I've already been given the title of Douluo, and you want me to be reasonable?

Davis, the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire, slowly stood up, straightened his back, and his icy blue eyes burned with resentment. He suddenly raised his head and looked directly at his father.

“Father, the teamwork of the disciples of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy far exceeded our expectations. Although I lost, I gave it my all.”

Before he could finish speaking, Davis suddenly coughed violently, and the veins on his hands, which were bracing themselves on the ground, bulged from the excessive force.

Dai Mubai's face turned ashen. He looked at his father and said loudly, "Father, throughout history, it has always been the royal family that divorces wives. I never expected that Zhu Zhuqing would openly break the original marriage agreement and collude with others to break my manhood. I beg you, Father, to do justice for me!"

"enough!"

Davidson grabbed the jade pen holder from the desk and smashed it to the ground. Shards splattered across Davis's bandaged face, drawing blood.

"The excuses of losers are more disgusting than the filth of a stinking ditch! Davis, effective immediately, you are stripped of all your privileges in the Eastern Palace and sent to the frontier legion to start as a common soldier."

"Dai Mubai, now that you're crippled, go and guard the royal cemetery. Don't let me see your two useless faces again!"

Just then, the middle-aged man, the strongest member of the Zhu family and the father of Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun, walked over from outside the main hall and saw Dai Mubai and Davis kneeling on the ground.

The middle-aged man bowed to Davidson before him, saying, "This old servant, Zhu Tianqiong, greets Your Majesty."

"Zhu Tianqiong, your Zhu family really has some nerve! You openly chose to annul the engagement and even colluded with others to attack the prince, causing him to be impotent for life. Tell me, how do you explain this?"

Zhu Tianqiong trembled violently, his eyes widening in astonishment, his long white beard shaking violently: "What does Your Majesty mean by this? This old servant is completely unaware of this incident! After Zhu Qing and Zhu Yun left home to participate in the Soul Master Competition, the Zhu family has never contacted them."

"Especially Zhu Zhuqing, who chose to leave home to follow Prince Dai Mubai, and whose fate is still unknown, why should my Zhu family be accused of annulling the engagement?"

"Could it be that what my son said was all made up out of thin air?!"

Zhu Tianqiong staggered forward half a step, her aged fingers almost gripping the armrest of the dragon throne. "Has the engagement between His Highness Dai Mubai and my daughter really come to this?"

Dai Mubai suddenly burst into maniacal laughter, blood splattering onto the blue bricks as he said, "What a fine act of feigning deafness and dumbness! Zhu Tianqiong, when your daughter colluded with the teachers of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy to break my manhood, did she ever think about the dignity of the Star Luo Royal Family?"

Dai Mubai suddenly ripped open his shirt, revealing a blood-soaked bandage wrapped around his waist, and roared, "This wound has not healed yet, and it feels like insects are gnawing at me every night!"

Zhu Tianqiong's face turned ashen. She staggered back two steps, knocking over a bronze incense burner. The bronze bell fell to the ground with a piercing sound, startling the guards outside the hall who hurriedly peered out.

"impossible"

Zhu Tianqiong muttered to herself, then suddenly turned around and grabbed Dai Mubai's collar, saying angrily, "Zhu Qing has always been dutiful since childhood, how could she do such a thing? You must be slandering her!"

"Slander?" Dai Mubai suddenly sneered, his icy blue eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty light. "Zhu Tianqiong, if you don't believe me, you can go to Shrek Academy and ask who did it!"

"Look at his body, this is the masterpiece of your Zhu family!"

Davidson slammed his hand on the armrest of the dragon throne, causing the candlelight in the hall to flicker: "Enough! Zhu Tianqiong, you have three days to hand over Zhu Zhuqing, or else..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhu Tianqiong suddenly knelt down, her white hair falling onto the cold floor tiles: "This old servant begs Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly! If it was truly Zhu Qing's doing, this old servant is willing to personally bring her here to plead guilty! But if there are other hidden circumstances..."

Zhu Tianqiong suddenly looked up, her eyes burning with a chilling determination, and said breathlessly, "The three hundred soul masters of the Zhu family are willing to pledge their lives!" Davidson's eyes surged with killing intent, and his knuckles under his dragon robe clenched white: "Pledge your lives! Zhu Tianqiong, do you take my words as a joke? If you cannot hand over the person in three days, the entire Zhu family will be beheaded and displayed to the public."

As the saying goes, "Nothing is ever truly ruthless in the imperial family." For Davidson, the fact that the imperial family had suffered such a humiliating defeat was a blatant provocation.

If we don't teach them a lesson, who will be loyal to the empire in the future, or even who might plot to usurp the throne?

Zhu Tianqiong sighed helplessly, turned and left the main hall, deciding to arrange for someone to find Zhu Zhuqing, bring her back, and ask her face to face what had happened.

Davidson crushed the teacup in his hand, his eyes bloodshot, and said, "The Heaven Dou Empire...! The Heaven Dou Royal Academy! You are truly disgusting."

…………

Inside the Zhu family compound.

Upon learning that the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire had issued this order, the Zhu family disciples all wore solemn expressions, especially their patriarch, who trembled with anger.

They have always developed peacefully, and even intermarried to enhance the strength of both sides. But now the final outcome is like this. It would be hard for anyone to accept.

"Chief, what should we do next? That old dog Davidson has actually issued an order to arrest our family, and now he wants to kill us."

One of the elders of the Zhu family looked extremely grave.

The others shared the same thought.

The Star Luo Empire ordered them to leave the capital within three days. Isn't that clearly treating them as pawns?
For hundreds of years, the two powerful families have joined forces to achieve their dominance. Now, the Star Luo Empire is taking advantage of their misfortune, which the Zhu family disciples are naturally unwilling to accept.

"Father."

Just then, a beautiful and charming woman, similar to Zhu Zhuqing, walked slowly over.

This person is Zhu Zhuqing's older sister, Zhu Zhuyun.

Zhu Zhuyun is the fiancée of Davis, the eldest prince of the Star Luo Empire, and the older sister of Zhu Zhuqing. She is seven years older than Zhu Zhuqing and has always opposed Zhu Zhuqing joining Shrek Academy with Dai Mubai. She is deeply in love with Davis.

Now, after this incident, Zhu Zhuyun's status in the empire has plummeted. In Davis's eyes, she is nothing but a lazy bum, which has made her completely despair of the Star Luo Empire's royal family.
Zhu Tianqiong gently touched her forehead and said calmly, "Zhu Yun, what do you think of this matter?"

Zhu Zhuyun shook her head. She had no choice. This was an order personally issued by the Emperor of the Star Luo Empire. Who would dare to disobey it?

Moreover, the emperor of the Star Luo Empire also understood the necessity of the Zhu family's existence in this world.

If it weren't for Zhu Zhuqing, things wouldn't have turned out this way, but it's too late to say anything now.

The only chance for the family disciples to survive is to leave the capital and live in a border town. Given their status and strength, they should be able to thrive there. (End of Chapter)
