"What's the matter today? Why are you up so early? " Zhu Zhuqing was still lying on the bed when she saw that Lu Yuan was already fully dressed. She was a little puzzled as she asked him this question.
Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "There's someone who I think will be coming today. I have to get up to welcome him, so I can't get up too late."
"Someone? Who is it?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
"Who else could it be? That old fox Ning Fengzhi. After I finished crafting my soul tool, I sealed it in the warehouse because of the tournament. I haven't sent it to him since. I'm afraid he's already very anxious."
"Furthermore, I heard from Elder Dugu that the Snowy Night Emperor wants to rope me in. If I'm not mistaken, Ning Fengzhi will be the first to persuade him. He'll do his best to pull me to the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. After all, he's still supporting the Heaven Dou Empire."
Lu Yuan said softly.
"What do you want to do?" Zhu Zhuqing asked curiously.
"Of course I'll go with the flow. I'll take this opportunity to get involved in the game between the upper echelons of the Heaven Dou Empire. I'll work with Cher to swallow the entire Heaven Dou Empire." Lu Yuan said plainly.
"I see." After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Zhu Zhuqing pondered for a moment before saying, "Even though that's the case, you can't agree too quickly. Otherwise, if things go too smoothly, it'll arouse suspicion."
"Of course!" After hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "If they want to rope me in, they'll have to pay a price. If they don't give me some benefits, I won't agree. Don't worry about this. I've already made plans."
"It's good that you have a plan." Zhu Zhuqing nodded gently as she thought about how Lu Yuan had always been meticulous in his plans.
Suddenly, her lips curled into a weird smile. "The Snowy Night Emperor is really courting death. He actually opened the door for a wolf like you. I find it funny when I think about how he wants to rope in the Martial Soul Palace's Holy Son."
"Heh, who asked me to keep my identity a secret? From the point of view of the Snowy Night Emperor, it is not wrong for him to rope me in. On the contrary, it is very wise because the current Dragon King Palace is indeed very strong, even stronger than the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. It is normal for him to rope me in. "
"However, this seemingly correct decision is based on the fact that I'm only the Dragon King Palace Lord. In reality, I'm still the Holy Son of the Martial Soul Palace. This decision of his is pushing the Heaven Dou Empire further into the abyss. From a third party's point of view, I have to say that his actions are a little ridiculous."
With that, Lu Yuan couldn't help but laugh.
"Well, I'll go out first. You can sleep for a while." Looking at Zhu Zhuqing, Lu Yuan's eyes had a trace of concern.
"No, I'll get up too. I'll go with you later. Didn't you say that you wanted me to learn more about these things by your side?" Zhu Zhuqing said with a smile.
"Oh, alright then!" Hearing this, Lu Yuan considered for a moment, and then nodded.
.....
The blazing sun hung in the sky, and bright golden light shone on the ground.
In the guest room of the Dragon King Palace, Lu Yuan and Ning Fengzhi were sitting opposite each other.
"Obuchi, we haven't met for a long time, right?" Ning Fengzhi said warmly as he looked at Lu Yuan opposite him.
"Not that long. It's only been a little more than a year." Lu Yuan said plainly.
"A little more than a year is already very long." Ning Fengzhi sighed as he sipped his tea.
"Obuchi, where have you been for the past year? I've been here a few times, but you weren't around. "Ning Fengzhi asked softly as he looked at Lu Yuan.
"Something happened during the past year, and I couldn't get away. I also didn't have the time to craft soul tools. I've caused some inconvenience for Uncle Ning." Lu Yuan said softly.
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Ning Fengzhi was moved. He knew that Lu Yuan didn't want to talk about where he had been for the past year. However, he was also a smart person. Since Lu Yuan didn't want to talk about it, he didn't ask.
Ning Fengzhi's tone changed as he smiled faintly and said, "It's fine for me. It's fine if I procure all the soul tools later. It's just that Rong Rong is pitiful. She's missed you very much over the past year, and she's lost a lot of weight. My heart aches when I see her."
"She's gotten a lot better after you came back, and she's become more energetic. Obuchi, you've really charmed my Rongrong."
After hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Lu Yuan's body trembled slightly. He couldn't help but glance at Ning Rongrong, who had been standing quietly beside Ning Fengzhi.
Right now, her cheeks were rosy, and her jade-like hands were tightly gripping the corners of her dress. She looked very shy, but her gaze was still bold as she looked at Lu Yuan. Her eyes were burning with passion, and they were filled with deep affection.
"Ahem!" After meeting Ning Rongrong's gaze, Lu Yuan was instantly defeated. He coughed slightly and decisively changed the topic.
"Uncle Ning, do you have any business with me this time? If you want soul tools, I've already crafted a batch. They're in the warehouse. When the time comes, you can take them away. "
After seeing that Lu Yuan had changed the topic, Ning Rongrong bit her red lips gently. There was a tinge of disappointment in her eyes. Why is it so difficult for me to be with Lu Yuan?
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Ning Rongrong before looking at Lu Yuan, who had changed the topic. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It seems like it'll take some time for Rongrong to pursue this fellow.
After thinking for a while, Ning Fengzhi revealed a smile on his face again. He said, "I've come to find you for some important matters today. Soul tools are just one of them. The other matter is to help someone pass on a message."
"What message?" Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and pretended not to know anything.
"Haha, this should be good news for you. His Majesty has long heard of your name. He wants to invite you to meet him next Sunday so that we can get to know each other." Ning Fengzhi smiled.
"Get to know each other? I'm afraid he's trying to rope me in. "After hearing this, Lu Yuan tapped his finger on the table and said with a half-smile.
"Haha, His Majesty does have this intention." Ning Fengzhi said with a smile. He didn't have any intention of refuting. This was because he knew that Lu Yuan was also a smart person. He had already seen through everything. Since that was the case, he might as well admit it openly.
Furthermore, this matter was related to the Snowy Night Emperor. It didn't have much to do with Ning Fengzhi. If he admitted it, then so be it. There was no harm in admitting it.
"I knew this old man had other ideas. Otherwise, why would he take the initiative to invite me to meet him?" Lu Yuan said with a faint smile.
