Chapter 110: Not Lovers' Lover

  Chen Luo wasn't someone who liked to join in the crowds, worshipping the beast might be quite a spectacle, but there were really too many people going to watch. Every domain and every city almost had a teleportation array leading to Xiao Cong Lin, when the time came it would definitely be packed with people, he simply couldn't be bothered to squeeze through the crowds, that bit of time was better spent sunbathing instead.

  This time going to the small forest was also discussed with Yu Tianlong, because the formation of Huoyun Jinghua is inside, and the previous trip was hasty, the formation method was not very complete, in case someone found out that would be terrible. So, he prepared to move the formation of Huoyun Jinghua to Xuanhuang World, completely solving the worries behind.

  As I was lining up to enter the transmission array, a soft and charming voice suddenly came from behind me.

  "Hey handsome guy, can I be friends with you?"

  Huh?

  Chen Luo turned around in confusion, and saw a charming beauty with crimson hair, captivating eyes, enchanting features, and a smile full of temptation.

  "It's you!"

  Chen Luo's face suddenly changed greatly, and he blurted out in surprise.

  The girl across the street, in order to tease Chen Luo, pretended to be flirtatious, expecting Chen Luo to become infatuated with her. However, not only did he not become infatuated, but he also looked very surprised, as if he had seen a ghost.

  What is mine?

  Tycoon Chen has never seen my true face before, is his eyesight so poisonous? Has he figured it out?

  "Rich Chen, you're not simple, you actually figured out I'm Rakusha?"

  "Are you Rakusha?" Chen Lu's shock was beyond words, as he still vividly remembered the time he broke into the Central Academy's Ice and Fire Spirit Realm and fought to the death. He didn't know why, but it caused a disturbance in the realm's rules, and then somehow he found himself trapped in a strange place with two women. Even more bizarre was that his soul suddenly crossed over into another unfamiliar world, where it possessed someone named "Zhe". Desperate to find a way back, he searched frantically but to no avail. Eventually, he accepted reality and began living in this new world. Zhe had a girlfriend, so Chen Lu played along with the role, pretending to be Zhe while simultaneously searching for a way to leave.

  He stayed in that strange world for four years, and finally didn't want to deceive his girlfriend, saying he wasn't a person from that world. What he didn't expect was that his girlfriend also wasn't a person from that world. Until his soul returned to its original form, he discovered that the one he had been talking about love with in that strange world was none other than the enchanting woman with crimson hair from Central Academy.

  Was it a dream or did the soul really cross over?

  Chen Luo still can't understand to this day, it's like a dream, yet so real. The bits and pieces of those four years are still vivid in his memory. What he didn't expect was to run into this woman here, and even more unbelievable is that she claims to be Lu Ying?

  Could it be that the woman with a face full of freckles in Xiao Jinguo was actually Binghuo Xiaoling, the woman who had been with him for four years like a dream?

  At this moment, Chen Luo finally understood why Luojia hated Tongtian Laozu so much that he beat his voodoo doll every day.

  "Hey, Big Spender Chen, how did you recognize me? Tell me, what's going on?"

  Luo Ying didn't know Chen Luo's identity, she was just curious about how he recognized her.

  "I have something to attend to, I'll leave first."

  Chen Luo recalled how Sakura would tease and bully him every day, making his scalp feel numb. In that unfamiliar world, Sakura had always said she was playing with his emotions, heartlessly toying with him, and Chen Luo hated her to the bone. If she were to find out his true identity, it would be... He couldn't bear to think about it, so he quickly turned around and ran, cutting in line and rushing into the transmission array.

  "Hey, hey, hey, Big Spender Chen, did you see me running? Am I that scary? You damn well better stop right there!"

  Jian Luo disappeared from the transmission array, and Luo Ying was both surprised and angry. She turned around, pointing at herself, and asked: "Xiang Wei, am I ugly? Am I scary? Why did that guy run away as soon as he saw me, like he had seen a ghost?"

  Xue Xiang also looked in the direction where Chen Luo disappeared, her small mouth opening and closing slightly, wanting to speak but stopping herself, shaking her head lightly, indicating that she didn't know what was going on either.

  "Damn it! Tyrant Chen, you bastard, wait for me, next time I see you, I'll make you look good!"

  Although Luo Ying didn't like men being infatuated with her gaze, she was indeed shocked when she coincidentally met a man who had been scared away by her.

  "This... cousin, why did you call him Tuhao Chen?" Situ Lu asked in puzzlement.

  "This guy gave a Yunling Jade Soul Pendant to someone a few years ago just to reject a woman's pursuit." Luoshan said angrily.

  "Cloud Spirit Jade Pendant? But isn't that the Cloud Spirit Jade Pendant refined by Master Xuan Gu?" Seeing Luo Xia's nod, Situ Lyu's expression was shocked, and after a long while, he muttered: "Damn! No wonder you called him a country bumpkin!"

