Douluo: Did you move Danta here?

Chapter 527 Heartbroken
"Pfft."

Seeing her father humiliated, Zhu Zhushui, the second young lady who loved to watch the drama unfold, immediately burst out laughing. It has to be said that being a father like Old Zhu was quite tragic. None of the three little cotton-padded jackets in the family could keep him warm. But he couldn't blame anyone else, since family ties were weak in such a large family.
Originally intending to ease the awkwardness, Zhu Xianye only felt more embarrassed after shifting the topic to his youngest daughter.

But as the head of a clan, Zhu Xuanye's face was no longer that important. His awkward expression lasted only a second before he regained his composure. Now that the storm had passed, he understood from Ning Bei's words that she had a close relationship with his youngest daughter. He now only wanted to bring Ning Bei onto the Zhu family's ship, so that his Star Luo Zhu family would also have a Title Douluo-level figure behind them.

"Zhuqing, why don't you quickly introduce this Your Majesty to your father?"

"Hasn't Brother Ningbei already made it very clear? He is my husband."

As she said this, the kitten's pretty face flushed slightly, but the happiness in her eyes was undeniable. After all, what woman wouldn't like a man who would always stand in front of her in crucial moments and protect her from the wind and rain?

With his identity confirmed by Zhu Zhuqing, Zhu Xianye's mind immediately became active. When he turned to look at Ning Bei again, his eyes were less fearful and more kind, which left Ning Bei stunned. She exclaimed that Old Zhu was a true actor.

"Nephew, is it alright if I address you like this?"

Ning Bei raised an eyebrow, but didn't want to offend Old Zhu for no reason. After all, considering their age, it wasn't like Old Zhu was taking advantage of her. So she smiled and nodded.

"Of course, that's only right."

"Alright, my dear nephew, is your trip back to the Zhu family with my daughter to discuss marriage?"

As the head of a clan, Zhu Xianye was naturally very skilled at taking advantage of others, and he didn't notice at all that Zhu Zhuqing's pretty face darkened behind him.

Before Zhu Xianye could continue speaking, Zhu Zhuqing immediately interrupted him.

"No need. You've already assumed I'm dead outside, so why should I bring Brother Ningbei back to discuss the marriage? I'm only back this time to see my second sister and take some of the things my mother left me."

"Forehead"

Zhu Xianye turned around mechanically, his eyes filled with disbelief. He had thought that his youngest daughter had brought her powerful husband back to the family to regain her prestige and return to the Zhu family. He thought that he could then take Zhu Zhuqing back with him, which would not only give him a daughter with some talent, but also a son-in-law at the level of a Title Douluo. Now it seemed that all of this had vanished.

"Zhu Qing, as your father."

"Alright, you don't need to say anything more. I know exactly what you're up to, and I can tell you clearly that I will not stay in the Zhu family."

"I've already met my sister. I'll leave after I collect my mother's belongings."

His daughter's resolute decision put Zhu Xianye, as her father, in a very awkward position. However, with Ning Bei, the formidable figure, present, he couldn't lash out at her in the name of a father. He could only sigh helplessly and try to reason with her, even giving Zhu Zhushui meaningful glances, hoping she would put in a good word for him.

Zhu Zhushui quickly whistled and turned her head toward the pool, completely ignoring her overly pragmatic father. As for whether he would make things difficult for her later, she wasn't too afraid. Anyway, if she was unhappy in the Zhu family, she would go to Qibao City to stay with her sister and brother-in-law. With Ning Bei around, her sister was a hundred times more comfortable in the Tiandou Empire than in the Zhu family.
Zhu Zhuqing gave a light snort, then walked past Zhu Xianye toward her former residence. Ning Bei and Zhu Zhushui quickly followed.

Upon seeing this, Zhu Xianye's expression changed, and he hurriedly tried to call out to his youngest daughter. If she were to go back to her old residence, the already fragile father-daughter relationship would likely become even more unsustainable.

"Zhuqing, you've been away from home for a long time. I'll have someone clean your room first. You can go to the living room and sit for a while."

The urgent calls went unanswered by her youngest daughter. Zhu Zhuqing continued walking in the familiar direction. Although Zhu Xuanye was anxious, he dared not stop her with Ningbei beside his children. He could only watch helplessly as Zhu Zhuqing arrived at the small courtyard where she had lived in the family home. After all, she had lived there for 12 years, and every brick and tile held a special place in her heart. However, this feeling vanished the moment she pushed open the courtyard gate.

In what was originally his own courtyard, a disciple of the Zhu family was training his soul skills.

Zhu Zhuqing recognized this person as well. He was a family disciple who had just awakened his martial soul and possessed innate level 8 soul power before she left. It seemed that after acknowledging that she would not return after dying outside, her father had already given away her residence to someone else.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhuqing's last bit of warmth towards the Zhu family slowly dissipated without a trace. Feeling lost and angry, she turned her head and looked at Zhu Xianye with icy eyes.

The Zhu family patriarch could only stand there, sweating profusely, forcing a forced smile as he faced the three pairs of eyes.

"Zhuqing, your father didn't know you were coming back. I'll arrange a better place for you to stay right away."

"No need. Have you dealt with all the things my mother left me?"

The cold words startled Zhu Xianye, and then he quietly shook his head under Ning Bei's gaze.

"No, they're probably all piled up in the storage room. You can..."

Before Zhu Xianye could finish speaking, Zhu Zhuqing immediately headed towards the Zhu family's storage room, with Ning Bei and Zhu Zhushui following closely behind. Only Zhu Xianye was left standing outside the courtyard that used to belong to Zhu Zhuqing, sighing softly. He knew that he could no longer use family ties to keep Zhu Zhuqing, this potential gem, and more bluntly, he could no longer climb up Ning Bei's big tree.

Upon reaching the dusty storage room, Zhu Zhuqing immediately began to look around. However, she had been gone for too long, making it difficult to find any belongings left to her by her mother amidst the mountain of clutter.

But this was definitely no challenge for Ning Bei. With a flick of her index finger, Wang Wang appeared from inside the Dan Tower.

The sudden appearance of a figure startled Zhu Zhushui, who almost released her martial spirit. However, having seen Wangwang many times, Zhu Zhushui didn't sense anything amiss. She simply looked at Ning Bei with a puzzled expression. Wangwang, who had just appeared, was equally puzzled. She had been sleeping peacefully inside the Pill Tower when she was suddenly dragged out to "work."

"Brother Bei, is something the matter?"

Ning Bei smirked. "A three-headed red demon mastiff is still a dog, isn't it? What can find things better than a dog?"

"Wangwang, Zhuqing's things are missing. They're in these piles right here. Can you help me look for them?"

Zhu Zhushui, who was still confused, was full of questions. "We can't find it, but you can find it by just pulling someone else?"
But Wangwang didn't ask any more questions. He just came to Zhu Zhuqing's side, sniffed her, and then pointed to the pile of junk in the west.

"there!"

"Okay, I'll add a pork rib set meal for you tonight."

With Wangwang's satisfied expression, Ningbei once again put it into the Dan Tower, a scene that shocked Zhu Zhushui for a hundred years.
