Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 836 - 836 796 Unexpected Visitors

836: Chapter 796 Unexpected Visitors 836: Chapter 796 Unexpected Visitors After the troublemaking drunkard was killed, the entire tea house instantly fell silent.

The once lively establishment became deathly quiet, and everyone watching Li Xunying’s figure dared not make a sound.

Li Xunying returned to Lu Chuan’s side and pulled out a chair to sit down.

At that moment, the shop assistant approached with a shaky step.

He placed the teacups down, added the tea leaves, and with both hands lifted the large teapot, beginning to pour tea for Lu Chuan and Li Xunying.

He bowed his head, clearly not daring to look at Lu Chuan and Li Xunying.

Lu Chuan lifted the teacup and took a sip.

“Young Master Lu, let’s just head up the mountain now, reaching the summit, we should find the location of the Swordsmanship Exchange Summit,” said Li Xunying.

Lu Chuan drank a sip of tea and said indifferently, “No rush, since it’s a swordsmanship contest anyway, it should be quite simple for the two of us to take the first place title.”

“Of course, I don’t rule out the possibility of stronger swordsmen appearing there, but if there is really someone whose strength surpasses both of us, they would not likely be here.”

Li Xunying nodded slightly.

“Young Master Lu makes sense.

Those who have the capacity to hold a swordsmanship contest near Forest City shouldn’t be excessively strong.”

“Looking at so many people around us, they all seem to be here to participate in the contest.

Clearly, the rewards must be substantial to attract them.

They haven’t gone up the mountain yet, so there’s no need for us to hurry.”

After glancing around, Li Xunying felt at ease.

Within the tea house, it remained deathly silent, with no one daring to discuss openly, though there were occasional whispers to be heard.

At this point, Lu Chuan stood up, looked at the crowd, and asked aloud, “Everyone, I would like to ask you some things.”

“Have you come to this outpost to prepare for the upcoming Swordsmanship Exchange Summit?”

Someone plucked up the courage to stand and face Lu Chuan, saying, “That’s right, we are all here to participate in the swordsmanship contest at the summit.”

“They call it a swordsmanship exchange, but it’s really just a bunch of swordsmen going up the mountain to compete, with the strongest claiming the final reward.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly and continued, “Then, what is the final reward?”

“The final rewards include money and equipment, but these are just the side prizes.

The most important reward is the opportunity to join the Fiery Sword Sect.”

Lu Chuan frowned slightly, “Fiery Sword Sect?

I’ve never heard of this sect; it must not be near Forest City, right?”

“Of course, it isn’t near Forest City.

Though it may be a bit far, the Fiery Sword Sect is also one of the top sects specializing in swordsmanship in the Kunlun Domain.”

“For swordsmen, this opportunity is extremely precious.

Many of us have come here to climb the mountain, all striving for this goal.”

After finishing speaking, the person sat down, returning to their place.

Sitting on the chair, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but chuckle, “What kind of swordsmanship contest is this?

It’s just a veiled sect recruitment.”

“However, this does have one advantage, that is, it avoids the participation of novices and the weak.”

“If it were advertised as a sect recruitment event, it would likely draw a throng of swordsmanship novices looking to join the excitement.”

Lu Chuan sighed and said, “It seems that those who organized this selection did so deliberately, and they intentionally set the location on a high mountain, thereby excluding all the weak.”

Lu Chuan lifted his teacup and drank it in one gulp, then stood up, ready to leave.

“Let’s go, we might as well head up the mountain and have a look now that we’re here.”

Li Xunying immediately stood and followed closely behind Lu Chuan.

The two made their way toward the inn’s entrance.

Just as they reached the doorway, someone suddenly kicked the door open and strode in with an aggressive gait.

Leading the way were several strapping men clad in black, who, upon entering, lined up in two rows, forming a passage.

Suddenly, a figure gradually emerged from outside.

A tall woman in a dark purple cheongsam, wrapped in a mink scarf, slowly walked in.

Her flowing long hair appeared incredibly elegant, and her delicate, perfect melon-seed face featured nearly perfect features.

With a sweep of her gaze, she scanned the entire inn and then spoke impatiently, “For a place as shabby as this to be worthy of my status?”

“Miss, please make do for now, this remote wilderness really doesn’t have better places.”

“Fine, clear everyone out, there are too many people here, they’re disturbing my rest.”

Following that, an old, hunched figure quickly entered, glanced at Lu Chuan and Li Xunying, and then walked around them to reach the hall.

“Everyone listen up, our Miss Nangong has taken over this inn for today, I want all of you to leave immediately!”

“Did you hear me?

Get moving now!”

Seeing this, everyone present was taken aback for a moment, then began to get up and head toward the exit.

Lu Chuan, witnessing the scene, couldn’t help but wonder, was Miss Nangong’s influence so great?

She was able to make all these swordsmen comply without a word, standing up and vacating their spots.

Then, the old man approached Lu Chuan, “What are you two still gawking at?

Hurry up and get out!

Don’t be an eyesore here!”

Hearing this, Lu Chuan stood his ground right in front of him, unmoved, and although he had initially considered leaving, he now changed his mind.

Li Xunying, observing his stance, understood Lu Chuan’s intent and also stood still beside him.

Lu Chuan looked at the old man and asked, “Why should we make way just because you arrived?”

“It’s because of the reputation of our Miss Nangong, what of it?

Do you not know of the Nangong family?”

“Impossible, nobody who grew up in the Kunlun Domain could fail to have heard of the Nangong family.

Are you deliberately trying to cause us trouble?”

The old man’s eyes darkened as he glared at Lu Chuan, as if he wanted to devour him alive.

Still unyielding, Lu Chuan stood his ground, “I don’t care what family you are from, it doesn’t work on me.”

Even the Kunlun Domain’s overlord, the Lu family, did not stay in his eyes, what more so a mere Nangong family, to swagger about here?

The old man, upon seeing this, was instantly enraged, shouting, “You fool, you dare to provoke our Nangong family and don’t take our clan seriously, do you?

Well, don’t blame us for getting physical then!”

Immediately, seven or eight guards drew their swords and assumed a battle-ready stance.

At this moment, the Miss Nangong standing in the middle slowly stepped forward and lightly patted the old man on the shoulder.

“Old Qin, let me talk to him.”

“Miss, there’s no need, they aren’t worthy of your personal attention.”

Miss Nangong still stepped forward and stood before Lu Chuan.

She sized up Lu Chuan and asked, “I see you carry a precious sword on your back, presumably you, as a swordsman, are here to participate in the Swordsmanship Exchange Summit on the mountain top.”
