Chapter 78 - Chapter 39: Coming to the Surface (Part 2)

Besides that, there was also the issue of incompatibility in terms of affinity.

Not only the Brilliant Calamity Sword, but also the Brilliant Flame Pagoda, and even the Brilliant Dragon Seal currently in Chu Ge's hands—none of them were particularly compatible with her.

In her hands, the Brilliant Calamity Sword was more of a symbolic existence rather than a true aid in combat.

Glancing at the Brilliant Calamity Sword, which was buzzing excitedly with crackling sounds, Luo Huangjun coldly put it away.

There was even a faint trace of disdain in her gaze.

"The more I look at it, the uglier it seems. Not only ugly, but noisy too."

She muttered inwardly before once again turning her anticipation toward what kind of sword Chu Ge might eventually gift her.

Naturally, Chu Ge had no idea that a single casual remark from him had already made his cold and aloof master brim with quiet expectation. He continued recording in his diary.

[I also made a rather significant discovery today—the Luo family actually has a Chosen Son of Fortune as well!]

[The deaths of Luo Feipeng and the other two revealed the existence of this Chosen Son within the Luo family. Although I still don't know his name, he must be deeply connected to those three!]

[It seems that the plot to seize the Brilliant Dragon Seal is also inseparable from this unnamed Chosen Son of Fortune!]

"Another Chosen Son of Fortune? And one from the Luo family?"

Dantai Jinglian's originally lazy expression became a little more serious.

She would never place Ye Chen on the same level as this Chosen Son from the Luo family. Ye Chen merely had good fortune; his greatest reliance at present was the remnant soul within his ring. To put it bluntly, Ye Chen was nothing more than a leek that Chu Ge was raising—if Chu Ge wished, he could deal with him at any time. Keeping him alive until now was merely to let the leek grow a bit more, so it could be harvested completely at its peak.

But this newly emerged Chosen Son of the Luo family was on an entirely different level from Ye Chen.

Born into the Luo family, he was destined to possess extraordinary power, resources, and all kinds of support! Even setting aside the halo of being a Chosen Son of Fortune, if Chu Ge's guess was correct and this person had indeed participated in the plot to seize the Brilliant Dragon Seal, then his status within the Luo family must be anything but ordinary!

On the other side, Luo Huangjun also fell into deep thought.

The Luo family actually had a Chosen Son of Fortune. Combined with the matter of the Brilliant Dragon Seal, a conjecture quickly formed in her mind.

"Could it be Luo Lingtian, the one in the clan who awakened a portion of the Taihuang bloodline?"

Memories of information she had heard from her family years ago flashed through her mind, and her certainty grew firmer.

"That's right. I should've thought of it earlier. Whether it was Luo Feipeng, Luo Qingyu, or Luo Tianhai, all of them are among the remaining direct descendants of the First Ancestor."

"Seizing the Brilliant Dragon Seal… could it be to further perfect Luo Lingtian's bloodline?"

She murmured softly, the light in her eyes growing brighter as her line of reasoning became increasingly clear.

"I must inform Father about this. And as for Luo Lingtian, I'll also need to find an opportunity to tell Xiao Chu (Little Chu)."

She spoke to herself, completely unaware that she had let slip such an intimate form of address for Chu Ge.

Compared to the careful deliberation of both Luo Huangjun and Dantai Jinglian, Su Lingyuan did not think so deeply. She was only curious for a moment before no longer paying attention to this new "Chosen Son of Fortune."
