Chapter 1265 - 1265 1225 Taking Over Dongfang Residence

1265: Chapter 1225: Taking Over Dongfang Residence 1265: Chapter 1225: Taking Over Dongfang Residence The news brought back by Lu Chuan undeniably exhilarated everyone’s spirits.

Especially for Dongfang Cheng, his heart was filled with joy upon hearing the news.

“Then let’s head back now.

Now that the Dongfang Residence is finally reclaimed by us, this is truly wonderful!”

“After we return to the Dongfang Residence, we still have plenty of matters to handle!”

Dongfang Cheng clenched his fists, “Almost all of our family members in the residence have perished, and it would likely be quite troublesome to restore our management.”

“In that case, I will personally take charge of the management for a while.”

Dongfang Cheng turned to Lu Chuan and said, “It won’t be long before the reinforcements of the Dongfang Residence arrive, and once they do, things here will be easier to handle.”

Lu Chuan gave a slight nod, “Since that’s the case, let us enter the city first.

Now that Bai Yan City has been retaken, we can safely go back.”

They then prepared to depart from the place.

The Qingfeng Sect was only a temporary stay for Lu Chuan.

While the Sword Control Technique he learned there was indeed quite effective and impressive,

it was still just an introductory level of Sword Control Technique.

Lu Chuan had yet to master it, and his Sword Flight was also quite poor.

Therefore, he needed to practice it more in the future, especially since it was a completely new Spell with significant potential for improvement.

“Since we’re descending the mountain, let’s just ride horses back.

After all, among all of us, I am the only one who has learned the Sword Control Technique.”

Lu Chuan said.

Soon after, everyone nodded in agreement with what Lu Chuan had said.

The speed at which Lu Chuan learned the Sword Control Technique had exceeded their expectations.

They had merely scratched the surface since it had only been a day.

Thus, for this departure from the sect, they had to ride horses back.

After bidding farewell to the Sect Master of Qingfeng Sect, Lu Chuan and his companions descended the mountain and set out on the road towards Bai Yan City on horseback.

Gazing at the distant Bai Yan City, Jyang Ran sighed and then looked at Dongfang Cheng, saying, “So many of your clan members were killed; your heart must be aching?”

Dongfang Cheng sighed helplessly, “Whether I’m suffering or not, what can be done about it?

It has already happened.”

“The culprits are from the Lu family.

I just need to keep moving towards my goal!”

He then looked seriously at Lu Chuan, “As long as we can defeat Lu Fusheng, everything will be over.”

“Exactly, that guy is the root of all evil, so we need not care too much about other matters.

There’s only one target!”

Soon, they arrived at the city gate on horseback.

By the time they reached the city gate, it was already late afternoon approaching evening.

Upon their arrival at the city gate, the guards there no longer dared to stop Lu Chuan.

The last time Lu Chuan came, he had charged in directly and acted decisively without a second word.

Thus, this time they were much more cautious, knowing they could not impede Lu Chuan’s path.

The gates opened quickly.

“Listen well, tell your City Lord to come see me at the Dongfang Residence!”

Lu Chuan looked toward one of the guards and spoke with a stern tone.

“Me… Me?

No problem, I can report to the City Lord, but, what do you want him to do by coming over?”

Lu Chuan continued, “Just tell him to come over, and if he doesn’t, he’ll face death.

It’s as simple as that.”

“Ah…

well…

okay, no problem.”

The Guard nodded, intimidated.

“This City Lord of Bai Yan City is nothing but a fair-weather friend.

As soon as that bastard Lu You took over the Dongfang Residence, he immediately switched allegiance to her side.”

“Therefore, do not be merciful when dealing with such a person.”

Lu Chuan spoke seriously, “The Dongfang Residence within the city is in chaos.

If we want to manage it properly again, we must have the City Lord’s support.

So, when the City Lord comes over, you’ll have to have a good talk with him.”

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “You are more considerate.

If we can get the City Lord to come over, I should be able to stabilize the Dongfang family’s holdings here very smoothly.”

“These waves of upheaval have brought immense harm.

A bunch of powers are lying in wait, eyeing to carve up our family business.

Now, I must handle the affairs here seriously.”

Lu Chuan patted his shoulder, “Yes, when you’re back at the Residence, you’ll have lots to take care of.”

Lu Chuan then looked towards Jyang Ran and the others, saying, “Help him manage the affairs of the Residence when there’s nothing else, given it’s such a large organization.”

“No problem.”

Gu Xiaorou responded first, obediently following Lu Chuan’s words.

Jyang Ran put her hands on her hips and glanced at Dongfang Cheng, “He’s the young master of the Dongfang family.

Surely he’s not lacking that capacity?

Does he still need my help?”

“You can’t say that.”

Jyang Ran shrugged her shoulders, “I don’t have any experience.

If things go sideways, don’t blame me.”

Dongfang Cheng chuckled, “Don’t worry, I’ll assign you something very simple.

How about you be a supervisor at the salt pans outside?

You’ll definitely have an easy time.”

“Heh, nice try,” Jyang Ran rolled her eyes at him.

Subsequently, they entered the city and arrived at the Dongfang Residence.

It was still a mess here, with only a few members from the Dongfang Residence cleaning up the remnants.

Spotting Lu Chuan and his group approaching, these people stopped their work.

Someone approached Lu Chuan.

“Young Master Cheng, you’ve arrived…

It’s humiliating to see the Residence in such a state.

Lacking in strength, we let the enemy take advantage during our vulnerability, a mistake that should never have happened.”

“Fortunately, you are here.

If you take charge, we will definitely follow your lead!”

The person from the Dongfang Residence was very respectful towards Dongfang Cheng.

This was, of course, understandable, as even though Dongfang Cheng was often away from the family’s core area, his reputation and rightful position were recognized.

He patted the person on the shoulder, “Keep busy.

We are short-staffed in the Residence, recruit more people to maintain our ongoing operations.

Our residence is now vulnerable, with the strong gone.

To the other powers, this is undoubtedly a perfect opportunity to strike.”

“Under these circumstances, if any other family or power covets our assets, inform me immediately, and I will handle it.”

The Servant nodded repeatedly, “I understand; I’ll see to it right away.”

Dongfang Cheng looked at Lu Chuan, “I need to find someone capable of managing, to act as the caretaker of the Residence, to handle my orders.

Otherwise, if I need to be hands-on with everything, it would be very troublesome.”

Dongfang Cheng quickly approached the various members of the Residence.

It seemed that he would be kept busy for some time.

At this moment, at the gate, a figure hurried in, none other than the City Lord of Bai Yan City.

He briskly walked towards Lu Chuan, jogging over to them.

The two had met before.

The City Lord was also aware of Lu Chuan’s strength.
