After one round, the Zhu Family, the Wang Family, and other powerful officials from the Star Luo Empire took turns visiting Lin Chen. Soul Master have extremely strong resistance to alcohol, so there was no way they would get drunk.
Tap tap... clatter...
A moment later, a handsome man and a beautiful woman walked in side by side. The man on the left was tall with blond hair and blue eyes, while the woman on the right wore a dark purple leather skirt and pants. She had a curvaceous figure, extremely hot, with her hair styled in a high bun and flowing hair. Her exquisite face was stunningly beautiful and she wore over-the-knee boots, exuding a noble air.
Upon seeing the two, Star Luo Emperor smiled and pointed at them, saying, " Your Emperor, this is my eldest son Dai Weisi, and the other is Lord Zhu's eldest daughter, Zhu Zhuyun. You should have seen them during the competition in Spirit City last time."
Lin Chen nodded. "Yes, that's right."
Upon seeing Dai Weisi, the blonde beauty beside Star Luo Emperor unconsciously furrowed her golden eyebrows, but then regained her composure and smiled, saying:
" Weisi, Zhu Yun, why don't you quickly offer a toast to the Emperor and Elder Ling Yuan?"
Dai Weisi glanced at her delicate figure, a surge of desire coursing through him. He then respectfully said, "Your son obeys Mother's command. Your Emperor, Elder Ling Yuan, Dai Weisi toasts you both."
Sensing his gaze, a flicker of disgust flashed in Dailisi's sapphire blue eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
Seeing Zhu Zhuyun beside Lin Chen, Zhu Zhuqing felt extremely jealous, but on the surface she still said magnanimously, " Emperor Majesty, it has been more than three years since we last met at the Spirit Hall. I would like to offer you a toast as well."
"Hehe... It's been years since we last met, Miss Zhu Yun has become even more beautiful." Lin Chen said politely.
"No, she can't compare to my younger sister~" Zhu Zhuyun chuckled, then gently said to her, " Zhu Zhuqing, how can you sit next to the Emperor? The Second Prince is still waiting for you in the inner palace. Why aren't you with him? Why are you here eating at the banquet?"
Although her tone was strong, every word was barbed. She was not only saying that Zhu Zhuqing didn't know the rules, but also reminding Lin Chen that Zhu Zhuqing was the Second Prince Dai Mubai's fiancée, trying to ruin Zhu Zhuqing's impression on Lin Chen Xin.
Moreover, Zhu Zhuyun is Zhu Zhuqing's older sister, so she has the right to reprimand Zhu Zhuqing in public and also to make herself appear very polite.
If Lin Chen hadn't lived two lives, he might actually have been fooled by her actions...
These nobles, every word and action, is a damn performance!
He's a true Oscar winner.
"Hehe... I asked Zhu Zhuqing to sit here," Lin Chen smiled faintly, " Erlong is her teacher, and the two haven't seen each other for so long, it wouldn't hurt to catch up."
Zhu Zhuyun's beautiful eyes flashed. Seeing that she had not achieved her goal, she turned to look at the beautiful woman beside Zhu Zhuqing: "This must be Teacher Liu Erlong from Shrek. Sister Liu is naturally beautiful and has an extraordinary temperament. No wonder she caught the Emperor's eye."
These words not only praised Liu Erlong but also highlighted Lin Chen's status.
Lin Chen Xin: As expected of a young lady from a noble family, few normal people could resist the charm of her words.
Of course, he enjoyed it, but that was all.
Seeing this, Zhu Zhengxiong said calmly, "Alright, Zhu Yun, sit down after you've finished toasting. Don't delay the Emperor's meal."
A few polite words are enough; anything more would be inappropriate. After all, this is the Star Luo Empire Palace, and everyone present is a powerful figure. Even if you are the eldest daughter of the Zhu Family, you can only say a few more words.
After a round of toasts, the Star Luo Emperor got to the point, smiling as he said, "I wonder what important matter Your Emperor has brought with you? If it's within the Star Luo Empire's power, we promise not to refuse!"
