Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife

Wu Junwan left the North Prince Mansion with some anger still lingering in her heart. Although she thought that Lu Chen's provocative words were only meant to dissuade her, she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

This young man had actually teased her, the Princess of Great Wu—and she was already in her thirties, old enough to be his mother.

Just as Wu Junwan was pondering how to make Lu Chen agree to let her sign the document, Pei Hong's voice came from outside the carriage.

"Princess Junwan, do you feel it?"

Wu Junwan lifted the carriage curtain and asked with confusion, "What is it, Sir Pei?"

Seeing that Wu Junwan seemed to have felt nothing, Pei Hong frowned and then said, "Just now at the North Prince Mansion, I felt my true qi became extremely chaotic, and a great sense of oppression arose in my heart, so heavy that I could hardly breathe."

Hearing this, Wu Junwan was stunned.

Why didn't she have such a feeling just now?

Wu Junwan then said, "Strange, why did I not experience this feeling?"

Pei Hong pondered for a moment, then said, "Could it be Zhuge Zhongguang exerting pressure on me?"

When Pei Hong put it that way, Wu Junwan also realized that if Zhuge Zhongguang truly was already a Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse, then such a being could indeed lock onto someone within their perceptive range, without having seen that person, and exert pressure on them.

Thinking of this, Wu Junwan's eyebrows slightly knitted together, and then she said, "Does that mean Zhuge Zhongguang has really broken through to the Heavenly Human Realm?"

Pei Hong said, "It is very likely. If it were only a Grandmaster, even when Zhuge Zhongguang was still a Grandmaster, he could not have imposed such a sense of oppression on me. I fear only a Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse could exert such a formidable pressure."

After Pei Hong said this, Wu Junwan fell into silence. Now, with the North Country having a Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse, and with the North Prince being a man of immense martial talents and ambitions, it seemed inevitable that there would be a war between North Country and Great Wu in the future.

The North Country would become the greatest threat to Great Wu.

It seemed that upon her return, she would have to persuade her father, the Emperor, to send an envoy to the Great Sum.

With the North Country boasting a Heavenly Human Realm powerhouse, Great Wu could not compete with the North Country in single combat, especially as the North Country was in a period of rapid development.

Although currently the North Country's population was not large, if one day Lu Chen conquered the entirety of Great Sum and became the next Sum Emperor, controlling all of Great Sum, then Great Wu would hardly be a match for them.

Although they wanted to stir up trouble between the North Country and the Great Sum court, inciting war between them, Wu Junwan did not want to see the Great Sum court easily defeated by the North Country.

If the Great Sum court fell, Great Wu would face an even stronger enemy, a disaster for Great Wu.

The Great Sum court still had the capability to contend with the North Country; hadn't there been recent rumors that the royal family of Great Sum had means to counter a Heavenly Human Realm being? Since Great Sum and North Country had the strength to fight each other, it was best for Great Wu to side with the Great Sum court, aiding them against the North Country.

Of course, the best outcome would be if the Great Sum court and North Country both suffered, allowing the Great Wu dynasty to reap the benefits.

In the evening.

Lu Chen was reviewing documents in his study when a voice rang out from outside the door, "Prince, there's news from Rongrong."

On hearing this, Lu Chen was slightly taken aback, then set down his pen and said to Lin Wanyun at the door, "Madam Lin, please come in."

No sooner had Lu Chen finished speaking than Lin Wanyun entered the study. She was wearing a long green dress this evening, wrapping her voluptuous figure, radiating the charm of a mature woman.

After Lin Wanyun entered the study, she closed the door and then brought a letter to Lu Chen.

Seeing the letter in Lin Wanyun's hand, Lu Chen asked curiously, "This letter…"

Lin Wanyun answered, "This is a letter that Rongrong had someone bring down from the mountain."

Lu Chen was surprised in his heart. Chen Wanrong was imprisoned by her master, yet she still managed to have a disciple bring a letter down from the mountain?

Lin Wanyun extended her jade hand and passed Chen Wanrong's letter to Lu Chen, who immediately took it and read it attentively.

After reading the contents of the letter, Lu Chen was even more startled, and amidst his surprise, he felt a touch of happiness—he hadn't expected Chen Wanrong's master not to be truly against her being his woman.

However…

Seeing Lu Chen staring blankly at the letter, Lin Wanyun asked curiously, "What did Rongrong say in the letter?"

Lin Wanyun had come directly to Lu Chen after receiving the letter and didn't know its contents.

Lu Chen replied, "She told me that her master has no intention of stopping me from being with her. However, her master will personally come down the mountain to see what kind of person I am after some time. She warned me to try not to focus too much on women during the time her master visits North Country."

Upon hearing Lu Chen's reply, Lin Wanyun asked in astonishment, "Really? The Honorable has actually agreed to your relationship?"

To Lin Wanyun, their Honorable was quite a strict person, especially concerning Chen Wanrong. Ever since the incident with Chu Yue, their Honorable had frequently reminded Chen Wanrong not to entertain relationships with men, even declaring that all men are no good.
