Chapter 2410 - 2100: Why Do I Feel Like What She Said Makes Sense?
Chen Min asked, "Master Lu should know about Tianxuan Palace, right?"
Lu Chen replied with a smile, "Of course."
"Both the Saintess and the Palace Master of Tianxuan Palace are at the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, how could I not know about Tianxuan Palace? Why does the lord mention Tianxuan Palace? Could it be that Tianxuan Palace has offended you?"
Chen Min said, "Perhaps Master Lu is not aware, but Tianxuan Palace is not a force from the Border Wilderness; they come from the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land in Central State."
Lu Chen replied, "Master Chu has already told me about the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land. Moreover, I also know about the Ancient Ruins. If the lord wishes to say anything, please speak directly."
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, a cold glint flashed in Chen Min’s eyes.
Indeed, Tianxuan Palace has informed Zhen Nan Prince Manor about the Ancient Ruins, and they might have reached some kind of cooperation with Zhen Nan Prince Manor. Trying to sabotage their alliance at this time is not an easy task.
Chen Min then said, "Master Lu, do not be deceived by the people of Tianxuan Palace."
"The reputation of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land in Central State is not good, their disciples are arrogant and unruly, and they engage in wrongdoing relying on the backing of the Sacred Land."
"Don’t be fooled by how low-key they are currently in the Border Wilderness, as they haven’t caused any trouble yet due to the Ancient Ruins not being revealed and relatively few of them entering the Border Wilderness."
"Once the restrictions of the Border Wilderness are lifted, the elites of the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land will certainly target Zhen Nan Prince Manor."
Despite knowing that sabotaging the alliance wouldn’t be easy, Chen Min still intended to give it a try.
If out of fear nothing is said, when the Ancient Ruins emerge, Qionghua Holy Land will certainly not be able to compete against the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land with Heavenly Realm assistance.
No matter what, Zhen Nan Prince Manor must be aligned with Qionghua Holy Land. Even if Zhen Nan Prince Manor cannot be brought to stand with Qionghua Holy Land, a seed of doubt must be planted in Prince Zhen Nan or Lu Chen’s mind, to make him aware of Tianxuan Palace’s ill intentions.
Upon hearing Chen Min’s words, Lu Chen couldn’t help but smile and say, "Lord, could it be that you came to Zhen Nan Prince Manor today to deliver a Holy Decree just to tell me this?"
Chen Min replied, "Master Lu, I am looking out for Zhen Nan Prince Manor’s well-being, not wanting to see Zhen Nan Prince Manor being deceived. After all, Zhen Nan Prince Manor has done such great service for Dazhou."
Lu Chen glanced at Chen Min and then said, "Lord, if I’m not mistaken, you should not be from the Border Wilderness either, right?"
Seeing that Lu Chen recognized her identity, Chen Min did not hide it and admitted, "I am indeed not from the Border Wilderness; I come from an organization in Central State named Qionghua Holy Land."
Lu Chen asked, "Given that, the force behind you should also be here for the Ancient Ruins. How do I know you’re not saying this as a ploy to sow discord?"
Chen Min frowned, realizing that this Border Desolate Native was not easy to deceive.
After pondering for a moment, she continued, "I admit, I do have selfish motives, as all forces from Central State coming to the Border Wilderness are here for the Ancient Ruins, for the inheritance within."
"But I assure you, what I say is true; the group from Tianxuan Palace is indeed not good people."
"If Master Lu is unwilling to believe me, then there’s nothing I can do."
"However, even if Master Lu doesn’t believe me, please be cautious of them."
"Certainly, if Master Lu comes around one day, you may also come find us at Qionghua Holy Land. Whatever benefits the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land offers, we at Qionghua Holy Land can offer double."
"Additionally, we can provide Master Lu with an extra promise that even if the restrictions of the Border Wilderness are lifted in the future, Qionghua Holy Land can ensure the safety of Zhen Nan Prince Manor."
