Chapter 2206: Chapter 1896: Has Lu Chen Been Possessed by a Sinister Entity?

After hearing Lu Chen’s words, the female Hidden Guard who was dressing Lu Chen replied, "Young Master, no other issues have been found for now."

Lu Chen thought for a moment and then said, "In two hours, besides the patrolling soldiers, have everyone from the Zhen Nan Prince Manor proceed to the Training Ground..."

Speaking up to this point, Lu Chen paused for a moment, then glanced slightly at the Hidden Guard beside him with his eye’s corner, continuing, "Including the Hidden Guards of the Zhen Nan Prince Manor."

This...

Upon hearing this, the two Hidden Guards dressing Lu Chen were obviously taken aback.

Even though the Hidden Guards of Zhen Nan Prince Manor will ultimately be inherited by Lu Chen, when Lu Chen becomes Prince Zhen Nan, these Hidden Guards will be under Lu Chen’s command, as Lu Chen is the only child of the Zhen Nan Prince Manor.

However, in the past, the Hidden Guards were rarely directly mobilized by Lu Chen, even the ones responsible for Lu Chen’s safety were mobilized by Bai Qingqing.

Now that Lu Chen directly commands the Hidden Guards, the two female Hidden Guards were momentarily left without a response.

Not only were the two female Hidden Guards caught off guard, Bai Qingqing was similarly surprised.

For some reason, Bai Qingqing felt that Lu Chen’s demeanor had changed drastically, now possessing the aura of someone in power, something Lu Chen wasn’t like before.

Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but think, although amnesia can alter a person’s character, it shouldn’t change it so dramatically; the aura Lu Chen displayed earlier couldn’t have been cultivated overnight.

Just amnesia allows one to possess the aura of authority?

It seems unlikely.

Could it be...

Lu Chen is possessed by some eerie spirit?

If this is the case, it might explain everything logically.

No way, she must report this to Prince Zhen Nan, while Prince Zhen Nan is still alive, they need to figure out a way to remove the bizarre spirit from Lu Chen.

However, before doing that, she plans to first see why Lu Chen wants to gather everyone in the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, even including the Hidden Guards.

If Lu Chen is indeed possessed by an eerie spirit, there must be a special reason for his actions. Could someone be seeking to attack the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, where he gathers everyone so that someone could take the opportunity to invade and assassinate Prince Zhen Nan?

If this is the case, she must stop Lu Chen.

Thinking of this, Bai Qingqing directly reminded Lu Chen by saying, "Young... Darling, this matter might need father dear’s consent."

Upon hearing Bai Qingqing’s reminder, Lu Chen realized that he is still only the Princely Heir. Although the Zhen Nan Prince Manor will eventually be his, as long as his dear father is still alive for just one more day, it’s ultimately his dear father’s decision; indeed he should mention it to him.

Lu Chen said, "I’ll just head to where my father is, and bring up this matter along the way."

Speaking up to this point, Lu Chen said to the female Hidden Guard, "Find a few more people to help Consort Bai dress."

A female Hidden Guard said, "Yes, Young Master."

After speaking, the female Hidden Guard exited the room, and soon returned with several examined Mansion Maids to help Bai Qingqing with her washing and dressing.

After both of them were ready, they went together to Prince Zhen Nan’s room.

Perhaps due to witnessing his son get married, Prince Zhen Nan’s condition improved significantly today. When Lu Chen and Bai Qingqing arrived at Prince Zhen Nan’s room, Prince Zhen Nan was fully seated and seemed much more spirited, the Death Qi around him seemed to have faded a little.

Seeing Lu Chen and Bai Qingqing arrive together, Prince Zhen Nan immediately smiled. Last night, the Hidden Guard had thoroughly reported everything to him, including how Lu Chen spent the entire night tormenting Bai Qingqing.

Prince Zhen Nan never imagined that his son would suddenly come to wisdom. In the past, Lu Chen was most afraid of Bai Qingqing, even avoided her while walking, but unexpectedly having amnesia suddenly made him so brave.

If Lu Chen continues like this, it probably won’t be long before he has a grandchild. The thought of having a grandchild soon made Prince Zhen Nan’s desire to live grow stronger.

After Lu Chen and Bai Qingqing entered the room, they simultaneously greeted, "Greetings, father dear!!!"

Prince Zhen Nan said with a smile, "You may rise."

At this moment, Lu Chen said to the female Hidden Guard behind him, "Immediately have the Mansion Steward bring the Heavenly Soul New Year Fruit."

The female Hidden Guard said, "Yes, Young Master."

After speaking, the female Hidden Guard turned and left.

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Prince Zhen Nan instantly understood what Lu Chen intended to do. He already knew yesterday that Ji Yunmeng sent a Heavenly Soul New Year Fruit to the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, and was aware of Ji Yunmeng’s intent to ally with the Zhen Nan Prince Manor.

However, he did not have someone fetch the Heavenly Soul New Year Fruit, for it was a wedding gift from Ji Yunmeng to Lu Chen, and Prince Zhen Nan believed he wouldn’t live much longer anyway. Even using the Heavenly Soul New Year Fruit might not yield much effect.

It would be better to use the Heavenly Soul New Year Fruit on Lu Chen; since Lu Chen is just a normal person, consuming the Heavenly Soul New Year Fruit could suppress the Spirit Evil Qi within his body and greatly extend his lifespan.

Lu Chen needs the Heavenly Soul New Year Fruit more than he does as someone nearing death.

At this moment, Prince Zhen Nan spoke, "Chen’er, your father’s time is near, the Heavenly Soul New Year Fruit should be kept for you to use, you are just ordinary..."

Prince Zhen Nan was just about to say that Lu Chen is an ordinary person and therefore needed the Heavenly Soul New Year Fruit more, but then he saw the heavy Spirit Evil Qi emanating from Lu Chen.

Witnessing this, Prince Zhen Nan was momentarily stunned. What is going on, wasn’t his son an ordinary person? How did he become a Spirit Martial Artist?

He was present during the test when Lu Chen was a child for absorbing Spirit Evil Qi, Lu Chen’s body simply could not withstand large amounts of Spirit Evil Qi intake.

How could he possibly have suddenly become a Spirit Martial Artist?

Momentarily, Prince Zhen Nan’s expression grew more serious, his gaze turned to Bai Qingqing beside Lu Chen, suspecting Bai Qingqing might know what was going on.

Although he was very curious, Prince Zhen Nan did not immediately ask Lu Chen what was happening, as he shared the same thought as Bai Qingqing, in his opinion, no matter what happened to Lu Chen, Lu Chen was unlikely to directly reveal the reason, and they would need to investigate themselves.

At this moment, Lu Chen looked at Prince Zhen Nan and said, "Father dear, please don’t say that, Princess Yun’an sending the Heavenly Soul New Year Fruit is clearly intended for you to use; who knows, perhaps the Heavenly Soul New Year Fruit’s effects are excellent enough to extend your life for decades."

Returning from his prior shock, Prince Zhen Nan said with a bitter smile, "Chen’er, your father knows his own body well, even if the Heavenly Soul New Year Fruit has some effect, at most it might only extend life for a few months."

Lu Chen said, "Even extending life for a few months is enough. Don’t you want to see your grandchild born?"

Hearing Lu Chen’s words, Prince Zhen Nan’s heart was stirred, indeed he greatly desired to see his grandchild born.

Just at this moment, the Mansion Steward had already delivered the Heavenly Soul New Year Fruit to the room.
