Chapter 2215 - 1905: Is This All the Strength Blood Cloud Tower Has?

Prince Zhen Nan came back to his senses and asked, "What kind of special physique?"

Lu Chen said, "I can’t really say, but it’s different from ordinary people."

Prince Zhen Nan continued, "If this special physique cannot be displayed and ordinary people can’t see it, then it might be difficult for others to help you find such a woman."

If Lu Chen indeed needs such a woman for Dual Cultivation, then the Prince’s Mansion would certainly mobilize a lot of manpower and resources to help Lu Chen find her. But the key issue is they don’t know what makes this special physique different from ordinary people and can only rely on Lu Chen’s intuition.

If that’s the case, then only Lu Chen can search for these special physiques, and others can’t help much. To find those women with special physiques among the vast sea of people based on Lu Chen’s intuition alone, that’s easier said than done.

Lu Chen said at this moment, "Father, I know some women might have that special physique. I will directly send people to search for them when the time comes."

Prince Zhen Nan’s deep eyes glanced at Lu Chen. He didn’t ask how Lu Chen knew those women had the physique he needed. The more means Lu Chen has, the better it is for the Prince’s Mansion.

Prince Zhen Nan said, "If that’s the case, then let’s do it this way. If you need anything during your martial arts practice, talk to Wei Heng."

Lu Chen replied, "Understood."

"Father, if there isn’t anything else, I’ll take my leave."

Prince Zhen Nan said, "Hmm, alright."

Then Lu Chen saluted Prince Zhen Nan on the bed once more and immediately left the room.

After Lu Chen left, Prince Zhen Nan sighed deeply, realizing he could hardly help Lu Chen now.

Once he dies, regardless of the arrangements he made before, they probably won’t have any effect. Now he can only hope Lu Chen will prevail and grow to support the entire Prince’s Mansion.

Who knows if the Royal Family will allow the Prince’s Mansion to continue existing?

Perhaps the only thing he can do for Lu Chen now is to live a little longer to awe those forces that seek to harm the Prince’s Mansion.

...

Third Prince Mansion.

Upon hearing his subordinate’s report, Ji Yan instantly flew into a rage, unable to control the Spirit Evil Qi emanating from him, which stirred everything in the hall into chaos.

After a while, Ji Yan gradually calmed down. After all, it’s just a woman to him; the position of Crown Prince is what’s most important. When he becomes Emperor one day, what kind of woman wouldn’t he have?

Yet, internally, he’s very displeased that such an excellent woman like Bai Qingqing ended up with a waste like Lu Chen.

Ji Yan scoffed, "Waste, all a bunch of waste. Is Blood Cloud Tower this competent? Didn’t they say as long as the money is enough, they could even kill an Earth Realm strong person? How come they can’t even make a waste lose their ability?"

Listening to Ji Yan’s words, the reporting guard and Fang Xin remained silent, realizing it’s best to wait until Ji Yan finishes venting his anger.

After a long time, Ji Yan’s anger subsided considerably, and he looked to the guards in front of him and said, "You mentioned the Prince’s Mansion dismissed numerous servants today, including those we planted there?"

The guard instantly replied, "Yes, Your Highness, according to the information from those dismissed spies, it’s said that Lu Chen precisely identified the spies planted by other forces in the Prince’s Mansion today."

Hearing this, Ji Yan was somewhat incredulous. Were these spies discovered by Lu Chen?

How did Lu Chen do it?

Or did someone give Lu Chen a list?

Ji Yan said, "This should be the Hidden Guard from the Prince’s Mansion who gave Lu Chen the list. It looks like the Hidden Guard of the Prince’s Mansion isn’t completely inept."

The guard reporting the information immediately said, "According to the spies, it seems this matter has nothing to do with the Hidden Guard; it truly was Lu Chen alone who found them out. It’s reported Lu Chen learned a magic called the Person Recognition Skill from somewhere, capable of discerning if someone has betrayed the Prince’s Mansion!"

This...

"Magic?" Ji Yan furrowed his brows.

"He’s an ordinary person; where did he learn this magic?"

Lu Chen is neither a Spirit Martial Artist nor a Confucian Cultivator, nor related to the Taoist Sect, completely an ordinary person. How could he possibly know any magic?

The guard said, "It’s heard that now Lu Chen is no longer an ordinary person. This morning, he apparently became a Spirit Martial Artist and even broke through to the Mortal Realm."

"Impossible!" The words spilled out from Ji Yan’s mouth; he had never heard of such a thing.

If the Prince’s Mansion truly grasped the method to transform adult ordinary people into Spirit Martial Artists, it wouldn’t have declined to its current state.

The guard continued, "This was seen firsthand by those spies; Lu Chen indeed carries Spirit Evil Qi."

Fang Xin interjected at this time, "It’s quite strange, since Lu Chen has found all these spies, why let them all go?"

The guard added, "Not only them, the Prince’s Mansion also released some servants who wanted to leave, and even the Deputy Commander of the Zhen Nan Army, Wu Feng, left the Prince’s Mansion."

Ji Yan’s face alternated between light and dark, unknown thoughts occupying his mind.

After a while, Ji Yan looked at Fang Xin and asked, "Fang Xin, what do you think?"

Fang Xin pondered and said, "Perhaps it is what Prince Zhen Nan wants? He doesn’t wish to offend the forces behind the spies, to prevent all forces from targeting the Prince’s Mansion after his death."

Ji Yan said plainly, "Prince Zhen Nan, after all, is an Earth Realm strong person. I don’t believe he would beg for mercy from those who planted spies in his mansion."

In terms of behavior, releasing the spies is equivalent to begging those forces not to bother the Prince’s Mansion, saying, "We’ve let your people go, don’t bother us anymore."

If other princes faced such a situation, there would be heads rolling.

Ji Yan looked at the guard and asked, "Is there anything else missing?"

The guard immediately said, "There is one more thing. Today, the steward of the Prince’s Mansion publicly handed the Seal of Prince Zhen Nan to Lu Chen and issued Prince Zhen Nan’s Order. From now on, the entire Prince’s Mansion is handed over to Lu Chen’s care, and everyone, including the Zhen Nan Army, must obey Lu Chen’s commands."

Ji Yan said, "It seems he’s arranging his affairs. Could Princess Zhen Nan indeed worry that after his death, those forces will retaliate, hence why he lets those spies leave?"

Fang Xin reminded, "Your Highness, what we should focus on isn’t the release of the spies by the Prince’s Mansion; don’t you want to know how Lu Chen, an ordinary person, became a Spirit Martial Artist?"
