Chapter 1745: Chapter 1435: She Really Did Develop Those Forbidden Feelings for This Man

The battle at the Jade Dragon Sect greatly boosted the morale of the Profound Moon Palace’s side, especially when Ling Yin Immortal King appeared and quickly defeated the Ghostly Evil Immortal King’s soul projection. This news spread quickly among the affiliated sects of the Profound Moon Palace, causing some wavering affiliated sects to temporarily settle down.

However, although the war was over, the elders of the Profound Moon Palace were not very happy because this war had seriously injured the Hall Master’s direct disciple.

All the Immortal Monarchs were pondering how to explain this to their Hall Master once he came out of seclusion.

In the room filled with the scent of medicine, Lu Chen’s Heavenly Immortal clone lay quietly on the bed, his face devoid of any color, as pale as a corpse, looking as if he was on the brink of death.

Ye Chuyao stood by the bedside, seeing Lu Chen in this state, her heart was filled with immense worry. She very much wanted to ask her Honored Master to come out of seclusion to see if there was a way to help Lu Chen recover.

Just then, Lu Chen suddenly coughed, and Ye Chuyao quickly asked, “Junior Brother, how are you feeling now?”

At this time, Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes. To be honest, if it wasn’t for Ye Chuyao constantly watching over this body, Lu Chen would have wanted to give it up. This body had severed meridians all over, a shattered Dantian, and the Immortal Aura within was almost completely dissipated, with life force constantly ebbing away.

Lu Chen weakly said, “Senior… Senior Sister… I’m… fine…”

Seeing Lu Chen’s appearance of bravado, Ye Chuyao felt even more distressed. She believed that Lu Chen wasn’t a fool; he must be aware of his body’s condition by now. Saying he’s okay was definitely him forcing himself to not worry her.

Ye Chuyao really wanted to question Lu Chen on why he hadn’t used the life-saving treasure their Honored Master gave him. As a direct disciple, their Honored Master would surely have left them a life-saving jade scroll, capable of withstanding a full strike from an Immortal Monarch without any issue whatsoever.

But Lu Chen hadn’t used it. Not only that, he had confronted the opponent head-on. A Heavenly Immortal going head-to-head with an Immortal Monarch was courting death.

Though she was a bit angry with Lu Chen’s reckless behavior, seeing him like this, there wasn’t much more she felt she could say.

She now only hoped that Lu Chen could recover.

Lu Chen then said, “Senior Sister, you should go cultivate. Don’t keep watching over me. If Honored Master finds out you’re always here and your cultivation is delayed, she might blame me again.”

Hearing this, Ye Chuyao felt even more distressed. She didn’t know what was wrong with her. Clearly, it was just due to some misunderstanding that she and this Junior Brother ended up in a moment of fleeting passion; it was just a mere act of passion. As an Immortal, it was impossible to fall in love with someone over one act of passion.

But now, she was indeed feeling very troubled. Ye Chuyao couldn’t help but wonder, could it be that she had indeed developed some emotions for him that she shouldn’t have?

Ye Chuyao said, “It’s fine. Since the Evil Immortals invaded, I can’t calm down to cultivate anyway.”

Lu Chen gazed at Ye Chuyao’s cold and beautiful jade-like face and then said, “Senior Sister, if Honored Master comes out of seclusion and finds I’ve become a cripple, will she expel me from the Profound Moon Palace?”

Ye Chuyao immediately said, “Don’t overthink. Honored Master isn’t like that.”

Lu Chen said, “Honored Master is already worried about me disturbing your cultivation. The main reason she kept me here in the first place was because she saw that I had some talent. Now that I’ve become a cripple, she has no reason to keep me in the Profound Moon Palace. Once I’m expelled, no one in the palace will bother you in your cultivation again.”

Hearing this, Ye Chuyao fell into silence. If Lu Chen’s body truly couldn’t recover, perhaps their Honored Master might indeed make him leave the Profound Moon Palace.

Although their Honored Master wouldn’t be heartless enough to abandon Lu Chen to fend for himself outside, she might very well let him go live in the Immortal City.

Thinking of this, Ye Chuyao didn’t know how to comfort Lu Chen.

Lu Chen was still gazing into Ye Chuyao’s eyes. Seeing her silent, he continued, “Before Honored Master expels me from the Profound Moon Palace, I have one wish. I wonder if Senior Sister would grant it for me.”

Ye Chuyao snapped back to reality and asked, “What wish? Tell me. As long as it’s something that Senior Sister can help you with, she’ll do everything she can to fulfill it.”

Lu Chen said, “Ever since I was apart from Senior Sister, I’ve been longing for you, to the point where I can’t even focus on cultivation.”

“I know that now I’ve become a cripple and am unworthy of you, but before I leave the Profound Moon Palace, I want to have some beautiful memories with you. That way, even if I’m expelled, I would have no regrets.”

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Ye Chuyao was momentarily stunned. She immediately understood what Lu Chen meant.

Even in his current state, he was still thinking of being with her.

Was he truly so infatuated with her?

If he was truly so infatuated, why did he agree to Honored Master’s decision to marry Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun?

Ye Chuyao fell into a long silence.

To her, such affairs shouldn’t matter much. After all, she had already done such things with Lu Chen, so one more time or one less wouldn’t make much of a difference.

But still, Ye Chuyao felt conflicted. If her Honored Master were to find out that she once again engaged in such behavior with Lu Chen, would she worry about him lingering after being kicked out of the Profound Moon Palace and then toss him into the mortal world to fend for himself?

If Lu Chen was still in the Immortal City, it would be easy for her to see him, since there was a Transmission Array between the Immortal City and the Profound Moon Palace. However, if Lu Chen were thrown into a mortal city or kingdom, finding him again would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Though she assumed Lu Chen would likely be expelled, the thought of never being able to see him again pained her heart.

With a slight sigh, Ye Chuyao thought to herself.

Indeed, she had developed those emotions for this man.

Seeing Lu Chen’s pale, handsome face and his longing eyes, Ye Chuyao ultimately couldn’t bear to refuse him. She thought, considering they had already shared such moments, a couple more wouldn’t matter, as long as Honored Master didn’t find out.

Thinking this, Ye Chuyao said to Lu Chen, “Okay, I promise you, but you have to wait until you’re recovered. Then, I’ll take you to the Immortal City.”

Such things couldn’t be done in the Profound Moon Palace. If done here, one Divine Thought from her Honored Master could detect it.

Since Lu Chen might be sent to the Immortal City, she might as well choose a suitable city for him.

Seeing Ye Chuyao agree, Lu Chen happily said, “Thank you, Senior Sister!”

Ye Chuyao then said, “Rest well first. I’ll go inform the two junior sisters.”

She couldn’t just take someone else’s darling without saying anything, especially since Xiao Xueying and Cao Shiyun were her junior sisters.
