The head of the Zhu family, Zhu Zihao, and the three elders were already in the hall, but they were a little distracted today.
The family meeting was an important event, but they weren't in the mood to pay attention to it now.
The Zhu family didn't lack Soul Emperors or Soul Sages. Only someone like Xu Ran, who had a chance to become a Titled Douluo, could attract their attention.
In today's family meeting, the only person worthy of their attention was Xu Ran.
A twelve-year-old Rank 31 Soul Elder. Such a talent hadn't appeared in the Star Luo Empire for hundreds of years.
Now that such a talent had appeared in their Zhu family, it was as if the heavens were protecting them.
Zhu Zhuqing was also in the hall at this moment. She wore a black dress with golden patterns that outlined her voluptuous figure. Her legs were long and slender, and she stood there like a crane in a flock of chickens.
Countless people in the hall looked at her. They couldn't help but be stunned, but also felt helpless and sighed.
Zhu Zhuqing's talent was the best in the Zhu family. She was even more talented than Zhu Zhuyun.
However, her fiancé was a good-for-nothing and a coward. This had already sealed her fate.
Since ancient times, beautiful women had short lives. If nothing happened, Zhu Zhuqing would die in the next ten years.
Zhu Zhuqing ignored these people's gazes. After so many years, she was already used to the way others looked at her.
She never cared about what others thought of her. She only lived for herself.
She didn't care what others thought of her.
Her beautiful eyes kept looking around, searching for Xu Ran's figure.
After a long while, Zhu Zhuqing was a little disappointed.
Ever since that night, she had never seen Xu Ran again.
Xu Ran seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Now, he wasn't even at the family meeting.
Was Xu Ran disappointed in her?
But with their identities, how could they be together?
So what if she was interested in him?
Did they have the ability to resist the royal family?
She didn't want to implicate Xu Ran, but she still felt a little heartbroken when Xu Ran left.
Did Xu Ran leave just like that?
Would he come back in the future?
She was a little uneasy.
Although she had only met Xu Ran a few times, she couldn't deny that Xu Ran had left a mark in her heart.
"Zhuqing, I'm late." Xu Ran walked into the hall and saw Zhu Zhuqing.
Today, Zhu Zhuqing was clearly very beautiful. She wore a long dress, revealing a small section of her snow-white beautiful legs, causing countless people to be unable to help but steal glances at her.
Today was the day of the Clan Assembly. He had to make the Clan Head, Zhu Zihao, destroy the engagement between Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai.
At that time, he would have the opportunity to make that request.
With his talent, Zhu Zihao might even betroth Zhuqing to him.
"Xu Ran, you're finally here. I thought you wouldn't be coming today."
Zhu Zhuqing raised her head abruptly. When she heard Xu Ran's voice again, she couldn't suppress the joy in her heart.
She looked at Xu Ran's face and heaved a sigh of relief. Clearly, she had been overthinking things.
Xu Ran was such a nice person. How could he be angry with her?
"I've finished washing your clothes." Zhu Zhuqing walked up to Xu Ran and handed the clothes in her arms to him.
"Thank you. Zhuqing is so nice. You're so capable. Whoever marries you in the future will be blessed." Xu Ran took the clothes and smiled.
Zhuqing was so capable. If he were to be together with her in the future, would she become even more capable?
He couldn't help but look forward to it. Zhuqing was the kind of girl who liked to silently contribute behind people's backs.
"Don't talk nonsense."
Zhu Zhuqing's face turned red. She couldn't help but punch Xu Ran. However, it didn't hurt. It looked like a little girl acting spoiled.
This side of Zhu Zhuqing shocked everyone present.
"Who is this person?
Why is he so close to the Second Young Miss? "
"And the Second Young Miss was holding his clothes. What's going on?
Could it be? "
Countless disciples couldn't help but have a bold guess. Clothes?
Could it be that Xu Ran and Zhu Zhuqing had already done that?
Otherwise, why would they need clothes?
Countless people began to imagine what would happen.
At the same time, they were also somewhat dissatisfied. Who was Xu Ran?
They had never heard of this name. How could he be so close to Zhu Zhuqing?
Furthermore, Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have a good impression of him.
"I'm Zhu Ling, a Rank 28 Soul Grandmaster. I'm here to ask for guidance." A youth in black walked up to Xu Ran. His tone was full of disdain.
Even if he couldn't get Zhu Zhuqing, he couldn't allow other men to get her.
A girl like Zhu Zhuqing was devastatingly beautiful and talented. Who was Xu Ran?
Zhu Ling's voice attracted the attention of everyone present. Zhu Zihao and the three elders also cast their gazes over, watching this scene with great interest.
They were also very curious about Xu Ran's strength.
A twelve-year-old Soul Elder's cultivation speed was very fast.
But what about his strength?
Cultivation and strength couldn't be equated.
"You?
I'm afraid it's not enough. "
Xu Ran said indifferently. He was afraid of this and that and didn't dare to pick up girls. But when others chased them, he became jealous.
This kind of person was simply too shameless.
"Hmph, arrogant.
If you lose, stay away from Miss Zhuqing. "Zhu Ling said as he released his Martial Soul, the Netherworld Civet.
Many disciples in the hall couldn't help but nod their heads when they saw his Rank 28 Soul Power undulations.
After all, everyone here was from the younger generation. Zhu Ling was only sixteen years old, so his strength was already considered average.
Zhu Ling released his Martial Soul, but Xu Ran still stood there motionlessly, as if nothing had happened.
This action directly angered Zhu Ling. He saw a trace of contempt and disregard in Xu Ran's eyes. He was instantly infuriated.
A branch family disciple dared to disregard him?
When the surrounding Zhu family disciples saw Xu Ran's actions, they directly laughed out loud.
