Chapter 3
What a Coincidence!

Lu Chen hastily dodged to the side, but no matter how he used his footwork.

Even in the end, he used his techniques, but Chen Sui Nian still firmly grasped Lu Chen's collar.

After Chen Sui Nian grabbed Lu Chen by the collar, Lu Chen was like a fox caught by the hunter, unable to move a muscle.

The black-clothed girl sitting to the side couldn't help but narrow her eyes at this sight.

As the saying goes, outsiders watch the excitement, while insiders look at the underlying meaning.

A master's skill reveals itself with just one move!

The black-clothed girl keenly perceived that the mysterious Daoist Lu Chen had not only used martial arts footwork, but also some techniques in this forbidden land.

This Cave Heaven suppresses cultivation, otherwise, in the outside world, he would be at least at the level of Divine Ability.

But despite this, he was still caught by the young man in front of him, which shows how powerful the young man's move was.

Chen Sui Nian held Lu Chen, smiling and saying, "What's wrong, Lu Chen? We haven't seen each other for a long time. I miss you so much!"

Lu Chen seemed to have resigned himself to fate, allowing Chen Sui Nian to do as he pleased.

Chen Sui Nian simply silently released Lu Chen's neck.

Lu Chen was about to put some distance between himself and Chen Sui Nian, but Chen Sui Nian put his arm around Lu Chen's shoulder, his right hand hooked around Lu Chen's neck.

From the black-clothed girl's perspective, Lu Chen and Chen Sui Nian were "hooking shoulders and backs," and they must be very good "friends."

Chen Sui Nian laughed, "Lu Chen, what are you doing here?"

Lu Chen said helplessly, "Didn't this Daoist say? I'm just resting..."

Chen Sui Nian said, "Seriously! Don't lie to me. You know, lying to me is pointless!"

Lu Chen's Qi became unsteady, after all, this "old acquaintance" really had some skills.

Chen Sui Nian was known as "Heaven's Calculation without Omission"!

Should he tell him or not?

If he told him? Based on this little ancestor's personality, the subsequent chess game would definitely be disrupted by Chen Sui Nian! If he made him unhappy, he'd just overturn the table!

If he didn't tell him? Then with his intelligence, he would find out sooner or later. When he found out on his own, he would be even more unrestrained...

This was the first time Chen Sui Nian had seen Lu Chen so hesitant.

Oh—!

It seems this Cave Heaven hides some incredible secrets.

Chen Sui Nian silently released Lu Chen's neck, creating some distance.

Lu Chen was still thinking about how to explain to Chen Sui Nian. But suddenly, his neck felt light, and he didn't know when Chen Sui Nian's hand had let go.

Chen Sui Nian stood beside him, silently watching him.

Before Lu Chen could speak, Chen Sui Nian opened his mouth first, "Big secret?"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Hmm."

"Related to me?"

"No."

"Then it doesn't matter, it's none of my business."

In the end, Chen Sui Nian didn't ask further, knowing when to stop.

Lu Chen was stunned again, gave a wry smile, and sighed.

It was indeed Chen Sui Nian's personality, if it wasn't his business, he wouldn't even bother.

The black-clothed girl furrowed her brows.

Their conversation was too simple, there was no important information to be gleaned.

But it could be confirmed that the unserious Daoist Lu Chen was indeed the headmaster of a Daoist lineage, just not which lineage.

Lu Chen suddenly realized, "Huh? Then why are you here?"

Yes, Chen Sui Nian had disrupted his rhythm just now, and he hadn't asked why Chen Sui Nian was here.

Chen Sui Nian just smiled, very seriously, "I'm here to find my family!"

"Aren't you an orphan?"

Lu Chen was puzzled, "And what does your family search have to do with me? Did you just happen to come to the smallest Bao Ping Zhou out of all the nine states of Hao Ran Heaven, and then find the Great Li Dynasty in Bao Ping Zhou, and then find this Li Zhu Cave Heaven in the most remote place of the Great Li country?"

