Lu Yuan flicked the small whip aside, devoid of emotion, and picked up the paper he was holding. He shook it and said, "Just to be safe, stop investigating Heaven Dou Prince. Of course... if Davis insists on investigating, then withdraw your trusted allies first."

Zhu Zhuyun, being a smart person, understood the implied meaning in Lu Yuan's words and hesitantly asked, "Is the situation dangerous?"

Without directly answering her question, Lu Yuan smiled and asked, "Have you heard the story of the civet cat changing into a prince?"

"I have never heard of it," Zhu Zhuyun truthfully replied.

Zhu Zhuyun pondered over the literal meaning and suddenly realized a horrifying fact. The prince mentioned could be either Star Luo Prince or Heaven Dou Prince, they are both human.

To exchange a civet cat for the prince, the sizes of the two must be approximately the same, or else the switch would be immediately discovered. It is possible to switch the crown prince using the secret methods of spirit masters. The probability of success is very high. What if the prince is replaced by a newborn baby?

Zhu Zhuyun felt a chill run down her spine as she made this horrifying realization.

"It seems you understand," Lu Yuan said after tidying up the scattered papers and putting them back into the file bag. He glanced at Zhu Zhuyun, who seemed to have gained some enlightenment, and decided to end the topic on his own.

Some things don't need to be explicitly stated, but some things must be made clear. It was like when he formally confessed his love to Zhu Zhuqing that night and was rejected; sometimes, a clear rejection is also an act of nobility. Unfortunately, the other party lacks discernment and has a rigid way of thinking. On this point, Zhu Zhuyun won his heart.

Zhu Zhuyun, unaware of the praise she had received, was filled with fear.

What has happened to this world? Why has it suddenly become unrecognizable? Are there so many troublemakers? Sitting in front of her is a monster who controls her life, and Heaven Dou Prince is actually an imposter. Being able to replace the crown prince of a country, one can imagine how powerful the backing behind this imposter must be.

Recalling Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou , who regarded Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, as his teacher, the words "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School" instantly became a high-risk label in Zhu Zhuyun's heart. The sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School truly deserves this reputation.

According to the investigation, one of the two leaders of the younger generation of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Family joined the Royal Combat Team. As for Clear Sky Sect, they are hidden from the world.

Zhu Zhuyun subconsciously glanced at Lu Yuan sitting there, thinking that she had guessed the faction Lu Yuan belonged to. However, Lu Yuan interrupted her thoughts by clapping his hands lightly.

"Alright. I'm here because I have a gift for you." A vortex-shaped space slowly appeared behind Lu Yuan, seemingly swallowing something. After a while, three figures were thrown out and fell to the ground. Lu Yuan calmly stretched out his hand, pointing to these three individuals and introduced them respectively:

"Duke Long Meng Shu, Spirit Doulou."

"The Snake Woman, Chao Tianxing, the Spirit Emperor."

"And another bonus, Meng Yiran."

Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but question whether this could be considered a gift. Even she, who had experienced many trials, had never witnessed such a scene. Moreover, she noticed the presence of a seriously injured and dying person.

Looking at the dying Duke Long Meng Shu, Zhu Zhuyun couldn't see this old man as a Spirit Douluo at all. A Titled Douluo without a tail is most likely one of the core pillars of a force.

Spirt Douluo are people at the top of the spirit master food chain, a group that most ordinary spirit masters can only dream of seeing.

While their number is not small, with Star Luo and Heaven Duo combined, they can produce at least seventy Spirit Douluo. However, most of them are part of the royal family's background and won't be easily utilized. The remaining few hold significant positions. If a Titled Douluo is the anchor of an empire, then Spirit Douluo are the indispensable backbone of an empire. This is evident from the power of her fiancé, Davis.

Relying on strength and talent, it's not easy to recruit noble spirit masters who can obtain titles and status. To put it bluntly, if there's a Titled Douluo willing to visit the Star Luo Empire, Zhu Zhuyun has every reason to doubt whether the royal family of the Star Luo Empire would leave the city to receive them.

Heaven Dou Empire has Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, and Star Luo Empire has suffered countless times at his hands. One person can truly become an army; it's not just an empty boast. Such powerhouses have made the Star Luo Empire envious.

However, fortunately, the Star Luo Empire possesses the martial spirit fusion technique—the Nether White Tiger—as a powerful trump card. Otherwise, who knows which Titled Douluo would be unable to resist the temptation and directly carry out an assassination operation.

Zhu Zhuyun's thoughts naturally cannot be known by the snake woman, Chao Tianxiang. Moreover, Chao Tianxiang had no interest in dealing with this charming and enchanting woman.

Looking at the unconscious Meng Shu and her granddaughter, Meng Yiran, who appeared weak and powerless, Chao Tianxiang looked downcast and sighed, "The old lady had no foresight and offended Your Excellency. The old lady is willing to die as an apology. However, can you spare the young granddaughter and the old man who is seriously injured and dying? On their behalf, the old lady promises that from now on, we will keep our distance from wherever you stand!"

After Chao Tianxiang finished speaking, the room fell silent for a while. Then, a young voice broke the silence.

"Release?... Release is impossible," Lu Yuan stretched his tone and spoke slowly.

The casualness in his words further confirmed Zhu Zhuyun's suspicions. She had also heard of the name "Unrivaled Dragon Snake," but in recent years, their reputation had declined significantly.

Although there were rumors circulating that Duke Long Meng Shu was preparing to break through and become a Spirit Douluo, they were not just rumors after all. Today, it was manifested in such a remarkable way before her eyes. Lu Yuan was able to kill a seriously injured Spirit Douluo and even capture him alive. No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like the work of a Title Douluo.

As everyone knows, Spirit Hallhas the largest number of Titled Douluo, more than the combined number of Star Luo and Heaven Dou empires.

Zhu Zhuyun lowered her head and patiently awaited the Lord's command, not daring to delve further into her thoughts. However, she did not expect to hear a condition that terrified her.

Taking out a pen and habitually twirling it between his fingers, Lu Yuan calmly stated, "I will give you a chance to willingly pledge your loyalty and become her subordinate."
