Zhu Qilan was secretly delighted for two reasons.
First, Lu Bei revealed secrets that could cost him his life, signifying absolute trust in her, and second, she heard that Lu Bei met Zhu Jingli in Yue Province. They got along well, and Zhu Jingli even mentioned the Imperial City Secret Realm.
This could only mean great news!
The clan had no objections and praised her for her discerning eye. After waiting for several decades, she had chosen a good match.
Of course, Zhu Qiyou deserved thanks as well. His excellent judgment was unmatched. Without him persuading Lu Bei to toughen up and step forward, things probably wouldn't have worked out.
Zhu Qilan was secretly pleased, but soon, a hint of worry surfaced in her heart.
Lu Bei had challenged three senior elders of the Imperial Sect on Bei Jun Mountain and momentarily stood unrivaled, becoming a renowned figure in Wu Zhou. Anyone with a trace of ambition wanted to use their wives or daughters to tempt him.
