Chapter 472 - 472 444 The Ins and Outs_1

472: Chapter 444: The Ins and Outs_1 472: Chapter 444: The Ins and Outs_1 Lu Qingshuang was taken aback, her face showing a trace of panic as she frowned and said, “What do you mean?”

Lu Chuan did not answer, but instead barked, “Which concubine of Lu Fusheng gave birth to you!”

Lu Qingshuang, not understanding, still replied, “My mother is the Lu Family Matriarch!”

Lu Chuan’s eyes lit up as he muttered, “So you are the child of the legitimate wife, then your status in the Lu family must be quite high.”

Lu Qingshuang couldn’t figure out what Lu Chuan was getting at and asked again, “What on earth do you want to do!”

Lu Chuan scoffed coldly, saying, “Of course, to take you hostage!”

“You claim to be my cousin which means you already know my identity.

I don’t believe your Lu family will let me go.

After you, the Lu family will only send even more powerful people to kill me.

To save my own life, I can only take you hostage first.

If they still want to chase me to my death, then I will have to use you as a cushion.”

After Lu Qingshuang revealed her affiliation with Kunlun Domain’s Lu family, he had already grasped the severity of the situation.

Neither Lu Xuan nor the Lu family guard who came after to avenge Lu Xuan had managed to get the message back to the Lu family that Lu Chuan was the son of Lu Cangsheng, so to the Lu family, Lu Chuan was just a minor lackey that had killed an insignificant young master of theirs.

In such a scenario, even if the Lu family wanted revenge, they wouldn’t send too many powerful people.

With Lu Chuan’s current strength, he could still easily cope.

But if the Lu family already knew his identity, then it changed the nature of things.

Given how the Lu family resented Lu Cangsheng, they would probably send all the capable masters in the family to kill him, and possibly even Lu Fusheng himself might come.

In that situation, with Lu Chuan’s Grade 4 Nascent Soul strength, he definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

After all, Lu Qingshuang, as one of the younger generation of the Lu family, already had the strength of a Grade 7 Saint Realm.

The strength of those old members of the Lu family was probably far beyond Lu Chuan’s imagination.

That was why Lu Chuan thought of capturing Lu Qingshuang as a hostage, only then would he have the capital to negotiate with the Lu family.

Lu Qingshuang, upon hearing Lu Chuan’s words, showed a face full of speechlessness, and said, “Who told you that the Lu family already knows your identity?”

Lu Chuan said, “You said you are my cousin.

Do you think the Lu family doesn’t know?”

Lu Qingshuang said, “Right now, only I am aware of this matter.

If the family knew you were the son of Lu Cangsheng, do you think they would only send me alone?”

Lu Chuan was stunned for a moment before releasing a stream of mental energy onto Lu Qingshuang, saying, “Don’t fool me, maybe they just haven’t arrived yet.”

Lu Qingshuang said, “Then why wouldn’t I wait for them to arrive before dealing with you?”

Lu Chuan said, “Because you are arrogant.

You believe that you can handle me on your own.

You didn’t expect my strength to be far greater than you imagined.”

Lu Qingshuang: “…”

Lu Chuan said, “See, nothing to say now, right?

You’re just trying to deceive me!”

With a face full of helplessness, Lu Qingshuang had no choice but to explain the actual situation to Lu Chuan.

Not long after the Lu family guard was killed by the combined efforts of Lu Chuan and Situ Qinghuan, the Lu family confirmed that this guard too had perished at Lu Chuan’s hands.

The 13th Concubine, Qiao Rong, couldn’t accept this outcome and asked Lu Fusheng to send an even more powerful expert to the secular world to execute Lu Chuan and avenge Lu Xuan.

Just at that time, Lu Qingshuang was about to deal with some personal affairs in the secular world.

Seeing Qiao Rong’s saddened state, she volunteered to take on the task of killing Lu Chuan, as killing a man from the secular world would be easy for someone of her Grade 7 Saint Realm strength.

After arriving in the secular world, she found that the operational rules here were very different from Kunlun Domain.

In Kunlun Domain, the law of the jungle prevails, where the strong are revered.

The powerful make the rules, and the weak can only obey in silence.

In contrast, the secular world binds everyone under the law, an approach that indeed provides a stable and safe living environment for its people.

However, Lu Qingshuang soon realized that those who lived under these rules for a long time lost their valor and sense of honor.

Everyone lives carefully under these regulations, but when faced with those who brazenly break the rules and bully them, these people choose to endure in silence.

Lu Qingshuang, who has always had a heart full of chivalry, naturally couldn’t stand this situation, so on her way to find Lu Chuan, she began to carry out acts of heroism, becoming the internet sensation known as the heroine, Dark Night Rose.

While fighting against evil and promoting goodness, she also investigated Lu Chuan’s whereabouts, and eventually learned that he was from Cloud City, and she hurried here.

Initially, she intended to kill Lu Chuan as soon as possible to deal with her own matters.

However, after arriving in Cloud City, she briefly inquired about Lu Chuan and was surprised to find that he had an excellent reputation here, with everyone praising him as a skilled doctor capable of miraculous healings.

This sparked her curiosity about Lu Chuan, prompting her to investigate further.

Without investigation, there was no awareness, but upon investigating, she was startled.

She discovered that Lu Chuan’s mother was named Luo Yunshang.

And Luo Yunshang was the woman whom Lu family traitor Lu Cangsheng found in the secular world after leaving the Lu family, who was later stealthily eliminated by her aunt.

Connecting Lu Chuan’s surname to hers, she instantly understood the situation, and thus came to know Lu Chuan’s identity.

Although the entire Lu family considers Lu Cangsheng a traitor, Lu Qingshuang doesn’t agree in her heart.

She liked her Uncle Lu Cangsheng very much when she was a child, frequently sticking to him and asking him to play with her; one could say half of her happy childhood moments were provided by Lu Cangsheng.
