Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1248 - 1248 1208 The Situation is Decided

1248: Chapter 1208: The Situation is Decided 1248: Chapter 1208: The Situation is Decided Lu Chuan’s words made Dongfang Cheng’s heart race faster.

“Are you saying that one day, we might become the Family Heads of the Lu family and Dongfang family!”

“And then, could our two families live in harmony and prosper together?”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Exactly, that’s what I mean.”

“Naturally, that won’t be a problem at all.

I am definitely on your side; after all, we’ve come this far together and know each other well!”

“I know you’re not a bad person, not a bastard like Lu Fusheng.”

“If you can take control of the Lu family, that would indeed be a great thing!”

“Within the Dongfang family, there truly are some who are pro-war.

They are very ambitious and want to defeat the Lu family to reign supreme alone.”

Dongfang Cheng scratched his head, “If that’s the case, then if I become the Dongfang Family Patriarch, it could indeed play a stabilizing role.”

Lu Chuan smiled and patted his shoulder, “Right, that’s exactly what I mean.

The future of the Kunlun Domain will be our world.”

Dongfang Cheng suddenly burst into hearty laughter, a laugh full of excitement; he had never imagined he could reach such a high position.

“However, talking about this now is still too early.

We have many troubles to deal with, and now that we’ve arrived at the main battlefield, we just have to fight our way through!” Dongfang Cheng said earnestly, clenching his fist.

Lu Ziyang, sitting beside him, was startled, “You two are talking way too big.”

“The Lu family and the Dongfang family are both behemoths within the Kunlun Domain, how could they be so easily overthrown.”

“The current rulers of both families are not easy to deal with, kicking them out will be extraordinarily difficult.”

Lu Chuan, however, was nonchalant, “Take it step by step, at least it’s a grand goal.”

The carriage continued to move forward…

By the time they reached Bai Yan City, it was already deep into the night.

All around was pitch black, and there was a light rain falling from the sky.

At the city gate, the carriage stopped, and Dongfang Cheng got out and walked towards the gate.

“Hey!

Open the gate!”

The city gate was closed at that moment, and Dongfang Cheng was puzzled; normally, at this hour, it should not be possible for the city gate to be closed.

A guard approached and said, “Sorry, please go back.

Bai Yan City is under martial law recently; after 10 p.m., no one is allowed to enter!”

“The city is quite chaotic lately; we need to strictly control who enters from outside.”

Dongfang Cheng continued, “I am from the Dongfang family.

Don’t I have the right to enter?”

“Of course, the City Lord has decreed that no one is allowed to enter, we can only wait until daylight!”

“Wait until daylight?

Why!

So nobody can go out at night?”

“Correct, that’s right.

There has been a major crisis within the Dongfang Residence today, and several hundred people have died in a single day.”

“If the situation continues like this, it’s not good for us!”

“We need to handle this matter first, and then we can reopen the gate!”

At that moment, Lu Chuan stepped down from the carriage and walked toward the guard.

“Open the gate!

It’s late at night and it’s raining; we must enter the city!”

Lu Chuan said in a determined tone.

Upon hearing this, the guard became agitated, “Today, I simply will not open the gate, what can you do about it?

This is an order from our boss, and you must comply; this is Bai Yan City, a city we control!”

Lu Chuan swiftly drew his Soul Terminating Sword and walked towards him.

“Is that so?

If you don’t open the door, I will cut you down!”

Upon hearing this, the man was so frightened that he began to tremble, “You…

you dare!

Go on, try and see!”

The murderous aura emanating from Lu Chuan made him hesitate to act rashly, knowing that he was no match for Lu Chuan, yet he still stood his ground at the door, refusing to let anyone pass.

“Is that so?

Then I’ll just kill you and break in, I’d like to see who can stop me!”

If they can’t enter the city tonight, they will have to spend the night outside.

Lu Chuan naturally couldn’t let his own people stand in the rain, so no matter what, he must enter the city today, even if it meant offending the City Lord.

Dongfang Cheng hurriedly walked over, chuckling as he said, “Stop being stubborn, open the gate.

If you really don’t, he will take action for real.”

“Moreover, I am from the Dongfang family, and I’m one of the young masters within the clan.”

“This is my token, take a look.”

Seeing this, the Guard could only helplessly choose to compromise.

He certainly didn’t dare to confront Lu Chuan to the end since he was on a monthly salary; there was no need for him to risk his life.

“Alright, alright, go in then, stop bothering me with your nonsense.”

He said helplessly, clearly finding Lu Chuan’s method more effective.

“Open the gate!”

Lu Chuan put away the Soul Terminating Sword.

Dongfang Cheng came over and said with a smile, “Your approach is indeed effective.”

Shortly after, the gate was opened, and they began to enter the city.

Once inside the city, the streets were empty, with only a few lanterns still casting a faint light.

After walking for a distance, Lu Chuan saw an inn.

“How about we stay in the inn first, have a meal, get some rest, and not go to the Dongfang Residence just yet?”

“We might as well just go directly to the Residence, it’s more comfortable, and the food is better,” said Dongfang Cheng.

“We still don’t know what the situation is like inside there.”

Hearing this, Dongfang Cheng nodded helplessly, “You do have a point.”

“In that case, let’s stay outside for the night.

Tomorrow morning, let’s find out what’s happening inside and then go over.”

They parked the carriage by the entrance and then the six of them entered the inn.

Approaching the counter.

Dongfang Cheng looked at the proprietress and asked cheerily, “Do you have any rooms available?”

“Yes?

Are you looking to stay?

How many rooms do you need?”

“Just give us one room per person, we’re not short on money.”

“Oh, a big spender, no problem, one room each.”

Then, Dongfang Cheng continued to inquire, “By the way, I have a question.”

He whispered secretly, covering his mouth, “What’s going on inside Bai Yan City now?

I heard there are problems within the Dongfang family!”

The proprietress looked at him with a strange expression.

“You’re asking this?”

“Aren’t you a local?”

“Of course not, I just arrived in Bai Yan City today!”

The proprietress sighed helplessly.

“Things have not been peaceful in Bai Yan City lately, I don’t know what you’re here for, but I advise you to stay out of the spotlight.”

“Within Bai Yan City, there are two factions in the Dongfang Residence, one for independence and one against it.”

“By independence, they mean that they want to break away from the control of the Dongfang family’s main manor and stop handing over their wealth.”

“They want to go independent.”

Dongfang Cheng’s eyebrows knitted tightly, “This is no small matter.”

“Of course, it’s no small matter.

Bai Yan City is so important to the Dongfang family, a major source of wealth; how could they easily break away.”

“So now, who is in control of Dongfang Residence?”

“The ones in Dongfang Residence now are those who want independence; they’re trying to escape the control of the main manor.”