  On the other side, Yu Hua flew over and stared at the transmission array, with endless anger and gloom floating in her eyes.

  After entering the small spiritual realm of the forest, Chen Luo rushed to the formation site where the fire cloud essence was refined. Along the way, he had a lot on his mind and couldn't help but recall every detail about that strange world. Even now, he still can't understand how his soul suddenly crossed over into another time-space and possessed a stranger's body. What's even more astonishing is that Lu Ying's soul also crossed over into that time-space, and what's even more bizarre is that the two souls possessed a pair of lovers' bodies, and they had a four-year-long romance.

  "Old Ancestor Tongtian! You stinky rascal, you heartless scoundrel, playing with my emotions for four years, I will curse you for the rest of your life!"

  Closing his eyes, Chen Luo could still vividly recall the angry roar Sakura let out after learning the truth.

  He really wanted to say that he hadn't played with her emotions, but at the time he was possessing the body of a person named 'Zhao', and in order not to be discovered by those around him as being from another time, he continued to play along, and naturally started dating his girlfriend, doing all the things he should do and also doing things he shouldn't do, of course all just for show. But what he never expected was that the woman he had a romantic relationship with was actually Luō Yīng.

  What should I do now?

  Can't I just say that I'm the ancestor of all things, we all travel through time and space together, freely falling in love, breaking up and making up is normal, how can you say that I'm playing with your emotions?

  If it could be explained, Chen Luo would have liked to explain, but the key was that his identity as Tong Tian Lao Zu was not easy for others to know.

  Shake head, no longer think about these things, anyway Luo Xing doesn't know his own identity, you love how then how.

  Upon arriving at the place where they refine the Fire Cloud Essence, Wei Tianlong had already been waiting for a long time. Over several months, they refined a considerable amount of Fire Cloud Essence. After collecting the essence, Chen Luo destroyed the array formation and then returned to a manor in Changxin City to re-arrange the refinement array formation. This manor was specially prepared by Wei Tianlong for refining Fire Cloud Essence, with trusted personnel selected as the people in charge. Re-arranging the refinement array formation took more than a day's time. To perfect this thing, it can't be done overnight; it must go through long-term experimentation to slowly improve. Therefore, Chen Luo suggested that Wei Tianlong find some trustworthy array masters. However, Wei Tianlong's response shocked him: "We have our own Array Tower, with over a hundred array masters inside."

  "We still have our own array tower? Old Wei, aren't we doing business? How did you start building an array tower again? And even raised over a hundred array masters?"

  "We are indeed doing business, but to make it big, we must have our own array tower and our own array masters. We spend money to support them, letting them research and study. This is the same principle as your fire cloud refining array method. For example, if you were our array master, researching and developing the fire cloud refining array method, it would need to be perfected, experimented with, and improved... Only then can we create a unique Fire Cloud Essence for Tianqi Pavilion."

  "We don't just have our own array towers, but also our own Glory Guild. In the future, we will also have our own Academy, and even our own Spirit Realm. Building a comprehensive industrial chain is the ultimate goal of Tianqi Pavilion."

  "Awesome." Chen Luo suddenly remembered when he crossed through time and space to that world, the business there seemed to operate in a similar way.

  At dinner time, Wei Tianlong once again proposed to let Chen Luo attend the highest meeting of the Shangfang Chamber and meet with the old men. He had already done so several times before, but each time was rejected by Chen Luo. This time was no exception. He had his own considerations. Firstly, his other identity was extremely dangerous. Once exposed, he could escape, but the Tianqi Chamber would definitely be implicated. Moreover, this time he went to the Central Academy not for cultivation, but to steal a hidden great secret. Whether it was exposure or theft failure, both were unfavorable to the Tianqi Chamber. Therefore, absolutely no one can know that he had any connection with the Tianqi Chamber.

  Wei Tianlong saw that he was pushing him away and could only helplessly sigh, saying: "Alright then, I'll say the same old thing again. The position of the master of the Tianqi Pavilion is still reserved for you. Wait until you think the timing is ripe before making an appearance. Alas, I don't even know how to explain it to those elders. They've been clamoring to see the master all along."

  The next morning, Chen Luo had just gotten out of bed when his maid Xiao Li said that Yu Tianlong had gone to the Small Spirit Realm early in the morning. He said that due to the demon beasts' worship, the rules of the spirit realm had changed and a secret treasure had appeared.

  The formation method relies on the existence of world rules. When the rules change, those hidden formations, no matter how perfect or flawless they are, will be destroyed and become chaotic. Most ancient formations were discovered in this way. Just as Chen Luo was hesitating about whether to go to the small forest to try his luck, he suddenly thought of something unpleasant.

  The master's tomb was placed in a small thicket, where he was buried at the time. Normally, others wouldn't have discovered it, but now that the rules have changed and the formation is chaotic, won't the master's tomb be exposed?

  At this thought, Chen's heart was more anxious than ever, and without hesitation, he rushed straight into the small forest.
