With Qian Renxue's promise,a weight in Ning Fengzhi's heart,finally lifted.
As long as there was the Beautiful Silk Tulip,the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda would reappear.
This was the dream Ning Fengzhi had pursued his entire life.
If there weren't only one Beautiful Silk Tulip.
Ning Fengzhi might have had a chance to break through beyond Soul Sage.
Meanwhile,on Lu Yu's side...
He was absorbing the hundred-thousand-year soul ring rewarded by the system.
Zi Ji sensed the fluctuations of soul power,her curious gaze fixed intently on him.
Lu Yu's realm,had already broken through to Soul Douluo.
But Zi Ji could be certain,Lu Yu's true strength,definitely surpassed the Soul Douluo level.
Even she,might not necessarily be a match for Lu Yu.
If this had been before,Zi Ji from the standpoint of a soul beast,might have become wary of Lu Yu.
But now,Lu Yu had become Zi Ji's master.
Zi Ji would no longer have such thoughts in her heart.
The stronger Lu Yu became,the happier Zi Ji felt.
"Brother,I picked up a person."
Just at this moment,Na'er's voice,suddenly came from not far away.
Zi Ji looked toward the sound.
There she saw a white-haired girl,with a down-and-out noblewoman unconscious beside her.
Zi Ji could tell at a glance.
The unconscious person's identity was not simple.
"Na'er,don't pick up people of unknown origin like this."
Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes,reminding her with a serious expression.
Although Na'er had also been picked up by Lu Yu.
That did not stop,Lu Yu from educating Na'er.
"Is she a bad person?"
Na'er looked curious.
She listened to Lu Yu very well.
But Lu Yu usually taught her to respect the elderly and care for the young,and to do good deeds.
So when Na'er saw the unconscious woman,she took the initiative to bring her back.
Now,Lu Yu was telling her not to randomly pick up strangers.
Na'er could only assume,that the other person was bad.
Hearing this,Lu Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
That really was quite a train of thought.
But he did want to see,just who Na'er had brought back.
"Zi Ji,bring her over."
Lu Yu said calmly.
The next moment,Zi Ji instantly brought a woman,before Lu Yu.
"This is...Heaven Dou Princess Xue Ke!"
Lu Yu looked her over for a while.
He quickly recognized her identity.
He was somewhat surprised,how could the dignified princess of a nation have fallen to such a state.
Although Lu Yu had already heard about the turmoil in the Heaven Dou Empire.
But Lu Yu knew,Qian Renxue truly regarded Xue Ke as her younger sister.
Even if Qian Renxue controlled the imperial palace.
Xue Ke should not have been harmed either.
"Master,this human is probably trouble!"
"Should we just keep her out of sight and out of mind."
Zi Ji suggested,that they not get involved in these muddy waters.
And simply leave Xue Ke to fend for herself!
Back when Lu Yu picked up Na'er,Zi Ji had not objected,because the other party's identity was the Silver Dragon King.
One of the Silver Dragon King's personalities,also represented the dignity of the dragon race,and could not be humiliated!
If they left her alone,and she was taken away by other humans.
There was no telling what they might do to Na'er.
Zi Ji did not want something like that to happen.
But Xue Ke had nothing to do with them.
If they took her along,they would definitely be implicated because of her identity.
Although with their strength,they did not need to fear any trouble.
But no one wanted to be dragged into unnecessary trouble.
"Brother,are we going to leave her to die?"
Na'er looked eagerly at Lu Yu.
She was kind-hearted,and did not want to leave Xue Ke to fend for herself.
Of course,the premise was that the other party was not a bad person.
Lu Yu chuckled softly.
Since Na'er wanted to save her,then he would indulge her.
At the same time,he also wanted to know.
How had Xue Ke fallen into such a state?
Could it be,that Spirit Hall wanted to get rid of her.
Lu Yu needed to learn more from Xue Ke.
Seeing that Lu Yu was not afraid of trouble,Zi Ji said no more.
Not long after...
Xue Ke slowly opened her eyes.
"I...where is this?"
Xue Ke found the surroundings unfamiliar.
Her heart immediately became vigilant.
"Tell me,what happened."
Seeing Xue Ke awaken,Lu Yu immediately asked.
"Who are you?"
Xue Ke was like a frightened kitten.
Her wary gaze guarded against Lu Yu.
Her identity was that of a princess.
Under normal circumstances,Xue Ke would because of this identity,enjoy being the center of attention,high above others.
But now,there had been a coup in Heaven Dou.
Xue Ke's identity,would only bring plenty of trouble.
Xue Ke did not dare to easily lower her guard.
If Lu Yu harbored ill intentions toward her.
She could only be at his mercy.
"You don't need to be wary of me."
"If I wanted to harm you,there would have been no need to save you at all."
"I just want to know some things."
"This will help with my actions in the future."
Lu Yu looked serious.
Na'er immediately chimed in.
"That's right."
"Brother isn't a bad person."
Na'er's voice,carried a touch of childlike innocence and assurance.
Xue Ke hesitated for a moment.
In the end,she told them everything.
"I am Xue Ke,princess of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"When I learned that the crown prince brother I respected most,was actually someone from Spirit Hall in disguise,I found it very hard to believe."
"I wanted to go find her and demand an explanation."
"But something happened in the imperial palace!"
"Spirit Hall's soul masters,took control of the entire imperial palace."
"My guards realized something was wrong,and immediately took me away to escape."
"I wasn't able to see her!"
"Under the protection of my guards,I luckily escaped."
"But unexpectedly,I then encountered soul masters from the Star Luo Empire."
"The Star Luo Empire wanted to take me away,I refused,so I fled for my life."
"But those guards of mine,their fate is unknown."
"Perhaps,they have already been completely wiped out."
Xue Ke briefly recounted what had happened.
Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly,and quickly deduced the entire sequence of events.
The Star Luo Empire had gotten involved.
They probably wanted to support Xue Ke,and make her a puppet empress.
After all,Emperor Xue Ye's sons were already all dead.
His only remaining bloodline,was just Xue Ke.
And if the Star Luo Empire wanted to rally some soldiers loyal to the Heaven Dou Empire.
They would have to rely on Xue Ke's identity.
"If you go to Qian Renxue's side."
"She might still treat you as a younger sister,just like before."
Lu Yu pointed out a clear path for Xue Ke.
If Xue Ke did not mind.
She could seek Qian Renxue's protection.
Qian Renxue had been undercover in Heaven Dou for so many years,and her feelings for Xue Ke,at least,were genuine.
In any case,Xue Ke could not stir up any major trouble.
Staying by Qian Renxue's side,and continuing to be an outsider who stayed aloof from worldly affairs,was actually not bad either.
This way,the Star Luo Empire's plan to use Xue Ke,could only be abandoned.
"I won't..."
Xue Ke's attitude was firm,and she flatly refused.
Qian Renxue had attempted to seize the Heaven Dou Empire,and had even deceived her for so many years with their sibling relationship.
No matter what,Xue Ke would not coexist peacefully with her.
She did not believe Qian Renxue would let her go.
Even if Qian Renxue truly was willing to make an exception for her,Xue Ke herself could not get past that hurdle in her heart.
The two sides were enemies.
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Revenge?"
"Rely on the Star Luo Empire,or make use of the Heaven Dou Empire's remaining forces?"
Lu Yu's words,made Xue Ke fall silent.
To be honest,she was very lost about the future.
Revenge was a road of no return.
Xue Ke had not prepared herself for that.
And she did not believe she had the ability either.
Normally,she was just a decorative vase of the imperial family.
She had neither combat strength nor strategic ability.
