597: Chapter 557 Heading to Flower City_1 597: Chapter 557 Heading to Flower City_1 Lu Chuan’s question made Gu Xiaorou ponder for a moment.

She nodded slightly and said, “No problem, I’ll go to Flower City with you.”

Lu Chuan smiled and nodded, “Alright, it’s getting late, go and rest.”

After speaking, Lu Chuan looked at Gu Changye and said, “All of you should rest as well.

Tonight’s matters will be handled by Yuan Gangquan, I assure you there won’t be any issues.”

Having finished speaking, Lu Chuan turned and walked out of the Council Hall.

Gu Xiaosang hurried to Gu Xiaorou’s side, curiously asking, “Sis, are you going to Flower City tomorrow?

I want to go with you guys too.”

“Wouldn’t it be better for you to stay here and continue cultivating?

It’s dangerous to go wandering outside.”

“Sis, I’ve never been to Flower City before, I want to see it.”

Gu Xiaosang tugged at Gu Xiaorou’s sleeve, twisting and pouting, pleading for Gu Xiaorou to take her along.

“I really can’t with you, alright, you can come with us tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Changye also nodded happily, “Yes, come with us.

It’ll be good to see the world and you might even find some opportunities to improve your strength.

In the future, when we return to the Gu family, you can help accelerate the development of our clan.”

The elders, hearing this, also agreed that it was a good idea for the two younger members of the Gu family to travel outside.

Staying in Carefree City all the time wouldn’t lead to any significant achievements.

Soon, everyone dispersed and the Gu Family Manor became quiet.

…

The next morning, Lu Chuan got up and had a simple breakfast in the dining hall.

After that, he headed to Gu Xiaorou’s room.

Gu Xiaorou’s room was spacious and decorated beautifully, emanating a light fragrance upon entering.

Gu Xiaorou was already up, sitting in front of the vanity table, making herself up simply.

Seeing Lu Chuan’s reflection in the mirror, she quickly turned her head to look at him.

“Lu Chuan, you’re here.”

“When do we set off?”

Lu Chuan walked over and sat down on the chair nearby, “Let’s go now.”

“By the way, isn’t Hua Qianwu also in Carefree City?

We might as well go with her on our way, it’ll be nice to have an extra companion.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan quickly asked, “You don’t mind her joining us?

Bringing another stranger on the road, especially one that’s so pretty.”

Gu Xiaorou naturally said, “Of course I don’t mind.

Are you planning to keep your distance from her or something?”

“I was afraid you would mind, so I rejected her beforehand.

She originally wanted to take me back to Flower City with her.

Now, she must have left Carefree City on her own.”

Hearing this, Gu Xiaorou pursed her lips in disappointment, “That’s a shame.

In that case, let’s take the family carriage to Flower City.”

After Gu Xiaorou finished dressing and packed some necessities, she was ready to leave.

As the two of them stepped out of the main door, they saw Gu Xiaosang already waiting at the entrance.

“What are you doing here?”

Lu Chuan looked at her and asked.

“Of course, I’m setting off with you, what else would I be doing?”

“You should just stay here and behave yourself, it’s dangerous to run around.”

Lu Chuan advised.

“I don’t want to stay.

Why shouldn’t I come with you?

You two aren’t going on a honeymoon, I’m not going to be the third wheel.”

Gu Xiaosang retorted indignantly.

Gu Xiaorou looked at Lu Chuan and said, “Just take her with us.

She’s always been by my side since she was little, she won’t be accustomed to staying here alone.”

Gu Xiaosang crossed her arms and objected, “I’m not a little kid anymore, what’s there to not get used to?”

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaorou immediately said, “If that’s the case, then you should just stay here.”

Gu Xiaosang panicked at once and threw herself into Gu Xiaorou’s arms, crying grievously, “I was just joking before, please take me with you.”

Gu Xiaorou, with helpless amusement, looked towards Lu Chuan and said, “Let’s go.”

Thus, the three of them came to the entrance of the Gu family’s residence and boarded a horse-drawn carriage there.

Gu Changye stood at the entrance, watching the three depart.

He watched the shadow of the carriage disappear from his sight with a reluctant gaze before returning to the manor.

The large carriage traveled along the main road and soon passed through the city gates, leaving Carefree City behind.

The carriage was drawn by four fine horses, and the interior was spacious enough to comfortably seat seven or eight people.

The coachman drove the carriage, heading towards Flower City; it was expected to take a day to arrive.

By the time they reached their destination, it was likely to be deep into the night.

Fortunately, they had brought enough food to last through this dull day.

Lu Chuan leaned against the window, watching the scenery outside, idly waiting…

…

Meanwhile, in Flower City, Hua Qianwu had already made her way to the front gate in a flower-decorated carriage.

The carriage stopped at the entrance, and she descended.

At the entrance stood a row of people from the Hua family, all dressed in splendid attire, exuding a scent of flowers, with floral decorations in their hair.

These people, dressed to the nines, all looked anxiously toward Hua Qianwu.

“Qianwu, you’re back.

What’s the result?”

A middle-aged man approached, asking nervously.

“Father, everything has been taken care of; the target will soon arrive in Flower City.”

“He…

he didn’t come with you?

Is it just a verbal agreement?

What if he doesn’t show up?”

Hua Qianwu hurriedly said, “He will definitely come here; rest assured.”

“Alright, I’ll trust you this one time.

If he arrives in Flower City, you must bring him directly to the manor!”

Hua Qianwu nodded slightly, “Don’t worry, everyone, you can go back.

I’ll wait here at the city gate.

Once he arrives, I’ll bring him back.”

“Qianwu, I need to make sure.

Don’t make a mistake—are you certain that the Divine Tree branch is on his person?”

Hua Qianwu assured earnestly, “I found the individual according to the portrait provided by the Xu family.

If nothing goes wrong, the branch should be on that person.

Moreover, while I was by his side, I also sensed fluctuating Spiritual Energy from him.”

“Okay, then we’ll go back and wait for your good news.”

“Father, if he is unwilling to come to our manor, I’m afraid I won’t be able to bring him over by force.”

At these words, the Hua Family Patriarch Hua Tao’s face immediately showed distress.

“Why not?

We must bring him to our manor and then find a way to get the branch!”

Hua Qianwu pursed her lips, helpless, “In Carefree City, I saw with my own eyes that man killed a martial general from the Lu family.”

At this, all present members of the Hua family had their expressions turn ugly.

“Is that true?

A martial general from the Lu family was in Carefree City?

Could you have made a mistake?”

Hua Tao asked with some disbelief.

What would a martial general from the Lu family be doing in distant, unimportant Carefree City?

That was very abnormal.

Hua Qianwu replied helplessly, “The person holding the branch belongs to the Lu family, and moreover, he is an enemy of the Lu family.

That’s why approaching him could be risky for us.”

Hua Tao, incredulous, “You’re saying he is from the Lu family, yet also an enemy of the Lu family?

How is that possible?”

“His name is Lu Chuan.

His father was driven out by the Lu family, and they have been sending people to hunt them down ever since.

I don’t know the specifics.”