Lin Chen sipped a cup of spirit wine and said calmly, "Great Emperor, recently a group of Fallen Soul Master has suddenly appeared on the Douluo Continent. I think you should already be aware of this?"
" Fallen Soul Master?" The Star Luo Emperor's expression hardened. " Your Emperor, are you referring to the newly emerging Evil Soul Master?"
"Yes, but they can't be called Evil Soul Master." Lin Chen raised his head slightly and then explained the Fallen Soul Master of the Slaughter City.
The Star Luo Emperor's eyes widened. " Your Emperor, do you mean these Evil Soul Master are the ones from the Slaughter City?"
"That's right!" Lin Chen explained, "A year ago, I entered the Slaughter City. Tang San from the Clear Sky Sect happened to be there too. However, after leaving the Slaughter City, he destroyed the Hell Road, which ultimately destroyed the Slaughter City as well. Although most of the Fallen Soul Master inside died or were injured, many of them managed to escape and are now causing trouble in the Douluo Continent."
"Most importantly, even the law enforcers of the Slaughter City have become Evil Soul Master. The Slaughter City has a total of six law enforcement teams, each with more than a dozen members, and the Enforcement Team captains are even Titled Douluo- level beings!"
"What?!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the hearts of all the nobles present sank to the bottom. The Star Luo Emperor stood up in shock. " Your Emperor, do you mean that there are Titled Douluo among those Evil Soul Master?"
The leaders of various factions were focused on the Titled Douluo- level Evil Soul Master, while the aloof cat beside Lin Chen was focused on Tang San. Upon hearing his words, her willow brows furrowed. "Third Brother acted too impulsively. So many Evil Soul Master! How many people on the Douluo Continent will die? Even I almost got...!"
"More than one," Lin Chen said calmly, "However, none of these Titled Douluo- level Evil Soul Master have yet emerged from seclusion to commit evil."
"How did the Emperor find out?" Zhu Zhengxiong asked, his eyes gleaming.
Lin Chen said softly, "Because the captain of the fifth Enforcement Team is now one of my men!"
The fist beneath the Star Luo Emperor's seat clenched slightly, and he looked solemnly in Lin Chen's direction. At this moment, the other noble leaders were also discussing among themselves, feeling awe and respect for Lin Chen.
After hesitating for a while, the Star Luo Emperor clasped his hands in a salute to Lin Chen: " Your Emperor, if the Star Luo Empire faces any crisis in the future, I hope you and the Spirit Hall will lend a helping hand."
"No problem. As long as you are friends of the Spirit Hall, let alone a mere Fallen Soul Master, even the King of Slaughter cannot harm you in the slightest!" Lin Chen hinted.
The Star Luo Emperor was well aware of Lin Chen's purpose: to make the Star Luo Empire submit to the Spirit Hall. However, having held the throne for decades, how could he easily bow down to anyone else?
So he was being polite, and Lin Chen took the opportunity to make an uncertain promise.
Zhu Zhengxiong glanced at Zhu Zhuqing beside Lin Chen, and a thought suddenly occurred to him, " Your Emperor, did you come here only to eliminate the Evil Soul Master?"
"Of course not," Lin Chen said meaningfully, "It's just that I can't tell you all about the mission for now, but there is something I'd like to discuss with the Zhu Family."
Zhu Zhengxiong forced a rare smile, "Oh? Your Emperor, please feel free to give your orders. As long as it's within my power, I, Old Zhu, will certainly not refuse."
Zhu Zhuqing, standing next to Lin Chen, looked at her father with complicated eyes, chuckled, and thought to herself: He probably didn't even smile when I was born.
To her surprise, Lin Chen's next words left her frozen in her chair...
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Patriarch Zhu Family, Zhu Zhuqing is exceptionally talented and has an elegant demeanor. I fell in love with her the first time I saw her. Today, I would like to take this opportune moment to discuss the marriage with you, Zhu Family."
