Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1131 - 1131 1091 Visiting the Su Family

1131: Chapter 1091: Visiting the Su Family 1131: Chapter 1091: Visiting the Su Family Lu Chuan set off and arrived at the Su Residence.

As soon as he reached the door, Lu Chuan was received with the courtesy accorded to an honored guest.

After arriving at the reception room, Su Jingqian personally came to greet him.

“Young Master Lu, you’ve arrived!”

“Please come in, please come in.

Is there something that brings you to the Su Residence?”

He spoke with a laugh, his eyes crinkling into a smile.

On the lakeside, Lu Chuan had once again demonstrated his strength, making Su Jingqian much more cautious around him.

“I don’t have any particular matters at hand.

I mainly came to discuss a simple issue.”

Su Jingqian smiled indifferently, “No problem at all.

Your matter is my matter.

I’ll certainly take care of it.

What’s the issue?

Just tell me!”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and then said: “I want your Su family to stop selling herbal medicine for a while.

How about for seven days?”

Upon hearing this, Su Jingqian’s eyes widened in shock and he was momentarily stunned.

“The herbal business is the core of our family’s operations.

If we stop, it will be hugely damaging to us!”

He said nervously.

“This is no small matter!”

Lu Chuan, seeing no alternative, said: “But you must do it because our enemy is an Alchemist.

His alchemy skills are very high.

You know that the flood dragon has already transformed into human form, but actually, it was that Alchemist who made the Transformation Pill that enabled the creature to successfully turn human!”

Upon hearing these words, Su Jingqian was taken aback.

He was unaware of the news that the flood dragon had transformed into human form.

“The flood dragon has taken human form?

Really?”

“Of course, that creature has already infiltrated the city.

He goes by the name Xielin, and the Alchemist is called Lu Ziyang, from the Lu family.

Here’s roughly what happened.”

Subsequently, Lu Chuan recounted the events, leaving Su Jingqian nodding in sudden understanding after listening.

“So that’s how it is.

But…

this doesn’t seem to concern me much, does it?

The flood dragon isn’t targeting me.

Our Su family has no enmity with it.

How about this; we manage the amount of medicine being sold.

No person can buy more than ten herbs at a time, what do you think?”

Lu Chuan looked at him seriously, “Do you really think it doesn’t concern you?

You were involved in the campaign against the flood dragon alongside Huang Tiankang.

It surely bears a grudge against you.”

“But…

Xielin wouldn’t come after me, would he?”

Lu Chuan continued to speak: “Huang Tiankang is already dead, do you think the next person to die could be you?

If you die, all the herbal medicine stored under your name will fall into their hands.”

Lu Chuan spoke to him with great solemnity.

Upon hearing this, Su Jingqian swallowed nervously.

“Huang Tiankang is dead?

Is this…

is this really true?

It can’t be, he was the City Lord.

If he’s gone, won’t the city fall into chaos again?”

“Was it Xielin who killed him?

What about that Lu Ziyang?”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Yes, it was the two of them.

So you see, you can’t escape, they will definitely target you.”

“They may already be planning how to kill you.

If they manage to take you down as well, then I will no longer have any allies in Cloud Sea City.”

Upon hearing this, Su Jingqian swallowed again, his lips quivering in nervousness.

“I take back what I said just now.

No matter what, I will have to shut down the herbal business.

Whether it’s for seventy days or for seven, I can endure it!”

He clenched his fists tightly, “But if we can’t kill that guy, won’t I keep losing money?”

Lu Chuan continued: “Of course, I’ve considered this.

But you know, I don’t have the power to command the entire city to stop selling herbs.”

“Besides, they can just steal them, can’t they?”

“So, I’ll pay particular attention to those few who slip through the net.

If Lu Ziyang needs to replenish his stock of herbs, there will be fewer targets to choose from.”

“This way, it will be much easier for me to capture him!”

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, Su Jingqian nodded in agreement, “No big problem there.

It’s a viable plan.

In that case, I’ll do as you say.

I’ll suspend the business and publicly mourn the passing of the City Lord.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and stood up, patting his shoulder, “Remember to attend the City Lord’s funeral tomorrow.

I wouldn’t want there to be an additional funeral, so you better be careful.”

“I understand.

I’ll strengthen the guards.

I will rush to have five hundred guards surround the residence immediately.

If that guy wants to kill me, he needs to break through the heavy enclosure first!”

Lu Chuan shrugged dismissively, “As you wish, I’ll take my leave now.”

Su Jingqian hastily stood up to see Lu Chuan off.

After Lu Chuan left the Su Residence, almost as soon as his front foot was out the door, servants immediately rushed out to carry out Su Jingqian’s orders.

Lu Chuan returned to the Yu Residence.

It was evening when Lu Chuan finished dinner and was getting ready to rest.

“Recently, the security at the Yu Residence also needs to be strengthened.

Those two bastards have really stirred up trouble here.

Watch out for their sneak attacks.”

“Yes, I will protect the entire Yu Residence!” Yu Qiming said with utmost seriousness.

Lu Chuan returned to his room to sleep.

The next morning, Lu Chuan got up and dressed.

Today, he put on a dark-colored tunic with a sash at the waist and took Peijian, his personal sword, before setting off.

When he arrived at the City Lord’s Mansion, he saw that many carriages had parked at the entrance, and many people of status had come to visit.

Lu Chuan entered the City Lord’s Mansion and saw Huang Kai, clothed in sackcloth and wearing mourning garb, slumped by the door, his eyes red from weeping.

Lu Chuan walked towards him.

“Huang Kai, has the funeral begun?”

Upon hearing the voice, Huang Kai stood up and approached Lu Chuan.

“Young Master Lu?

Not yet, my father said before he passed that he wanted to be buried right inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

He lived here for half his life and doesn’t plan on leaving.”

Lu Chuan raised his hand to Huang Kai’s shoulder, offering consolation, “You have to be strong.

The future of the City Lord’s Mansion relies on you now.”

“I know…

I will be.”

“Alright, now I want to ask when did your father tell you all this?

That he wanted to be buried here.”

“Yesterday, during the day, just after I had returned to the mansion, I told him about being kidnapped and then being rescued by you.

Afterwards, he started to speak from the heart and told me a lot.”

“It was then I sensed something was wrong.

He seemed in poor condition and was very disheartened, telling me if he died, he wished to be buried in the courtyard.”

“I asked him why he was suddenly talking about death.”

“He told me, an enemy lurks in the shadows; no life path was left for him.

He had only one fate—death…”

“And then, this morning, his body was discovered.”

After finishing, Huang Kai lowered his head again, his emotions sinking.

“Huang Kai, the ones who killed your father must be the two people who kidnapped you, one named Lu Ziyang and the other Xielin.

Xielin is the flood dragon that your father fought against for the sake of the people.

The murderer is the flood dragon, but rest assured, I will help your father avenge his death.”
