Chapter 400 Dissolving the Engagement
Tang Hao frowned deeply:
"Could it be that he has cultivated some kind of secret technique to conceal his aura?"
"Should we arrest him, interrogate him thoroughly, and seize this secret technique?"
Thinking of this, a look of greed suddenly appeared in Tang Hao's eyes.
But after much deliberation, he ultimately chose to give up.
"That's enough, it's not appropriate for me to show my face right now."
"It would be bad if the Spirit Hall's henchmen discovered my whereabouts."
"That kid's background is probably not simple. If we make a move against him and attract someone's attention, causing a big commotion, it's very likely to draw the attention of the Spirit Hall."
"I don't care, but if the Spirit Hall notices the existence of the mistress and harms her, it will be a loss."
"The mistress needs time to mature, so I must keep a low profile to protect her."
In a flash of thought, Tang Hao reached out and tugged at the tattered black robe and hood covering his head, completely hiding his face in the shadow of the robe and hood.
Then he shifted his gaze slightly, turning it away from Ye Qifeng and towards his son, Tang San:
"Moreover, the mistress doesn't seem to have suffered much damage. It's just some superficial wounds, nothing serious. She can be fully healed with the help of a healing-type Soul Master."
"It seems that kid was very careful with his strength, deliberately holding back. In that case, let's let him go for now."
"It's good to let the mistress remember this lesson first, so that he will be motivated to improve and work hard to cultivate himself."
Thinking of this, Tang Hao frowned again, a hint of dissatisfaction appearing on his face:
"Hmph, back in Nottingham, all he did was go to the blacksmith's shop to forge iron all day long, and he forgot about his cultivation."
"Although blacksmithing helps with the cultivation of the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique, he spends most of his time making various hidden weapons, which delays his cultivation."
"He clearly possesses the innate talent of having twin martial souls with full innate soul power, but at the age of twelve, he has only cultivated to the level twenty-nine Great Soul Master realm. It's truly putting the cart before the horse."
"Little do they know, cultivation is the foundation of a Soul Master. So-called hidden weapons can only serve as an auxiliary means at best, and are not worth mentioning."
Tang Hao sighed inwardly:
"Sigh, little mistress, you should cultivate diligently and strive to grow stronger as soon as possible. I still need you to avenge my mother and me."
After sighing, Tang Hao withdrew his gaze and looked at the stone flowerpot he was holding in his arms.
A wilted blue silver grass was growing on it.
It was "A-Yin" whom he had rescued from a waterfall cave deep in the mountains behind Holy Soul Village all those years ago.
Looking at "A-Yin" in the flowerpot, Tang Hao's eyes were cloudy, but they seemed to be filled with deep love.
He reached out and gently touched the frail branches and leaves of the Blue Silver Grass, his movements very light and soft, and murmured softly in a voice only he could hear:
"Gin!"

the other side.
At the entrance of the Rose Hotel lobby, Dai Mubai, flanked by twin sisters, was completely stunned.
Or rather, he was completely stunned when Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu's battle had just begun.
"A ghostly, ghostly spirit cat? Is she from the Xingluo Zhu family?"
The moment Dai Mubai saw Zhu Zhuqing release her martial soul, he was caught off guard and his face was filled with extreme shock and astonishment. He was completely stunned.
"Hmm, I feel like I've seen her somewhere before."
Dai Mubai frowned in thought, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him, as if he had remembered something, and a hint of surprise crossed his eyes:
"She...she...she is...Zhu Zhuqing?"
Upon realizing this possibility, Dai Mubai immediately stared intently at Zhu Zhuqing's exquisite and beautiful face.
"That's right, looking closely, she looks almost exactly the same as when she was little. No wonder she looked so familiar. It really is her."
After a moment, Dai Mubai finally confirmed that his guess was correct.
This stunningly beautiful girl with an exceptional figure is none other than Zhu Zhuqing, the second young lady of the Xingluo Zhu family.
In fact, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing had only met once.
That was six years ago, when the two were arranged to get engaged.
At that time, Dai Mubai was only nine years old, but because he was a Soul Master, his body developed relatively quickly and he was already a strong young boy.
