Chapter 1384 You Have Been Wronged
Lu Hao Chen felt a bit uncertain, which was why he asked.
After all, he had always heard that the Chen family didn't have many talented individuals. The only two at the Nascent Soul stage were the Chen family's Saintess and the family's patriarch.
Besides them, no other Nascent Soul cultivators had been heard of.
Yet, the communication Chen Yang had just had with the Chen family's Saintess sounded like they were biological siblings!
This made him feel somewhat peculiar.
Chen Yang's mind was still replaying the image of Chen Ning. They had not seen each other for nearly twenty years, yet after just one glance, both had recognized each other's identities.
"Yes, she's my sister."
"Could the Beast Taming Sect help me retrieve some information about this Chen family?"
"How many spirit stones do you need? I can give them to you now."
Chen Yang's demeanor was somewhat urgent because he had just learned another extremely important piece of information: his mother was still alive.
Lu Hao Chen had mentioned earlier that the current head of the Chen family was the sister's mother, also a Nascent Soul cultivator. This came as a great surprise to Chen Yang.
"Information about the Chen family? I'll look into it after I go back."
Chen Yang accompanied the other party back to the Beast Taming Sect and soon obtained all the relevant data.
Although the Chen family was once a top-tier aristocratic family, it had declined. A thousand years ago, they hadn't even produced a Golden Core stage cultivator.
It wasn't until the current Chen family head and the Chen family's Saintess emerged that the Chen family reappeared in the public eye.
Most importantly, the two of them cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage at an incredibly rapid pace!
Even the Luo Sheng Dynasty, with two Nascent Soul cultivators in one family, was extremely rare.
The Chen family quickly gained the favor of many factions.
"The Chen family had some ties to the Soldier King lineage in the past. It's now widely rumored that if the Chen family's Saintess wanted to take over the position of Soldier King, it would only be a matter of words."
"The current Soldier King is advanced in age and is said to want to go into seclusion for a breakthrough."
"However, things are not as simple as they seem, in my opinion."
"The elite soldiers and fierce generals under the Soldier King all earned their positions through arduous battles and bloodshed."
"The Chen family's Saintess has appeared out of nowhere. Even if her ancestors had ties to the Soldier King lineage, she would likely face significant resistance in taking over that position."
As Lu Hao Chen spoke, he suddenly thought of something. "When the Chen family wanted to refuse the Luo Emperor, the Soldier King did not speak. Instead, it was the Imperial Tutor Wu Yun Han, from the court, who spoke a few words in support of the Chen family."
Chen Yang pondered for a moment before stating in a deep voice, "Imperial Tutor Wu Yun Han? Why would this person help the Chen family?"
"They shouldn't be on the Luo Emperor's side?"
After reviewing so much information, Chen Yang had also understood how the major powers of the Luo Sheng Dynasty maintained their balance.
Logically, the faction to which Imperial Tutor Wu Yun Han belonged had the Soldier King as their greatest enemy.
They were closely allied with the Luo Emperor in the imperial court.
Furthermore, due to the Imperial Tutor's status, the Luo Emperor was constrained by him.
At such a time, why would he suddenly intervene?
Lu Hao Chen slowly shook his head and explained somewhat awkwardly, "Although the Beast Taming Sect possesses some intelligence, we dare not delve too deeply into the affairs of these individuals. Otherwise, if they were to come knocking on our door one day, my position would be extremely awkward!"
Chen Yang understood his hesitation and did not press further. Instead, he focused his attention on waiting for Chen Ning.
By the time Chen Ning arrived at the Beast Taming Sect, the sky had begun to darken.
The two of them did not linger long at the Beast Taming Sect. Chen Ning said to Chen Yang, "I've already had someone inform Mother. You'll be able to see her soon."
"Let's go home first."
"Although the Chen family is not located in Luo Sheng City, they have their own residences within the city. Everyone inside and out is one of us."
After bidding farewell to Lu Hao Chen, the two headed towards the Chen family's residence.
Along the way, Chen Yang continuously answered Chen Ning's various questions.
Chen Yang recounted in detail all the experiences he had gone through over the years.
Including how he arrived here and his connection to the Tian Qin Domain, and so on.
Chen Ning did not doubt Chen Yang in the slightest, as he was her brother.
"Your mysterious methods were also something I had never heard of before. Mother and I were saved by an ancestor of the Chen family back then, and they likely used the same method as what you described from the Qin family."
"We tried everything in our power to find you over the years, but there was no way."
"I never expected you to find your own way here!"
"Nascent Soul stage... You've improved step by step. Your sister wasn't by your side to protect your path, you have been wronged."
Chen Ning did not mention the myriad of hardships she had encountered here. She only hoped that her brother would not blame her.
If she had been able to protect Chen Yang back then, then all the subsequent events would not have fallen entirely on Chen Yang's shoulders.
"Don't worry, Sister. I've found a way back. Once the matters in the Tian Qin Domain are settled, I'll take you and Mother back."
"By then, Liu Ran's child should also be born. Our family can live together from then on!"
That night, neither Chen Yang nor Chen Ning got any rest.
They had too many things to confide in each other.
Chen Yang also wanted to ask how his sister and mother had reached the Nascent Soul stage.
The next morning, Chen Yang stretched his body, preparing to cook something for them himself.
However, before Chen Yang could tidy up, a gate attendant from the Chen family suddenly ran over, looking anxious. "There's a woman outside the gate shouting, saying she wants to see the young master."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yang immediately expanded his spiritual sense. When he saw that it was Fu Xue Qin, Chen Yang hastily patted his forehead.
He had left in too much of a hurry yesterday and had forgotten to leave a message for Fu Xue Qin. He had no idea how this girl had managed to find him.
Chen Ning covered her mouth and chuckled. "Since you know her, hurry up and invite her in. I'd like to see which young lady you've attracted after coming here."
Chen Yang coughed awkwardly and explained, "Sister, your brother is very honest."
As they were speaking, Fu Xue Qin also ran in.
Seeing that Chen Yang was unharmed, Fu Xue Qin's worried heart finally relaxed.
"Didn't I say I'd be back soon? Why didn't you leave me a message?"
"If I hadn't found Tian Hui Huang, I wouldn't have known you were here!"
"And who is this?"
Fu Xue Qin looked at Chen Ning, who was standing beside Chen Yang, with a conflicted expression.
Fu Xue Qin had always been confident in her appearance, but the moment she saw Chen Ning, Fu Xue Qin inexplicably felt a slight nervousness.
Whether it was her beauty, temperament, or other qualities, Chen Ning almost completely overshadowed her.
Chen Ning took two steps forward and linked arms with Fu Xue Qin. Chen Ning smiled. "You must be Xue Qin, right? Yang Yang told me yesterday that he was able to come to the Luo Sheng Dynasty thanks to your help."
"My name is Chen Ning, and I am his sister, his biological sister."
