309: Deteriorated

At first, Luo Qingxue thought it was her imagination, but as time passed, the feeling in her heart became more and more irrepressible. Only then did Luo Qingxue realize that she had fallen in love with Lu Chen!

This feeling made Luo Qingxue very depressed, as her relationship with Lu Chen was not just a simple Revered Master-Disciple bond!

One must know, she had raised Lu Chen for over twenty years. Although she wasn't his biological mother, she had fulfilled the responsibilities of one!

This feeling, we call it the deterioration of maternal love.

Such a matter, in the Tianxuan Continent, would definitely be blown out of proportion! And her situation was already quite serious!

Therefore, for all these years, Luo Qingxue had suppressed her feelings, not letting them show.

Whenever she felt the urge to express them, she would force herself to practice Alchemy to calm herself down.

As an Alchemy Emperor, she rarely performed Alchemy anymore, but due to the feelings in her heart, she had been doing it more and more often in recent years.

Sometimes, for a simple task, she would offer to personally perform Alchemy as a reward.

This also caused Lu Chen's status to rise very quickly. In just a few years, he became the top person among the younger generation of Qingling Holy Land, and even had a chance to become a Saint.

Although she dared not express her feelings, Luo Qingxue's possessiveness was still very strong, which was why she ordered Lu Chen not to approach other women.

On the surface, this all seemed to be for Lu Chen's sake, for his own good, but in reality, it was just her little selfish thought.

“When will you understand Revered Master's feelings for you? I truly hope that day comes soon!”

“Revered Master will wait for you slowly. We still have a long time! I'm not in a hurry at all!”

Luo Qingxue thought to herself.

Lu Chen stood respectfully to the side, looking at Luo Qingxue's faint smile, a hint of doubt arising in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask too much.

In the past, Luo Qingxue wasn't like this; it was hard to make an Empress smile.

But ever since he had grown up, Luo Qingxue had been smiling more and more often, and he wondered if it was because she knew!

Lu Chen didn't dare to think in that direction, mainly because he was afraid of becoming a clown.

After all, Luo Qingxue wasn't like Junior Sister Liu. If he was wrong, then he would truly be a clown.

“Sit down!”

Luo Qingxue gently raised her fair wrist, signaling Lu Chen to sit down, and Lu Chen immediately found a spot and sat.

“How was your trip this time? Did you encounter any trouble? The Chu family didn't make things difficult for you, did they?”

Luo Qingxue said gently.

“Trouble… no, it went quite smoothly this time, and I got the Spiritual Plants successfully!”

Lu Chen didn't dare to tell Luo Qingxue about being humiliated by Su Xuan because it was too embarrassing!

He had to get his revenge himself!

“That's good! With this, the Saint Child Selection will be perfectly completed! You must win this Saint position, understand?”

Luo Qingxue said.

Winning the Saint position meant Lu Chen would have more resources, and with more resources, he would grow faster.

When Lu Chen grew up, and they were together, who would dare to criticize them?

“Don't worry, Revered Master! This time, I am determined to win! With my current Alchemy skills, no one in the younger generation of Qingling Holy Land can compare!”

Lu Chen said confidently.

Seeing Lu Chen's confident appearance, Luo Qingxue involuntarily shivered, because she thought he was simply too handsome!

“Confidence is good, but don't be blindly confident, otherwise it becomes arrogance!”

Luo Qingxue admonished Lu Chen.

“Disciple understands!”

Seeing Lu Chen so obedient, Luo Qingxue smiled again.

“By the way, where did Susu go? Didn't she come back with you?”

Only now did Luo Qingxue realize that Liu Su Su, who had set out with Lu Chen, had not returned with him!

Liu Su Su was her adopted daughter, yet Luo Qingxue only noticed now; this was truly too irresponsible!

“Junior Sister Liu… something happened, so she didn't come back with me…”

Lu Chen hesitated, wondering whether to tell Luo Qingxue about Liu Su Su and Su Xuan.

After all, if he told Luo Qingxue, Liu Su Su might be scolded for it.

However, as soon as he thought of Liu Su Su and Su Xuan together, Lu Chen became furious.

In the end, he told Luo Qingxue everything about Su Xuan and Liu Su Su in detail.

“The thing is, Junior Sister Liu met a Dao Companion at the Chu family with whom she can love for a lifetime, so she hasn't returned yet. She said she wants to spend a few more days with her Dao Companion!”

Of course, Lu Chen wouldn't say that he had left Liu Su Su at the Chu family and returned alone.

However, he hadn't said anything wrong. Liu Su Su indeed had a Dao Companion, and he had already returned to Qingling Holy Land, while Liu Su Su hadn't, which meant Liu Su Su wanted to spend more time with Su Xuan!

“So that's how it is!”

Luo Qingxue nodded.

“Wait a minute? You just said, Susu has a Dao Companion?”

Luo Qingxue only just snapped back to reality.

“That's right! Junior Sister Liu indeed has a Dao Companion!”

Seeing Luo Qingxue's reaction, Lu Chen inwardly smirked. This was the reaction he had been expecting!

“Come on! Now she should scold Liu Su Su, and then some punishment later, right?”

Lu Chen's mind was a bit twisted now. He used to cherish Liu Su Su like a treasure, but now he wished Luo Qingxue would punish Liu Su Su!

Preferably, she would be confined indefinitely, so she and Su Xuan would never see each other again!

However, Luo Qingxue's subsequent reaction was beyond Lu Chen's expectation.

“How is Susu's Dao Companion? Is he handsome? What's his name? How's his talent?”

Luo Qingxue not only wasn't angry but looked at Lu Chen with a gossipy expression.

“Ah?”

Luo Qingxue's reply completely stumped Lu Chen. He had just prepared a bunch of words to slander Liu Su Su, but Luo Qingxue's words directly made him swallow them back!

“Revered Master… I mean, Junior Sister, she found a Dao Companion…”

Lu Chen repeated.

“I know! I'm asking who he is, how his talent is, and if he's good to your Junior Sister!”

Luo Qingxue was also a bit puzzled. Had Lu Chen not heard what she said? He asked again.

“Revered Master, aren't you going to scold her?”

Lu Chen finally couldn't help but blurt it out.

“Scold? Why would I scold her! First of all, Susu is my daughter, even though she's not biological, I've always treated her as my own. How could I scold her over such a small matter!”
