Dai Zhu Had Never Had an Engagement

Xu Mingjie was meditating on his bed in the dormitory when he suddenly heard a noise outside. He broke out of his meditation and sighed.

He knew it was most likely the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire who had come. One was the captain of the regular team, and the other was the captain of the reserve team. They saw each other all the time.

Moreover, the other party's identity was too special, and he really couldn't refuse. The strength of the Star Crown Sect could not be exposed yet, otherwise it would definitely be targeted by the Spirit Hall, and Qian Daoliu would no longer be able to watch the Star Crown Sect remain isolated in a corner.

Xu Mingjie tidied his expression in front of the mirror, opened the door and went out to greet Dai Weisi with a gentle smile.

Standing beside Dai Weisi were his fiancée Zhu Zhuyun, as well as the sons of some noble families from the Star Luo City Empire. The group walked together toward the bustling part of Star Luo City, joking and playing around, and seemed to get along very harmoniously.

"Brother Mingjie, does your Star Crown Sect have a commercial street like Star Luo City?"

"No, that's not the case. Our village is a remote little mountain, and the people don't usually have much contact with the outside world. They are basically self-sufficient."

"Really? That sounds good, Brother Mingjie. The one who found the great treasure at sea that's all the rage in Star Luo City right now seems to be someone from your Star Crown Sect. Have you heard of him?"

"I've heard this rumor too, but I haven't been back to the sect for a long time, so I don't know the specifics."

"Really? Brother Mingjie, let me take you to see the biggest den of iniquity in Star Luo City. It's so much fun there."

"Okay, let's go."

Xu Mingjie dealt with Dai Weisi. Of course, he knew the specifics. Those were his grandfather and his own brother. However, it was best to keep these things to himself. If he revealed them for the sake of showing off and it affected the sect's plans, then he would truly be a sinner of the Star Crown Sect.

Dai Weisi and the noble scions around him would occasionally mention the Star Crown Sect, seemingly expressing their admiration, but who knows what they were really thinking behind the scenes?

After they left, a genius boy who had awakened his Martial Soul a little over a year ago suddenly emerged from the shadows of a street behind them. He looked at their backs and clenched his fists.

"Dai Weisi is six years older than me, and now he has even won over the largest sect in the Star Luo Empire. Do I still have a chance here?"

After hesitating for a moment, he turned his gaze to the north of the Star Luo Empire, which was in the direction of the Heaven Dou Empire. Going there would make things much easier, whether it was to win over external forces or to evade pursuit.

At this moment, in the Zhu Manor, a young girl whose Martial Soul had not yet awakened was fantasizing in the garden about her future husband, what a towering and upright man he would be.

If the children of the White Tiger Dai Family and the Netherworld Cat Zhu Family both awaken their family's Martial Soul and possess Martial Soul Fusion Skill, then they are a match made in heaven.

However, before their Martial Soul awaken and their Innate Soul Power is determined, in order to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, the two parties will not have a marriage agreement or meet.

A few days later, news spread throughout the palace that the Third Prince Dai Mubai, had fled to Heaven Dou. The Zhu Family Head immediately went to visit Empress Star Luo Empire and received a reply.

Dai Mubai will not get engaged to anyone from the Zhu Family, nor will he allow anyone to interfere with his future. Although the Zhu Family Head is very dissatisfied with this, there is nothing he can do about it.

He told Zhu Zhuqing, who was about to undergo her Martial Soul Awakening, the news. Seeing her distraught state, he turned and left, leaving her alone in the room crying.

Before long, the crying in the room stopped. Young Zhu Zhuqing wiped away her tears, cheered herself up, and began to exercise.

After the Third Prince Dai Mubai, the Star Luo Emperor and Empress had no more children. Since her husband was unreliable, she could only rely on herself.

After leaving the room, the Zhu Family Head sat in the hall, pondering. The Zhu Family had risen to prominence through marriage alliances. Since they could no longer form a marriage alliance with the royal family, could they perhaps choose a powerful husband's family for Zhu Zhuqing?

He reviewed the Zhu Family's intelligence on all the major powers within the Star Luo Empire. Due to his position, he first ruled out all the sects and families that had sided with the Spirit Hall.

Secondly, to avoid the emperor's suspicion, he could not choose this option. In this way, the number of forces that could be chosen that met his and the Zhu Family's demands was greatly reduced, and the most obvious one was only one.

"Someone come here."

"Master, what are your orders?"

"Go to the Star Luo Royal Academy for me and invite the team captain, Xu Mingjie, to my Zhu Manor for a chat. Remember, your attitude must be sincere."

"Yes, I will take care of it right away."

After arranging things properly, the Zhu Family Head began discussing with his advisors how to ensure Dai Weisi's more secure position as the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire, which was their top priority at the moment.

At this time, Xu Mingxi, far away in Sunset Forest, was unaware that although his younger brother would inevitably come into contact with various forces after joining Star Luo Royal Academy, just as he had imagined, the result was completely different from what he had expected, as he was caught in a vortex of conflict.

He's currently busy hiding behind the trees, spying on the Soul Beast as they eat.

He noted down the location of the 100,000-year-old Roaring Tiger that was devouring the carcass of the Giant Strength Buffalo in front of him.

Xu Mingxi searched for several days in the Sunset Forest, but found nothing except some rare herbs. It wasn't until today that he heard a deafening roar.

Overjoyed, he rushed over to check, only to be greatly disappointed. The Soul Beast was Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but it was not what he needed. He could only register it and keep it for Xu Mingguang and the others to use as their Ninth Soul Ring.

"Forget it, this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast should be the only one left in this Sunset Forest. I guess Dugu Bo should have taken care of things by now."

Muttering to himself, Xu Mingxi returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where Dugu Bo had already gathered all the herbs and was waiting with Dugu Yan.

He handed over the Blue Silver King's Soul Bone to Dugu Bo, instructing him to take it and the medicinal herbs back to the Star Crown Sect and give them all to the Sect Master.

Xu Mingxi wasn't worried at all that Dugu Bo would run away. His son and daughter-in-law were still in the Star Crown Sect, and having learned about the strength of the Star Crown Sect, would he dare to run away?

After bidding farewell to Dugu Bo, Xu Mingxi didn't linger and left Sunset Forest immediately. There was nothing of value to be found there for the time being, and he had other more important things to do.

After leaving Sunset Forest, Xu Mingxi looked at the map in her hand and headed south towards the Heaven Dou Empire.

In just three days, Xu Mingxi, weary from his journey, looked up at the plaque hanging above the city gate. The three large characters "Suotuo City" on it told him that he had arrived at his destination.
