Chapter 298 - 298 282 Identity Exposed_1

298: Chapter 282 Identity Exposed_1 298: Chapter 282 Identity Exposed_1 Upon hearing these words, Lu Chuan’s body stiffened as if struck by lightning, frozen in place.

Seeing Lu Chuan look this way, Yun Ji felt somewhat puzzled and asked, “What’s wrong?

Could it be that you know this Lu Chuan?”

Lu Chuan quickly said, “No, I don’t know him, I don’t know him at all!

How could I possibly know him!”

By this point in the conversation, even a fool could guess that the disciple Yun Ji was talking about was Fuxiang!

If he had known earlier that Yun Ji was Fuxiang’s master, he would never have agreed to help seal the Karmic Fire within her.

This was like digging a hole for himself and then jumping in willingly!

Yun Ji nodded and said, “This Lu Chuan is vile to the extreme.

If not for his being somewhat useful, I would not have captured him to take back but would’ve slapped him to death on the spot.”

Lu Chuan shivered and hurriedly asked, “What use could he possibly have?”

Yun Ji replied, “It involves some privacy concerns of my disciple, so it’s inconvenient for me to say.

Better not to ask.”

Then, a bright red fruit appeared out of nowhere in her hand, and the intense fragrance of the fruit instantly filled the air while the surrounding temperature also rose by quite a few degrees.

“Here, this is the Fire Spirit Fruit I promised to give you, thank you for taking care of me during this time.”

Lu Chuan fixated on the suddenly appearing Fire Spirit Fruit; he could tell she must possess some sort of spatial Magic Artifact, and this fruit was taken out from within it.

If it had been before, he would not have hesitated to take the Fire Spirit Fruit, as he had stayed by Yun Ji’s side precisely for this fruit.

But now, knowing Yun Ji’s identity, he was a bit afraid to take it.

“Don’t you want it?” Yun Ji blinked her large eyes at Lu Chuan, noticing something off about him.

Lu Chuan swallowed and, trying to appear calm, said with a smile, “Of course I want it.

It’s rightly deserved, how could I not.”

He reached out with trembling hands and took the Fire Spirit Fruit.

No reason to reject a gift; after all, Yun Ji didn’t know he was Lu Chuan, and since this was his earned reward, he took the Fire Spirit Fruit without any guilt.

Seeing Lu Chuan accept the Fire Spirit Fruit, Yun Ji breathed a sigh of relief; she had thought that Lu Chuan would feel aversion toward her after learning her identity.

Lu Chuan stored the Fire Spirit Fruit inside the Demon Suppression Pagoda, then addressed Yun Ji with a cupped fist salute, saying, “Sister Yun, now that your power is restored, you no longer need my protection.

My task is also complete, and I have my own matters to attend to.

We shall meet again in the future!”

Having said that, he turned and prepared to leave.

Yun Ji’s strength far surpassed his, and she could easily notice his altered appearance with magic.

If he didn’t leave promptly and Yun Ji sensed something was amiss, escape would be impossible.

“Wait a moment,” Yun Ji said with a frown, looking at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan had no choice but to stop and turn around, squeezing out a smile, he asked, “Is there something else?”

Yun Ji looked at Lu Chuan angrily and said, “Are you just going to leave like this?”

Lu Chuan, with an embarrassed face, replied, “No…

What else can I do?”

Yun Ji opened her mouth as if to speak, then hesitated.

Finally, with a huff, she said, “Then go.”

She didn’t even know why she had said that herself.

She always felt an emptiness inside when she thought about parting with Lu Chuan like this, but Lu Chuan’s task was indeed complete, and he had even helped her seal the Karmic Fire.

Their relationship should end here, and it was normal for Lu Chuan to leave.

Yet deep down, she really didn’t want Lu Chuan to just go like this.

Scenes of Lu Chuan kissing her and holding her naked body in his arms surfaced in her mind, making her feel unexpectedly aggrieved.

Having not been in a relationship for hundreds of years, she was a blank slate regarding matters of the heart, which made her take these matters between men and women very seriously.

She felt that after doing such intimate acts with Lu Chuan, there should be some sort of explanation between them.

But Lu Chuan seemed to want to leave without any further interaction, which made her feel this guy simply didn’t care about taking advantage of her.

