Chapter 2496 - 2186: Are You Out of Your Mind?!

Hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, Chu Qingli hesitated for a moment.

To be honest, she was a bit afraid Chu Yuqin would suddenly make a move and get rid of her and Lu Chen’s child.

But after thinking it over, Chu Qingli felt her Honored Master shouldn’t be that kind of person.

If she really wanted to act, she could’ve already done it and flattened the Zhen Nan Prince Manor directly.

Since she said she wanted to assess Lu Chen, she probably just wanted to see what kind of talent Lu Chen’s child had.

Immediately, Chu Qingli said to Chu Yuqin, "Honored Master, please wait a moment, your disciple will bring Xuan’er out right away."

As her words fell, Chu Qingli quickly got up from the ground, went to her own room, and brought a bright, handsome little boy into the courtyard.

After bringing Lu Xuan in front of Chu Yuqin, Chu Qingli immediately said to Lu Xuan, "This is your Grandmaster."

Lu Xuan instantly behaved sensibly, cupping his hands toward Chu Yuqin and greeting, "Greetings, Grandmaster."

Chu Yuqin looked Lu Xuan over with a smile, then said, "Rise. May I know what your name is?"

Lu Xuan replied, "Replying to Grandmaster, my name is Lu Xuan."

As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, Chu Yuqin took out a Longsword from her Space Ring and said to Lu Xuan, "This is an Earth Realm Spirit Weapon. Take it as a meeting gift from your Grandmaster."

Seeing the Longsword in Chu Yuqin’s hand, Chu Qingli was slightly stunned.

Her Honored Master was already giving him a gift, and straight off it was an Earth Realm Spirit Weapon. That proved she had already accepted Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan respectfully received the Longsword from Chu Yuqin’s hand, then thanked her, "Many thanks, Grandmaster."

At this moment, Chu Yuqin took out a white piece of jade and said to Lu Xuan, "Lu Xuan, place your hand on this jade. I’ll test your aptitude."

Lu Xuan didn’t hesitate at all, raising his hand and placing it on that white jade.

The instant his hand touched the white jade, a sharp pain shot from his fingertip through his entire body, making Lu Xuan involuntarily frown slightly.

The method this world used to test talent was very simple: it depended on the body’s affinity with spiritual evil.

The stronger the pain when spiritual evil entered the body, the lower the affinity with spiritual evil.

The milder the pain, the better one could endure the pain brought by spiritual evil, proving higher affinity with spiritual evil.

As the spiritual evil within the white jade continuously entered Lu Xuan’s body, a cluster of white spiritual evil floated above the back of his hand, with the words "Human Realm" appearing on it.

This did not represent Lu Xuan’s current Realm, but rather the height he might reach in the future.

However, the Realm was only a prediction and would continuously rise. As long as Lu Xuan could endure, the Realm predicted by the jade would grow higher and higher.

Soon, the spiritual evil the white jade was channeling into Lu Xuan increased, a more violent surge of spiritual evil pouring into his body. Lu Xuan’s expression turned bitter, cold sweat streaming down his whole body.

In the next instant, the words "Spirit Realm" floated up on the white jade, but Spirit Realm instantly changed to "Profound Realm" and "Earth Realm," and kept rising until it reached "Emperor Realm."

Finally, Lu Xuan’s body could no longer endure, and at that moment the white jade also produced a force of repulsion, instantly flicking Lu Xuan’s hand away.

Seeing that Lu Xuan actually had the potential for Emperor Realm, Chu Qingli was overjoyed for a moment.

Just as she’d thought, the child she and Lu Chen had could not possibly have low talent.

The Heavenly Profound Sacred Land would definitely give key training to this child; in the future, the status of their mother-and-son pair in the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land would not be low.

Chu Yuqin then put away the white jade used to test aptitude and said to Chu Qingli, "Qing Li, Lu Xuan’s talent is good. If he follows me in cultivation in the future, he might be able to break through to Saint Realm in less than five hundred years."

Hearing Chu Yuqin’s words, Chu Qingli was slightly stunned.

