Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 833 - 833 793

833: 793 833: 793 Xu Zhihua eyed Lu Chuan skeptically, not believing a word Lu Chuan said.

“Let’s not even talk about the strength of Lu Manor; just the power of the City Lord alone is beyond what Dongfang Residence can compare.”

“First, you killed Lu Residence Master Lu Baixuan, and then you subdued the City Lord.

This story, it just doesn’t sound credible at all!”

He was very curious as he inspected Lu Chuan, disbelieving what Lu Chuan had claimed.

Lu Chuan gave a faint smile, “I came here with only one purpose, to warn you that if you dare to meddle with Lu Manor’s properties again, I will eradicate your Xu family.”

Upon these words, Xu Zhihua’s complexion turned ugly instantly, and his lips twitched involuntarily.

“Lu Chuan, aren’t you being a tad too arrogant?

My great Xu family, you think you can just obliterate it at will?”

Lu Chuan sneered, “Just an Xu family, of course, I can eliminate it effortlessly; didn’t I eradicate Lu Manor in Myriad Stars City all by myself?

Didn’t you know about that?”

Xu Zhihua’s eyes shifted as if he had thought of something, and his face stiffened.

He indeed knew of this news; it had been widely disseminated before, attracting attention from many major families.

The destruction of Lu Manor in Myriad Stars City was no small matter, and Xu Zhihua was very clear on that.

“Can the Lu Manor of Myriad Stars City even be compared to the one in Forest City?”

“There, not even a single warrior from the Martial Saint Realm existed, but in Forest City’s Lu Manor, there are fully two such beings.”

“Lu Wu and Lu Baixuan?

Both of these men died by my hand.”

Lu Chuan said dismissively.

Xu Zhihua swallowed nervously, his anxiety starting to build up.

“Lu Wu…

I know you killed Lu Wu, but Lu Baixuan, with more experience and stronger power, you killed him too?

Even though he had teamed up with the City Lord?”

He still found it hard to comprehend—for someone like Lu Baixuan from Lu Manor to join forces with Wan Changdong, who else in Forest City could be their rival?

Lu Chuan patted his shoulder, scoffing with a smile.

“Stop babbling.

Lu Manor is now under my control, and even the City Lord obeys my commands.

In this Forest City, whoever I want to be annihilated, will be eliminated, including your Xu family.”

Xu Zhihua gradually came to accept the reality, and his attitude underwent a huge shift.

He promptly turned to look at Lu Chuan, “Young Master Lu, I understand your words.

I will absolutely not meddle in Lu Manor’s affairs from now on.

If there’s anything you need from us, feel free to find me, I will comply without fail!”

He spoke earnestly, shedding his previous demeanor.

Lu Chuan patted his shoulder, saying, “That’s exactly what I wanted to hear.

Remember, from now on, Forest City is mine—Lu Chuan’s domain.”

“I will keep it in mind and never forget.”

He nodded quickly, not daring to show the slightest negligence.

“Since I’m here, let’s talk.

What are the plans for your Xu family moving forward?

Our families might collaborate on some projects.”

Xu Zhihua breathed a sigh of relief and eagerly said, “There are a few major events happening around Forest City which I have been closely monitoring recently.”

“One of them is that in the northern part of the city, Sky Wolf Mountain, a special ore vein was discovered, and several major families are now disputing over the mining rights.”

“At present, the forces of the Dongfang family, Lu Manor, and the City Lord are all aware of this news, and hence, our Xu family has temporarily abandoned this idea.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “What else?”

“Additionally, in the northwest, on Lingtan Mountain, a Swordsmanship Exchange Summit is being held—it’s a gathering of swordsmen to compare their strengths and the strongest among them will receive a precious treasure.”

Lu Chuan immediately showed interest, “Swordsmanship Exchange Summit?

On Lingtan Mountain?

Who is hosting it?”

“It’s currently unknown.

Only when you go there will you meet the person who organized the event.”

“I see you have brought along a precious sword; you might go up the mountain to take a look, you should qualify to join in.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Good, I might find time to check it out.

Anything else?”

“Aside from that, there are some trade cooperations with neighboring cities, these are the issues our Xu family is mainly concerned with currently.”

“Okay, I got it.

Collaborate more with Lu Manor in the future.

I’ll have Gu Xiaorou manage our family affairs.

If you get a chance to meet her, you know what to do, right?”

Xu Zhihua promptly bowed, speaking earnestly, “Of course, I know.

I will treat her with the same respect as I treat you.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, then turned around, ready to leave.

Xu Zhihua watched Lu Chuan depart, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

He gasped for breath, trying to calm himself down as much as possible.

His heart had been in his throat just a moment ago; he knew Lu Chuan’s strength was fully capable of annihilating their Xu Manor Residence, thankfully, he realized quickly enough to ingratiate himself with Lu Chuan timely.

After leaving the Xu family, Lu Chuan rode his horse back to Lu Manor.

Once he had returned to Lu Manor, Lu Chuan entered the manor and quickly headed to the Council Hall.

The spacious Council Hall was filled with two rows of wooden chairs, and Lu Chuan sat in the main seat.

The main seat was a beautifully carved mahogany chair.

Seated there, Lu Chuan quietly awaited everyone’s arrival.

Soon, the core members of Lu Manor gradually entered the Council Hall.

Everyone turned to look at Lu Chuan.

Although he was young and looked somewhat youthful, the authority he exuded made these people dare not take him lightly.

“Has everyone arrived?

The affairs of Lu Manor are under your management, and I know nothing about it, so I need to learn about the situation from you.”

“Since I’m now managing this Lu Manor, I must indeed understand what’s going on here.”

Suddenly, Gu Xiaorou walked in, headed toward Lu Chuan, and sat in the small chair next to him.

“She will manage the affairs of Lu Manor from now on.

I still have other matters to tend to.”

Lu Chuan looked at Gu Xiaorou, “If you have any questions, just ask them, and manage this vast Lu Manor.”

Then, someone raised their hand, “Lu Chuan, since this is Lu Manor, having an outsider manage us seems a bit inappropriate, doesn’t it?”

Lu Chuan stared at that person and asked, “Is she an outsider?”

The person who spoke was immediately at a loss, unsure how to respond.

“She…

should be, right?”

“Since she isn’t an outsider, letting her manage shouldn’t be a problem.

I have many things to handle and currently don’t have the time to deal with internal affairs here.”

Immediately, the managers of various affairs in the Council Hall began to report their work, also reporting the current condition of Lu Manor and the various industrial situations under it.

After listening briefly, Lu Chuan then continued, “The newly discovered ore vein at Sky Wolf Mountain, are any of you familiar with it?”
