Chapter 67

"Finally, I'm back! So happy!" In the bright hotel room, Chen Yan Yu immediately pounced onto the soft bed, rolling around with a plush panda toy. Her delicate and slender figure was charmingly graceful, her long legs under the skirt were as white as jade, and her feet hidden in the shoes were even more captivating. She glanced to the side and looked at Luo Qing Chuan, who was putting the clothes bag on the cabinet. She hesitantly spoke, "Should I take a shower now?" Without lifting his head, Luo Qing Chuan said, "Miss Chen, I have something to tell you." "Huh?" Chen Yan Yu straightened her soft and delicate body, sitting obediently on the edge of the bed. With the plush toy in her lap, her long hair gently cascaded down. Her exquisite teenage face bloomed a smile as she spoke with a clear voice, "What is it?" After organizing the various small items and clothes he bought from the mall, Luo Qing Chuan pondered for a moment and looked at Chen Yan Yu. "You are a dragon." Chen Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, her cheeks quickly turning red. She buried her head and said, "You know... I am indeed, indeed a dragon... Look..." She lifted her small face, but the smile had faded. Chen Yan Yu's expression turned slightly pale, as if she was thinking of something horrifying. Even so, there were still a pair of cute and delicate white jade-like dragon horns floating above Chen Yan Yu's head. The elegantly crafted horns exuded a faint white light, setting off the girl's beautiful face as if she were a divine being. "Luo Qing Chuan..." Chen Yan Yu pursed her lips, avoiding eye contact. "You... don't like dragons, do you?" Chen Yan Yu suddenly remembered. Even though she was dumb, she realized that her dragon horns had already been exposed to Luo Qing Chuan that night at the bar. But Luo Qing Chuan had never mentioned it, and Chen Yan Yu had foolishly overlooked it. So... Why did he suddenly bring it up after the movie ended? Fear flashed in Chen Yan Yu's clear eyes. Luo Qing Chuan couldn't help but gaze at her for a few seconds, unable to remove the beautiful scene from his eyes. Chen Yan Yu, the destined female protagonist, was flawless and graceful. Luo Qing Chuan looked away, feeling slightly guilty, and said in a gentle tone, "You have a brother, right?" "Huh?" Chen Yan Yu was taken aback, biting her lip and incredulously said, "Yes, yes... My father told me... Before I was even born..." Her face turned red again, and she lowered her head, "Hundreds of years ago, before I was born, I had a brother who was born into this world. He ran away and never came back." Chen Yan Yu's heart suddenly throbbed. She cried, "Why are you suddenly talking about my brother, Luo Qing Chuan? Could it be... Could it be..." Luo Qing Chuan was speechless and said helplessly, "Stop, stop, stop! Not many dramas have this kind of storyline, right?" A script where lovers turn out to be long-lost siblings? I couldn't possibly be your long-lost brother! "No, no, right?" Chen Yan Yu was startled and bit her lip, not believing, "Really...?" Liu Qing Chuan cried and laughed at the same time. Chen Yan Yu's head was almost steaming. Then she opened her ten fingers, and her golden eyes looked at Luo Qing Chuan. She asked belatedly, "Then how did you know that I have a brother?" Luo Qing Chuan couldn't help but sigh. Chen Yan Yu suddenly stood up, put down the plush toy, and ran over to grab him. "What's wrong?" "Standing and talking is tiring, right?" Chen Yan Yu smiled brightly, "You sit first, I'll go get something for you to drink, and then I'll listen slowly." Luo Qing Chuan had no choice but to organize his thoughts and sat on the edge of the bed. Chen Yan Yu turned and took out two small boxes of yogurt from the hotel refrigerator and came to Luo Qing Chuan. The girl gathered her courage, sat down beside Luo Qing Chuan, and handed it to him. "Here you go," Chen Yan Yu's smile was bright, "You treated me last time." "Hmm." Luo Qing Chuan took it, but didn't drink it. Instead, he raised his hand with the palm facing up. "Do you know how Princess Yin Luo found you?" "I... I don't know..." "Look." A silver dragon scale, carrying a sacred aura, appeared and floated above Luo Qing Chuan's five fingers, with a sharp corner swaying... pointing directly at Chen Yan Yu. Chen Yan Yu, who had just lightly bitten the straw, appeared distracted. The girl with snow-white hair opened her mouth slightly, and after a few seconds, she said, "Is this... my brother's inverse scale?" "Yes," Luo Qing Chuan raised his five fingers and held the floating dragon scale in his hand, feeling its cold temperature. He handed it to Chen Yan Yu. Apart from this, he didn't know what else to say. Chen Yan Yu's older brother... what kind of experiences could make people speculate about him? Hundreds of years ago, just like a young and ignorant teenager, the dragon encountered Yin Luo's older sister. Because of this, he lost everything and could never return home. A dragon should have been able to roam freely in the mortal realm, and it was difficult for anyone to threaten such a divine creature. Unless... 