Bluestone Cave Mansion.
Tea smoke curled softly.
Zhu Guizhi sat cross-legged, her flowing purple skirt spreading like water over the cushion.
Their exchange had been ongoing for some time.
But Zhu Guizhi was in low spirits.
Her quiet visit to Ning Zhuo was primarily for intelligence gathering. However, after several rounds of conversation, she hadn't gleaned any valuable information from Ning Zhuo's mouth.
Zhu Guizhi had long planned her daughter Zhu Fenxiang's marriage. She didn't want Zhu Fenxiang and Ning Zhuo to end up together.
However, Ning Zhuo had demonstrated his innate talents, and his actions hinted at the powerful forces backing him.
Before coming, Zhu Guizhi had carefully studied Ning Zhuo's small trial at the Xuan Armor Cave and his battle with Gu Qing.
She dared not be careless.
She worried that her actions might anger Ning Zhuo and damage relationships with a super force.
