Duke Zhu and his older daughter who heard his words looked at the scene in front of them dumbfounded.
The younger girl on the other hand felt confused as she looked at Hanrui and his Martial Soul.
'I clearly felt some kind of connection just now, but why did it disappear, all of a sudden?
No, the connection is still there but it got weaker?' The little girl thought.
Hanrui snickered in his mind as he watched their reactions.
'Well, the audience bought the illusion.
Like seriously, how can I use a soul skill from a Martial Soul that didn't have any Soul Ring attached to it yet?
All i had to do is to use my first Martial Soul's- Soul skill, incognito. And boom, an illusion that is not an illusion is ready for the display.' He thought while laughing like a maniac inside his mind.
Hanrui then turned his attention back to Wang Sheng, who was stabilizing. He withdrew his soul skill and returned his Marital Soul to its original appearance.
Duke Zhu, who was silent all this time, couldn't help but ask. "Elder Li, your Martial Soul..."
Hanrui turned to Duke Zhu again and thinking for a second he transformed his Martial Soul into Blue Silver Grass and made 4 chairs using it, and motioned them to take a seat.
'Sigh, the things I do to win over my future father-in-law.' He thought.
"My Martial Soul is called Void Weaver. It can mimic any Martial Soul, even the God level ones. It does have benefits and weaknesses but I won't go into detail about that right now.
And Duke Zhu, my Martial Soul formed a connection with your younger daughter and you didn't even introduce them yet." Hanrui said.
Duke Zhu and his older daughter's eyes widened in surprise,as they saw the Martial Soul change again and as they heard the details, especially at the last part.
Duke Zhu's face turned grim as he asked Hanrui. "Elder Li, are you joking? My younger daughter hasn't yet reached the age to awaken her Martial Soul. How could your Martial Soul form a connection to her?"
'If you said that about my older daughter I might have believed you, and would have been overjoyed. After all, her situation…Sigh.' Duke Zhu thought.
"As for the introduction, my older daughter here is Zhu Zhulin and the younger one is Zhu Zhuqing." He said.
Hanrui kept a neutral face as he nodded and about to speak when Zhu Zhuqing tugged her father's sleeve, trying to get his attention.
"Father, I felt a strange connection just now, when that person released his Martial Soul." Zhu Zhuqing said, startling the father and daughter at the side.
'Sigh, it's really strange, she didn't even awaken her Martial Soul and she still felt the connection? I feel like something is seriously wrong with this Zhuqing, in a good way of course.
But I really didn't expect it. I thought I got to meet Zhuqing and Zhuyun. To think it was their "third sister" Zhulin instead and not Zhuyun.
If I recall correctly, her fiance died, right? Then, did she become Dai Weisi's concubine? Her fate isn't stated clearly in the original.' Hanrui mused.
…
'It's really true? But if she awakens our family's inheritance Martial Soul —Hell Spirit Cat. She will most likely be betrothed to that useless scum bag, Dai Mubai.
Or does Qing'er doesn't have the Hell Spirit Cat as Martial Soul but a mutation?
I don't understand how a Martial Soul connection can be formed between two people who have never met each other before?
Especially when one of them has yet to awaken the Martial Soul.' Duke Zhu thought as confusion clouded his mind.
'No, wait. Elder Li just said, his Martial Soul can mimic any Martial Soul, maybe even the royal family Martial Soul can be mimicked?'
As this thought crossed his mind, Duke Zhu whipped his head back to Hanrui and looked at him horrified at the implication.
"Ohh, Duke Zhu seems to have caught on." Hanrui said with an amused smile.
"Yes, as you thought, my martial soul can mimic *Any* Martial Soul. Even the one you just thought of." He continued, confirming his doubts.
"Why tell me this? Even if you have a Martial Soul connection to my daughter, there is no need to risk your life on this." Duke Zhu voices his doubts.
"Because I know a little about the future of your two daughters here."
All three looked at him strangely, 'you just met them and you say you know their future? Where do you get the confidence from?' Duke Zhu thought.
Hanrui, seeing their disbelief, chuckled and said.
"Your older daughter will survive the clash but loses her fiance while the younger one has her fiance run away without her shortly after the death of his brother."
Duke Zhu jolted, hearing that. 'It's exactly as I predicted. At least for Zhulin, but to think that scumbag Dai Mubai runs away after being betrothed to my child. What a total disgrace.
But it does make sense, that scum is definitely capable of doing that. And with Zhulin out of the way, Zhuyun will concentrate her malice towards Qing'er.
Especially since there is no Dai Mubai around,she has to bear more pressure than Zhulin ever had.
What a helpless fate, I as a father couldn't do anything in this situation for my daughter's.'
Zhu Zhulin to the side felt her heart shatter. As she believed his words.
'As I thought, Dai Hao can't measure up to Dai weisi, and we will lose. It makes me wonder what happens to me after that.
Will I be in the waiting list to be the plaything of Dai Weisi and Dai Mubai?' she teared up at the thought.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was oblivious to the chat, looked at Hanrui cutely.
'Who is this person? Why does father respect him so much? Why does he not pay attention to me that much and keep chatting with father? I really wanna play with him.' she thought.
Just when the father and daughter were spiraling in negative emotions, Hanrui spoke up.
"I have a solution for you." jolting them to attention.
(A/N: 1.At first I wanted to introduce Zhuyun here, but I thought it would make more sense to use the unused character like Zhulin(i don't think I've ever seen a fanfic where she was used in any way) who wasn't even named in the Original, or her fiancee.
2. The reason I didn't use Martial Soul fusion for the other characters yet, is because Hanrui is only attracted to them, he doesn't "Love" them yet.
Unlike Zhuqing. Who is the main love interest for him. After Kushina and Hinata ofcourse. So yes, Martial Soul fusion will start after Zhuqing gets her chance first.(At least that's the plan.))
