421: Chapter 402 Muh Yuqing_1 421: Chapter 402 Muh Yuqing_1 “Oh no, that girl really doesn’t care about her own life just to save that cat.

This is the most turbulent part of the People’s Sentiments River.

Even seasoned swimmers wouldn’t dare to jump in here.

Every year, there are double-digit deaths from drowning in this area.

Now that she’s fallen in, I’m afraid she won’t be able to come back up,” an old man said somewhat helplessly.

Everyone around nodded in agreement.

These people were all local residents, very familiar with the dangers of this part of the river.

Among those present, quite a few knew how to swim, but none dared to jump in to rescue her.

Lu Chuan watched the girl struggling in the river, getting swept further away by the currents, and without much thought, quickly stored his cellphone, bank cards, and other belongings into the Demon Suppression Pagoda.

He then rolled up his pant legs and sleeves.

A man who had just finished calling the fire rescue saw Lu Chuan as if he was about to dive in to save the girl and quickly said, “Buddy, you must be from out of town, right?

I advise you not to go in the water.

The current here is too strong, and there are many undercurrents.

Even if you’re a strong swimmer, you could still get dragged away by the undercurrents.

I’ve already called the fire department; they’ll be here soon.

If you go in now, I’m afraid it’ll end up being two people needing rescue.”

The people around all looked towards Lu Chuan, dissuading him from going into the water.

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Thank you for your concern, but this water is nothing to me.

Plus, that girl and the kitten are about to be swept away.

If they’re not rescued in time, I’m afraid there will be an accident.”

After speaking, he walked to the edge of the bank.

The first man to speak shook his head continuously, saying, “This guy is being too overconfident.

With such a rapid current, forget about rescuing someone—if he jumps in, it’s questionable whether he’ll be able to swim at all…”

He hadn’t finished his sentence when he was suddenly stunned.

Because he watched as Lu Chuan leaped straight towards the river, and just before hitting the water, he lightly tapped the surface twice with the tips of his toes, and then his figure swiftly shot forward.

Everyone was shocked by this sight.

The first word to come to mind for the man who spoke first was “lightness skill over water.”

He stared in shock at Lu Chuan running wildly on the surface of the water, murmuring, “Damn, seems like I misjudged.

The current is indeed turbulent and swimming really isn’t feasible, but this dude plainly had no intention of swimming at all!”

The rest of the people also marveled at Lu Chuan’s skill of moving on the water.

An old man who had just arrived and was unaware of the situation saw the scene in the river and said with a laugh, “Oh, is this a martial arts film?

They’ve got a pretty good stunt actor!”

Lu Chuan skimmed quickly over the water and grabbed the kitten that was being swept away by the currents.

Then he dashed towards the girl, grabbed her clothes with one hand, pulling her out of the water, and held her in a princess carry along with the kitten, moving swiftly back to shore in a few deft movements.

Enthusiastic applause and cheers broke out around them, obviously, everyone was impressed by Lu Chuan’s divine and almost special-effects-like agility.

Lu Chuan looked down at the girl and the kitten in his arms.

The kitten, soaked to the skin, was treading on the girl’s chest, meowing incessantly.

The girl, on the other hand, was holding onto Lu Chuan’s neck tightly with both hands, gazing at him with big, infatuated eyes as if she had lost her soul.

Actually, she could swim, which was why she dared to climb over the fence to rescue the kitten.

But she didn’t expect the current to be so rapid.

Once she fell in, she couldn’t even manage the most basic swimming position and could only keep her head above the water, trying not to choke.

However, because the current was too fast, she was swept away immediately.

At that moment, she realized that she might very well die there today.

Fear filled her heart.

When she was in despair, she suddenly saw a figure descending from the sky, reaching her in a few quick movements, and snatched her out of the water.

This scene was etched deeply into her mind, and she was stunned.

For the first time in her life, she experienced a rapid heartbeat and flushed cheeks.

She had never felt like this before, and this new sensation was intoxicating.

“Miss, are you all right?” Lu Chuan asked.

The girl looked at Lu Chuan with starry, peachy eyes and a glossy droplet at the corner of her mouth, not knowing if it was river water or drool, and murmured, “So…

so handsome…”

“Miss?” Lu Chuan said, seeing the girl did not respond, he asked again.

She finally snapped out of it, her face blushing and full of shyness, she looked away and said, “I…

I’m fine, thank you.”

Lu Chuan said, “If you’re fine, then you don’t have to cling to me so tightly.”

The girl’s face went red with embarrassment.

She quickly got down from Lu Chuan, releasing his neck, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to.”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “As long as you’re okay.”

He then handed the kitten back into her arms.

“This little one should be fine too.

I’ll leave it to you.

I’ve got things to do, so I’ll be leaving now.”

Cradling the kitten, the girl quickly called out, “Brother, wait a moment!”

Lu Chuan stopped and asked, “Is there something else?”

The girl shyly inquired, “Brother, can I add your WeChat?”

Lu Chuan smiled and said, “Sure.”

The girl eagerly took out her phone, which was highly water-resistant, so it didn’t get damaged when she fell into the water, and added Lu Chuan’s WeChat.

After Lu Chuan accepted the WeChat request, he saw that she had noted her name as Muh Yuqing.

Muh Yuqing asked Lu Chuan, “What’s your name, brother?

I’ll note it down.”

“Lu Chuan,” Lu Chuan replied.

After she was done, she flashed a sweet smile at Lu Chuan and said, “Brother, thank you for saving me.

I’ll make sure to thank you properly later.

For now, I won’t keep you from your business.”

Lu Chuan smiled and left without saying anything further.

To him, this was just a small effort and he hadn’t thought of asking the girl for any repayment.

