Chapter 2282: Chapter 1972: Does Lu Chen Really Possess a Person Recognition Skill?

Upon hearing Fan Yaodong’s question, Prince Zhen Nan replied faintly, "I was indeed quite worried before, but after thinking it over, the sealing of those five Earth Realm Stranges is closely related to our Lu family ancestors."

"Regardless of whether Lu Chen’s Person Recognition Skill is exposed or not, those Stranges will inevitably retaliate against the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, and Lu Chen is my only child, so the Stranges will certainly try every means to target him."

At this moment, the Director of the Evil Suppression Bureau, Xiong Qingcang, said, "However, if the Stranges learn that Master Lu can use the Person Recognition Skill to identify traitors among humans, they will surely become more cautious, making it even harder for us to find those five Earth Realm Stranges."

Prince Zhen Nan said, "No, in order to eliminate Lu Chen as quickly as possible, they will act more frequently, and at that time, they will inevitably reveal their traces."

Upon hearing this, the senior officials of the Deceit Suppression Bureau thought for a moment and found some sense in it. If they could use Lu Chen as bait, the Stranges’ actions would certainly become more frequent, allowing them to find clues to the hiding place of those five Earth Realm Stranges.

However, on the other hand, Prince Zhen Nan seems not to fear at all that his only heir is in danger.

If Lu Chen had not exposed his ability in the Person Recognition Skill, those Stranges would not be in too much of a hurry to target the Zhen Nan Prince Manor.

But now that Lu Chen has exposed his ability in the Person Recognition Skill, the Stranges will surely try every means to eliminate him in order to conceal their tracks.

In the days ahead, Lu Chen doesn’t know how many assassination attempts he will face.

...

As Lu Chen had expected, although some people in the Deceit Suppression Bureau had not secretly joined other factions, they still became spies and informants for other powers.

The information about his Person Recognition Skill was known by certain forces in the Capital City within two hours.

Yun’an Princess Mansion.

Ji Yunmeng was dressed in a white long gown and sat gracefully on the soft couch. In front of her floated a purple Deceit Pearl, whose spiritual evil continually surged toward her body.

At this time, a multi-colored Black Evil was released from her body, enveloping the entire room. The maid at the door suddenly felt a sense of panic and fear.

At this moment, Xiao Qi’s voice sounded at the door.

"Princess, there’s intelligence from the Deceit Suppression Bureau."

Upon hearing Xiao Qi’s voice, Ji Yunmeng immediately restrained her aura, and the Black Evil in the room disappeared without a trace.

The next moment, Ji Yunmeng’s cold voice sounded from the room, "Come in."

Xiao Qi pushed the door and entered.

Ji Yunmeng looked at Xiao Qi and asked, "What happened in the Deceit Suppression Bureau?"

Xiao Qi replied, "Today, Prince Zhen Nan went to the Deceit Suppression Bureau and cleared out the traitors hidden within it."

Ji Yunmeng also had informants within the Deceit Suppression Bureau, but her informants were mainly those Deceit Suppressing Guards. Since those guards hadn’t joined the Princess Mansion, Lu Chen couldn’t identify them as having other identities, so her informants weren’t affected at all.

Hearing Xiao Qi’s words, Ji Yunmeng curiously asked, "How did Prince Zhen Nan find those traitors?"

Xiao Qi replied, "According to reports from spies, Master Lu seems to have a Person Recognition Skill. He glanced at the Deceit Suppressing Guards and identified the traitors among them."

This...

Upon hearing Xiao Qi’s response, Ji Yunmeng was slightly stunned. She suddenly recalled the incident of clearing traitors from the Zhen Nan Prince Manor. The message at that time was that Lu Chen had merely glanced at everyone there and identified the infiltrators and spies hidden within the prince manor.

At that time, she had thought Prince Zhen Nan had already identified the traitors, handed a list to Lu Chen, and let him pick them out, as a strategy to boost Lu Chen’s reputation in the Zhen Nan Prince Manor.

But now it seems that’s not the case. Lu Chen indeed possesses a certain type of Person Recognition Skill?

If Lu Chen can identify the traitors in the Deceit Suppression Bureau, could he also identify the Stranges among humans?

If that’s the case, finding those five Earth Realm Stranges would be much easier.

However, this would put Lu Chen in even greater danger as the Stranges would spare no effort to eliminate him.

At this point, Ji Yunmeng murmured to herself, "Person Recognition Skill... This seems like a Taoist technique..."

At this moment, Ji Yunmeng’s heart filled with a trace of worry. If Lu Chen indeed possesses the Person Recognition Skill, controlling the Zhen Nan Prince Manor will be much harder for her once she marries into it.

After pondering for a moment, Ji Yunmeng rose directly from her bed with the intention of visiting the Deceit Suppression Bureau to assess the situation. Now that the traitors have been identified, it shouldn’t be long before they discover how those Earth Realm Stranges escaped from the bureau.

...

Imperial Palace, Empress’s bedroom.

Pei Shuhua lay languidly on the soft couch, her spies continuously keeping an eye on the Zhen Nan Prince Manor, and every action from the manor was under her control. Approximately every hour, spies would return with reports. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Thus, she was aware of the events of Prince Zhen Nan visiting the Deceit Suppression Bureau today and was very curious about how Prince Zhen Nan planned to reorganize the bureau.

At this time, a eunuch hurriedly entered the hall and knelt on the ground.

"Empress, the spy has reported."

Pei Shuhua said indifferently, "Speak."

"Prince Zhen Nan entered the Deceit Suppression Bureau and his first action was clearing out the traitors within it."

Upon hearing the eunuch’s words, Pei Shuhua made an "oh?" sound, "Clearing traitors? I’m very curious how he managed to identify those traitors?"

The eunuch continued to report, "According to our informants, Lu Chen seems to possess a special form of magic that can discern who has betrayed the Deceit Suppression Bureau just by looking at them."

Upon hearing the eunuch’s words, Pei Shuhua frowned slightly. Just by looking at someone, being able to identify who has betrayed the Deceit Suppression Bureau sounded somewhat like Qi Observation Skill.

This seems to be a technique from the Taoist Sect, but differs from traditional Taoist methods.

Could it be...

Pei Shuhua’s heart had a speculation that this would be one of the abnormal skills mastered by Prince Zhen Nan.

The First Generation Prince Zhen Nan likely used this Person Recognition Skill to identify those Earth Realm Stranges.

Now this Person Recognition Skill has been passed down to Lu Chen, allowing him to identify those traitors.

If she could learn this abnormal skill, in the future she would know who is truly loyal to her and who only pretends to be.

Thus, her control over the court would be more solidified.

She believed Emperor Zhou would be very interested in this abnormal skill too.

However, even if she desired the skill greatly, she could not ask for it from the Zhen Nan Prince Manor immediately.

She would wait until the manor sealed the Earth Realm Stranges before attempting to gain this skill from Lu Chen.

With this thought, she said indifferently to the eunuch, "Continue to have our people keep an eye on Prince Zhen Nan. If he does anything else, report back immediately."

The eunuch respectfully said "Yes," then got up and left the hall.
