Yue Guan Douluo saw that the girl was a little troubled and asked, "I just saw that you were in a bad mood. Did something happen?"
The main reason was that he had just come back from the palace. When he came back, he met this girl and was almost startled. He thought that the 'secret guards' in the palace had already investigated.
In front of a stranger, is it okay to tell your troubles?
Zhu Zhuqing was thinking in his mind and asked: "Does the uncle still have family here?"
"No more." Yue Guan Douluo said simply. He just came to the Star Luo Empire to complete his mission. There would be no family here.
"It's a good day!" Zhu Zhuqing's face beamed with joy.
"Are you happy that I don't have a family?" Moonlight Douluo raised his eyebrows. Are all girls so crazy now?
"No, I said something wrong!" Zhu Zhuqing hurriedly made amends and said hurriedly, "I mean, please forgive me, you can live alone."
"So what do you want to say?" Yue Guan Douluo admired himself for being so patient, but also blamed the fact that the task was too boring. He came alone and had no one to talk to. This girl came just in time.
Since the uncle was alone without his family, Zhu Zhuqing could confidently and boldly tell all his troubles.
Moonlight Douluo was listening on the sidelines without making a sound, playing the role of a good audience.
After Zhu Zhuqing finished talking about his troubles, Yue Guan Douluo nodded: "It's a good idea, so why don't you leave?"
"I'm afraid..." Zhu Zhuqing said matter-of-factly, "I've rarely even left Star Luo City. Now that I have to leave the Star Luo Empire, I'm afraid..."
"afraid of what?"
"Afraid of not knowing how to go, afraid of getting lost, afraid of encountering unexpected events..."
"If you're so scared, then just stay in the family and don't go out."
"But I don't want to stay here. My future is fixed. I want to control my own destiny."
Yue Guan shook his head: "Very few people make a satisfactory answer when making a decision. If you want to get out of the comfort zone that troubles you and control your own destiny, you have to lose something, even if you lose your life. , as long as it can fulfill your wish, it’s worth it.”
"Uncle, were you like this when you were young?"
"When I was young..." Yue Guan Douluo recalled his childhood experience and nodded, "It was the same."
"Okay, thank you, sir."
Zhu Zhuqing was very happy to leave the place after his confusion was solved. After Yue Guan Douluo checked that there was no one in the training ground, he took off his disguise.
After burning the human skin mask in his hand, Moonlight Douluo hurriedly found a mirror, "Ah, my skin has acne again! If I had known better, I wouldn't have chatted with that stinky girl for so long. The mask was filled with braised beans!"
After returning home, Zhu Zhuqing lay on the bed and looked at the twinkling stars outside through the window. Her eyes were full of perseverance.
Zhu Zhuqing has already thought about his choice, but before that, he has to go to the palace tomorrow, so he should go to bed early.
………
There was nothing to say all night. Ning Rongrong, Qian Renqing who had played so much yesterday, slept soundly. Qian Renxue's morning exercises were over, but Ning Rongrong hadn't gotten up from the bed yet.
Qian Renxue went to their room and took a look, only to hear Ning Rongrong talking in her sleep: "Qingqing, I have no strength anymore, the hammer can't move..."
Were they going to experience the life of a blacksmith again yesterday?
It was better to let them sleep on their own. Qian Renxue took out the letter and wrote down her experiences and deeds when she came to Gengxin City. Finally, she spent a whole page explaining clearly the agreement with the Blacksmiths Association. .
After sending out the copies in duplicate, Qian Renxue stretched and went downstairs to have breakfast.
During this period, I also heard about what happened in Xingluo City.
Gengxin City is the main city of the Star Luo Empire. Although it is not particularly eye-catching among the many main cities, it is at least the main city. The source of news about the imperial city will be slower, but sooner or later it will come.
Unlike the Tiandou Empire, the news of Tang Hao's death has not yet reached Gengxin City.
"I heard that the third prince of the Xingluo royal family ran away! He ran away without knowing it. I heard that he was eaten by a soul beast in the wild!"
"Your news is out of date. The Xingluo royal family was killed secretly by someone in the palace!"
Most of these kinds of news are just news for people to chat and kill time while eating. As for whether it is true or false, they don't care.
If the royal family is dead, can they still bother me thinking about what to eat next?
It's not like the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire dies, that would be a big deal, because issues related to taxes and other issues are really more important than what to eat next.
