396: Chapter 379 Opportunity and Unexpected Events_1 396: Chapter 379 Opportunity and Unexpected Events_1 When Lu Chuan saw Situ Qinghuan refuse, he immediately became anxious and said, “Sect Master, please be kind, at least give me a chance.”

Situ Qinghuan snorted coldly, “I’m not a female bodhisattva, why should I give you such an opportunity?”

Seeing the Sect Master’s resolute attitude, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but sigh, “This matter involves my life, since you’re unwilling, then I have no choice but…”

Situ Qinghuan’s heart skipped a beat, and her nerves immediately tensed up, only then did she realize that she was powerless right now; if Lu Chuan were to use force, she wouldn’t stand the slightest chance of resisting.

Oh no, if only I had refused more tactfully earlier.

Now that I’ve directly crushed this guy’s hopes, he wouldn’t consider doing something drastic, would he?

Lu Chuan moved closer to Situ Qinghuan.

“What…

what do you want to do?” Situ Qinghuan took two steps back and raised her hand to cover her chest.

Lu Chuan stared at her for a few seconds and suddenly burst into laughter, saying, “Just kidding, you didn’t think I was really going to use force on you, did you?”

Only then did Situ Qinghuan realize it was a false alarm and annoyed, she glanced at Lu Chuan and cursed, “Bastard!”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “Rest assured, even though this matter is about life and death for me, as long as you are unwilling, I won’t force you.”

Situ Qinghuan was slightly moved and said, “You’re still a decent gentleman after all.”

Lu Chuan hurriedly said, “Seeing how much of a gentleman I am, won’t you play the female bodhisattva, just this once?”

Situ Qinghuan’s face immediately fell again, “Scram!!!”

Lu Chuan sighed helplessly, “Fine, these things can’t be forced, but I believe that in the end, you will agree to help me.”

Situ Qinghuan asked, “Where does this confidence come from?”

Lu Chuan said with a smile, “Intuition.”

Situ Qinghuan rolled her eyes and said, “Actually, for you to have reached such a level of power at your age, and having killed the Great Elder, you are indeed talented in my view.

I’ve been pretending to be a man for years and am tired of it; I was indeed considering finding a boyfriend, and your qualifications are quite passable.”

“However, due to a certain reason, it’s impossible for anything to happen between us, so I can only apologize to you.”

Lu Chuan immediately asked, “What reason?”

Situ Qinghuan said, “I cannot disclose that.”

“Thanks for bringing me here last night, but if it hadn’t been for you, my plan wouldn’t have been disrupted, so we are even now.”

“Keep the gemstone; consider it compensation for that Divine Skill.”

“I need to leave now, lest you can’t resist and attack me.

Staying by your side is too dangerous.”

“Farewell!”

Having said that, she was ready to leave the place.

“Wait a moment,” Lu Chuan spoke up.

Situ Qinghuan looked at him, “Is there something else?”

Lu Chuan, with a wry smile, pointed at Situ Qinghuan’s chest, “With a body like that, and a man’s face, going out like this, people might think you’re a pervert.”

Situ Qinghuan looked down at her chest and felt Lu Chuan did have a point.

Moreover, after what happened last night, the Profound Sect would definitely pursue “Wu Qi”.

Going out with this face would actually be riskier.

Thinking that no one had seen her in her female form anyway, and that she wouldn’t be recognized even if she resumed her original appearance, she raised her hand and took off a string of beads from her wrist.

The next second, her appearance began to change dramatically: her Adam’s apple vanished, her hair fell loose, her skin became softer and more delicate, and in the blink of an eye, she transformed into the aloof fairy that Lu Chuan had seen in the memory of the Great Elder.

Looking at her face, Lu Chuan was a bit dumbfounded.

Although he had encountered many beauties, he still felt somewhat awed at this moment.

Because Situ Qinghuan was too beautiful.

“Who would have thought that this bracelet of yours was a Magic Artifact for changing appearance.

No wonder I couldn’t detect any clues.” Lu Chuan spoke up, “May I know your name?”

Situ Qinghuan lifted her chin with a cool gaze, looking as if she was saying why should I tell you my name, there’s no chance for us.

Lu Chuan sighed, “Never mind, since you’re not willing to help me, knowing your name makes no difference.

If you don’t want to say it, forget it.”

But then, Situ Qinghuan spoke indifferently, “My name is Situ Qinghuan, let’s part here, and hope that we never meet again!”

“Farewell!”

After speaking, she left the hotel room without hesitation.

“Situ Qinghuan, it’s quite a nice name,”

Lu Chuan didn’t pursue her, knowing it was pointless.

Such matters rest upon fate.

As for why he still believed there was fate between him and Situ Qinghuan, he wasn’t sure—it was probably an intuition bestowed by the True Dragon Destiny.

Just as he was wondering when he might encounter the fate that involved Situ Qinghuan, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open again.

Situ Qinghuan had returned.

Lu Chuan looked at the returning Situ Qinghuan and thought to himself, “Didn’t she just say we would never meet again?

Why has she come back so soon?”

Could it be that she’s had a change of heart and is willing to agree to my proposal?

A smile of anticipation appeared on his face as he said, “Miss Situ, you…”

But then he saw Situ Qinghuan quickly walk up to the bed, pick up the chest wrap, and then, with a somewhat embarrassed yet righteous expression, extend her hand to Lu Chuan and demand, “Give me back my underwear!”

