Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 603 - 603 563 Reunion with Xu Lingyun 1

603: Chapter 563: Reunion with Xu Lingyun (1) 603: Chapter 563: Reunion with Xu Lingyun (1) Lu Chuan hadn’t expected that the auction house in front of him would be operated by the Xu family.

He was actually planning to cause trouble for the Xu family; little did he expect that he would end up attending their auction.

“You don’t have a feud with the Xu family, do you?

Yesterday, you had a bit of a clash with Xu Erfeng from their family.

Apart from that, there should be nothing else, right?”

Hua Qianwu asked curiously.

Lu Chuan looked at her and asked, “No feud?

Do you think the information about me leaked to you just by chance?”

Hua Qianwu gave an embarrassed smile, “Indeed, it looks like you’ve had contact with them before.”

“This Xu family makes me uncomfortable.

If they spread my information around the Kunlun Domain, I won’t spare their clan!”

Lu Chuan now fully understood the importance of the Divine Tree branch, and if his information were spread, he feared that danger and trouble would follow.

This was what he didn’t want to see; he intended to climb his way up to the Lu family and couldn’t afford to be intercepted by other powers halfway!

Seeing Lu Chuan so angry, Hua Qianwu grew a bit worried, “Although the Xu family isn’t as powerful as the Hua family, their overall strength isn’t weak.

You only have two girls by your side right now.

If you get into a fight with them, I’m afraid you might be at a disadvantage.”

Lu Chuan just shrugged indifferently, “Let’s go in and talk about it.”

Afterward, the four of them entered the auction house, which was lavishly decorated, with rows upon rows of rare mahogany seats too numerous to count.

In the audience, quite a number of people had already arrived, taking their seats in anticipation for the auction to begin.

“You two sit here for now, I’ll go backstage to check and see if that flower is there.”

After speaking, Hua Qianwu headed towards the backstage area.

On the stage at the front, the auctioneer had already taken the stage, making preparations for the upcoming auction.

However, although everything was ready, the auction still hadn’t started.

The audience below seemed to be getting a bit impatient, but they only muttered complaints under their breath and didn’t say too much.

Lu Chuan and Gu Xiaorou took their seats in the fifth row, which was relatively close to the front.

Although it couldn’t compare with the VIP seats in the first three rows, it was already quite good.

After sitting and waiting for a moment, before Hua Qianwu could return, a group of very imposing people arrived.

At the entrance, figures in blue robes walked in.

The middle-aged man leading them attracted the attention of the entire audience upon his arrival.

Following him were a dozen or so young people, all dressed in blue robes, clearly indicating that they were from the same family.

Lu Chuan turned his head to look, feeling somewhat curious.

“Who are these people?

They seem to be highly regarded by everyone here.”

Gu Xiaosang also looked back, “I don’t know them, it’s my first time in Flower City with Sister Xiaorou.”

Gu Xiaorou also shook her head, “Let’s not worry about them; the auction is about to start.”

Lu Chuan then said, “I’m afraid the reason the auction hasn’t started yet is that they were waiting for them.”

Suddenly, among those young people, Lu Chuan saw a familiar figure and face.

“Xu Lingyun; she’s actually here!”

Lu Chuan said with surprise.

The last time they met was in the Capital City of the secular world.

Gu Xiaorou immediately realized something and hurriedly asked, “Doesn’t that mean that all these people are from the Xu family?”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Finally, I know who these people are.

They are from the Xu family and are also the owners of this auction house.”

“No wonder the auction couldn’t start without them arriving here.”

The group of people descended the stairs one by one and took their seats only after reaching the first row.

Within the crowd, Xu Lingyun was at the end of the procession, and while walking, she also noticed Lu Chuan.

Her eyes suddenly widened in surprise as she looked at Lu Chuan.

She had not expected Lu Chuan to appear here!

And to be sitting in the fifth row!

Immediately, her mind was filled with a myriad of questions.

She quickly walked to the front and approached Xu Shenghua, the Family Head of the Xu family.

“Uncle, I have a friend here, and I would like to have a chat with him.”

Xu Shenghua turned to look at Xu Lingyun, and after pondering for a moment, he curiously asked, “You have friends here too?”

“Yes, like me, he comes from the secular world.”

“Then go ahead, but don’t take too much time.”

He waved his hand impatiently, signaling Xu Lingyun to leave.

In his eyes, Xu Lingyun did not seem important at all.

Although she was handsome and had a tall stature, in terms of strength, she was quite average in Flower City.

Also, because she grew up in the secular world during the End of Sects and Magic Era, her foundations were not well established, which meant her potential would not be significant, and her limit would not be too high.

Thus, in Xu Shenghua’s eyes, Xu Lingyun’s status was not even comparable to that of a servant who had been with the Xu family for seven or eight years.

Xu Lingyun could sense Xu Shenghua’s attitude, but she wouldn’t say much about it.

She knew that in the Kunlun Domain, dignity had to be earned through one’s own strength; without strength, there was no dignity.

She turned back and looked over at Lu Chuan.

Gu Xiaorou quickly tugged at Lu Chuan’s arm and said, “She’s looking over here; she’s noticed you.”

Immediately after, Xu Lingyun walked over quickly, her expression still cold, as if indifferent to the secular world.

“What a coincidence, meeting you here again.”

She asked Lu Chuan.

“Xu Lingyun, you leaked my information to the Hua family, don’t think that I’m unaware of it.”

Lu Chuan said, slightly annoyed.

Xu Lingyun pursed her lips, helplessly saying, “That was the decision of the Xu family, and I had no power to interfere.

As it turns out, the Xu family did indeed become stronger because of it.”

“Let’s cut to the chase, what do you want from me?”

Xu Lingyun took the seat next to Lu Chuan and whispered, “The Xu family has been in contact with the people from the Sky Martial Sect recently; they’re investigating the death of Yang Gui.”

Lu Chuan turned to look at her and asked, “And then?”

“I know it was you who killed Yang Gui, but I haven’t said anything.”

Xu Lingyun looked at Lu Chuan and said, “I could have chosen not to keep this secret for you, but I really don’t want to be your enemy.”

“So you want to curry favor with me, but what’s your motive?”

Lu Chuan asked bluntly.

“The family intends to marry me off to a marginal clan; in their eyes, I’m just a tool without any right to refuse.

Now, even the thought of returning to the secular world has become impossible for me.”

“I’m like a puppet, being controlled by them…”

Xu Lingyun let out a long sigh, her brows furrowed, eyes filled with sorrow.

“The Xu family has reached an agreement with the Sky Martial Sect to take the Divine Tree branch from you.

Be careful in the upcoming days; it won’t be peaceful in Flower City.”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan instantly felt that Xu Lingyun in front of him seemed rather pitiful.

Seeing her look of helplessness, she really lacked the youthful vigor and brilliance she had in the secular world.

“Go back.

If the Xu family tries to make a move on me, it won’t be impossible for me to annihilate the Xu family.

Of course, I won’t lay a hand on you.

After all, you are one of the few people who, like me, grew up in the secular world, so I understand you.”
