Free Web NovelChapter 2295: Chapter 1985: You Still Haven’t Found Any News About the Left Protector!
Lu Chen directly asked, "Youyou, can you tell me the name of the Heavenly Fate Sect’s Hierarch?"
When Lu Chen inquired about the Hierarch’s name, Zhou Youyou immediately thought of the list from the Zhen Nan Prince Manor.
The person Lu Chen was searching for included the name of their Hierarch.
Zhou Youyou promptly replied, "Our Hierarch is named Yun Yudie."
At this point, she tentatively asked, "Do you know our Hierarch, or have you heard her name somewhere?"
Upon hearing Zhou Youyou’s answer, Lu Chen felt a surge of joy, just as he had suspected; he had found another one so quickly.
Once he gathered his thoughts, Lu Chen asked, "Why do you ask?"
Zhou Youyou said, "I know your Prince’s Mansion is searching for certain women based on a list. Not only does that list have my name, but it also has our Hierarch’s name, the name of the Saintess of the Heavenly Fate Sect, and my sister’s name."
Listening to Zhou Youyou’s words, Lu Chen found it hard to believe that besides Yun Yudie, the Heavenly Fate Sect harbored two Ancestors of the Strange.
At this moment, Zhou Youyou and Lu Chen were still in a close embrace, and Zhou Youyou clearly felt Lu Chen’s excitement upon hearing her words.
Zhou Youyou couldn’t help but wonder, could it be true? Could she really be right?
Might Lu Chen truly have a peculiar fondness for the mysterious?
Could it be that all the people on that list are mysterious beings, and Lu Chen wants to possess their bodies?
She was seeing for the first time someone daring to entertain such thoughts about the mysterious.
Zhou Youyou felt an inexplicable chill in her heart.
All along, humans had been treated as blood food by the mysterious.
But now, there were humans using the mysterious as playthings and searching for them with great fervor.
It’s terrifying. How could there be such humans?
At this point, Zhou Youyou proactively asked, "The women on that list, are they all mysterious?"
She was eager to confirm if Lu Chen really had a special interest in the mysterious.
Lu Chen came to his senses and said, "You guessed right, the women on that list are indeed mysterious."
"This..." Zhou Youyou was rendered speechless.
The dim room plunged into prolonged silence.
After an unknown length of time, Zhou Youyou finally asked, "Are you truly not afraid of being corrupted by deceitful evil?"
Lu Chen, just one human, surprisingly had his sights set on so many mysterious females.
Upon hearing Zhou Youyou’s question, Lu Chen’s large hand gently stroked Zhou Youyou’s jade arm, slowly descending to smack her bottom, and then he said, "Having stayed in the Zhen Nan Prince Manor for so long, aren’t you aware whether I’m afraid of being corrupted by deceitful evil or not?"
Zhou Youyou fell silent again.
From her interactions with Lu Chen over this period, it indeed seemed that Lu Chen was not afraid of being corrupted by deceitful evil.
If she hadn’t been unable to sense any deceitful qi from Lu Chen, she might even suspect that he was also mysterious.
Zhou Youyou really couldn’t understand how a human could ignore deceitful evil and be immune to it.
After another unknown pause, Zhou Youyou continued to ask, "How do you do it?"
She now felt like a curious baby, filled with curiosity about Lu Chen, sensing his mysteriousness.
Though she had lived for countless years, it was her first encounter with a human completely immune to deceitful evil.
Lu Chen didn’t answer truthfully, only saying, "I don’t know why either, perhaps it’s because my constitution is rather special."
Upon hearing Lu Chen’s answer, Zhou Youyou understood that Lu Chen was still wary of her.
She pursed her lips, refraining from further inquiries but instead asked, "How did you get that list? You can at least tell me this, right?"
These mysterious beings typically didn’t use their real names in the human world.
Yet Lu Chen knew of their existence, which was what made him most terrifying.
Lu Chen seemed like a prophet.
Just then, a force popped into Zhou Youyou’s mind—that of the Tianji Pavilion.
It was rumored that, for a high enough price, the Tianji Pavilion could calculate everything under Heaven.
However, considering their mysterious nature, calculating them should be difficult through the Tianji Pavilion since they’re not native to this world.
While Zhou Youyou was lost in thought, Lu Chen’s voice resonated in her ear, "The names on that list were revealed to me in a dream. I dreamt that I married the women on that list and bore offspring, thus I believed it to be Heavens’ predestined marriage, prompting me to search for those women."
Upon hearing these words, Zhou Youyou entered a prolonged silence.
She was utterly speechless.
Lu Chen just didn’t want to reveal the truth, so he concocted such a lie to fool her, claiming it came to him in a dream—she didn’t buy it.
Subsequently, Zhou Youyou didn’t feel inclined to ask Lu Chen anything further, perceiving him as untrusting of her.
At the same time, at the Heavenly Fate Sect headquarters, the ethereal blue flames illuminated the entire hall.
At the very front of the hall, on the White Bone Chair, Yun Yudie looked coldly at the Heavenly Fate Sect disciples kneeling in the hall.
She said, "It’s been two months, yet you still have no news of the Left Protector whatsoever."
Feeling the pressure from Yun Yudie, the disciples kneeling in the hall shivered, cold sweat dripping from them, soon soaking their clothes.
Ever since Zhou Youyou entered the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, she seemed to have disappeared, no longer sending any information back to the Heavenly Fate Sect.
This worried Yun Yudie, fearing something might have happened to her.
Logically, even if Zhou Youyou hadn’t completed her task, she would occasionally send intelligence about the Zhen Nan Prince Manor.
Yet Zhou Youyou hadn’t sent any information at all.
At this moment, a disciple of the Heavenly Fate Sect kneeling in the hall said, "Hierarch...Hierarch, the Zhen Nan Prince Manor is now heavily guarded; our people cannot infiltrate."
Upon hearing the disciple’s words, Yun Yudie’s deceitful qi burst forth, pressing the disciple onto the ground, forming a large dent.
Yun Yudie coldly said, "Can’t you find another way to gather information about what’s happening inside the Zhen Nan Prince Manor?"
In Yun Yudie’s eyes, even though It’s heavily guarded, they should be able to gather information through the servants and maids of the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, there shouldn’t be absolutely no news of Zhou Youyou.
Unbeknownst to Yun Yudie, the lack of intelligence resulted from Lu Chen keeping Zhou Youyou in the West Wing Courtyard, where the maids were actually hidden guards inaccessible to ordinary servants, preventing Heavenly Fate Sect members from acquiring information from Zhen Nan Prince Manor servants regarding Zhou Youyou.
After calming her emotions, Yun Yudie immediately said, "Get out." freёweɓnovel.com
Upon hearing Yun Yudie’s words, the disciple kneeling in the hall received a reprieve, hastily rising, nervously fleeing the hall.
Watching the disciple leave, Yun Yudie sank into contemplation.
She recalled the information conveyed by Zhou Youyou two months ago.
Although Zhou Youyou reported Lu Chen was unable to identify mysterious identities, he had a list bearing their names, which Yun Yudie found most concerning.
