Chapter 1794: Chapter 1484: Let Her In
After calming her emotions, Ye Chuyao finally stood up from the stone platform. She planned to actively seek out Lu Chen for an explanation.
This scoundrel has completely taken advantage of her, and yet after all these years, he hasn’t come to find her. It’s likely he has already found a new love.
Thinking of this, Ye Chuyao’s heart grew even more furious.
Soon, Ye Chuyao arrived at Lu Chen’s courtyard; however, at this time, his courtyard was already empty, with even Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun nowhere to be found. It seemed to have been deserted for quite a long time, with fallen leaves scattered everywhere.
Seeing this, Ye Chuyao was momentarily stunned, and a bad premonition suddenly arose in her heart.
Could it be that Lu Chen has left the Mysterious Moon Palace?
After all, her Honored Master was inherently hostile towards Lu Chen. Although she didn’t know what temporary collaboration they had reached between each other, the conflict between her Honored Master and him shouldn’t be easy to resolve; now that Lu Chen’s identity has been exposed, perhaps he directly left the Mysterious Moon Palace.
Upon discovering Lu Chen’s identity had been exposed, Ye Chuyao immediately retreated to her Cultivation Cave Mansion, going into seclusion without leaving, so she wasn’t aware that Lu Chen had become an Elder of the Inner Hall of Mysterious Moon Palace.
An Inner Hall Elder has eminent status, possessing a specific small world, naturally moving out of this courtyard.
It was at this moment that Ye Chuyao saw several Inner Hall disciples passing by, so she stepped in front of them, “Where did Lu… Junior Brother Chen go?”
Upon hearing this, the disciples froze momentarily but quickly reacted, understanding what Ye Chuyao wanted to ask. One female disciple said, “Senior Sister, he is no longer a disciple.”
Ye Chuyao confusedly asked, “What do you mean?”
The disciple continued, “He is now an Elder of the Inner Hall.”
This…
Ye Chuyao was once again stunned. She hadn’t expected Lu Chen to become an Elder of the Mysterious Moon Palace; she thought he had already left the palace.
Since becoming an Elder of the Inner Hall, it means Lu Chen has moved to the small world where the Inner Hall elders reside.
Thinking of this, Ye Chuyao asked again, “Do you know where Mr Chen… Elder’s Cultivation Cave Mansion is located?”
Typically, the entrance to the small world assigned to an Inner Hall Elder is connected to the Cultivation Cave Mansion. As long as you find the Cultivation Cave Mansion, you can find the current small world of Lu Chen.
A disciple said, “We know.”
Ye Chuyao immediately said, “Take me there right away!”
“Yes, Senior Sister.”
Then under the guidance of that disciple, Ye Chuyao arrived outside Lu Chen’s Cultivation Cave Mansion. Before entering, she saw Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun, the two women teasing a little girl floating in mid-air outside the cave.
The little girl had two buns on her head, looking about six or seven years old, with a porcelain doll-like figure, appearing very cute.
Typically, an Immortal’s offspring grow relatively slowly, so for Lu Jinyu to reach six or seven years old like a mortal child of similar age indicates her remarkable talent. Ye Chuyao knew this was Lu Chen’s daughter and, strangely, her heart started to form peculiar thoughts.
If she also gave birth to a child for Lu Chen, could she bind him as well?
Just as Ye Chuyao was lost in thought, the disciple beside her said, “Senior Sister, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going.”
Ye Chuyao snapped back to reality, responding with an “Mmm,” then the guiding disciple turned and left Lu Chen’s Cultivation Cave Mansion.
At this moment, seeing Ye Chuyao arrive, Cao Shiyun and Xiao Xueying quickly said, “Greetings, Senior Sister.”
Ye Chuyao was about to speak when suddenly, the floating Lu Jinyu spoke, “Greetings, Aunt.”
Hearing this, Cao Shiyun and Xiao Xueying were instantly dumbfounded, and Ye Chuyao was similarly stunned in place.
Aunt?
Who taught her that?
Though calling her this isn’t much of an issue, considering Ye Chuyao and Lu Chen had already consummated their relationship, Ye Chuyao hadn’t formally married Lu Chen yet.
Cao Shiyun quickly said, “Senior Sister, I apologize, Little Yu is still young and doesn’t understand.”
Cao Shiyun then said to Lu Jinyu, “Little Yu, how could you address your Master Aunt like that?”
“Quickly, say you’re sorry to your Master Aunt.”
Before Cao Shiyun finished speaking, Lu Jinyu opened her mouth again and said, “But Master Aunt has Father’s aura, and she also has a marriage line with Father.”
Upon hearing this, Cao Shiyun felt immensely embarrassed, as Lu Jinyu’s spatial divine pupils had changed shortly after her birth and could see some causal lines.
Logically, only once reaching a certain cultivation state can one see such things, but Lu Jinyu’s special constitution allowed it.
If Lu Jinyu simply perceived it, it wouldn’t matter, but her directly saying it could lead to some issues.
At this moment, Ye Chuyao didn’t know what to say; her and Lu Chen’s identities were exposed by this child, especially the phrase “Master Aunt has Father’s aura,” which instantly reminded Ye Chuyao of the scene at Bihai Immortal City where Lu Chen imbued her with immortal power.
For a moment, Ye Chuyao’s cheeks slightly flushed, and she could only say, “Junior Sister Cao, it’s alright, children’s words carry no harm.”
Seeing that Ye Chuyao wasn’t angry, Cao Shiyun finally relaxed and then asked, “Senior Sister Ye, do you have any business here?”
Ye Chuyao said, “Is Lu… Elder Chen here?”
Cao Shiyun replied, “He is in seclusion.”
Since dual cultivating with Yun Yudie, Lu Chen’s consciousness could hardly simultaneously control other physical bodies, so he simply let all bodies stop and enter seclusion to cultivate.
Ye Chuyao pondered for a moment, finally saying, “I want to see him.”
Hearing this, Cao Shiyun and Xiao Xueying exchanged looks, guessing in their hearts the reason Ye Chuyao was seeking out Lu Chen.
After considering for a moment, Cao Shiyun said, “I’ll go into the cave to see if he’s finished his seclusion.”
Cao Shiyun knew Lu Chen wasn’t really in seclusion, as he had told her before entering seclusion to directly awaken him if something important arose.
As soon as Cao Shiyun finished speaking, she turned and entered the Cultivation Cave Mansion; at this time, Lu Chen’s body was sitting atop the stone platform in the middle of the cave, and it hadn’t entered the small world.
Cao Shiyun approached Lu Chen’s physical body and quietly said, “Darling, Senior Sister Ye is looking for you.”
After Cao Shiyun’s voice floated through the cave, Lu Chen’s consciousness instantly perceived it, he tried to separate a thread of divine sense to control this physical body, but as soon as he did so, the immortal power inside this body immediately became restless.
At the moment, his consciousness was almost entirely submerged in that sensation, so inevitably his body would be affected.
Lu Chen immediately told Cao Shiyun, “Let her in.”
Hearing this, Cao Shiyun turned and exited the cave.
Seeing Cao Shiyun coming out, Ye Chuyao suddenly became nervous, unsure how to face Lu Chen or what to say to him.
Cao Shiyun directly said, “Senior Sister, he’s finished his seclusion; you can go in.”
