843: 803 843: 803 “Young Master Lu, I want to ask where you are staying temporarily?”
She approached Lu Chuan, asking curiously.
“I am currently staying in Forest City.”
“Then whenever you come to the Nangong family, you can come find me, I will help you.”
Lu Chuan chuckled, “I have killed quite a few of your subordinates.
Are you still going to help me?”
“Although they are subordinates, they are not from the Nangong family.
Even though they have followed me for a long time, I don’t really have feelings for them.
If need be, I will just find another group.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “No problem, if fate allows us to meet again, I will come to you.”
Then, Lu Chuan began to descend the slope.
After others watched Lu Chuan leave, they began to discuss among themselves.
For them, Lu Chuan’s appearance brought up many topics; his identity, his strength, and that immortal weapon precious sword were all points worth discussing.
“Miss Nangong, is the sword he carries really an Immortal Artifact?”
Yang Tianqi hurried to Nangong Lingya’s side and asked curiously.
Nangong Lingya helplessly shrugged her shoulders, “I have never seen him draw the sword, so I cannot tell.”
“If he does draw it, I will definitely be able to recognize it.”
She said confidently.
Yang Tianqi lowered his head, pondering for a moment, “Alright, but that is an Immortal Artifact precious sword, it’s extremely rare.”
Nangong Lingya looked at him, “You’re not thinking of taking his sword, are you?”
“Of course not, although I love collecting swords, he is too strong and fearsome; I wouldn’t dare provoke him.”
Nangong Lingya nodded slightly, “That’s good to hear.
Don’t foolishly cause trouble, otherwise, if he unleashes his anger on your Fiery Sword Sect, our Nangong family won’t be able to protect you.”
“Impossible, our Fiery Sword Sect is filled with strong warriors, he wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.”
“You can never be too sure.
The top warriors in this world all possess the strength to take on thousands.
You better take this seriously.”
Yang Tianqi took a deep breath and said earnestly, “I promise, I will absolutely not covet his possessions.”
“That’s good, continue with your activities.”
Nangong Lingya walked to a secluded area, took a couple of deep breaths to ease her nerves.
Meanwhile, Lu Chuan and Li Xunying, who were carefully descending the mountain, chatted as they walked.
“Young Master Lu, this mountain is quite steep, but it will become much more gentle not far ahead.”
“By the way, I noticed that group watching you, and I suspect they might be interested in your precious sword.”
Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I’ll be cautious, but there’s no need to pay them too much mind.”
There are things even more precious than the immortal weapon precious sword, and a group has already known about it; their eagerness is much fiercer than this group.”
“No wonder you seem unconcerned by them; it turns out others are already coveting the treasures you possess.”
“Big Brother, you really have offended quite a number of people.”
Lu Chuan gave a resigned smile, “No choice, if you want to get things done in the Kunlun Domain, you inevitably have to offend some people.
Having offended them, so be it, I’ll face whatever comes.”
The two soon arrived at the foot of the mountain, remounted their horses, and began to return to Forest City.
The trip to the mountain today was merely a brief visit with no significant gains.
The greatest gain was probably meeting the people from the Nangong family.
“Big Brother Lu, do you think that Nangong Lingya was lying?
Nangong Qianying couldn’t really still be alive, could he?”
Li Xunying asked curiously.
“I don’t know, but I feel like that girl Nangong Lingya might be lying.
However, whether it’s true or false, we still need to verify it.”
Li Xunying clenched his fists tightly, “That bastard must be alive, I have to kill him myself to avenge our brothers!”
He said angrily, the fury in his heart having nowhere to be vented.
“Don’t let your enemy control your emotions, leading to irrational decisions.
Take it one step at a time.
You’ll encounter that bastard if he’s alive.”
Li Xunying nodded slightly, accepting Lu Chuan’s reminder.
Soon, the two of them returned to the main road, racing towards the direction of Forest City.
By the time they arrived at Forest City, it was already evening.
The two rode into the city and headed towards Lu Manor.
At dusk, the streets of Forest City became gradually lively.
Forest City itself is a bustling city, with various resources developed, thus thriving in various industries.
In the city streets, there are still many people out playing even at night.
Lu Chuan walked on the street, his ears filled with the noisy sounds of people and some children’s playful laughter.
Upon reaching the entrance of Lu Manor, Lu Chuan dismounted and walked into the manor.
The guards at the gate helped him lead his horse inside.
Once Lu Chuan entered Lu Manor, he returned to the main room.
This room originally belonged to Lu Baixuan, but Lu Chuan had revamped it for him and Gu Xiaorou to live in.
After returning to the room, Lu Chuan saw Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang having a meal.
Lu Chuan walked over to the dining table and sat down.
“Has anything happened in the Manor today?”
Gu Xiaorou shook her head slightly, “Not much happened.
I spent most of my time today getting to know people in the Manor.”
“This environment is still too unfamiliar to us, if we are going to live here later, we need to get more familiar with it.”
Lu Chuan nodded, and Gu Xiaosang served a bowl of rice and set it in front of Lu Chuan.
Lu Chuan picked up the bowl and began eating dinner.
“By the way, there was something else today, people have already gone to deal with it, but I thought I should tell you.”
“At Skywolf Mountain north of the city, that same mining vein, we were attacked when we went to take charge of it.
The people we sent all died in the mine, the casualties were severe, and they are now supplementing manpower, I don’t know what the outcome will be.”
Lu Chuan’s face darkened, “What’s the use of supplementing manpower now?”
“It’s clearly targeted.
I don’t know whether they are trying to steal the mining vein or just sabotage it, but sending more men now is like sending them to their deaths.
Without finding the source and the perpetrators, it’s just seeking death.”
“Let’s eat first, wait for their news.”
Gu Xiaorou continued to eat her meal, head lowered.
She had little say in such matters since her own strength was modest and she couldn’t change the tide of a battle.
After nearly finishing dinner, Lu Chuan stood up, preparing to step out.
“I’m going to take a tour around the Manor, get familiar with this place.”
Just as Lu Chuan was about to step out the door, suddenly a figure rushed in hurriedly and approached him.
With a thud, the person knelt down, looking up at Lu Chuan in a panic.
Lu Manor Master, there’s big trouble.
That mining vein in the north, which we were going to take over, was attacked during the day.
We repelled the attackers thinking to fill in manpower, but that gang attacked again!”
