Chapter 2039 Is Young Master Lu truly unafraid of death?
Upon hearing that Lu Chen was going to Guangling County, all the ministers in the court stood up to oppose it.
In the eyes of those ministers, if Lu Chen were not taken as a hostage, the Prince of Zhennan might very well rebel.
However, Pei Shuhua managed to suppress the opposition.
The Xu residence.
Xu Jingshu sat upright on the soft couch, her eyes slightly closed.
At this moment, the voice of a disciple of the Heavenly Fortune Sect rang out at the door: "Holy Maiden, we have intelligence about the Zhennan Prince's Mansion."
Upon hearing this, her eyes snapped open, and she said, "Come in."
The next moment, the disciple of the Heavenly Fortune Sect entered the room and said directly, "Lu Chen is leaving the capital and heading to Guangling County."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jingshu was stunned for a moment. Leave the capital?
Wouldn't that give the Heavenly Fortune Sect a chance to kidnap Lu Chen? Could this be a conspiracy?
After regaining her senses, Xu Jingshu said, "Report this news to the sect leader immediately."
Before that disciple could leave to receive the order, another disciple of the Heavenly Fortune Sect appeared at the door: "Holy Maiden, there is a letter from the Sect Leader."
With a wave of her hand, Xu Jingshu sent the letter from the disciple's hand flying into hers.
She then opened the letter, glanced at it, and upon seeing its contents, an expression of disbelief instantly appeared on her face.
Unexpectedly, their leader already knew that Lu Chen was leaving the capital, and Lu Chen was going to meet with their leader this time.
Xu Jingshu thought to herself that their leader must have already made preparations. Once Lu Chen met with their leader, Lu Chen would inevitably be kidnapped by their leader.
In that case, she doesn't need to worry about it.
After Lu Chen had made all the arrangements for the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, he left the capital with Zhao Yu and the others.
As the sun slowly sank behind the mountains, it dyed the clouds in a gentle orange-red hue.
The afterglow of the setting sun poured down, gilding the distant city walls with a hazy golden edge.
The once crisp grass and trees were now tinged with the soft twilight, and a gentle evening breeze swept by, dispelling the daytime heat.
The glow on the horizon gradually faded, changing from a deep crimson to a soft light purple.
Flocks of birds flew across the sky, hurrying back to the forest. On a straight official road, a convoy was moving slowly forward.
Dongxing City was the first city where Lu Chen and his group stopped after leaving the capital, and it was also the place where Lu Chen and Yun Yudie had agreed to meet.
Before Lu Chen's convoy even entered Dongxing City, Qu He rode up to the window of Lu Chen's carriage and whispered to him, "Your Highness, there are many strange and evil spirits nearby."
A Celestial Realm Spirit Warrior possesses exceptional perception; the entire city lies within his range, and he can detect even the slightest movement of the wind or grass around him.
Even though Yun Yudie managed to conceal the strange auras, they couldn't escape Qu He's perception.
Upon hearing Qu He's reminder, Lu Chen simply smiled faintly. Just as he had expected, Yun Yudie not only wanted to meet him this time, but also wanted to take him away.
However, it's hard to say who will take whom away in the end.
Lu Chen said, "It's alright, let's not alert them for now."
Qu He, mounted on his horse, respectfully replied, "Yes, Your Highness."
Immediately afterwards, the convoy headed towards Dongxing City.
After entering Dongxing City, Lu Chen and his group stayed at the largest restaurant in Dongxing City.
After dismissing the governor and others from Dongxing County, Lu Chen went to a private room on the top floor of the restaurant and sat down to wait for Yun Yudie and the others to arrive.
At this moment, Zhou Youyou stood next to Lu Chen, looking uneasy. She was afraid that their leader would clash with Lu Chen, and she was even more afraid that Lu Chen would be captured by their leader.
As night fell, another convoy of carriages slowly approached the street. When the carriage at the front stopped, a slender, pale hand gently lifted the side curtain, and a graceful figure stepped out.
The woman wore a plain moon-blue silk dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps.
Her long, jet-black hair was tied up high with only a jade hairpin, with a few strands of black hair hanging down by her temples, making her skin appear even whiter than snow.
Her features were cold and aloof, her eyes like blue gemstones, devoid of any smile. Her face was serene and cold, her nose was straight and delicate, her lips were pale, and she seemed to be surrounded by a layer of cool mist.
Lu Chen sat by the window, looking down at Yun Yudie. For a moment, he was in a daze, and the days when he and Yun Yudie cultivated together couldn't help but come to mind.
Just then, Yun Yudie, who had stepped down from the carriage, sensed something and looked up slightly at the top-floor window.
Seeing Lu Chen's handsome face, Yun Yudie couldn't help but be a little distracted. A strange sense of familiarity welled up in her heart, and some fragments of memories surfaced in her mind, as if she and Lu Chen had known each other before, and not only knew each other, but it seemed that something had happened between them.
The two of them stared at each other, one tall and one short.
After what seemed like an eternity, Yun Yudie finally came to her senses. She composed herself and headed towards the restaurant.
Not long after, Yun Yudie led Xu Jingshu into the private room where Lu Chen was.
Upon entering the room, Xu Jingshu's gaze fell upon Lu Chen.
Lu Chen was dressed in a moon-white brocade robe with dark patterns, with a black jade belt around his waist. His posture was as upright as a green bamboo standing in the wind, exuding the noble air of a young master from a prestigious family.
He was handsome, with sword-like eyebrows that slanted upwards to his temples, a high and straight nose, and deep, clear eyes. His black hair was tied up high with a jade crown, with a few strands falling down his forehead, adding a touch of casualness.
For some reason, seeing Lu Chen made Xu Jingshu feel a strange sensation in her lower abdomen.
Upon seeing Yun Yudie, Lu Chen stood up and said with a smile, "You must be the leader of the Heavenly Fortune Sect? It's a pleasure to meet you."
Yun Yudie did not respond to Lu Chen's words immediately; her gaze swept across the entire room.
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao and her sister, along with an elderly man, were standing next to Lu Chen.
Yun Yudie was somewhat confused. Was this human really not afraid that she would attack him?
He only brought one Earth Realm expert with him.
After regaining her senses, Yun Yudie said indifferently, "Young Master Lu is quite bold, daring to leave the capital and meet with me."
Lu Chen said with a smile, "I believe that the Heavenly Fortune Sect Leader will not harm me."
"Alright, let's not stand anymore, please have a seat."
Yun Yudie then sat down at the round table, and Lu Chen immediately sat down opposite her.
Zhou Xiaoxiao took the initiative to pick up the teapot and pour tea for both of them.
At this moment, Yun Yudie spoke up: "I wonder what Young Master Lu wants to discuss with me?"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Isn't the Heavenly Fortune Sect Leader asking a question he already knows the answer to? I have already made my purpose clear in the letter."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Yun Yudie immediately emitted a thick, eerie black aura.
She stared into Lu Chen's smiling eyes and asked coldly, "Is Young Master Lu truly not afraid of death?"
Hearing their conversation, Xu Jingshu felt completely bewildered, not knowing what they were talking about.
She was now very curious about what Lu Chen had written in the letter to their cult leader.
Lu Chen picked up a cup of tea, took a small sip, and looked completely unconcerned. "Xiao Xiao and You You should have already told you about my special circumstances."
"You should know in your heart how important I am to you."
Yun Yudie said coldly, "If your body truly possesses limitless vitality, then it is indeed very important to me. However, I can easily capture you and keep you captive. Why should I cooperate with you?" (End of Chapter)
