Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Seeing Lu Chen's exaggerated expression, Mu Yunxi knew that this guy must have known that her master was here, so he deliberately came here.

Chu Qingli then stood up and said, "Greetings, Prince Lu. I've come to see Yunxi."

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Palace Master Chu, please rest assured, Yunxi is doing very well in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. I have not mistreated her."

Chu Qingli said, "Thank you for taking care of Yunxi, Prince Lu, and for helping her break through to the mid-stage of the Profound Realm."

Lu Chen said, "Palace Master Chu, you are too kind. Yunxi is, after all, my woman, and it is my duty to help her improve her strength."

At this point, Lu Chen asked with a hint of doubt, "Palace Master Chu, what important matter brings you to Guangling City this time?"

Lu Chen naturally didn't believe that Chu Qingli came to Guangling City just to see Mu Yunxi. She must have something important to do, and most likely she was here to see the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

Chu Qingli sighed softly, then said, "To be honest, Young Master Lu, the Great Zhou Dynasty, in alliance with the Qionghua Holy Land, intends to destroy the Tianxuan Palace."

"I had no choice but to disband Tianxuan Palace and then fled to Guangling City, intending to seek the protection of Zhennan Prince's Mansion."

At this point, Chu Qingli glanced at Lu Chen's expression, wanting to see his reaction.

However, Lu Chen's face remained expressionless.

He walked to the round table, pulled out a stool, and sat down.

He then pulled Mu Yunxi into his arms, letting her sit on his lap, and wrapped his arms around her slender waist. It all seemed so natural, as if he did this all the time.

Of course, he does do this often.

Seeing Lu Chen touching her inappropriately in front of her master, Mu Yunxi immediately felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't resist. She and Lu Chen had already consummated their marriage, so this kind of hugging and cuddling was nothing.

Seeing that Lu Chen's attention seemed to be on Mu Yunxi, Chu Qingli was about to continue speaking when Lu Chen spoke up, "If Palace Master Chu is willing to stay in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, then I will naturally welcome you. Palace Master Chu, please rest assured, with the Zhennan Prince's Mansion here, no one can harm you."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Chu Qingli hesitated, as if she wanted to speak but couldn't. She hadn't expected Lu Chen to agree so easily, and she felt there was some kind of conspiracy involved. Chu Qingli then asked, "What are your conditions, Young Master Lu?"

Lu Chen's hand slowly moved down from Mu Yunxi's waist, finally landing on her thigh, gently stroking it, and then he said, "Isn't Tianxuan Palace cooperating with our Zhennan Prince's Mansion? Protecting our partners is what we should do."

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Chu Qingli became even more vigilant. Free things are often the most expensive, and the absence of conditions sometimes indicates that the other party has a bigger scheme.

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly thought of something and asked, "Why would the Great Zhou Dynasty join forces with the Qionghua Holy Land to deal with the Tianxuan Palace?"

Chu Qingli replied, "Qionghua Holy Land is also a force in Zhongzhou. They also want the inheritance within the ancient ruins. For them, naturally, the fewer people, the better."

Lu Chen said, "So that's how it is."

At this moment, Chu Qingli took the initiative to ask, "Young Master Lu, I've heard that your Zhennan Prince's Mansion has a dual cultivation technique at the Earth Realm level. I wonder if I could exchange this dual cultivation technique with you using a magic weapon?"

"If Young Master Lu doesn't need a magic weapon, I can exchange it with the Zhennan Prince's Mansion using other cultivation techniques."

Upon hearing Chu Qingli mention the dual cultivation technique, Lu Chen knew that Mu Yunxi must have told Chu Qingli about it.

Lu Chen then said, "We don't want any magic weapons or cultivation techniques."

"If Palace Master Chu wants that dual cultivation technique, he only needs to agree to one condition."

Chu Qingli asked, "What are the conditions?"

Lu Chen's lips curled up slightly, and then he said, "Palace Master Chu wants this dual cultivation technique, presumably for cultivation purposes as well, right?"

Chu Qingli replied, "Of course."

Lu Chen continued, "This is a dual cultivation technique. If Palace Master Chu wishes to cultivate this technique, she must find a man to unite with. Does Palace Master Chu already have a Daoist partner she desires?"

Chu Qingli replied, "Not yet. But once I obtain this cultivation technique, I will select a talented person from the Tianxuan Palace to cultivate with."

Lu Chen stared intently at Chu Qingli and asked, "Instead of looking for someone else, why not just come to me, Palace Master Chu? What do you think?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Chu Qingli was stunned. She instantly understood what Lu Chen's conditions were.

Mu Yunxi, sitting in Lu Chen's lap, had her brows furrowed.

This guy really is trying to harm their palace master.

Now it depends on what her master thinks. But knowing her master as she does, she'll probably agree.

After all, cultivating this dual cultivation technique could very well allow her to break through to the Heavenly Realm. Once she breaks through to the Heavenly Realm, when the ruins reappear, other forces in the Central Continent will no longer be able to compete with the Heavenly Profound Palace for the ancient inheritance within the ruins.

Chu Qingli quickly regained her composure and said expressionlessly, "Young Master Lu, you're not joking with me, are you?"

Lu Chen said, "I never joke. Could it be that Palace Master Chu thinks my talent is lacking? Does he look down on me?"

Chu Qingli quickly said, "Young Master Lu, I had absolutely no such intention, it's just..."

At this point, Chu Qingli hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

To be honest, she really looked down on the natives of the borderlands.

Of course, she couldn't say it directly.

Although she planned to improve her strength through dual cultivation, she still needed to find someone from the Central Plains to cultivate with someone from the borderlands. If the people of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land found out about this, they might laugh at her.

Although she didn't value chastity that much, she did care about her reputation.

Seeing that Chu Qingli hesitated to speak, Lu Chen continued, "If Palace Master Chu is willing, I can personally teach you that dual cultivation technique tonight and guide you in your cultivation."

As soon as Lu Chen finished speaking, Mu Yunxi showed a look of disgust. What did he mean by "guidance"? He clearly just wanted to sleep with her.

Chu Qingli was struggling internally.

On the one hand, she really didn't want to have that kind of relationship with a barren, remote person.

On the other hand, she really wanted this dual cultivation technique for the Earth Realm.

Moreover, she wasn't stupid. Since Lu Chen had brought up the idea of ​​cultivating with her, it proved that Lu Chen had probably been eyeing her for a long time.

When she last came to Guangling City, she noticed that Lu Chen's gaze was very intense, as if he wanted to devour her alive.

To be honest, if Mu Yunxi hadn't stayed at the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, she would have strongly suspected that Lu Chen had forcibly kept her there and taken her last time.

Judging from the current situation, if she doesn't agree to cultivate with Lu Chen, Lu Chen will definitely not teach her this technique.

Furthermore, even if she didn't agree to cultivate with Lu Chen, there was a high probability that Lu Chen would use other means to obtain her body.

She's walked into the lion's den.

With that Heavenly Realm expert from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion around, even if Lu Chen wanted to sleep with her, she wouldn't dare to resist.

So instead of refusing, it's better to go along with it and use the opportunity of wanting this dual cultivation manual to have sex with Lu Chen.

Thinking of this, Chu Qingli said, "Young Master Lu, I agree to your conditions."

Seeing that Chu Qingli had agreed, Lu Chen smiled and said, "In that case, Palace Master Chu, please make your preparations. I will come to your room tonight to teach you the cultivation technique." (End of Chapter)