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but smile wryly, not expecting Situ Qinghuan’s return to be for this reason.

Could it be to prevent me from using the tracking and positioning method to find her?

It seemed she really did not want to see him again.

Without hesitating, he took Situ Qinghuan’s undergarments out of his pocket and placed them in her hand.

Situ Qinghuan huffed and turned to leave, clearly indicating this time she was truly leaving.

Lu Chuan gave a wry smile and sat on the bed, not worried about being unable to find Situ Qinghuan.

After confirming that Situ Qinghuan was the Profound Sect Leader, he had left a mark on her.

After all, she was his lifeline and naturally, he needed to be able to find her at all times.

So, even if Situ Qinghuan took away all her personal items, it didn’t matter.

“Next, I just need to wait for an opportunity to arise,” Lu Chuan thought, taking out his phone to check for recent messages.

Because he was being pursued the previous night, he had turned off his phone to prevent exposure from an unexpected call.

After he turned his phone on, he immediately received dozens of missed call notifications.

Some were from Mu Nanqing, as well as from Chu Mengyao and Shen Yourong, and even Han Qingci and Zhong Ling’er had called, along with Ning Xin whom he hadn’t seen for a long time.

“What’s going on?

Why are they all suddenly calling me?”

Just as Lu Chuan was feeling puzzled, he saw several local news notifications pushed to his phone.

“Explosive!

Profound Sect Leader exposes his wife’s affair, the lover is the real killer of the Great Elder, Lu Chuan!”

“Shocking!

Profound Sect Leader cuckolded, Great Elder dies seeking justice on Sect Leader’s behalf, and the murderer is him!”

“Preeminent sect in the martial arts world’s Sect Leader hid his beautiful wife for years, unknown young man, Lu Chuan, shockingly cuckolds him, are we looking at human nature’s distortion or moral decadence…”

…

Just from reading these news headlines, Lu Chuan felt his scalp tingle and a chill run down his spine.

He hurriedly clicked on the news articles and, through their content and the comments below, he extracted some useful information.

“A Sect Leader suddenly appeared in Profound Sect, just like in the past, wearing a mask, with his face unknown.”

“Situ Qinghuan became the wife of this suddenly appearing Sect Leader.”

“And I, Lu Chuan, became Situ Qinghuan’s lover, killed the Great Elder when he caught us in the act, and then fled with Situ Qinghuan from Profound Sect.”

“Now the entire Profound Sect is in pursuit of Situ Qinghuan’s whereabouts, while the suddenly emerging Sect Leader has set up a fighting stage at the foot of the sect’s mountain, waiting for me to come and have a showdown.”

“What on earth is all this!”

After reading these news pieces, Lu Chuan felt completely overwhelmed.

But he was very clear that something unusual must have happened within Profound Sect; after all, Situ Qinghuan was the real Sect Leader, and now not only had someone come out impersonating the Sect Leader but also claimed Situ Qinghuan to be the Sect Leader’s wife, even releasing her portrait, which indicated a definite conspiracy.

“Within the entire Profound Sect, only the Great Elder knew of Situ Qinghuan’s appearance, and since he is dead, this imposter Sect Leader is likely a friend or backer of the Great Elder.

Him releasing this story is aimed at avenging the Great Elder by setting up the fighting stage for me and capturing Situ Qinghuan.”

“Moreover, according to the news description, Profound Sect has deployed a large number of people, with their main goal being to capture Situ Qinghuan.

They hardly mention me, only saying the Sect Leader is waiting for me at the fighting stage.”

“This shows that the person behind the scenes’ real target is Situ Qinghuan, and I’m just incidental!”

“These news stories have already been circulating for more than half a day.

The forces sent out by Profound Sect have also rushed toward Yun Province everywhere, and this county is the closest place to Profound Sect, so there will definitely be no shortage of people sent here.”

“Situ Qinghuan is in danger!”

After coming to this conclusion, Lu Chuan immediately stood up.

Now, Situ Qinghuan was just an ordinary person.

Moreover, disciples of Profound Sect were unaware that she was the true Sect Leader, believing instead that she was the Sect Leader’s hidden wife who had been unfaithful.

So, once they encountered her, they would take her back to Profound Sect without mercy.

“Could it be that this is that opportunity between Situ Qinghuan and me?

It’s come really fast,” Lu Chuan couldn’t help revealing a smile.

Although this was an opportunity to make a good impression in front of Situ Qinghuan, he was actually more interested in the imposter Sect Leader.

This person managed to acquire Situ Qinghuan’s portrait and was closely connected to the Great Elder.

Furthermore, he succeeded in impersonating the Profound Sect Leader and got everyone in the sect to cooperate, indicating his status and power were extraordinary.

Considering the Great Elder had once belonged to the Kunlun Domain’s Lu family, Lu Chuan surmised that the person behind this likely had connections to the Kunlun Domain’s Lu family.

Even if there was no need to conclude matters with the Great Elder, he would still get involved in this affair.

Without hesitation, Lu Chuan sensed the mark he left on Situ Qinghuan, confirmed her location, and quickly left the hotel to seek her out.

As for the numerous missed calls, he chose to ignore them silently.

If he dared to return those calls now, he would undoubtedly face endless interrogations.

So, it was best to act as if he hadn’t seen them.
