1377: Chapter 1336: Seeing Suzumiya Setsuna Again 1377: Chapter 1336: Seeing Suzumiya Setsuna Again “Lu Chuan…

Jun, tsk tsk.

Didn’t you say you came to the Island Country for proper business?

Yet the moment you stepped off the plane, you rushed to contact your old flame.

Don’t tell me *this* is your serious business?”

Meeting Xiu Niang’s meaningful gaze, Lu Chuan didn’t bother to explain anything.

The Suzumiya family holds considerable influence in the Island Country.

If Suzumiya Setsuna’s help can be enlisted, things would naturally become much easier.

“Oh, you two-faced man.

Clearly, you have me—such a rare beauty—right by your side, yet you go out looking for other women.”

“Cut it out, will you?

Your dramatics are a bit much.

Aren’t you exhausted from them?”

Lu Chuan rolled his eyes, flagged down a cab, and headed to the location he had arranged with Suzumiya Setsuna.

After paying the fare, Lu Chuan stepped out of the car and immediately noticed Suzumiya Setsuna sitting on the street corner, waiting bitterly.

Even after so long, she was still as pale and fair as ever.

“Setsuna, long time no see.”

With a smile, Lu Chuan walked toward her.

Hearing his voice, Suzumiya Setsuna looked up, her eyes lighting up instantly.

She leapt up and threw herself into Lu Chuan’s arms.

The unexpected physical contact stunned Lu Chuan for a moment, but Suzumiya Setsuna quickly realized her overly bold move.

Sticking out her tongue, she disentangled herself, stepping back a few paces.

“Sorry, Lu Chuan Jun…

I just got too excited…”

“It’s fine.

You didn’t have to come to greet me personally.

Just sending one of your subordinates would’ve sufficed.”

Suzumiya Setsuna shook her head and solemnly replied, “That would’ve been too informal.

Lu Chuan Jun, you’re an honored guest of the Suzumiya family.

Besides, I happened to be working at a family-owned business nearby, so it was convenient for me to stop by.

Um…

and this lady is?”

“Oh, her?

She’s…”

Before Lu Chuan could answer, Xiu Niang grabbed hold of his arm, grinning as she said, “I’m Lu Chuan’s woman.

You can just call me Ms.

Embroideress.”

Lu Chuan: “…”

“So you’re Ms.

Embroideress.

Nice to meet you!

I’m Suzumiya Setsuna.

It’s an honor to make your acquaintance.”

Setsuna extended her hand, and after a glance from Xiu Niang, Xiu Niang reached out, shaking hands with her.

“Please, Lu Chuan Jun, follow me into the car.

As the host, Setsuna must offer you proper hospitality.”

“I’ll take you up on that.

By the way, Setsuna, where’s your younger sister?”

“She’s at home.

For the past few days, Father has put her under house arrest.”

At the mention of her sister, a hint of doting warmth glimmered in Setsuna’s eyes as she explained, “A few days ago, she tried sneaking off to Cathay to look for you, but Father caught her in the act.”

“Look for me?

Cathay is such a huge place; isn’t she worried about getting lost or being kidnapped by bad people?”

“That’s exactly what Father was concerned about.

However, if she got the chance to meet Lu Chuan Jun, she’d be over the moon.”

Lu Chuan pulled a wry smile, choosing to respond with a faint acknowledgment.

Before he could say anything further, Xiu Niang leaned close, soft lips brushing by his ear as she whispered sweetly, “No wonder you’re so eager—it turns out it’s about a pair of sisters!”

“Could you be serious for once?”

Xiu Niang covered her mouth and laughed.

Turning her gaze to the retreating scenery outside the window, she fell silent.

Before long, the vehicle came to a steady halt, and they finally arrived at the Suzumiya family estate.

Familiar buildings brought faint memories to Lu Chuan’s mind.

“Setsuna, now that you mention it, ever since I left, has the Yin Ghost Sect been causing you any trouble?”

