Douluo Continent: If the system had arrived ten thousand years earlier, I would have crushed Tang Sa

Chapter 226 Zhu Zhuyun's Departure!

Faced with her sister's "questioning," Zhu Zhuqing replied without hesitation, "I... I was afraid that if I didn't show up, the Star Luo Royal Family would take action against the Zhu family."

Zhu Zhuyun sighed and said, "But if you show up, one of us will die. Sister, to be honest, I don't want to die, do you understand? It's a pity you didn't think things through back then. Even if the royal family punishes the Zhu family, for the sake of the bigger picture, for the future stability of the Star Luo Empire, Father and Mother will not die no matter what, because the Star Luo Empire needs the Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"

Zhu Zhuqing nodded and said, "I don't want to die either."

Xiao Tian felt it was about time, so he said, "So what is your decision? If you're willing, after the competition, you can come with us to my sect. The royal family won't dare to do anything to you or the Zhu family."

Zhu Zhuqing finally understood the reason behind her sister's predicament and couldn't help but blame herself for being so stupid before.

Zhu Zhuqing tugged at Zhu Zhuyun's arm and shook it, "Sister."

Zhu Zhuyun smiled with relief: "Since you've all said that, what can I do? Let whoever wants the Empress's position sit there! Because of this unfair competition system, my Zhu family has lost countless people throughout history."

Xiao Tian nodded and said, "Alright, let's leave now."

Zhu Zhuqing took Zhu Zhuyun's hand and said, "Sister, let's go."

Zhu Zhuyun was slightly taken aback: "Huh? Didn't you say you'd leave after the competition?" Zhu Zhuyun's mind went blank for a moment.

Xiao Tian: "What? You're still thinking of using your Spirit Fusion Technique with Davis tomorrow and then fighting me?"

Zhu Zhuyun looked slightly embarrassed: "Ahem, I didn't react for a moment."

"I wonder if the Star Luo Royal Team will be very worried when I disappear tomorrow and don't participate in the competition," Zhu Zhuyun sighed.

It wasn't that she felt any attachment to Davis, but rather that she had known the other team members for so long, and leaving so quietly seemed somewhat unfair to all their hard work over the years.

However, thinking about Xiao Tian and the others' strength, Zhu Zhuyun felt relieved. One more of her wouldn't make a difference, and one less of her wouldn't make a difference either. With Xiao Tian there, the Star Luo Royal Team was destined to lose to the Heaven Dou Royal Team.

Zhu Zhuyun took out a piece of paper, wrote a letter, and placed it on the table before leaving the room with Xiao Tian.

The next day, noon.

dong dong dong-

"Zhu Yun! Zhu Yun! What time is it? Why aren't you out yet?!" Davis's voice came from outside the door, with some other team members standing beside him.

They had agreed to discuss tactics against the Heavenly Dou Royal Team today, but it was almost noon and she still hadn't shown up.

boom!

The next moment, Davis kicked the door open with brute force. The room was empty except for the open window.

"Huh, the vice-captain isn't in her room? Where did she go?"

"Look, there seems to be a note on this table."

Davis picked it up and saw it read: "I'm sorry everyone, I won't be participating in tomorrow's match. I'm preparing to leave Spirit City. Davis, I won't be returning to the Star Luo Empire. Don't worry about me. Now that Zhu Qing isn't with Dai Mubai, there's no need for me to be with you either. The throne can be left for you two to compete for! Heh, I'm not playing along!"

Davis's expression grew increasingly grim, and a surge of soul power completely obliterated the note! "Hmph! Bastard!"

With a loud bang, the table shattered completely under Davis's forceful slam.

Table: I would really thank you.

Seeing Davis so angry, his teammates didn't dare to say a word and just stood quietly to the side.

After a long silence, one of the team members finally whispered, "Team captain, what do we do now?"

Davis scoffed, "What can we do? That bitch is definitely with the Heavenly Dou Royal Team right now. It was so late yesterday, the city gates were already closed, she couldn't have left the city!"

Team member: Couldn't the vice-captain have left the city early this morning?

But no one dared to say it.

Because they also believed that their captain might have really gone to the Heavenly Dou Royal Team. Otherwise, he was fine when they parted ways yesterday, so why did he disappear after just one night?

Moreover, they all keenly noticed that the room's windows were wide open, while the door had been locked when they came in, meaning that their vice-captain had left through the window.

The height from here is quite high. If Zhu Zhuyun were alone, jumping out of the window would have caused quite a commotion, but it's almost noon now and they haven't noticed.

In other words, you have helpers!

This helper is very likely Xiao Tian!

Because they knew that Xiao Tian used an external soul bone in yesterday's match against the Blazing Fire team, and this external soul bone just happened to allow him to fly!

Moreover, excluding external soul bones, Xiao Tian can also fly on a sword!

Furthermore, Xiao Tian also has a Title Douluo on his side. It would be extremely easy for a Title Douluo to secretly take someone away from outside!

Based on the above three points, Xiao Tian is undoubtedly the most suspicious!

Just as everyone was preparing to set off, one of the team members said timidly, "Um, we don't seem to know which hotel the Heavenly Dou Royal Team is staying at. How are we supposed to find it?"

"Yeah, we can't exactly shout it out loud outside, can we? There are plenty of hotels of all sizes in Wuhun City."

Now that everyone had calmed down a bit, someone suggested, "How about we go ask the Spirit Hall?"

Davis glared at him coldly: "What kind of terrible idea is this? Don't you know the relationship between the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall?"

The player took a step back, intimidated by Davis's cold, piercing gaze, and immediately fell silent.

Davis is also having a headache. He can't spread the news of Zhu Zhuyun's departure in the city. Otherwise, if others find out that his vice captain deserted his post and ran away with someone else, where will he, the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, put his face?

However, if we don't find Zhu Zhuyun now, she will be exposed as soon as the competition starts tomorrow.

Hey!

Davis scratched his head in frustration, his long golden hair becoming a mess.

Finally, Davis gave the order: "Let's go, we'll split up and search every hotel in the city. Go directly to their management and find out which teams are staying at each hotel! Understand?"

Team members: "Yes!"
