Chapter 2571 - 2261: Master Lu Truly Willing to Marry Me

As Liu Qingyun’s words just fell, Lu Chen smiled and said: "No problem. Miss Qingqiu can ask me anything she wants to know, anyway I don’t have much to do lately."

Seeing Lu Chen’s agreement, Liu Qingyun slightly frowned.

This could be trouble. Hopefully, Lu Chen doesn’t have any designs on her sister.

At this time Liu Qingqiu said to Lu Chen: "Regent King, please follow me."

As soon as she finished speaking, she led Lu Chen to the small courtyard where she was staying at the City Lord’s Mansion.

Lu Chen uttered a "Fine" and immediately followed her.

After Liu Qingqiu brought Lu Chen to the courtyard where she was temporarily staying, she proactively instructed the maid to prepare a pot of hot tea, and then personally poured a cup of tea for Lu Chen.

Lu Chen sat on the stone stool with a smile and asked: "May I know why Miss Qingqiu is seeking me out?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Liu Qingqiu asked: "Regent King, have we met somewhere?"

Lu Chen replied: "No need to call me Regent King, just call me by my name or call me Master Lu."

"As for whether we have met, I don’t know."

"I have always stayed in the Border Wilderness and never been to the Central State. If this is your first time visiting the Border Wilderness, then we probably haven’t met before."

"Why do you ask this question?"

Liu Qingqiu said: "I always feel like I’ve seen Master Lu somewhere before. Master Lu gives me a sense of familiarity."

Saying this, Liu Qingqiu sat down on the stone stool opposite Lu Chen, gazed at his handsome face, and after taking another look at Lu Chen, still found him familiar.

Upon hearing Liu Qingqiu’s words, Lu Chen picked up the teacup on the table, took a gentle sip of tea, and then said: "Is this Miss Qingqiu’s way of starting a conversation?"

Liu Qingqiu said: "No, I’m serious."

"I truly feel like I’ve seen Master Lu somewhere, and hasn’t Master Lu noticed?"

"You directly called out my name just now."

Since arriving at the Border Wilderness, she hadn’t revealed her name.

And Lu Chen actually called her Miss Qingqiu just now, either indicating that Lu Chen already knew her, or that Lu Chen had people investigate the Liu Family in secret.

Putting down his teacup, Lu Chen spoke unhurriedly: "Did Miss Qingqiu seek me out just to ask this question?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s question, Liu Qingqiu was momentarily at a loss. She didn’t know why, but the moment she saw Lu Chen’s departing figure in the main hall, a feeling of loss suddenly welled up within her, causing her to call out to him.

Now thinking about it, even if they had met before, what difference would it make if Lu Chen knew her?

If they knew each other, so be it. Would she really rely on their acquaintance to get closer to Lu Chen?

Even if they had seen each other before, they probably weren’t very familiar, making Liu Qingqiu unsure of how to continue the conversation with Lu Chen.

Seeing Liu Qingqiu pausing, Lu Chen gazed into her eyes, smiling, and said: "Miss Qingqiu, your feeling is correct; we do know each other from the past, but not in this lifetime."

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Liu Qingqiu’s mind was shaken. What did he mean by not in this lifetime?

Before Liu Qingqiu could react, Lu Chen continued: "In our past lives, we were a couple, which is why you felt I was familiar at first sight."

"This..." The further Lu Chen spoke, the more outrageous it sounded, leaving Liu Qingqiu unsure how to respond.

She seriously suspected Lu Chen was teasing her, but looking at Lu Chen’s serious demeanor, those clear eyes didn’t seem to be lying.

Could it be that they really were dao partners in their past lives?

Strangely, upon hearing the term "dao partners," the spiritual evil within her became more restless, making her feel uncomfortable sitting still, causing her hips to involuntarily want to lift back.

Lu Chen continued: "It’s too early to talk about this now. You haven’t recovered your past life memories yet, so when you hear what I say, you may think I’m lying."

"Wait until you recover your memories, and you’ll know if what I’m saying is true."

Lu Chen wasn’t surprised at all that Liu Qingqiu proactively sought him out, because Liu Qingqiu was merely Liu Qingyun’s clone.

Liu Qingqiu’s situation was similar to Chu Yuqin’s; they were clones separated in the Burial Furnace, and having spent considerable time with him, coupled with not being the Ancestor of the Strange’s main body, they didn’t hold much enmity toward him, making it natural to retain some previous feelings towards him.

Collecting herself, Liu Qingqiu earnestly asked: "Is what Master Lu said true?"

She vaguely felt that Lu Chen wasn’t lying, as the sense of familiarity grew stronger, and her body showed some subconscious reactions.

She certainly didn’t think of herself as a lustful woman.

But reincarnation is tricky to judge for truth or falsehood unless she truly recovers her past life memories; otherwise, she wouldn’t dare fully believe Lu Chen’s words.

Lu Chen said: "Asking me about these things now is meaningless. Until you recover your memory, no matter what I say, you’ll doubt whether I’m deceiving you."

"So everything should wait until you recover your memories."

Liu Qingqiu said: "If we truly were dao partners in a past life, then I might need to interact more with you to recover my memories. Maybe during our interactions, I’ll recall some past life matters."

Hearing Liu Qingqiu’s words, Lu Chen chuckled and said: "I’m afraid not; your sister wouldn’t allow it."

Liu Qingqiu said: "She will agree."

"Regardless of whether what Master Lu said is true or false."

"Even if there’s no past life, there’s no reason we can’t be dao partners in this life."

Just now, Liu Qingqiu pondered inwardly that Lu Chen’s talent, coupled with his appearance, met her requirements for a darling.

Though Lu Chen is a native of the Border Wilderness, they themselves had settled here, so there’s no need to concern themselves with where Lu Chen was born.

If she could marry Lu Chen, why not? Besides, Lu Chen holds such an important position in the Border Wilderness.

If she were to marry Lu Chen, the Liu Family could establish themselves more quickly in the Border Wilderness, and could receive some care from Lu Chen.

Seeing Liu Qingqiu being so proactive, Lu Chen was slightly surprised.

He then said: "If you truly think so, then you can consult your sister first. If she agrees, I’ll marry you."

"But I must tell you in advance, I have many women, so be prepared for that."

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Liu Qingqiu said: "Ever since arriving at the Border Wilderness, we’ve been inquiring about you and know you have many wives."

Lu Chen said: "Since you’ve thought it through, I won’t say more."

Liu Qingqiu asked: "Is Master Lu truly willing to marry me?"

Lu Chen smiled and said: "Given how beautiful Miss Qingqiu is and how proactive she’s been, if I refused, would I still be a man?"

Liu Qingqiu immediately said: "Then please stay a few more days in Spirit Hill City. I’ll go find my sister and discuss this with her."

Lu Chen said: "Alright, then I won’t disturb you today."

After speaking, Lu Chen got up and left the courtyard directly.

Watching Lu Chen’s departing figure, the familiar feeling surging within Liu Qingqiu’s heart came again, as a strange image appeared in her mind.

In the image, Lu Chen was holding her waist, his whole body crawling behind her.

Liu Qingqiu hurriedly shook her head; she couldn’t have these thoughts after only meeting Lu Chen today.

It seems what Lu Chen said might indeed be true.

No, even if they were dao partners in a past life, she shouldn’t be so wanton now. She’d better quickly find her sister and explain everything.

But her sister might not agree. Thinking about this gave Liu Qingqiu a headache, not knowing what method to use to persuade her sister to agree.
