Chapter 187 The Delusion and Madness of the Old Forces

Zhu Zhuqing slowly walked into this familiar yet unfamiliar villa. The luxurious decoration and elegant layout showed that this place was extraordinary. Her eyes swept around, looking for the familiar scenery, but found that everything had changed.

She remembered that this place used to be a lush green garden, where various rare soul beasts and soul grasses grew freely, forming a harmonious and beautiful ecosystem.

Nowadays, the overgrown plants and the gardening landscaping that has grown to the point of deformation due to neglect are silent reminders that this place is no longer what it used to be. She even saw a few wild spirit beasts jumping on dead branches, and a lone captive ornamental spirit beast poking its head in the grass.

The keen Zhu Zhuqing felt that strange eyes were looking towards her from time to time in the surrounding buildings. She turned her head and her sharp eyes directly collided with the eyes of the peepers hidden behind the curtains. A trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, and she glanced coldly at the windows, causing the snoopers to shrink back.

"The Zhu family should not be underestimated. Those who have been eliminated are all of such strength. How powerful will the direct descendant be? It's a pity that the woman is not qualified."

The spy hid behind the scenes, secretly amazed.

Feeling that all the eyes were gone, Zhu Zhuqing followed the deacon in front and continued to move forward. She didn't say much, but carefully remembered the positions of the windows where her eyes had appeared, and her subsequent retreat route.

Although no one is taking care of the garden, the courtyard in front is still intact. After all, it is a summer retreat for the royal family and nobles. There is a huge fountain in front, sparkling water in the sun, and neat rows of flower beds, exuding a faint fragrance.

Throwing down millions of gold soul coins, even if four or five were wiped out in the middle, the funds in place can still prevent this otherworldly garden from being ruined.

The courtyard protected by soul guides and formations was still as luxurious as before, but Zhu Zhuqing didn't care. He wanted to see what tricks the people who wanted to see him were playing.

After walking through the courtyard, the deacon led Zhu Zhuqing into a reception room. The place was decorated in a simple and elegant style, and there was a pot of hot tea brewing on the coffee table. Zhu Zhuqing took a casual glance and found that the furnishings here were all in the original style of the Villa.

No outsiders have entered this villa these days?

The deacon turned around and bowed to Zhu Zhuqing, his etiquette was meticulous and without any mistakes.

"The master is still waiting for guests. Please wait a moment, Miss Zhu."

The butler bowed and left

Zhu Zhuqing is very familiar with this routine.

The long waiting process is just a common method used by nobles. Extending the waiting time allows anxiety to occupy your mind. Those who have taken the initiative in subsequent meetings and wait for work will probably be able to firmly grasp the direction of the words. These Zhu Zhu early morning Just know it by heart.

Of course, Zhu Zhuqing would not be disturbed by this elementary routine. She sat on the sofa in the living room and crossed her long legs elegantly, assuming a comfortable posture. She picked up valuable porcelain and sipped tea elegantly, relaxing her body. Be prepared for whatever situation you may face next.

I never thought that there would be people using this method to deal with people from the Zhu family. It seemed that the people they were about to meet were not very high-ranking.

Time passed quickly, and the silence was broken by the sound of heavy footsteps. Zhu Zhuqing raised his head and saw that the door inlaid with complicated patterns was pushed open by a pair of big hands and walked into the reception room.

The person who came was clearly someone Zhu Zhuqing knew.

Dai Jinglie, Grand Duke of Gengxin City, one of the most influential figures in the Dai family, was the mainstay of the Star Luo Empire during the previous war. After his trial, he was deprived of his noble title, military position and all honors.

He wore a black robe and a sharp sword at his waist. His face was still handsome, but his eyes had lost their former grace and gentleness, replaced by a look of indifference and resentment.

His hair was also a little messy, and he looked a little decadent and downcast.

The originally gentle and gentle Grand Duke turned into a mad tiger full of revenge and rage. As a member of the military, he was naturally not familiar with the testing and strife between nobles, and the reason for the deacon's standard and deliberate etiquette also surfaced.

The Grand Duke ignored the deacon's greetings and guidance, walked straight to Zhu Zhuqing and stopped. He looked Zhu Zhuqing up and down.

After confirming Zhu Zhuqing's condition with his own eyes, Dai Jinglie spoke.

"Second Miss of the Zhu family, I haven't seen you for a long time. The last time I saw you, the little girl you were with cousin Liwei has grown into a tall and graceful girl after not seeing you for a few years."

Zhu Zhuqing changed her posture gracefully and took a sip of tea.

"The Grand Duke's demeanor is still the same as before, so Grand Duke, why do you have to go through all the trouble to find me, a loser in the competition who has been "exiled"?"

Zhu Zhuqing's words were cold and repelling, which made Dai Jinglie feel troubled.

I thought that this concubine of the Zhu family was so embarrassed that she had to run express delivery for a living. She should have been leaning toward her when she saw the situation here, and she looked extra defensive.

"For this matter, if you use such means to invite Miss Zhu to come, of course you have important matters to discuss. Of course, in order to prevent unnecessary trouble, I ask Miss Zhu to hand over your bracelet."

Dai Jinglie gritted his teeth and continued according to the script. This kind of twists and turns between nobles had not been encountered for a long time since he came to Xincheng.

The situation was stronger than anyone else. A Grand Duke of the Soul Saint level was also the owner of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger Spirit, one of the top martial arts in the attack system. Zhu Zhuqing reluctantly took off his bracelet and handed it to the deacon holding the tray beside him.

After the deacon walked out of the door, Dai Jinglie sat down opposite Zhu Zhuqing and prepared to start telling him about his plan.

He looked around and confirmed that there were no eavesdropping or surveillance devices. He took out a small soul guide from his sleeve and pressed a button.

"This is a soundproof formation that can ensure that our conversation will not be heard by outsiders. I want to talk to you about a big plan for the future of the Xingluo Empire."

He put the soul guide on the coffee table, then took out a map and a list from his pocket. He unfolded the map and pointed to several places on it.

"These places are the most important industrial and commercial areas in the Xingluo Empire, and they are also the largest source of funds and pillars for maintaining the operation of the city. If unrest or strikes occur in these places, the entire empire will fall into chaos and crisis."

He handed the list to Zhu Zhuqing and asked her to look at the names on it.

"These people are the most influential soul masters in those places. They are all production-type martial spirits. Although they are not strong, they control a large number of people and resources."

"If they can obey our command and mobilize those soul masters and workers to make trouble, we can deal a heavy blow to those people in the Wuhun Hall and the Small Samsara Academy."

Inciting those low-level production-type martial spirit soul masters to make trouble is the main purpose of these old and young people, but there is a very big loophole in this. Why do those soul masters trust you?

The businessman who was executed before was originally responsible for the executor of this plan. Unfortunately, the leader's violent temper wasted this road. Since the offline line was cut off, a curious second lady of the Zhu family just happened to bump into it.

Who doesn't know the power of the Zhu family in the business world? Just based on Zhu Tianxiang's prestige, as long as he says a word, these small workshop owners will gather to respond. At that time.

Unfortunately, when they found the head of the Zhu family who was so destitute that he couldn't recognize it at a glance, the old man who swept the floor immediately turned around and left when he saw his face.

After they cornered Zhu Tianxiang in that shabby house and talked to him about the plan to create chaos, he only got one sentence.

"You want to die, I won't stop you, but don't harm your cousin!"

He still remembers the look in Zhu Tianxiang's eyes that looked like he was mentally retarded. What a humiliation that was.
