Lu Chen had just stepped onto the stairs to the third floor when he sensed that something was off. It seemed that an incident had occurred.
Lu Chen immediately became alert, quietly standing still to listen. He even employed the Unity of Man technique to conceal his presence.
He was now extremely cautious and careful, as this was the capital city, far more complicated than Yuyang City. Here, Hidden Dragon, Crouching Tiger, there was no telling how many experts were around, especially recently, when the situation had become chaotic and concerning.
Lu Chen stood motionless on the stairs like a Specter, quietly listening to everything happening on the third floor. At this moment, he was acutely aware of how many people were above him, who they were—male or female—and their breathing and heartbeats.
Meanwhile, on the third floor, a different scene was unfolding. Everyone had stopped what they were doing; the Noble Heirs were dumbfounded, holding cups filled with wine, forgetting to drink. Naturally, Su Mo Li had also stopped playing the piano.
"I don't know what you two gentlemen want. I'm just a Courtesan in this tavern trying to make a living by singing. How could I possibly be involved with you? What Yuan Family? What Demon King Dynasty? I have no idea what you're talking about. Please don't block my business," Su Mo Li said with a hint of grievance in her tone, pretending not to recognize anyone.
"Hmph, Sister Su Mo Li, stop pretending. You can fool those fools, but you can't fool us brothers. Quickly tell us where Lu Chen is; he killed Yuan Jia, and our Yuan Family is hunting him down everywhere. We have no idea where he has gone," said a young man in his twenties with a calm tone, looking down on Su Mo Li's tricks from the bottom of his heart.
The "fools" he referred to clearly mocked the Noble Heirs present on the third floor. His words immediately sparked anger among many, who shot him furious glances. However, under the pressure of these two individuals' aura, they dared not speak recklessly or directly seek trouble.
"Hmph! This gentleman is making quite a joke. I'm not who you say I am—Su Mo Li; I don't know Lu Chen either or where he is. Are you not afraid that I might report you?" Su Mo Li feigned innocence, drawing sympathetic looks from the Noble Heirs. If it weren't for the inappropriate timing, they would have rushed over to defend her.
"Report?" The young man replied sarcastically with disdain in his voice. "I seem to have heard the most ridiculous thing from downstairs. Sister Su Mo Li, one of Su Family's Twelve Golden Hairpins, actually thinks of reporting when she encounters trouble? You're really good at pretending; it's quite amusing and almost caught me off guard—hahaha."
Lu Chen remained motionless on the stairs; the person speaking exuded a very stable aura and was definitely not an ordinary Noble Heir—he was undoubtedly an expert.
It was someone from the Yuan Family; it seemed they had indeed come looking for trouble. However, Lu Chen was curious about how quickly news of his arrival in the capital had spread. It didn't make sense—could it be that Su Mo Li had betrayed him and staged this act?
"Hahaha! All of Su Family's Twelve Golden Hairpins are incredibly cunning; now I've seen it firsthand. However, my brothers and I are merely deducing based on the situation that Lu Chen will definitely appear in the capital soon. So we came here to test Sister Su and see if you know any inside information. Our previous actions were purely unintentional; we apologize for any offense caused. We will take our leave now."
The young man suddenly laughed. The previous conversation was merely a test, an unintentional act that didn't match the situation.
Upon hearing this, everyone sighed. The noble heirs were cursing in their hearts, thinking these two were truly out of their minds.
After finishing, the two young men nodded to each other and then left directly through the window.
Seeing this scene, Su Mo Li's eyes sparkled with a hint of killing intent. If it were any other time, she would have acted long ago; there was no need to endure for so long.
Moreover, those two were truly despicable for coming here to test her, clearly not taking her seriously.
However, due to the location and circumstances, she ultimately held back and did not act rashly; otherwise, it would have led to a major conflict.
To continue concealing her identity, Su Mo Li pretended to be a courtesan playing music and singing to gather information, so she endured.
The two young men had already left and did not linger nearby; they walked far away as if they had come and gone without a trace. This made Lu Chen reconsider their intentions but ultimately dismissed the thought.
Lu Chen was never afraid of trouble and would not hide just because the opponent was skilled. On the contrary, he found stronger opponents more interesting, as long as he could ensure his own safety.
