Chapter 400 - Secret Love; Knowing the Truth 9 (2/2)
News about Sacred Land Zhongyuan spread through the entire Dafeng and stirred up a lot of passions. Almost the entire continent was discussing about Sacred Land Zhongyuan and their recruitment exclusively.
One way or another, Sacred Land Zhongyuan had risen to the equivalent of the Top 9 Sects. Not only did most individuals not look down on them not being one of the Top 9 Sect, quite contrarily, the resourcefulness of the Cheng’s made others eager to join them at the first possible time!
As the news were all of the place, Zhu Bo looked helplessly as his haggard son inside the Green Mountain Manor and couldn’t find the right words to say.
Ever since he had been back from Willows, now Sacred Land Zhongyuan, Zhu Xiangyu had not been himself. What Zhu Bo hadn’t expected was that his son’s symptoms seemed to be getting more severe by the day, now he was downright dispirited, languid, and lifeless.
He was his father after all, naturally he had an idea of what was the cause of this. Surely, part of his intention of sending his son to represent him with the Cheng’s was hoping his son and Maiden Cheng would hit it off.
He hadn’t expected that when his son was finally interested, Maiden Cheng would have fallen for the genius numerologist of Temple of Divine Plans. Now that they were already betrothed, he wouldn’t even have the opportunity to compete with him.
“Yu-er, do keep in mind that there are many other types of emotions in addition to romance. Dad hopes that you will be able to walk out of this one day.”
“Ugh…”
Zhu Bo’s words made Zhu Xiangyu frowned a little, as though he wasn’t comprehending his words.
“Yu-er, what’s yours is yours, otherwise you can’t force it. As this was the case, why not think perhaps you have yet to meet the right girl for you?”
“Dad, let’s not talk about this right now!” Zhu Xiangyu didn’t feel like talking, and most definitely not about this subject that has been bothering him.
“Aye….”
Looking at his son, Zho Bo refused to give up and he continued to say, “Yu-er, do you still remember Maiden Gong from Palace of Immortal Beasts?”
“Palace of Immortal Beasts?” Zhu Xiangyu hadn’t heard about that name for quite a while. He couldn’t help but think about his trip to Palace of Immortal Beasts three years ago and that very pretty young woman. He nodded and said, “I remember. Come to think about we, we are sort of cousins, right?”
