"You can choose either of these two paths. It's up to you to choose whichever one you want."
Although Zhu Zhuqing had been acting very softly so far, after Si Yun asked this question, she decisively chose the first path.
"I want to become stronger and defeat her myself."
"Okay, I'll keep my promise and help you."
"What will it cost me?"
Si Yun looked Zhu Zhuqing up and down, then said, "Forget it, let's talk about it later. You don't have anything to give me right now, so I'll just owe it to you first."
"Oh, okay." Zhu Zhuqing blinked her big eyes and said in a daze.
After that, the two kept chatting, and later Zhu Zhuqing even fell asleep in the pavilion. Seeing this, Si Yun couldn't just ignore her, so he took out two blankets from his soul guide and wrapped her tightly, fearing that she would catch a cold. He practiced on the side.
The night passed in the blink of an eye.
The next day.
Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes drowsily and felt that today was inexplicably colder than usual.
After opening her eyes completely, Zhu Zhuqing was stunned for a long time looking at the different ceiling in front of her.
"You're awake. How did you sleep last night?"
"I fell asleep here."
"Well, I was completely lost yesterday. You looked very tired, so I couldn't wake you up. I didn't know where you lived, and there wasn't a single palace servant passing by this damn place. I had no choice but to wrap you in a few more layers of quilts. I hope you didn't catch a cold."
Zhu Zhuqing shook her head slightly. She was also a soul master, and her physical fitness was much stronger than that of ordinary children, so she was not so prone to illness.
"That's good. Take me to your house so that I can visit you in the future."
"good."
Having said that, Zhu Zhuqing brought Si Yun to the doorstep of her home without any precautions.
Looking at the huge mansion in front of him, Si Yun was not surprised. After all, Zhu Zhuqing's family was one of the largest noble families in the Xingjun Empire, except for the royal family. It was normal for their home to be so luxurious.
"I live in the Spirit Hall. You can come to the Spirit Hall to find me in the future. Just say you are my friend."
"Okay, I understand. Goodbye." Zhu Zhuqing said reluctantly.
"goodbye."
After saying that, Si Yun also went back.
After watching Si Yun's back completely disappear from her sight, Zhu Zhuqing finally pushed open the door and planned to go back and tidy herself up.
But just as she opened the door, she found a tall black figure in front of her. Looking at this figure, Zhu Zhuqing said tremblingly: "Father..."
"What did you do last night?"
"No, nothing."
"Oh! I didn't do anything. I heard that you spent the entire night with that Spirit Hall Saint. Let me tell you, you're the Second Prince's fiancée! Don't be so ungrateful as to flirt with other men. Otherwise, I'll clean up the mess myself without the royal family having to intervene. Go back and reflect on this! This is immoral!"
After a scolding, the head of the Nether Spirit Cat family left, leaving Zhu Zhuqing alone.
Although she was feeling very depressed, Zhu Zhuqing regained her courage when she thought of the agreement she had made with Si Yun last night. She was a very strong girl, but she had always been suppressed in the past. Now that she had someone supporting her, her strong character had slowly begun to show.
After tidying up at home, Zhu Zhuqing walked towards the Spirit Hall without hesitation. After meeting Si Yun, he couldn't stay at home for a second and just wanted to find his friends as soon as possible. However, Si Yun did not go back to the Spirit Hall directly, but came to an inconspicuous restaurant. This restaurant was something Si Yun saw when he passed by when he came to the Spirit Hall branch.
The location is relatively hidden, so Si Yun plans to use it as a temporary base.
"Guest, are you here to eat? There are plenty of seats."
"Someone has already made a reservation. Where is Feiyan's room?"
"Ms. Feiyan has reserved the Tianzi private room. I'll take you there."
"Well, thank you for your help."
As he spoke, Si Yun was led to an extremely luxurious private room. Walking in, Si Yun saw Zhang Ping sitting inside the room. "Is it safe here?"
"Well, I asked Sun Chuantao to help watch outside so that no one can eavesdrop on our conversation."
"Okay, so how's the investigation going?"
"I've found out that although Dongfang Yan is ostensibly the head of the Wuhun branch hall, he's secretly involved in human trafficking and the Albizia albizzia flower business."
"What is the Albizia Julibrissin?" Although he roughly understood what the Albizia Julibrissin was from the name, Si Yun certainly could not admit that he knew it.
"Well, this Albizia Julibrissin flower... after consuming it, it will make people emotionally agitated and arouse their most primitive desires. At the same time, after consuming it once, they will form a strong dependence. Long-term use of this Albizia Julibrissin flower will rapidly decline in physical fitness and self-control. Once used, they will basically be completely controlled by the other party."
Hearing Zhang Ping's words, Si Yun's face turned cold. This thing was even worse than he had imagined. He didn't expect that Dongfang Yan, this old guy who looked like a decent person, would do such shameful things behind the scenes.
Moreover, it only took Zhang Ping such a short time to find out that the Wuhun Branch Hall was secretly doing this kind of thing, which proved that this guy was even too lazy to demonstrate himself, and this guy might be in collusion with the top leaders of the Xingluo Empire, otherwise, he would not dare to be so bold.
"Sister Ping, how did you find out this information?"
"Oh, that's right. I mobilized my family members. Come out." Zhang Ping clapped her hands.
A middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of the two of them.
Zhang Ping then introduced Si Yun, "This is Zhang Long, my personal bodyguard, a Level 71 Soul Sage. It was thanks to his help that we were able to find out this matter so quickly."
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Zhang Long said respectfully.
"Don't be so formal, Uncle Zhang Long. Thank you for this time."
"You're welcome. Helping the young lady solve her problems is my job."
Having said that, Si Yun now understood that with the help of the Soul Saint, this matter would indeed be much easier to investigate.
"How are you going to deal with that guy, Si Yun?"
"Of course, we must report this guy who tarnishes the reputation of the Spirit Hall truthfully, but we also need solid evidence. Uncle Zhang Long, please help us steal his account book. After the task is completed, I will tell my teacher about this matter and ask him to help clean up this pest."
"Yes, Lord Saint."
After saying that, Zhang Long left.
