Someone was in the house!
Thanks to his high Divine Soul attribute, Wang Chen's senses had always been sharp.
After his stat points increased, they had become even keener.
It was precisely this acute perception that warned Wang Chen: an immense threat lay within the room ahead!
"Is that my nephew?"
Just as Wang Chen was about to retreat, a deep voice reached his ears. "I am your uncle."
Uncle?
Wang Chen halted, a memory instantly surfacing in his mind.
A memory belonging to the original owner of this body.
Lu Defang, Wang Shaoyuan's friend from the sect!
Five years ago, after Wang Shaoyuan vanished while exploring Tianyun Mountain, little Wang Chen had become an orphan. It was through Lu Defang's recommendation that he had entered the Yunyang Sect and become an Outer Sect Spirit Planter.
This ninth-layer Qi Condensation cultivator had also been the original owner's sole pillar of support within the sect!
The original owner trusted Lu Defang deeply and had always regarded him as family.
When the original owner had first settled here, Lu Defang would come by to visit every few days.
Later, however, his visits became fewer and farther between.
The last time the original owner had seen Lu Defang was more than half a year ago!
Even so, the original owner remained deeply grateful to Lu Defang and held a strong filial affection for him.
But Wang Chen now occupied this body.
"Uncle?"
After a moment of hesitation, Wang Chen revealed a pleasantly surprised expression. "What brings you here?"
His thoughts raced. Rather than retreating, he advanced and stepped into the room.
Though he did not know why he had felt such extreme danger just now, Lu Defang had no reason to harm the original owner. Wang Chen therefore forced himself to calm down
