A week passed, and Xu Ran's name gradually spread throughout the Star Luo Empire.
Because the Emperor's decree had finally been passed down to all parts of the Star Luo Empire, everyone from Star Luo City to the Star Luo Empire knew that a twelve-year-old youth had been conferred the title of Marquis.
Xu Ran was in the limelight, especially in Star Luo City. When Xu Ran accompanied Zhu Zhuqing to go shopping, he often heard people talking about him after meals.
A terrifying genius who was conferred the title of Marquis at the age of twelve was enough to attract the attention of countless people.
Legend had it that the Heavenly Marquis was so talented that the imperial family conferred him such a high title to win him over.
Suddenly, countless people started to guess how talented the Heavenly Marquis was for the imperial family to value him so highly.
At this moment, in a private room in Star Luo City, Davis and Zhu Zhuyun came to send Xu Ran and Zhu Zhuqing off.
Because today was the day that Xu Ran and Zhu Zhuqing decided to leave.
It would take a long time to travel from Star Luo City to Shrek Academy, and Xu Ran naturally didn't want to delay any longer.
"Brother Xu Ran, I think you and Zhuqing should come to Star Luo Academy with us.
With your status as a Marquis, no one in Star Luo Academy dares to provoke you. "Davis tried to persuade him to stay.
"Brother Davis, I appreciate your good intentions.
But I, Xu Ran, am not suited to cultivating in a place that is too comfortable.
Being too comfortable is actually a bad thing for a Soul Master. "Xu Ran patted Davis' shoulder and said with a smile.
Because he had been conferred the title of Marquis, he had been going to the imperial palace a lot these days, and had thus established a friendship with Davis.
After all, as Davis' fiancée, Zhu Zhuyun often had to go to the imperial palace even if she didn't want to.
And Xu Ran also used these opportunities to secretly meet up with Zhu Zhuyun.
The most dangerous place was the safest place.
Davis had never imagined that he would be …
Of course, Xu Ran and Zhu Zhuyun had only broken through the boundary of kissing, and nothing else.
Because there were definitely professional doctors and healing-type soul masters in the imperial palace, if he and Zhu Zhuyun dared to try the forbidden fruit, they might discover that Zhu Zhuyun's body was no longer pure.
At that time, Zhu Zhuyun would be in danger.
This was something he didn't want to see, so no matter how much he couldn't resist, he wouldn't take the risk.
"Xu Ran, you and Zhuqing take care.
Remember to come home often. Our family will miss you. "
Zhu Zhuyun said with a complicated expression. At this moment, she could not help but envy Zhu Qing. She could live a free life with Xu Ran.
"Yes, Sister Zhuyun, don't worry.
It's not like we're never coming back.
Even if Zhuqing and I went to Heaven Dou's Soul Master Academy, we would still have a break every six months.
At that time, we will return to the Zhu Clan. "
"As for you, Sister Zhu Yun, remember that no matter what happens in the future, I will support you from behind.
Also, Brother Dai, I'll support you with all my might in the future. The younger generation of the Star Luo Empire will become even more prosperous, "Xu Ran said.
"Well said. Brother Xu is a prodigy of the Star Luo Empire. With Brother Xu's assistance, I won't have to worry about anything in the future." Davis patted Xu Ran's shoulder happily. He couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Well said, it was really well said.
He had done his best to put in a good word for Xu Ran in front of the royal family. In order to win him over, he had even conferred him the title of Marquis.
Now, it seemed like it was all worth it. This was because when Xu Ran said those words, he could see the sincerity and hot-bloodedness in Xu Ran's eyes.
With his current ability to accurately judge people, Xu Ran was definitely the kind of person who would do what he said.
Xu Ran would become his right-hand man, and a pillar of the Star Luo Empire.
"Alright, let's not talk today. It's time to move."
Xu Ran bowed and brought Zhu Qing downstairs. A carriage had already been prepared on the road downstairs.
Looking at Xu Ran's departing figure, Zhu Zhuyun's eyes revealed a look of reluctance, which Davis clearly noticed.
He could not help but nod to himself. It seemed like Zhu Yun had really established a deep friendship with Xu Ran over the past few days.
Xu Ran was a person with a true temperament. This could be seen from how he disregarded the royal family's prestige and directly wooed Zhu Zhuqing.
When dealing with someone like Xu Ran, if he could tell that you were plotting against him, he would not sincerely seek refuge with you.
Only feelings from the heart could make Xu Ran stay.
This was exactly what Davis wanted to see.
Zhu Zhuyun and Xu Ran were already close. Now that they were familiar with each other and had established a friendship, as long as they did not make things difficult for Xu Ran in the future, wouldn't Xu Ran still be used by him?
Davis looked at the beauty in front of him, and could not help but say, "Zhu Yun, it's been hard on you during this period."
His Zhu Yun was really beautiful. Her figure was simply unparalleled. Even in his father's harem, there was no woman as beautiful as Zhu Yun.
Zhu Yun was simply the best among women. She was as beautiful as a fairy.
"Yes, I feel a little tired today. I'll go home and rest first." Zhu Zhuyun did not want to say anything more to Davis. She found an excuse and left.
After Xu Ran left, she felt a little empty in her heart.
She had already regarded herself as Xu Ran's woman. Naturally, she did not want to stay with Davis.
… …
Outside Star Luo City, a carriage slowly headed in the direction of Soto City.
Zhu Zhuqing was wearing leather clothes. She stretched out her legs and let Xu Ran rest on her thighs.
These days, Xu Ran often went to see Davis and His Majesty the Emperor. Naturally, he was very tired.
"Xu Ran, why don't I continue reading from where I started yesterday?
You can rest and listen at the same time? "Zhu Zhuqing said softly. She felt a little bored sitting in the carriage.
"Sure." Xu Ran yawned. He rested his head on Zhu Zhuqing's round and beautiful thighs and readily agreed.
The last time he came back from Soto City, he was traveling alone and was almost bored to death. Now that he had a beautiful wife to accompany him, he did not feel bored at all. Instead, he was in a different mood.
"Oh, I read the second volume of the Basic Sword Techniques last time. I'll read it from the beginning for you."
Zhu Zhuqing took out an ancient book. It was the 'Basic Sword Technique Hundred Solutions' that Xu Ran had obtained previously.
"Volume two, chapter one.
Piercing Sword Style … "Zhu Zhuqing read word by word. The originally awkward and boring words had a different flavor when they were heard by her pleasant voice.
"How enjoyable …" Xu Ran could not help but think. He finally understood why some people said that the land of warmth and tenderness was a hero's grave.
Every day, he was in the mood to cultivate.
Fortunately, Xu Ran could only become stronger by picking up girls. The land of warmth and tenderness was his paradise.
