816: Chapter 776: Intercept Midway 816: Chapter 776: Intercept Midway Dongfang Lian curiously looked at the two, asking, “So urgent, where are you headed?”

Dongfang Cheng glanced at her, waved his hand impatiently, “There’s nothing to discuss with you, we have important matters to attend to, no time to play with you.”

“Fine, I wasn’t very interested in playing either, I want to cultivate here, where the Spiritual Energy is abundant.”

With her arms crossed, she proudly declared.

“Suit yourself, if you want to cultivate here, just do it without causing trouble.”

Having said that, Dongfang Cheng and Lu Chuan left the Dongfang Residence together.

At the entrance of the residence, the servant had readied two fine horses, ready for departure at any moment.

“This time, where is the convoy passing through?”

“Still in City South, the same main road, exactly the same!”

Lu Chuan mounted the horse nearby, and after a moment of thought, grabbed the reins.

“Perhaps, this is a feint?

Their real point of action might not be here!”

“This…

It’s hard to say without intercepting the convoy, everything is unclear.”

Dongfang Cheng too mounted his horse, and both rode toward City South.

After turning a few streets, they were nearly at the main road.

Suddenly, a dark figure appeared, blocking their path.

Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng hurriedly pulled the reins, stopping their horses.

“Who goes there!” Dongfang Cheng shouted loudly.

Immediately thereafter, Lu Chuan looked at Dongfang Cheng, reassuringly said, “This is Li Xunying.”

Lu Chuan addressed Li Xunying, “Speak, what new discovery have you made to suddenly stop us?”

Li Xunying knelt on the ground, his voice grave, “Young Master Lu, a grave matter has occurred, please rush back to Dongfang Residence!”

“Why?

If I return now, wouldn’t that allow the City Lord’s convoy to escape smoothly?”

“Young Master Lu, if you don’t return now, the Gu sisters’ lives will be at stake!”

Lu Chuan suddenly opened his eyes wide, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, staring at Li Xunying, he asked, “What did you say?

Xiao Rou and Gu Xiaosang’s lives are in danger?”

“Yes, please return quickly, we can’t afford any more delays!”

Having said that, Li Xunying stood up and walked toward Lu Chuan’s horse, taking a seat behind him uninvited.

“Let’s go back first, I’ll explain on the way.”

Lu Chuan, daring not to hesitate, immediately turned around and began to head back the way they came.

Dongfang Cheng followed closely beside Lu Chuan, looking curiously at Li Xunying.

“Speak, what exactly happened?

Why is their safety at risk?”

Lu Chuan asked in a heavy tone.

“Here’s the situation, I had just returned to Dongfang Residence, preparing to report my findings to you when the City Lord’s convoy departed again!”

“However, when I reached the courtyard, I was shocked to see both Xiao Rou and Gu Xiaosang lying on the ground, their faces terribly pale, completely unconscious.”

“I approached to wake them, but they did not respond no matter what.

When I felt their wrists, their pulse was so weak that it was almost undetectable.”

“They were in a near-death state, regretfully I’m not skilled in medicine and couldn’t treat them right away, thus I hastily came to find you.”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan’s heart tightened immensely, his heartbeat quickened.

Even Dongfang Cheng was panicked, he clearly understood the importance of the Gu sisters to Lu Chuan.

His heart grew uneasy, how could such a situation occur in Dongfang Residence?

“Hurry back, we can’t waste any more time!”

Lu Chuan whipped the reins, clamped his legs tightly, and the horse beneath him sped up, forcing pedestrians to scramble out of the way and clear the road.

Soon enough, Lu Chuan had returned to the entrance of Dongfang Residence.

He dismounted quickly and ran into the residence.

Dongfang Cheng followed closely behind, and the two of them ran towards the courtyard together.

Upon returning to the courtyard, Lu Chuan immediately spotted the two unconscious figures.

The next moment, Lu Chuan rushed forward and propped up Gu Xiaorou’s upper body.

The unconscious Gu Xiaorou’s body was completely limp, unable to regain consciousness.

Her breathing and pulse were extremely weak, teetering on the edge of death.

Lu Chuan took a deep breath and looked at Dongfang Cheng.

“Why did this happen?”

Dongfang Cheng immediately panicked, holding his head in his hands as he nervously said, “I…

I don’t know why this happened either!”

“Young Master Lu, is there a way to save her?”

Lu Chuan reluctantly nodded, his right palm gathering the Nine Heavens Profound Fire.

He then placed his palm on Gu Xiaorou’s chest.

The Nine Heavens Profound Fire surged into her body, warming the previously ice-cold hands and feet.

After the Nine Heavens Profound Fire entered her body, it began to repair all internal injuries while also purifying the toxins, providing immunity to all damage.

Considering Gu Xiaorou’s current state, Lu Chuan believed that she had been poisoned.

There were no external injuries but severe internal damage.

Moreover, there were no signs of a struggle, because any such disturbance would have alerted many more people.

Clearly, she had been silently poisoned.

Under the effect of the Nine Heavens Profound Fire, Gu Xiaorou’s body gradually started recovering; consciousness returned slowly to her previously limp body.

She slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Lu Chuan’s smiling face.

“That’s good, the situation isn’t too severe, she can be saved, that was a close one…”

Lu Chuan was still shaken but breathed a sigh of relief.

Next, he moved to Gu Xiaosang’s side and injected Nine Heavens Profound Fire into her body as well.

The warm flame traveled throughout her body, providing comprehensive repair and healing.

After a few moments, Gu Xiaosang also gradually came to, weakly opening her eyes.

By then, Gu Xiaorou was already able to stand up and was sitting on a nearby chair.

Lu Chuan helped Gu Xiaosang up and had her sit on a stone chair as well.

Then, Lu Chuan looked at Dongfang Cheng and said, “Gather everyone from the Dongfang Residence for me.

The person who could have poisoned them must be someone from the Dongfang Residence!”

Dongfang Cheng nodded solemnly and turned to leave.

Lu Chuan looked at the two women and hurriedly asked, “Do you remember what happened before you fainted?

Who poisoned you?

Do you know?”

Gu Xiaorou rubbed her forehead with her hand, pursed her lips, and then sighed.

“It was Dongfang Lian.”

Gu Xiaorou hesitated for a moment but then spoke out.

“Dongfang Lian?

Are you sure it was her?”

Gu Xiaorou nodded slightly.

Gu Xiaosang then said, “She just came over with a box of desserts, saying she had made them herself and wanted us to try them.”

“I thought, since we are staying at their place, the least we could do was give her that courtesy.”

“So, we each took a piece and ate it.”

“Then…

we lost consciousness.”

Lu Chuan’s expression turned icy, “That bastard, I won’t let her off!”

“I hesitated just now about whether to say it, precisely because I was worried about this.

She is, after all, Dongfang Cheng’s own sister!”

Lu Chuan looked at Gu Xiaorou and resolutely said, “I don’t care whose person she is.

To dare to attack you, going as far as to attempt murder, I absolutely won’t forgive her.

If she doesn’t die, I won’t rest!”
