Peerless Divine Eyes

"Previously, when I checked Lu Chen's neck, he wasn't wearing a necklace; he probably took it off because he thought it would hinder his cultivation and let his servant girl, Qin Yaotiao, keep it for him."

"Rest assured, I will definitely get my hands on that jade pendant. But if that couple's fate is unknown and they come back alive, won't that be troublesome for me?"

"Just wait a little longer. The day after tomorrow at noon, he will die on the Life-and-Death Platform in Yuzhou City! It has nothing to do with me if Lu Zhan makes a move. As long as the jade pendant isn't on Lu Chen, it must be in the Lu Family's possession!"

"Giggle, are you jealous because I got to sleep with Lu Zhan? Too bad, he's useless. If I hadn't deliberately accommodated him, he wouldn't last three breaths!"

Lu Chen hid behind a large rock, pressing his body to the ground, filled with anger. He was itching to kill Xu Yueru right then and there! But reason told him that the bigger picture was more important!

Xu Yueru must die, but not at this moment!

Moreover, there was another question: who was Xu Yueru talking to?

This place was clearly empty except for her!

Also, he had confirmed that Xu Yueru indeed came for his jade pendant!

Could it be that she also knew the secret of the Hentian lineage?

"No matter, the day after tomorrow, I'll kill Lu Zhan in broad daylight and then wait in Yuzhou City for Xu Yueru to show up! Then I'll capture her and make her reveal everything she knows about the secret of the pupil!"

Lu Chen's mind was as clear as a mirror; the secret of the Hentian lineage's pupil might be related to his parents' disappearance!

This would be perfect for taking revenge and then fleeing far away!

Although the Lu Family was powerful in Yuzhou City, they weren't capable of covering the sky with one hand!

If they dared to lay a hand on him in public, they would surely break the rules of Yuzhou City...

Lu Chen quietly waited for Xu Yueru to leave, then he picked up Lu Shisan's body once again and threw it down the cliff.

He returned the same way to the room where Qin Yaotiao had already cooked the rice porridge and poured it into a bowl, carefully blowing on it with her little mouth to cool it down a bit more quickly.

"Yaotiao, you eat too."

Lu Chen took the bowl and said with a smile.

"Young Master, I'm not hungry yet; I'll eat after you finish!"

Seeing this, Lu Chen did not insist any further. Qin Yaotiao had always had this habit, and he had already decided that he would take her with him when he left and then get her to change this habit.

Her hands now free, Qin Yaotiao propped her elbows on the little wooden table, cradling her cheek in her palms, looking adoringly at the profile of Lu Chen's face.

It was only after Lu Chen put down the bowl that Qin Yaotiao felt satisfied and got up to take the bowl, "Young Master, let me serve you another bowl."

"No need, I'm full," Lu Chen replied with a smile, heading over to the pot, "I'll serve a bowl for you."

Qin Yaotiao's expression changed dramatically as she quickly followed to stop him, "Young Master, how can you serve porridge for a servant like me?"

"In the future," Lu Chen paused, then said, "there will be no more distinction between Young Master and servant between us!"

Qin Yaotiao's body trembled. What is the Young Master saying...

But suddenly, she caught on and saw Lu Chen's face full of anger as he scolded, "Yaotiao, there's only one bowl of porridge left here. If I eat it, what will you have?"

Seeing her little trick exposed, Qin Yaotiao lowered her head in distress, fidgeting with the corners of her clothes and softly said, "Yaotiao was afraid the Young Master would go hungry... It's no big deal for a servant like me to skip a few meals. But not the Young Master, you have a match the day after tomorrow, and you need to cultivate at night, you can't go hungry!"

"Yaotiao, what am I to do with you?"

Lu Chen's heart ached. He put down the bowl, picked up the pot, and poured all of the porridge into the bowl, not leaving a drop of soup behind.

"Since you still recognize me as the Young Master, then I order you to eat this bowl clean, cleaner than if it had been washed!"

Lu Chen glared at her, looking like he was about to erupt at any moment.

If he wasn't mistaken, there was no more rice left in the house, and Qin Yaotiao had even eaten less than him!

Fearing that Lu Chen would really get angry, Qin Yaotiao obediently drank the rice porridge. Though it was plain and watery, it tasted sweet to her heart.

Seeing the bowl empty, Lu Chen finally revealed a satisfied smile, "From now on, whatever I eat, you eat too. Remember, there's no more Young Master or servant!"

"I remember!"

Qin Yaotiao nodded vigorously, then pulled out a silver ingot from her bosom, "Young Master, this is what I took from Lu Shisan. I plan to go to the clan's grain depot tomorrow to buy some back."

"Okay, then go ahead," Lu Chen said, and then as if remembering something, he added, "Spend all this silver, buy some good wine and food. Tomorrow night, we'll have a feast!"

There was no conversation that night.

Perhaps because of cultivating the Heaven-Breaking Spiritual Method, Lu Chen never felt hungry.

Nor did he feel sleepy.

Qin Yaotiao had long since leaned by the bedside and fallen into a deep sleep, but the more Lu Chen cultivated, the more energetic he felt.

The Heavenly Inquiry Spirit Technique didn't explain why such a change occurred, and Lu Chen didn't delve deeper. Instead, he felt that being able to stay awake meant more time for cultivation.

By now, he was gradually becoming accustomed to the Spiritual Energy entering his body, not sure if his skin and bones had become numb.

Spirit Attraction was the most crucial step for him.

As more and more Spiritual Energy was absorbed, a Qi Cyclone slowly formed in Lu Chen's lower abdomen!

"As long as the Spiritual Power is sufficient, and the Qi Cyclone turns into a Qi Sea, I will be able to become a Qi Cultivator! Then, who in Yuzhou City cannot be my opponent?"

Lu Chen was full of hope for the future but was also well aware that reaching the Qi Refinement Realm would not be so easy.

Merely killing Lu Zhan would bring tremendous trouble, so he could only leave Yuzhou City temporarily to cultivate in a safe place.

Once the Qi Refinement Realm was complete, he would return and send the hypocrite Lu Changming and Lu Changkong on their way!

A gentleman's revenge is not too late even after ten years!

It's not that he wouldn't avenge; the time just hadn't come yet!

With a determined thought in his heart, Lu Chen cultivated with all the more motivation.

It wasn't until his body could no longer withstand the Spiritual Power that he stopped.

When he opened his eyes, dawn was already breaking.

He found it strange, feeling as though he had cultivated for a long time, and yet only half the night had passed?

Lu Chen was puzzled, and when he looked to the side, he was taken aback to find that Qin Yaotiao was not by the bedside anymore!
