Lu Chuan was cultivating in his room when he suddenly received a text message from Muh Yuqing.

“Big brother, after I was taken back home yesterday, I got beaten severely, and my dad almost broke my legs.

I ran away from home in a rage, and now I feel terrible all over, as if I might die at any moment.

Can you come see me?”

Upon reading the message, Lu Chuan frowned.

He hadn’t expected Muh Yuqing to have such a severe disagreement with her family, and from her description, it sounded like she had sustained injuries as well.

This was definitely a worrying situation.

Concerned for Muh Yuqing’s safety, he quickly asked where she was, and upon learning that she was in a hotel, he hurried over.

Arriving at the hotel, Lu Chuan found the room where Muh Yuqing was staying and knocked on the door.

Soon, the door opened, and Muh Yuqing appeared in front of Lu Chuan, wearing only a loose tank top with her hair still damp from her bath.

Seeing Muh Yuqing appear to be fine, Lu Chuan showed a trace of puzzlement and asked, “Aren’t you feeling terrible everywhere?”

With a hint of shyness, Muh Yuqing pulled Lu Chuan into the room, locked the door behind her, leaned on it, and said with her lips pressed together, “Big brother, I’m sorry, I lied to you…”

Sensing something was off, Lu Chuan grew wary and asked, “What do you want to do?”

Muh Yuqing said, “Big brother, don’t misunderstand, I have no ill intentions.

I actually want to ask you for a favor.”

Lu Chuan asked, “What favor?”

Muh Yuqing explained, “I only found out last night that my brother accidentally injured his soul trying to make a breakthrough, so he desperately needs the Luo family’s Soul Herb to recover.

And since that Soul Herb is the prize for the martial competition, my brother is sure to lose to you, so I was hoping to ask if you could let my brother have the Soul Herb.”

“I wouldn’t let my brother take the Soul Herb for nothing.

I…

I’m willing to exchange my body for it!”

Having said that, she threw her arms around Lu Chuan and asked weakly, “Big brother, is that okay?”

Lu Chuan stiffened, swallowed hard, and quickly pushed Muh Yuqing away, saying, “No.”

Muh Yuqing looked at him puzzled and asked, “Why not?”

Lu Chuan replied, “That Soul Herb is also very important to me.

In fact, the reason I came to Capital City was to acquire that Soul Herb, so I can’t give it to your brother.

Sorry.”

At his words, Muh Yuqing was momentarily stunned, “So that’s how it is…”

Lu Chuan knocked on her head and said, “It’s fine to want to help your brother, but don’t you think this approach is too rash?

If I were a bad person, I could easily pretend to agree, take advantage of you, and then go back on my word.

If that happened, you wouldn’t even have a place to cry.”

Muh Yuqing covered her head, feeling embarrassed, and said, “But I know you’re not a bad person.

And besides…

Besides…”

“Besides what?” Lu Chuan pressed.

Muh Yuqing’s face turned red, and she quickly said, “Nothing, nothing.

Big brother, since you’re already here, why don’t we sit down and chat for a bit…”

Lu Chuan chuckled and said, “We’re alone together, aren’t you afraid that chatting might lead to something else?

You’re still so young, don’t fill your head with those thoughts, or you might regret it when you’re older.

There won’t anywhere to reason about it then.”

“Alright, since you’re fine, I’ll be going.

Don’t have such crooked ideas anymore.”

With that, he opened the door and left.

Muh Yuqing sighed, a touch of sadness on her face, uncertain if the loss she felt was due to not managing to secure the Soul Herb for her brother or because nothing happened with Lu Chuan.

…

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, the day of the martial contest between the Luo family and the Muh family arrived.

The contest was held at the well-known Miracle Martial Arts Hall in Capital City.

Early that day, the hall was already packed with people, all there to watch the excitement.

Both the Luo family and the Muh family’s members had arrived early as the contest wouldn’t just involve a single match between the top talents of each family.

Before that, numerous young members with strong abilities from both families would spar.

Lu Chuan followed Luo Zhenhua, Guan Yue, Luo Xingchen, and Luo Shiyu to the Miracle Martial Arts Hall and entered the competition hall through a special passage.

Young disciples from both families were already sparring on the stage, with the audience cheering enthusiastically.

Luo Zhenhua led the group towards the Luo family’s reserved seats.

Just then, a burly middle-aged man with a scar on his face approached with a sneer and said, “Patriarch Luo, you really don’t need to show up for this year’s contest.

After all, the only outcome for the Luo family, besides losing, couldn’t possibly be any other.

By not being here, you could save some face at least.”

Luo Zhenhua snorted coldly in response, “Thunder Tiger, you’re nothing but a dog by Muh Liancheng’s side, and yet you have the nerve to bark in front of me?

It’s true that the Luo family has lost the last two years, but this year we will win the contest!”

The man called Thunder Tiger was the owner of the Miracle Martial Arts Hall, a high-ranking expert at Profound Realm Level 7 with a significant reputation in Capital City’s martial arts circle.

When he established the Miracle Martial Arts Hall, he was indebted to Muh Liancheng, hence he was fiercely loyal to Muh Liancheng and acted as his follower, which explained his incivility towards the Luo family members.

Thunder Tiger didn’t get angry at Luo Zhenhua’s remark but instead turned his gaze to Lu Chuan and smiled, “If I’m not mistaken, he must be your nephew, right?

I don’t see anything special about this kid.

Thinking he can beat the young master of the Muh family seems quite like a delusion, doesn’t it?”
