631: Chapter 591 Visit to the Xu Family_1 631: Chapter 591 Visit to the Xu Family_1 In the front courtyard, Lu Chuan’s figure was shuttling between several obstacles, moving so swiftly and agilely that it was hard for the naked eye to catch.

Just a morning of practice, and Lu Chuan had already reached the entry level; this speed was quite good.

Lu Chuan was very satisfied with this.

He stopped and wiped the sweat beads from his forehead and saw Hua Qianwu walking toward him.

“Do you need something?”

Lu Chuan continued to ask, “Is there any news on the Immortal’s Beard Herb?”

Hua Qianwu shook her head slightly, “No news yet, the family has already sent people out to gather clues.

If they find any leads about the Immortal’s Beard Herb, they will notify us immediately.”

“However, my father sent me on a mission to the Xu family to inquire if they have any clues.”

Lu Chuan looked at Hua Qianwu and asked, “Aren’t you planning to hold the Xu family accountable?”

“We will act after the Spirit Tree is revived.

We don’t have enough people right now.”

Lu Chuan shrugged, “Then I’ll go with you and take care of them in the process.”

“Ah?

You alone, want to wipe out an entire family?”

“What’s the problem with that?

Isn’t it okay as long as I’m strong enough?”

“True, but that would have too big of an impact.

It’s better not to engage with them if possible.”

Lu Chuan, undisturbed, said, “As long as we kill all the core members of the Xu family, the rest should be easy to deal with.”

Hua Qianwu nodded slightly, “Alright, let’s set off now then.

However, when I get there, I’ll ask about the situation first to see if they have any information about the Immortal’s Beard Herb.

If they do, there’s no rush to take action against them.”

At that moment, Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang also came over.

“Any news on the Immortal’s Beard Herb?”

Gu Xiaorou asked as she approached.

Hua Qianwu turned to look at Gu Xiaorou, “Not yet, we’re thinking of going to the Xu family first to see if they know the whereabouts of this material.”

“Then let’s go and ask them.

If they know anything, that would make things easier.”

Immediately after, the group of four set off again, heading toward the Xu Family Manor in Flower City.

The streets of Flower City were bustling, with various vendors hawking their wares, and many children could be seen chasing and playing around on the street corners.

Here, one could see people dressed in various styles, most of them tourists from major cities, so Flower City was a melting pot with all sorts of people.

Soon, Hua Qianwu arrived at the entrance to the Xu Family Manor.

Meanwhile, inside the Xu family.

In the Council Hall, Xu Shenghua sat in the main seat, with all the core members of the Xu family present.

Their faces were grave, with worry clouded on their faces.

Xu Shenghua looked at everyone and said, “Elder Huang has been missing since he left yesterday, and there’s no news of him in the city.

The people we sent out haven’t found him either.”

“How can a person just vanish into thin air like that?

There’s definitely something fishy going on!”

“Not only that, but Lu Ming, who visited yesterday, has also disappeared without a trace today.

Lu Ming is not such a big deal, as he’s always been elusive, but it’s really unsettling that Elder Huang hasn’t returned.”

The members of the Xu family were all anxiously hoping that Huang Yueqing would bring them uplifting news.

That news would be the defeat of Lu Chuan and the retrieval of the Divine Tree branch.

Accomplishing this, Hua family would be completely thrust into hell, with no chance of ever turning the situation around!

Xu Shenghua paced back and forth in the Council Hall, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Last night, he had waited until the late hours, but there was still no news from Huang Yueqing.

At this moment of anxious waiting for everyone, a servant hurriedly rushed in and respectfully said to Xu Shenghua, “Family Head!”

“Guests have arrived from outside.

It’s the young mistress of the Hua family, Hua Qianwu, accompanied by Lu Chuan!”

Hearing this, Xu Shenghua’s steps halted, and he quickly turned back, “Really?

They’ve arrived?”

“Damn it, we were waiting for Elder Huang but ended up with these two instead.”

“What are they planning to do by coming here?”

Xu Shenghua asked.

The servant shook his head slightly, “I do not know.”

“Let them in,”

Xu Shenghua sighed helplessly.

The several family elders standing beside him felt their hearts hanging in suspense at this moment.

“Could the Hua family have spotted something and now they’re planning to make a move on us?”

Upon hearing this, Xu Shenghua said helplessly, “It’s not impossible, Bai Ye was found by us, and the Sky Martial Sect wants to cooperate with us; the Hua family is aware of this.

They’re certainly not fools; they must know what we’re up to.”

“Could it be that they’ve come to settle scores with us?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present began to feel uneasy, as if a calamity was impending.

However, Xu Shenghua merely chuckled in disbelief, “Now the Hua family is so busy trying to revive the Spirit Tree that they’re up to their ears in it.”

“How could they possibly spare the effort to deal with us?

And if they really wanted to make a move on us, would they just send these two over?

That would be underestimating our Xu family too much.”

“What the family head said makes sense.

If the Hua family really wanted to take action against us, they certainly would not have sent just these two young juniors; there must be some other reason.”

Xu Shenghua smiled proudly, “That’s right.

If he dares to make a move, he must first consider whether he has the strength to withstand the pressure from the entire Xu family!”

A few hundred people in the Xu family taking on two or three individuals?

That would be a walk in the park.”

Xu Shenghua smiled proudly.

At this moment, Hua Qianwu and Lu Chuan walked in, followed closely by Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang.

“Family Head Xu, I trust you’ve been well.”

After entering, Hua Qianwu said to Xu Shenghua.

“Miss Hua graces my humble dwelling, may I inquire the reason for your visit?”

Xu Shenghua looked at Hua Qianwu, revealing a faint smile.

“I am here to ask if you or anyone present knows anything about the Immortal’s Beard Herb?”

With a puzzled face, Xu Shenghua looked at the crowd and asked, “Does anyone know?”

The people shook their heads, “We do not know.”

They said in unison.

Even if they knew, they surely wouldn’t reveal it.

“You see?

Nobody knows; perhaps you should inquire elsewhere?”

Xu Shenghua said indifferently.

Hua Qianwu’s brows furrowed slightly; his impatient attitude made it quite clear that this man had long since disliked the idea of bowing down to the Hua family.

“If anyone knows the whereabouts of the Immortal’s Beard Herb, please be sure to let me know, as it is very useful to me.”

Xu Shenghua smiled, “Is it to save that Spirit Tree of your family?

Rest assured, we are unlikely to find it.”

He chuckled with a smug laugh, the sound brimming with self-satisfaction.

“I forgot to mention, the Immortal’s Beard Herb is the last ingredient we need; once found, the Spirit Tree can be revived.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Shenghua’s expression became serious; this was almost his last chance.

If he couldn’t prevent Hua Qianwu from finding the Immortal’s Beard Herb, then their Xu family would never see the light of day!
