Chapter 2845 - 919: Reunion with Shen Yiren, Heart Demon Illusion Realm!

Chapter 2845: Chapter 919: Reunion with Shen Yiren, Heart Demon Illusion Realm!

"Yuning, you’ve worked hard on this trip. Go and rest first."

Shen Jianjia led Lu Changsheng and the others to a great hall of the Goddess Palace, and spoke to Qin Yunning at her side.

"Yes, Master." Qin Yunning knew her Master had important matters to discuss with this Changsheng True Monarch, and bowed as she took her leave.

"The reason I sent Yuning to the Great Dream Immortal City to visit Lu True Monarch was precisely for my younger sister’s matter."

Shen Jianjia, clad in a dress like a splendid river of stars, sat gracefully upon the main seat.

Her peerless features seemed not to belong to this world, spotless and without blemish, untouched by the slightest trace of mortal smoke and fire.

Yet her beautiful eyes held an indescribable nobility, dignity, and majesty, as though she were an empress who ruled all beneath heaven.

"When I departed that day, I promised that once I broke through to Nascent Soul, I would come to the Goddess Palace to marry Yiren. Now that I have broken through to Nascent Soul, even if the Great Palace Master had not sent word, Lu would still have come to pay a visit to the Goddess Palace."

Lu Changsheng spoke calmly, without mentioning the affair at Bailu Palace too much.

He had indeed suffered a great loss that day.

But Shen Jianjia, this Goddess Palace Master, had in the end stayed her hand and not dealt him a killing blow.

Moreover, this Goddess Palace Master likely found him extremely distasteful.

It was only for the sake of her younger sister Shen Yiren that she was willing to speak with him peacefully.

In such circumstances, Lu Changsheng naturally would not dwell too much on the matter of Shen Baishuang.

He put Shen Yiren’s situation first, doing his utmost to turn blades into silk and become one family.

Shen Jianjia was silent for a few breaths, then spoke: "If Yiren agrees, as her elder sister I naturally have no objections."

Under normal circumstances, she would be unwilling to marry her sister off to a Reincarnated Cultivator like Lu Changsheng.

Yet an elder sister is like a mother.

She understood her younger sister Shen Yiren’s temperament extremely well.

She knew that the events at Bailu Palace had greatly affected her sister, leaving her with a knot in her heart, trapped by a Heart Barrier.

Thus over these years, she had consistently refused to allow her sister to assault the Nascent Soul realm, hoping her sister could resolve it on her own.

Informing Lu Changsheng and asking him here was also a measure of last resort, thinking that he who tied the bell must untie it.

She hoped Lu Changsheng could untie her sister’s heart-knot and break through her Heart Barrier.

"Only, this palace has one question."

Shen Jianjia locked gazes with Lu Changsheng as she spoke.

Though the affair at Bailu Palace had been her younger sister Shen Baishuang’s fault,

in her view, Lu Changsheng had nevertheless disguised his identity, infiltrated her Goddess Palace, and harbored ill intent.

"Please speak, Great Palace Master." Lu Changsheng smiled as he replied.

"For what reason did Lu True Monarch come to my Goddess Palace in the first place?"

Shen Jianjia’s eyes were clear as she stared straight at Lu Changsheng; the plum-blossom mark between her brows shone with crystalline light as she judged the truth of his words.

Lu Changsheng had long guessed Shen Jianjia would ask this question, and said with an unruffled expression: "First, to use your honored palace to inquire after the whereabouts of my son Zhao Wuzhen; second, to see whether I might borrow your sect’s Spirit Vein to assault the Nascent Soul realm."

Shen Jianjia stared into Lu Changsheng’s eyes, her face devoid of expression.

Back then, when Lu Changsheng joined the Goddess Palace, this had been the very explanation he’d given.

He had only changed ’Family junior’ to ’my son’ now.

After gazing for a moment, she found in Lu Changsheng’s eyes and manner no sign of a lie.

Yet she did not rule out that the other party might be lying and able to deceive her.

After all, though Lu Changsheng before her was a newly advanced Nascent Soul, by her judgment he was a Reincarnated Cultivator, in no way as simple as he appeared.

He might even be an old monster who had lived longer than she herself.

Lu Changsheng knew his words lacked persuasive force, and continued, "I imagine the Great Palace Master has already guessed that Lu is no common Cultivator, but a Reincarnated Cultivator."

"Though Lu has awakened memories of his previous life, those memories are blurry, lacking a firm opportunity for breaking through to Heavenly Nascent Soul. Thus, by a faint sense of destiny, I came to the Starry Sky Sea."

"As for my son Zhao Wuzhen, I asked your sect to make inquiries at the time; your sect should know this matter was no fraud."

Lu Changsheng looked calmly at Shen Jianjia, who sat upon the main seat, her posture lithe and peerless.

He thought to himself that this Goddess Palace truly deserved the name of "Goddess."

The three sisters could all be called goddesses, especially the Shen Jianjia before him!

If he could take all three sisters together...

Lu Changsheng immediately banished the stray thoughts from his mind.

He chided himself inwardly that he had come this time to marry the younger sister; how could he enter the garden thinking of the melons, tease the child while thinking of the mother.

Besides, this Goddess Palace Master was a Top Level Cultivator of the Starry Sky Sea, a Nascent Soul Middle Stage Giant, who had once been courted by the Starry Sky Sea’s First Demon Cultivator, the "Six Path Demon Lord," now a giant of the Dan Alliance, the Starry Sky Sea’s first Alchemist.

Even if he wished to win her over, the difficulty would be extremely high.

Especially with his entanglements with Shen Yiren and Shen Baishuang; for him to seek close relations with this Goddess Palace Master and make her the mother of his child would be several times more difficult than for an ordinary man.

Shen Jianjia nodded lightly.

Though it had been Shen Yiren and Shen Baishuang who helped investigate Zhao Wuzhen’s matter,

she herself was also aware of the general situation.

"Are the affairs of Wugu Old Demon and Shi Hai True Monarch related to Lu True Monarch?"

Shen Jianjia looked at Lu Changsheng before her, her red lips parting as she asked.

Previously, the events on Wu Mo Island and concerning Shi Hai True Monarch had stirred no small commotion in the Starry Sky Sea.

The two of them happened to have some entanglement with Zhao Wuzhen, leading her to suspect that the matter of Wugu Old Demon and Shi Hai True Monarch might be connected to Lu Changsheng before her.

If both men had been slain by Lu Changsheng, it would be truly astonishing.

"That affair was wrought by his uncle, not by my hand." Lu Changsheng said.

"Uncle?" Shen Jianjia’s eyes narrowed slightly, wondering just what background this Lu Changsheng had.

Not only was he a Reincarnated Cultivator, he even had such a powerful and unfathomable elder uncle.

One must know that both Wugu Old Demon and Shi Hai True Monarch were Nascent Soul Cultivators.