After eating, she brought some breakfast to the two people who were still sleeping, and Qian Renxue continued to go to the Blacksmith Association.
Arriving at the gate of the Blacksmith Association, Qian Renxue saw from a distance that Xinmei, who was still working as a 'tour guide', was soliciting customers. It seemed that the one gold coin she received last time did not allow her to squander a few days of rest, so she continued the next night. She is such a diligent little girl when she goes to work.
No, I seem to be a little girl myself.
Qian Renxue suddenly realized this, "I am also very light-hearted. I came to inspect the work very early in the morning!"
After giving herself a small compliment, Qian Renxue walked past Xinmei and arrived at the first floor of the Blacksmith Association.
The shop that had previously slandered Ning Rongrong was now closed. Qian Renxue stepped forward and looked at the notice, which basically spelled out what happened yesterday, the punishment for the shop, and repeated warnings not to cheat consumers!
Qian Renxue was very satisfied with this.
At least it proves that the Blacksmith Association is not just a freeloader, it knows how to do things and can do things. This also reassures Qian Renxue that she made the right choice yesterday to support the blacksmith, subsidize the blacksmith, and develop soul guides.
Continue to the second floor. There will be guards guarding the intervals on each floor. Only guests/owners who meet the requirements can enter the next floor.
The second floor is basically the same as yesterday, except that the metal area has rumors of yesterday's blacksmith forging iron, so there are many more people than the finished product area.
Continuing to go up, the third floor is the blacksmith registration and assessment area. Speaking of this, Qian Renxue has always been called the magical blacksmith by Lou Gao and others, but in fact she does not have any certificate, that is, she has never come to the blacksmith for assessment, and she is a blacklist.
However, Lou Gao had given her an identity tag yesterday. Qian Renxue had never looked at it. Now she took it out and looked at it carefully. The word "Master Craftsman" was clearly written on it.
Is this a graded identity brand that has been tested?
I guess so, otherwise Lou Gao wouldn't have told him to pick up this thing yesterday.
Qian Renxue smiled, was this considered cheating by Lou Gao taking advantage of the president's privileges and allowing her to obtain the status of a divine craftsman without taking the exam?
There is nothing to see on the third floor. It is filled with the sound of all kinds of forging. Most people really can't stay there. The noise is enough to make most people's ears unbearable.
Continuing up, the fourth floor is the VIP area, which is also the auction area. It is even more deserted, with only a few staff members walking back and forth without knowing what they are doing.
Qian Renxue came to the fifth floor. It was a lot messier than yesterday. It seemed that no one had started to clean it up all morning. There were also many more people sleeping on the floor in the office area.
"They spent the whole night just cutting the Cold Heart Iron Essence into small portions, and they just fell asleep now."
Sidi suddenly appeared and spoke softly on Qian Renxue's back.
Qian Renxue looked back and saw that Sidi's condition was not very good. Both eyes were almost occupied by dark circles, and the clothes on her body were black and torn.
"Did you fall into the wind and fire box?"
Sidi smiled bitterly and wiped his clothes: "It's not that serious. It's like this for us blacksmiths, not to mention fighting all night. Master asked me to say something, saying that half of the equipment you want has been built, and it will be almost ready tomorrow. It’ll be over.”
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry. You should take a rest."
"My master has no concept of rest since he started forging, and he will not give up until it is completed." Sidi took a sip of water, "I will come out to rest first, and my junior brother will come out later."
Qian Renxue looked at this group of blacksmiths and couldn't help but feel a little admiration in her heart. She firmly believed that this group of people should be worthy of the respect of others!
"Your Highness the Saint, you can just stroll around by yourself, I'll be leaving first."
After saying that, Sidi took another breath and walked into the forging studio.
Qian Renxue was not idle either. She went out and found several staff members to buy a lot of food and delivered it to the fifth floor. She also used Holy Light to help them regain their energy.
After doing this, Qian Renxue returned to the hotel. Seeing that Ning Rongrong and Qian Renqing were still sleeping, she pulled them up directly!
"Don't sleep, it's almost noon!"
Ning Rongrong hugged the quilt and refused to let go, "I'm so tired, I'm so tired, I'm so tired..."
She kept talking about it, and Qian Renqing became impatient with her noise, and was forced to get up and join Qian Renxue's team, and began to force Ning Rongrong to get up.
