Chapter 453: Chapter 275 Shut Up! You still know he is your eldest apprentice-sister’s child!_1

Lu Chen arrived at Yunrong Courtyard, seeming to find Lin Wanyun sitting despondently on a stone bench in the pavilion, looking troubled about something.

Lu Chen immediately asked, “Madam Lin, has something happened to Rongrong?”

Hearing Lu Chen’s voice, Lin Wanyun abruptly looked up at him.

She seemed about to say something, but then she swallowed her words.

Lu Chen then approached Lin Wanyun and continued, “Whatever happened, just tell me directly.”

Lin Wanyun sighed and then replied, “The Honorable found out about her loss of purity.”

This…

Lu Chen was momentarily stunned, then asked, “Isn’t that Honorable of yours in closed-door cultivation?”

“I remember Rongrong mentioning that she wouldn’t be coming out of seclusion so soon. How could she have discovered this?”

Lin Wanyun sighed again, then said, “I have no idea how it happened, but some speculate in the Mysterious Moon Palace that it’s because the Honorable sensed the emergence of someone from the Heavenly Human Realm. Worried about the safety of Mysterious Moon Palace, she ended her seclusion early.”

Lu Chen frowned and then asked, “Does that mean Rongrong has been imprisoned by her Master?”

Lin Wanyun answered, “I don’t know if she has been imprisoned or not. I just heard about it, and now the whole Mysterious Moon Palace is aware of the issue.”

Although the Mysterious Moon Palace didn’t forbid disciples from finding romantic partners, they were simply instructed not to bear children. However, Chen Wanrong, being the Palace Master, had a special status. How could she casually give herself to another?

The members of the Mysterious Moon Palace were now divided into two camps. One camp believed that while romantic affairs weren’t forbidden, the Palace Master should remain chaste and not be involved with any man, especially someone from outside the Palace.

What if one day Palace Master Chen Wanrong acted irrationally out of emotion and brought disaster upon the entire Mysterious Moon Palace?

However, the other camp believed that despite being the Palace Master, Chen Wanrong was human and had natural desires, so she shouldn’t be prevented from seeking a romantic partner.

Since Chen Wanrong’s matter became known within the Mysterious Moon Palace, the two camps have been fiercely arguing. Ultimately, the decision of how to deal with Palace Master Chen Wanrong was up to the Honorable. No matter how much the others quarreled, it wouldn’t change the Honorable’s decision.

Hearing Lin Wanyun’s answer, Lu Chen’s brows knit tightly. He had not anticipated that Chen Wanrong’s Master would leave her seclusion so quickly and discover the truth about her loss of virginity.

This was troublesome.

Her Master appeared to be from the Heavenly Human Realm, or even above, and right now, Zhuge Zhongguang had not truly achieved the Heavenly Human Realm. If Chen Wanrong’s Master came looking for trouble, he probably wouldn’t be a match for her.

Seeing the worry on Lu Chen’s face, Lin Wanyun comforted him, “Chen’er, you don’t need to worry that the Honorable will come directly to you. Although she’s powerful, she seems to have encountered problems in her cultivation over the years, and it’s uncertain whether she still has the strength of the Heavenly Human Realm.”

“Moreover, there’s already one from the Heavenly Human Realm in the North Country. Even if she knows you’re the cause of Rongrong’s plight, considering the presence of a powerful Celestial in the North Country, she is unlikely to come after you.”

Lu Chen was not reassured by Lin Wanyun’s words because he knew very well that Zhuge Zhongguang hadn’t actually broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm. The breakthrough was just a lie to intimidate others.

Lin Wanyun continued, “The fact that the Honorable hasn’t gone to the Great Sum Imperial Palace to reclaim the Sacred Artifact of Mysterious Moon Palace suggests that her strength has declined significantly. Otherwise, she would have already snatched the Sacred Artifact back from the Imperial Palace.”

Hearing Lin Wanyun’s logic, Lu Chen realized, right, if that Honorable was indeed so powerful, invincible in the world, then why would she stay put in Mysterious Moon Palace, not even attempting to take back the Palace’s Sacred Artifact when it was stolen?

Clearly, her strength must have fallen to the Grandmaster Realm, making her unsure if she could defeat the Sum Emperor, who possessed the Sacred Artifact. After all, the Sacred Artifact could momentarily boost one’s strength to the Celestial Realm, and a Grandmaster was no match for a Celestial.

Lu Chen thought to himself, hoping that Zhuge Zhongguang’s so-called “Celestial Realm” presence would be enough to fool Chen Wanrong’s Master and keep her from daring to venture into North Country.

With that thought, Lu Chen sighed, then said, “Who knows how your Honorable will deal with Rongrong.”

Lin Wanyun said, “After all, she is the Honorable’s only disciple left. I guess she won’t hurt her, but to strip her of her position as Palace Master and confine her is quite likely.”

As she spoke, Lin Wanyun glanced at Lu Chen’s reaction. To be honest, she was initially reluctant to tell Lu Chen about this matter because she worried that it might result in enmity between him and Mysterious Moon Palace.

The current strength of North Country was too formidable; although it was not yet a match for Mysterious Moon Palace, it took countless years for Mysterious Moon Palace to reach its current stature. However, in just a few short years since Lu Chen’s arrival in North Country, its power had become frighteningly strong, to the point where they even had a Celestial-level warrior. If allowed to continue growing for a few more years, it was not impossible for North Country to surpass Mysterious Moon Palace.