Lu Chen became more and more excited, "And then you went to the most remote and humble Mud Bottle Alley in Li Zhu Cave Heaven, then found the smallest and least important house, and finally found your family by chance, meeting me?"

Chen Sui Nian nodded.

Lu Chen looked at him with a "You're trying to fool me" expression, "You're just here to cause trouble! Wasn't it just that you accidentally tricked me last time? Why are you so petty about it?"

Chen Sui Nian sneered, "Heh, a good "not serious"?

"There's a conspiracy! Could it be you really came to find your family? Why would you come to this dilapidated house to find your family? The owner of this house is called Chen Ping An, how could he be your... relative... hmm?"

No! Chen Ping An, Chen Sui Nian?

Ah?

Lu Chen swallowed, "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Lu Chen asked, "Are you related to Chen Ping An?"

Chen Sui Nian said, "Brother!"

Lu Chen continued confidently, "Oh, so you're brothers, hmm? What... brother?"

Chen Sui Nian nodded.

Lu Chen said he didn't believe it.

Lu Chen personally used his fingers to calculate.

The rules of this Cave Heaven seemed to have no effect on him, and the forbidden law suppression of Li Zhu Cave Heaven couldn't restrict him.

Lu Chen's expression became more and more strange.

Did Chen Ping An's parents leave the town?

And when they left, Chen Ping An's parents were already pregnant with Chen Sui Nian?

Then they accidentally gave birth to Chen Sui Nian, and after giving birth to him, they happened to encounter a war during the turbulent times, encountering a group of bandits, and Chen Sui Nian was separated from them ever since?

Then Chen Sui Nian drifted across the ocean and through the turbulent times, being trafficked to the Middle Land Divine State?

Lu Chen's teeth ached, this little ancestor really came to find his family.

What a coincidence, damn it!

If Chen Sui Nian was the child of that couple, the brother of the most unfortunate child in the Mud Bottle Alley...

Then this joke is getting out of hand.

Lu Chen didn't believe that Chen Sui Nian would not know about the dirty secrets of Chen Ping An and his parents.

If Chen Sui Nian was going to deal with this himself, he wouldn't be merciful.

This would likely ruin his senior brother's plans.

But he couldn't get involved, firstly, revenge was justified, secondly, Chen Sui Nian's identity was special, and he was also a friend.

If his senior brother and this little ancestor were to bump into each other...

Lu Chen looked at Chen Sui Nian.

Chen Sui Nian asked, "What, I came to find my family, not to cause trouble for you, are you not happy?"

Lu Chen noticed the calmness on Chen Sui Nian's face and the coolness in his eyes, occasionally flashing with a hint of happiness.

It was true, being alone, finding relatives was indeed something to be happy about!

Even Chen Sui Nian felt the same.

Perhaps he still doesn't know that his parents are dead?

Lu Chen laughed, "A prodigal son finding out he still has relatives is indeed something to be happy about."

Lu Chen curiously asked, "So how did you find out about your relatives? How did you find this remote Li Zhu Cave Heaven? Why didn't you find it before?"

Lu Chen's question was actually a probe to see if Chen Sui Nian knew about his parents' specific situation.

Chen Sui Nian said, "I was traveling through the nine states of Hao Ran Heaven, and when I came to the smallest Bao Ping Zhou, I suddenly felt a pang in my heart. I calculated with my fingers and suddenly discovered that I still had blood relatives, in a Cave Heaven in Great Li. I also calculated my brother's name, so I came here."

"After arriving here, I discovered that the formations of this Cave Heaven are very clever, concealing secrets, so I couldn't calculate it before, and I didn't pay attention to this matter before, I was focused on cultivating in seclusion."

Lu Chen knew from listening that Chen Sui Nian in front of him hadn't figured out the situation yet.

After all, knowing he still had relatives, Chen Sui Nian certainly wouldn't care about anything else.

The forbidden law domain of Li Zhu Cave Heaven was almost nonexistent for him.

As for why he could only sense Chen Ping An's name, after all, only Chen Ping An was left...