Zhu Zhuqing was only six years old at the time, and had just awakened her martial soul. She had not yet started cultivating and looked frail. Standing in front of Dai Mubai, she looked like a little bean sprout.
However, Dai Mubai still had some impression of Zhu Zhuqing, after all, Zhu Zhuqing was his nominal fiancée.
Upon discovering that the girl was Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai was even more surprised, finding it somewhat unbelievable.
"I never imagined that little sprout would grow up so big? And so beautiful, so stunning? And those breasts... wow, is this my fiancée?"
The thought that such a beautiful and stunning woman was actually his fiancée filled Dai Mubai with joy, and he nodded in satisfaction.
But when he recalled Zhu Zhuqing's cold attitude towards him just now, his expression suddenly turned awkward again:
"No wonder she was so cold to me. Turns out I flirted with my fiancée and she accidentally caught me doing it. Oh no!"
Dai Mubai's lips twitched, then he continued to convince himself:
"But so what?"
"Zhu Zhuqing is ultimately my fiancée, Dai Mubai, and that status cannot be changed."
"Besides, what's wrong with me, the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, playing around with women? What's the problem? This has always been the way men of the Star Luo royal family are."
"This is the embodiment of power, status, and wealth; it's the right that a powerful man should have."
As Dai Mubai thought about it, he suddenly became confident again.
But the next moment, his expression suddenly froze, becoming confused, and a series of question marks popped into his mind:
"Wait, why is Zhu Zhuqing in Soto City, here? Wasn't she in Xingluo City? Would the Zhu family have let her out? Could she have escaped like me? Or did she come specifically to find me?"
"But why is she with that young gigolo? This is the Rose Hotel! Did she betray me and find another man behind my back?"
Dai Mubai was very familiar with the Rose Hotel; he was a regular there, and a VIP at that. There was a room there specifically reserved for him, well, for picking up girls.
He knew very well that this was a couples' hotel, a place for couples to stay, and also a place for men and women to enjoy themselves and relax.
Thinking of this, Dai Mubai's face immediately turned extremely angry, and his eyes darkened:
"How dare she cheat on me with another man? Has she forgotten who she is?"
"No, I have to find her and get to the bottom of this."
Dai Mubai suddenly raised his head, looked at Zhu Zhuqing, and then walked towards her.
"Hey, Young Master Dai, where are you going?"
Seeing that Dai Mubai had left them behind, the twin sisters shouted in unison, wanting to catch up.
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't know, and stay here and don't move!"
Dai Mubai glanced at them coldly, said a few words, and then ignored them, continuing to walk towards Zhu Zhuqing.
"Okay, okay."
The twin sisters, who were about to follow, trembled at the same time when they saw Dai Mubai's cold gaze. Fearing, they could only agree in unison and stay where they were.
At this moment, the battle in the lobby of the Rose Hotel had ended. Tang San and Xiao Wu had both been defeated by Ye Qifeng and were no longer able to fight.
Dai Mubai naturally saw Tang San and Xiao Wu being beaten, but at that moment his entire attention was focused on Zhu Zhuqing, and he had no mind to care about Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Although he had previously said that he would take care of Tang San and Xiao Wu, that was after they joined Shrek Academy. Now that they haven't joined Shrek Academy and aren't students of the academy, there's naturally no need for him to stand up for them.
Besides, he has more important things to do now.
…………
Ye Qifeng successively beat Xiao Wu and Tang San to the ground.
The look of admiration on Zhu Zhuqing's usually aloof face seemed to grow even stronger, and her dark eyes seemed to sparkle like stars.
Seeing that the two shameless ugly creatures and the dead rabbit opposite her were no longer able to fight, Zhu Zhuqing immediately took a step forward and was about to walk to Ye Qifeng's side.
But their path was blocked by a tall, strong figure that suddenly appeared.
Zhu Zhuqing frowned slightly, and when she looked up, she saw a face that disgusted and nauseated her.
It was Dai Mubai.
Upon seeing that the person blocking her way was Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing's expression instantly turned icy cold, her eyes filled with disdain. She ignored him completely, turned her head, and tried to bypass him to return to Ye Qifeng's side.
However, Dai Mubai reached out and stopped her again:
"Wait a minute, I have a question for you."
