666: Chapter 626: Visiting the Zhu Family_1 666: Chapter 626: Visiting the Zhu Family_1 Zhu Qingcheng’s words instantly bewildered Zhan Tianheng.
“Wait, did you just mean to say that the Spirit Tree, which has supported the prosperity of the Hua family and Flower City, is about to wither and die and then, by Lu Chuan’s power alone, the Spirit Tree was revived?”
Zhan Tianheng asked with a puzzled face, looking incredulously at the other party.
Zhu Qingcheng nodded slightly, “That’s right, it is indeed the case.
The people of the Hua family told me themselves, and Zhan Tianyu should also be aware.”
“So, you should understand now, just what immense abilities this young man named Lu Chuan possesses!”
Zhan Tianheng immediately took a deep breath and turned to look at Zhan Tianyu, asking in a grave tone, “Is this true?”
Zhan Tianyu nodded slightly, “Not a word is exaggerated, all of it is true.
Lu Chuan truly saved the Hua family’s Spirit Tree.
Without Lu Chuan’s intervention, the Hua family would slowly decline until their downfall.”
“Apart from cultivating their vast flower fields, the people of the Hua family have almost no other skills.”
“So, without the Spirit Tree, their decline is an indisputable fact.”
Zhan Tianheng looked at Zhan Tianyu in disbelief, confusion written all over his face; this matter was simply beyond his comprehension!
“What methods did he use exactly?
How could such a Spirit Tree be revived by just one person’s effort?
This is too unbelievable, no one would believe it if we told them!”
Zhan Tianyu replied helplessly, shaking his head, “You’d better believe it because I personally witnessed the entire process of this event.”
“Although I don’t know how Lu Chuan revived the Spirit Tree, he did indeed succeed.
In the Hua family within Flower City, he is the most honored guest, and no one dares to offend him.”
“The daughter of Flower City’s City Lord, Yang Menghuan, was cured of a strange illness by his own hands, even the ailment that the Flower Ridge Miracle Healer couldn’t solve, he managed to deal with effortlessly.”
“I’ve told you before, he’s no ordinary person.
You wouldn’t believe me and kept saying there are plenty of people who aren’t ordinary.”
Zhan Tianyu spread his hands in exasperation.
Zhu Qingcheng watched the conversation between the two with growing amusement.
“What’s the matter, Tianheng?
Do you think this person doesn’t have such capabilities?”
Zhan Tianheng remained stationary, unable to snap back to reality.
“Since both of you have said so much, I’ll choose to believe it for once.”
Zhu Qingcheng instantly got excited, “I came here precisely to meet Lu Chuan.
You should have no objections to letting me see him, after all, he isn’t someone from the Zhan family.”
Zhan Tianheng furrowed his brows and said helplessly, “He’s in the guest room.
If you wish to see him, then go ahead.”
“Good, then I’ll be on my way!”
Zhu Qingcheng walked off with a happy stride, heading out of the Council Hall.
Zhan Tianyu quickly approached Zhan Tianheng, “Big brother, they are here to poach him!”
There’s no need for that, right?”
“How can there be no need?
This Lu Chuan has come to Dubhe City to clean up some forces!”
“If he really manages to clear out these forces, then the entire Dubhe City is going to experience a huge upheaval, and all the families could possibly find opportunities in this turmoil!”
Zhan Tianheng still appeared clueless, “Who is he planning to deal with?
A young man with quite a temper, indeed.”
“Hehe, the person he wants to deal with—if I told you, you wouldn’t dare believe it.”
I’m already troubled as it is.”
Having said that, Zhan Tianheng walked out of the Council Hall without any further discussion with Zhan Tianyu.
Zhan Tianyu stood in his place, letting out a weary sigh.
In the guestroom, Lu Chuan and his companions had finished their breakfast and were preparing to stretch their limbs a bit.
As soon as they reached the door, they saw Zhu Qingcheng and his son arriving outside.
Zhu Zhengjiang hurriedly pointed at Lu Chuan and said, “Father, this man here is Lu Chuan!”
Zhu Qingcheng quickly revealed a brilliant smile and said, “Young Master Lu truly has a noble bearing, the very image of a gentleman.
One can tell at a glance that you are a man destined for great things!”
Excitedly speaking, he hastened toward Lu Chuan.
“He’s my father, Zhu Qingcheng, and the chief decision-maker of the Zhu family, the Family Head.”
Zhu Zhengjiang hurriedly explained.
Lu Chuan nodded slightly.
Gu Xiaosang looked at the two men with a suspicious expression, “What do you want?”
“Nothing much, just wanted to invite Young Master Lu to our residence for a visit, to have a chat.”
Lu Chuan shook his head slightly, “I’m not familiar with you folks.”
“Actually, we are quite familiar.
Our Zhu family is an ally of the Hua family, and you are a benefactor of the Hua family.
How can we say we are not familiar?”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan smiled faintly, “I see, it seems you are aware that I saved the Hua family?”
“Exactly, such a heroic deed is indeed not something an ordinary person could accomplish.”
Lu Chuan, hands on his hips, asked, “Just get to the point, what do you really want from me?”
“First, I certainly wish to acquaint myself with a capable person, who might be able to assist our Zhu family in the future.”
“Secondly, I’ve heard that you can resurrect spirit plants, and I happen to have a precious spirit herb that I hope you could miraculously revive.”
After pondering for a moment, it seemed there was no need to oblige the request, but perhaps, the Zhu family members were just attempting to test his abilities.
Lu Chuan thought that since he was in Dubhe City, he shouldn’t make too many enemies.
If he could get on good terms with the Zhu family, it might not be a bad idea.
However, these Zhu family members were all shrewd businessmen, likely to hesitate to offer assistance if they truly faced a crisis.
“I’ll pay a visit when I have time.”
“That… is also fine, we welcome your visit anytime.”
Lu Chuan continued to inquire, “Do you know about the Lu family?”
Zhu Qingcheng hurriedly looked up at Lu Chuan, asking, “Are you from the Lu family?
No wonder your strength is so formidable!”
“No, I’m just asking.
I’m not from the Lu family; I’ve long since been unrelated to them.”
“Oh, the Lu family is located to the south of the city.
They don’t manage any business; they are just trying to maintain the Lu family’s influence in the Kunlun Domain.
Hence, if any power emerges within the city that doesn’t comply with the Lu family, they will face the Lu family’s aggression.”
Lu Chuan furrowed his brows slightly, “Are these people that domineering?”
“Absolutely domineering.
There was a time when the Lu family offered a reward in Dubhe City for a few enemies.
One family secretly harbored one of them, and within three days, the entire family was completely destroyed.”
“Since then, no one in Dubhe City dares to defy the will of the Lu family.
However, as long as you cooperate with them, they don’t make excessive demands.”
“So, most of the time, we treat the Lu family as though they are invisible, generally ignoring them unless someone provokes them.”
Lu Chuan nodded faintly, “So, the Lu family here in Dubhe City is like an enforcer for their family headquarters, as well as a spy.”
“This Lu family is indeed domineering enough, they probably think they are the emperor, reaching their hands out so far.”
Lu Chuan looked at Zhu Qingcheng, “From now on, you don’t have to worry about pleasing these people anymore.”
