Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 635 - 635 595 The Ball_1

635: Chapter 595: The Ball_1 635: Chapter 595: The Ball_1 Lu Chuan and his companions, barred from entry, had no choice but to head back to their mansion.

They weren’t qualified to enter the City Lord’s Mansion, no matter how much they lingered it would be futile.

Lu Chuan and the others could only retrace their steps, returning to the Hua Family Manor.

Before entering the front courtyard of the Hua Residence, Lu Chuan and his group ran into Hua Tao.

Hua Tao was in a hurry to leave for some errands, and happened to encounter Lu Chuan.

“Young Master Lu has returned, how did it go, what’s the situation with the Xu family now?”

Hua Tao stepped forward with a look of anticipation at Lu Chuan.

“When I went there, I said I was going to wipe out the Xu family.”

Hua Tao looked at Lu Chuan with some surprise, “You…

you really did it?

The hundreds of members of the Xu family?

They all died by your hand?”

Lu Chuan shook his head slightly, “How could that be, with so many people in the Xu family, if I really had to kill them one by one, I’m afraid it would take a whole day and night.”

“Besides, I don’t want to needlessly involve innocent people.

I killed the Family Head of the Xu family, Xu Shenghua, including those three elder-level figures.

They essentially represent the core of the Xu family.

As long as they were killed, the Xu family would be essentially existing in name only.”

“What about the remaining people?

How were they dealt with?”

Hua Tao still asked curiously.

“I placed Xu Lingyun in the position of Family Head, and now the Xu family is under her control.”

“Xu Lingyun…”

Hua Tao lowered his head in thought, “I remember her, she, like you, came from the secular world, virtually arriving at the same time as you.”

“It seems that you two had some interactions in the secular world.

But since you’ve promoted her to Family Head, you two must have no issues anymore.”

Lu Chuan just smiled faintly, “She’s merely obsessed with martial arts, desperate to learn regardless of everything else.

Her talent is indeed impressive, and she’s not a bad person.

I’m not someone to hold petty grudges.”

“You’ve spoken well there, Xu Lingyun truly is a Martial Path genius.

She managed to reach the Martial King Realm at such a young age even in the environment of the secular world – that’s indeed extraordinary.”

Lu Chuan cleared his throat and spoke earnestly, “Hua Family Head, I’ve come to you to discuss something.”

“Just say it, whatever I can help with, I definitely will.”

Hua Tao said magnanimously.

“We’ve located the whereabouts of the final ingredient, but we’re unable to get it for the time being.”

Hua Tao frowned slightly, “You’ve already found the last ingredient so quickly?”

“That’s right, I got it out of Xu Shenghua’s mouth.

The final ingredient, Immortal’s Beard Herb, is in the hands of Yang Xun’s daughter, Yang Menghuan.”

Hua Tao was somewhat surprised, “In her hands.”

“That’s right, but we can’t even meet her, so we have no way to obtain the material.”

Hua Tao suddenly remembered something, “In a little over a week, it’s the day Yang Menghuan is performing.

She’ll be showcasing her dance on the stage in Wanhua Garden.

At that time, there might be a chance to make contact with her.”

“Apart from that opportunity, you have basically no chance to see her.

She spends every day indoors, and no one in the city has ever seen her figure.

If it weren’t for the promotional fanfare before the show, many people might forget about her.”

“However, unfortunately, when they invited me, they only gave me one spot, which means only I can go to watch.”

Hua Tao quickly added, “I’m afraid I can’t just give my spot to you; I don’t have the power to do that.”

Lu Chuan frowned, asking curiously, “You don’t have the power?

Does someone else have that power then?”

“Of course, some people who are invited can bring three or four guests with them, allowed to bring whoever they want.”

Lu Chuan fell into thought; even Hua Tao, who could be considered a significant and respected figure in Flower City, only had one spot.

Then those who can bring three or four spots on their own must be important figures from other places.

“Do you know who some of these people are?”

After a long contemplation, Hua Tao said, “I know one person, his name is Zhan Tianyu.”

“He comes from Dubhe City and is a member of the Zhan clan.

Their clan runs the largest martial arts gymnasium in Dubhe City.

Their family’s power is quite formidable, ranking among the top in the entire city.”

“This Zhan Tianyu should be arriving in Flower City soon.

Once he does, I’ll visit him to see if I can get a spot.”

Hua Tao sighed helplessly, “However, the chances might be slim…”

“By the way, Young Master Lu, are you sure that as long as you meet Yang Menghuan, you will be able to get the Immortal’s Beard Herb?”

This question stumped Lu Chuan, for he really couldn’t guarantee it with absolute certainty.

But it was certainly better than not being able to meet at all.

“If that Zhan Tianyu arrives in Flower City, please let me know, for I must meet him in person.”

“No problem, it’s really troublesome for you, running around for our family’s Spirit Tree.”

“It’s a minor issue, a minor issue…”

Afterward, Hua Tao hurriedly left the Hua Residence.

“It seems that getting this last material will take quite a bit of effort.”

Gu Xiaorou sighed, then turned to Hua Qianwu and said, “No matter what, we will help your family revive the Spirit Tree.”

Hua Qianwu looked at Gu Xiaorou, grasped her right hand with both of hers, and spoke softly, “Thank you for your help.

From now on, whether it’s in Flower City or in Carefree City, our Hua family will take care of your Gu family.”

Gu Xiaorou was very happy to hear that.

With the help of the Hua family, the Gu family could fully expand its power again, and it wasn’t impossible to even establish a family branch in Flower City.

Afterward, they had dinner and then went to rest.

During the night, Lu Chuan continued to practice the Supreme Phantom Dodge in the courtyard, hoping to master this martial arts skill as soon as possible.

For the following days, Lu Chuan was practicing the Supreme Phantom Dodge.

Apart from eating and sleeping, he was mostly dedicated to perfecting his movement technique.

Gu Xiaorou was also diligently practicing her Swordsmanship, and with Hua Qianwu’s help, she was improving at a rapid pace.

As the preeminent family of Flower City, the Hua family had an abundance of resources, particularly the elixir pills that aided in cultivation, which Gu Xiaorou couldn’t possibly use up all.

In just a few days, Gu Xiaorou had reached the peak of the Saint Realm and was just one opportunity away from breaking through to the Martial King Realm.

One day, while Lu Chuan was practicing his movement technique in the courtyard, Hua Tao came hurrying over.

“Young Master Lu, I’ve just received news.

Zhan Tianyu has arrived in Flower City.

I’ve spoken with him; he’s willing to meet you.”

Lu Chuan paused his steps and stood still, looking at Hua Tao.

“What about Yang Xun?

Does he still refuse to let me meet Yang Menghuan?”

Hua Tao sighed helplessly, “No matter what I say, he won’t agree.

In his words, seeing her in advance would break the sense of mystery.”

“Is it that serious?

Could it be that she can’t be seen by others?”

Lu Chuan asked.

“I don’t know.

Let’s wait until the day of the performance.

You’ll see her then, and you can discuss the matter of the Immortal’s Beard Herb.”

“I’m just afraid she might use the Immortal’s Beard Herb before then.”

Lu Chuan sighed with a hint of worry.
