Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 818 - 818 778 Crisis Looms

818: Chapter 778 Crisis Looms 818: Chapter 778 Crisis Looms After Dongfang Cheng finished speaking, everyone present no longer said much.

Since Dongfang Cheng had spoken, naturally they had nothing more to say.

However, if Lu Chuan really did kill Dongfang Lian, that news would surely reach the headquarters of the Dongfang family.

What would happen then was difficult to say.

Lu Chuan helped Gu Xiaorou to her feet, and the two walked towards the room together.

Another servant supported Gu Xiaosang, also escorting her into the room.

Lu Chuan picked up Gu Xiaorou and placed her on the bed.

“Do you feel any better?”

Lu Chuan asked softly.

Lying on the bed, Gu Xiaorou, with misty eyes, weakly nodded her head.

“Much better, I feel as if I just had a walk by the Gates of Hell, it’s truly unbearable.”

“It’s good that you came back.

If you hadn’t, I’m afraid I would have been done for.”

Lu Chuan held her burning wrist, saying, “The assailant, I definitely won’t let them go.

Rest assured, I will kill that bastard!”

“But…

that’s Dongfang Lian, what if it causes some bad repercussions?”

She looked at Lu Chuan with great concern.

Lu Chuan, with a firm tone, resolutely said, “I don’t care who she is, since she dared to lay a hand on you, then she deserves to die.”

“If I were to cower and compromise this time, it would only tell others that I, Lu Chuan, am easy to bully, and sooner or later they all will come to squeeze me.”

“There’s no room for turning back on this matter, killing Dongfang Lian will also let the Dongfang family know that I, Lu Chuan, am not to be trifled with.”

Gu Xiaorou nodded helplessly, “All right, since you have decided, I won’t say much more.

I’ve always supported your decisions, but she has now escaped.

She might be heading back to the City Lord’s Mansion, it’s probably not easy to find her now.”

Lu Chuan rubbed his forehead and sighed helplessly, “With her doing this, isn’t Wan Changdong’s plan going to proceed smoothly?”

“If he breaks through to the Martial Saint Realm, he will hesitate no longer before joining forces with Lu Manor to act against us, it seems the situation is very grim, we must prepare.”

Gu Xiaorou struggled to raise her hand, touching Lu Chuan’s cheek softly, and said, “Be extra careful, they certainly won’t let things go easily.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Rest assured and rest.

I will handle our opponents smoothly, don’t worry too much, recovering your health is the priority.”

“After the body has absorbed the poison, it causes damage, and although Nine Heavens Profound Fire has stopped the toxins and repaired the body, if you wish to recover to the best state, you still need to recuperate properly.”

“So, for the time being, just stay here and don’t go out if it’s not necessary.”

“Next, I will have Li Xunying be your personal bodyguard.

I don’t trust anyone else anymore.”

Gu Xiaorou quickly said, “Wait, Dongfang Cheng is still trustworthy.

Don’t end up without any ally.”

Lu Chuan stroked her forehead, smiling as he said, “I know, don’t worry about it, rest now.”

Lu Chuan tucked her in, then stood up and left the room.

Back in the courtyard, he saw that the crowd had dispersed quite a bit, but there were still people standing here, engaged in a heated discussion about something.

Lu Chuan walked over.

“How is Gu Xiaosang’s condition?”

The servant nearby quickly bowed and said, “To answer Your Question, Miss Gu’s condition is good, she is conscious, can eat, and her state is still recovering.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly.

Dongfang Cheng came over, bowing slightly towards Lu Chuan, “I’m truly sorry for such an incident happening at the Dongfang Residence; it is indeed our fault.”

Lu Chuan patted Dongfang Cheng on the shoulder, “What does that have to do with you.”

“Everyone, listen up,” due to Dongfang Lian’s internal and external collusion, a coordination was struck that allowed Wan Changdong’s plan to succeed.”

“It won’t be long before Wan Changdong breaks through to the Martial Saint Realm.

Then, we will face the combined assault of City Lord Wan Changdong and Lu Manor.”

“Since the situation can no longer be salvaged, we must prepare to deal with it!”

Lu Chuan shouted loudly.

Dongfang Changzhi briskly stepped forward, a look of shock on his face as he stared at Lu Chuan, “What?

What did you say?

The City Lord is going to join forces with Lu Manor to deal with our Dongfang Residence?”

“That’s right, Lu Manor will help Wan Changdong break through to the Martial Saint Realm, and in return, they plan to join forces and eradicate you all!”

“Now, their plan is proceeding smoothly.

I could have stopped it, but this matter has held me back.”

“So, I can confidently claim that it was Dongfang Lian who secretly colluded with Wan Changdong to strike such a deal.”

Lu Chuan’s words left Dongfang Changzhi speechless.

“Get ready everyone, prepare for the upcoming battle.

All of this was caused by Dongfang Lian!”

After hearing this, Dongfang Changzhi sighed helplessly, his face full of sorrow as he looked down at the ground, lost in thought.

“Young Master Lu, is there no possibility of stopping them?

If both families join forces and come at us, we won’t be able to withstand it!”

Dongfang Cheng nervously said, aware of the City Lord’s power, as well as the strength of the city guards below.

If a full-scale battle were to break out, the people of Dongfang Residence may not stand a chance.

Moreover, the people of the Dongfang Residence in Forest City hadn’t fought anyone in many years.

Although they have realms, they may not possess fighting strength.

If a battle were to occur, they would certainly be like lambs to the slaughter.

Then, they might have to rely on Lu Chuan to save them.

“There’s nothing that can be done, the situation has developed to this point.

What else can we do?

We can only accept it.”

Lu Chuan shrugged helplessly.

Dongfang Changzhi, leading the core members of the residence, turned and dispersed one after another.

The expressions on everyone’s faces became extremely grave, as this news was not good for any of them.

Soon, only Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng were left in the courtyard.

“Since you could kill Lu Wu, this Wan Changdong should also be no problem for you, right?”

Lu Chuan looked at him and replied, “If it were just him alone, of course he would be no problem, but he has enough Martial Emperor powerful experts under him.”

“You expect me to fight all of them?

I can hardly fight off so many with just two fists, how could I possibly fight?”

Dongfang Cheng sighed deeply, “It seems the situation is very bleak.

Otherwise, I will write to the main residence of our family, though I don’t know how long it will take.”

“Write them, if we can get support, that would be best.

If not, we will have to find another way.”

“Alright…”

Dongfang Cheng turned and left, heading towards the study.

Lu Chuan stood in the courtyard, looking up to the sky.

It was now evening, and the setting sun stained a vast expanse of the sky red, dying the shattered clouds a blood-red color.

Suddenly, the figure of Li Xunying appeared on top of the wall.

He looked down, leapt off, and quickly walked toward Lu Chuan.

“Young Master Lu, I have something to report!”

“Speak!”

“I followed that convoy into the mountain and found their destination!”

Lu Chuan’s eyes suddenly lit up.
