Zhan Tianyu hastened to explain, “Big brother, this is Lu Chuan, and he is no ordinary person.”

Zhan Tianyu’s elder brother, Zhan Tianheng, shook his head and said, “Many people are not ordinary people, do we have to stuff them all into our house?”

Zhan Jiaojiao immediately agreed, “That’s right, what Uncle said is correct, we can’t just bring anyone back, and besides, there are so many of them.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaosang felt extremely annoyed and said, “Since you don’t welcome us, then we’ll just leave!

There are plenty of places that would welcome us!”

She spoke in a huff and then looked at Lu Chuan, saying, “Let’s go!”

Gu Xiaorou, however, pulled her back, “What’s the rush?

Let Lu Chuan handle this.”

Then, Lu Chuan looked at Zhan Tianyu and asked, “Otherwise, shall I go over to the Zhu family and see?”

Zhan Tianyu panicked and quickly said, “There’s no need, we’ve already agreed in advance, it would be improper to trouble you further.”

He turned to Zhan Tianheng, speaking earnestly, “Big brother, no matter what, he must stay in our residence today!”

“Why?”

Zhan Tianheng asked just as seriously in return.

Zhan Tianyu was suddenly at a loss for words.

Should he say that Lu Chuan is a great fighter, has a special flame ability, and can save the Spirit Tree?

Even after saying all that, it seemed it wouldn’t make these people realize the importance.

“Do you all know about the third son of the Zhu family, Zhu Zhengjiang?”

Zhan Tianheng and the others nodded, “Of course, who in Dubhe City doesn’t know his name?”

Zhan Tianyu continued, “Right after we arrived in Dubhe City, when Zhu Zhengjiang had recognized Lu Chuan, he has been pleading with him to visit the Zhu family residence.”

“His attitude was so earnest, he almost knelt down for him.

If I hadn’t been there, he might have actually knelt.”

After Zhan Tianyu finished, Zhan Tianheng frowned, “Tianyu, you’re not someone who likes to bluff people!”

“I’m not bluffing you all, everything I said is true!”

Zhan Tianyu said very seriously.

Zhan Tianheng sized up Lu Chuan, and though he appeared distinguished, he couldn’t see any extraordinary qualities in him.

“Are you sure what you’re saying is true?”

“Absolutely certain!”

“Fine, then I’ll go to the Zhu family tomorrow to see for myself whether what you said is true.

For tonight, they can stay.”

Then, Zhan Tianheng turned to the other core members of the Zhan family, reminding them, “Be vigilant tonight when sleeping, and lock your doors.”

Having said this, Zhan Tianheng turned and left.

Hearing his words, Gu Xiaosang was even more angered.

“What does that mean?

Are you treating us like thieves?”

Zhan Tianyu quickly explained, “Don’t be angry, he is just like that, very cautious.”

Lu Chuan looked at Zhan Tianyu and said, “It seems that your family members don’t like us very much.”

“Not at all, they are just slow to warm up to people they aren’t familiar with.”

Zhan Tianyu scratched his head awkwardly, “Let me arrange a guest room for you, and I will go and explain things properly to them in the morning.”

“How about this, let your big brother Zhan Tianheng spar with me, and then he will naturally understand some things.”

“That…

let’s not, in case he loses his temper, and it harms our good relationship.”

Zhan Tianyu knew his brother cared about his reputation.

If a younger man beat him bloody, he would certainly feel he had lost face and get angry.

“Come on, the guest rooms are this way.”

Lu Chuan and the others followed Zhan Tianyu, walking in the spacious courtyard of the Zhan family.

“You’ve all had a hard day, rest well tonight, and I’ll take you to tour Dubhe City in the morning.”

“There’s no need, give me the exact location of the Lu family tomorrow, I’ll find time to go and settle accounts with them.”

Lu Chuan didn’t want to be distracted by other matters, his goal was very clear.

“Alright, we’ll talk about it tomorrow then.”

After showing them into the guest rooms, Zhan Tianyu let out a relieved sigh, feeling utterly exhausted.

…

Early the next morning, Lu Chuan and his companions rose early.

The maid of the Zhan family placed breakfast on the dining table in the guest room.

There were a total of two rooms in the guest quarters, with Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang sharing one room, and Lu Chuan in another by himself.

After getting up in the morning, Lu Chuan first sat on the bed and meditated for two hours before leaving the room for breakfast.

Nourished by the spiritual energy of the Divine Tree branch, Lu Chuan was not far from breaking through to the Ninth Grade of the Nascent Soul Realm.

“The breakfast is quite good,” he said.

Lu Chuan sat at the dining table, which was filled with dishes of ten different flavors.

Before starting to eat, Gu Xiaosang took out a silver needle to test for poison and said, “These people still suspect us of having bad intentions, yet I’m the one who suspects that they are plotting something in secret!”

After confirming that the food was not poisoned, she sat down to eat.

“Are you still holding a grudge over last night’s incident?” Gu Xiaorou asked.

“Of course, I can’t stand these pretentious people!”

“After breakfast, feel free to stroll around the yard.

I’ll go find Zhan Tianyu to inquire about the Lu family’s situation,” Lu Chuan said as he continued eating.

“No problem, but be careful, there are quite a few people in this city keeping an eye on you,” Gu Xiaorou reminded him.

“Let them do as they please, I’m not afraid of them.

Once I’ve completed my breakthrough, I won’t fear a single person in Dubhe City!”

“What if they gang up on you?” Gu Xiaorou asked.

“My Divine Fire is not just for show.”

Lu Chuan now had plenty of confidence.

Whether he faced enemies in single combat or a group attack, he was completely unafraid.

After they finished breakfast, Zhan Tianyu hurriedly walked in.

“Lu Chuan, I’ve found the Lu family’s branch here in Dubhe City, it’s in the South City District,” he said.

“This is the exact location, are you going to look for them?” He came over and spread a map on the table, marking the precise location of the Lu family.

“I will go to them,” Lu Chuan affirmed.

“That’s good, I support you in this, rest assured!”

Just then, Zhan Tianheng also walked in, and after entering, he looked at Lu Chuan and the others.

“How long do you few plan to stay?” he inquired.

Zhan Tianyu, turning around, said speechless, “Big brother, what are you doing here?

They can stay as long as they like.”

“That won’t do.

Our Zhan family is not an inn; you can’t just stay as long as you wish!” he said arrogantly.

Lu Chuan replied with a light smile, “Don’t worry, we won’t stay too long.”

“That’s better,” Zhan Tianheng responded with a slight nod.

Zhan Tianyu promptly pulled him out and asked, standing still, “What are you doing here asking these questions if you have nothing better to do?”

“I don’t want outsiders latching onto our family.

Is there a problem with that?

As the eldest brother, I have that responsibility.”

“Do you know why I brought him back here?”

Zhan Tianheng asked, “Of course not, tell me about it.”

“Father has been plagued by an incurable illness for many years, and after consulting every Divine Doctor in Dubhe City, none were able to cure him.”

“The Lu Chuan I’ve brought back this time has amazing abilities; he might very well be able to cure our father’s disease!”

“Are you certain?”

Zhan Tianyu said with utmost seriousness, “Of course, I am!

Absolutely certain!”