“Thanks to you, Lu Chuan Jun, the Yin Ghost Sect has quieted down a lot in recent days.

There haven’t been any major moves.

The Lu Chuan Army’s infiltration into their stronghold left them badly damaged.

It’s just that…”

“Just what?”

Suzumiya Setsuna hesitated, lips trembling as she sighed deeply, unwilling to disclose more.

“Lu Chuan Jun, this isn’t the right place to discuss such matters.

Let’s save it for later.”

“Fair enough.”

“Lu Chuan Jun, may I know the purpose of your visit to the Island Country?

If it’s convenient, please let me know.

The Suzumiya family will spare no effort in assisting you.”

“Hmm…

I suppose I can share.

Do you still remember Grand Elder Huang Quan?”

At this remark, Lu Chuan immediately noticed the flash of surprise in Setsuna’s eyes.

“Yes, Lu Chuan Jun…

You wouldn’t happen to be…”

“There’s some history between us.

This trip might involve facing off with Grand Elder Huang Quan.”

“So it really is that…

Lu Chuan Jun, are you confident?”

“It’s hard to say.

If he’s broken through the seal and reached the Nine Layers of Nascent Soul realm, he’ll be tough to handle.

But…

I’ll give it my all.”

With that, Lu Chuan followed Setsuna into the Suzumiya family estate.

At last, Ichikazu had completed her house arrest.

Catching sight of Lu Chuan out of the corner of her eye, she widened her eyes in disbelief, frozen on the spot.

“Are you…

Brother Lu Chuan?”

“Ichikazu, long time no see.”

“It really is you, Brother Lu Chuan!

When did you get here?

Ichikazu didn’t even go to pick you up!”

The girl scurried over, standing shyly before Lu Chuan.

“I came straight after landing.

Your sister told me you were under house arrest?”

Ichikazu stuck out her tongue and explained, “I wanted to go to Cathay for fun, but Father wouldn’t let me.

He was worried I’d get into trouble, so I argued back—and ended up grounded…”

“You, all alone in Cathay?

That wouldn’t work.

What if you got lost?

If you really want to visit Cathay, once I’ve taken care of the matters I’m handling here, I can take you properly and show you Cathay’s scenery.”

“Really?

That’d be wonderful!”

Meeting Ichikazu’s admiring gaze, Lu Chuan pulled a faint smile and said, “Alright, go play.

I need to discuss some important matters with your sister.”

“Can’t Ichikazu listen?”

“It’s about cultivation.

If you’re interested, I don’t mind you sticking around.”

At the mention of cultivation, Ichikazu decisively lost interest, waving dismissively: “Never mind then!

I’m going back to my room.

By the way, Sis, don’t forget to call me for dinner.”

“Got it.”

Watching her sister leave, Suzumiya Setsuna’s lips curved upward in a soft smile, filled with affection.

“Alright, now can you tell me—what exactly is the Yin Ghost Sect up to behind the scenes?”

With a heavy sigh, Suzumiya Setsuna spoke gravely, “Lu Chuan Jun, have you ever heard of Shikigami?”

“Shikigami?

What’s that?”

“Shikigami are powerful supernatural beings said to exist only in legends.

Their strength is immense, their power terrifying.

Yet legends are just that—legends.

Few truly believe them.

But the Yin Ghost Sect, those despicable creatures, somehow acquired a Secret Technique that sacrifices lives as offerings and actually managed to summon those mythical monsters into reality.

Recently, near Lingying River, rumors of the Kappa have emerged.

Over a hundred cultivators claim to have witnessed it.

Worse still, there were cultivators who lost their lives to the Kappa.

The incident stirred up significant trouble, and the family exerted great effort to suppress the news.

In recent times, we’ve been trying to prevent the Yin Ghost Sect’s plans, but those vermin are like rats hiding in the shadows, scuttling everywhere.

So…”
