713: Chapter 673: Trouble for the Lu Family_1 713: Chapter 673: Trouble for the Lu Family_1 After arriving in the courtyard, Lu Chuan immediately saw the figure of Ahn Xuwu.

He stood alone in place, with all his followers left outside.

He looked at Lu Chuan, his face revealing a kind smile.

Upon seeing this, Lu Chuan felt somewhat strange.

It was said that there’s a demon when things are abnormal, this fellow actually came to find him with a smile, the matter to discuss was definitely not simple.

Lu Chuan walked towards Ahn Xuwu.

“Sect Leader Ahn, you came in such a hurry to find me, what is it for?”

Lu Chuan asked as he looked at him.

Ahn Xuwu chuckled and then sat down on a chair beside him.

“Let’s talk slowly.”

Lu Chuan didn’t say much either and pulled out a chair to sit down.

Ahn Xuwu looked at Zhan Guliu and said, “Could I trouble you to leave us for a moment?”

Zhan Guliu responded coldly, “This is Zhan Residence, you’re asking me to leave?”

Ahn Xuwu sighed somewhat helplessly, “I want to discuss some matters with Young Master Lu, temporarily it cannot be known by others, but if he agrees after listening, he will definitely tell you, then you will naturally know.”

“Just leave temporarily, please.”

Seeing his reasonable attitude, Zhan Guliu didn’t make a further issue of it, turned around and left the place.

“Young Master Lu, if you encounter any trouble, feel free to find me, this is Zhan Residence, outsiders cannot show off their power here!”

Before leaving, Zhan Guliu left these words, and Lu Chuan responded with a smile, “Rest assured, Old Master Zhan.”

These words, in actuality, were meant for Ahn Xuwu to hear, letting him understand that inside Zhan Residence, he should not harbor any crooked ideas, and to properly discuss matters if there was something to talk about.

Ahn Xuwu looked at Lu Chuan and took a deep breath, his expression turning solemn.

“Whatever you want to say, just say it directly.”

Ahn Xuwu nodded slightly and then spoke, “Do you know why the Lu family has been silent for so long?”

“I don’t know, and I’d be damned if I did.”

“It’s like this, they currently don’t have the means to deal with you, which is to say, the Lu family now lacks spare powerhouses to take care of this matter.”

“They are currently in conflict with another aristocratic family from the Kunlun Domain.”

“This family is not well-known, and belongs to the hidden families, having lain low in the Kunlun Domain for over a decade, giving them the chance to make a comeback.”

“Should they succeed, they would dethrone the Lu family’s dominant position, and a massive change would occur within the ruling layer of the entire Kunlun Domain.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Then I roughly understand, the Lu family itself is hard pressed, so they temporarily don’t plan to make a move on me.”

“Correct, but as to who will win or lose between these two families, that is still uncertain.”

“You might as well just tell me, what is the name of that family contending with the Lu family?”

Ahn Xuwu nodded slightly, “No problem, this family is the Dongfang family.”

“All family members bear the Dongfang surname, and they were once considered a top ten powerful family within the Kunlun Domain.”

“However, they did not submit to the Lu family’s governance and were beaten into decline early on.”

“Therefore, they started to lay low in the surrounding regions, waiting for the right moment to strike.”

Ahn Xuwu looked solemnly at Lu Chuan and then said, “So, you should understand why I came to find you now, right?”

Lu Chuan shook his head slightly, “You might as well just tell me directly, do you mean to help the Lu family or the Dongfang family?”

“Of course, I stand with the Dongfang family.

You are the Lu family’s nemesis.

If I were here to trouble you, that would mean I’m siding with the Lu family.”

Lu Chuan realized with sudden clarity, immediately understanding the purpose of this person’s visit.

“You’ve got quite the nerve, are you proposing to discuss how to overturn the Lu family with me?”

Ahn Xuwu gave a sheepish smile, “You can understand it that way.”

He picked up the teapot and poured Lu Chuan a cup of tea.

“You shouldn’t have a reason to refuse, an extra helper is an extra hope.”

“The strength of the Lu family is not something you can contend with alone.”

“Although you are very strong, so strong that it is frightening and makes people apprehensive, after all, the Lu family is a colossal entity; trying to fight this family with just your own strength is akin to a fool’s dream.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I agree with you there, so what are you suggesting?”

“You can come to our Sky Martial Sect first, and then make contact with the people of the Dongfang family, and naturally, you will understand the extent of the conflict between the two families.”

Lu Chuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, “So it turns out that this is why you came to see me.”

“I killed so many people from your sect; don’t you hate me?”

Ahn Xuwu let out a bitter laugh, “What can hating or not hating do?

If I were to fight with you, the outcome would be uncertain, and the losses would still be huge.”

“If you could come back to Sky Martial Sect with me, and we together help the Dongfang family achieve this great endeavor and change the upper echelon landscape of the Kunlun Domain, then what would the loss of two elders from my sect amount to?”

“By then, my Sky Martial Sect could also step into the top ten Martial Path sects in the Kunlun Domain.”

“The grand vision I am looking forward to cannot be blinded by the hatreds of the moment.”

“Furthermore, as long as the Sky Martial Sect continues its triumphant advance, the vacant elder positions will naturally attract strong people to fill them.”

Ahn Xuwu smiled faintly, “If you are willing, you could take up the position of an elder, too, which wouldn’t be a bad idea.”

Lu Chuan waved his hand with a smile, “Let’s forget about that for now.

However, your proposal is not bad; I could consider making a trip to your Sky Martial Sect.”

“Ahn Xuwu, just don’t have any trap like a Red Cliffs Banquet waiting for me when I get there.”

Ahn Xuwu hurriedly assumed a serious demeanor, “Young Master Lu, you really are overthinking it.

Rest assured, if you don’t wish to meet inside the Sky Martial Sect, we could meet at the foot of the mountain; I have absolutely no ulterior motives!”

He raised his hand and swore with a solemn expression.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “No problem, I can make the trip with you.”

Excitement immediately appeared on Ahn Xuwu’s face.

“Then…

shall we set off now?”

“No problem, I’ll just let someone know.”

Lu Chuan stood up and returned to his room, while Ahn Xuwu sat quietly in the courtyard, waiting.

After Lu Chuan returned to his room, Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang hurried over.

“How did it go, what did that person come to say?”

Gu Xiaorou asked curiously.

“He didn’t come to cause trouble; in fact, he came to propose a collaboration with me.”

Gu Xiaorou was immediately surprised and quickly asked, “Collaborate?

What does he want to collaborate with you on?”

“It can’t be, this must be a trap, right?

Why would he want to collaborate with you?”

Gu Xiaosang asked, very puzzled.

Lu Chuan shrugged helplessly, “It’s about the Lu family; there’s a newly emerging family that’s contending with the Lu family for status.”

“And the Sky Martial Sect wants to lend this family a helping hand, so that when the landscape of the Kunlun Domain goes through a significant change, they can take advantage of the chaos to reap benefits.”

“So, the enemy of my enemy is a friend—that’s why he came to invite me to cooperate.”

“After all, if this matter succeeds, what they stand to gain in the Sky Martial Sect is much more than the so-called loss of two elders.”

“Given enough strength and status, there’ll be plenty of strong contenders for the positions of Second Elder and Third Elder.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaorou suddenly realized, “I see, no wonder they want to discuss collaboration with you…”