“Who would have thought that I, the leader of the Demon Tribe, would be so hopelessly sentimental.

No wonder my mother warned me never to get too close to human men, calling them irresponsible liars.

Now it seems her words were not wrong at all,” Yun Ji silently criticized in her heart.

Lu Chuan could feel Yun Ji’s emotions, but he could not afford to soothe this woman for now.

Revealing his identity could very well cost him his life.

He certainly didn’t believe that Yun Ji would remain rational upon discovering that the man who had kissed her and taken advantage was the same one who had bullied her disciple.

What a sin…

He didn’t dare stay any longer, saying, “Then, I’m off, you…

take care.”

Immediately after, he turned and walked toward the outside.

But having only walked a few steps, Fuxiang appeared in his line of sight.

His heart lurched violently, and he quickly lowered his head, silently chanting, “Don’t see me, don’t see me…”

And continued walking forward.

When Fuxiang saw the unfamiliar man before her, she felt a strange sense of familiarity stirring within her and her eyebrows knitted slightly together.

“Hello, have you seen a very beautiful woman who looks like a fox spirit?” Fuxiang asked.

Lu Chuan dared not look at her and hastily pointed behind him, saying, “She…

she’s over there.”

Fuxiang looked in the direction he pointed, and indeed she spotted Yun Ji’s figure, crying out loud, “Master!”

Yun Ji was still annoyed and angry at Lu Chuan for leaving directly.

After her strength had recovered, she had used the secret technique of the Demon Tribe to send a message to Fuxiang, asking her to find herself.

“Not right!” At that moment, Fuxiang suddenly sensed something off and quickly turned around, grabbed Lu Chuan’s shoulder, and yanked him back.

Lu Chuan was taken aback and asked, “What are you doing?”

Fuxiang stared intently at Lu Chuan, and after a while, she shouted, “You are Lu Chuan!”

Damn it!

Lu Chuan cursed silently to himself and hurriedly denied, “Who’s Lu Chuan?

I don’t know him!”

Fuxiang was furious, saying, “Don’t play dumb with me, you took my first time, my body would react, even if you changed your appearance, I would never mistake you!”

Lu Chuan’s face went through a series of changes as he thought to himself, how terrifying are you people from the Demon Tribe, to be able to identify someone by such means?

Without hesitating, he quickly shook off Fuxiang’s hand and turned to run.

On the other side, Yun Ji sensed something amiss and flew over directly, asking with confusion, “Fuxiang, what’s the matter?”

Fuxiang said excitedly, “Master, that guy is Lu Chuan!

I’ve been looking for him in the city for so long without catching any trace of him, I didn’t expect he’d actually be hiding here!”

Yun Ji’s face was a picture of astonishment, somewhat disbelieving of what Fuxiang had said.

Nevertheless, she froze Lu Chuan in his tracks and quickly, she noticed a spell being cast around Lu Chuan.

She directly resolved the spell.

Lu Chuan immediately returned to his original appearance.

Yun Ji, looking at this familiar face, was stunned in place.

“It’s actually Lu Chuan…”

“No wonder he was so anxious to leave after learning my identity…”

“I have been with Lu Chuan all this time; he was supposed to practice the Ruyi Dual Cultivation Technique with Fuxiang, yet I…”

“This… what a disgrace!”

Seeing his identity revealed, Lu Chuan put on an awkward smile and looked at Yun Ji, saying, “Sister Yun, listen to my explanation…”

“Shut your mouth!” Yun Ji shouted, her mind a mess, in no state to listen to any explanations.

Fuxiang looked at them both with wide eyes, “Sister Yun?

Master, you and he…”

Yun Ji snapped, “Nothing has happened between him and me, we are completely innocent!

This person is despicable, shameless, bereft of all morality, I’ll kill him right now, to rid the people of this scourge!”

Although she said this, she didn’t use any strength at all.

Fuxiang thought to herself that she had just mentioned Yun Ji and him, and now Yun Ji was starting to prove her innocence—could there really be something between them?

Just then, an elder wearing a black robe, with a sinister face and emaciated figure, appeared before them.

He saw Lu Chuan, a cold smile spread across his face, and said, “Lu Chuan, you really are here!

You killed a core disciple of Profound Sect and repeatedly opposed the Great Elder, today I will slay you here to uphold the dignity of Profound Sect!”