Was her Honored Master saying she wanted to personally guide Lu Xuan’s cultivation?

Really? That would be great!

Her Honored Master was a Saint Realm expert, and also Elder Yu Changqin of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land. The resources she possessed far surpassed those of ordinary Elders. If Lu Xuan could cultivate under her, he would definitely achieve great accomplishments in the future.

However, the joy in Chu Qingli’s heart quickly faded, a trace of worry appearing in her eyes.

She and Lu Xuan no longer had to worry about their own safety now, but what about Lu Chen?

Just then, Chu Yuqin turned and said, "Qing Li, I will go investigate this Secret Realm again. You just stay in the Zhen Nan Prince Manor."

As her words fell, Chu Yuqin’s figure leaped into the air, flying up into the sky and heading into the distance.

After Chu Yuqin left, Lu Chen’s figure suddenly appeared behind Chu Qingli. He wrapped his arms around her slender waist, rested his chin on her fragrant shoulder, and asked softly against her ear, "What did your Honored Master say?"

Chu Qingli slightly turned her head, using the corner of her eye to look at Lu Chen. She didn’t answer his question immediately, but instead said, "You really know how to talk your way out of things. You actually managed to stabilize my Honored Master, a Saint Realm powerhouse."

"Although I don’t know exactly what you said to my Honored Master, the fact that you were able to return safe and sound and even bring her to the Zhen Nan Prince Manor proves she must have believed your words."

"I have to admit, your mouth is truly formidable. Your way of talking people around is second to none, especially when it comes to women."

Lu Chen said with a laugh, "What talking around? Every word I said was straight from the heart, all completely true."

Chu Qingli said at this time, "My Honored Master said she’ll stay in this Small World for a while longer to observe you and see what kind of person you are."

"If your disposition isn’t bad, she’ll take you as a disciple of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land and bring you back there. In the coming days, you should do that thing with women as little as possible."

Lu Chen said, "So that’s how it is."

Seeing Lu Chen’s seemingly absent-minded look, Chu Qingli knew he hadn’t taken her words to heart at all.

She reminded him coldly, "My Honored Master is Saint Realm. You’d better be clear about what you can do and what you can’t during this period."

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Don’t worry, my lady, I know where to draw the line with that much at least."

At this moment, Chu Qingli suddenly thought of Lu Xuan and continued, "Honored Master just tested Xuan’er’s aptitude. Xuan’er has Emperor Realm potential; if he’s properly nurtured, there’s a good chance he’ll become an Emperor Realm powerhouse in the future."

Hearing this, Lu Chen turned his head to look at Lu Xuan to the side and praised, "Worthy of being my child—he’s completely inherited his father’s talent."

Lu Xuan spoke sensibly at this moment, "Father, Mother, your child is going back to his room to cultivate."

Lu Chen said, "Go on, go on."

As soon as Lu Xuan finished speaking, he turned and went back to his own room.

After Lu Xuan left, Lu Chen leaned in by Chu Qingli’s ear and said softly, "We haven’t had a good talk in a long time. While we have the chance, let’s properly cultivate our relationship."

Chu Qingli frowned slightly. She had just reminded Lu Chen to do that thing with women less, and this guy immediately wanted to do it with her. He really didn’t care at all.

Chu Qingli was just about to say something when Lu Chen scooped her up in a Princess carry. Before she could speak, he pushed off with his legs, his body turning into a blur as he carried her into her room, then laid her down on the bed.

Chu Qingli said, looking at him with a "hate iron for not becoming steel" expression, "Are you tired of living?!"

Lu Chen gazed into Chu Qingli’s clear eyes and said carelessly, "Relax, your Honored Master won’t mind this kind of thing. Besides, she’s already left for now, hasn’t she? It’s not like she’ll know anyway."

"You..."

"Mmmph..." Before Chu Qingli could finish, Lu Chen had already claimed her fragrant lips.

Helpless, Chu Qingli could only let Lu Chen have his way.

Forget it. Since this damned man is courting death, he can’t blame her for what comes.
