Just as Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing had expected before they came, Zhu Junlin was a cruel and heartless person, but he had a weak personality. Once he was pressured, his first reaction was to give in.
Under the pressure of the four Titled Douluo behind Lu Yuan, his only choice was to agree to break off the engagement.
One option was that he would be punished by the Star Luo royal family in the future, but it wouldn't be fatal.
On the other hand, the Netherworld Family would be massacred by the four Titled Douluo, and the entire Netherworld Family would be uprooted. Even a strong-willed person would choose to give in as long as they weren't brain-damaged, let alone someone like Zhu Junlin, who was facing such a situation.
Even though Zhu Junlin's actions were a little too submissive, this was the rule of this world. The strong were respected, and the weak didn't have the right to speak. The strong preyed on the weak.
Although Zhu Zhuqing looked down on her father's change of attitude, she couldn't blame him. Zhu Junlin wasn't just doing this for his own life. He was doing this for the sake of the entire Netherworld Family. His choice wasn't wrong.
After all, Zhu Zhuqing knew that Lu Yuan was only trying to scare them, but Zhu Junlin didn't know that.
After hearing Zhu Junlin's words, Lu Yuan turned around and gave Zhu Zhuqing a look. A smile flashed across his eyes.
Zhu Zhuqing also smiled and nodded gently at Lu Yuan.
No matter what, at this point, they had finally achieved the purpose of their visit.
Furthermore, Lu Yuan had helped her suppress the entire Netherworld Duke's Mansion. The gloominess in Zhu Zhuqing's heart had completely disappeared. Even though her childhood memories were cold and unpleasant, she was very happy right now.
At least there was someone who was willing to pamper her and love her. When someone bullied her, he would stand up for her. When she was in trouble, he would help her resolve it. With him around, everything in her life was colorful.
"It's good to have met you." Zhu Zhuqing muttered softly as she stared at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan smiled at Zhu Zhuqing and snapped his fingers once again. Long Xiaoyao and the others immediately retracted their auras and withdrew their martial souls.
The four withdrew their auras, and the invisible pressure that was suppressing Zhu Junlin and the others finally dissipated.
The pressure suddenly dissipated. Zhu Junlin's body first trembled, then slowly returned to normal and stood up from the ground.
Looking at Lu Yuan in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
In his heart, in just a short while, their entire Duke Netherworld's Mansion had taken a trip to the edge of life and death. His heart was truly extremely complicated.
He was the Grand Duke of the Seonra Empire, one of the three great clans. His status was only second to the Star Luo Empire's imperial family, and his status was extremely illustrious.
But what was the use?
In the hands of a true expert, one was still as powerless as grass. If the other party wanted to kill you, you could only stretch out your neck and wait to be killed. You didn't even have the ability to resist.
So what if he was the emperor of a country?
He still had to be polite to the Pope of the Martial Soul Palace.
This was the importance of strength.
While authority and status were important, the most important thing was still strength.
Wasn't Lu Yuan in front of him the same?
He had so many Titled Douluo under him, and he could kill anyone he wanted without any scruples. This was the confidence that came with strength.
"Grand Duke of the Netherworld, don't forget what you said. Let's begin now." Lu Yuan turned to Zhu Junlin and said plainly.
"Don't worry, Hallmaster Lu. I'll naturally do what I said. I'll immediately write a letter and send it to the Star Luo Empire's imperial family to unilaterally cancel the engagement."
Zhu Junlin said.
After being frightened by Lu Yuan, he had already learned to be obedient. Furthermore, in his heart, Lu Yuan was a killing god. Once he lost his temper, he would kill.
Since he couldn't afford to offend him, he could only give in. You're the boss. You're the best.
"Very good. Since we're canceling the engagement today, let's postpone it to tomorrow. I'm not in a hurry." Lu Yuan smiled and said softly.
Hearing this, the corner of Zhu Junlin's mouth twitched. Canceling the engagement today, and marrying tomorrow. How was he not in a hurry?
However, he didn't dare to refute Lu Yuan's words. He could only nod and agree.
"Alright, then that's all for today. Zhuqing and I will go back first. We'll come again tomorrow." Lu Yuan smiled and said.
"Come again tomorrow? Hallmaster Lu, since you and Zhuqing are getting married tomorrow, why don't you stay in the Duke's Mansion today? It'll save you the trouble of running around. "
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Lin Xiyue immediately said.
After speaking, she glanced at Zhu Junlin.
Although Zhu Junlin was unwilling, his wife had already spoken. He could only brace himself and greet them. He didn't dare to chase them away now.
Hearing this, Lu Yuan hesitated slightly and didn't say anything.
Seeing Lu Yuan's hesitation, Lin Xiyue added, "Hallmaster Lu, Zhuqing and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Why don't you stay so that I can talk to Zhuqing for a while."
"This …" Hearing Lin Xiyue's words, Lu Yuan glanced at Zhu Zhuqing. Seeing her expectant eyes, Lu Yuan sighed and nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble Auntie."
"No trouble at all." Lin Xiyue said softly with a smile on her face.
.....
"Zhuqing, is this your room back then?" Lu Yuan asked softly as he looked at the tidy room in front of him.
"Yes. After I left home, I haven't been back for five years. I didn't expect this place to be so clean. I think mother must have ordered people to clean it often."
Zhu Zhuqing said.
"Auntie? Auntie's care for you is not fake. "Thinking of how Lin Xiyue looked at Zhu Zhuqing, Lu Yuan said with a smile.
"Yes, mother loves me very much. When I was young, she was the only one who loved me." Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but nod and say softly.
"Now, she's not the only one who loves you. There's also me. I'll love you very much too." Lu Yuan said softly as he gently held Zhu Zhuqing's waist.
"Mm!" Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing smiled sweetly and leaned into Lu Yuan's embrace.
She was very happy to finally see her mother today. Moreover, after Lu Yuan helped her vent her anger, the gloom in her heart had completely dissipated.
Moreover, her engagement with Dai Mubai had also completely disappeared today. At this moment, she was unprecedentedly relaxed and had broken free from all restraints.
Today, she often had a smile on her face. Her original coldness had disappeared. Without that coldness, Zhu Zhuqing was actually exceptionally obedient and cute.
Especially the smile on her face, it was so sweet that it reached Lu Yuan's heart. This kind of Zhu Zhuqing was really lovable.
