Dai Mubai: Father Emperor! You Must Seek Justice for Your Son!

"Alright, I'll go first." Smiling, Dugu Yan was the first to introduce herself. "I am Dugu Yan, granddaughter of Dugu Bo, the Poison Douluo and newly appointed elder of Spirit Hall."

"She's actually the granddaughter of Poison Douluo, a Titled Douluo elder of Spirit Hall!" Zhu Zhuqing's eyes widened as she stared in astonishment at the green-haired, green-eyed girl. "She really is no ordinary person!"

Lin Yu then said, "I am Lin Yu, young clan leader of the Angel Clan and direct disciple of Qian Daoliu, Great Worship Elder of Spirit Hall."

"W-What?!"

"A direct disciple of Spirit Hall's Great Worship Elder!"

"His background is actually this formidable? No wonder he wasn't afraid of a Star Luo prince at all!" Zhu Zhuqing was stunned.

Qian Renxue spoke last. "I am Qian Renxue, Young Master of Spirit Hall and a member of the Six-Winged Angel Clan."

"Gasp—! S-Spirit Hall's Young Master! Heavens!"

Zhu Zhuqing drew a sharp breath, covering her little mouth in shock. Qian Renxue's identity had deeply shaken her.

She had thought Lin Yu's background was surely the strongest among the three, yet Qian Renxue's was even more terrifying!

She had known that Lin Yu and the others had powerful backgrounds, but she had never imagined they would be this terrifying!

They were unbelievably impressive!

With identities and backgrounds like these, why would they fear a mere Star Luo prince like Dai Mubai?

"This is incredible. I, Zhu Zhuqing, actually had the fortune of meeting people like them. With them backing me, even if the Star Luo Emperor stepped in, he probably still wouldn't be able to take me back."

Zhu Zhuqing was overjoyed and finally felt at ease.

She knew that as long as Lin Yu and the others were willing to protect her, once she followed them to Spirit City, the Star Luo Empire would be powerless against her.

"My name is Zhu Zhuqing. I still haven't properly thanked you all. Thank you." Zhu Zhuqing spoke with heartfelt gratitude.

"Alright, let's enter the Spirit Hall Holy Temple and rest for the night. We'll leave Star Luo City tomorrow."

"Mhm~"

The group of four quickly headed toward the holy temple.

After entering the Spirit Hall Holy Temple, Lin Yu had someone arrange a room for Zhu Zhuqing.

He then gained a basic understanding of Zhu Zhuqing's situation.

Lin Yu learned that Zhu Zhuqing was currently eight years old, about four months younger than him, with Soul Power at rank 14.

This rate of cultivation was already quite impressive.

Her talent also qualified her as a genius, but not one at the very top, because Zhu Zhuqing's Innate Soul Power was less than rank 8.

Such talent was not uncommon among Spirit Hall's Core Disciples. In fact, quite a few disciples possessed greater talent than Zhu Zhuqing.

Without the support of Immortal Herb resources, Zhu Zhuqing's future potential would not be especially high. At most, she could become a Spirit Douluo; reaching the realm of Titled Douluo would likely be impossible.

However, Zhu Zhuqing was also the hardworking type. If Lin Yu nurtured her properly, she would certainly become a powerful Titled Douluo in the future.

Thus, Lin Yu's group of four stayed the night at the Spirit Hall Holy Temple.

That night was far more peaceful than expected.

Nothing happened.

That was because Dai Mubai remained unconscious for the entire night. By the time he woke up, it was already nine in the morning the next day.

After waking, Dai Mubai was seething with resentment. Crying and shouting, he came before the Star Luo Emperor. "Father Emperor! Last night, I was beaten in the streets by someone! This was not merely an insult to your son—it was a vicious humiliation of our Star Luo Empire's dignity!"

"Father Emperor, you must seek justice for your son!"

"Heh, my foolish little brother." Dai Weisi shook his head at Dai Mubai with a mocking expression.

However, this matter concerned the Star Luo Empire's dignity. It had even dealt a harsh slap to the empire's face.