Upon hearing Chen Min’s words, Lu Chen was lost in thought, seemingly considering whether to agree.
Seeing that Lu Chen didn’t immediately reject, Chen Min felt a spark of hope.
After a while, Lu Chen spoke up, "I will consider it. If the lord has nothing else, please leave."
Even though Lu Chen didn’t agree, Chen Min did not feel discouraged.
She noticed Lu Chen hesitated just now, and hesitation usually means there is hope.
Next, she only needs to let Lu Chen see the true nature of Tianxuan Palace.
After Chen Min left, Lu Chen immediately returned to Qing Li’s room.
At that moment, Qing Li was still lying weakly on the bed; noticing Lu Chen’s return, Qing Li instantly tensed up.
This scoundrel wouldn’t think of doing it again, would he?
She had been exhausted for a month with no effect, and she just wanted to rest for a few days, as there hadn’t been any results despite a month of attempts, a few days wouldn’t matter.
At this moment, Qing Li asked, "What Holy Decree did the Imperial Court issue to Zhen Nan Prince Manor? Is it to demand Zhen Nan Prince Manor hand over the people from Tianxuan Palace?"
Lu Chen walked to the window, without saying a word, took off his shoes and clothes, and directly flipped onto the bed, skillfully pressing down on Qing Li.
Seeing Lu Chen starting to act as soon as he returned, a trace of resentment flashed in Qing Li’s eyes.
With Lu Chen in position, he looked down at Qing Li’s cold and jade-like face, smiling he said, "Someone named Chen Min just came, she seems to be a disciple of Qionghua Holy Land. Can you guess what she said?"
Hearing this, Qing Li instantly tensed up, her body unconsciously tightening. She looked at Lu Chen’s face, rather unsure, and asked, "What did she say?"
Seeing Qing Li’s intense reaction, a playful smile appeared on Lu Chen’s face, "She said that your Heavenly Profound Sacred Land has a notorious reputation in Central State. That the disciples of Heavenly Profound Sacred Land commit all sorts of atrocities, engage in murder and arson, and do every evil deed, advising me to be wary of you all."
"If one day the restrictions of the Border Wilderness are lifted, the Heavenly Profound Sacred Land will definitely destroy Zhen Nan Prince Manor."
Upon hearing this, Qing Li became even more anxious.
Her gaze fixed intently on Lu Chen’s eyes, afraid he would decide at any moment to collaborate with Qionghua Holy Land.
At this point, Qing Li asked, "Do you really believe what the person from Qionghua Holy Land said?"
Lu Chen retorted, "Do you think I should believe what she said?"
Qing Li insisted, "That person is just trying to sow discord; Heavenly Profound Sacred Land is a legitimate force from Central State, how could they condone their disciples committing wrongdoings?"
Lu Chen then leaned down, whispering softly into Qing Li’s ear, "Oh? Really? Somehow, what she said seems to make sense to me."
With this, Lu Chen began to move, fully aware of Qing Li’s current unstable emotions.
Based on his experience, women tend to be more susceptible to pregnancy when emotionally unstable and tensed up.
Thus, at this moment, engaging with Qing Li would increase her chances of conception.
At this moment, Qing Li’s mind was far from the affairs of men and women; she felt a whirlwind of confusion.
If Lu Chen truly chooses Qionghua Holy Land, what would they do next?
Lu Chen continued to provoke her, "Master Chu, our agreement has lasted for a month, and you still haven’t conceived my child. Are you deliberately stalling?"
Qing Li quickly retorted, "I... um... haven’t... not..."
Qing Li wanted to defend herself, but Lu Chen had become fiercer, preventing her from speaking coherently.
Lu Chen persisted, "Since Master Chu is unwilling to bear children for me, I might as well cooperate with Qionghua Holy Land."
Qing Li’s pupils slightly contracted; she immediately said, "No... don’t, I... am willing..."
