Chapter 2494 - 2184: What Kind of Person Is He?

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Yuqin coldly said, "Enough, do you really take me for a fool?"

"If you don’t hand over the Ancient Inheritance, I won’t allow you to join the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, and don’t even think about becoming a couple with me."

Although Chu Yuqin had a shred of belief in what Lu Chen said, she didn’t think everything Lu Chen said was true.

Perhaps she and Lu Chen were indeed acquainted in a past life, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they were a couple. It’s very possible this guy is just trying to fool her.

As for the relic containing a supreme danger, that was even more doubtful.

Compared to trusting this unfamiliar Border Desolate Native, Chu Yuqin preferred to believe the predictions of the Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion.

Seeing that Chu Yuqin still didn’t trust him, Lu Chen spread his hands and said, "If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do."

"I’ve told you, even if you kill me now, you won’t get the Ancient Inheritance you want from me."

Seeing Lu Chen’s nonchalance, Chu Yuqin found herself at a loss for how to handle him.

She had just released her Emperor Realm aura to intimidate Lu Chen, yet he remained unafraid.

And she couldn’t bring herself to strike Lu Chen either. She had a feeling that if she attacked him, she would definitely regret it.

Chu Yuqin felt a bit restless, unsure of why she was powerless against a Border Desolate Native.

She was an elder of the Holy Land, how had she become so indecisive?

Chu Yuqin tightened her grip on her sword’s hilt, her knuckles whitening from the force.

Seeing that Chu Yuqin remained silent, watching him with a cold glare, Lu Chen said, "How about this, come back with me first."

"The disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land are also at the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, they’ll surely be pleased to see you, an elder."

"Once you’ve decided how you want to deal with me, come find me."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin thought for a moment. She was a bit confused, mainly due to her lack of intelligence on the situation, unsure about the status of the Ancient Ruins.

Since the disciples of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land were still alive, she could first consult them to understand the situation.

After understanding the situation, she might be able to judge if the Ancient Inheritance was truly in Lu Chen’s possession and whether Lu Chen was lying.

With this thought, Chu Yuqin said, "Very well, I will follow you back and see what tricks you’re playing."

Seeing Chu Yuqin agree, Lu Chen immediately flew towards the Zhen Nan Prince Manor: "Then follow me."

Chu Yuqin said no more, following behind Lu Chen.

In no time, the two returned to the Zhen Nan Prince Manor in the Small World.

Upon arriving in the air over the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, Chu Qingli, who was with her child, sensed Chu Yuqin’s presence.

In the courtyard, Chu Qingli quickly looked up at Chu Yuqin in the sky. Seeing her figure, Chu Qingli’s face instantly turned pale.

He hurriedly said to the maid beside him, "Quick, take Xuan’er back to the room."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Qingli flew into the air, arriving in front of Chu Yuqin, and immediately bowed, saying, "Disciple greets Honored Master."

Seeing that Chu Qingli had broken through to the Heavenly Realm, Chu Yuqin was not particularly surprised. When she entered the Small World, she already sensed that the spiritual evil here was very concentrated.

Training here for one day was equivalent to a hundred days of cultivation at the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

However, she noticed that her disciple appeared somewhat guilty. Her complexion was off, her eyes evasive, her face pale as if hiding something from her.

Being Chu Qingli’s Honored Master, she understood her disciple well.

Whenever Chu Qingli hid something from her, she felt guilty and couldn’t meet her eyes.

At this time, Lu Chen smiled and said to Chu Qingli, "Qingli, I’ve brought your Honored Master back. If there’s anything she wants to know, you tell her. I won’t interrupt."

After speaking, Lu Chen returned to the Zhen Nan Prince Manor.

After Lu Chen left, Chu Qingli nervously said to Chu Yuqin, "Honored Master, let’s go down and talk."

Chu Yuqin responded with a simple "Alright."

Chu Qingli then led Chu Yuqin to her courtyard.

At that moment, Chu Qingli’s child, Lu Xuan, had already been taken back to the room by the maid.

The two sat down at a stone table, and Chu Qingli personally poured a cup of tea for Chu Yuqin, tentatively asking, "Honored Master, did you find the Ancient Inheritance?"

Chu Yuqin replied, "I have just entered this world, and as soon as I arrived, I encountered Lu Chen. I have yet to search for the Ancient Inheritance."

"However, Lu Chen told me that this world holds no so-called Ancient Inheritance, but instead seals a supreme danger."

Hearing this, Chu Qingli was at a loss for words.

She wasn’t even sure if this world contained an Ancient Inheritance.

After entering the Ancient Ruins, just like Wu Junwan and the others, she had explored this world but found nothing.

In her heart, she even suspected whether Lu Chen had already obtained the Ancient Inheritance and the core of this Small World.

By using the core, he could have collected all the treasures here, leaving nothing behind.

Seeing her disciple seemingly daydreaming, Chu Yuqin immediately realized that Chu Qingli must have done something she didn’t want her to know.

Chu Yuqin then asked, "Qingli, when did you pledge allegiance to the Zhen Nan Prince Manor?"

When Chu Yuqin first entered the Border Wilderness, she had heard that Chu Qingli had established the Tianxuan Palace and aligned with the Zhen Nan Prince Manor.

She initially believed that Chu Qingli had allied with the Zhen Nan Prince Manor to wield its power and control the Great Zhou Dynasty, thus finding the entrance to the Ancient Ruins.

According to the predictions of the Tianji Pavilion, only the Emperor of Great Zhou was the key to unlocking the Ancient Ruins.

And since the Zhen Nan Prince Manor had considerable power, it was understandable that Chu Qingli aligned with them at that time.

But now, it seemed to Chu Yuqin that Chu Qingli might have an ulterior motive for siding with the Zhen Nan Prince Manor.

Hearing Chu Yuqin’s question, Chu Qingli felt even more guilty, struggling to control her emotions, and answered, "Honored Master, disciple pledged allegiance to the Zhen Nan Prince Manor before the relic came into existence."

Chu Qingli’s answer was completely pointless.

Of course, Chu Yuqin already knew she allied with the Zhen Nan Prince Manor before the relic’s emergence.

Chu Yuqin proceeded to ask, "Since you’ve stayed at the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, you must know something about Lu Chen, right?"

Chu Qingli hesitated for a moment and said, "I know a bit."

Chu Yuqin asked, "What kind of person is he?"

Chu Qingli thought for a moment before saying, "Arrogant, lecherous."

Chu Qingli initially didn’t want to mention Lu Chen’s fondness for women. If Chu Yuqin knew about it, she’d surely suspect whether Chu Qingli had already lost herself to Lu Chen.

But even if she didn’t say, her Honored Master would eventually learn the truth about Lu Chen.

When the time came, her Honored Master would find out she hadn’t been truthful today and had concealed Lu Chen’s lecherous nature, making her even more suspicious.

Just as Chu Qingli anticipated, when Chu Yuqin heard Chu Qingli say that Lu Chen was lecherous, she immediately scrutinized Chu Qingli with her gaze.
