Ah Rou, standing to the side, naturally heard what Xiao Wu said.
She never imagined that her daughter would have such feelings for Mr. Xiaoming... She'd even thought of a name for the child?
Yes, my daughter, who is dressed in black, seems to be very close to another Mr. Xiaoming, so it's not surprising that she's acting this way.
However, it seems the competition here is quite fierce.
"You two chat slowly, I have something to do. Xiao Wu, you and Little Xiao Wu should get along well."
Wang Xiaoming placed Little Xiao Wu in Xiao Wu's arms, then turned and went to the side courtyard.
Twelve-year-old Xiao Wu and three-year-old Xiao Wu were left staring at each other, wide-eyed. (They developed slowly when they weren't in contact with humans, so this is roughly how they look.)
Wang Xiaoming arrived at the reception room, where Meng Zhuang and Zhu Meiyu were waiting.
At this moment, Zhu Meiyu was dressed in an exquisite black outfit, which perfectly showcased her beautiful figure, and half of her face was covered by a mask.
The saying "clothes make the man" perfectly describes her current appearance.
Wang Xiaoming looked at Zhu Meiyu at this moment and nodded unconsciously.
"Great, it looks good on you."
"Thank you for the compliment, Master."
In this place where their lives could be decided at any moment, Zhu Meiyu, or perhaps it was just her nature, did everything in a very proper and orderly manner, leaving no room for criticism.
Zhu Meiyu bowed respectfully, and the large fruits fell from the branches, causing Wang Xiaoming's gaze to unconsciously shift downwards.
The Netherworld Clan's talent is indeed terrifyingly powerful.
He admitted that the Star Luo Imperial Family had excellent judgment.
Wang Xiaoming turned around, sat down in the main seat, and waved his hand.
"Get up. He's the captain of the guard I personally selected. There are no outsiders here, so don't be so reserved."
"Yes!"
Then, Wang Xiaoming looked at Meng Zhuang.
" Uncle Meng, what has been done with the people of the Netherworld Clan?"
"In response to your question, young master, at present, Miss Meiyu Yu is the strongest and serves as the captain of the guards in the manor. The other two, Zhuyun and Zhufeng, are both Soul Ancestor. One is responsible for the safety of the manor's outings, and the other is responsible for the manor's guard duties."
As for the three who lacked Soul Power, I have assigned them to the family's businesses based on their strengths.
The remaining children will await your personal arrangements after they awaken their Martial Soul.
Meng Zhuang recounted everything one by one, and Wang Xiaoming listened with nodding approval.
As expected of Meng Zhuang, the arrangements were impeccable.
"Not bad. Has anything happened in Heaven Dou City lately? Let's talk about the things that might affect us first."
Upon hearing this, Meng Zhuang thought for a moment.
"Nothing serious, Heaven Dou City remains as usual. As for matters concerning us... it's the Crown Prince's residence that's been sending people every day to inquire about the Viscount's itinerary, when he'll be returning, and so on, saying that His Highness the Crown Prince misses you very much."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoming's lips twitched.
Do you miss me?
You really want to kill me, don't you?
Is Qian Renxue really that vengeful?
Coming to inquire about this kind of thing every day... Does Xue Qinghe really not want to ruin his reputation?
Why did Zhu Meiyu's gaze suddenly become strange?
Change back to normal!
He said irritably, "Don't worry about the Crown Prince. Just say I'm still traveling south with the Imperial Fighting Team, and my return date is uncertain."
Just kidding, if Qian Renxue went there now, she might turn into a self-destructing truck.
The things he did probably left an even deeper impression on Qian Renxue than Tang San did in the original novel.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so desperate as to have people inquiring about her whereabouts.
This should be considered a good outcome... At least, Qian Renxue's goal is herself, and she won't easily change it.
He's fallen for someone else...
I just don't know how much longer she can endure it.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoming's fingers unconsciously rubbed against the ring.
"Now that everything is arranged, I should consider recruiting more people..."
Let Qian Renxue calm down for a while.
As he spoke, he looked at Zhu Meiyu.
" Sister Yu, come with me to the Star Luo Empire tomorrow. You should know a lot about the power distribution within the Star Luo Empire and their locations, right?"
Zhu Meiyu was taken aback upon hearing this, and instinctively felt some resistance to returning to the Star Luo Empire.
But since Wang Xiaoming has already said that...
"I wonder... which faction do you wish to know about?"
" The Breaking Clan."
After listening to Wang Xiaoming's words, Zhu Meiyu remained silent for a moment.
She certainly knew about the Breaking Clan; this clan held considerable power within the Star Luo Empire, with its businesses spread Star Luo Empire.
Their tribesmen are not only exceptionally strong in battle, but also skilled in medicine making.
"Master, I have something to say, but I'm not sure if I should."
Wang Xiaoming looked at Zhu Meiyu without replying, his expression calm.
Zhu Meiyu quickly lowered her head.
Before those eyes, it was as if her thoughts could be read out.
After a while, Wang Xiaoming spoke calmly.
"You think... I can't control them, right?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Meiyu did not speak, but simply lowered her head even further.
That's exactly what she thought.
Unlike us losers, the Breaking Clan isn't so destitute that they can't survive. They would obediently follow someone if given a bite to eat.
After all, their assets are all in the Star Luo Empire, and they are firmly rooted there.
After arriving here, she had learned about the Viscount's estate, but she could only say that it had nothing to do with the Breaking Clan.
There was absolutely no need for them to have any dealings with a viscount of the Heaven Dou Empire, let alone be subdued by him.
Wang Xiaoming didn't reprimand him verbally; he just smiled.
"Don't worry, Sister Yu, we're just going to the Star Luo Empire for a stroll tomorrow. I'm not so arrogant as to think I can subdue anyone I want."
With the Aromatic Silk Beauty, plus his own talent, he could only say he had a 70% chance of success.
There's no harm in finding out beforehand.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Meiyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then she told Wang Xiaoming everything she knew.
After nightfall.
Ning Rongrong secretly ran away from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy and returned to Wang Xiaoming's Viscount's mansion.
Of course, the enrollment process has already been completed.
She didn't want Ning Fengzhi to find fault with her and make her a laughingstock for Wang Xiaoming.
Just as Wang Xiaoming was thinking in his study.
The study door was kicked open with a bang.
Ning Rongrong stormed in, her face full of anger.
She also had a small baby tucked under her arm.
Upon seeing this, Wang Xiaoming's lips twitched.
" Rongrong, isn't the way you open the door a bit unusual? Aren't you afraid of setting a bad example for the children?"
"Ha?!"
Ning Rongrong became even angrier after hearing what Wang Xiaoming said.
"I'm a bad influence on children? Are you sure you're not the one who's corrupting them?"
As she spoke, she lifted Little Xiao Wu up in front of her and said through gritted teeth.
"You scumbag! When did you and Xiao Wu have a child? I didn't even know!"
"???"
