Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 445 - 445 423 Has Lu Chuan Run Away_2

445: Chapter 423: Has Lu Chuan Run Away?_2 445: Chapter 423: Has Lu Chuan Run Away?_2 Upon hearing this reassurance, everyone’s mood relaxed significantly, but many still felt very anxious inside, clearly not believing that Lu Chuan had the ability to deal with those four disciples and their master.

Ning Siquan sighed and said to Zhao Tong, “Help Xin’er into the house.”

A gloom appeared over the Ning family’s sky, and everyone fell into a state of powerless despair.

Fortunately, they still had Lu Chuan as a glimmer of hope, preventing them from truly falling into collapse.

However, to everyone’s surprise, they waited a full seven days, and Lu Chuan, like he had evaporated from the world, never appeared at the Ning family again.

Seven days later, at the Ning Family Residence.

A group of people was gathered, discussing among themselves.

“It’s been seven days now, and our son-in-law still hasn’t shown up.

I think he must have run away after hearing about how formidable those four disciples and their master were, not going for a breakthrough at all.”

“I feel the same.

Going out for a breakthrough is just an excuse he made up.

If you count the three days before those disciples and their master came to the Ning family, it has already been ten days.

Even if his breakthrough was difficult, he should have finished it in ten days.

Now, there’s not even a trace of him.

Running away is the only possibility I can think of.”

“Alas, I actually had quite some faith in this Lu Chuan, especially since he even dealt with those from the mountain god temple.

But now it seems I was naive; the Ning family has faced such a great crisis because of him, and he just ran away.

It’s such a shame that the young lady’s trust in him has been in vain.”

“Alright, stop talking, the Family Head is coming!”

…

Ning Siquan walked past these people, and immediately, they all fell silent, no longer daring to discuss.

In truth, Ning Siquan had heard everything they said, but he did not blame them, only passing by them calmly before entering the courtyard where Ning Xin was located.

He went into Ning Xin’s room, where Zhao Tong was carefully looking after her.

Over these seven days, Ning Xin’s condition had worsened, showing signs she could pass away at any moment.

Ning Siquan and his wife were frantic with worry over this but could do nothing.

They had tried all kinds of methods to save Ning Xin, but to no avail.

The means of the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest simply couldn’t be explained by modern medicine.

“How is Xin’er’s condition?” asked Ning Siquan.

Zhao Tong, looking exhausted, said, “She just drank some nourishing soup and has fallen asleep.”

Ning Siquan sighed and said, “You’ve worked hard during this time.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll take care of Xin’er.

You pack up your things and go back to your parental home.”

Zhao Tong heard this and looked incredulously at Ning Siquan, asking, “What do you mean?

Are you really planning to give up?”

Ning Siquan said helplessly, “You must have also heard the rumors about Lu Chuan in the family recently.

Everyone is saying that Lu Chuan knew about the power of those four disciples and teachers from the beginning, so he used breakthrough as an excuse to run off in advance.”

“At first, I didn’t believe these rumors, but now it has been ten days since Lu Chuan left our Ning family to make his breakthrough.

He said he would be back in three days, but now there’s no news at all.

Even if I don’t want to believe it, I’m afraid this is already the fact.”

“I sent people to Cloud Mists Mountain again today.

Even though I don’t know why the mountain has suddenly been shrouded in thick fog recently, with visibility only around three meters, the person I sent is extremely familiar with Cloud Mists Mountain and wouldn’t get lost even in heavy fog.

He searched the mountain twice and didn’t find any trace of Lu Chuan.”

After listening to Ning Siquan’s words, Zhao Tong couldn’t hold back her tears, which started falling as she sobbed, “At first, I thought Lu Chuan was a reliable person, that with him around our daughter would be safe.

But who would have thought that he would be such a coward, ruining our entire Ning family is one thing, but he even lied to us saying he would come back.

I really don’t understand how our daughter fell for such a sanctimonious person!”

Ning Siquan said, “There’s no use talking about this now.”

“The Mountain Moving Taoist Priest has set up a ring on the People’s Sentiments Riverbank with the pretext of waiting for Lu Chuan to show up to resolve their grievances.

In reality, he is challenging the experts of the entire Capital City.

In these seven days, whether it was the Muh family, the Luo family, or even the Censorate Department’s top experts, they all took action but ultimately were defeated by the three disciples of the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest.”

“The Mountain Moving Taoist Priest even issued a harsh statement, saying that the martial artists of the secular world are nothing more than slightly stronger ants and cannot be compared to the experts of Penglai Immortal Domain.

Now the entire martial arts circle of Capital City is filled with a deathly silence, and many people are blaming Lu Chuan for attracting such a terrifying existence as the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest, causing the entire martial arts world of Capital City to lose face.”

“If Lu Chuan hears these messages, it’s normal that he doesn’t dare to show his face, but he shouldn’t have given us hope, leading me to mistakenly believe that he could really deal with the Mountain Moving Taoist Priest.

If it hadn’t been for that, Ning Xin wouldn’t have ended up in her current condition.”

Zhao Tong turned to glance at Ning Xin on the bed, and said indignantly, “Then I can’t forgive Lu Chuan either.

Until now, Ning Xin still believes that Lu Chuan will definitely return.

She thinks that the long absence must be due to some mishap.

I really don’t know what kind of love potion Lu Chuan has given our daughter to have her so enchanted.

If I had known this guy was so unreliable, I would have never agreed to their marriage in the first place!”

Ning Siquan looked at Zhao Tong with pity, aware that her emotions had been repressed too much recently, so he didn’t try to persuade her any further and let her vent.

Meanwhile,

Cloud Mists Mountain.

The mountain was shrouded in thick fog.

At the peak, Lu Chuan was sitting motionless like a fossil, completely merging with the world around him.

If anyone were here, with a bit of observation, they would notice that the thick fog in the mountain was actually emanating from Lu Chuan’s body.

The fog was actually not something else, but the power the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint had bestowed upon Lu Chuan.

In that moment, Lu Chuan entered a profound state of cultivation, transforming the power from the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint in his body and then releasing it to the outside.

Because the power was so rich, it turned into a foggy form, scattering across Cloud Mists Mountain and creating a scene where Spiritual Energy was like mist.

After a long while, the motionless Lu Chuan suddenly opened his eyes, and then all the foggy Spiritual Energy throughout Cloud Mists Mountain crazily surged toward his body.

This process lasted for about half an hour.

When all the foggy Spiritual Energy had been completely absorbed into his body, Lu Chuan took a deep breath and fully stabilized his realm.

Then an extremely excited expression appeared on his face.

After fully refining the power given by the Nine Spirits Primordial Saint, he had surprisingly reached the Grade 3 Nascent Soul Realm!
