Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1028 - 1028 988 Blocked Outside the Door

1028: Chapter 988: Blocked Outside the Door 1028: Chapter 988: Blocked Outside the Door Yu Qiming had been restless ever since returning to Yu Residence, pacing back and forth in his room, unable to sit still in his chair.

He looked towards Lu Chuan and asked, “This is truly a mighty enemy before us, and the days ahead will be difficult.”

He sighed reluctantly, seemingly a bit anxious.

Lu Chuan walked up to him, patted his shoulder, and said, “We will meet force with force and cover water with earth.

Now that the Ming family and the City Lord are united, no matter what they plan to do, I will push it back.”

“Yu Qiming, are you afraid of them?”

Yu Qiming stopped pacing, looked earnestly at Lu Chuan, and took a deep breath, “Of course, I’m not afraid of them, but their alliance is strong.

I just worry that it might be quite stressful to deal with.”

“You know, neither the Ming family nor the City Lord are simple characters.”

“Let’s not talk about the City Lord for now.

The Ming family, when they make a move, are ruthless and harsh.

If they decide to target us, the Yu family, it’s bound to result in a bloodbath.”

Yu Qiming’s brows suddenly furrowed tightly, “I’m well aware of the Ming family’s style, very clear indeed.”

“Their actions are brutal and straightforward; as long as they have a clear advantage, they do not care about morals or ethics.

They directly employ whatever means necessary to deal with their enemies.”

“I guess they are about to make their move, and they won’t be playing games; they will definitely send troops directly and won’t beat around the bush.”

Hearing Yu Qiming’s words, Lu Chuan also became serious, “Is that so?

That actually suits me fine.

Let them come, and let me see just how strong they really are.”

“Alright, since they are opting for an offensive, we’ll play defense for a while and observe their actions.”

After speaking, Yu Qiming nodded slightly and then quickly exited the room, “I need to inform my men to watch out for the Ming family’s movements!”

In the room, Dongfang Cheng sat in the chair, looked up at Lu Chuan, and smiled, asking, “Big trouble again?

Seems no matter where we go, problems follow.”

“That’s normal.

Nobody will willingly cede their throne of power for me to take.

Of course, I can only fight for it.”

Lu Chuan spread his hands helplessly.

“That’s true too.

Perhaps, I should request help from my family.

With support, battling the Ming family would be much easier, wouldn’t it?”

Dongfang Cheng quickly stood up, looking at Lu Chuan expectantly.

“Never mind that.

Although that would make the fight end quicker, honestly, I’d rather handle the Ming family myself.”

“Besides, getting you all involved with the Dongfang family now would only be a burden for them.”

“How could it be a burden?

But well, since you insist on handling it personally, I’ll still support you.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, then looked outside and suggested, “Let’s step out for a bit.

I’ll go find a skilled artisan to see if we can do something with this Tianxuan Crystal.”

“Such a precious crystal stone, it should definitely produce great effects.”

“Let’s go then, and search outside.

There must be many craftsmen in Cloud Sea City capable of handling it.”

Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng left Yu Residence together and arrived at the bustling streets of the city center, searching for something.

There were many shops around that dazzled the eye, and there were not a few pedestrians passing by.

The street noise was clamorous.

Lu Chuan walked among the crowd, scanning the surrounding shops.

“There are quite a few equipment shops, but they all look pretty average.”

Lu Chuan walked into a nearby shop that displayed a vast array of weapons and equipment.

Upon entering, he also felt an intense heat—clearly, the master inside was still busy.

Upon seeing him, the shopkeeper immediately came forward with a big smile.

“Young master, are you here to buy equipment?

Feel free to look around and let me know if you see something you like, and I’ll show it to you.”

After a quick look, Lu Chuan asked, “Do you have craftsmen here who can enhance equipment?”

“Of course, we do have such services.

However, what equipment do you need enhancing, and what material do you plan to use?”

Lu Chuan then took out the Tianxuan Crystal, naturally not revealing the Soul Terminating Sword first.

After all, Immortal Artifacts attract too much attention.

“This…

This is Tianxuan Crystal!”

He immediately came closer, looking earnestly at the crystal stone in Lu Chuan’s hand.

“You know about this?”

“Of course, I know.

Who in this business wouldn’t?”

“However… this Tianxuan Crystal is an exceptionally rare spirit-level enhancement material, and the effects of strengthening are quite powerful.”

“It’s great for enhancing spirit-level weapons or equipment, and even for immortal-level weapons, it still has impressive effects.”

“Where did you get such a precious item?”

He looked at Lu Chuan excitedly; obviously, it had been a long while since he had seen such a fine item.

“That you don’t need to know.

I want to know if there’s a master in your shop who can use this material to enhance equipment.”

“That… we actually don’t have anyone capable of that here.

This is just a small shop, and the skills of our craftsmen are quite standard.”

“If it were common Xuan-level or mortal-level materials, then our craftsmen would certainly be able to handle it.

But for Xuan-level materials, it’s somewhat difficult.”

He scratched his head helplessly, looking quite embarrassed.

“Alright then, I’ll look elsewhere.”

“Young master, you could check out Wanxiang House.”

“Wanxiang House?”

“Yes, Wanxiang House.

There you’ll find experts in all kinds of crafts—weapon-making, alchemy, medicine preparation, and even talisman crafting!”

“So, you should go there and see.

There are many talented people there, and perhaps someone can handle this for you.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Thanks for the help.

Here’s a tip for you,” he said as he tossed a couple of silver ingots and walked out.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly picked up the silver ingots, shouting excitedly, “Oh, young master is so generous!

Please visit again!”

After leaving the shop, Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng returned to the street and looked around, “Where is Wanxiang House?”

“I don’t know.”

Dongfang Cheng helplessly spread his hands, looking clueless as he scanned around.

With no other option, Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng had to start asking passersby for directions.

After asking around, they finally arrived at the grand entrance of Wanxiang House.

Standing before the entrance, Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng adjusted their clothes before stepping forward to enter.

Just as they were about to enter, they were stopped by the guard.

“Who are you two?”

“My name is Lu Chuan, and this is Dongfang Cheng.

We’ve come here seeking assistance.”

“Lu Chuan is it?

You can’t enter!”

The guard pointed at Lu Chuan, decisively stating.

Lu Chuan stood there puzzled, looking at him.

“Why can’t I enter?”
