Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Upon hearing Chu Qingli’s answer, Lu Chen curiously asked, "Does the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land have Heavenly Realm experts?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s question, Chu Qingli couldn’t help but find it amusing. It seems that the Zhen Nan Prince Manor is indeed a local force, otherwise, how could they ask such naive questions?

Then Chu Qingli replied, "The Heavenly Profound Sacred Land not only has Heavenly Realm experts but has even stronger existences."

Lu Chen continued to ask, "Then what realm is the strongest person in the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land?"

Chu Qingli answered, "That I do not know, but it certainly far exceeds the Heavenly Realm."

Lu Chen remarked, "I see. Then why has the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land not sent a Heavenly Realm expert to the Border Wilderness, and only sent Master Chu here?"

"Could it be that the relic is not important to the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land?"

Chu Qingli did not intend to conceal anything and directly replied, "It’s not that the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land doesn’t want to send Heavenly Realm experts, but the Border Wilderness is shrouded by a mysterious force, and experts above the Heavenly Realm simply cannot enter this world."

"It is said that the restriction of the Border Wilderness was set up by the mysterious expert who left the relic back then."

Lu Chen said, "So that’s how it is."

At this moment, Chu Qingli tentatively asked, "So I wonder if Master Lu would be interested in cooperating with Tianxuan Palace to explore the ancient ruins together?"

Lu Chen smiled and asked, "Since the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land sent Master Chu to such a remote place, you must be very interested in some aspects of the relic."

"If Master Chu and I cooperate, aren’t you afraid we might snatch what the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land wants?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Qingli said, "If there is something we want in the ancient ruins, we would naturally be willing to offer appropriate compensation to the Zhen Nan Prince Manor."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen fell into thought, seemingly pondering whether to cooperate with Tianxuan Palace.

After a while, Lu Chen’s gaze turned to Mu Yunxi, and with a smile, he said, "Master Chu, Zhen Nan Prince Manor can cooperate with your Tianxuan Palace, but I have one condition."

Upon hearing this, Chu Qingli quickly said, "Please speak, Master Lu. No matter what the condition, as long as Tianxuan Palace can accomplish it, we will agree."

Lu Chen directly said, "How about betrothing Miss Mu to me?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Yunxi and Chu Qingli were stunned, they did not expect Lu Chen would propose such a condition.

After a moment, Chu Qingli came back to her senses, frowned tight, and said with some displeasure, "Master Lu, Yunxi is the Saintess of my palace, she cannot marry you."

Though Mu Yunxi was the disciple he took in this Border Wilderness, he believed Mu Yunxi’s talent was not inferior to the prodigies of the Central State, and if taken back there for cultivation, she would certainly be able to break through to the Saint Realm in the future. How could she marry a native from such a remote place?

Upon hearing Chu Qingli’s answer, Lu Chen shrugged and said, "It seems Master Chu has no sincerity. In that case, our cooperation ends here."

Seeing Lu Chen’s statement, Chu Qingli felt a bit anxious, fearing Lu Chen might act against the Great Zhou Royal Family next.

At this time, Mu Yunxi also saw Chu Qingli’s dilemma, so she volunteered, "Master, I am willing to marry Master Lu."

Mu Yunxi heard Chu Qingli mention that if he wants to return to Central State, he must obtain the inheritance from the ancient ruins.

Chu Qingli has been in this remote region for who knows how many years, and he often shared his experiences in Central State with her.

Mu Yunxi knew how much her Honored Master wanted to return to Central State.

If Lu Chen overthrows the rule of the Great Zhou Royal Family, leading their plan to failure, Chu Qingli might never return.

Upon hearing Mu Yunxi’s words, Chu Qingli was slightly shocked, about to speak when Lu Chen smiled and said, "Since even Miss Mu agreed, I guess Master Chu would also consent?"

"To be honest, if you don’t even agree to this request, I would truly doubt if you really want to cooperate with the Zhen Nan Prince Manor."

"I believe this ancient relic is very important to you, and here I can assure you, the inheritance inside the ancient relic shall remain untouched by me, all going to your Heavenly Profound Sacred Land."

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Qingli felt it incredible, after all, it is the relic left by the mysterious Great Power, and to obtain the inheritance, crossing the Saint Realm in the future is not impossible.

Yet Lu Chen shows no temptation; is he fooling her?

Yet it’s easy to say now; once the ancient relic truly opens, Lu Chen might have the Heavenly Realm expert from Zhen Nan Prince Manor seize the inheritance.

However, even knowing Lu Chen might forcefully seize the inheritance, Chu Qingli cannot afford to fall out with him now. After all, the only Heavenly Realm expert in Border Wilderness is in Zhen Nan Prince Manor, and they must heed Lu Chen’s disposition.

Chu Qingli sighed lightly at this moment and then said to Mu Yunxi, "Yunxi, if you are determined, then as your master, I will say no more."

Chu Qingli actually guessed why Mu Yunxi agreed, but she felt helpless, now they really have no choice, even if she refused, what difference does it make?

Given the power of the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, they could wipe out Tianxuan Palace anytime, and Lu Chen could still take Mu Yunxi by force; they simply have no bargaining power.

Seeing Chu Qingli no longer opposing, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Since that’s the case, from now on, Miss Mu shall reside in the Zhen Nan Prince Manor."

At that, Lu Chen glanced at Chu Qingli and continued, "What does Master Chu plan next? Perhaps you might as well stay at the Zhen Nan Prince Manor."

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Qingli quickly became vigilant, thinking this guy might have a plan for her?

Considering this possibility, Chu Qingli quickly said, "Master Lu, I have things to attend to, and will not linger in Guangling City, I will return to Tianxuan Palace tomorrow."

At that, Chu Qingli suddenly thought of something and added, "By the way, Master Lu, Central State may have more than just one power of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land coming to Border Wilderness, possibly other super forces have sent emissaries here as well; those people might also seek to cooperate with Zhen Nan Prince Manor."

"But they might have ulterior motives, please open your eyes and beware of deceit."

Now, Chu Qingli’s biggest worry is the other Central State forces promising Lu Chen many benefits, making him turn against Tianxuan Palace.

These forces have yet to reveal themselves, making it very difficult to take precautions.

Lu Chen said, "Rest assured, Master Chu, since I have already promised to cooperate with your Tianxuan Palace, I won’t work with a second force."

Chu Qingli said, "I thank Master Lu in advance."

"Once Tianxuan Palace obtains the ancient inheritance, the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land will certainly reward Zhen Nan Prince Manor richly."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I look forward to it."

Chu Qingli then stood and said:

"Master Lu, I would like to speak with Yunxi, would that be convenient?"

Lu Chen also got up from his seat: "Of course, Master Chu, please feel free."

With those words, Lu Chen left the Meeting Hall directly.

While Mu Yunxi led Chu Qingli to the courtyard where she lived.

Once entering the yard, Mu Yunxi and Chu Qingli entered a room and closed the windows and doors.

Chu Qingli sat beside the round table, deeply sighed, and looked at Mu Yunxi saying, "Yunxi, it is my fault."
