Star Luo City secretly."

Her voice was clear and cold. While it held no hostility, it gave off an aura of unapproachability.

Jin Lingfeng nodded with a smile and said in a deep voice:

"Then I'll trouble the second young lady to lead the way. We should enter Star Luo City as soon as possible."

"So that I may discuss cooperation matters with your father."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the man before her, nodded slightly, and said coldly, "Very well, Holy Son, please follow me."

She then took the lead out of the pavilion, heading towards a hidden forest to the east.

Jin Lingfeng quickly followed, maintaining a distance of one to two meters from Zhu Zhuqing.

Zhu Zhuqing kept an eye on the man behind her, a subconscious act of caution and self-protection.

Although she was only eight years old, as a daughter of the Zhu family, she possessed a naturally proud figure that even some adult women couldn't match.

For women, beauty meant glory, but it also came with danger.

However, when she noticed that the man behind her maintained a safe distance of one to two meters, the frown on her brow gradually relaxed.

After a while, the two boarded a carriage and headed towards Star Luo City. Inside the carriage, the temperature seemed to drop significantly, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

The man sat on the left, and the young girl occupied the right corner.

Jin Lingfeng glanced at her, then closed his eyes to cultivate. Only then did he feel the two cold gazes that had been secretly fixed on him disappear.

As a transmigrator, Jin Lingfeng knew that Zhu Zhuqing was kind-hearted. Her cold and aloof personality was entirely a product of her upbringing.

This little girl was indeed a daughter of the Zhu family. Her figure was so proud, and she was a natural beauty. In a few more years, she would possess the beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall, and moon hide and flowers blush.

But Jin Lingfeng was unmoved. The girl he liked was Qian Renxue!

Next year was the date they had agreed to marry. Why would he harbor any intentions toward Zhu Zhuqing?

Seeing the man's reaction, Zhu Zhuqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but her vigilance did not completely disappear. After all, one could never be too careful, and she preferred to be cautious than to be in danger...

Suddenly, a Soul Elder-level Soul Power aura appeared, instantly causing the young girl's eyes to contract, and she was inwardly shocked.

This man before her looked only about fifteen or sixteen years old, yet his Soul Power had already reached the Soul Elder level!

Zhu Zhuyun, as the top genius of the Zhu family, was only level 33 Soul Elder at fifteen. The Martial Soul Hall's Holy Son was terrifyingly powerful!

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze towards the man, though still cold, now held a hint of respect...

Next, the carriage smoothly entered Star Luo City.

They arrived at a Zhu family property, the Flying Cloud Tower.

It was one of the largest and most renowned restaurants in all of Star Luo City, famous both domestically and abroad.

Under Zhu Zhuqing's arrangement, Jin Lingfeng was led to a luxurious private room. The decor was extremely lavish yet retained an elegant feel.

"Please wait here, Holy Son."

"I will personally return to the Zhu family to have my father come and meet the Holy Son!"

Zhu Zhuqing bowed to Jin Lingfeng and prepared to leave the room.

But the moment she turned, her keen senses detected two gazes falling upon her from behind. Fortunately, they were not invasive, and she then closed the door and left...

Listening to the sound of footsteps fading away, Jin Lingfeng sat down and gave a bitter smile, muttering to himself:

"The little wildcat's personality is indeed cold and aloof."

"It's hard to imagine what kind of environment she grew up in."

"Dai Mubai is a notorious womanizer, a complete playboy. He's not worthy of the little wildcat. I need to find a way to break off their engagement..."

Jin Lingfeng was talking to himself in the room.

He had no idea, nor did he pay attention to the fact.

Because outside the private room, a tall and slender young girl was eavesdropping, her dark eyes flashing with coldness and a hint of confusion...

Suddenly, there was a knock on the private room door.

A respectful male voice came from outside:

"Your Highness the Holy Son, Patriarch Zhu Youzhi of the Zhu family is here to visit."

Jin Lingfeng's sword-like eyebrows twitched. He said in a deep voice from the sofa:

"Please come in."

Immediately after, the private room door was opened.

Leading the way was a bald, middle-aged man wearing a blue ornate robe.

When he saw the young man sitting upright on the sofa, his eyes lit up with excitement.

Behind him followed a young girl dressed in a black tight-fitting outfit.

Her skin was like congealed fat, delicate and beautiful, and she was tall.

Those dark, black eyes were clear, cold, and vigilant, exuding a goddess-like icy aura.

The most eye-catching feature of the girl was her shapely, alluring bust.

She wasn't old, but she possessed a size that even adult women would marvel at, perfectly round.

Further down were a pair of slender, fair legs.

Wrapped in black lace-trimmed stockings, her small feet stepped into a pair of high heels, giving the girl a touch of mature charm.

"Your Highness the Holy Son, I am Zhu Youzhi, Patriarch of the Zhu family."

"I beg your forgiveness for not being able to personally welcome Your Highness the Holy Son."

The three of them sat on the sofa, Zhu Youzhi said apologetically.

As someone with experience, he kept his gaze steady, his eyes moving between his younger daughter and Jin Lingfeng.

Jin Lingfeng waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Patriarch Zhu, there's no need to be so polite."

"Your position in the Star Luo Empire is rather special, and I can understand."

Zhu Youzhi nodded, his expression turning serious as he asked:

"Your Highness the Holy Son, I, Zhu, do not like to beat around the bush."

"I only want to know, if my Zhu family reaches an agreement with the Martial Soul Hall."

"What benefits can the Zhu family gain?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the entire private room instantly became tense.

Beside them, Zhu Zhuqing, who had been sitting quietly, gently stroked her long hair, her eyes filled with a hint of excitement as she looked at the man in white.

Jin Lingfeng's gaze narrowed slightly. He said with a smile in a deep voice:

"Patriarch Zhu, before I departed, the Pope had already given instructions."

"As long as the Zhu family reaches an agreement with the Martial Soul Hall, when the Star Luo Empire is eventually destroyed, the Zhu family will be a great contributor."

"Patriarch Zhu can be an exception and become an elder of the Martial Soul Hall, the Zhu family will be protected by Titled Douluo experts, and their original fiefdom in the Star Luo Empire will be doubled."

"What do you think of these terms, Patriarch Zhu?"

At once, Zhu Youzhi's brows furrowed tightly, a coldness flowing in his eyes, clearly dissatisfied with these terms.

Zhu Zhuqing was extremely anxious. She didn't care about the conditions offered by the Martial Soul Hall; she only hoped that the Star Luo Empire would be destroyed so she could break off her engagement with Dai Mubai...

However, at this moment.