In the end, Ning Rongrong was defeated by the two of them, and climbed up from the bed with difficulty, her head still a little confused: "What are we getting up for?"
"Get up and go back to sleep."
Ning Rongrong: "???"
………
When entering the palace today, Zhu Zhuqing specially changed into a long black dress, and all the cat-eared hair that she had tied up fell down.
Although she had already made her own plans, when meeting the Emperor, she must show the respect she deserved to avoid being gossiped behind her back.
After cleaning up, my sister Zhu Zhuyun's voice came from outside: "Sister, are you done?"
"Come right away!"
After finishing her makeup, Zhu Zhuqing trotted over and opened the door. Zhu Zhuyun was already waiting at the door.
Zhu Zhuyun was dressed more gracefully and richly. She was also wearing a black dress, but it was dotted with many gems. The light emitted by the gems complemented her temperament.
In comparison, Zhu Zhuqing's black dress looks much plainer.
"You kid, why are you dressed like a commoner?" The mother was a little dissatisfied with Zhu Zhuqing's dress. She took out her own gems and embedded them in her clothes. "You are going to the palace today, so you can't let her chain fall off." When the emperor saw it, he thought my family was not good enough! By the way, remember to take down the gems when you come back."
Zhu Zhuqing did not resist and allowed her mother to hang a completely different style of gem on her body. "Anyway, I will get it for you later..."
This is what Zhu Zhuqing thought and did. After she and her sister got into the carriage, Zhu Zhuqing took off the gems on her body and stuffed them into her pockets.
When Zhu Zhuyun saw this, he also asked: "What's wrong? Don't you like what mother gave you?"
"No, it doesn't feel like it matches me, it's just not suitable."
Zhu Zhuyun didn't say anything more. The two of them were riding in a carriage. Zhu Zhuqing looked at the scenery passing by outside the window and quickly arrived at the palace. Going inside, it would not be accessible to ordinary people.
The two women also got off the car at this time. There were eunuchs waiting in front of them for a long time. When they saw the two women appearing, they continued the relay to the next destination, the palace.
The two women soon came to the emperor's study. From this posture, it seemed that they planned to chat privately, not with the public.
The Zhu family has been a family that has been married to the royal family for generations. Emperor Xingluo is also very familiar with these two daughters of the Zhu family. When he saw them coming in, he pointed to the seat next to him: "Sit down first, I will come to find you." Learn something.”
Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun sat down, and then Emperor Xingluo spoke: "You must also know that my son Dai Mubai ran out of the palace earlier. In addition, the palace is full of crises. There are several princes and princes who are expected to inherit his father's business. The Duke has been assassinated, and now he can finally take a breath and start investigating Dai Mubai's whereabouts."
Zhu Zhuqing leaned forward: "Emperor, I don't know where Prince Mubai is now. I've been very worried in recent days..."
"Don't worry, my son Mubai has been found." Emperor Xingluo handed over the investigation documents to Zhu Zhuqing, "Someone saw Dai Mubai in the imperial city of Tiandou Empire recently. I think he is still alive and just ran away. Went to Tiandou."
Zhu Zhuqing was relieved to hear that Dai Mubai was alive. At least she didn't have to marry anyone else. Although she didn't like this playboy very much, she had known him since she was a child. She would rather marry him than a stranger. .
"Whatever the Emperor has ordered, I will do my best to assist you." Zhu Zhuqing knew that today's summons would not be just to talk about this, and he also gave him a step to say it himself.
Emperor Xingluo smiled and said, "I must miss you and Mu'er very much. How about you go to Tiandou to persuade Mu'er to come back?"
Zhu Zhuqing's mind moved, and with the order from Emperor Xingluo, she had a legitimate reason and didn't have to think about how to leave Xingluo alone.
"Thank you, Emperor, I can." Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
"Okay, it's okay. You pack up and leave tomorrow." Emperor Xingluo waved his hand, indicating that Zhu Zhuqing could leave.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at Zhu Zhuyun, backed away and left.
She understood that the main purpose of entering the palace this time was her sister Zhu Zhuyun.
But Zhu Zhuqing didn't care who the target was at this time. She got what she wanted. She could go to Tiandou alone, at least she could get away from everything here.
Just as she was happily preparing to leave, she accidentally bumped into a figure.
"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to..."
Zhu Zhuqing raised her head to apologize, but she could only see her back. She was a little confused.
"I feel like I've seen this figure before somewhere..."
