Lu Mingfei starts from Douluo

Chapter 147 Zhu Zhuqing's Awakening

Zhu Zhuqing and Tang San walked along the forest path behind the academy. It was early winter, and the golden and red maple leaves filled every corner of their vision, creating a picturesque scene.

But they knew that somewhere unseen, ripe fruit had already been quietly buried in the shadows of the pits under the maple leaves, and the smell of decay and fermentation permeated the darkness.

Tang San waited for Zhu Zhuqing at the academy gate and calmly invited her to talk to him alone.

Ning Rongrong wanted to follow Zhu Zhuqing because she was afraid that Zhu Zhuqing would be bullied, but Zhu Zhuqing refused. They really needed to talk. It was obviously more effective to communicate with Tang San, the son of Haotian Douluo, than to waste words and get entangled with Dai Mubai.

After all, Dai Mubai had staked his life entirely on Tang San and the Clear Sky Sect behind him, making him Tang San's most loyal lackey.

Zhu Zhuqing also wanted to take this opportunity to clarify some things thoroughly in order to avoid unnecessary entanglements and conflicts later.

"I've heard about what happened today. Mu Bai went too far, but you should also know that he cares about you too much. He lost control of his emotions when he saw you getting close to Lu Mingfei." Tang San still wanted to defend Dai Mu Bai and try to get the two of them back together.

After all, Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing are crucial to his future use of the Star Luo Empire, and he cannot afford to lose them.

"I've actually met him only a handful of times since I was a child. He ran away from Xingluo when he was eleven and came to Soto City where he met you. You've spent much more time with him than I have, so you should know him very well, right?" Zhu Zhuqing asked without looking up.

Tang San was a little speechless. Of course he knew who Dai Mubai was, and what he said today was entirely from the heart.

"Mu Bai is actually very sentimental, but he's still a bit immature. You should give him a chance. After all, your family trials can't do without him. Don't you want to prove your strength to Davis and your sister?"

Tang San tried to persuade her indirectly, knowing that Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing were both deeply fixated on this matter, which concerned their lives. He didn't believe that Zhu Zhuqing could remain unmoved.

Zhu Zhuqing shook her head and slowly said, "I will prove it in my own way. What Dai Mubai needs has never been me, but you and the Haotian Sect behind you."

"And what about you? Do you really think Lu Mingfei can save you?" Tang San frowned. He hadn't expected Zhu Zhuqing to change her mind so completely, refusing to forgive Dai Mubai even in death. What kind of bewitching potion did Lu Mingfei give her?

"I've never thought about such a thing." Zhu Zhuqing met Tang San's unfriendly gaze. "If one has to compromise and endure in order to survive, what's the point of such a life?"

"I don't actually resent Dai Mubai. He only chose to escape to survive, and that's his freedom," Zhu Zhuqing said, looking directly into Tang San's cold eyes. "What I truly can't accept is that he's already gained his freedom, yet now he wants to interfere with it for my sake. How is his behavior any different from Davis and Zhu Zhuyun's?"

The atmosphere fell silent. Tang San stood there, looking at Zhu Zhuqing with a complicated expression, feeling inexplicably irritated.

"So, this is your choice?" Tang San asked quietly. He had always thought highly of her, but Zhu Zhuqing's closeness to his enemy disappointed him greatly.

"Please make it clear to Dai Mubai that if he wants to deprive me of my freedom, then he is my enemy." Zhu Zhuqing said firmly, then turned and left without looking back.

The wildly popular novel "Lu Mingfei Starts from Douluo Continent," a heartfelt work by author Daydreamer, is available on Cola Novels.

She has already seen the sun, so how could she be willing to return to darkness?

Tang San watched Zhu Zhuqing's departing figure, clenching his fists tightly before helplessly relaxing them.

The Shrek Seven Devils already had a rift because of the incident at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and now Zhu Zhuqing has directly broken ties with Dai Mubai, so the team is destined to fall apart.

"Xiao San, how is it?" On the top of the back mountain, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun were surrounding Tang San.

Their original plan was to wait until Tang San and Zhu Zhuqing reached the top of the mountain and finished their conversation, then Dai Mubai would immediately appear, kneel down, and apologize to Zhu Zhuqing.

But to everyone's surprise, only Tang San came up; Zhu Zhuqing was nowhere to be seen.

Tang San didn't speak, but shook his head.

"It's over. It seems that Zhu Qing has really been seduced by Lu Mingfei. My poor Boss Dai." Ma Hongjun sighed. He knew all too well how ruthless a woman who had completely changed her heart could be.

Oscar gave Ma Hongjun a hard slap on the back of the head, really bringing up the very thing he shouldn't have said.

Dai Mubai's face turned ashen. He had genuinely thought he had misunderstood in the morning, but now it seemed he had been caught red-handed. Because of this, he was consumed by jealousy. For Lu Mingfei, she was willing to risk her life!

"I know, mistress." Dai Mubai clenched his fist. Although he was furious about Zhu Zhuqing's betrayal, it was ultimately a minor matter. Making Tang San and Haotian Douluo satisfied was the most important thing.

Of course, he also secretly vowed that even if Zhu Zhuqing changed her mind, he would never accept this woman again. He wanted to see if Lu Mingfei could save her at that time.

That very night, Tang San left Shrek Academy and headed to Duke Dugu Bo's mansion. The bankruptcy of the Netherworld White Tiger made him even more eager to improve his own strength.

Tang Hao had already confirmed that Dugu Bo had been staying at his residence and had not gone out for the past few days, so Tang San decided to visit him immediately tonight.

Dugu Bo was currently meditating and cultivating in a quiet room. Thanks to the help of the dragon scales, his poison was under control, and his cultivation level had been raised to level ninety-three.

However, he suddenly sensed a great sense of danger and immediately opened his eyes. At the same time, an unfamiliar fluctuation of soul power suddenly spread outside his door.

"This junior, Tang San, from Shrek Academy, has come to pay my respects to Senior Poison Douluo," Tang San's deep voice rang out from outside the door.

Dugu Bo's pupils contracted. The first thing he thought of was that Tang Hao had come looking for him, since he could get close to his door without being discovered.

He immediately felt uneasy, but so much time had passed since the last incident, there was no reason to seek revenge now.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo opened the door, only to find an unfamiliar face.

"Tang San?"

Dugu Bo immediately frowned. At the title level, they mainly rely on the aura of soul power to identify a person. The soul power of this Tang San in front of them was indeed similar to that of the previous one, but how could a person change so much in just one year?

I'm currently reading Chapter 146 of the novel "Cola Novel": Zhu Zhuqing's Awakening, completely absorbed in it.
