1173: Chapter 1133: Overnight Stay at the Princess’ Mansion 1173: Chapter 1133: Overnight Stay at the Princess’ Mansion Early the next morning, before Lu Chuan had awakened, he heard a knocking at the door.

After getting out of bed, he opened the door only to see Commandery Princess Liang Xu standing there, holding an exquisite gift in his hand.

“I truly apologize, Young Master Lu, for my inability to receive you in a timely manner when you visited us last night.

It was an oversight by my caretaker, and as a result, you were temporarily accommodated here.”

He bowed slightly, speaking with great respect.

Lu Chuan waved his hand dismissively and said, “It’s fine.

Now that I’m settled in, let’s not talk of other matters.”

“By the way, have you heard any news about that fellow Lu Fu?” Lu Chuan asked.

Liang Xu shook his head helplessly, “Nothing at all.

I had people search the whole county throughout the night, and even plastered wanted posters everywhere, but sadly not a trace was found.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I see.

In that case, let it be.

After lunch, I’m going to destroy the Soul-Replenishing Ganoderma.

Send out a notice so everyone knows what I’m going to do.

If he doesn’t show up, then he has already failed.”

“By doing this…

can we really force him to come out?”

Liang Xu wore a skeptical expression.

“Of course.

His whole purpose in coming here was to collect that Lingzhi.

If he returns empty-handed, that’s mission failure!”

“He will definitely come to take the Lingzhi.

Even if he can bear not to, it doesn’t matter.

Either way his mission is a failure, and if he continues to hide, I can’t be bothered to look for him anymore.”

“If I go further, I’d be entering the territory where the Lu family and Dongfang family are clashing.

Why should I bother with a Talisman Master over such trifles?”

Liang Xu nodded slightly, “I understand.

You don’t want to waste too much time on him.”

“This Lu Fu really is, too timid, always secretly scheming.”

“Regrettably, I’m not leaving him any time now.

Despite the Soul-Replenishing Ganoderma being extremely precious and rare, it might not be of much use to you; it would be fine to just destroy it.”

Liang Xu continued, “The reason why he is so bold as to wait for the right moment, probably, is that he believes you wouldn’t dare to destroy the Lingzhi so easily, given its extreme rarity and value.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Even if it is that rare, I no longer care.

This thing is just as the name suggests, it has the effect of nourishing the Divine Soul.

If it’s combined in other ways, there would be different effects.”

“But it doesn’t matter anymore, I absolutely do not need it.”

Lu Chuan placed his hand on Liang Xu’s shoulder and said, “I need you to spread the message.

This will force him to come.”

“Alright, no problem, I’ll do just that!”

He said earnestly.

Then, he turned and left, adding before he went: “Feel free to move about in the mansion.

While you’re in the Princess’ Mansion, you are the most honored guests.”

Lu Chuan waved at him, “No problem, go on with your duties.”

After Liang Xu left, Lu Chuan saw Dongfang Cheng and the others coming over.

“The scenery within the Princess’ Mansion is rather nice.

How about we take a walk around?” Dongfang Cheng asked with a smile.

“No problem, I’m free now anyway.”

As the five of them were preparing to leave, they saw Li Ya slowly approaching.

She wore a pink-white dress and carried a tray towards them, revealing a sweet smile.

“Everyone, try the cakes I’ve made.

I’ve been practicing for a long time.”

She presented the tray to the group.

“You are all friends of Young Master Lu, aren’t you?

Please, have a taste.”

Dongfang Cheng and the other three each took a piece of the green treats.

After tasting them, they all nodded, indicating the flavor was indeed quite good.

“Young Master Lu, feel at home in our mansion, please relax,” she said with a smile.

“Madame Liang, I’ll be walking around next, that should be fine, right?”

“Of course, feel free to explore anywhere you like.”

Lu Chuan then turned to Dongfang Cheng and the others and said, “Let’s go for a walk…”

…

Posters issued by the Commandery Princess were being plastered all over Bei Wang County.

The messages were simple, sternly notifying Lu Fu himself that if he didn’t show up at the Princess’ Mansion to admit his mistakes and accept punishment today, they would destroy the Lingzhi!

The notices were everywhere, swiftly stirring discussions throughout Bei Wang County.

Every resident of Bei Wang County was quickly aware of the event.

If Lu Fu himself was among them, he could certainly see the notices.

When lunchtime came, Lu Chuan was eating in the dining hall.

Liang Xu and Li Ya joined him, and the group dined together.

“Young Master Lu, do you think that guy will come?

If he knows he’ll surely die upon coming, he’ll definitely ponder whether to give up or not,” Liang Xu asked.

After mulling it over for a moment, Lu Chuan shook his head slightly, “I don’t think he’s the type to give in so easily.

Let’s wait and see.

If he truly doesn’t show up, I’ll destroy the Lingzhi!”

“Don’t!

Why not just consume it for its Spiritual Energy.”

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh at the comment, “I don’t need the Lingzhi’s Spiritual Energy, I’m only interested in its effect, and if it doesn’t meet my expectations, I have no need to absorb its energy.”

“Let’s eat first.

After lunch, I’ll start.

I won’t give him much time.

If he’s not appearing, then he should prepare to die!”

Lu Chuan finished his lunch swiftly.

“Now, I’m going to deal with it.

If he doesn’t plan to come out, I won’t bother giving him a chance.

I’m off to destroy the Lingzhi now!”

Li Ya looked at the Lingzhi in Lu Chuan’s hand with some regret, “Such a wonderful healing item, what a shame.”

“Are you in such a hurry?

What if he hasn’t managed to get here yet?” Liang Xu asked.

“It’s impossible, if he wanted to come, he would have arrived by now.

He wouldn’t have taken so much time.”

Just then, a soldier hurried in.

“Madame Liang, we have a severe problem!!”

“One of our soldiers who ate your cakes… he’s been poisoned!”

Upon hearing this, Li Ya quickly stood up and looked towards the intruding soldier, “What do you mean?

How is that possible?”

“It’s true, absolutely true!

That man has perished from poisoning, and beside him was a half-eaten cake!”

“Possibly, there was poison in the cake, maybe the ingredients themselves were toxic!”

Li Ya hurriedly looked at Lu Chuan and the others, “That can’t be!

Do you feel anything?”

Lu Chuan patted his stomach and shook his head slightly, “I don’t feel anything at the moment.”

“Could it be that someone with hostile intentions contaminated the ingredients with poison while I was cooking?”

“Quick!

Take me to see the situation, who has been poisoned?”

Li Ya walked briskly, following the soldier out of the room.

Observing her departing figure, Liang Xu sighed helplessly, “Such carelessness, not even realizing she’s been poisoned.

I told her before, she shouldn’t bother making cakes, she’s just looking for trouble.”

“Young Master Lu, you’re alright, aren’t you?”