'Target the heart.' Luo Qing Chuan wanted to sigh but held back the urge to express his emotions. Chen Yan Yu was the one who felt the most heartache. Her small hand trembled as she received the dragon scale, whispering, "Luo Qing Chuan, I don't even know my brother's name. My father never told me, and he almost never mentioned him to me." Tears fell one by one from Chen Yan Yu's eyes. "My father told me that the mortal realm is very dangerous, so he doesn't let me go out. He said my brother didn't listen and believed in humans, so... so he couldn't come back home..." Chen Yan Yu's older brother's storyline was unknown to Luo Qing Chuan. This belonged to the "past," not the "future," and it was also the "unknown past" or the 'background of the story.' How could the real world be explained clearly in a few sentences? The predictions Luo Qing Chuan received were all critical information related to the chosen ones. Unfortunately, this unfortunate brother of Chen Yan Yu's was not chosen. "Do you wait a moment," Luo Qing Chuan suddenly took out his phone and found Lu Chu Ning's account, sending a message. 【Luo Qing Chuan: Teacher Chu Ning, do you know the name of the dragon from hundreds of years ago?】 Soon after, 【Lu Chu Ning: Don't ask me, even the teacher doesn't know.】 Luo Qing Chuan sighed slightly. But Lu Chu Ning sent another message. 【Does the young lady from the Chen family want to know?】 【Yes.】 【Maybe you can ask Lu Wu.】 "Lu Wu?" Luo Qing Chuan was stunned. Chen Yan Yu wiped her tears and asked, "Who is Lu Wu?" "Someone who likely knows your brother's name." Luo Qing Chuan smiled and said, "I'll ask for you." "Okay, okay!" Chen Yan Yu's eyes lit up with hope. Luo Qing Chuan understood. Lu Wu, the teacher, had lived for over three hundred years and was considered to have a long lifespan in the cultivation world. He probably heard the dragon's name back then! Lu Wu was Lu Chu Ning's teacher in the Path-Seeking Class. Luo Qing Chuan quickly found Lu Wu's personal account in the group. He directly made a voice call, which might be a bit audacious, but Luo Qing Chuan saw Chen Yan Yu sitting beside him, shedding tears. Her cute and tiny nose twitched, making him feel extremely heartache. He ignored the plush toy yogurt and her gaze fixed on the dragon scale, lost in thought. This was the most heart-wrenching time. In a short while, Lu Wu's calm and gentle voice rang out with a hint of surprise, "Luo classmate?" "Lao Shi (Teacher) Lu Wu, I'm sorry for bothering you, but I have something to ask." Luo Qing Chuan got straight to the point, "Did a dragon enter the mortal realm hundreds of years ago? Do you know his name?" Lu Wu remained silent for a moment and smiled, "This matter... his name was Chen Tian Yuan." "I see, thank you, Lao Shi Lu Wu." "Do you have any other questions?" "Rest well, Lao Shi Lu Wu. I won't disturb you as a student." Luo Qing Chuan ended the call and said Chen Yan Yu's brother's name to her. Chen Yan Yu nodded and remembered her brother's name. "Luo Qing Chuan, you're really kind." "Just a small favor..." Luo Qing Chuan felt a little embarrassed. Chen Yan Yu stood up, pulled out the luggage, opened it, and squatted on the floor to store the silver dragon scale inside. Then she carefully put the suitcase into the cabinet. Luo Qing Chuan watched her quietly. Sensing the boy's gaze, Chen Yan Yu turned her face with reddened eyes. Her golden eyes had a misty watery glow, glowing like a halo from the sun, and her smile was pitiful. "Luo Qing Chuan, I'm so lucky to have met you... Compared to my brother, I'm so much luckier, to the point where I feel guilty." Luo Qing Chuan remained silent, avoiding eye contact with her, and whispered, "I'll go back first." The boy stood up, his footsteps getting faster, like he was escaping. Chen Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, flustered, "The clothes!" Luo Qing Chuan looked at her. "The clothes..." Chen Yan Yu stood up beautifully, pinching the hem of her skirt, and said softly, "You haven't taken your clothes."
