"If you don't tell me, I will throw you out right now."
Zhuzhu finished speaking calmly, then looked at Zhang Xinran's astonished expression and raised the corners of her lips, "Suddenly there are so many guards patrolling the city. They must be looking for you. How much can I get if I hand you over to those guards?" Spiritual stone?"
"elder sister--"
Zhang Xinran's face suddenly changed, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have made conditions with my sister."
"Can we talk now?" Zhuzhu nodded with satisfaction and asked again.
"Let me tell you," Zhang Xinran bit her lips and said slowly, "The City Lord Zhang you are talking about is my father."
"It turns out that you are the city lord's daughter they say is competing for a bride."
Only then did Zhuzhu understand why Qingluan City suddenly went under martial law overnight, and the city lord's daughter suddenly disappeared. Without her, how could the martial arts contest continue.
This matter cannot be publicized, otherwise everyone will know that the city lord's daughter is unwilling to compete in martial arts to recruit a bride, so she runs away from home. This will also make the participating monks who come here dissatisfied and think that they are being played by the Zhang family.
Not only have the Zhang family and City Lord Zhang become the laughing stock of the Eastern Region, but Zhang Xinran's future marriage may also become a problem.
Of course, for Zhuzhu, not marrying is the best choice, but there is nothing wrong with the idea that some people are willing to find a partner to reproduce and support each other throughout their lives.
Otherwise, everyone will think like himself, and there will be no descendants to continue, and the spiritual world of Kyushu will one day become the world of death.
Therefore, Zhuzhu never imposes her ideas on others. On the contrary, she is also happy to see her friends and relatives around her be happy.
"Why did you run away from home?" Zhuzhu asked curiously.
Zhang Xinran looked sad: "I don't want to get married, at least not now, let alone become a Taoist couple with someone I haven't met and don't know much about."
Hearing what she said, Zhuzhu felt some sympathy in her heart. If her father asked her to marry a stranger, she would probably not be willing to do so. Of course, she would not run away from home to protest, but would clearly express her unwillingness.
However, unlike her mother, her father didn't like to impose his views on her and her sister, so Zhuzhu never had such worries.
"Then why don't you tell your father?"
Zhang Xinran shook his head: "It seems that my father is hiding something from me. He is worried every day. He used to respect my choice, but in the past two years he has become very arbitrary. And I don't know if he is responsible for this competition to recruit a bride." He only said that he would wait quietly for me to become a bride, and that he would definitely find me a husband who would love me and care for me, and he even said no to me. There is no chance.
But he never knew that I didn't want to become a Taoist companion with a stranger. I just wanted to prove to him that I could also enter the Nascent Soul and support the Zhang family and Qingluan City together with him. "
In this way, it is not a good thing to have a father who is both powerful and powerful. He may arrange your life according to his own ideas, and you may not even have the right to resist.
Zhuzhu actually had some sympathy for Zhang Xinran.
But this is a family matter after all. She is an outsider and a passerby. It is better for her not to interfere. She can only give Zhang Xinran some suggestions:
"I don't think escaping is the answer. According to you, your father should love you, but maybe the way he expresses it is wrong. Maybe your father has some last resort difficulties. It would be best for you, father and daughter, to sit together and talk openly. talk."
"Sister, what if my father is still stubborn? Can you help me talk to my father together."
Zhang Xinran saw that Zhuzhu was willing to give her advice and did not kick her out immediately. He believed that she was a kind person and couldn't help but become somewhat dependent on her.
"This is just my suggestion. After all, it is your family matter. I can't do anything else."
Zhuzhu refused, joking, she and this girl were not related, so why should they get involved in her family affairs.
It seems that this girl has been too protected by her father since she was a child, and is a little too innocent.
He just said a few words to her, and she thought she was a good person, and wanted to climb up the pole so that she could help her.
Do you think you are so easy to talk to?
Looking at the face reflected in the bronze mirror on the dressing table, Zhuzhu sighed secretly. Even though she had mutated ice spirit roots, she didn't look cold at all because she was neutralized by the wood spirit roots. As cool as a sister.
It can even be said to be a bit harmless to humans and animals.
As long as she smiles again. It's easy to feel friendly.
Screw the intimacy.
Zhuzhu's face turned cold. She was not someone who liked to do good things to others, and she didn't like to be nosy. She shouldn't say those two words today.
"It's getting late, you should leave."
"elder sister--"
Zhang Xinran didn't know what she said wrongly to make Zhuzhu unhappy, but she subconsciously knew how to apologize, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have caused you trouble, so can I still come to you in the future?"
"No need to come, I won't stay in Qingluan City forever."
Just as they were talking, there was movement outside the room, and several people were rushing to the room where they were.
Zhuzhu frowned. Those people were not her companions, nor were they the guards of the city lord's palace. The leader was a male cultivator wearing a rich uniform with a proud face, followed by a group of people who looked like the servants of the male cultivator in front.
