Chapter Seventy-Three: Marquis, Marquis of Destiny

In the hall of the Zhu family, the head of the family, Zhu Hao, and Zhu Zhuyun gathered around a table of meals, waiting for the arrival of Xu Ran and Zhu Zhuqing.

When Xu Ran directly hugged Zhu Zhuqing to the hall, Zhu Hao and Zhu Zhuyun both cast their eyes on the two of them. Zhu Zhuqing closed his eyes and lowered his head, not daring to look at his father and sister.

She was a little embarrassed before, but when she thought that if her limping state was seen by her father and sister, she was afraid that it would be even more embarrassing at that time, so she let Xu Ran hold her.

But that's just a cover-up. Regarding the matter of Xu Ran and Zhu Zhuqing, how could Zhu Hao, a person who came over, not see it. At this moment, looking at Zhu Qing's somewhat weak appearance, the muscles on Zhu Hao's face trembled slightly. As a great soul master, Zhuqing has received a lot of resources since he was a child, and his physical fitness is definitely not bad. But even so, Takekiyo still became so weak.

This can only show one problem, Xu Ran has the style of his youth.

"Uncle, Sister Zhuyun, I've kept you waiting." Xu Ran put Zhu Zhuqing on the chair leaning next to him, and apologized to Zhu Hao and Zhu Zhuyun.

"It's okay, but I didn't know it disturbed the two of you." Zhu Hao said with a smile, he wished that Zhu Zhuqing and Xu Ran would cook raw rice earlier, and now this state was what he liked to see.

After all, Xu Ran is only a side disciple of the Zhu family, if there is nothing to tie Xu Ran to his side, then Xu Ran will only have to cry when he runs away to other forces.

He had heard Zhuyun say that Xu Ran's soul ring had become two purple and one black, and his soul ring was only two yellow and one purple before. He was full of doubts about how this mutation came about, but he wouldn't ask. Xu Ran's talent is very strong, so he naturally won't interfere in Xu Ran's cultivation. Because I am afraid that this will cause Xu Ran's disgust.

What he wants is for Xu Ran to become very strong, the stronger the better.

The stronger Xu Ran became, the stronger the Zhu family became, and the stronger the Star Luo Empire became.

Zhu Zhuqing sat on the chair, heard his father's laughter, and couldn't help but arrogantly kick Xu Ran under the table a few times. If she had known that it would hurt so much after doing it, that she wouldn't even be able to walk properly, then she would never have made that decision.

Xu Ran felt the little feet of Zhu Zhuqing under the table who kept gently throwing towards him, and couldn't help but laugh. But at the dinner table, he didn't like to laugh at Zhu Zhuqing, so he had to look at Zhu Hao and talk about business.

"Uncle, what is the matter with you coming to me this time?"

"Oh. When I was in court this morning, Your Majesty specifically mentioned you in the court. You are now the genius of our Star Luo Empire, the child of destiny. The future is limitless. Zhu said happily, with a smile on his face.

Originally, he was worried that the Dai family would be very troublesome after they knew that Xu Ran and Zhu Zhuqing were together. At that time, no matter how he messed with the Dai family, he had to protect Xu Ran. But I didn't expect Xu Ran to be so smart himself.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Xu Ran threw himself at Davis and used Davis to help him maneuver in front of the royal family, this move was indeed a second.

Davis is the eldest prince, the future emperor, and his opinion, even His Majesty, needs to be heard. What's more, Xu Ran is willing to assist Davis, which is worth thinking about the pros and cons of the royal family.

If Xu Ran is not surprised, his future achievements will even have a chance to surpass the youngest Titled Douluo Haotian Douluo in the history of the Megatron Continent. What role such a genius has for the Star Luo Empire, which is now lacking in resources for high-level soul masters, is something that the royal family must consider.

So after some analysis, it is impossible for the royal family to make a move against Xu Ran. Because the benefits brought by Xu Ran are too high, in comparison, the negative impact of Xu Ran and Zhu Zhuqing coming together is not worth mentioning.

Even, at that time, the royal family could still create the appearance that Xu Ran and Zhu Zhuqing were truly in love with each other, and the royal family generously agreed, so that the world could see the benevolence and righteousness of the royal family.

"Uncle, what do you mean by that?" Xu Ran raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Hao.

"Your Majesty has no objection to you being with Zhuqing, but you need to pay attention to one thing in Xingluo City, don't let the people in the city gossip."

"In addition," Zhu Hao glanced at Xu Ran deeply, and said, "Your Majesty and the ministers have decided to grant you the title of Marquis and the title of Mandate of Heaven." From then on, you are the Marquis of Heaven of the Star Luo Empire, theoretically only under me, the duke, and the other six marquis of the empire with real power. ”

"What?" Xu Ran, Zhu Zhuyun, and Zhu Zhuqing all looked at Zhu Hao in surprise, a little dumbfounded. The duke is a man, and the title of marquis is only for the duke.

"Don't make a fuss, Your Majesty only gave Xu Ran the title and did not give him a substantive fief or official position. It's just that the name of this marquis sounds loud. Zhu Hao said with a smile, this is the royal family's means to win people's hearts. But even if Xu Ran just has the title of a knighthood, the benefits it brings him are extremely many.

"That's also very strong, in the history of the Douluo Continent, there has never been a marquis as young as Xu Ran. Not even such a young count had ever appeared. Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but say, his eyes looked at Xu Ran, full of complexity.

If Xu Ran's marquis title was announced to the world in a few days, Xu Ran's reputation would be known to the world. What a great honor it is to be a marquis at the age of twelve!

Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but blush with excitement, and when His Majesty's will was conveyed, Xu Ran would be famous all over the world.

"Yes, this time the royal family has paid sincerity in order to tie Xu Ran to the empire." Zhu said proudly. However, Xu Ran's talent is also worthy of the Dai family. With two purple and one black soul ring configuration, the combat power of the Soul Venerable defeating the Soul King in seconds, Xu Ran's talent is indeed too shocking.

Xu Ran took a token from Zhu Hao's hand, which was engraved with a big Xu character, and a fierce leopard-shaped soul beast was carved on the back of the token. This beast-shaped token is the symbol of the marquis's title.

"Destiny?" Xu Ran played with the token in his hand, and then put it into his storage soul guide.

He was not surprised by the title, which had both advantages and disadvantages for him. Once the emperor announces to the world, he will definitely be a hot figure in the entire continent. The young marquis, this is a big gimmick, enough to become the talk of countless people after dinner.

But this may also attract the attention of some big forces in advance.

But the benefits seem to be even more.

The marquis is second only to the duke, and he has this identity, which means that he is second only to Zhu Hao in the Star Luo Empire, so I am afraid it is easier to compare the friendly exchanges with Qian Renxue in this capacity.
