"Thank you for your kindness, brother-in-law, but I'll be returning to Star Luo City with Mother Zhu in a few days, so I won't trouble you any further."

Qingzhu Zhu didn't look at Dai Mubai, but smiled at Dai Weisi, "After leaving home and coming to Nuoding City, I made new friends and completed an adventure mission at the Nuoding Guild. I saw scenery I had never seen before, and I'm very happy."

"Really? That's good."

Dai Weisi didn't insist, but instructed Mother Zhu, "Afterwards, you must safely send Miss Zhu Zhuqing back to Star Luo City. If anything goes wrong, you will be held responsible."

"This is my duty, and I hope Young Master Dai can rest assured," Mother Zhu replied respectfully.

"Why don't we go with them?"

Zhou Qing glanced at Dai Mubai's increasingly red eyes and had a feeling that this guy was going to cause some trouble. He thought it would be better to let Qingzhu Zhu leave with the Star Luo Royal Academy Team.

Is that so?

Qingzhu Zhu noticed Zhou Qing's gaze just now, and also glanced at Dai Mubai, as if she had figured out the key point:

Do what you want, don't worry about what others think...

This statement actually has a premise: you have to get rid of the troublesome guy first!

Born into the Nether Spirit Cat Clan, she developed a natural affinity with Dai Mubai's White Tiger Martial Soul after awakening Martial Soul, thus binding their fates together.

They are not free.

Although Zhou Qing's words to her seemed to suggest that since one cannot resist fate, one should enjoy life to the fullest before fate arrives, Qingzhu Zhu believed that with Zhou Qing's intelligence, it was impossible for her to be so superficial; there must be a deeper meaning behind it.

That means you must never give up hope!

After all, he also said, if you don't do well, don't blame yourself, blame the world... Therefore, it's definitely not his fault, so it can only be Dai Mubai's fault.

Perhaps from Dai Mubai's perspective, escaping is indeed the easiest option, but why should Qingzhu Zhu's fate be completely tied to Dai Mubai's?

Since she can do whatever she wants, and she has the right to do so, it is also her freedom to choose what kind of Soul Ring to add to her Martial Soul in the future.

Since the fault cannot lie with oneself, but only with the world or other people, then all that is needed is to find a way to eliminate these so-called "other people."

Although she couldn't resolve the competition within the Star Luo Royal Family, settling things with Dai Mubai wasn't a problem... As for the final battle with her sister and brother-in-law, influenced by Zhou Qing, Qingzhu Zhu believed that as long as she was fast enough that everyone else was moving in slow motion, even a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill like the Hell White Tiger would be absolutely unable to harm her in the slightest.

With that speed, even if the Star Luo Empire surrounded her, she was confident she could escape unscathed!

Only extreme speed can give her true freedom!

Now, Qingzhu Zhu is certain that Zhou Qing's idea is to make her face Dai Mubai directly, not to ask for the engagement to be dissolved, but at least to make him stop causing trouble for her in the future.

"I see."

Qingzhu Zhu nodded vigorously to Zhou Qing, and then walked towards the Star Luo Royal Academy Team with Mother Zhu.

Dai Weisi was slightly surprised and gestured to Zhu Zhuyun with his eyes, as if asking: Why does Zhu Zhuqing listen to Zhou Qing so much?

Zhu Zhuyun shrugged and replied: I don't know—

Zhu Zhuyun would never reveal that her younger sister had Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing's fate...

Although he was exceptionally talented, Zhu Zhuyun didn't really care much. In this world, geniuses, especially commoner geniuses, had to rely on the major powers, families, and sects on the continent in order to avoid being bothered by the trivialities of life.

Otherwise, even Commoner Soul Master at the Soul King or Soul Emperor level would have to worry about Soul Coins.

This is what Zhou Qing meant when he said: the Douluo Continent pie has already been divided up by the various nobles, families, and sects within the three major forces. For Soul Master from commoner backgrounds, even if they have exceptional talent for cultivation, it is extremely difficult to truly establish themselves and break out of this framework. Once they join this established game system, they have to adapt to and maintain the system, otherwise they will be despised by everyone.

Therefore, even if Zhou Qing and others were truly once-in-a-century prodigies, it wouldn't attract much attention from Dai Weisi and Zhu Zhuyun.

However, Zhu Zhuyun had to consider Zhu Zhuqing's thoughts. If Zhou Qing were to get into trouble in the near future, her younger sister would probably hate her for the rest of her life.

As for Qingzhu Zhu's behavior, Dai Mubai's gaze towards Zhou Qing was filled with resentment: Why does Zhu Zhuqing listen to this kid so much? But she doesn't even give me a second glance?

"Lord Soul Saint, if there is nothing else, then we shall take our leave." Mo Hen Bowing Body and greeted Zhong Dingxiu.

"Okay, let's go."

Only after receiving Zhong Dingxiu's affirmation did Mo Hen finally feel completely relieved.

Who would have thought that Qingzhu Zhu actually knew the members of the Star Luo Royal Academy Team, and even that they were from Star Luo City!

After walking a hundred meters away from Nuoding Plaza, Mo Hen, realizing Zhu Zhuqing's true identity, said to Zhou Qing, "You actually possess Martial Soul Fusion Skill with someone from such a background? A real-life version of ' The Commoner and Noble Love '?"

The so-called "Commoner and Noble Love" is a novel in the story section of the Nuoding Library. Zhou Qing, with a rigorous attitude of exploring the humanities and arts of this Douluo Continent society, also read it. It tells the story of a poor commoner girl falling in love with a rich nobleman.

What impressed Zhou Qing the most about this story was that the poor girl became Fallen Ones in order to be with the rich young man and thus quickly increase her Soul Power.

Overall, in the Douluo Continent, love is still relatively free.

However, for a man and woman to truly be together, being well-matched in terms of social standing is crucial. This is especially true for Soul Master; their partner must also be Soul Master, and in most cases, the difference in their strength shouldn't be too significant. This involves both physical and psychological resilience.

If one party's Soul Power Level far surpasses that of the other, then after marriage, the one party will definitely be at a disadvantage, leading to an unhappy marriage and the disadvantaged party's self-esteem being suppressed for a long time.

Under these circumstances, there are only two possibilities for having a happy and fulfilling life:

Firstly, love between two people, or love from one person to the other, transcends the physical level of "sex" and pursues "love" on a spiritual level; this is true and sublime love.

Secondly, it is caused by one party's almost "abnormal" possessiveness towards the other.

In this regard, we must mention Yu Xiaogang, who embodies both qualities—

In the original novel, when Bibi Dong was on her deathbed, she said that the person she loved most was Yu Xiaogang. She Destruction the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan for him. It can be seen that although her love for Yu Xiaogang was one-sided, it transcended "sex". On the other hand, Liu Erlong had the idea of forcibly taking Yu Xiaogang's body in the original novel. It can be seen that her love for Yu Xiaogang was more about possessiveness.

But without a doubt, Yu Xiaogang's cowardice led to both of them having an extremely morbid love for him.

Just like the heroine in the book "The Commoner and Noble Love", she also fell into a pathological state in order to be able to marry a rich young man in terms of social standing and wealth.

Art originates from life.

This illustrates a broader point: examples like Bibi Dong, who turned from love to hate in the original novel, are not uncommon in the reality of the Douluo Continent.

However, Bibi Dong possessed talent, strength, and influence, so the impact she had in the original work could even reach the entire continent.

The only lesson humanity has learned from history is:

Humanity never learns from history!

The reason why Mo Hen mentioned "The Commoner and Noble Love" is...
