Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1001 - 1001 961 Return to the Pinnacle

1001: Chapter 961: Return to the Pinnacle 1001: Chapter 961: Return to the Pinnacle Lu Chuan’s words filled Yu Qiming’s heart with an invigorating thrill; he clenched his fist excitedly and said to Lu Chuan with a firm tone, “Rest assured, if the day comes when my Yu family rises, we will absolutely not forget your kindness!”

At this moment, his wife walked over, curious about the conversation.

“Husband, what do you mean by that?

Are we, the Yu family, going to rise?

And we’re relying on him for it?” she asked.

Not only was she curious and confused, but all the members of the Yu family were also very puzzled.

They all looked at Lu Chuan curiously.

They could not understand why this young man standing before them had such an ability.

Yu Qiming looked at his wife and explained, “Wife, you do not know, this Young Master named Lu Chuan is incredibly powerful.”

“Do you remember the Nangong family from Tiannan City?” he asked.

She nodded repeatedly, “Of course, the Nangong family is large and powerful; how could I possibly not know of them?”

“Now, the Nangong family has been destroyed, completely annihilated without anything left.”

Hearing this, Mrs.

Yu’s eyes widened in shock, and she covered her mouth, exclaiming, “Really?

Is the Nangong family truly destroyed?

Impossible!

Such a huge aristocratic family, can they really be wiped out?

This seems too exaggerated, as if someone said they could obliterate the Su family.”

Yu Qiming smiled and shook his head, “You still know too little.

You haven’t been to Tiannan City, so naturally you wouldn’t know what happened there.”

“I have just returned from Tiannan City; I am well aware of the events that occurred there.”

“So, I can tell you with certainty that the person who destroyed the Nangong family is this Young Master Lu.

Many witnessed Lu Chuan personally kill Nangong Qianying.

This fact is absolutely true and cannot be faked in the slightest!”

He spoke with unwavering certainty, and his confident manner made the members of the Yu family start to believe him.

Mrs.

Yu examined Lu Chuan; her curiosity remained.

“Although I don’t know how he achieved it, since you say so, I will definitely believe it,” she said.

“Husband, do you really want to revive the Yu family with his help?

We are pretty content with our current situation; vying for power and position is too risky.”

Yu Qiming placed his hands on her shoulders, and softly said, “Wife, I can’t let our Yu family continue to suffer like this.

The opportunity is right before us, and I cannot miss it.”

“Whether our Yu family can reach the pinnacle of Cloud Sea City depends on Young Master Lu Chuan.”

Yu Qiming turned back to look at Lu Chuan, a smile on his face.

“Young Master Lu, rest assured, if our Yu family rises again, I will stand by your side unwaveringly, following your commands,” he pledged.

Lu Chuan stepped forward, patted his shoulder, and said, “Then work hard.

In the future, Cloud Sea City could very well belong to your Yu family.”

“I want to control everything here, and I cannot do it alone.

You will be my best lieutenant.”

“No problem, I will bear this in mind!” Yu Qiming replied earnestly.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly.

“I don’t necessarily want you to be my underling; once your family reaches the top, you’ll naturally still be in charge of the Yu family.

However, the respect due to me should not be lacking,” he remarked.

Yu Qiming knelt on one knee and said with his head bowed, “You have my assurance.”

His submissive gesture made the other members of the Yu family feel somewhat uncomfortable.

With nothing proven and no help provided yet, Yu Qiming’s low posture seemed too hasty.

Even their trust in Lu Chuan had not been established.

Some even suspected that Lu Chuan might be a swindler.

Lu Chuan pulled him back to his feet.

“Let’s go have dinner,” Lu Chuan suggested.

After speaking, Lu Chuan walked over to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and took a seat.

Then, Yu Qiming and Dongfang Cheng took their seats to the left and right of Lu Chuan.

“Everyone, please continue with dinner, and carry on with your duties.

Just follow Yu Qiming’s orders as usual,” Lu Chuan said nonchalantly.

The others continued to eat, feeling a bit odd, but didn’t ask further.

Yu Qiming looked at Lu Chuan and asked, “What’s our plan moving forward?”

Lu Chuan turned to him and asked, “Your Yu family used to run a mining business, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.

But over time, our mines were gradually taken over by other families,” Yu Qiming replied with resignation.

“The mines and veins we lost, I’ll help you take them back first.

Once you start making money, we can discuss the rest.”

“That works for me.

I’ll follow your lead,” Yu Qiming nodded earnestly.

Lu Chuan frowned thoughtfully for a moment, then said, “Tomorrow, let’s start by taking back some of the assets your family lost in the city.

“You can tell me which families took what belongs to you.”

“Oh…

Well, some time ago, the Zhao family from Cloud Sea City suddenly attacked our ironworks,” Yu Qiming recounted.

“That place was where we processed ores.

The ores we mined needed to undergo one stage of processing there before being used to make equipment or materials for construction.

“The Zhao family took it over, claiming that we had cheated their family during business dealings.

They came to claim compensations, threatening us with a repayment a hundredfold according to their family rules, and ultimately seized it by force.

“They acted in complete tyranny.”

He spoke through gritted teeth, clearly harboring anger.

“How strong exactly is this Zhao family?” asked Lu Chuan.

“The Zhao family is no good; their Family Head is at Grade 4 of the Martial Emperor Realm.”

“Then how were they able to take it from you?

You are at the Martial Saint Realm, aren’t you?

What grade of Martial Saint Realm?”

“Me… I’m at Grade 1 of the Martial Saint Realm.

Although I have broken through to the Martial Saint Realm, my overall strength is quite average,” Yu Qiming said, sighing.

“The elixir pills, Herbal Medicine, and Spiritual Energy I used for my breakthrough were very ordinary, not very pure.”

“So after my breakthrough, my body retained many impurities, which reduced my strength.”

“Also, because of our family’s poor situation, my weapons and armor are rather basic.”

“Of course, I wouldn’t be afraid to face the Zhao family’s head in a fight,” he suddenly clenched his fist confidently.

But then, his enthusiasm deflated.

“However…

the Zhao family has a backer, and the Yu family has nothing,” he lamented.

“What is the backing of the Zhao family?” inquired Lu Chuan.

“It’s the Su family, along with another family.

The Su family provides the most support.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and said, “No problem, we’ll deal with the Zhao family tomorrow.

The Zhao family’s background is no match for yours in the Yu family.”
