Douluo: Exposing Qian Renxue's identity at the beginning

Chapter 18 Participate in the banquet and discuss with Dai Mubai

In the dim night, Zhou Ran only took Qin Ming with him on the way to the palace.

Through an invitation from Davis, he was taken to a banquet by a maid.

At this time, there were already many people sitting at the banquet, most of whom were around Zhou Ran's age.

Among those people, Zhou Ran saw Zhu Zhuqing, she was sitting alone in a corner, no one cared about her.

Seeing this, he walked towards her slowly, and sat beside Zhu Zhuqing.

"What a coincidence, we meet again." Zhou Ran greeted politely.

When Zhu Zhuqing saw that it was Zhou Hou, he smiled slightly and said, "Why are you here?"

She knows a little about the children of all families in the Star Luo Empire.

She has never met Zhou Ran, that's why she asked this question.

"Of course I want to be here, because this is a welcome party for me."

"A welcome party for you? Could it be that you are...the Ninth Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire?" Zhu Zhuqing covered her mouth in surprise.

"Ah, my identity has been discovered, should I silence you?" Zhou Ran joked.

Zhu Zhuqing knew that Zhou Ran was joking with him, and said with a smile, "Should I call for help now?"

"Hahaha, you look so cold, I didn't expect you to be so humorous." Zhou Ran picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

Hearing Zhou Ran's comment, Zhu Zhuqing turned his head away in embarrassment.

In fact, Gao Leng is not her character design. In the Star Luo Empire, there are not many people who can talk to her, or it can be said that there are none.

In this environment, Zhu Zhuqing developed the habit of being silent.

And there are fewer contacts with people, and fewer expressions are needed, so it looks like a cold face.

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing let go slowly, Zhou Ran had a drink and said, "To be honest, you look good when you smile."

"Thank you."

After Zhu Zhuqing thanked him, the eldest prince Davis just appeared on the stage.

He glanced at the wine table, and his eyes fell on Zhou Ran's side.

Zhou Ran also happened to meet his gaze. He stood up and walked towards Davis: "The eldest prince."

"You are Xue Qinghe's younger brother, right?" Davis looked at Zhou Ran. Apart from his beauty, there was nothing outstanding about him.

"Yes." Zhou Ran said calmly to Davis.

"I have known your brother for several years, and we have a very good relationship. This dinner is to welcome you to the Star Luo Empire for the first time."

Davis looked at the family children around him, and they applauded immediately.

"Thank you, First Prince, for your hospitality." Zhou Ran nodded in return.

"Eat and drink well tonight." Davis patted Zhou Ran on the shoulder, exchanged some pleasantries, and returned to his seat.

Sitting back next to Zhu Zhuqing, Zhou Ran found that the people around him would show a little mocking towards him from time to time.

After he entered the banquet, he was carefully observing the expressions of the people around him.

"It seems that it might be a Hongmen banquet." Zhou Ran didn't take it seriously, the corners of his mouth raised, and he continued to drink.

Not long after, a young man hurried over outside the banquet door, walked towards Davis after entering the door.

Zhou Ran didn't pay much attention, but when he saw Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, he already understood everything.

This person should be Dai Mubai.

"By the way, you left in a hurry at that time, and I forgot to ask your name." Zhou Ran said looking for a topic.

"Zhu Zhuqing." Zhu Zhuqing withdrew his gaze and answered Zhou Ran's question.

"I saw your eyes just now, you seem to like him?"

"Like it? I don't know if it is. Anyway, I have been engaged to him since we were young, but he doesn't seem to have any feelings for me."

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhuqing had a strange look in his eyes.

"Maybe the two of you are not suitable." Zhou Ran took another drink and continued: "Like it, it's not a matter of one person, but two people working together."

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Zhuqing fell into silence for a while, as if he was thinking seriously about Zhou Ran's words.

"You are engaged in a family, and both parties are more or less voluntary. This is the barrier between you."

Seeing Zhou Ran's thorough analysis, Zhu Zhuqing nodded in agreement.

"A lover will eventually get married, but there are some things that cannot be forced.

It's like you love him, but he doesn't love you, which not only brings harm to himself, but also brings trouble to the other party.

Sometimes letting go is also a choice, perhaps for those who like freedom, it is a relief..."

After a while, Davis walked towards Zhou Ran with Dai Mubai.

Davis walked ahead, looked at Zhou Ran and introduced: "This is my younger brother, Dai Mubai, and this is Zhou Ran, the Ninth Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."

The two nodded, as a greeting to each other.

Now Dai Mubai, with the appearance of a stubborn child, took a step forward and said:

"Ninth Prince, this is your first time in the Star Luo Empire, there may be some rules you don't know."

"What rules?" Zhou Ran knew that the main event was coming.

Dai Mubai said directly: "Prince sparring match, literally."

Speaking of this step, Zhou Ran already understood what the other party's intention was.

Originally, he wanted to compete with Dai Mubai, and Zhou Ran could tell that Dai Mubai's strength was about the same as his.

But in terms of age, Zhou Ran is a little older than Dai Mubai.

"This Davis played a good hand of cards. Even if he wins, it's justified. But if he loses, it will really disgrace the royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire."

Fortunately, the opponent didn't know Zhou Ran's strength, otherwise they wouldn't send Dai Mubai to fight.

"I won't make a move. Even if I win, I won't win by force. So, I will send my brother to compete with you." Davis said righteously.

"That's fine, it's getting late, let's start now."

Zhou Ran readily accepted, the other party came to his door, it was hard not to accept it.

Both sides are soul masters, so it is impossible to fight in the banquet, so they came outside.

Seeing this situation, the children of all ethnic groups who were still at the banquet just now moved to the outdoors to watch the battle.

"You say, Dai Mubai can win, or Zhou Ran can win?"

"Does it need to be said? Of course Dai Mubai can win, Dai Mubai is a cultivation genius, in terms of age, he has already crushed Zhou Ran."

"And Dai Mubai's martial spirit is very strong, how can the martial spirit of the imperial family of the Heaven Dou Empire compare with Dai Mubai."

……

But at this moment, Zhou Ran and Dai Mubai looked at each other a few meters apart, neither of them had the intention of making a move first.

"The visitor is a guest, I will let you make the first move." Dai Mubai said arrogantly.

"Then I won't be polite." After finishing speaking, Zhou Ran's eyes flashed, and he suddenly said: "The third soul skill, explosive step!"

boom! ! !
The stone bricks under Zhou Ran's feet shattered and flew, and his figure was like a flash of white light, which was fleeting.

In an instant, it suddenly appeared in front of Dai Mubai.

Dai Mubai: [What! ! ! ]
At this moment Dai Mubai had an expression of astonishment, he never expected Zhou Ran's speed to be so fast.
