Chapter 2492 - 2182: Madam Chu, It Seems You Truly Don’t Remember Me Anymore

Although Chu Yuqin’s realm has been suppressed to the early-stage Emperor Realm, she still possesses the cultivation state of the Emperor Realm.

Yet Lu Chen, a King Realm cultivator, not only sought her out proactively but even dared to stare at her so intently.

She couldn’t believe Lu Chen hadn’t felt the realm gap between them.

Her aura was far stronger than Lu Chen’s, yet he didn’t flee, just kept looking at her.

Was it the fearlessness of a newborn calf facing a tiger, or had his realm improved so quickly that it gave him enough confidence to become arrogant, thinking he could challenge an Emperor Realm expert with his King Realm strength?

Lu Chen didn’t speak; he used his system to identify Chu Yuqin’s identity in this world.

[Name: Chu Yuqin]

[Identity: Heavenly Profound Sacred Land’s Elder Yu Changqin]

[Status: Originally Saint Realm cultivation; after entering the ruins, realm suppressed to early-stage Emperor Realm. She intends to capture the host to see if the host has obtained any ancient inheritance.]

[Cultivation State: Mid-stage Saint Realm (Sealed State)]

[Score: 100]

[Favorability: 20...25...30... (rising continuously)]

Seeing that Chu Yuqin’s favorability towards him was continuously rising, Lu Chen was slightly surprised.

Chu Yuqin should have no previous memories, yet upon meeting again, her favorability towards him increased so quickly. Could she have recalled something?

Seeing Lu Chen just watching her without speaking, Chu Yuqin directly asked, "Is the ancient inheritance in your hands?"

Upon hearing Chu Yuqin’s question, Lu Chen snapped back to reality, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled as he replied, "There is no inheritance in this ruin, only a world-shattering fearsome being that has been sealed."

Chu Yuqin was taken aback by Lu Chen’s words.

No ancient inheritance?

That information was from the Tianji Pavilion, how could it be false?

Is this guy deceiving me?

Chu Yuqin’s expression turned cold instantly, the Emperor Realm aura emanated from her body, pressing a forceful presence onto Lu Chen: "It seems the inheritance is indeed in your hands, otherwise you wouldn’t try to fool me with such lies."

Feeling the pressure from Chu Yuqin, Lu Chen chuckled lightly, then said, "I know you don’t believe me, but this world truly has no ancient inheritance. Even if you kill me, you won’t find the so-called ancient inheritance."

Seeing Lu Chen neither humble nor overbearing, and with unwavering conviction in his eyes, he didn’t seem to be lying.

Chu Yuqin fell into contemplation for a moment. Could it be that what he says is true?

Impossible, that information was personally deduced by the Tianji Pavilion Master, and her deductions have never been wrong. She asserted there was an ancient inheritance in these ancient ruins, so it must be true.

Chu Yuqin came back to her senses and stared intently at Lu Chen, saying, "Do you know this information about the ancient inheritance in these ruins was released by someone skilled in divining the heavenly mechanism?"

Lu Chen replied, "Perhaps she was wrong in her deduction."

Chu Yuqin retorted coldly, "Her deductions have never been wrong."

Lu Chen said, "Just because they have been correct before doesn’t mean they will always be correct."

Chu Yuqin said, "I see you just don’t want to hand over the ancient inheritance. If you’re unwilling to hand it over, don’t blame me for making a move against you."

As she spoke, Chu Yuqin’s aura surged, a longsword appearing in her hand, suggesting she was about to strike at Lu Chen.

However, facing this scenario, Lu Chen remained unmoved, not even making a defensive gesture, standing in midair, watching Chu Yuqin.

Seeing Lu Chen make no reaction, Chu Yuqin didn’t know whether to strike. She began to doubt again; could what Lu Chen said be true?

Chu Yuqin then asked, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?"

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Your realm far surpasses mine; if you wanted to kill me, it should be easy, and you wouldn’t need to waste words with me here."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin slightly furrowed her liumei, realizing she indeed had no intention of killing this person.

Despite her assertive demeanor, seemingly ready to attack, she actually just wanted to scare Lu Chen to see his reaction, and Lu Chen remained so calm.

At this moment, Lu Chen tentatively said, "Madam Chu, it seems you really have forgotten me."

Hearing this unexpected comment from Lu Chen, Chu Yuqin was momentarily dumbfounded.

Madam Chu?

Is this guy claiming me as his aunt? How could he suddenly be so eager to establish kinship?

Chu Yuqin felt bewildered instantly; how could she not know she had such a nephew, and she had no biological sisters, where would a nephew come from?

But for some reason, when Lu Chen called her "Madam Chu," a strange feeling arose deep within her, that familiar feeling growing more pronounced, like she was on the verge of recalling something, but just short, seemingly blocked by some force preventing her from remembering certain things.

Chu Yuqin tried to maintain her composure, speaking with coldness, "What nonsense are you talking about? I am not your aunt."

Chu Yuqin couldn’t help but doubt; perhaps Lu Chen knew he couldn’t beat her, so he was trying to establish a kinship to make her spare him.

Lu Chen appeared heartbroken and said, "Ah, it seems Madam Chu, you’ve truly lost your memory."

Seeing Lu Chen still pretending to be her nephew, Chu Yuqin immediately scolded, "Enough! I am not your aunt, if you try to establish kinship again, I’ll kill you right now."

Sensing Chu Yuqin’s emotional fluctuation, Lu Chen asked with a smile, "Madam Chu’s reaction is so intense, have you remembered something?"

Seeing Lu Chen still looking unafraid, Chu Yuqin was unsure what to do, holding her sword but unable to decide whether or not to strike.

Looking at Lu Chen in front of her, she felt increasingly familiar, even beginning to doubt whether she really lost some memories.

Just then, Chu Yuqin’s mind shook, instantly realizing something; this must be Lu Chen’s spiritual attack, which made her feel so familiar with him.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuqin said icily, "I must admit, your spiritual attack is quite powerful, I didn’t expect to fall for it just upon meeting you."

"Unfortunately, I am a Saint Realm expert, even if my realm is suppressed to Emperor Realm, my divine sense remains strong, your spiritual attack cannot fully affect me."

Saying so, Chu Yuqin thrust her sword towards Lu Chen, as the sword tip drew closer to Lu Chen, yet he still made no defensive move.

Lu Chen showed a hint of sorrow and said, "To die under Madam Chu’s sword is worth it, I only hope that after you remember me, you can offer incense on my grave every year."

Seeing Lu Chen’s sorrowful demeanor, Chu Yuqin felt a sudden heartache, her sword paused in midair, not continuing towards Lu Chen.

Chu Yuqin’s mind went blank for a moment, what was happening?

She found herself unwilling to harm him, even developing a slight protective impulse.

Could it be that some memories were really sealed off?

Chu Yuqin feigned composure, telling Lu Chen, "I’ll say it again, I am not your aunt, I am the Elder Yu Changqin of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, I had no siblings since birth, so stop spouting nonsense."
