Chapter 454: Chapter 275 Shut Up! You still know he is your eldest apprentice-sister’s child!_2
If Mysterious Moon Palace and the North Country fell out over the matter of Chen Wanrong, and Lu Chen decided to lead his troops against Mysterious Moon Palace, the Palace’s final outcome would likely not be good.
Lin Wanyun was very impressed with Lu Chen. In her opinion, the development of Mysterious Moon Palace had essentially stalled, whereas the North Country was rapidly advancing, with its strength growing at an especially fast pace. No one could predict whether another Celestial Realm powerhouse would emerge from the North Country in the future.
From Lin Wanyun’s personal standpoint, she really hoped the two powers would not come into conflict.
While Lin Wanyun was lost in thought, Lu Chen spoke up, “As long as Rongrong’s master does not harm her, it’s fine. If her master confines her and won’t allow her to leave the mountain, I will personally go to bring her down once the North Country stabilizes.”
Hearing this, Lin Wanyun quickly said, “Chen’er, don’t be impulsive. There might be other ways to handle this situation.”
Lu Chen smiled and asked, “Madam Lin, do you have any other ideas?”
Lin Wanyun replied, “Rongrong’s master is particularly good to her. If Rongrong insists on becoming your woman, I believe her master will eventually let her come down the mountain to find you.”
Lu Chen said, “That might not…”
Before Lu Chen could finish speaking, the voice of a maid came from outside, “Prince, Commander Qin is looking for you. He says he has good news and urges you to go to the study immediately!”
Lu Chen was startled by the words.
Good news?
What good news?
Lu Chen immediately stood up, then said to Lin Wanyun, “Madam Lin, if you have any news about Rongrong, tell me right away.”
Lin Wanyun replied, “Yes, alright.”
Lu Chen then turned and walked towards the study.
If Qin Yushan emphasized that he had good news, then the information he brought this time must be of great value.
In a short while, Lu Chen appeared in the courtyard of the study. At that moment, Qin Yushan, seeing Lu Chen arrive, was about to come over to say something when he suddenly remembered that the matter was not suitable to be discussed outside, so he simply saluted and said, “Greetings, Prince!”
Lu Chen nodded and said, “Yes. What is it?”
Qin Yushan suggested, “Prince, let’s talk elsewhere.”
Hearing this, Lu Chen knew the intelligence was of great importance. He immediately walked toward the study, saying as he went, “Come with me.”
The two then entered the study, and as soon as they were inside, Qin Yushan promptly closed the door of the study and handed a small slip of paper to Lu Chen, “Prince, a Pigeon Letter from Great Yu City. Xuanyuan Chaoge has broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was stunned.
The Heavenly… Celestial Realm???
When he left Great Yu City, he had not seen any signs that Xuanyuan Chaoge was about to make the breakthrough. How could he have broken through so suddenly?
He had only returned to the Prince’s Mansion yesterday, and today he received a Pigeon Letter from Great Yu City.
Wait, wasn’t there supposed to be some special trial required to break through to the Celestial Realm?
According to Zhuge Zhongguang’s conjecture, every Grandmaster who wanted to break through to the Celestial Realm had to undergo a special trial from this world, like a certain Celestial Realm powerhouse from Mysterious Moon Palace who had once hunted down many Grandmasters to achieve their breakthrough, or Zhuge Zhongguang himself, who needed the North Country to have more scholars so that he could absorb the Qi of Literature.
What was the trial this world set for Xuanyuan Chaoge?
Lu Chen pondered for a moment and thought that Xuanyuan Chaoge’s trial might very likely be related to himself. Before he had gone to Great Yu City, Xuanyuan Chaoge had lived for three hundred years without breaking through to the Celestial Realm. Yet, having merely inspected Great Yu City, Xuanyuan Chaoge broke through immediately after.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen’s lips curled into a slight smile. He had just been worried about Chen Wanrong’s master causing him trouble, but now, with a Celestial Realm powerhouse in the North Country, there was no immediate concern about Mysterious Moon Palace.
Without delay, Lu Chen instructed Qin Yushan, “Send a Pigeon Letter at once. Tell Xuanyuan Chaoge to hand over the position of City Lord of Great Yu City to his second son and come to Yan County to take up an important position.”
Although he wasn’t sure if Chen Wanrong’s master would cause him trouble, it was better to call Xuanyuan Chaoge to Yan County just to be safe.
Qin Yushan said, “Yes, Prince.”
Lu Chen continued, “Go now.”
Qin Yushan bowed and said, “Your subordinate takes his leave.”
With those words, Qin Yushan turned and left the study to write the letter.
Meanwhile.
Mysterious Moon Palace.
A cold and stunningly beautiful woman with silver-white hair was seated on the throne in the great hall, watching Chen Wanrong, who knelt before her, with an expressionless face.
The entire hall was empty except for the two of them.
The woman spoke again, “Who exactly is that man?”
Chen Wanrong knelt on the ground with an indifferent expression, giving no response.
Seeing Chen Wanrong still not answering, the woman said coldly, “Rongrong, it seems you have forgotten all the teachings I imparted to you. I had only recently retreated into seclusion, and you went down the mountain to find a man. Do you have any idea how losing your Primordial Yin would affect your cultivation?”
“You could have broken through to the Celestial Realm in at most fifty years. Now that your Pure Yin Body is damaged and contaminated with worldly karma, even if you had a hundred or even two hundred years, you might never be able to break through to the Celestial Realm!”
The woman grew angrier as she spoke.
Chills emanated from her body, quickly enveloping the entire hall in ice.
