Zhuqing (MS) gradually calmed down, feeling the warmth of Hanrui's hand she was holding tightly.
"Qing'er, this is not your world. And this is not the man who came to take your life. This man is a doppelganger of the man who was your father, just like your younger self.
I'm here, I won't let that tragedy repeat in this world." Hanrui said in a serious tone.
She nodded obediently and hugged his arm tightly.
Duke Zhu hung his head low, despite his son in law's words giving him a brief comfort.
'I don't know what situation my doppelganger faced but it does feel like something I would do, seeing as the whole clan will be affected, otherwise.' Duke Zhu thought, feeling guilty and sad.
Zhu Wentian's feelings gradually turned from guilt and sorrow to rage as he thought about the Emperor.
"Dai. Hao. Yang."
He muttered with gritted teeth as his rage boiled over.
His Soul Power reacted instinctively and covered his whole body as the surrounding temperature, which was already a degree lower than normal because of Zhuqing(MS) , turned even colder.
"I'm not reconciled with you. If I don't take revenge for this, may the Heavens strike me dead." He swore a bloody oath in the astonished eyes of his daughter and son in law.
Zhuqing(MS) looked at the copy of her Father and felt complicated.
'He dares swear an oath invoking the Heavens? Is it for me? I'm not even his own daughter, just a copy from a different world.
I'm really feeling envious of you little Zhuqing, your father, is better than mine.' she thought.
'Impressive.' Hanrui thought as he nodded in approval.
'If only my father was like this. Hm? Wait, something is not right. My father is clearly the same level as this copy.
So how come I didn't recall him using this much power when he was pursuing me? There were others around at that time as well, a few Soul Sage like me, the others Soul Emperors and Soul Kings.
It wouldn't take that much effort to capture me or kill me, if he went all out. Even though I was fast, and can run circles on all of them, I'm not sure I can even run if father really made a move.
So, did I misunderstand him all this time? Was he trying his best to save me, in his own way?
Alas, it's been so long I no longer recall the event that clearly anymore. If only I could recall his expression, maybe only future Rui-ge could help me understand the answers.
I have no choice but to wait for the current Rui-ge to grow up and make the trip to the past me. Only after he made the trip can I ask him.' She thought, feeling disappointed.
"Zhuqing, I cannot speak on behalf of my doppelganger, but I promise I will never let something like that happen." Duke Zhu said as he gradually came back to his senses.
Zhuqing(MS) looked away not knowing how to react.
Duke Zhu sighed seeing this and turned to Hanrui and felt grateful.
'If it wasn't for my son in law, would I go down the same path?' He thought, feeling fear and gratitude.
"Well, now that things are cleared up. It's time for this." Hanrui said, making Zhu Wentian who was looking at him confused.
Hanrui then opened his hand and summoned his Void Weaver, instantly both Hanrui and Zhuqing(MS) felt the resonance between themselves.
In the astonished eyes of Zhu Wentian Void Weaver flew around Zhuqing(MS) in a particle state, then started attaching itself from her toes to her head.
The claws retreated and two daggers appeared in her hands, which she held in reverse grip.
Hanrui nodded in approval as he looked at her from bottom to top.
Starting from her legs, which are now covered in tight leather black pants.
Her shoes turned white with wings attached at the back.
From her ankle to her thighs whitish silver armour materialized with a Nether Cat and Infinity symbol motif on them.
A white belt with a black Nether Cat as the buckle hugged her on her waist.
For her top Her shirt turned ink black while a whitish silver breast-plate with Infinity motif, materialized on her.
On her shoulders two black Nether Cat heads stare on each side.
On her hand whitish silver finger gloves materialized connecting the bracers with the same colour and Infinity and Nether Cat motif that extend from her wrist to the elbow.
Duke Zhu stared at the scene dumbfounded.
Zhuqing(MS) on the other hand felt surprised and smiled as a rush of excitement hit her as she felt the rush of power surge in her body.
She took a running stance and took off, the next second she circled the room dozens of times but being not accustomed to her young body she couldn't stop herself in time and was about to crash.
