Guan and thanked her, “Thank you, madam, I’ll be staying here for a few days, and I’m sorry for any trouble caused.”

“It’s no trouble at all, you coming to our Guan Family Mansion is great news for us,” said Guan Tianjun with a chuckle.

Lu Chuan picked up his chopsticks to start eating, and then the girl beside him picked up the conversation.

“Something big happened outside the city today, have you all heard?”

“What happened?”

The girl continued, “The mining team of the Li Family was attacked on their way back to the city with the minerals!”

“Attacked by Demon Beasts?

Did it happen on the official road?”

“Of course, the scene was horrifying, the escorts were gnawed to a bloody mess, and the minerals on the carts also vanished without a trace!”

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaosang curiously furrowed her brows, “Would Demon Beasts attack a transport team and take away the minerals too?”

Everyone pondered for a moment.

Then, the girl kept on, “It’s certainly possible.

Our mining activities have destroyed the nests where these Demon Beasts cultivate, so that’s why we’ve been continuously under attack.

If they encountered our mining carts, it’s very likely they’d take the minerals after attacking!”

“The area outside the city is filled with countless Spirit Veins, each brimming with Spiritual Energy, attracting many Demon Beasts here.

Relying on the Spirit Veins for their caves, they survive and cultivate at an impressive speed, soon becoming Demon Beasts, powerful and with spirit wisdom, becoming enemies of humans.”

The girl went on, “So this attack, in reality, isn’t that rare.”

Guan Tianjun said with resignation, “Xiaotong, is it really worth mentioning such a common occurrence right now?”

“It would be rare if there wasn’t an attack on a transport team; that’s when you should talk more.”

Guan Xiaotong immediately became serious, “Dad, I’m not finished, why do you keep interrupting?”

“Furthermore, on the same day, the Li Family suffered three more attacks!”

“One at the minefield, one at an outpost outside the city, and another on a transport team!”

“The Li Family really hit a streak of bad luck today, must’ve gone out without checking the almanac.”

Guan Tianjun immediately furrowed his brows tightly, looking at Guan Xiaotong with a very displeased expression.

“Impossible…

the Li Family suffered four attacks in one day, that’s a bit too targeted, isn’t it?”

“Could it be that the Li Family has offended some extremely vicious Demon Beast?

Maybe because of this, they were continuously targeted.”

Guan Xiaotong shook her head slightly, revealing a mysterious smile.

“No…

it’s absolutely not that, it actually has to do with that incident.”

“Don’t be so secretive, just say what it is, who did you pick up this habit from?” Guan Tianjun said impatiently.

“Dad, give me some face!”

She looked towards Lu Chuan and the others and said, “A few days ago, the Li Family offended the Lu family, and that might be the reason for this!”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly upon hearing this, “Is that so?

That’s possible, but exactly how did they offend?”

“The eldest young master of the Li Family, while strolling outside, came across the caretaker of Lu Manor and walked away without greeting him.

The caretaker, feeling slighted, went straight back to report to Lu Manor!”

“Afterward, the Lu family sent someone to demand an apology from the Li Family, kneeling down.

However, the Li Family had some backbone and politely declined, only apologizing verbally.”

“Then…

maybe it’s because of this…”

Lu Chuan, propping his chin in thought, “Just for that trivial matter?

The Lu family seems quite petty, but it’s not impossible.

When their strength is absolutely above other families, they can indeed do as they wish, even over a small grievance.”

Lu Chuan looked at Guan Tianjun, “Do you think it’s possible?”

“Of course, it’s possible.

But it doesn’t concern us much, we of the Guan Family mind our own business and haven’t offended the Lu family, so it doesn’t concern us much; even if the Li Family were to be wiped out, it wouldn’t matter.”

“The Li Family is such a large family; they wouldn’t be easily wiped out.

You’re thinking too much,” said Mrs.

Guan.

Everyone continued their meal, quickly finishing dinner.

Lu Chuan left the dining hall and returned to his guest room to prepare for bed.

The next morning, after getting up, Lu Chuan came to an unfamiliar courtyard.

The courtyard was unfamiliar but also somewhat familiar, as the design of the courtyards is much the same among the aristocratic families here.

Sitting under a tree on a chair, Lu Chuan ate his breakfast.

Jyang Ran, Dongfang Cheng, and a few others also got up and came over to sit and eat breakfast.

“It’s time for action today, how shall we deal with Lu family’s people?”

Dongfang Cheng looked at Lu Chuan, a hint of eagerness in his eyes.

“No rush, let’s learn more about the enemy first.

Knowing both the enemy and ourselves, we can win every battle.

Starting a fight with too little understanding of the enemy can lead to trouble.”

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “No problem, then we’ll investigate further.”

At that moment, a Servant from the Guan Family Mansion walked in.

“Did you all enjoy your breakfast?”

Lu Chuan turned to look at him, “It’s not bad, do you need us for something?”

“No big issue, just a notice, the Li Family from Hei Jin City has been exterminated.”

Lu Chuan set down his chopsticks and quickly stood up, “What did you say?”

“The Li Family has been exterminated, the culprit is someone we can’t talk about, but everyone knows who it is.”

The Servant spoke nonchalantly as if he was already used to such events.

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh, “This Lu Qianyu really has quite the temper, just wiped out a whole family like that.”

“You’ve done such things too, right?” Jyang Ran looked at Lu Chuan.

“No need to remind me, I did it to rid the common folks of harm, not the same as Lu Qianyu.”

Lu Chuan sat down again.

“Right, there’s another thing I need to say,” continued the Servant.

“A wanted notice about you appeared in the city early this morning.”

Lu Chuan looked up at the Servant, “My wanted notice?

Issued by the Lu family?”

“Of course, so you might want to avoid going out for a while.”

Lu Chuan waved his hand, “I came here to deal with that woman, not to hide away like a turtle.”

“No…

you really should lay low, the incident with the Li Family has made it clear to all the other families in the city: do not offend the Lu family, not even slightly!”

“So, if they see you on the street and don’t capture you, the consequences will be severe; the Lu family will definitely take it out on them!”

Lu Chuan thought there might be some sense to that; if it was so, he would indeed face aggressions from those rich young masters upon stepping out.

Even though Lu Chuan wasn’t afraid of them in terms of strength, it would still be prudent to be cautious.

“I understand, if I need to go out, I’ll disguise myself.”

Gu Xiaorou looked at Lu Chuan, “Can we take back the Lu family?”

“If we can reclaim Lu Manor in Hei Jin City, nothing would be better; but if not, then kill them all, leave no one behind.”
