People in Douluo, the mastermind behind the scenes

For a moment, Zhu Ningyu's heart skipped a beat. Why would Yin Hongchen tell her such a lie that could be easily exposed?

and many more!

Zhu Ningyu seemed to have thought of something.

Why did she have a preconceived notion that this was an internal gathering of the Hongchen family rather than a meeting between partners?
It is true that Xu He is the son-in-law of the Hongchen family, but as a prince, there must be a lot of industries under the name of the prince's mansion. Wouldn't it be abrupt for him to appear here as a partner of the Hongchen family?
Something is wrong, this is very wrong. Familiar figures such as Jing Hongchen, Xiao Hongchen, Meng Hongchen, and Lin Yue did not appear. Why did she have a preconceived notion that this was an internal gathering of the Hongchen family?

Zhu Ningyu didn't have time to think about it. She immediately clasped her fists towards everyone and said apologetically, "Sister Yin, and everyone else, I'm really sorry. I was organizing the files and forgot the time. I accidentally came late."

"Hey, cousin Bai Yu, everyone has just arrived and we are all family, there is no need to be so polite, just show your presence."

Yin Hongchen immediately showed her high emotional intelligence. Don't ask, the only answer is that she had just arrived.

At the pull of Yin Hongchen, Zhu Ningyu came to the reserved seat and sat down. The next moment, a group of young ladies in cool clothes came in with a variety of dishes, and the banquet officially began.

Looking at the scene of a group of soul masters in gorgeous clothes toasting each other, the expression on Zhu Ningyu's face froze instantly. Since it was a social gathering, shouldn't they get to know each other before dining according to the normal procedure?

Otherwise... what's the point of holding this promotion banquet? Even if it's a family banquet within the Hongchen family, there's no need to eat here for nothing.

Although she was anxious, Zhu Ningyu could only pretend to be calm as she ate the food in front of her and drank the fruit wine poured by Yin Hongchen. According to the identity of "Bai Yu", she had never attended any social gatherings among top nobles, and it would be too abrupt to speak rashly.

At this moment, Zhu Ningyu felt dizzy and her vision began to blur. Out of her body's instinct, she really wanted to stand up and sing loudly.

But under the strong psychological suggestion, Zhu Ningyu forced herself to suppress her body's instincts, lying on the table, pretending to be drunk.

She wanted to see what Yin Hongchen was up to. In order to achieve her goal, she even added something to the drink.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Yin Hongchen put her arms around Zhu Ningyu's neck and said softly, "Cousin Baiyu, you came from a humble background, but now you have reached a height that many spirit masters only dream of. Do you have any regrets about what you have not accomplished?"

"I want to be the... emperor of this world."

Zhu Ningyu burped, tilted his head, and looked at Yin Hongchen in front of him with interest.

Yin Hongchen: “…”

How can this not be done according to the rules? If you want to be an emperor right away, can you have some realistic ideals?

"Cousin Bai Yu, be careful with your words! Although His Majesty is broad-minded, it is best not to discuss such topics in public. It is easy for some villains to take advantage of it."

Yin Hongchen quickly made a "hush" gesture, and cold sweat instantly flowed down his forehead. I don't know if it was an act or... a real feeling.

"Why are you so nervous?" Zhu Ningyu pulled off her hair tie and shook her hair like a mad woman. "Even if I'm impeached and His Majesty wants to kill my entire clan, it won't be your head. What are you afraid of?"

As he spoke, Zhu Ningyu suddenly grabbed Yin Hongchen's hands, and the two began to pull the saw, and the abstract degree was directly raised to the maximum. Seeing this scene, Xu Tianran in the secret room couldn't help but roll his eyes at Juzi, and said unhappily: "My beloved, do you really think... this shameful woman is a hidden strong man? Strong men always pay attention to face, let alone a female strong man."

As they were talking, something strange happened outside again. Zhu Ningyu was shaking her hair wildly and pulling Yin Hongchen to do a head-shaking dance.

Poor Yin Hongchen... After today, she will probably be too ashamed to see anyone.

Orange couldn't bear it anymore.

Having lived two lives, she thought she had been through a lot and had seen all kinds of big scenes, but this was the first time she had seen such an extremely wild head-shaking dance.

For a moment, Juzi was at a loss as to what to do. Things had developed to this point and it was not going to end well. The Hongchen family was in danger along with the country, and it would be unacceptable not to give Yin Hongchen an explanation.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next? Should we torture him further?"

Juzi knew...from the moment she failed to catch Bai Yu's flaws, things were out of her control.

"A high-level Soul Saint is not worthy of our in-depth examination. Isn't Bai Yu talented? Isn't she strategic? Humph, let her serve as the city lord in the northern border area, and send her cousin Bai Yiyi over as well."

After saying that, Xu Tianran didn't even look at "Bai Yu". He waved his sleeves, and left Mingyue Hotel through the secret door with his guards.

Juzi had no choice but to order her subordinates to clean up the mess she had made.

……

"My Lord, what on earth are you doing? Ten years! It took me a full ten years to develop the Sun Moon Empire branch to where it is today, and you destroyed all my efforts over the years in just one night? I need an explanation!"

In the secret room of Jiuyang Pawnshop, Hong Ling unexpectedly asked Zhu Ningyu for an explanation. After all... she had set up a base in Mingdu for her master. Once Zhu Ningyu became the final winner, she would definitely be given a deity based on her merits.

But now... she is going to follow her master into exile in the northern border area. All the hidden men in Mingdu City have nothing to do with her anymore. It seems like she is being abandoned after the rabbit dies.

"What are you yelling at?"

Zhu Ningyu said unhappily, "When we get to the north, you'll have a chance to show off your abilities. Instead of being an undercover agent, don't you want to build an army and become a general on the front battlefield?"

"A general on the front battlefield? My Lord, are you kidding me? Our identities are questionable. The Sun-Moon Empire officials cannot give us much power. It is uncertain whether we can form a 1,000-man spirit master corps by secretly recruiting soldiers alone."

Hong Ling stared at the topographic map on the table. She knew... Zhu Ningyu never told lies, and what he said must have a deep meaning.

But the problem is... the three northern provinces of the Sun-Moon Empire are extremely poor, and the number of soul masters is too scarce. How to solve the problem of manpower?
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something and subconsciously shifted her gaze to the location of the original Sea God Island.

Only then did she understand Zhu Ningyu's intention. It turned out that... the so-called soldiers were not soul masters, but sea soul beasts on the sea, sea soul beasts that were not loyal to the Sea God Tang San! (End of this chapter)