When Lu Chen appeared from the stairs, the two young men had already gone far away. He walked over and exchanged a glance with Su Mo Li; they nodded in understanding before Lu Chen found a place to sit down.
They did not speak directly. Su Mo Li continued to play music while Lu Chen quietly sat at a table, pouring himself a drink as if he were genuinely there to perform.
As evening approached and everyone dispersed, Su Mo Li instructed her maid to close the doors and curtains just like the night before. She then sat down opposite Lu Chen, and only then did they begin to communicate.
"Did you know those two came looking for me today?" Su Mo Li asked with great concern.
Lu Chen nodded but did not respond verbally. Although he hadn't arrived in time for their conversation, he could guess the main points based on his deductions.
"Do you know them?" Su Mo Li asked again.
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know them, but they should be from the Yuan Family. I heard most of their conversation."
"Yes, that's right. The young man speaking is Yuan Yi, the brother of Yuan Jia. The other one is Yuan Rang. They are the new Yuan Family Twin Heroes. Don't underestimate these two; they are not like Yuan Jia and are not so easy to deal with," Su Mo Li urged.
Lu Chen nodded and said, "I understand. That's why I didn't act recklessly today. Otherwise, do you think they could have left so easily? Since they came looking for me, I can't let them leave empty-handed."
At this moment, Lu Chen could still recall the aura of those two individuals; they were indeed very powerful and on a completely different level from Yuan Jia. It seemed that the Yuan Family had truly cultivated some strong experts.
"Hey? Your aura has changed today," Su Mo Li suddenly exclaimed, realizing only now that Lu Chen's aura was completely different from when they last met.
"Did you just notice?" Lu Chen asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Su Mo Li's face flushed slightly, and she was also a bit shocked. "You have already become a Void Immortal?"
Su Mo Li gasped in disbelief; she could hardly imagine that Lu Chen had already reached the Void Immortal stage. With the Spirit-Body Unity realm, he was practically the youngest Void Immortal.
Lu Chen remained silent, just smiling at Su Mo Li with an enigmatic expression.
"It seems you have truly entered the Void Immortal realm. That's wonderful news! I was wondering why you hadn't come by these days; turns out you were off training. It's really unexpected."
Su Mo Li's mouth slightly opened in surprise; she still hadn't recovered from her shock.
"It's not as serious as you think. Although I have entered the Void Immortal realm and grasped both reality and illusion, there are so many experts out there that I hardly count for anything," Lu Chen said lightly, his tone extremely humble, embodying the demeanor of a grand master.
He behaves this way out of humility, true humility. If he were arrogant and conceited, he wouldn't be Lu Chen. Lu Chen himself is not that kind of egotist.
In fact, how important is a Void Immortal? Within the entire Lower Major Sect, there are not many Void Immortals.
Take the Five Element Sect as an example. Aside from the two Supreme Masters and a few elders who have broken through to become Void Immortals, the rest have not achieved this status, totaling no more than twenty.
Not only the Five Element Sect, but other Sects are similar. Star Gate, Xuan Huang Sect, and others are about the same. Yin Yang Gate is an exception; it has very few members, so having a Void Immortal there is not surprising.
Especially for the Seven Great Families of the Demon King Dynasty, which belong to secular forces and have a competitive spirit that is very much in the open. If one of them produces a Void Immortal, it is a significant event, indicating an increase in their family's power.
So, how important is a Void Immortal? For a Sect's power, it is naturally very important.
"They are all looking for you. What do you plan to do? You can't keep hiding forever," Su Mo Li said, surprisingly concerned about Lu Chen's safety.
"Hiding? Where did you get that idea? Do I look like someone who enjoys hiding? It's not that I don't want to meet them; it's just that the time hasn't come yet. When the time comes, some matters will naturally come to an end," Lu Chen replied calmly.
"I came to the capital simply to meet with the heirs of various Major Sects and observe the situation. As for personal grudges, I am not that interested," Lu Chen stated succinctly.
Su Mo Li nodded and looked at Lu Chen. "I was too presumptuous. You are already a Void Immortal. In the Lower Major Sects, if it's not great love, it's great hatred. Given your immense strength, I think it won't be easy for them to deal with you."
