"Junlin, is Zhuqing back?" Hearing the conversation between Zhu Junlin and the guard, a beautiful woman standing beside Zhu Junlin couldn't help but ask with a trace of concern.
She was Zhu Zhuqing's mother, Lin Xiyue.
She was also the only person in this huge Duke's Mansion who still cared about Zhu Zhuqing.
Since Zhu Zhuqing left at the age of nine, she hadn't returned for nearly five years. Lin Xiyue missed her very much. After all, Zhu Zhuqing was also her flesh and blood.
"Yes, not only did she come back, but she also brought the Palace Master of the Dragon King Palace in. Hmph, what a good daughter. She's so bold."
Zhu Junlin snorted coldly.
He already knew about Lu Yuan's identity. After all, Lu Yuan's identity as the Palace Master of the Dragon King Palace was exposed in public. Such explosive news had already spread throughout the continent. Basically, all the leaders of the major forces knew about it.
It couldn't be helped. The Dragon King Palace was too tyrannical now. Its strength was second only to the Martial Soul Palace. When the identity of the Palace Master of such a super force was exposed, it was impossible for the leaders of these forces not to pay attention.
Originally, he was very angry that Zhu Zhuqing had run away from the marriage and followed another man. Especially when that man had crippled Davis, he was even more furious.
After all, Davis was the person who had the best chance of becoming the Crown Prince. In this way, Zhu Zhuyun would be the Crown Princess and might even become the Empress in the future.
Once Zhu Zhuyun became the Empress, the status of the Netherworld Family would naturally be strengthened.
How could he not be angry when Lu Yuan ruined all of this?
However, when he knew about Lu Yuan's identity, his anger disappeared. After all, the Palace Master of the Dragon King Palace wasn't someone he could offend. Moreover, it was actually a good thing for the Zhu Family that Zhu Zhuqing could follow him. At the very least, they would be related to the Dragon King Palace. They might even be able to use the name of the Dragon King Palace in the future.
Therefore, he acquiesced to Zhu Zhuqing following Lu Yuan.
As long as Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing did not come to the Duke of Netherworld's Mansion to cause trouble, it would be fine.
However, he didn't expect that this time, Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing would come to his door so openly. Moreover, when he didn't allow Zhu Zhuqing to enter, they directly barged in. This made Zhu Junlin a little annoyed.
"Zhuqing has always been bold. The wild man she's with even dared to cripple Whis. What's the big deal about breaking in?" As soon as Zhu Junlin finished speaking, Zhu Zhuyun's voice rang out. Her words were filled with resentment and jealousy.
She resented the fact that Lu Yuan had crippled Davis, causing his status to plummet and he no longer had any chance of inheriting the throne. As a result, even she had no chance of becoming the Crown Princess, causing her status to plummet.
She was jealous that Zhu Zhuqing could find a man like Lu Yuan, the wife of the Dragon King Palace's Lord. This status was not any lower than the Empress of a country. Moreover, Lu Yuan loved and protected her so much. This made her even more jealous.
Why could Zhu Zhuqing get so much? Not only did she not get the so-called love, but even the rights and status that belonged to her were also destroyed. Therefore, her heart was filled with resentment and anger.
"Shut up. Who are you to call a wild man? Do you want to bring disaster to our Netherworld Family?" Upon hearing Zhu Zhuyun's words, Zhu Junlin raised his hand and slapped Zhu Zhuyun's face.
Davis was crippled, and Zhu Zhuyun no longer had the status of the Crown Princess. Her presence in the Netherworld Family was much lower. These aristocratic families were like this. Once you lost your value, you wouldn't be able to enjoy any good treatment.
In the past, Zhu Junlin had never slapped Zhu Zhuyun. However, today, he actually raised his hand and slapped her.
Not only was there no familial affection in the imperial family, but even the Netherworld Family, which had been connected to the imperial family through marriage for generations, was similar.
"Well done. This woman deserves it!" Lu Yuan's clear voice sounded as a group of guards was thrown to the ground.
Zhu Junlin turned around and saw a young man in white holding the hand of a young lady in black. They were slowly walking towards him. Behind them were three men and a woman.
Zhu Junlin recognized the black-clothed girl at a glance.
Although he hadn't seen her for five years, how could Zhu Junlin not recognize his own daughter?
Zhu Junlin's gaze shifted slightly to the young man in white. He saw that the young man's eyebrows were as sharp as swords, and his eyes were as bright as stars. He looked handsome, dignified, and had an extraordinary temperament.
Even with his experience, he had to admit that this was the first time he had seen such an outstanding young man. It was no wonder that Zhu Zhuqing liked him. It wasn't just because of his status and strength. His appearance was also a great weapon.
After hearing the voice, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but turn around. When she saw Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing holding hands, the resentment and jealousy in her heart intensified. "Lu Yuan, this is the Duke of Netherworld's Mansion. It's not a place you should be."
Zhu Zhuyun said sternly as she looked at Lu Yuan.
"The Duke of Netherworld's Mansion? So what? There's no place in this world that I can't go. I can even enter and leave the Star Luo Palace whenever I want. "
After hearing this, Lu Yuan laughed disdainfully. He looked at Zhu Zhuyun with a mocking smile.
"However, someone has just been slapped, and now she's acting up again? Oh, right, I forgot to ask. How is Davis? We haven't seen each other for a long time since the Continental Elite Soul Master Tournament. I do miss him. "
Lu Yuan said with a smile.
"Lu Yuan, you crippled Davis, and now you're still pretending. You're really a bastard." Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but point at Lu Yuan and scold him loudly.
"Shut up!" Zhu Junlin shouted at Zhu Zhuyun and slapped her again.
After being slapped again, Zhu Zhuyun immediately stopped talking. She didn't dare to scold him again, but the resentment in her eyes became even more intense.
Zhu Junlin retracted his hand and looked at Lu Yuan again. "This must be Hallmaster Lu Yuan from the Dragon King Hall. I've heard a lot about you."
"Oh, my identity has only been announced for a few months, and you've already heard a lot about me? Could it be that you've known my identity for a long time? "
Lu Yuan snorted and asked with a sneer.
After hearing this, Zhu Junlin couldn't help but be stunned. The corner of his mouth twitched. He was just being polite. Could it be that Hallmaster Lu couldn't tell?
Furthermore, his attitude doesn't seem to be friendly. He was the one who barged into the Duke of Netherworld's Mansion and was in the wrong first. Why am I the one who has to be humble now?
Zhu Junlin muttered to himself.
