Chapter 2103
I don't know what you're talking about
After pondering for a moment, Lu Chen went directly to Chu Qingli's courtyard.
At this moment, Chu Qingli sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, looking at the cracks in the sky with a happy expression.
She couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement; the restriction was actually about to disappear.
If the restrictions were to disappear before the ancient ruins were discovered, then the experts of their Heavenly Profound Holy Land would be able to enter the borderlands and compete for the inheritance within the ruins.
In this way, she will no longer have to be mindful of Lu Chen's feelings, and Lu Chen will suffer her retribution.
The thought of the man who got her pregnant made Chu Qingli so angry she wanted to grind her teeth.
Chu Qingli's gaze fell on her protruding belly.
Now, her baby is several months old.
If the borderland restrictions are truly lifted, I wonder what the disciples of the Heavenly Profound Holy Land will say about her when they arrive in the borderland and see her big belly.
No, this child cannot be kept.
But when she thought about how she was already several months pregnant, and how she could clearly feel that the baby in her belly seemed to have developed some consciousness and would occasionally interact with her, she realized that she was pregnant.
If I were to simply kill him, wouldn't that be too cruel?
Just as Chu Qingli was struggling with whether or not to get rid of the child in her womb, Lu Chen appeared in the courtyard.
Upon seeing Lu Chen arrive, Chu Qingli immediately suppressed her ulterior motives and sat down on the stone bench with a serious expression.
Lu Chen sat down next to Chu Qingli with a smile and said, "Qingli, why aren't you resting in your room? What are you doing out here? This stone bench is cold; it's not good for your health."
Chu Qingli said calmly, "I'm not that delicate. What are you doing here?"
Lu Chen said, "You should be able to guess why I came to find you."
At this point, Lu Chen looked up at the cracks in the sky that were emitting seven-colored light, and then asked, "Is this strange phenomenon related to the restrictions in the borderlands?"
Seeing that Lu Chen had guessed it, Chu Qingli didn't hide anything and answered directly, "Yes, it's somewhat related."
Lu Chen continued, "Could it be that the restriction is about to disappear?"
Chu Qingli said, "I don't know."
Lu Chen looked down into Chu Qingli's eyes and asked seriously, "If the restriction disappears, will those experts above the Heavenly Realm from your Heavenly Profound Holy Land be able to enter this world?"
Chu Qingli did not answer.
The answer to Lu Chen's question is obvious.
Seeing that Chu Qingli remained silent, Lu Chen continued, "It seems I'll be able to meet your fellow disciples soon."
At this point, Lu Chen's gaze fell on Chu Qingli's stomach, and then he reminded her, "Qingli, I know what you're thinking, but don't forget, you're still in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion."
Lu Chen had already noticed Chu Qingli's little scheme through her profile status bar, which made him a little angry.
Chu Qingli actually thought of killing the child in her womb. That won't do. They finally had a child together.
Upon hearing Lu Chen's reminder, Chu Qingli's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this guy had discovered her intention to kill the child in her womb?
He really does have some kind of mind-reading ability!
During the time she spent with Lu Chen, she always felt that Lu Chen could keenly perceive what she was thinking.
In front of Lu Chen, she was like a transparent person, with no secrets to her.
The thought that her life was still in Lu Chen's hands made Chu Qingli clench her fists tightly. Indeed, she couldn't rashly abort the child before meeting the powerful experts above the Heavenly Realm of Tianxuan Palace. Otherwise, before the Zhennan Prince's Mansion was destroyed, Lu Chen could have had that Heavenly Realm expert from the Zhennan Prince's Mansion wipe her and all the disciples of Tianxuan Palace.
To hide her guilty conscience, Chu Qingli said coldly, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Seeing that Chu Qingli did not admit it, Lu Chen continued, "Palace Master Chu, I have said my piece. You should take care of yourself."
After saying that, Lu Chen turned and left the courtyard.
Watching Lu Chen's departing figure, a complex expression appeared on Chu Qingli's face. It seemed that she was really determined to have this child. Once the restrictions on the borderland were lifted, she probably would never be able to return to the Heavenly Profound Holy Land.
Even if she returned to the Heavenly Profound Holy Land, she would only become a laughing stock there, and perhaps her master would even expel her from the Heavenly Profound Holy Land.
Chu Qingli sighed deeply. Oh well, this is my fate.
It's all her fault for insisting on coming to the borderlands to carry out this mission. She was too arrogant, thinking that she was highly talented and that the borderlands were just inhabited by some barbarian natives who were not worth worrying about.
Unexpectedly, even a desolate place like the borderlands could give birth to a celestial realm.
Meanwhile, at the Great Zhou Imperial Palace.
Chen Min and Pei Shuhua stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky.
Seeing the cracks in the sky, Chen Min sneered and said, "It seems that the restrictions on the borderlands will disappear soon. I originally wanted to win over the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, but now it seems there's no need for that."
Pei Shuhua did not speak after hearing Chen Min's words.
She stood quietly in the courtyard, a worried look on her face, as if she were concerned about something.
Seeing that Pei Shuhua didn't speak, Chen Min turned to Pei Shuhua and asked, "What's wrong? Senior Sister Pei seems to be worried about something."
Pei Shuhua came to her senses and said calmly, "The restriction shouldn't disappear so quickly. According to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's calculations, even if the ancient ruins reappear, the restriction on the borderlands will continue to exist for some time."
"However, the ancient ruins have not yet been revealed, and the restrictions have already malfunctioned, which likely means that something unexpected has happened."
"Both this restriction and that ancient ruin were left behind by that ancient powerful being. Since even the restriction has encountered problems, could the ancient ruin also experience some changes that we are unaware of?"
Upon hearing Pei Shuhua's words, Chen Min frowned.
If, as Pei Shuhua suspected, there was a problem with the ancient ruins, wouldn't their mission be impossible to complete?
However, after thinking for a moment, Chen Min said optimistically, "Actually, we don't need to think too much. The disappearance of the ancient ruins proves that the power of that ancient great being is about to dissipate."
"In this way, the remaining sealing power in the ancient ruins is probably not much left, and the ancient ruins may appear in the world ahead of schedule."
Pei Shuhua said, "I hope so."
At this moment, Chen Min suddenly thought of Lu Chen, and a cold glint flashed in her eyes: "The Zhennan Prince's Mansion actually dared to refuse to cooperate with our Qionghua Holy Land. Once the restriction is removed, I will personally torture and kill all those natives of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion."
Upon hearing Chen Min's words, Pei Shuhua immediately reminded her, "Once the restriction is lifted, people from our Holy Land will be able to enter the Borderlands, and the elders of the Tianxuan Holy Land will also be able to enter the Borderlands."
"Since the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has chosen to cooperate with the Tianxuan Holy Land, it is now nominally a vassal force of the Tianxuan Holy Land. You should not provoke the Zhennan Prince's Mansion to avoid triggering a full-scale war between the two holy lands."
Chen Min said nonchalantly, "The Zhennan Prince's Mansion is a remote, indigenous force that the hypocrites of the Tianxuan Holy Land don't take seriously."
"Even if they don't die at my hands, they will most likely die at the hands of the disciples of Tianxuan Holy Land. Tianxuan Holy Land is unlikely to wage a full-scale war against our Qionghua Holy Land for these barbarian ants."
Seeing that Chen Min didn't seem to care about what she had said, Pei Shuhua didn't say anything more. (End of Chapter)
