Chapter 366: Chapter 246 Rumor_1

Hearing Lu Chen’s reply, the women were taken aback for a moment, before they quickly realized what was happening.

Yunrong Courtyard? Isn’t that Chen Wanrong?

Mu Zixuan immediately said, “Congratulations, Prince, on gaining another beauty.”

Lu Chen just smiled.

Chu Qingli was staring at Lu Chen with a deep gaze at that moment.

She couldn’t help but think, another beauty? This scoundrel hasn’t just gained one beauty; he had already devoured Lin Wanyun completely, and now he had taken Chen Wanrong as well. Now Lu Chen had added two more women to his list.

This scoundrel truly is audacious to the extreme, even daring to touch the Palace Master of the Mysterious Moon Palace.

The Mysterious Moon Palace is not just any power; there are rumors that the Mysterious Moon Palace has long had beings who have broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm.

Lu Chen really isn’t afraid of death. If he brings Chen Wanrong’s master here, I’d like to see how he manages that situation.

No, I must hurry and complete the transaction with Lu Chen, then take my sister and run away, to avoid being implicated by this scoundrel.

Thinking this, Chu Qingli began to calculate in her heart how many times she had already traded with Lu Chen.

After thinking for a while, Chu Qingli was slightly stunned; she seemed to have forgotten just how many times she had traded with Lu Chen.

This…

How could she have forgotten such a thing?

Now she was in trouble. What if she had already fulfilled the hundred times without knowing it and foolishly went to Lu Chen for another trade?

Chu Qingli inwardly blamed herself for not remembering such an important matter.

At this time, Lu Chen said, “Alright, you all go and attend to your own tasks. I’m going to take a bath, and later I still have state affairs to deal with.”

As his words fell, Lu Chen headed straight for his own room, and the maids of Prince’s Mansion hurriedly set about preparing hot water for him.

After Lu Chen left, Mu Zixuan and the others didn’t disperse; instead, they returned to the main hall to continue enjoying their tea and pastries.

Meanwhile,

In Yunrong Courtyard.

Lin Wanyun had finally waited for Chen Wanrong to return. Seeing Chen Wanrong at the entrance of the courtyard, Lin Wanyun hurriedly got up and walked towards her, “Palace Master, where did you go last night? Are you alright?”

As soon as she approached Chen Wanrong, Lin Wanyun felt the tremendous pressure emanating from her, and she suddenly froze.

Grandmaster!!!

Lin Wanyun said with joy, “Palace Master, have you broken through to the Grandmaster Realm?!”

Chen Wanrong was only in her twenties this year. To have broken through to the Grandmaster Realm at such a young age meant she might be able to break through to the Celestial Realm before she was forty or fifty.

As far as Lin Wanyun knew, the only other person who had broken through to the Grandmaster Realm at such a young age besides Lu Chen was Chen Wanrong.

Lin Wanyun was genuinely happy for Chen Wanrong from the bottom of her heart. With Chen Wanrong’s breakthrough to the Grandmaster Realm, the chances of succeeding in their revenge had increased, and perhaps they could defeat the Sum Emperor without resorting to the Subtle Dragon Spell in the future.

If they didn’t refine the Subtle Dragon Spell, there wouldn’t be a major conflict between them and Lu Chen.

Chen Wanrong responded with a light “Hmm,” not saying much, and she headed straight for the pavilion in the courtyard.

Lin Wanyun quickly followed into the pavilion.

After settling down, Chen Wanrong began, “Madam Lin, I already know about the matter between you and Lu Chen.”

Hearing Chen Wanrong’s words, Lin Wanyun’s heart skipped a beat, and then her complexion turned ashen. Lin Wanyun hastily said, “Palace Master, I…”

Lin Wanyun didn’t know how to explain. Since Chen Wanrong had not returned all of last night and brought up such a matter upon her return, it certainly meant that Chen Wanrong had seen Lu Chen last night, and he had told her everything about their affair.

At this moment, Lin Wanyun was unaware that Chen Wanrong had already witnessed their indiscretions with her own eyes.

“Palace Master, don’t believe what Lu Chen says, I had absolutely no intention of betraying you!”

Seeing Lin Wanyun still trying to argue, Chen Wanrong, with an expressionless face, said straight away, “I had already seen the two of you in the study engaging in that act a long time ago.”

“I…”

Lin Wanyun was at a loss for words, completely unable to argue, since Chen Wanrong had seen everything with her own eyes.

Lin Wanyun was sorely anxious inside; she feared that Chen Wanrong might think she had betrayed her.

At that moment, Lin Wanyun said, “Palace Master, I did all this out of a desperate situation.”

Chen Wanrong said, “Madam Lin, you don’t need to explain; I know you did it to get the antidote for me.”

Relieved that Chen Wanrong knew of her dilemma, Lin Wanyun heaved a sigh of relief. As long as Chen Wanrong didn’t think she had betrayed her, that was enough.

Lin Wanyun breathed deeply and then asked, “Palace Master, what should we do next? You must have met with him last night, right?”

Chen Wanrong “Hmm”ed again and continued, “I have become his woman.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanyun was momentarily stunned, then anger surged within her.

“How… How could this be!”

“That little scoundrel went back on his word; he had clearly promised to spare you!”

Lin Wanyun then started walking out of the pavilion, saying as she went, “I’m going to seek justice from him! He’s a Prince, his word should be as good as gold, yet he went back on it!”

It was then Chen Wanrong said, “Madam Lin, there’s no need to be so angry; it was I who willingly gave myself to him.”

“You…” Lin Wanyun was stunned yet again.

She hadn’t imagined that Chen Wanrong would make such a decision.

Chen Wanrong went on to say, “I was able to break through to the Grandmaster Realm thanks to his help.”

A look of disbelief crossed Lin Wanyun’s face as she asked, “How could he possess a method to enhance someone’s strength?”
