Chapter 333: Chapter 234: The Storm that Swept Over Great Xia Arrives_2

Having come back to his senses, Lu Chen took another look at Dongfang Longyue.

Dongfang Longyue wore a white belt around her waist, perfectly accentuating her curvaceous figure. Her temperament was very similar to that of Chen Wanrong, both of whom were the epitome of women with an Immortal Aura.

However, she gave Lu Chen a different feeling. When he was in front of Chen Wanrong without having made any physical contact with her, it was difficult for Lu Chen to harbor even the slightest inappropriate thought about her.

But the moment Lu Chen saw Dongfang Longyue, he conceived the desire to have relations with her, to have her bear his children, and he felt an incomparable restlessness within him.

With a smile on her lips and peerlessly beautiful features, Dongfang Longyue seemed like an intelligent elder sister, which reminded Lu Chen of the neighbor’s elder sister from his previous life.

Of course, Dongfang Longyue was not the neighbor’s elder sister from his previous life, although they bore a striking resemblance.

He remembered that the first time he ever felt an urge toward a woman in his previous life was because of his neighbor’s elder sister, wanting to engage in certain activities with her—a phase every man goes through.

Lu Chen couldn’t help but think that, despite already being a father of several children, he could still feel such a stirring in his heart.

It seemed that the pressure he had been under recently was too great, and he hadn’t taken the time to relax properly. If he had relaxed, he probably wouldn’t feel such impulses.

After regaining his composure, Lu Chen coughed and said, “My Prince has heard that the Dongfang Family has cooperated with my father, the Sum Emperor, recently. Is it true or not?”

Dongfang Longyue answered calmly, “Replying to the Prince, my father plans to bring the Dongfang Family into the imperial court. Therefore, he has chosen to pledge allegiance to His Majesty actively, preparing to cooperate with His Majesty in eradicating other Aristocratic Families.”

Hearing this, Lu Chen laughed and said, “Isn’t your father afraid that my father, the Sum Emperor, will turn against him once his purpose is served?”

Dongfang Longyue responded, “The Dongfang Clan has a Grandmaster, as well as numerous merchant ships. Furthermore, the Dongfang Clan does not own much fixed land in Great Sum, and can leave the Great Xia Dynasty at any time. From my father’s perspective, it wouldn’t be difficult for the Dongfang Family to break away from the Great Xia Dynasty.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen was briefly taken aback.

The system had not told him just now about the existence of a Grandmaster within the Dongfang Family. If he included himself, wouldn’t that mean that the North Country already had three Grandmasters? Some dynasties didn’t even have three Grandmasters openly, and he hadn’t expected his own feudal state to have acquired three Grandmasters so quickly.

At this moment, Dongfang Longyue asked, “Prince, does the Dongfang Family need to relocate to the North Country?”

Since the Son of Destiny had already appeared, their family should follow their mission and assist the Son of Destiny.

Currently, the Dongfang Family resided in Sufeng City, which was quite distant from the North Country. If Lu Chen needed anything, they could not mobilize the full strength of the family to assist him in a timely manner, so it would be better to move the entire family to the North Country.

Of course, if they truly made such a move, they were likely to offend many people, including several Aristocratic Families and the Sum Emperor.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen then said, “There’s no need for now. By the way, since the Dongfang Family is cooperating with my father, you should have a rough idea of when he plans to make his move, right?”

Dongfang Longyue replied, “Yes, it is scheduled for the early part of next month. His Majesty plans to force the Crown Prince and others to retreat to Sufeng City, to coerce them into rebelling, and then take action against them.”

“His Majesty has long used the Dongfang Clan’s merchant ships to transfer tens of thousands of elite soldiers to the southeastern coast. Once the Aristocratic Families of the South and the Crown Prince rebel, His Majesty will send troops immediately. With a pincer attack from both sides, the Southern Aristocratic Families will likely not last half a year without the support of other Seigniors.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen chuckled. He truly had not expected his father, the Sum Emperor, to be so well-prepared. It appeared he had underestimated his father’s capabilities.

Lu Chen glanced at Dongfang Longyue’s flawless face and then continued to ask, “Is it possible that those Aristocratic Families might also have a Grandmaster? If a Grandmaster appears, what does my father intend to do?”

“I am not certain,” Dongfang Longyue replied, “but I have heard that in order to completely eliminate the major Southern Aristocratic Families, His Majesty has sent envoys not only to Four Directions Mountain and Fixed Wind Mountain but even to Peach Blossom Valley.”

Hearing Dongfang Longyue mention these three places, Lu Chen pretty much guessed what his father intended to do.

It was rumored that a Grandmaster existed in each of these places. His father sending people there clearly meant he sought to collaborate with the Grandmasters from these locations. If these Grandmasters supported his father, it would be much easier for his father to annihilate the Southern Aristocratic Families.

Of course, if the Grandmasters from these places chose to remain neutral, it would still be a good outcome for his father.

At that moment, Lu Chen fell into deep thought. Once rebellion occurred in the South, if the other Seigniors took no action, then his father should have no problem in eradicating the Southern Aristocratic Families.

But the key issue was that some Seigniors had been suppressed too harshly and had long been considering rebellion. If the Southern Aristocratic Families and the Crown Prince rebelled, then it was possible that other Seigniors might also leap into action. If these two forces were to converge, his father’s well-laid plans might come to naught.

While Lu Chen pondered this, his gaze swept back and forth across Dongfang Longyue.

Being stared at so intently by Lu Chen, Dongfang Longyue felt an unusual sensation stir within her.
