Chapter 2500 - 2190: What’s Really Going On in There?

Chu Qingli explained to Chu Yuqin the details of Lu Chen’s various wives and concubines.

After listening to Chu Qingli’s report, Chu Yuqin fell into silence. For some reason, a surge of inexplicable anger arose in her heart, wanting to find Lu Chen and give him a beating.

Does Lu Chen have too many women?

Could it be that Lu Chen has said the same thing to all these women?

Thinking of this, Chu Yuqin looked at Chu Qingli and asked, "Did Lu Chen ever tell you that you were his couple in a past life?"

Hearing Chu Yuqin’s baffling question, Chu Qingli was a bit dumbfounded. After coming to her senses, she replied, "No."

Chu Yuqin thought to herself, could it be that Lu Chen only said that to me?

Immediately, Chu Yuqin continued to ask, "Then how did he coax you into bed?"

Seeing Chu Yuqin ask such a question, Chu Qingli couldn’t help but blush on her fair cheeks.

At this moment, she didn’t dare to say she was coerced by Lu Chen.

If she said she was coerced, it would definitely make Chu Yuqin have a worse impression of Lu Chen.

Although Lu Chen’s impression in Chu Yuqin’s heart might already be poor, she couldn’t add fuel to the fire.

Chu Qingli then said, "I offered myself to him to obtain the Ancient Inheritance."

Hearing that Chu Qingli took the initiative, Chu Yuqin sighed and said, "It must have been hard on you."

Chu Qingli said, "I don’t feel wronged. As a disciple of the Holy Land, it’s what I should do."

At this moment, Chu Qingli asked, "Honored Master, is there anything else you want to know?"

Chu Yuqin said, "No, that’ll be all for now."

What she needed to understand, she had almost understood.

There are some things she must see for herself to know.

At this moment, Chu Qingli suddenly thought of Mo Yixi, so she said to Chu Yuqin, "Honored Master, I found a disciple with great talent in the Border Wilderness, and I’ve already taken her as my personal disciple."

Hearing this, Chu Yuqin curiously said, "For you to say she has great talent? Then her talent must indeed be remarkable."

In a place like the Border Wilderness, where spiritual evil is scarce, it’s not easy for a talented Spirit Martial Artist to emerge. Moreover, Chu Qingli is a disciple from the Holy Land; her standards are quite high, so anyone she admires is no ordinary person.

Thus, Chu Yuqin wanted to see what kind of person this disciple Chu Qingli spoke of was, so she said, "Bring her before me, since she is your disciple, I naturally have to screen for you."

Chu Qingli immediately said, "Yes, Honored Master. I will have someone call her."

With that, Chu Qingli looked at the maid beside her and said, "Xiaoyuan, go call Lady Mu, tell her I have something to discuss."

"Yes, madam." With that, the maid swiftly left the courtyard.

Hearing Chu Qingli’s words, Chu Yuqin immediately sensed something was amiss, Lady Mu? What does that mean?

Chu Yuqin asked, "Lady? Could it be she’s also Lu Chen’s woman?"

Chu Qingli awkwardly said, "Honored Master, she’s very beautiful, exceptionally attractive, so..."

Stopping here, Chu Qingli hesitated, not daring to continue.

Seeing Chu Qingli’s hesitant look, Chu Yuqin immediately realized she was right. This female disciple taken by Chu Qingli had indeed become one of Lu Chen’s women.

Master and disciple serving the same man, what an outrageous thing!

Just thinking about it made Chu Yuqin’s face turn dark.

However, considering that Lu Chen’s power far surpassed Chu Qingli, Chu Yuqin chose not to reprimand him further.

After all, Lu Chen was already in the King Realm, and when Chu Qingli entered this world, her strength was merely in the Earth Realm, nowhere near being Lu Chen’s opponent, so even if Lu Chen had forcibly taken them, there was nothing she could do about it, and she could only blame everything on Lu Chen.

Returning to her senses, Chu Yuqin said, "Never mind, what’s done is done, I won’t say more, just make sure once we return to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land, your disciple shouldn’t have further contact with him."

Chu Qingli said, "Yes, Honored Master, I understand."

...

In the following few months, Chu Yuqin stayed inside the Small World, observing Lu Chen with her Divine Sense daily, watching what he was doing.

Perhaps because Lu Chen knew she was spying on him, he had been behaving rather diligently, spending most of his time patrolling the entire Small World, capturing the Mysterious Powers sent into this world, only occasionally tending to affairs with his wives and concubines.

Chu Yuqin discovered that Lu Chen was quite decent to his people. Even towards the common people of Dazhou, he showed concern for their lives and deaths, which was somewhat humane and unlike those disciples of the sacred lands in Central State who were indifferent to the lives of common folks.

In this regard, Lu Chen’s disposition seemed better than those Heavenly Prides of Central State.

A Heavenly Pride with strong feelings, loyalty, and a decent character, albeit a bit lecherous, is someone the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land absolutely cannot miss.

Chu Yuqin became even more determined to bring Lu Chen back to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land.

Of course, she hadn’t forgotten about the Ancient Inheritance.

Occasionally, Chu Yuqin would leave the Zhen Nan Prince Manor to search all over the Small World for the Ancient Inheritance, but each time to no avail.

In the blink of an eye, years passed.

Today, the leaders of various Central State powers, strong in the Saint Realm, gathered at the entrance of the ruins, looking uncomfortably at the massive swirling vortex in the distance.

For years, they had sent countless Mysterious Powers into this Ancient Ruins, yet not a single one had returned, only entering, not exiting.

Zhang Wulian said Lu Chen was on the brink, didn’t he?

Why do the Mysterious Powers never return once entering the ruins?

What on earth is going on inside?

At this moment, Pan Rui of the Wind and Cloud Tower, clenched his fists in anger and said, "Everyone, these past two years, we’ve sent so many Mysterious Powers in, yet none have returned. Either these Mysterious Powers reneged, or they were sealed by Lu Chen upon entering the ruins."

"Given the current situation, it’s pointless to send more Mysterious Powers in. We might as well join forces to forcibly break open the entrance to the ruins."

Although Tianji Pavilion had advised against using brute force to open the entrance, they had been stuck in this Border Wilderness for many years and still couldn’t enter the Ancient Ruins; many had run out of patience.

After the restrictions of the Border Wilderness were lifted, some spiritual evil from Central State flowed here, but the spiritual evil in the Border Wilderness remained very scarce, making it unsuitable for martial cultivation.

Many from Central State found the Border Wilderness uninhabitable and wanted to return, including these leading strongmen of the Saint Realm.

For them as Saint Realm warriors, advancing in Realm required more spiritual evil and resources.

But in this desolate Border Wilderness, spiritual evil was so scarce, and resources were limited; they really didn’t want to stay here any longer, especially when there seemed to be no hope in sight.

Even a slight fluctuation at the entrance would give hope, but the power of Mysterious at the entrance remained stable without any signs of dispersing, plus they hadn’t found anyone with a special constitution to resist the erosion of Mysterious Power.

How long would they have to wait if this continues?

Hearing Pan Rui’s words, Wei Yang, the leading Elder of Qionghua Holy Land, said, "Let’s wait a bit longer. If we can obtain the Ancient Inheritance, waiting a few decades would be worthwhile."
