Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 392 - 392 375 The Sect Master's Personal Belonging_1

392: Chapter 375: The Sect Master’s Personal Belonging_1 392: Chapter 375: The Sect Master’s Personal Belonging_1 Situ Qinghuan was stunned upon hearing Lu Chuan’s inner voice.

“To…

to sleep with me?”

She glanced up at Lu Chuan and never expected that he came to her with such an intention!

She knew one’s innermost thoughts wouldn’t lie, so what was filling Lu Chuan’s head must be exactly those thoughts!

“Why would he have such thoughts about me?

Because I’m beautiful?” Situ Qinghuan associated it with the thought Lu Chuan had earlier about complimenting her looks and started to speculate.

“But I have never shown my face in public, the only one who has seen me is the Great Elder, so how does Lu Chuan know what I look like?”

A plethora of doubts crept into Situ Qinghuan’s mind; she was confused, but that did not prevent her from seeing Lu Chuan as a sleazy and despicable character.

Initially, Situ Qinghuan was very grateful to Lu Chuan for treating her to barbecued meat when she was very hungry, and over the past few days, she had found Lu Chuan to be a gentleman with integrity, neither servile nor overbearing and had even considered promoting him when she regained her status as Sect Leader, remembering that he had been her roommate.

However, she had not expected that beneath Lu Chuan’s serious facade lay such a filthy thought, which instantly made him appear to her as a hypocrite, outwardly righteous but inwardly corrupt.

Nevertheless, she also understood the principle that “One must judge by actions, not thoughts, for no one has a completely pure mind.” No one in the world can truly be free of all improper thoughts; as long as one is human, there is bound to be a dark side to their inner self, and she too had impure thoughts that contradicted morality from time to time.

But the idea of Lu Chuan wanting to sleep with her was particularly annoying to her.

How could she possibly be delighted with someone who was a stranger to her and harbored such impure intentions right from the start?

[However, the chances of the Sect Leader agreeing to my request seem negligible, after all, she doesn’t even know me, there’s no reason for her to agree to such an unreasonable condition.

If I don’t try, I will lose my life.

It’s all the fault of that damned Great Elder, if not for him, how would I have gotten into such trouble!]

Situ Qinghuan, who had been inwardly criticizing Lu Chuan for his seemingly righteous demeanor, felt a surge of doubt upon hearing this particular inner voice of his.

“If he doesn’t come to me to fight for this, his life will be in danger?

Is he being forced?”

“And is the reason he’s in such a predicament because of the Great Elder?”

“But what means would the Great Elder have to force him to do that sort of thing with me just to save his own life?

That’s outrageous!”

While she found these possibilities somewhat inconceivable, considering the Great Elder could even set up the Yin-Yang Reversal Array Formation, the existence of other inexplicable methods wasn’t beyond reason.

Thinking this through, her attitude toward Lu Chuan softened somewhat.

“But even if he is forced, it’s still impossible for me to have that kind of relationship with him.

The gemstone I used for the reversal formation was stolen by him.

This is indeed a troublesome issue.

I need to figure out a way to get the gemstone back.”

Determined, Situ Qinghuan made up her mind and began planning how to reclaim the gemstone from Lu Chuan.

The two of them hid inside the rockery until the latter part of the night.

During this time, Situ Qinghuan reminded herself several times that eavesdropping on someone’s inner thoughts was not an ethical thing to do, so she planned to end the telepathy, but she was also very curious about what was truly on Lu Chuan’s mind.

After all, hiding in the rockery was extremely boring, and even as the Sect Leader, she couldn’t resist the urge to gossip.

So, she kept listening to the thoughts inside Lu Chuan’s mind.

In the process of eavesdropping, she gradually gained some understanding of this man and found that although he was somewhat lecherous and had some extremely vulgar thoughts, these were only a small part.

Most of his thoughts were quite interesting.

Sometimes, the thoughts that popped up in Lu Chuan’s head would even make her want to laugh.

As the Profound Sect Leader, she had always taken a lofty stance towards others, and having always worn a mask that made the outside world think she was a man, she never had friends or confided in anyone.

This was her first deep dive into understanding someone’s inner world.

She was amazed to discover that the thoughts between people were not so different after all; many thoughts she believed she shouldn’t have were also present in Lu Chuan.

