Chapter 358: Chapter 358: Xu Qianqian Also Wants to Participate!

After making his decision, Lu Chen began pondering the various possibilities that might arise the next day.

Xu Qianqian knew him.

If he went out with this face, it would indeed be troublesome if they happened to meet.

Given Xu Qianqian’s personality, she might even discover him lurking in the shadows and then silently scheme against him!

"But I don’t know any Disguise Technique," Lu Chen thought for a moment, then slapped his forehead and suddenly sat up, "I don’t need to impersonate someone else, I just need to prevent Xu Qianqian from recognizing me, right?"

Immediately, he came up with a method.

However, to avoid trouble, he still needed to inform the Mo Family brothers of his plan.

Lu Chen spent the whole night lying down until the clear morning of the next day.

During the night, the three Mo brothers returned carefully, murmuring many words to each other—obviously, they had also made quite some preparations.

"What a comfortable sleep that was!"

Noticing that the others were about to wake up, Lu Chen stretched lazily and sat up from the bed.

The three Mo brothers also became instantly more alert and got up one after another.

"Good morning, Brother Lu. You sure slept for quite a while!"

Mo Buwen said with a smile. When they had returned during the night, they had noticed how soundly Lu Chen was sleeping and wondered how a Martial Artist of the Visceral Refinement Realm could be so intolerant to alcohol.

Strange as it was, today was the day to make decisions.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "I was really exhausted from being busy these past days."

A light flickered in Mo Buwen’s eyes before he suddenly asked, "Did Brother Lu go treasure hunting in Tianyuan?"

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, his mind churning with thoughts, and replied, "Indeed, I went to Tianyuan, so..."

"I understand,"

Mo Buwen nodded and said, "The hesitation of Brother Lu is because you’re afraid of encountering enemies in this imperial city?"

At that moment, Mo Buwen also thought of why Lu Chen had concealed his aura to prevent others from detecting his Yuan power; it must be because he had a secret to hide.

If he had come from Tianyuan, that would explain it.

"Brother Mo is impressive," Lu Chen gave a thumbs up and said, "With so many people around, otherwise, I wouldn’t have stayed in this lowly inn, in such an ordinary room."

The implication being that those who bore grudges against him were not ordinary people.

"Brother Lu, once you enter an Immortal Sect, martial artists from the world over will no longer dare to provoke you, regardless of which Martial Artist family they come from!"

Mo Buwen spoke solemnly, as if to remind Lu Chen.

"Alas," Lu Chen deliberately sighed and said, "How could I not know? They say your thoughts by day become your dreams by night, and luckily, I thought of a method in my dream! You see... if I cover up this face, my enemies wouldn’t recognize me, right?"

"Brother Lu knows the Disguise Technique?"

All three Mo brothers were taken aback.

"Not exactly," Lu Chen laughed, "I just need to avoid my enemies. I can smear some soot and charcoal on my face to darken my complexion! Besides, if I used the Disguise Technique, and I were chosen by the Immortal Sect, then it might reflect poorly on me as dishonest, implicating you three brothers. Wouldn’t that ruin your good prospects?"

"Correct, correct, Brother Lu has indeed thought through everything!"

The three Mo brothers were overjoyed; this clearly indicated his intention to go with them to the Heavenly Pill Pavilion’s event for recruiting servants!

"Since that’s the case," Lu Chen smiled as he crossed his legs, sitting on the bed and said, "You three must explain the detailed rules and regulations of this event to me thoroughly so that I won’t make a joke of myself when the time comes. It would be a small matter to cause laughter, but if I were to break any rules..."

"Of course!"

Mo Buwen was delighted and said, "Wu Er, go bring some good wine and dishes, let me explain everything in detail to Brother Lu!"

When the two left, Mo Buwen lowered his voice and said, "Brother Lu, to be honest, I went out to inquire yesterday, and it seems... Xu Qianqian is also interested in participating in this event! With this, our chance of being selected greatly decreases. Now, the problem is how many people Heavenly Pill Pavilion will choose!"
