Global End, I Awaken the Unique Rank Speedrun Dungeon
Chapter 43, Part 1 ends
Lu Huihuan and Meng Tian stared in astonishment at the two people on the stage.
The former glanced at Zhuang Yumengling, who was engrossed in dancing, and then at Mengtian, whose facial expression was clearly distorted.
I bit my lip, struggling to hold it in!
The two teams passed each other by; the stage belonged to them, and the audience was completely silent, seemingly absorbed in the performance.
"When dancing this dance."
Zhuang Yu said in a voice only Meng Ling could hear, "Imagine you are the center of the world."
Like butterflies fluttering lightly, their leaping dance is the best musical note, composing the most beautiful poem together with the music.
"Without any identity, without any distractions, just enjoy this time."
"We are just ourselves, and no one else."
"...Thank you, Zhuang Yu."
Mengling had never felt this way before. Since she could remember, she had never seen her mother and had always lived in a cage without any relatives by her side.
When she was a child, Lu Huihuan was her only playmate. Other children never wanted to play with her, or rather, it was the best-case scenario if they didn't bully her.
She longed to have family like everyone else and wanted to prove herself and gain her father's approval through hard work.
But it was all in vain.
Every time she returned to that empty house, she felt like a prisoner confined in jail.
They have freedom, yet they are not free.
She regarded her family as a sacred place she needed to protect for the rest of her life, yet she felt as if she shouldn't exist in this world.
When Mengling learned that Mengchuan was going to take her away, she thought she had finally returned to the home she had been longing for.
Unexpectedly, I was met with indifference and disregard.
She met her half-sister, who was very cute. She tried to talk to her, but instead, the other girl poured boiling water on her.
The pain was indescribable; during the worst days, she couldn't even feel her right cheek.
Do you hate it?
she does not know.
Perhaps she never resented Mengtian, or perhaps that resentment was buried in loneliness on her journey to seek recognition.
The word "sister" has never been tainted in her heart.
"Slap slap slap...!"
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience. Meng Ling snapped out of her daze and realized she was nestled in Zhuang Yu's arms.
The music has stopped, and the dance has long since come to an end.
Unbeknownst to her, as she tried to escape the warm embrace, Zhuang Yu pressed down on her waist.
"Wipe away your tears first."
Meng Ling's body tensed up as she leaned against Zhuang Yu's chest, using the shield to wipe away her tears.
However, to onlookers, this scene appeared particularly ambiguous.
Lu Huihuan said to Meng Tian, "It seems they get along very well."
Mengtian clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and glared fiercely at Lu Huihuan.
He took Mengling's hand and walked off the stage, ignoring the different gazes from the Meng family members.
......
Zhuang Yu did not attend the subsequent banquet.
While eating in a corner, the other three sat beside her. Lu Huihuan jokingly asked Mengling how she felt on stage.
The latter blushed and stammered, refusing to speak.
Several elders of the Meng family gathered together. Meng Mo said, "Brother Xuan, Meng Chuan sent his daughter to get close to Zhuang Yu. I think he wants to use a honey trap to take another unique-level sequence."
"What do you want to say?"
"What I mean is, we can't let Mengchuan succeed, otherwise the Meng family will become his personal fiefdom. I happen to have a granddaughter, she's a bit young, but she's very pretty."
Meng Xuan smiled dismissively: "Look at Zhuang Yu, does he look like someone who's interested in beautiful women?"
Mengmo looked at it carefully, unsure: "It looks a bit like it."
"Nonsense!" Meng Xuan exclaimed in exasperation. "If he were a womanizer, why didn't he choose to dance with that disfigured Meng Ling instead of Meng Tian?"
"Oh, this..."
"You still lack critical thinking skills. He came to my Meng family from beginning to end for Meng Ling, not for her as a person, but for her awakening of the unique first-level sequence."
"If he really is a lecher, that's easy to handle. What kind of women doesn't the Meng family have? The Meng family has plenty of ways to control such a shallow person."
Mengmo: "Brother Xuan, you have an idea?"
Meng Xuan stroked his long beard, his eyes half-closed, giving him the air of a wise hermit who had seen through everything.
"Hmph, Meng Chuan wants Zhuang Yu's support and is trying to turn the Meng family into his own private garden. How could I let him succeed?"
After witnessing that person's power, I realized that we had greatly underestimated the strength of the unique-level sequence. Even without his arrival, can you guarantee that Mengling wouldn't become as powerful as him later on?
Will we be able to hold onto the power we have by then?
"If we want the Meng family to remain stable, prosperous, and not controlled by one person, we must send Meng Ling away."
Three question marks appeared above Mengmo's head. She didn't understand, but she was deeply shocked!
He thought to himself, "As expected of Brother Mengxuan, his observation and insight are far superior to mine."
"Brother Xuan, just tell me what to do! I'll always support you!"
"Hmm~" Meng Xuan nodded with satisfaction. "Meng Chuan thought that the day he mastered the two unique levels would be the day the Meng family would stand at the top of China. Little did he know that the higher he stood, the harder he would fall."
"I don't think Zhuang Yu is someone to be trifled with. If Meng Chuan manipulates Meng Ling for the benefit of the family and doesn't let go of Meng Ling, the Meng family may face annihilation!"
Meng Mo was shocked: "He dares?!"
"Why wouldn't he dare?" Meng Xuan said confidently. "This man is arrogant and unruly. Meng Chuan's idea of marrying a rich man is likely to fail. He will end up playing with fire and getting burned, dragging my Meng family down with him."
Meng Mo was filled with doubt and surprise, recalling the terrifying figure of Zhuang Yu alone summoning the Black Spirit Legion to slaughter all the evil spirits in the inner city.
My heart skipped a beat, and I was terrified.
He said with a chill down his spine, "But if we release Meng Ling, won't the Meng family's status plummet?"
"Hmph, do you really think someone who can so easily let go of being disfigured by their own sister and is willing to sacrifice for the family won't take care of the family when they gain power in the future?"
Meng Xuan, shrewd and calculating, said: "Sometimes when fishing, you can't keep pulling; you have to know how to let out a long line in order to catch a big fish."
"What does my brother mean?"
"We'll go talk to Mengchuan and tell him that he absolutely must not let Mengling leave the family, and it would be best if he could also tie Zhuang Yu down."
Before Mengmo could ask a question, he turned his head and said, "But we secretly contacted Zhuang Yu to express our support for him. At the next meeting to decide whether Mengling should go or not, we will initiate a vote among the decision-makers to side with Zhuang Yu."
"In this way, we can gain the favor of that one and only person, damage Mengchuan's prestige, and then..."
Meng Mo immediately understood and continued, "Then, Meng Tan will be able to take the position of family head."
Ultimately, Mengxuan's only goal was for his own lineage to become the head of the family.
Even their ideas are similar to Meng Chuan's; they want to rely on Zhuang Yu's power to completely control the Meng family!
Mengxuan didn't dare to gamble before, but now, he's the God of Gamblers.
Meng Xuan smiled and said, "I can't say more. Go and contact the others. However, you must be careful of Meng Shuifang. From my observation, he is very likely a spy planted among us by Meng Chuan."
