671: Chapter 631 The Only Hope_1 671: Chapter 631 The Only Hope_1 In the room, Zhan Tianheng’s face became extremely ugly.

He paced back and forth in the house, glancing occasionally at his sick father on the bed, his brows further knitting together.

After a long while, he let out a heavy sigh.

“Do you think that other than Lu Chuan, there’s really no one else who can save our father?”

He looked at Zhan Tianyu with a face full of hope, wishing for an alternative answer.

Zhan Tianyu sighed, “Big brother, there are countless extraordinary people in the Kunlun Domain.

If we really start searching, we can definitely find a master who can bring our father back from the brink of death.”

“But you must realize, we only have one day left.

All those years we couldn’t find anyone, and now, in just one day, can we find someone?”

“No matter what, right now there’s only one option, and that’s to find Lu Chuan and have him save our father.”

“Otherwise, prepare for the aftermath.

Notify all members of the Zhan family, tell them our Family Head is going to pass away tonight, and have everyone ready themselves mentally.”

Upon hearing this, Zhan Tianheng’s heart sank; he seemed to know that he had no other choice.

“It seems we have no choice but to ask Lu Chuan for help, right?”

Zhan Tianyu shook his head slightly, “Not us, but you!”

“He was the one you brought in.”

Zhan Tianyu continued, “Yes, I went to great lengths to bring him to our Zhan family in Dubhe City, but remember, it wasn’t I who offended him, you understand?”

“I’ve done all I could; the rest is up to you!”

“And just a reminder, he has almost no rivals here in Dubhe City.”

“His strength is definitely above mine.

As for whether he’s stronger than you, I can’t say for sure.

However, if you’re going to ask for his help, you’ll have to humble yourself and earnestly implore him.”

Zhan Tianheng’s face twisted slightly; within the Zhan family, he was a respected figure.

Being asked to lose face by begging a younger member from another clan was somewhat hard to stomach.

But the life and death of his father were in his hands now.

If he still cared about his own pride at this moment, it would be an unforgivable act of disrespect.

It was then that Zhan Jiaojiao stepped forward, with the rest of the Zhan family behind her looking very somber, their heads bowed low.

After stepping forth, Zhan Jiaojiao called out loud, “Uncle, since this trouble was caused by me, let me handle it.

I’ll go and plead with him!”

Having said that, she took strides towards the main gate.

“Are you sure you can handle it?”

Zhan Jiaojiao declared with confidence, “Of course, leave it to me!”

Immediately after, she left the room and headed towards the guest quarters of the Zhan family estate.

At this moment, Lu Yu had already returned to the courtyard and saw Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang sitting by the stone table in the yard, chatting.

“So, how did it go?

Didn’t you go to look for a Spirit Pill for your breakthrough?

Any luck?”

Lu Chuan sat down, saying helplessly, “Don’t even mention it, not only did I not find the Spirit Pill, but I also stirred up a whole lot of trouble.”

“What happened?

Did you cross someone from the Zhan family?”

Gu Xiaorou quickly asked, her voice tense with concern.

“It’s not that serious.

However, the Zhan family Head is gravely ill, and they had summoned a doctor to treat him.”

“Guess how that doctor treated the illness?”

Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang both leaned in curiously.

“That bastard actually released an evil spirit, intending for it to possess the body of the Zhan family Head, all to achieve a cure.”

“By doing so, not only would he have ‘cured’ the Zhan family head’s serious illness, he’d also have helped the evil spirit find an excellent host!”

“This bastard, he’s been making a killing from both sides.”

Gu Xiaorou said in surprise, “This guy’s heart is too dark, right?

Is this something a normal person would do?”

“So did you beat that guy up?” Gu Xiaosang curiously looked at Lu Chuan.

“I definitely couldn’t do it right there and then, otherwise the Zhan family’s people would’ve come after me.”

“However, I did expose that swindler’s lies, though it caused some unpleasantness in the process.”

“Now, that swindler is dead, but the condition of the head of the Zhan family has gotten even more severe; he probably won’t make it through tonight.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaorou’s expression suddenly turned solemn, “The head of the Zhan family is going to die tonight?”

“If nothing unexpected happens, he should be dead.”

“And what if something unexpected does happen?” Gu Xiaosang continued to ask.

“Then that would mean I intervened to cure his serious illness and saved his old life,” Lu Chuan replied.

Gu Xiaorou went on to ask, “Really?

So do you plan to help them?”

Lu Chuan shook his head slightly, “That bastard Zhan Tianheng, he has repeatedly looked down on me, thinking I’m just here to cause trouble; how could I possibly lend them a hand!”

“Forget it, I can’t be bothered with their affairs now.

I’ll see if I have time to visit the Zhu family later.

They’re the richest in Dubhe City; they’re sure to have Spirit Pills that can be used.”

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, Gu Xiaorou helplessly nodded her head, “Then we’ll have to go to them.”

Gu Xiaosang chuckled happily, “I’m afraid you’ll have new troubles finding you soon.”

“What?”

Lu Chuan asked, looking at her.

“The people from the Zhan family will definitely try to plead with you, and I suspect they’ll pester you relentlessly.”

Lu Chuan scoffed, “Then I’ll tell them to piss off.

If they dare to bother me, we’ll just move out and not stay here.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaosang shouted triumphantly, “That would be great!

I’ve long wanted to move away from here, these Zhan family people are so exclusionary, and it’s uncomfortable living here!”

As the three were talking, a petite figure slowly walked in at the doorway.

Zhan Jiaojiao walked in with caution, her eyes filled with apology as she looked at Lu Chuan.

Gu Xiaosang looked at Lu Chuan and said, “See, I told you they would come.

It’s exactly as I said.”

Lu Chuan turned his head and looked at Zhan Jiaojiao, and from her tentative and nervous demeanor, he knew why she had come.

In his heart, Lu Chuan cursed, “That bastard Zhan Tianheng isn’t a man at all, to actually send a little girl to do his bidding.

Is his face really that precious?”

Zhan Jiaojiao walked over and stood in front of Lu Chuan, smiling awkwardly.

“Young Master Lu, are you angry?” she asked.

Lu Chuan spread his hands and said, “Not at all, why would I be angry?”

“Even if I were to get angry, there’s no need to get angry with you.

I don’t care about what you think of me.”

Zhan Jiaojiao swallowed nervously and said, “I’ll just say it straight, the situation earlier, it was really not right on our part, I am here to formally apologize to you!”

“Young Master Lu, I beg you to save my grandfather, he’s about to die, he surely won’t make it through the night,” she said, her eyes beginning to fill with tears.

To this, Lu Chuan showed no interest.

“Hmm, I see.

But I have no intention of doing that, so you might as well leave,” he responded.

Zhan Jiaojiao immediately panicked, “I’ll do whatever you want, I’ll kneel down, kowtow to you, even become your concubine, anything is fine as long as you’re willing!”
