Chapter 165 strange custom of the Zhu family
"Hahaha! Good, very good. That's what a real man is supposed to be like, not letting others take their falls; I assume you're also prepared to accept the outcome of your action." The bald General laughed wantonly after listening to Leon's words, he placed both hands on his waist and laughed into the sky.
He turned and faced Zhu Ming after a few seconds of laughter.
"Zhu Ming, since you still need to oversee the situation of the battle here, why don't I go report this incident on your behalf? I'll return quickly with the emperor's verdict!" He stated before rising into the air.
"Hold on,"
However, just before he could vanish into the distance, Zhu Ming's voice echoed. The General stopped and looked back at her with questioning eyes.
But Zhu Ming didn't say anything to him after stopping him from leaving, she turned to Leon instead.
"I remember saying that I would look for you later, now isn't a bad time, " Zhu Ming muttered.
Her words stunned Leon, Bai Quing, and the rest, Zhu Ming did say that she would look for Leon when they had just arrived at the Gulu plain.
The bald General was puzzled and drifted to the ground; he wanted to know what was going on and why Zhu Ming had said she would look for Leon.
"You saved Zhu Quiner and her team from invaders, correct?" Zhu Ming asked Leon.
"Yes, I did." Leon nodded while answering.
Immediately after hearing this, the bald General clicked his tongue and snickered while calling Leon a lucky bastard under his breath.
Everyone ignored him and focused on the white-armoured Zhu Ming and Leon.
"Were you aware of her identity?" Zhu Ming asked and followed it with a pause before waving her hand, indicating that Leon had forgotten her question just now. If he had known of Zhu Quiner's identity, he would definitely have recognized her.
"Many do not know this, but the Zhu family has a custom that runs from generations hundreds of years ago; it's a strong custom that everyone has to follow regardless of their opinion." Zhu Ming began to tell Leon about the custom of her family.
By the time she was done, everyone present except the bald General had their jaws dropping to the ground; they were in shock.@@@@
"That would be a foolish thing to do, foxy." The General looked past Quin Xuxu and gazed right into Fengxu's white eyes.
Her tails and fox ears stood straight like spears, and her body jolted from being stared at by the man; her beast senses were screaming danger. Fengxu gritted her teeth and still stubbornly held onto Leon's robe but she lowered her gaze.
Leon looked at her, he could feel her hand trembling on his clothes. A small smile formed on his face, he raised one of his hands and gently patted Fengxu on the head.

"It's alright, nothing is going to happen." He whispered to her before looking forward.
All eyes were now on him, they were waiting for his response to what Zhu Ming had said. Would he accept their reward for saving a genius of their family, or would he refuse and get killed instead?
'I don't even need to think too much about this, that Zhu Quiner wasn't too bad, to be honest. Although she's still a huge gap from her big sister, she'll get prettier after maturing. Entering the Zhu family might also help with my current case of killing an ally, the Zhu family would definitely not let anything happen to their in-law.' Leon did a quick thought inwardly before asking Zhu Ming if there were any rules about how he should pick or if there were restrictions.
"The only rule is that you must choose from the same generation as the genius you saved," Zhu Ming said casually.
Leon nodded but didn't say anything right away. Instead, he asked himself how many people he knew from the Zhu family except the two sisters. Both were worlds apart that it was difficult to believe that they were sisters; maybe Zhu Ming mistook the aunty and niece relationship for sisters or was that a general way of speaking?
Seeing that Leon was lost in thought, Quin Xuxu secretly gritted her teeth and moved closer to him.
Since she had no way of preventing it, she would help him all the way; after all, she also understood the benefits of Leon marrying someone from the Zhu family.
Quin Xuxu reached Leon's side and whispered into his ears.
"Zhu Ming is the same generation as her sister who you saved; she's only so powerful because she's a genius herself. It's embarrassing to say, but I'm actually older than her."
She fussed her words with true Shi so others would not be able to listen, not even the two level 9.
Leon's eyes flashed after hearing this, he immediately turned to Zhu Ming and declared.
"I choose you!"
