Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1148 - 1148 108 Purpose

1148: Chapter 108 Purpose 1148: Chapter 108 Purpose Su Jingqian looked at Lu Chuan with intense nervousness.

He knew Lu Chuan had put a lot of effort into slaying the flood dragon, maneuvering through a long struggle with an enemy, before finally accomplishing the kill.

So when he came bearing gifts in exchange for some Jiaolong Meat, he felt somewhat shivery.

He looked at Lu Chuan, rubbing his hands, and said, “Is there much Jiaolong Meat left?”

Lu Chuan glanced back at the dining table, “The cooked portion isn’t much, but there’s plenty more in the storeroom.

If you want some, I can give you a large piece.”

Lu Chuan said nonchalantly.

“That’s wonderful, thank you so much!

Young Master Lu really is generous.

I’ve been fretting over this on my way here, worried you might not agree.”

“It’s not a big deal; there’s a lot of Jiaolong Meat, and I can’t finish it all, so take a piece back with you.”

Su Jingqian excitedly nodded, then followed the caretaker towards the storeroom.

Lu Chuan returned to his meal at the dining table.

After dinner, Lu Chuan went back to the small dark room and sat in front of Lu Ziyang.

Lu Chuan planned to search for the material mentioned by Lu Ziyang, knowing that, according to Lu Ziyang, this substance played an extremely important role.

It was one of the key materials for Lu Manor to defeat the Dongfang family.

If Lu Chuan could obtain the Black Veil Herb, it would indirectly mean thwarting the Lu family’s rise to power.

“Lu Ziyang, let me ask you, did you come to Cloud Sea City mainly to seek this material?”

Lu Ziyang nodded slightly, “Yes, that’s correct.

My main purpose was to find the Black Veil Herb.”

“Is that so?

And how do you plan on searching for it?

This herb shouldn’t be conspicuous.

You must have a way to locate it.”

Lu Ziyang nodded again, “Indeed, I do have a method to find the Black Veil Herb.”

“Do you intend to go after this Black Veil Herb yourself?”

Lu Chuan stood up, opened the large door of the cage, and walked in, “Exactly, I intend to find the Black Veil Herb.

Now, tell me how you plan to search for it.”

“Alright…

fine then, I’ll tell you,” he sighed helplessly and stood up.

“The thing is, I’ve received insider tips that the Black Veil Herb might exist here, but it’s uncertain.”

“So, just bear in mind, if you can’t find it, that’s entirely possible too.”

With that, he took out a white flower from his bosom.

“This little white flower contains pure Spiritual Energy and has a potent perception ability.

If there’s Fierce Spiritual Energy around, or polluted Spiritual Energy, its color will gradually turn grey.”

“So, take this little white flower and search around.

If the flower turns black, that means you’re not far from the Black Veil Herb.”

Lu Chuan took the flower from his hand.

“Is it that simple?”

Lu Ziyang nodded, “Yes, it’s that simple.

Just follow these instructions.”

Lu Chuan tucked away the flower, “Alright, I’ll find time to look for it.

There are many mountains around, and I need to specifically choose those dark and damp environments to search.

This is quite a big task.

I estimate it won’t be completed anytime soon.”

Lu Chuan scratched his head, “With mountains surrounding the area, I suspect I’ll be staying here for quite a while before I possibly find the Black Veil Herb.”

“No…

there’s no need to leave the city.

My informant told me, the Black Veil Herb, it’s in the city.”

“In the city?

That’s impossible.

How could such a precious material be found within the city?”

“And if it were in the city, wouldn’t you have already obtained it by now?”

Lu Ziyang heaved a helpless sigh, “Actually, Black Veil Herb tends to grow in dark, bloody, and damp environments.”

“That’s why the most likely place to find Black Veil Herb is in the dungeons.”

“Unfortunately, I’ve been in Cloud Sea City for so long yet hardly entered any dungeons, because I simply don’t have the credentials.

I did manage to sneak into the dungeons used by two families to detain criminals under cover of darkness, but regrettably, I found nothing.”

He looked up at Lu Chuan, his eyes excited, “But you’re different, you’re highly respected here in Cloud Sea City, recognized as a strong figure, and hold the highest status in the city.

You can go to any family’s dungeons without issue!”

“Checking each house one by one, you’re sure to find it!”

He said with great excitement.

Lu Chuan, upon hearing this, also nodded, feeling it was feasible.

“No problem, then I’ll go look into it tomorrow.

If I can find it, all the better.”

“Just keep looking, you’ll definitely find it,” said Lu Ziyang.

Lu Chuan turned and walked away, locking the cage behind him.

Upon returning to his room, Lu Chuan went to bed to rest.

…

The next morning, after getting up, Lu Chuan prepared to set off in search of the so-called Black Veil Herb.

The manor remained a serene and peaceful vista.

With no enemy left in the city, the people of the manor relaxed quite a bit and could go out and stroll about freely.

Lu Chuan arrived alone in front of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Speaking of the dungeons where the most people were imprisoned and killed, it naturally had to be the ones inside the City Lord’s Mansion.

These dungeons detained the city’s criminals, the worst ones, at that.

The ordinary criminals were just locked up in the dungeons above ground; they wouldn’t be found here.

Lu Chuan approached the main gate, and upon seeing Lu Chuan, the guards of the City Lord’s Mansion immediately opened the gate.

Then, Lu Chuan walked in.

The caretaker of the City Lord’s Mansion, who had been giving instructions to the servants in the distance, noticed Lu Chuan and promptly turned to look at him, hurrying over to Lu Chuan.

He jogged up to Lu Chuan’s side.

“Young Master Lu, what brings you here today?”

He said, his face smiling obsequiously as he bowed.

“I’m here to see your mansion’s negotiator.

Currently managing the City Lord’s Mansion—is it Huang Kai?”

“No…

it’s not him anymore.

The person now acting as the City Lord is Huang Tiankang’s cousin, Huang Ye.”

“What?

I have no idea who that is.”

“Does he have a lot of strength?”

The caretaker continued, “He’s the strongest in the entire mansion, second only to Huang Tiankang.

With him in charge, the City Lord’s Mansion can maintain stability.

Otherwise, without someone to suppress them, those elite soldiers and strong warriors would be out of control.”

“Where are Huang Kai and Xsu You then?

Where are they now?”

“They’re in the Council Hall discussing matters.

There’s endless trouble in the mansion, and Xsu You wants to leave the City Lord’s Mansion, saying he wants to return to the sect.”

Lu Chuan frowned, “Why has he suddenly thought of returning to the sect?”

“He followed the Honorable City Lord, and now that the City Lord is gone, he naturally has lost his purpose.

There’s no hope for him here anymore.”

Lu Chuan sighed helplessly, “Alright then, I’ll go to the Council Hall to see what’s going on.”
