Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

"Young master Chen, are you alright?", Li Shu asked with a worried tone in her voice. Kai Min also had a worried look on her face as she looked towards Zhan Chen.

"Why are you two looking so worried? Am not I just fine?", Zhan Chen looked towards Kai Min and Li Shu with a smile on his face.

He also noticed Li Yan and the worried expression on her face. She tried to change her expression but it couldn't escape his eyes. Zhan Chen felt slightly surprised and looked towards her.

Li Yan felt flustered after seeing Zhan Chen smiling towards her. She hurriedly avoided looking at him and bade her farewell to Li Shu and Kai Min.

"This girl is rather strange", Zhan Chen thought to himself after seeing the quick escape of Li Yan.

He took some time to coax both Li Shu and Kai Min as both of them were clearly worried about him in these few days. It didn't take much time before a smile appeared on both of their faces.

"Okay, we can talk while we are in our way. Go and tell your sister to get ready. We will leave the Serene wood inn after an hour", Zhan Chen looked towards Li Shu.

Li Shu nodded her head and went towards Li Yan's room. Kai Min also bade her farewell to Zhan Chen as she went towards her own room.

A contemplative look appeared on Zhan Chen's face after he sent both Li Shu and Kai Min to their rooms. "Five provinces, each provinces are bigger than the provinces of western region. Where we are now is called Earth province. We have to travel through the Earth province and enter the Cloud province which lies in the southern part of the central land", Zhan Chen thought to himself.

He was already aware about the geographically important locations of Central land. The Central land was made up of Snow province, Luan province, Earth province, Dragon province and Cloud province. The grand sect competition would be held on Cloud province. So, he and his group had to travel southward to enter the Cloud province.

"Young miss, they have left the Serene wood inn".

"Where are they now?", Lan Yueyue asked.

"They have entered a nearby restaurant", elder Sima replied.

"Well then. Follow me to that restaurant. I want to see for myself how capable that brat is", Lan Yueyue spoke. Elder Sima nodded his head and accompained city lord Yueyue towards the outside of the palace.

Both him and city lord Yueyue covered their faces with two plain looking masks because they didn't want to disclose their identities to public. They came out of the palace sneakily and their departure didn't cause any alarm in the ranks of the city guards.

Zhan Chen was currently sitting inside a nearby restaurant with Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min. A long journey was ahead. So, all of them wanted to have a nice meal before starting their journey.

Zhan Chen noticed both city lord Yueyue and the peak fifth stage expert with his soul consciousness even before they entered the perimeter of the restaurant. But he pretended like not seeing anything and continued to eat with Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min.

"Young miss, there he is", elder Sima pointed towards the direction of Zhan Chen's group after entering the restaurant.

"Let's meet them", Lan Yueyue spoke and walked towards the direction of Zhan Chen's table.

"These two are here for us. I wonder what is their purpose", Zhan Chen thought to himself as he avoided looking towards city lord Yueyue and elder Sima.

"Excuse me, young master. Will you share your table with me?", Lan Yueyue looked towards Zhan Chen after walking next to him.

Zhan Chen gave a meaningful look to Lan Yueyue and spoke, "There is no problem at all. Moreover it is a bonus for me as another beauty joins me in my launch", Zhan Chen spoke.

"Young master is flattering me", Lan Yueyue replied with a smile. She felt slightly amused after hearing the praises of Zhan Chen who was many years younger than her.

"Three young miss, is there any problem if I share the table with you?", Lan Yueyue looked towards Li Shu, Kai Min and Li Yan.

"No problem", Li Yan replied plainly.

"Big sis, you are welcome", Li Shu replied with a smile. Kai Min didn't speak anything but she moved her legs a little to make space for Lan Yueyue.

"Thanks for your hospitality", Lan Yueyue spoke as she sat opposite to Zhan Chen. Zhan Chen didn't speak anything to start the conversation as he wanted to see the purpose of city lord Yueyue in meeting him.

"Young master, have you come from the Western region?", Lan Yueyue looked towards Zhan Chen.

"Yes", Zhan Chen nodded his head.

"You have entered the remnant of Cleansing incense ancient sect and battled with the Lu family there, am I right?", Lan Yueyue spoke further.

Zhan Chen nodded his head again and pretended as if he was surprised after hearing the words of Lan Yueyue.

"How do you know all of this?", Zhan Chen pretended to be surprised and asked city lord Yueyue. But inwardly he was feeling amused because he wanted to see what game the beautiful city lord wanted to play with him.

"I have my own sources. Moreover, your name is already popular because you dare to kill the younger brother of Lu Wentian", Lan Yueyue spoke.

"Miss, is this Lu Wentian powerful?", Kai Min intervened in the conversation between Zhan Chen and Lan Yueyue.

"Have you never heard of Lu Wentian before?", Lan Yueyue looked towards the group of Zhan Chen with a surprised look in her face.

She didn't receive any answer but from the blank looks of Li Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min, she got her answer. Contrary to the girls, Zhan Chen had a calm expression in his face. He could already guess the purpose of Lan Yueyue. So, he didn't need to pretend anymore.

Zhan Chen could guess that she was here to examine him. He let her do what she pleased because he could tell that she had no malicious intention.

Their conversations lasted for an entire hour. Lan Yueyue stood up to leave after having a brief conversation with Li, Yan, Li Shu and Kai Min.

"Tell me one thing. You and Shen Ruyan ..?", she looked towards Zhan Chen before leaving her seat.

"She is my woman", Zhan Chen replied in a soft yet firm voice.

A satisfied smile appeared on Lan Yueyue's face as she walked out of the restaurant but what she didn't know that a same kind of smile appeared on Zhan Chen's face after she left the restaurant.

'I wonder if the technique will work on her. It is my first time using the Soul seed technique on a woman. If everything goes well then she will look for me within few days", Zhan Chen thought to himself.
