Lou Lan Shengxue's Invitation, First Conversation

At the same time, Lou Lan Shengxue's basic information also fell into Chen Wen's eyes.

[Name: Lou Lan Shengxue]
[Age: 18]
[Personality: Wise, calm, ambitious, outwardly warm but inwardly cold...]
[Identity: Eldest Princess and current Saintess of the reclusive ancient kingdom, the Ancient Kingdom of Roran, in the Archaic Desolate Realm.]
[Destiny Soul: Seven-Colored]
[Physique: Destiny Empress Body]
[Realm: Ninth Rebirth Life and Death Realm]

Lou Lan Shengxue?

Isn't that my fiancée's name?

Seven-Colored Destiny Soul.

Destiny Empress Body.

Ninth Rebirth Life and Death Realm at eighteen years old.

This... is simply invincible.

Soon, Chen Wen was once again captivated by Lou Lan Shengxue's Destiny Soul and physique.

A Legendary Grade Destiny Soul, its power was self-evident.

But what truly shocked him was the Destiny Empress Body.

It could be considered one of the most top-tier physiques, and it was the kind that gathered the ultimate destiny.

Upon reaching great mastery, the Empress Body could integrate destiny into itself, drawing upon the destiny of heaven and earth, becoming the Mother of Heaven and Earth, supreme throughout eternity.

What is a true Son of Destiny?

This is it.

Chen Wen suppressed the turmoil in his heart and sighed inwardly.

Just then, Lou Lan Shengxue spoke first, "Lou Lan Shengxue."

"Ye Wuqing," Chen Wen withdrew his thoughts and replied.

"Aren't you going to invite me in for a sit-down?" Lou Lan Shengxue asked.

"Please," Chen Wen said calmly.

Lou Lan Shengxue's reaction was quite unexpected.

He was also very curious about Lou Lan Shengxue's attitude.

"Lü'er, you wait here."

Lou Lan Shengxue dropped the sentence and then strode towards the palace.

Interesting.

Chen Wen chuckled and also walked in.

"Wait, we're still kneeling here."

Everyone was bewildered.

What was their relationship?

Ji Youyue looked at Jiang Taichu, as if asking.

She knew Lou Lan Shengxue quite well.

The two could be considered both mentor and friend.

But she had never seen Lou Lan Shengxue so proactive.

Whether it was overtures from disciples of the Holy Land or deliberate approaches from talented disciples of other sects, she had never shown any favor.

Her greatest interests, besides cultivation, were playing chess and playing the zither.

She could say that even as a woman, she felt Lou Lan Shengxue was a flawless person.

Now, what she couldn't understand was why Lou Lan Shengxue would invite Chen Wen, and so proactively at that.

Could it be that she was also attracted by Chen Wen's identity?

Jiang Taichu shrugged.

He didn't know either.

Jiang Qingren's expression was unreadable, lost in thought.

Meanwhile, Chen Wen led Lou Lan Shengxue into the inner hall.

Lou Lan Shengxue sat down, first poured a cup of Spiritual Tea for Chen Wen, and then poured one for herself.

Chen Wen glanced at Lou Lan Shengxue, and without any pretense, took a sip.

"I heard Young Master Ye was looking for me. What is it?" Lou Lan Shengxue took a sip of tea before speaking.

Chen Wen said flippantly, "This young master is lacking a bed warmer, and your Saintess status is barely good enough for me."

"So, I was wondering if you were interested."

"Young Master Ye, you're joking."

Lou Lan Shengxue wasn't angry and said leisurely, "Of course, if you truly have a need, this humble one can help you find a suitable person."

This woman is interesting.

As a princess of a major power, she can remain calm and composed even when being so brazenly teased.

She's truly not simple.

Chen Wen's lips curved slightly.

He had been observing Lou Lan Shengxue's expression the entire time.

But he found that every word she spoke was sincere, not perfunctory at all.

In other words, she genuinely wanted to help him find a bed warmer.

This kind of fiancée is either incredibly stupid or extremely intelligent.

But what is her motive?

There's no such thing as unprovoked kindness in this world, nor unprovoked hatred.

"What if I'm only interested in you?" Chen Wen's tone became leisurely, his gaze carrying a hint of aggression.