As the eldest prince, Dai Weisi was naturally furious as well. He said, "Still, Father Emperor, these madmen were indeed far too lawless and arrogant. They absolutely must not be let off lightly."

Yet by now, the Star Luo Emperor already knew the full story.

He also knew exactly who Lin Yu, the person who had beaten Dai Mubai in the street, was.

The Star Luo Emperor's expression was extremely ugly. Looking as though he hated iron for not becoming steel, he angrily rebuked Dai Mubai, "You disgraceful wretch!"

"Not even ten years old, yet already a three-ring Soul Elder, with an outrageous soul ring configuration of two purple and one black—do you know who the person that beat you is?!"

"That child is the direct disciple of Qian Daoliu, Great Worship Elder of Spirit Hall!"

"Spirit Hall's foremost genius of this generation!!"

"W-What... the direct disciple of Spirit Hall's Great Worship Elder..." Dai Mubai froze.

"For such an unparalleled monstrous genius, Spirit Hall will surely protect him in every possible way. There may even be Titled Douluo experts secretly guarding him. What can our Star Luo Empire possibly do to him?"

The Star Luo Empire could only let this matter end here. If the Star Luo Emperor pursued responsibility, Spirit Hall would fiercely protect its own, and the Star Luo Empire's reputation would only suffer even greater humiliation.

Therefore, both the Star Luo Empire and Dai Mubai could only swallow this silent loss. If he had been beaten, then so be it. Though it was stiflingly humiliating, there was truly nothing they could do.

He was the direct disciple of Spirit Hall's Great Worship Elder!

Thus, the Star Luo Emperor had no intention of escalating the matter any further.

"Damn it!" Dai Mubai clenched his fists tightly. He was deeply unwilling and upset, but he could only accept this humiliating outcome.

It was also at this moment.

The Zhu Family of the Hell Spirit Cat arrived, bringing news that Zhu Zhuqing had not returned all night.

Only then did they learn that Lin Yu had not only beaten Dai Mubai, but had also taken Zhu Zhuqing away.

If Lin Yu had merely beaten Dai Mubai, the Star Luo Emperor could grit his teeth and let it go. But taking Zhu Zhuqing away was something he absolutely could not overlook so easily.

Dai Mubai was thoroughly panicked. Without Zhu Zhuqing, he was truly finished. He would never be able to compete with his elder brother, Dai Weisi, again. If he failed the competition, he would either be killed or imprisoned for the rest of his life.

"Father, you absolutely cannot let them take my fiancée, Zhu Zhuqing!" Dai Mubai cried and pleaded.

"Send men immediately to the Spirit Hall Holy Temple and demand her back!" the Star Luo Emperor ordered.

"Yes!!"

By the time a large force from the Star Luo Empire arrived at the Spirit Hall Holy Temple, Lin Yu, Qian Renxue, Dugu Yan, and Zhu Zhuqing had long since left the city.

At this moment, before the Spirit Hall Holy Temple.

The Star Luo Royal Knights had aggressively surrounded the entrance to the holy temple, shouting outside and demanding that Zhu Zhuqing be handed over.

A moment later.

The holy temple's doors opened.

The Hall Master, the Platinum Bishop, slowly walked out with his hands behind his back. Faced with such a scene, he remained exceptionally calm, clearly handling it with ease. He said coolly, "The person you seek has already left the city. She is not in our Spirit Hall Holy Temple!"

"That girl also left willingly to join our Spirit Hall, and she has now become a Core Disciple of our Spirit Hall!"

"And she was taken away by Lord Lin Yu, the direct disciple of our Spirit Hall's Great Worship Elder. I am merely a lowly Platinum Bishop; I do not have the authority to interfere in Lord Lin Yu's affairs."

"Therefore, everyone should return and inform His Majesty that if he wishes to reclaim her, he should go to the Papal Palace in Spirit City and ask the Great Worship Elder for her!"

After saying this, the Platinum Bishop of the Star Luo City Spirit Hall Holy Temple revealed a faint sneer, his attitude extremely forceful. "Now, withdraw your troops immediately, or bear the consequences yourselves!!"

"You!!" The leader of the Star Luo delegation pointed at the Platinum Bishop, his face filled with rage.
