CHAPTER 1553: CHAPTER 1512 AURA

At first, the old man merely thought Lu Chuan was a disciple of the Fengyang Sect, after all, Lu Chuan appeared very young and had an extraordinary look.

But now it seemed he was probably an ordinary person who accidentally wandered into the medicine field and, for some unknown reason, even turned into a fool.

"Never mind, just stay at my place for now. This is the medicine field of Fengyang Sect, very safe, no one will harm you."

"...Thank you."

"Hey, quite polite."

The old man chuckled, and sat down in front of Lu Chuan, stuffing half a bun into his mouth, chewing vigorously. Lu Chuan also picked up the bun, brushed off the dust, and started eating.

It was quite odd; clearly, he had long since begun fasting, yet after eating half a bun, he felt even hungrier. Helplessly, Lu Chuan could only extend his hand, signaling to the old man he wanted more.

The old man was very straightforward too. For buns, it’s a matter of having as many as you want. He turned back into the house to fetch two more, tossing them into Lu Chuan’s hands, and poured him a cup of water along the way.

"So, what’s your last name and first name, where is your home? Do you still remember these things?"

As Lu Chuan devoured his food, he shook his head, continuing to feign ignorance.

He had no choice; his identity was too sensitive. If anyone discovered he was a cultivator from Earth, he would likely be hunted down immediately.

As for why he didn’t appear near Empress Wu Zong, it seemed some sort of mistake had occurred.

"Hey, you don’t remember anything? That’s rather tricky, can’t even recall your name?"

"Hmm..."

"Never mind, just stay here for now. Until you remember anything, I’ll sort out a room for you later, you can stay in the spare room, alright, kid?"

"Mm..."

Lu Chuan nodded, and swallowed the last bite of bun with difficulty, then gulped down a mouthful of water, before patting his pants, standing up.

"Thanks."

"You’re welcome, just hang around here for now. I’ll go tidy up the room for you."

Watching the old man leave, Lu Chuan sat in the chair and began to sort out his thoughts.

Clearly, he had been brought to the Small World by Empress Wu Zong, but the specifics of this place Lu Chuan did not know.

As for why Empress Wu Zong wasn’t nearby, this was something Lu Chuan was also unclear about for the time being.

And the most crucial point, Lu Chuan currently couldn’t mobilize his Spiritual Power.

Thinking carefully, it should be the overly dense Spiritual Power in this Small World that caused Lu Chuan’s body to need some time to adapt. But it’s also a good chance for Lu Chuan to continue gathering intelligence.

Honestly speaking, being forcibly brought to the Small World like this, Lu Chuan was still a bit vexed.

The troubles on Earth were not entirely resolved yet, his precious daughter had just been born, and now he was inexplicably brought here, rendering Lu Chuan akin to a headless fly, afraid to wander randomly lest he arouse suspicion.

However, the only good news was probably that Lu Chuan’s physical strength was preserved, allowing him to easily fight against Spirit Dividing experts.

"The urgent matter is to quickly adapt my body and get in touch with the Tower Spirit, and meanwhile, identify my location."

Lu Chuan vividly remembered Han Qian once said, both his parents and grandpa entered the Life Forbidden Zone. Lu Chuan still needed to find them, the longer he delayed, the more disadvantageous it was for him; he had to act promptly.

Being exposed was a minor issue, but if something happened to his parents and grandpa, Lu Chuan would never forgive himself in this lifetime.

...

At this moment, inside the Life Forbidden Zone.

The old man suddenly halted his steps and closed his eyes to carefully sense. Mr. Lu was just about to speak when he was stopped by the beautiful woman.

After a long time, the old man suddenly opened his eyes, his expression full of surprise and joy.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Lu became even more puzzled, asking, "Dad, what’s wrong with you, why the sudden change in expression?"

"It seems... I sensed my precious grandson’s presence!"

"What are you saying, Dad? Chen’er has always..."

"Not him!"

The old man raised his hand to interrupt his son and continued, "Seems... Chuan’er has come to the Small World."

Upon hearing this, the husband and wife were instantly filled with hope.

"Dad, are you sure? Chuan’er really came!"

"Although it was just for a moment, I can confirm that it’s undoubtedly my precious grandson! Hahaha, what a lad, managed to break through to the Integration Realm! Didn’t bring me shame! So, this implies the trouble on Earth must be resolved, right?"

At this point, Mr. Lu’s expression calmed down, he said with a bitter smile: "Dad, Chuan’er is not even thirty years old yet. How could he break through to the Integration Realm? Maybe you sensed it wrong."

"Why not? You think you know my precious grandson well? How much time have you really spent with him since he was young?"

Elder Master Lu coldly glanced at his own son, eyes filled with disappointment.

"Little Lu Chen is also a good kid, Dad, why don’t you pay more attention to him?"

"Yes, Lu Chen is indeed a good child."

The old man took a deep breath and after a long silence, suddenly laughed.

"You keep naming Lu Chen, have you long forgotten you have an elder son too? You sure don’t care, you speak so well, claiming to relieve the longing for Lu Chuan is why you had another child. But since you miss him, why not go back and see? Don’t give me the excuse of lacking opportunity!

Whether or not you care, I, the old man, do!"

"Dad, what are you planning to do now?"

"Charge out! Find my grandson!"

"Dad, everyone outside is chasing us, could you calm down? If, as you say, Chuan’er really broke through to Integration Realm, he must be capable of protecting himself, and rushing out now will ruin all our efforts.

It’s not just for your son, it’s for your recklessness, for your grandson, please stop being so impulsive, alright?"

After hearing this, shock and incomprehension filled the old man’s eyes.

"You... what did you say? You called me impulsive?"

"Dad, I know you’re worried about Chuan’er. As parents, do you think we don’t worry about him? But the situation has come to this, we’ve already owed Lu Chuan too much, we can’t owe Lu Chen as well."

"Hehe... Hahaha! Good son, you’re truly my good son, how did I raise such a heartless being like you!"

"Dad, don’t blame him, he just spoke out of urgency. Speaking of this, it’s all my fault. If it wasn’t for me back then..."

Before the beautiful woman could finish, the old man waved his hand to interrupt her.

"Alright, I’m weary of discussing who’s right or wrong. Let’s continue our journey, once I send you to the destination, we’ll part ways. Where parents don’t care, I, as a grandfather, do!

Do you know what Lu Chuan has gone through over the years? Do you know what he faced? How severe his injuries were against strong enemies, and whom he could rely on during troubles?

I have never seen parents as selfish as you two."
