Their conversation attracted the attention of many people. After all, it was obvious at a glance that they were glamorous Soul Masters, and all handsome men and beautiful women.
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, then nodded and walked out the door first.
"Are you planning to recruit her?"
Du Gu Yan leaned close to Han Li's ear and asked in a low voice.
"Recruit? No, I don't have that idea for the time being. I'm just having a simple chat, just doing it casually."
Han Li didn't speak out loud, but used his Soul Bone skill to transmit the sound into the minds of several people.
Hearing his words, they all nodded thoughtfully, in line with his consistent style of doing things. They just didn't know what he would talk about with this Second Miss Zhu Family.
The teahouse was not far away, only a few dozen steps, and they had already arrived at the door.
"Two private rooms."
Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing didn't speak, Han Li took the initiative to step forward and said.
"Please come inside, esteemed guests."
The waiter's smile was much more sincere, as the private rooms had a minimum consumption requirement.
The group went up to the second floor. After the others greeted Han Li, they took the initiative to choose a room and entered, leaving the two of them outside.
"Aren't you coming in?"
Han Li took the lead and walked in, randomly choosing a seat before looking at Zhu Zhuqing, who was still outside the door.
Zhu Zhuqing glanced at him, then walked in and sat opposite him without saying a word.
Han Li didn't mind, and waited until the waiter brought everything up before asking him to close the door.
Pouring a cup of tea and handing it over, Han Li picked up a grape and put it in his mouth. After swallowing it, he looked at Zhu Zhuqing.
"Oh right, I forgot to introduce myself. Han Li, Spirit Hall Saint Child."
As he spoke, he took out the token, placed it on the table, and pushed it over.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't drink the tea, nor did she pick up the token. She just stared at it for a while, seemingly confirming its authenticity.
After a while, she suddenly looked up.
"I wonder, Holy Son Your Highness, what is the matter that you have come to me for? It shouldn't be as simple as just recognizing me, right?"
"With your status, you should be clear about my situation, knowing that I currently have no value. Even if you have any ideas, you should go to Davis or Dai Mubai."
Han Li glanced at her and smiled: "Miss Zhuqing is very insightful, and she has a clear understanding of the current situation and her own position."
Hearing his words, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but clench the fist hidden under the table. It was completely different when she said it herself versus when others said it.
"I'm here to sow discord."
Then, she heard Han Li's next sentence, and the clenched hand unconsciously loosened a little, a hint of astonishment flashing across her cold face.
This Spirit Hall Saint Child didn't seem very smart. He just said it in front of her, directly telling her the purpose of his conversation with her.
"Why are you so surprised? I'm just being a little straightforward. Even if I didn't say it, wouldn't you think so?"
Han Li said very casually, seemingly not caring at all that the person opposite him was an enemy in some sense.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll just turn around and leave now?"
After a moment of silence, Zhu Zhuqing spoke.
"The door is right there, no one is stopping you. I'm just here to chat with you, and see if I can stir things up. You yourself said that you're not an important character, I'm too lazy to lie to you."
Han Li pointed to the direction of the door, indicating that she could leave at any time.
It was like this again, always like this. His attitude was no different from her father, her sister, and those who knew her.
No one who knew her would believe in her, care about her, or even bother to give her fake comfort. She just wanted to live, what was wrong with that?
But now, she still had to go and find Dai Mubai, who had abandoned her and fled alone. This was her only hope.
Thinking this, Zhu Zhuqing stood up directly and walked towards the outside.
Just as she closed the door, she saw Han Li stand up as well.
At the same time, she also heard a sentence: "It seems that the Dai Family will have another cat puppet. What a pity."
That one sentence made her stop closing the door.
She reopened the door and walked back in, looking at Han Li, who had already gotten up and was about to leave.
"What do you mean by what you just said?"
Zhu Zhuqing knew very well that when she reopened the door just now, she might have made the wrong decision.
But she chose to trust her intuition one more time.
She knew that Han Li had deliberately said that sentence when she was leaving, but she still returned without hesitation.
She didn't have many choices to begin with, so it wouldn't hurt to be willful once. Could the result be worse than it already was? She vaguely sensed that when Han Li said that sentence, it was similar to when her sister told her about Dai Mubai's recent situation. Although the way they expressed it was different, she hated them both, but the emotions contained within were similar.
To be honest, even after traveling all the way from the Star Luo Empire to the Heaven Dou Empire, she was still a bit confused.
She didn't know if her choice was right or wrong, and she didn't know if she came to find Dai Mubai because she really saw hope, or if it was just a rebellion against constantly striving to cultivate.
Was it so difficult for her to just want to live?
She had once fantasized that she was just a child from an ordinary family, even if she didn't have decent Innate Spirit Power or the so-called Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
At that time, would she be able to feel the affection of her family, instead of struggling to survive as she was now?
"Weren't you already leaving?"