Regardless of Zhu Zhuqing's agreement or not, Dai Mubai then asked:
"Are you Zhu Zhuqing?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing paused, then looked coldly at Dai Mubai:
"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?"
What? You don't want to admit it? Do you really have something to hide? But I've already recognized you! Dai Mubai frowned, narrowed his eyes, and said with certainty:
"You don't need to deny it, I've already recognized you."
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at him and sneered:
"Oh, you recognized me? How come you didn't recognize me before?"
Dai Mubai paused, his expression turning awkward, before offering a pretext:
"I just couldn't remember it for a moment."
Zhu Zhuqing looked at him coldly, but her tone seemed even colder:
"So what? Now that you recognize me, what do you want?"
Is this how a fiancée should treat her fiancé? Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's cold words, Dai Mubai felt somewhat displeased.
"Since you admit that you are Zhu Zhuqing, there are some questions I need to clarify."
Dai Mubai took a deep breath, suppressing the anger rising in his heart, but his expression also turned cold.
He pointed at Ye Qifeng standing in the hotel lobby and asked in a cold voice:
"Zhu Zhuqing, why are you here? And why are you with that pretty boy? You'd better give me an explanation."
Zhu Zhuqing chuckled coldly upon hearing this:
"An explanation? Ha, what explanation? Why should I explain it to you? What I do and who I'm with is my freedom, none of your business!"
"Why should I? Because I'm your fiancé!"
Dai Mubai almost roared as he shouted those words.
"fiancé?"
Zhu Zhuqing's expression darkened.
It is true that Dai Mubai is her nominal fiancé, but that was just an engagement arranged by the Zhu and Dai families when she was a child, not her own wish.
After all, she was only six years old at the time and had no idea what a fiancé was or what engagement meant.
If it weren't for this damned marriage, her fate wouldn't have been tied to that disgusting Dai Mubai.
Although all of this was arranged by the family, how dare you, Dai Mubai, mention the word "fiancé" after what you've done?
What a load of bull! You're not good enough for a fiancé!
Zhu Zhuqing had no desire to admit that Dai Mubai was her fiancé.
Hearing him shout those words in public, Zhu Zhuqing was also furious. She said without any politeness:
"Dai Mubai, don't think you're something special. Just because you say so doesn't mean you are. If I don't acknowledge it, you're nothing!"
"What's the use of denying it? It's a marriage agreement between our two families. What can you do about it?"
Dai Mubai, however, didn't take it seriously, coldly retorting before changing the subject with a serious and stern expression, asking:
"Zhu Zhuqing, have you been seeing another man behind my back?"
Before Zhu Zhuqing could speak, he pointed at Ye Qifeng and said through gritted teeth in a hateful voice:
"Is it him?"
Hearing Dai Mubai slander her for having affairs, and even dragging her respected Ye Qifeng into it, Zhu Zhuqing was furious, her voice rising several octaves:
"Dai Mubai, watch your mouth. What do you mean I cheated on you with another man? Stop slandering me. I'm not as filthy as you."
"Also, this is between the two of us, don't involve other people."
Dai Mubai, however, looked unconvinced and sneered:
"What? Zhu Zhuqing, you dared to cheat on me with another man, and I won't even let you know? Now that I've exposed you, you're angry and embarrassed, aren't you? And you're even protecting him?"
Looking at Dai Mubai, who was absolutely certain he had found another man, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes turned icy as she angrily rebuked him:
"Dai Mubai, your thoughts are indeed as filthy as your character. It's one thing to be filthy yourself, but you also have to slander others as filthy as you. You're really something."
"Besides, what right do you have to judge me? What have you done yourself? Those twin sisters, you were the one who brought them in, weren't you?"
As she spoke, Zhu Zhuqing pointed to the pair of brightly dressed twin sisters near the gate:
"Ugh, disgusting."
"I"
Dai Mubai's expression froze instantly.
Zhu Zhuqing, however, had no intention of letting him off the hook and continued to shout and curse:
"Dai Mubai, you're a coward. What can you do besides playing around with women? You traveled all this way just to let yourself have your fun and wallow in self-pity?"
"Someone like you thinks you can get me to die with you in the future? Dream on!"
"And that damn engagement is off. From now on, you are you, and I am me. We have no further connection whatsoever."
