Chapter 806 - 806 766 Internal Conflict in the Mansion

806: Chapter 766: Internal Conflict in the Mansion 806: Chapter 766: Internal Conflict in the Mansion Lu Chuan rose to his feet, no longer intending to waste another word on Dongfang Lian.

After he stood up, he walked toward the manor’s main gate.

Dongfang Lian, watching Lu Chuan’s retreating figure, said, “Continuing this fight will result in no positive outcome, the end will only be a lose-lose situation.”

Lu Chuan turned his head to give her a look, said helplessly, “You should go back, please.

I have nothing to talk about with you.

Dongfang Cheng’s current reluctance to deal with you is the right decision.”

Lu Chuan entered the room, and upon seeing this, Dongfang Lian sighed in disappointment and then turned to leave.

After returning to his room, Lu Chuan had dinner and then went straight to rest.

Deep into the night.

The night had fallen, and the bustling Forest City gradually quieted down.

There wasn’t a single figure on the streets, only a few lanterns emitting a faint glow.

On the main street, a few shadows could occasionally be seen moving swiftly.

As for who they were, no one knew for the time being.

The next morning, Lu Chuan got up early for breakfast.

Arriving in the courtyard, Dongfang Cheng had already been waiting there for quite a while.

Looking towards Lu Chuan, he smiled faintly, “Young Master Lu, let’s go have breakfast.

It was all very rushed last night, and I didn’t prepare any grand feast to welcome you, so I must ask for your understanding.”

“A simple meal will do.

There’s no need for any grand feast; we’re all acquainted.”

Lu Chuan walked over with a smile.

Then, Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang came over.

Gu Xiaosang ran over excitedly and quickly asked, “A grand feast?

What grand feast?

Where is it?”

“Let’s go to the dining room.

A sumptuous breakfast is prepared there, all delicious foods, and I guarantee you’ll be satisfied.”

Gu Xiaosang’s eyes suddenly sparkled, “Really?

That’s great!

Let’s head out now!”

Soon after, the group made their way to the dining room, pushed open the door, and saw many servants arranging various dishes on the tables.

The large round table could accommodate twenty to thirty people seated at once.

The table full of exquisite delicacies dazzled the eyes of Gu Xiaosang.

Gu Xiaorou spoke with some embarrassment, “Eating so much in the morning, we won’t finish it, right?”

“No worries, just have a bit of everything.

The main point is to taste the local flavors.

It doesn’t matter if we can’t finish.”

Dongfang Cheng pulled out the chairs, and the three from the Lu clan took their seats in turn.

Sitting at the head of the table, Dongfang Changzhi looked at the three guests from the Lu family with a warm and pleased expression.

“Young Master Lu is our distinguished guest at the Dongfang Residence.

We must offer the highest level of hospitality.

Today, all the core members of the Dongfang family will be present in turn.

Let’s take this opportunity to get acquainted.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly with a smile, “Surely.

From now on, we’re friends and will also stand side by side in battle, against the Lu family.

We need to get to know each other well.”

At that moment, Dongfang Lian entered and took a seat.

She looked at Dongfang Cheng and asked, “Brother, what are you planning to do now that you’re back?”

Dongfang Cheng was slightly surprised that Dongfang Lian would take the initiative to speak to him.

“What I plan on doing since I’m back, how does that concern you much?”

“How can it not concern me?

I’m your sister.

Don’t I even have the right to know that much?”

Her eyes intensely fixed on Dongfang Cheng.

Dongfang Cheng could not help but smile helplessly, “It doesn’t matter, there’s no harm in telling you.”

“Our visit this time is to give the Lu family a bit of a lesson, and incidentally, the City Lord of Forest City isn’t being very honest either.

Depending on the situation, we might also take action against him.”

He spoke in a calm tone, even though these were not his thoughts, nor within his ability to achieve, but within the environment of the Dongfang Residence, his words carried more weight than even Lu Chuan’s.

The crowd was stunned upon hearing Dongfang Cheng’s words.

Dongfang Cheng’s pronouncement left them all in disbelief, with some even thinking that Dongfang Cheng must be crazy.

“Dongfang Cheng, what did you just say?

I didn’t mishear you, right?”

“The City Lord of Forest City isn’t being honest?

And you’re going to take him on?

Aren’t you being a bit too bold?”

“Dongfang Cheng, no offense, but have you been out and about for so long that you’ve forgotten the layout of Forest City?”

“Forest City Lord Wan Changdong, do you have any idea of his strength, his status?

You can’t be unaware, can you?”

“He has dozens of warriors at the Martial Emperor Realm under his command.

Such a powerful force is not something we can provoke!”

“To think of overthrowing Forest City Lord would require the core forces of the Dongfang family to come forth, otherwise, just with the people we have here, how could we possibly be a match?”

Dongfang Changzhi looked at Lu Chuan, his expression becoming grave.

“I know that Dongfang Cheng doesn’t have the strength, but since he dared to speak out, it’s clear his confidence comes from you; you gave him the courage to say such things.”

“So, what ability do you possess that makes you believe you can take on the City Guards?

The power structure in Forest City is not inferior to that in Myriad Stars City; there are powerful clan forces entrenched here.

Your individual power will be hard-pressed to succeed.”

Immediately after, Dongfang Lian also followed up by saying, “Uncle is right; we can’t afford to make more enemies.

Our confrontation with the Lu family has already reached a critical point; we’re on the verge of all-out war.”

“We might receive orders from the headquarters any day now to commence full-scale battle with the Lu Manor.”

“At this juncture, what we need to do is conserve our strength; we mustn’t be too arrogant, nor can we afford to make enemies everywhere!”

“Clearly, this friend called Lu Chuan is a fearless person.

He seems unafraid of everything and does not worry about anything.

After all, he’s here alone, not fearing the targeting of those powers.”

“But we are different; the monk can run away, but the temple can’t.

We cannot make enemies carelessly.”

Dongfang Lian’s words led to nods of agreement from everyone, as they all found her arguments very sensible.

Lu Chuan sighed helplessly, “I came here for breakfast, not to argue with you all.”

“We’re not arguing with you.

We’re discussing, weighing the pros and cons.

The only thing we need to do right now is to gather our strength and conserve our energy!” Dongfang Lian said resolutely.

Lu Chuan shrugged helplessly.

“Dongfang Cheng, haven’t you explained the situation to them?”

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “Without your instructions, I definitely would not speak, after all, this intelligence was discovered by you.”

“Then you explain now.”

Dongfang Cheng took a deep breath, “No problem, since that’s the case, then I’ll explain.”

“Dongfang Changzhi, you are my uncle; when I was living here as a child, you treated me well, and I have kept that in my heart.”

“I would never do anything to harm the interests of the Dongfang family, so you must trust what I am about to say.”

“Firstly, City Lord Wan Changdong has already fully allied with the Lu Manor.

They have begun to scheme in the shadows, ready to launch an attack on us at any moment!”

“The Lu Manor possesses a means that can help Wan Changdong break through to the Martial Saint Realm, and it’s precisely this that has brought about their alliance.”

“Now, our Dongfang family is in grave danger, at the risk of being wiped out at any moment!”