Zhu Zhuqing saw the very detestable smile on Han Li's face, and she always felt that the person opposite her was mocking her.
Forget it, whatever.
Zhu Zhuqing closed the door again, returned to her seat, and stared at Han Li without saying a word.
"As expected, cats are the most curious creatures in the world."
Han Li looked at her, smiled, but Zhu Zhuqing opposite him didn't react at all.
She really didn't care, because she had never been proud of her Netherworld Spirit Cat Martial Soul. On the contrary, she probably hated her Martial Soul more than anyone else.
As for being described as a pet, she didn't care either, because the Dai Family had been doing it for a long time. It was already a fact, so why should she be angry just because someone said it bluntly? Besides, even if she was angry, what could she do to the Spirit Hall Saint Child?
Seeing that she didn't react at all, Han Li sighed in his heart.
This was a character he had once liked, although at that time, he just thought she was very good, and later he felt that she was very miserable.
Of course, there was also the most important point, simply lusting after her body.
But then he thought, she became a god, so what was miserable about that? In short, his mood was very complicated.
Now that they were sitting face to face, he was still a little bit emotional.
Zhu Zhuqing observed the changes in his expression, waiting for his answer. For a moment, the room became quiet.
After a while, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but take the initiative to speak, after all, the purpose of her return was this.
"Now, can you tell me? What did you mean by that sentence just now?"
"Are you sure you want to hear it? I told you, I'm trying to provoke your relationship."
Han Li looked at her with a smile that was not a smile, and asked again to confirm.
"I know. As for whether I believe you or not, I will make my own judgment. That way, your goal will be achieved, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing replied very calmly.
"Do you need me to repeat Dai Mubai's whereabouts and information?" Han Li provoked again as soon as he came up.
"Yes, I need it."
From Han Li's matter, Zhu Zhuqing knew that her information was already outdated when she left Star Luo.
Now that information was being delivered to her door, regardless of whether it was true or false, she decided to listen first.
"Barak Kingdom, Soto City, Shrek Academy, the unlicensed kind, you should already know this."
"The amorous tiger of Soto City, the young master of the hotel, you should have heard of it, but it's just taking care of twin sisters at the hotel for the whole year. Well, with the royal family's style, you shouldn't care too much."
Han Li spoke of these semi-public pieces of information as if nothing was the matter, while observing Zhu Zhuqing's expression, discovering that she was indeed unmoved.
"Then, we get to the Soul Power level you care about the most, level thirty-seven, how about it? Isn't it pretty good?"
Han Li watched Zhu Zhuqing finally react and teased her.
Of course, for Dai Mubai to reach this level at this age could indeed be said to be very impressive, and this was even under the circumstances that he frequented brothels and didn't put in much effort.
The most outrageous thing was that Dai Mubai had advanced five levels in one year between the ages of twelve and thirteen. No one knew if it was because he suddenly ran out of Star Luo and unleashed his nature.
"It's indeed not bad, it seems he hasn't completely given up."
A glimmer of light suddenly appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, called hope.
"Yes, you're right."
Han Li didn't refute her, but instead catered to her, nodding in agreement.
However, his emotional fluctuations didn't escape Zhu Zhuqing's notice. She perceived that Han Li's outward appearance and inner emotions were completely opposite.
Was this his attempt to sow discord? But he was clearly praising Dai Mubai's cultivation speed.
Zhu Zhuqing was very confident in her intuition, and she hadn't been wrong so far.
"Is this your attempt to sow discord? Or have you not started yet?"
Zhu Zhuqing took the initiative to ask, she didn't believe this was all.
"You're very perceptive."
Han Li gave her a meaningful look: "Of course, it hasn't started yet."
Zhu Zhuqing didn't know why, but she suddenly wanted to escape.
But she quickly suppressed her emotions and continued to sit on the chair, waiting for Han Li to speak.
"Very good, I like your curiosity, then you must listen carefully."
The smile on the corner of Han Li's mouth became more obvious.
"In recent years, Spirit Hall has discovered a problem related to Martial Soul Fusion Skills, but the sample size is still too small, so it hasn't been made public. However, after testing, there have been some results."
"Through research, we have found that if a Martial Soul Fusion Skill is fused with one party as the main body, then gradually, as the number of uses increases, and with deeper fusion, the auxiliary party will gradually be dominated by the main party, and various choices will involuntarily lean towards him."
"Even in the end, the auxiliary party will lose their subjective thinking, like a completely different person, completely becoming the puppet of the dominant party."
"Unfortunately, we have only confirmed three sets of samples, and we have never had the opportunity to try the 'Netherworld White Tiger'. Obviously, you won't let us conduct tests, alas."
"Miss Zhu Zhuqing, can you solve my doubts? Is our research right or wrong?"
Han Li first sighed regretfully, and then looked at Zhu Zhuqing with a curious expression, as if discussing related academic issues.
On the opposite side, Zhu Zhuqing was completely frozen in place at this time.
