600: Chapter 560 Hua Family Manor_1 600: Chapter 560 Hua Family Manor_1 Hua Qianwu looked at Xu Erfeng and said with a cold voice, “Lu Chuan was invited by our Hua family as an honored guest, he is my friend, do you have a problem with that?”
Upon hearing this, Xu Erfeng’s demeanor immediately weakened.
It’s like the flood washing over the Dragon King Temple, we’re all from the same family.
Since that’s the case, then I won’t pursue the matter of him bullying me anymore…”
She gave an awkward smile and then turned to leave.
Seeing this, Lu Chuan quickly called out to her, “What did you just say?
Say that again, clearly.”
Xu Erfeng’s footsteps halted, and her expression immediately froze.
Hua Qianwu turned to Lu Chuan and asked, “What exactly happened?”
Lu Chuan hurriedly explained, “It’s nothing serious.
I was standing in line outside when this person rode a carriage and cut in front of me.
I reasoned with her, but she was unreasonable, so I took action.”
Upon hearing this, Hua Qianwu took a deep breath and said in a firm voice, “But just now, she told me the opposite.
She said that you cut in her line.”
Hearing this, Gu Xiaosang immediately became angry.
She clenched her small fists and shouted, “This shameless woman is really capable of distorting the truth.
Who’s cutting in your line?
Don’t you have any shame?”
Hua Qianwu turned her head to look at Xu Erfeng.
At this moment, the richly dressed lady was trembling all over, her eyes full of fear as she looked at Hua Qianwu.
She had never expected that Hua Qianwu would actually know this person, and even be good friends!
Otherwise, her attempt at using another to eliminate him would have been perfect!
“Xu Erfeng, you actually dared to treat my friend , are you trying to shoot for the sky!” Hua Qianwu rebuked with anger.
Xu Erfeng stood trembling in her spot, not daring to look Hua Qianwu in the eye.
I realize my mistake…”
Hua Qianwu crossed her arms and said coldly, “Just knowing your mistake isn’t enough, kneel down and apologize to my friend!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Erfeng suddenly looked up, her eyes wide.
She asked in disbelief.
Hua Qianwu nodded slightly and said, “That’s right, apologize to him, right now, immediately!”
“Otherwise, we’ll terminate our cooperation between our two families!”
When Xu Erfeng heard this, she instantly became submissive.
Although she was very reluctant, she still knelt down to Lu Chuan.
“I know I was wrong, please forgive me, I won’t dare to do it again!”
Her face filled with resentment, she looked at Hua Qianwu pleadingly and said.
Seeing this, Hua Qianwu then looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “What do you think?
If that’s not enough, how else do you plan to punish her?”
“I don’t want to waste too much time on this person.
Since she already knelt down, let’s end it here.”
Hua Qianwu turned her head to look at Xu Erfeng and said, “Get lost.
Don’t let me see you being arrogant and causing trouble everywhere again!”
Xu Erfeng quickly stood up and hastily fled the scene.
Although her heart was filled with dark resentment, she didn’t dare to show the slightest sign of it.
After she left, Hua Qianwu turned to Lu Chuan, “Thank you for coming to Flower City.
Next, let’s rest at our manor.”
Lu Chuan nodded slightly and then asked, “Now tell me, what exactly do you need me for?”
Hua Qianwu slightly bowed her head, hesitating whether to speak up.
Immediately after, Lu Chuan took out the box he had been carrying.
“You’ve come for this, haven’t you?”
A surge of Spiritual Energy fluctuation instantly emerged, causing Hua Qianwu to abruptly look up.
She saw the box in Lu Chuan’s hand and quickly said, “Yes, that’s it!”
“Inside this box, should be the Divine Tree branch, right?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan nodded slightly and said, “That’s correct, it’s in here.
But let me make it clear in advance, no matter what method you use, don’t even think about taking this from me.”
Hua Qianwu helplessly nodded and said, “I know…”
Gu Xiaosang scratched her head curiously and asked, “How did you know Lu Chuan had this with him?”
Lu Chuan replied, “Of course, it’s because of the Xu family.”
Hua Qianwu nodded in agreement and said, “Exactly, Lu Chuan is right.
It was the Xu family who passed this information to us, and even Lu Chuan’s appearance was delivered into our hands.”
“Because of this, our two families are now in a state of cooperation.
The Xu family has grown increasingly powerful in Flower City by basking in our light, and that woman has consequently become swollen with pride, becoming more and more arrogant and domineering.”
Lu Chuan heard this and slightly nodded, saying, “So it’s just a nouveau riche, no wonder she’s so ostentatious.”
Gu Xiaosang looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “How did your picture end up here?”
Gu Xiaorou also looked at Lu Chuan curiously.
“It was that Xu Lingyun from the secular world, who had a confrontation with me.
After a brief encounter, she drew my likeness from memory and then came here.”
Lu Chuan clenched his fists, “I definitely won’t let this Xu Lingyun off the hook!”
Hua Qianwu smiled and said, “Without her, we probably wouldn’t have had the chance to meet.
It’s not entirely a bad thing.”
Lu Chuan looked at Hua Qianwu and then asked, “Can I now know what you are planning to do with this branch?”
“Of course, once we get to our manor, you will understand.”
Soon, they arrived at the Hua Family Manor.
In front of the vermilion gates stood several members of the Hua family.
The man in the center, wearing a long robe with red spider lily motifs, was the Family Head of the Hua family, Hua Tao.
From afar, Hua Tao saw Lu Chuan’s figure and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
I have long admired your name.
We have been waiting here for some time!”
He walked up, extended both hands, and gripped Lu Chuan’s right hand, saying with an excited face.
Lu Chuan sized him up, noticing his somewhat scholarly appearance and amiable expression, not seeming to be a bad person.
“It’s really troublesome for all of you, standing at the gate waiting for us.”
Hua Tao hastily said, “No trouble at all, how could it be troublesome?
Following that, the group entered the Hua Family Manor together.
Beyond the gates was a modest front courtyard, with various buildings in the front and on both sides for living, working, or cultivating.
But actually, the entire Hua Family Manor occupied a vast area.
Besides these buildings, they also had a massive flower garden.
In the garden was a vast sea of flowers, with blooms of various colors competing in splendor.
Scanning the scene, the beautiful landscape was breathtaking and refreshing to behold.
Upon entering the front courtyard, Lu Chuan turned to Hua Tao and asked, “I heard from Hua Qianwu that you found me because of that Divine Tree branch.
I want to know, what do you plan to do with it?”
Hua Tao knew that they couldn’t resort to force and had to cooperate with Lu Chuan to gain the right to use the Divine Tree branch, so his attitude became very humble.
“This way, please,” he said, leading the way to the vast flower garden.
Standing there felt like being in an ocean of flowers.
Even though it was late at night, many people from the Hua family could still be seen busily tending to the flower fields.
“These flowers all have their unique uses.
Some can heal injuries, some can enhance strength, and others can fortify the body.”
“But the source of energy for these flowers comes from that big tree in the center.”