Muh Yuqing watched Lu Chuan’s retreating figure, her expression excited, “How can he be so handsome!

And so gallant!

Could it be…

could it be that he’s my fated one?”

At this moment, a girl arrived with a bodyguard in tow.

“Miss, you really gave us a hard time looking for you, we almost couldn’t find you,” the girl said, gasping for breath.

Her name was Xiaocui, and she was Muh Yuqing’s maid.

Upon seeing Muh Yuqing drenched, with the soaked kitten in her arms, Xiaocui quickly asked, “Miss, what happened to you?”

Muh Yuqing said with a nonchalant face, “Oh, it’s nothing, I just accidentally fell into the water.”

Xiaocui’s face changed, and she immediately started checking Muh Yuqing’s body, “Miss, you can’t scare me like this, if something were to happen to you, both the master and the young master would surely kill me!”

Muh Yuqing said, “I’m fine, aren’t I?

There’s no need for you to worry.”

Still, Xiaocui couldn’t help but continue to fuss over Muh Yuqing’s condition.

Muh Yuqing, however, walked towards the distance with the kitten in her hands, her mind seemingly preoccupied with thoughts unknown.

Suddenly, she spoke, “Xiaocui, let me ask you a question.”

Xiaocui asked, “What is it?”

Muh Yuqing glanced at her and said, “Do you believe in love at first sight?”

“Miss, you…” Xiaocui was dumbfounded, never expecting the usually innocent miss to ask such a question.

Not far away, an old man who had been watching Muh Yuqing and her party leave suddenly spoke up, “I just realized, the girl who fell into the water just now, seems to be the Ahn family’s young miss!”

“The Ahn family’s miss?

My goodness, the Ahn family is one of Capital City’s Three Great Noble Families, the dude just saved her and left, isn’t that missing out on a huge opportunity?”

…

At the Luo Family Mansion.

Lu Chuan arrived at the front gate, gazing at the grand and imposing residence, he couldn’t help but admire the Luo family’s wealth and power.

This place was situated in the most central area of Capital City, where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, and on the way here, the taxi driver had told him the Luo family’s mansion was once a royal palace, covering a vast area, indicating the kind of status the Luo family held in Capital City.

As he approached the gate, two guards immediately stopped him.

“This is the Luo Family Mansion, no outsiders may enter!”

Lu Chuan cupped his hands respectfully and said, “Brothers, please announce my arrival.

Just say that Luo Yunshang’s son has come to see the Luo family Family Head.”

Both guards were startled when they heard the name Luo Yunshang; they were quite aware that she was the miss who had been expelled from the Luo family years ago.

Without being difficult due to the sensitive name of Luo Yunshang, one of the guards said, “Wait here for a moment, I’ll go in and report.”

He then turned and ran into the mansion.

It wasn’t long before he came running back to Lu Chuan, “Come in, wait in the main courtyard, don’t stray, the Family Head will come to see you after he’s done with his matters.”

Lu Chuan nodded and walked into the mansion.

Waiting in the courtyard, he saw many servants busy at work, chatting amongst themselves without paying attention to the suddenly appeared Lu Chuan.

“Did you hear?

Our Luo family and the Muh family will have a martial arts competition in a week, but Xingchen, the young master, is still stuck at the Ninth Grade Grandmaster stage and can’t break through.

I heard from the guards that in this year’s competition, our Luo family will probably lose again.”

“Ah?

Isn’t a Ninth Grade Grandmaster already very powerful?

He can’t beat that young man from the Muh family?”

“A Ninth Grade Grandmaster is indeed formidable, but they say that the Muh family’s guy had already broken through to the Profound Realm three months ago.

Apparently reaching the Profound Realm at his age makes him almost the strongest of the young generation in Capital City, a Ninth Grade Grandmaster is no match for someone in the Profound Realm!”

“Tsk, our Luo family has lost for two years in a row, haven’t we?

If we lose again this year, we might truly become the laughingstock of Capital City.

Although it’s only a competition among the younger generation, it affects our family’s honor.

Losing year after year, people outside will start thinking our Luo family is in decline.”

“Hush, don’t speak anymore, the Family Head is coming!”

The group immediately fell silent.

Lu Chuan listened to these servants’ conversation and couldn’t help but smile.

He had always thought Capital City was a place teeming with talents, full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, with intense competition, but now knowing that someone who just broke through to the Profound Realm was considered the strongest of the young generation in Capital City, he couldn’t help but feel that his own growth had been quite rapid.

Nowadays, he had lost interest in competing for the title of the best among the younger generation, given that his strength was now on par with the strongest people in the secular world.

Then, a middle-aged man approached, it was the current Family Head of the Luo family, Luo Zhenhua, Lu Chuan’s uncle.

Luo Zhenhua stared at Lu Chuan for a moment and asked, “Are you Yunshang’s son?”

Lu Chuan nodded, guessing that this man, who shared some resemblance with his mother, was the Luo family’s Family Head.

“Follow me.” Luo Zhenhua turned and headed towards the main hall.

Lu Chuan followed him.

“Take a seat,” Luo Zhenhua said.

Lu Chuan sat down obediently on a chair.

Just as he was about to state his purpose, Luo Zhenhua cut him off.

“I know why you’re here,” Luo Zhenhua said with an air of superiority, placing a bank card on the table next to Lu Chuan.

“This card contains half a million.

It should be a considerable sum for you.

Your mother’s choice disappointed us all, hence she was expelled from the Luo family.

Therefore, you and the Luo family have no relation now.

However, considering she is my sister, I cannot let you leave empty-handed.”

“Take the money and leave.

Your ties with my Luo family end here, don’t come back again.”
