Chapter 482: Illegitimate Son Ming Zhuo
Yun Qichen was stunned. "They didn't seem to say anything."
Wu Xingyu's silver eyes moved slightly. The empire was his home ground, and he would not let his brother-in-law steal the limelight.
So, while escorting Yun Qimu inside, he explained in a slightly cold voice, "If there's no agreement on re-setting the rules, then we'll follow the rules of the Saint Roya Arena. It'll be a round-robin format, with a time limit of 5:00 PM today. Each side will send a representative to fight in the arena. The loser will step down, and the winner will continue until the loser loses. Whoever is finally standing in the arena at 5:00 PM will be the winner."
"Oh, this rule is good. It can show the strength of both families." Yun Qimu's eyes sparkled and he added something in his mind. Of course, the most important thing is that this rule is very suitable for them to display puppets.
"Then can the loser still go on stage?"
"No, each representative from each side can only fight once."
"Oh." Yun Qimu nodded thoughtfully and glanced in the direction of the Ming family. Yesterday, because of Ming Xiao, they also investigated the Ming family. Now the head of the Ming family, Ming Duo, who is Ming Xiao's second uncle, is a very capable person. Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the reproduction of offspring.
The head of the Yun family, Yun Wu, only has two sons, Yun Ting and Yun He. There are not many young people in other branches of the Yun family, and the total number does not exceed thirty. However, Ming Duo is very powerful.
His official wife gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl, one named Mingyu and the other named Mingqin. In addition, he had many illegitimate sons and daughters, and as far as they knew, there were more than ten of them.
You have to know that it is not easy for interstellar people to get pregnant, especially for those with superpowers, it is more difficult than ordinary people to have children, but Ming Duo can actually achieve such a high yield. He has given birth to more than ten children in more than 20 years, which is considered a high yield.
When Yun Qimu learned about this, he was also shocked.
The most important thing is that apart from the two biological children, these illegitimate sons and daughters are not born from the same mother, and some of them are even people with superpowers. This makes Yun Qimu admire Ming Duo's charm.
He is a talent as he can make so many women, even those with special abilities, give birth to children for him without any legal status.
Yun Qimu sat in the audience stands and watched this talented person from afar. It must be said that his face was indeed very advantageous. He was over a hundred years old, but his face was still maintained like a young man in his twenties.
He bore some resemblance to Ming Xiao, looking elegant and distinguished, his clothes fashionably dressed, and his smile evoked some of Hua Ming Fei's gentle and graceful demeanor. However, his gaze was crooked, and the gleam in his eyes was quite displeasing.
As if noticing Yun Qimu's gaze, Ming Duo was slightly stunned and then smiled, giving her what he thought was a very charming smile.
Yunqimu: I feel a little nauseous.
Wu Xingyu's face turned dark.
Yun Qimu quickly looked away and asked, "What are the requirements for the representatives sent to compete? We can't just let anyone go, right?"
Wu Xingyu's expression softened slightly as he continued to explain, "The rules state that only those under fifty can represent the competition. This means it's a contest between the younger generations of the two families."
"When the Saint Roya Grand Arena was first built, it was to showcase the strength of the two families and to resolve any disputes between them through mecha competitions. The younger generation represents the future of the family, so it is best for them to represent them in the competition."
Yun Qimu nodded, thinking that this arena was well organized.
"What if both sides are still standing in the ring at five o'clock in the afternoon?"
Wu Xingyu: "Then let this be the final match. Whoever wins will be the winner of the family behind him."
"oh."
After a few questions, Yun Qimu understood the rules of the fight between the two families and now he was just waiting for them to start.
After Yun Qichen returned with the puppet, the remaining one-third of the seats in the auditorium were filled, and the drums sounded on the stage, and the competition officially began.
In the first battle, the Ming family sent out Ming Duo's illegitimate son named Ming Zhuo.
Ming Zhuo was actually quite famous in Saint Roya. His biological mother was a viscount's daughter. Ming Duo was also a capable man. He had seduced this viscount's daughter into being crazy about him. She would go through fire and water for him and was willing to bear a child for him even though she had no legal status. This incident made the front page headlines in Saint Roya at the time and was searched hotly on the Star Network.
Ming Duo also had a romantic affair because of this. After all, noble families attached great importance to the reputation of their young ladies, but the imperial law did not clearly stipulate the punishment for infidelity.
So in this case where both parties are willing and neither party is pursuing responsibility, the most that happened was that the Viscountess's reputation was slightly damaged, but Ming Duo did not receive any punishment, which instead proved his great charm.
Moreover, Ming Duo did a good job of comforting his wife, and she did not make a fuss. Therefore, this incident became a big deal, and Ming Zhuo's life experience became a tacit "secret" known to everyone.
Of course, this incident happened more than 20 years ago, and Mingzhuo's popularity could not have continued until now. The reason why Mingzhuo is still quite famous now is not because of this incident, but because Mingzhuo himself is excellent.
The Imperial Academy is the highest institution of learning in the empire. Every year, tens of thousands of people want to be admitted to the Imperial Academy, and the first place result is even more glorious. Ming Zhuo was the first one to be admitted to the Imperial Academy three years ago. At the age of 26, he was already an S-level thunder-type ability user. During the three years at the Imperial Academy, he has always been the chief of the Mecha Department and is known as the "Mecha Genius".
This is the truth behind Ming Zhuo's fame in the empire.
A small number of people in the audience probably came just to see this mecha genius.
These are all Ming Zhuo's information on the surface, but after Qi Mu secretly investigated through Wu Xingyu's power, he found that the real situation was not like this.
Ming Zhuo's mother, the young lady of the Viscount's family, is a very interesting person. She is the only child in the Viscount's family, but women cannot inherit the title. Probably after the Viscount dies, their family will choose someone from the clan to inherit the Viscount's title.
But the Viscountess disagreed and objected very desperately, because the title of Viscount was earned by her father with great difficulty, and it was not inherited from the family. Why should those people in the clan get it for free?
So she thought of a way. Although she could not inherit her father's title, her son with the same surname as her could.
But if she wanted her son not to take his father's surname, she had to stay single.
The Viscountess knew that this was almost impossible, as children usually took their father's surname. Aristocrats, in particular, would not raise a child who lived off their father, even if he did so. So the Viscountess set her sights on Ming Duo, a playboy with a prolific illegitimate child.
