Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 825 - 825 785 Return to Forest City

825: Chapter 785: Return to Forest City 825: Chapter 785: Return to Forest City Wan Changdong’s words left Lu Baixuan feeling utterly devastated.

“Fine, I see right through you now, you bastard.

Do you think he will let you go?

After he annihilates the Lu Manor, he’ll take down the Dongfang family’s people along with you.

Then, he’ll be the boss of Forest City.”

“Don’t you have any idea what happened in Myriad Stars City?”

Lu Baixuan pleaded earnestly.

Lu Chuan looked at Wan Changdong and said, “In Myriad Stars City, I only annihilated the Lu Manor, I did not touch the forces of the City Lord.”

“Otherwise, you wouldn’t have seen that letter from Zhao Huangqian, would you?”

Wan Changdong breathed a sigh of relief, “Of course, I know your target was only the Lu Manor.

Once the Lu Manor is gone, everything will be perfect.”

He laughed ruefully, feeling a weight lifted off his chest.

Lu Chuan turned to Li Xunying, “Take him away, don’t let him babble on here.”

“Understood.”

He bound Lu Baixuan’s hands and feet, hoisted him over his shoulder, and prepared to descend the mountain.

Lu Chuan turned his head towards Wan Changdong and said, “Come, return to Forest City with me, I still have matters to attend to.”

“What matters?

Just tell me, and I’ll handle it.”

“No, from now on, you follow me wherever I go.”

Wan Changdong frowned slightly, looking puzzled at Lu Chuan, “Why is that?”

“If you were to return to the Inner City of Forest City, return to the City Guards, and then call upon a crowd, wouldn’t I still be in danger?”

Lu Chuan still harbored fears regarding the City Guards of Forest City.

Though his own strength was formidable, he could not withstand the greater numbers, as two fists can’t defend against four hands.

Therefore, Lu Chuan remained vigilant against any possible counterattack by Wan Changdong.

“Young Master Lu, this worry…

really isn’t necessary.

I’m not inclined that way anymore.”

“However, it’s more prudent to do so, and I can understand that.”

Wan Changdong reluctantly nodded his head, having no choice but to follow Lu Chuan down the mountain.

In the deep of the night, the mountain forest was pitch black, with Lu Chuan holding a torch, making his way down the mountain path.

Soon, the two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain.

After finding the hidden horses, they mounted them and began their return to Forest City.

“That Dongfang Lian, she’s definitely inside your residence, right?”

After mounting his horse, Lu Chuan looked towards Wan Changdong and asked.

Wan Changdong also got on a horse, and the two rode side by side.

“Dongfang Lian, yes, I met her just before I left the city.

She came to seek refuge at the City Lord’s Mansion, she should still be at the residence now.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly.

“What, are you really going to kill her?”

Wan Changdong turned his head and stared at Lu Chuan.

“Of course, she almost killed Gu Xiaorou, I definitely must take her life.”

“Young Master Lu, this is very irrational of you.

You are allies with the Dongfang family now, how can you lay a hand on Dongfang Lian, the daughter of the Dongfang Family Patriarch?”

“If you kill her, the consequences will be very severe.”

Wan Changdong sighed, shook his head helplessly, knowing that he couldn’t persuade Lu Chuan.

“You’re worrying about me now?

Do I need you to instruct me on what to do?”

Wan Changdong gave an embarrassed smile, shaking his head helplessly, “Definitely not, I can’t instruct you, you dare to confront people from the Lu family, how could I compare to that.”

The two continued along the road and soon reached the city gate.

The City Guard saw Wan Changdong’s figure from afar.

Although they found it strange why Wan Changdong’s torso was bare and he bore signs of a fight, they were merely soldiers guarding the gate and did not have the status to question the City Lord’s affairs.

The two rode their horses into the city.

In the night streets of Forest City, hardly any shadows of people could be seen.

“In the past, this place used to be very lively,”

Wan Changdong said with an awkward smile.

Lu Chuan scoffed, “Isn’t it your masterpiece with Lu Baixuan that turned this street so deserted?”

“Hahaha, there’s no other way.

For me to break through to the Martial Saint Realm, this sacrifice is inevitable.”

“Can’t you break through on your own?”

Wan Changdong looked at Lu Chuan and shook his head helplessly, “I’m not like you, extraordinarily talented.

Although I was once considered a genius, there are always people better than me and heavens beyond skies.

My talent is too trivial in front of a true genius.”

He smiled sheepishly, shook the reins, and accelerated his horse towards the city gate.

Lu Chuan watched his back and hastened to catch up.

This Wan Changdong is still a person who has lost his reason, somewhat crazy.

So many people have died, and in his mouth, it’s just unavoidable, all for the breakthrough.

He would stop at nothing.

This is a person Lu Chuan would absolutely not trust.

It seems that Forest City really needs a new City Lord.

Lu Chuan and Wan Changdong arrived at the gate of the Inner City.

The massive vermilion gate slowly opened.

The guards at the gate, seeing Wan Changdong, all respectfully bowed.

Seeing Lu Chuan, confusion flashed across their faces.

They were puzzled as to why Lu Chuan was so close to Wan Changdong.

After entering the Inner City, they passed through the military camp and headed towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

Lu Chuan looked at Wan Changdong and asked, “If you were to shout out now, would the people in this military camp wake up and obey your command to encircle me?”

Hearing this, Wan Changdong hurriedly laughed awkwardly, “Young Master Lu, you think too much.

How dare I?

Even if I could command a response now, I don’t have the guts.”

“I know perfectly well that right after I shout, before these men could even step out of their tents, you could take my life.”

“I don’t have such courage, do I?”

He asked with a chuckle.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, pointing towards the distant City Lord’s Mansion, “Let’s go, it’s not far now.”

The two rode to the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion, where an old caretaker in white pajamas stood at the door.

Seeing Wan Changdong, he bowed deeply and said, “Honorable City Lord, you have returned…”

“Open the gate, I need to enter.”

“This is…”

He looked at Lu Chuan, utterly confused.

This wasn’t his first time seeing Lu Chuan; Lu Chuan had visited the City Lord’s Mansion twice, and he recognized him.

He knew Lu Chuan was not a friend to the City Lord, even possibly an enemy, though he didn’t know much more, but this much was clear to him.

However, what he didn’t understand now was why Lu Chuan was so close to Wan Changdong.

“You know him.

He is Lu Chuan.

Now, well, he is my friend.”

“He… he is your friend?

What about Lu Baixuan?”

The caretaker scratched his head, looking puzzledly at Lu Chuan.

“Lu Baixuan?

Don’t ask about him, that’s not for you to know.”

“By the way, where is Dongfang Lian?” Wan Changdong asked.

“That young lady is waiting in your study; she said she would wait for your good news before agreeing to go to the guest room to sleep.”

“What good news is she waiting for?”

“Uh this…”

The caretaker looked at Lu Chuan, suddenly at a loss for words.

“I’ll say it, is she waiting for Wan Changdong and Lu Baixuan to kill me, so she can relax and sleep, or return to the Dongfang Residence, right?”