It turned out she wasn’t an aberration.

The key to whether relationships between people can be close lies in the mutual understanding of each other’s thoughts.

The saying ‘Everyone’s heart is hidden behind a wall’ suggests that stable relationships can only be developed through long-term interactions.

But Situ Qinghuan skipped the steps of interacting and understanding and went straight to mind reading; therefore, even though she had only known Lu Chuan for a few days, after a night of mind reading, she felt that she already knew him very well.

“This person is quite interesting, and many of their thoughts align with mine.

It’s just too bad they’re a man, and even harbors inappropriate thoughts about me.

If they were a woman, I wouldn’t mind making friends,” Situ Qinghuan thought to herself.

At this moment, Lu Chuan spoke up, “They’ve been searching for us for so long without any luck, and now that it’s the latter half of the night, the disciples of the Profound Sect are exhausted.

It’s the perfect opportunity for us to make our escape.”

Situ Qinghuan nodded, agreeing with Lu Chuan’s idea.

So, the two of them quietly emerged from the rockery, fleeing towards the outside of the Profound Sect.

Situ Qinghuan said she knew where the sect’s defenses were weak and suggested that she lead the way, but Lu Chuan rejected her offer.

“Wu Qi, you’re an ordinary person.

Having been stuck in the rockery for so long, it’s inevitable that you’d get confused, so let me handle the escape from the sect.

All you need to do is follow me, and I guarantee I’ll get you out safely,” Lu Chuan said with all seriousness.

Upon hearing this, Situ Qinghuan actually felt a touch of emotion.

But the next second, she heard Lu Chuan’s inner voice.

“If I were to follow this directionally challenged person’s lead, we’d probably be dead here today, eight or nine times out of ten.

It’s more reliable for me to use my Divine Sense to observe our surroundings.”

Situ Qinghuan immediately gritted her teeth, her face showing displeasure.

She was just slightly directionally challenged, nowhere near as unreliable as Lu Chuan was thinking!

However, she did not voice her dissatisfaction and agreed to follow Lu Chuan’s lead.

The two of them stealthily moved through the sect, avoiding numerous patrol teams, and eventually escaped from a spot where the guard was relatively weak.

Lu Chuan led Wu Qi down the mountain, and only when they reached the foot of the mountain and confirmed they weren’t detected by anyone from the Profound Sect, did they stop.

Lu Chuan gathered some firewood and lit it for illumination.

It was then that Situ Qinghuan looked at Lu Chuan and said, “I’ve reconsidered, and seeing how desperately you want to find the Sect Leader, I’ve decided to tell you her whereabouts.

But you’ll have to return that gemstone to me first.”

Lu Chuan laughed, “That gemstone is compensation for the Divine Skills you took from me, so unless you tell me what my Divine Skills are, I’m not returning the gemstone to you.”

Situ Qinghuan frowned, “Shouldn’t you be more interested in knowing the Sect Leader’s whereabouts?”

Lu Chuan laughed, “You’re right, I am indeed more interested in knowing the Sect Leader’s whereabouts, but I have a way to find her, so I don’t need you to tell me.”

Situ Qinghuan felt a sudden pang in her heart, “What way?”

Lu Chuan didn’t hide the fact, “I have a tracking and positioning method that can determine a person’s location with one of their personal belongings.”

Situ Qinghuan’s brow furrowed, “Do you have the Sect Leader’s personal belonging?”

Lu Chuan laughed heartily, “Of course I do; otherwise, what do you think I went into that secret room for today?”

After saying this, he took out the clothing he had hastily grabbed from the wardrobe in the secret room.

“This, is the Sect Leader’s personal garment!”

Looking down at the garment in his hands, and with the help of the firelight, he discovered it was actually a white lace-trimmed pair of panties, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

“No wonder it felt like there was so little fabric when I grabbed it, it turned out to be this thing.

But this definitely counts as the Sect Leader’s personal belonging, and I guess there’s nothing else that could be more personal than this.”

“To think the Sect Leader has quite the taste, wearing panties with lace trimming, and if the fabric had been any less, they would practically be a thong,” Lu Chuan murmured to himself.

Upon seeing Lu Chuan take out the panties she had once worn, Situ Qinghuan was dumbstruck, and upon hearing his inner thoughts, she turned to stone, frozen in place like an ice sculpture.