Lou Lan Shengxue paused in her movements, "This humble one is already betrothed. I hope Young Master Ye can understand."

"What's a betrothal? It can be broken. This young master can bear the consequences."

As he spoke, Chen Wen suddenly leaned closer to Lou Lan Shengxue, his posture somewhat intimate.

A unique personal fragrance immediately entered his nostrils, a scent that was subtle and refreshing, making one unable to resist taking a deep inhale.

Due to Chen Wen's transgression, Lou Lan Shengxue's expression finally turned serious: "Young Master Ye, please conduct yourself with dignity. I won't say the same thing a second time."

Chen Wen gave Lou Lan Shengxue a deep look before sitting back down, "You came to find me, it shouldn't be just to hear me talk, right?"

Lou Lan Shengxue picked up another cup of Spiritual Tea and took a sip before saying, "Since we've come this far, I won't beat around the bush."

She then fixed her intelligent gaze on Chen Wen and said, "You are specifically targeting Chen Wen, aren't you?"

Of course, the Chen Wen mentioned by Lou Lan Shengxue was Chu Tianlong, who was impersonating him.

Chen Wen's expression remained unchanged, "So what if I am, and so what if I'm not?"

"I don't care why you're doing this, nor do I want to know what happened. This matter ends here."

Lou Lan Shengxue then changed the subject, "I can make the decision. No one will hold you responsible."

"I hope you will think carefully and not waste your talent."

Lou Lan Shengxue had some guesses about Chen Wen's background.

Others might be intimidated by the Imperial Sword, but as someone from a reclusive ancient kingdom, she had seen true Imperial Swords before.

She could sense the imperial might from Chen Wen's Imperial Sword, but it was still very immature.

If one were to compare Imperial Weapons to people, it would only be in its infancy.

The only explanation for this situation, besides being born naturally, was no other.

Therefore, she could be sure this was definitely not an Imperial Weapon passed down through family inheritance.

Besides, even if Chen Wen's Imperial Weapon was a family heirloom, it wouldn't be enough to make them fear him.

Not to mention that she came from a reclusive ancient kingdom, her future husband's paternal clan was a Destiny Imperial Clan, and his maternal clan was also a Destiny Imperial Clan.

With these three great powers combined, they had nothing to fear from any force under heaven.

Chen Wen coldly sneered, "On what grounds can you make decisions for him? Could it be that your fiancé is him?"

Lou Lan Shengxue neither denied nor admitted, "Whether it is or not, it doesn't matter to you at all."

Heh, it seems that even if these two aren't involved, they are definitely not unrelated.

It just depends on how far their relationship has developed.

A look of understanding flashed through Chen Wen's mind, and then he said, "What if I refuse?"

Lou Lan Shengxue looked at Chen Wen, her eyes showing no fluctuation, "As I said, the choice is entirely yours. I just hope you can bear the consequences."

"Heh, if things were as confident as you say, you wouldn't be here acting as a mediator."

As he spoke, Chen Wen changed the subject, "I don't have many other strengths, but my head is pretty hard."

"I'm going to take him down, and you can come at me if you have the guts."

Lou Lan Shengxue stared intently at Chen Wen, a cold glint surging in her eyes.

In her opinion, Chen Wen was refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.

But soon, her expression returned to its calm state.

"Fine, then I'll keep a close eye on things."

With that, Lou Lan Shengxue got up and walked out.

But the moment she turned, her brow furrowed, her face filled with contemplation.

After a long pause, she let out a long sigh, as if a decision had been made.

Watching Lou Lan Shengxue's retreating back, Chen Wen's eyes narrowed into slits.

Just now, he had sensed a fleeting killing intent from her.

Whether this was because she wanted to kill him for Chu Tianlong, or for some other reason, he couldn't tell.

But things were getting more and more interesting.

He wanted to see what kind of reaction she would have once Chu Tianlong's identity was exposed.

Similarly, this conversation had made him abandon the idea of revealing his identity to Lou Lan Shengxue beforehand.

Some people were not what they seemed.

Some matters were not as simple as they appeared.

He would never be foolish enough to put himself in a precarious position.

"Young Master, I have something important to report," Jiang Taichu's voice came in at that moment.

Chen Wen then withdrew his cold demeanor and said, "Come in."
