Juicy Gossip? The Empress and the Sect Master Had a History?

Suddenly, Empress Liuye asked this question.

Chen Changqing froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded.

He wondered if his master, Chen Yuan, might have some kind of story with the Empress of the Maple Leaf Dynasty.

What's going on?

"Empress Liuye and Master..."

Chen Changqing was startled, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

"The Empress actually asked if Master was alright?"

"Could it be that she knows Master?"

"And their relationship is quite close?"

At the same time, Liu Ruyan also looked surprised when she heard Empress Liuye ask about Chen Yuan, the Sect Master Mount Shu Mount Shu.

"This?"

"My mother actually knows the Sect Master of the Chen Yuan?"

"It seems their relationship is quite unusual!"

Startled, Chen Changqing quickly regained his composure and replied:

"Return to the Empress."

My master is well.

"I wonder about the Empress and my master..."

Chen Changqing didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was already clear.

She wanted to know the exact relationship between Empress Liuye and her master, Chen Yuan.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan looked directly at Empress Liuye, her eyes filled with curiosity.

She went to the Shu Mountain Sacred Land under the arrangement of Empress Liuye.

However, what Liu Ruyan found strange was...

If Empress Liuye truly had a connection with Sect Master Chen Yuan, why didn't she use her connections to directly recruit her into the Inner Sect of Mount Shu?

Instead, she was allowed to join the Outer Sect of Mount Shu and grow step by step before finally entering Mount Shu Inner Sect for cultivation.

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's question, Empress Liuye did not rush to answer. She slightly raised her eyes, her gaze drifting into the distance.

He looked as if he was reminiscing about something.

After a long while, Empress Liuye finally regained her composure and said calmly:

"Your master and I were from the same lineage back then."

He's my senior brother!

Upon hearing Empress Liuye's words, Chen Changqing was deeply shaken.

I feel like I've stumbled upon a huge bombshell!

Are they senior and junior brothers/sisters?

"Judging from the Empress's appearance, she's even more terrifying than that!"

"It seems there must be some unknown secret between Master and the Empress!"

Chen Changqing muttered to himself.

It was obvious that Empress Liuye and her master Chen Yuan must have some hidden past.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan was also filled with surprise.

"This?"

"The Empress Dowager and the Sect Master are actually from the same lineage?"

"And they're even fellow students?"

She looked surprised, as if she couldn't believe it.

After all, having grown up, I never knew that my mother had such a connection with Mount Shu.

Just as the two were surprised, Empress Liuye smiled slightly and said:

"Senior Brother Chen Yuan, you've taken on some excellent disciples!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Chen Changqing.

As for Chen Yuan's disciples.

Empress Liuye was aware of this.

Needless to say, the eldest disciple, Jian Zhenzi, had been the undisputed number one on the Azure Dragon Ranking before Chen Changqing's meteoric rise to prominence, dominating the younger generation of his time!

Currently, Jian Zhenzi's name is no longer on the Azure Dragon Ranking.

It is clear that he has already entered the Nascent Soul stage.

And Chen Changqing, this Personal Disciple, was also extraordinary.

At such a young age, he dethroned Jian Zhenzi from the Azure Dragon Ranking.

"His other three disciples, if they hadn't perished on the Immortal-Demon Battlefield..."

"Each of them should be a leading figure on the Nine Provinces Continent."

Empress Liuye sighed inwardly.

Then, she took a deep breath, her gaze sweeping over Chen Changqing and Liu Ruyan for a moment before she said:

"Alright."

"You all go back and prepare well!"

"The Hundred Dynasties War will begin in three days!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Changqing and Liu Ruyan snapped out of their daze and bowed deeply to Empress Liuye.

"Yes, Empress!"

"Yes, Mother!"

Then, the two did not linger and bid farewell to the Empress before departing.

After leaving the Imperial Garden, Liu Ruyan couldn't contain her curiosity and asked:

"Changqing Brother Changqing."

"What exactly is the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Sect Master?"

Chen Changqing feigned surprise and replied:

"Senior sister."

"Didn't the Empress just make it very clear?"

"Since her master is her senior brother, they are naturally senior and junior siblings!"

Upon hearing Chen Changqing's reply, Liu Ruyan was stunned for a moment, her lips pursed, but she was speechless again after being told off by Chen Changqing.

She wanted to know, and it was certainly not as simple as a senior-junior relationship.

Not long after, Chen Changqing and Liu Ruyan returned to the mansion.

As soon as he returned to the manor, Liu Tian immediately came forward to greet him.

"Daughter!"

Why did your mother keep you and Changqing behind?

Liu Tian looked on with curiosity.

"This?"

Liu Ruyan hesitated, unsure whether she should reveal that her mother was concerned about the Chen Yuan Sect Master.

Chen Changqing remained calm and did not respond.

In his view, this was Liu Ruyan's family matter, and as an outsider, he shouldn't interfere.

"Um?"

Seeing Liu Ruyan's hesitant expression, Liu Tian frowned and asked softly:

Why aren't you saying anything?

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes.

Feeling that she shouldn't hide it from Liu Tian, she truthfully told him about Empress Liuye's question regarding Chen Yuan.

What surprised Liu Ruyan was...

After listening to what she said, Liu Tian's expression remained largely unchanged; instead, he smiled calmly and said:

"So you were asking about Chen Yuan!"

Seeing Liu Tian's composure, Liu Ruyan frowned slightly and asked:

"Father."

"You know about the Empress Dowager's affair with Chen Yuan Sect Master Chenyuan?"

Liu Tian smiled faintly and nodded, saying:

"Certainly."

"Your mother also cultivated herself at Mount Shu back then."

"After completing his studies, he returned and participated in the Hundred Dynasties War, finally gaining the right to inherit the Maple Leaf Dynasty!"

"I met your mother during the Hundred Dynasties War of that year."

After Liu Tian explained it to her, Liu Ruyan understood and didn't ask any further questions.

Just then, Chen Changqing suddenly looked at Liu Tian and asked:

"By the way, Uncle."

"What are the specific rules of this Hundred Dynasties War?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Tian was slightly surprised and glanced at Liu Ruyan, seemingly unintentionally.

He originally thought that since Liu Ruyan had found Chen Changqing to be her ally, she should have already told Chen Changqing the rules of the Hundred Dynasties War.

But now it seems that Liu Ruyan did not explain in detail to Chen Changqing.

After a slight pause, Liu Tian didn't think much of it and replied directly:

"Young friend Changqing."

"The rules of this Hundred Dynasties War are very simple."

"Once activated, all participants will be teleported to a Secret Realm."

"That Secret Realm is inhabited by numerous Devil Creatures."

"Killing one will earn you the corresponding Points."

"Of course..."

At this point, Liu Tian paused, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, and continued:

"If you don't want to gain Points by killing Devil Creature, you can also steal Points from other people!"

"In short, it's all about who gets the most Points, and there are absolutely no restrictions on the methods used!"

"Besides, there are also various fortuitous opportunity within that Secret Realm."

"Cultivation Method, spirit medicine, Law Artifact... even some ancient traditions are possible."
