665: Chapter 625: Uninvited Guest_1 665: Chapter 625: Uninvited Guest_1 Zhan Tianheng looked at Zhan Tianyu with a mix of suspicion and belief, asking, “Are you sure?”

“I can’t be sure now, I definitely need to let him take a look before coming to a conclusion.”

“No matter how I look at it, he doesn’t seem like a doctor.”

Zhan Tianheng disapproved, feeling that what Zhan Tianyu was saying was very unrealistic.

“Just wait and see, if there’s a chance, I’ll have him meet with our father.

If he notices anything amiss, he will surely lend a hand.

I know what kind of person he is, trust me,” Zhan Tianyu said.

Zhan Tianheng nodded helplessly, “Fine, since you speak so highly of him, I won’t pursue it any further.

Let him stay here for a few days.”

Zhan Tianyu let out a sigh of relief, then immediately turned and walked towards the guest rooms.

“Young Master Lu, how was breakfast?”

Lu Chuan looked up at him and asked, “Not bad, how did your talk go?

Did he agree to let us stay?”

“Of course, he agreed.

It was just a casual remark, don’t take it seriously.”

“Lu Chuan, how about I show you around the mansion after breakfast?”

He suggested.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “No problem, I have nothing else to do at the moment anyway.

However, you need to help me investigate the specific situation of the Lu family in Dubhe City.”

Zhan Tianyu quickly nodded, “No problem, leave that to me.

You can completely relax.”

Right after, Zhan Tianyu walked towards the door.

Just as he stepped out of the main entrance, he saw a servant rushing over, standing in front of Zhan Tianheng.

“My lord, a noble guest has arrived!”

“Just tell me who it is directly.”

“It’s the Family Head of the Zhu family from Dubhe City, Zhu Qingcheng!”

Zhan Tianheng narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, “What is his purpose for visiting?”

“He didn’t say explicitly, just mentioned he wanted to see you.”

“Alright, I’ll go over and see what they’re up to!”

Since the Zhan family didn’t have much interaction with the Zhu family, he was very curious about the purpose of their visit this time.

Thus, he stepped out of the main entrance of the courtyard.

At that moment, Zhan Tianyu quickly followed and called out to him.

“Big brother, wait up!”

Zhan Tianyu was also very curious; he too wanted to know why the Zhu family was visiting.

But his intuition told him that the visit from Zhu Family Patriarch Zhu Qingcheng might be related to the events of the previous evening.

It must have been something Zhu Zhengjiang spoke of after returning home that made Zhu Qingcheng come directly to the mansion with his entourage.

Zhan Tianheng turned to look at Zhan Tianyu and asked, “Third brother, is there something else you want to say?”

“I want to go with you to meet Zhu Qingcheng.”

“No problem, let’s go, we’ll head to the Council Hall together.”

Zhan Tianheng cheerfully agreed, so the two of them walked along the small path inside the mansion towards the Council Hall.

In the Council Hall, Zhu Qingcheng and his son Zhu Zhengjiang had already been waiting for a long time, feeling very anxious.

“Are you sure Lu Chuan is staying at the Zhan family mansion?”

Zhu Qingcheng asked.

“It’s absolutely true; if everything goes as expected, he should be staying here.”

“Can you or can you not make yourself clear?

Do you know for certain or not?”

Zhu Zhengjiang scratched his head and said, “When they arrive later, shouldn’t we just ask to find out?”

At that moment, on the path outside the Council Hall, Zhan Tianyu, following by Zhan Tianheng’s side, said, “Big brother, these two people might have come for Lu Chuan.”

Zhan Tianheng turned back, looked at Zhan Tianyu, and let out a disdainful laugh.

“Third brother, don’t talk nonsense.

In the entire Dubhe City, the people who can get the Zhu Family Patriarch to take notice are certainly no ordinary individuals.”

“Usually, you can’t just ask this Zhu Family Patriarch to personally visit someone.”

Zhan Tianheng frowned and speculated, “Maybe they came to propose a marriage for his son.

Our two families aren’t that close, so forging a marital alliance to strengthen family ties would be a good choice.”

Soon after, Zhan Tianheng’s face grew worried, “However, I’ve heard that his youngest son, Zhu Zhengjiang, is far from a gentleman—sly and cunning, a bully to the weak yet a coward before the strong.

If they indeed came to propose marriage, who should we send over?”

As he grew concerned, he suddenly realized he had reached the doorway without thinking of a suitable candidate.

He took a deep breath and then entered the Council Hall.

Upon seeing Zhan Tianheng come in, Zhu Qingcheng, the Zhu Family Patriarch, hurried to his feet to welcome him.

“Tianheng, I’m so glad to see you.

I’ve long heard of your impressive demeanor and extraordinary appearance.

Seeing you today, indeed, that’s the case.

And this Zhan Tianyu following you clearly comes from the same noble lineage, both of you are truly talented individuals!”

He approached with a radiant smile, lavishing praise upon the two men, clearly indicating his purpose for this visit.

Zhan Tianheng was a bit flustered, and for a moment didn’t know what to say.

He was quite surprised by the humble demeanor of the Zhu Family Patriarch, which was completely at odds with the air expected from Dubhe City’s wealthiest man!

“Patriarch Zhu is too kind.

What brings you to visit us today?”

He went straight to the point, asking about his intentions.

Zhan Tianheng was still curious about Zhu Qingcheng’s motives, which surely couldn’t just be for establishing a family alliance given his attitude.

He must be seeking something from them, which was why he spoke so.

Zhu Qingcheng scratched his head, smiling awkwardly, “I’m looking to inquire about a person.”

Zhan Tianheng quickly said, “No problem, just ask away.

Our Zhan family has a wide network within Dubhe City, and we have comprehensive information coverage.

We’re aware of many matters.”

“Alright then, I want to ask, do you know this person named Lu Chuan?”

Zhu Qingcheng then turned to Zhan Tianyu, “He’s the one you brought into the city last night.

Is he here now?”

At these words, Zhan Tianheng was momentarily stunned, “Patriarch Zhu, why do you ask about him?”

Zhan Tianyu looked toward Zhu Zhengjiang and asked, “Why do you spread everything you hear?”

Zhu Zhengjiang hastily retorted, “I told my father—is that what you call spreading it?

So what if we know?

Why the urgency?”

Zhan Tianheng, still puzzled, asked, “What business do you have with him?

He indeed stayed at our Zhan mansion, but only for one night.”

“Tianheng, do you know who our Zhu family’s biggest business partner is at the moment?”

Zhan Tianheng shook his head slightly, “How would I be aware of your family affairs?”

“It’s the Hua family from Flower City.

Their family Spirit Tree has revived, and the Spiritual Energy has reached an unprecedented level of abundance.

The vast fields of flowers nearby are all set to enjoy a bumper harvest.”

“They will provide us with the highest quality of alchemy material, indispensable for any clan.”

“At least in the business of alchemy, the Hua family has become the biggest business partner within our clan.”

Zhan Tianheng still did not understand and asked, “How does this concern us?”

“It has no relevance to you, but with Lu Chuan, the connection is significant!”

Zhan Tianheng’s brow furrowed deeply, and he asked, “Would you please clarify how exactly he is most connected to this matter?”

“The Hua family’s spirit tree, which was on the brink of decline, was revived by his very hands.

So tell me, is that connection large or small?”
