Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 814 - 814 774 Gone Haywire

814: Chapter 774: Gone Haywire 814: Chapter 774: Gone Haywire Wan Changdong’s words left Lu Chuan stunned for a moment.

This guy was truly insane.

To break through to the Martial Saint Realm, he was even willing to give up his position as City Lord.

“You’d better think this through, this is the work of your lifetime, the foundation of all your life’s struggles.

Are you really willing to give all that up?”

Wan Changdong nodded seriously, “As long as I can break through to the Martial Saint Realm, everything else is illusory.”

“What’s the use of being City Lord?

Once I’ve broken through to the Martial Saint Realm, even if I have to start all over again from scratch, I can still become a hero in my own right!”

The fervor in his eyes was nearly spilling out, and his entire being radiated a thirst for power that Lu Chuan could smell even without getting close.

Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly; this guy was like a madman, his pursuit of strength was too obsessive, almost to the point of insanity.

He was practically possessed, and even if such a person were to break through to the Martial Saint Realm, he would still become a lunatic.

Such a mentality was utterly unsuitable for the Martial Path of cultivation and would sooner or later lead to a deviant path.

Lu Chuan stood up, looked him straight in the eye, and said indifferently, “City Lord Wan, you’ve said so much just to make me back off and stop preventing your breakthrough to the Martial Saint Realm.”

“So, I want to know, what exactly have I done to prevent your breakthrough?”

Wan Changdong was taken aback.

After a long moment of contemplation, he spoke, “Didn’t you raid my convoy?”

“The children on the convoy?

You plan to use them to break through to the Martial Saint Realm?

I don’t understand.

You can’t be playing me, can you?

How could they help you break through to the Martial Saint Realm when they haven’t even begun to set foot on the Martial Path of cultivation?”

“This…”

He was at a loss for words, unsure of how to respond.

“You don’t know exactly how to go about it, do you?”

“Lu Baixuan, that man told me that this would help me break through to the Martial Saint Realm,” Wan Changdong choked out.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Is there a possibility that he’s deceiving you?”

“Impossible.

Lu Wu advanced in that very way; his success was definitely his doing!”

“Well, if you trust him that much, then there’s nothing more we can say.”

“What do you mean by that?

Are you not planning to back down?

I’m just one step away from breaking through to the Martial Saint Realm.

Why won’t you let me achieve this?”

“You have already embarked on the path of cultivation, you have the strength to break through to the Martial Saint Realm, but must you now cut off the path for future generations?”

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh, “Are you serious?

I did not rely on such methods to break through the realms.”

“City Lord Wan, you better give up.

You won’t succeed, you’re already possessed, and if you continue like this, you will go mad.”

Wan Changdong slammed his fist on the table and scolded, “What do you know?

You don’t know anything!

You dare to speak so arrogantly, claiming I won’t succeed!”

“I’ve given you such a good opportunity, and if you don’t cherish it, don’t blame me!”

Lu Chuan looked at him and asked, “What now, are you going to make a move against me?”

Wan Changdong was momentarily choked up, at a loss for words.

Right now, he certainly didn’t dare to make a move against Lu Chuan.

Before breaking through to the Martial Saint Realm, he would definitely not engage in combat with Lu Chuan.

He knew this, and so did Lu Chuan.

“I’ll ask you one last time.

Agree, and Forest City will be yours to command.

If you don’t, sooner or later, we will have to face a great battle.”

“That wouldn’t be good for either of us.”

Lu Chuan said dismissively, “I don’t agree.

Forest City and all that, I’m not interested.

The only thing I care about is taking revenge on the Lu family!”

“Fine!

One day, you’ll regret it.

This is your last chance!”

“I’m leaving, until next time!”

“Hmph, the next time we meet, I will have reached the Martial Saint Realm.

By then, you might not be my match!”

“I, Wan Changdong, will lead the City Guards and destroy everything of the Dongfang family!”

He shouted angrily, then clenched his fists and slammed them onto the table with a surge of rage.

Bang!!

Lu Chuan pushed the door open and walked out.

Wan Changdong stared at Lu Chuan’s retreating figure, his eyes shadowed and filled with resentment.

Upon arriving outside Lu Manor, Lu Chuan saw Dongfang Cheng pacing back and forth at the entrance.

“Young Master Lu, why so soon?

What did you two discuss?”

Lu Chuan approached him and shrugged helplessly.

“The man’s gone mad, actually trying to persuade me, even offering me the position of City Lord.”

Dongfang Cheng was immediately shocked, “What?

He…

is that crazy?

To give up his own throne just to break through to the Martial Saint Realm?”

“But I can understand, the temptation of the Martial Saint Realm is indeed immense.”

“Right, you didn’t agree, did you?”

Lu Chuan nodded, “Of course I couldn’t agree.

I don’t trust him.

He’s all talk.

I can’t actually believe him, can I?”

“By then, if he joins forces with Lu Manor to eliminate you all and then turns against me, wouldn’t I be doomed?”

“Young Master Lu is indeed a smart man.

This Wan Changdong would certainly not easily relinquish his position as City Lord.”

The two laughed with each other and then walked out of the Inner City together.

After the two left, back inside the City Lord’s Mansion, in the meeting room, Wan Changdong leaned over the table and kept pounding the wooden desk with his fists.

“Lu Chuan, Dongfang Cheng, just you wait, you’re both dead!

I won’t let you off!”

Just then, a figure walked in.

“You’ve come…

take a seat.”

Wan Changdong sat up straight and looked at the other person earnestly.

“As long as you help me with this favor, I promise to let you go, killing only Lu Chuan.”

The person nodded slightly, and a smile reappeared on Wan Changdong’s face.

…

After returning to Dongfang Residence, Lu Chuan went straight to his room and fell asleep.

The next morning, Lu Chuan got up and went to the yard to have breakfast.

The table was full of steaming breakfast.

A bowl of steamed rice, three plates of stir-fried dishes, and a pot of soup.

Three people sat in front of the stone table and quickly finished their breakfast.

“Lu Chuan, what did you and the City Lord talk about last night when you went out to see him?”

Gu Xiaorou picked up a chopstick full of vegetables and asked.

“The City Lord wants to win me over, to stop opposing him.”

“He really thought of that, resorting to such a method.

He must be out of options.”

Gu Xiaorou didn’t ask more, knowing that Lu Chuan would never agree.

Gu Xiaorou knew Lu Chuan’s determination for revenge all too well, so she couldn’t doubt that he would give up midway.

After breakfast, Dongfang Cheng came to visit early in the morning.

Upon seeing him, Gu Xiaosang sighed with some annoyance.

“Xiaosang, what do you mean by that?

You don’t want to see me?”

Dongfang Cheng asked with a laugh.

“Every day, as soon as I open my eyes I see you running over here.

I’m getting tired of seeing you.”

Dongfang Cheng shrugged helplessly, “I don’t want to either, but I have something to discuss with Young Master Lu.”

“The people you rescued yesterday have all returned; some news has spread.

Many in the city know that the City Lord is behind this.”

“But no one dares to make a fuss, since Wan Changdong’s rule here is still very strong.”

“However, his reputation as City Lord is probably going to suffer a lot.”
