Chapter 2497 - 2187: I’ll Trust You for Now

Chu Yuqin searched the entire Small World over ten times, and found nothing.

This Small World, not to mention having Ancient Ruins, didn’t even have dangerous Formations, it didn’t seem like a place with Ancient Inheritance.

Generally, when an Ancient Great Power leaves their inheritance behind, they set up many Formations to screen suitable inheritors.

But there were no traces of Ancient Arrays in this Small World. Even if there were Formations, they were ones set up by Lu Chen and other people from Dazhou, and there were no Ancient Grand Formations.

From this point of view, what Lu Chen said is likely true. With no Ancient Grand Formation, how could it be a place to screen inheritors?

This left Chu Yuqin momentarily unsure of how to report back to their Holy Master.

Even the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion said that this world contains Ancient Inheritance.

Yet various signs indicate that there is no Ancient Inheritance here.

Could it be that she will return to tell their Holy Master that the Pavilion Master of Tianji Pavilion calculated wrongly?

The intelligence from Tianji Pavilion has never been wrong, saying this would not be believed.

Afterwards, Chu Yuqin conducted several deep explorations of this world but still came up empty.

Besides the dense spiritual evil and deceitful evil, this world had nothing special, and it can generally be determined there is no inheritance here.

Not to mention inheritance, there isn’t even any treasure.

Ultimately, Chu Yuqin chose to return to Zhen Nan Prince Manor, intending to observe Lu Chen again.

If Lu Chen wasn’t lying, then he would likely return empty-handed from this trip.

But on the other hand, even without Ancient Inheritance, if she could bring Lu Chen back to Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, it would still be a gain, and promising talents include more than Lu Chen, like his children.

Lu Chen’s children should have inherited his talents.

If Lu Chen’s children all possess Emperor Realm potential, Heavenly Profound Sacred Land would profit greatly. The combined value of Lu Chen and his children might far exceed Ancient Inheritance.

After Chu Yuqin returned to Zhen Nan Prince Manor, she planned to have a talk with Lu Chen, to learn more about him.

She released her Divine Sense to locate Lu Chen and discovered that he was in Qing Li’s room.

Feeling what Lu Chen was doing, Chu Yuqin’s face instantly turned sullen.

Although she knew before leaving that Lu Chen and Qing Li even had children and Qing Li had become Lu Chen’s couple, personally sensing their intimacy made Chu Yuqin feel displeased, possibly because of Lu Chen’s claim that they were the true couple.

However, even feeling displeased, Chu Yuqin didn’t interrupt them.

She reckoned that it wouldn’t last long and decided to wait a bit, intending to settle accounts with Lu Chen afterward.

But what surprised Chu Yuqin was that for several days afterward, the two remained in bed without leaving the room, which was intolerable to her.

Although intimacy between men and women is normal, for Spirit Martial Artists, there are no benefits but rather adverse effects on cultivation, harming one’s foundation.

Yet these two stayed entwined, Lu Chen disregarded it, but Qing Li, at least, was her disciple. As an Honored Master, she could not tolerate her disciple’s indulgence in intimacy.

Chu Yuqin was too lazy to send someone to talk, instead directly releasing her own pressure.

When her Emperor Realm pressure swept across Zhen Nan Prince Manor, Lu Chen, who was in the midst of business, shook slightly, and Qing Li reacted.

She quickly pushed Lu Chen’s chest and said, "I told you not to continue, yet you did, now my Honored Master must be angry."

With a face full of grievance, Qing Li glared at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen simply smiled and then said, "It’s okay, they must have something to discuss with me, not wanting to disturb us, so they could only remind me in this manner."

Since Chu Yuqin had returned, Lu Chen didn’t intend to continue.

He also wanted to see what business Chu Yuqin had with him.

As Lu Chen got up and dressed, he directly opened the door and walked into the courtyard.

At this time, Chu Yuqin sat on a stone stool in the courtyard, holding a teacup, gently sipping tea, without any emotional fluctuation on her face, but the pressure she emitted clearly reminded everyone she was angry.

Yet Lu Chen acted as if nothing was amiss, sitting down at the stone table and pouring himself a cup of tea from the teapot on the table.

After drinking the cup of tea, Lu Chen set down the teacup and looked at Chu Yuqin, saying, "Madam Chu, how come you returned so quickly? I thought you would at least train for some months before coming back to Zhen Nan Prince Manor."

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Yuqin set down her teacup and stared coldly into Lu Chen’s eyes, asking, "Was everything you said to this seat true?"

Lu Chen responded, "Of course, why would I deceive you?"

Chu Yuqin then asked, "If so, then you should release that peerless great evil."

Upon hearing her words, Lu Chen showed a hint of surprise and then said, "Madam Chu, are you serious? That’s an Ancient Great Evil, if released, we would all face certain death."

Chu Yuqin calmly stated, "An Ancient Great Evil, even you could seal, how strong could it really be?"

The reason Chu Yuqin wanted Lu Chen to release that supposed peerless great evil was to verify whether Lu Chen was deceiving her.

If what Lu Chen said was true, she could properly report back to Chu Yunzhi.

If she merely trusted Lu Chen’s words without verification, she wouldn’t be able to offer a convincing report, and Chu Yunzhi wouldn’t believe Lu Chen’s claims.

Lu Chen then continued, "The reason I could seal the peerless great evil was because it was already in a state of Sealing, its power greatly weakened, allowing me to seal it."

"If released, its power might quickly return, and none of us, not even the Saints outside combined, might stand against it, leading the world to face an apocalypse."

Seeing Lu Chen’s earnest tone, not appearing to lie, Chu Yuqin fell into thought.

If what Lu Chen said was true, then the peerless great evil should definitely not be released.

However, without releasing the peerless great evil, how could she ascertain the truth of his claims?

Unless there was a Magic Treasure capable of discerning lies.

Thinking of this, Chu Yuqin felt a shock in her heart—yes, she could simply take Lu Chen back.

Although she lacked a Magic Treasure to detect lies, Heavenly Profound Sacred Land had the Truth Testing Stone, which could be used on Lu Chen to verify whether he was lying.

Chu Yuqin then said, "This seat temporarily believes you, but you must come with me to Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, where we will test your words with the Truth Testing Stone."

"If you pass the Truth Testing Stone, I guarantee you will be established as the Saint Heir of Heavenly Profound Sacred Land."

If everything Lu Chen claimed is true, without obtaining Ancient Inheritance and being a reincarnation of a Great Power, then Heavenly Profound Sacred Land would certainly treat him like a revered ancestor, and the Saint Heir position would undoubtedly belong to Lu Chen.
