After being kicked away by the Evil-Eyed Saint King, Dai Mubai fell back into endless illusions.
The Asura Illusion Realm made people witness the scene they had once feared and dreaded most, and what Dai Mubai saw was...
The brutal competition within the Star Luo Imperial Family!
Defeated by Dai Weisi, reduced to a prisoner, subjected to every torment, and finally dead!
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing was also undergoing the trial of the illusion.
Within her mental illusion, long-sealed memories awakened.
Among the trees in the courtyard, a maid stopped the boy who had come to deliver a message, her expression somewhat probing.
"What did your young master send you here for?"
"To-to see whether you're pretty, miss..."
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Afterward, in the wooded garden, Dai Mubai looked at his subordinate, who had returned in a sorry state with a handprint on his face.
"Did you see her?"
His subordinate held his swollen, reddened cheek, his face full of grievance. "I did... but look what happened to me! She asked what I was there for, and the moment I told her, she had someone slap me!"
Hearing this, Dai Mubai could not help bursting into laughter. With a kitten in his arms and a white dove perched on his shoulder, he looked at the dejected attendant.
"You really are an idiot!"
Before long, a white dove flew to Zhu Zhuqing with a letter.
Zhu Zhuqing unfolded the paper. On it was Dai Mubai's scrawled handwriting.
I heard people say you're the one who'll marry me someday. Oude came back and said you're very pretty. But I don't really trust his judgment, because he's an idiot.
-Dai Mubai
After reading it, Zhu Zhuqing felt a surge of anger and abruptly crumpled the paper into a ball.
