Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 837 - 837 797 Miss Nangong

837: Chapter 797: Miss Nangong 837: Chapter 797: Miss Nangong Miss Nangong looked at Lu Chuan with disdain and continued, “Do you know?

With just one word from me, you’d immediately lose your qualification to participate in the tournament.

You’d be ruthlessly sent packing, completely stripped of your chance to join the Fiery Sword Sect!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh, as if he was desperate to join the Fiery Sword Sect.

“Save your breath.

I don’t care about your Nangong family or the Fiery Sword Sect.

Since your servant just spoke to me with that attitude, I won’t let this go easily!”

As these words were spoken, Miss Nangong’s face turned extremely ugly, her beautiful eyebrows tightly furrowed as she glared at Lu Chuan.

“You really think you don’t need to fear my Nangong family, huh?

You’re looking for death!”

Lu Chuan snorted coldly and said with disdain, “Who is seeking death is yet to be determined.”

“Everyone, attack!

Teach this bastard a lesson, let him understand who he should provoke and who he shouldn’t!”

Miss Nangong’s rebuke suddenly triggered the seven or eight attendants nearby to charge at Lu Chuan, brandishing their weapons and roaring with anger as they quickly advanced towards him.

Lu Chuan then turned his head toward Li Xunying, “You deal with it.

I can’t be bothered to lift a finger against them.”

It was the kind of dirty work Lu Chuan didn’t care to do, making Li Xunying the perfect candidate.

Li Xunying swiftly stepped forward, each hand holding a dagger—one in a standard grip and the other in a reverse grip—as he wildly danced towards the crowd in front of him.

The cold light flickering from his daggers created a blur of blades and shadows.

Under such a fierce onslaught, nearly all who charged were slashed seven or eight times.

Immediately, that group of men fell to the ground, their bodies covered with wounds, blood oozing out incessantly, with a faint scent of blood wafting in the air.

Seeing this, Miss Nangong involuntarily took two steps back.

The old man beside her, who was even more frightened, pulled at Miss Nangong’s clothes, ready to take her away from this place.

“Miss Nangong, we must go.

These two are too strong for us.

Let’s return to the family and find assistance!”

Swish!!

The next moment, Li Xunying appeared at the entrance, blocking their path.

Upon seeing Li Xunying’s figure, Miss Nangong quickly turned back to face Lu Chuan.

Her eyes filled with resentment, she asked icily, “Who are you?

What are you doing here?

Did you lay an ambush for me on purpose?

Speak, are you one of the Nangong family’s enemies?”

Lu Chuan chuckled, “Miss, you’re really thinking too much.

I didn’t come here specifically to trouble you; rather, you’re the ones who’ve been seeking trouble with me.”

“I’m here to participate in that so-called selection, the Swordsmanship Exchange Summit hosted by the Fiery Sword Sect.”

“Is there a problem with that?”

Miss Nangong continued to inquire, “If that’s the case, then go and participate.

Why are you bothering me?”

“Isn’t it interesting how you say that, when it has been you all along who have been causing trouble?”

Lu Chuan spread his hands, smiling indifferently.

“Enough talk.

You’ve disturbed my rest, and for that, I will not let you off!”

Suddenly, Lu Chuan’s expression turned frosty as he challenged, “If you keep up this attitude, I’m going to have to take action against you.

Now, you only have an old hunchback by your side.

So, do you want to have a go with me?”

At these words, Miss Nangong’s expression froze instantaneously, and she quickly cowered upon realizing the situation she was in.

“You…

what do you want to do to me?”

She pulled her mink scarf tighter across her chest as if afraid that Lu Chuan would lay his hands on her.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan laughed disdainfully.

“Miss Nangong, don’t flatter yourself, I have no intention of laying a hand on you.”

“Then what do you want, exactly?”

“Just now, your old servant was very rude to me, and I want him dead!”

Without hesitation, Li Xunying thrust out her dagger, and the sharp blade instantly pierced through the elder’s neck.

Miss Nangong turned around and was shocked to see her retainer fall into a pool of blood with a thud.

Seeing this, she immediately let out a cry of panic.

“Ah!!!!”

On this trip, all the people by her side had died, leaving her alone.

She turned to look at Li Xunying, then at Lu Chuan, continuously turning her head, warily watching the two of them.

In a panic, she went to the corner, leaned against the wall, and suddenly trembled all over.

“You…

what are you going to do to me?”

Lu Chuan leaned against the counter nearby, nonchalantly said, “You came in with such a fierce demeanor, I’m actually curious to know what you were planning to do to me?”

“Nothing much, I just wanted to clear the area to rest for a moment before heading up the mountain.”

“I certainly didn’t intend to offend you.

You know about the Nangong family, right?

Don’t lay a hand on me, my father is very wealthy, he has everything you could want, as long as you let me go!”

At that moment, Li Xunying drew her dagger and started walking towards her.

“Since you’re from the Nangong family, that is all the more reason you should die!”

Lu Chuan hastily reprimanded her, “Li Xunying!

Don’t be hasty!”

The reprimand made her stop her actions, and she stood there, intently staring at the trembling Miss Nangong as if she were prey.

After hesitating for a moment, she still restrained herself, leaning against the doorway, blocking the exit.

“Miss Nangong, please tell me your name.”

“I…

my name is Nangong Lingya, the third daughter of the Nangong Family Patriarch.”

“If you spare me this time, I assure you, I will never dare to provoke you again!”

She completely cowered, faced with a life-threatening danger, she had no choice but to submit.

Lu Chuan continued to ask, “You’re planning to go up the mountain?”

“Yes, I’m going to attend the Fiery Sword Sect’s selection contest.”

“As a daughter of the Nangong family, do you really need to travel all this way to participate in the selection?

Couldn’t your father just say a word and you’d be directly admitted into the Fiery Sword Sect?”

Nangong Lingya gave an embarrassed smile, “Actually, I’m not going to participate in the selection, I am here to be a judge.

My father sent me here, he said it was to let me see the world.”

“Judge?

So you mean you’re not competing, but deciding the fate of the other participants?”

“That’s right.

It’s also considered a good job.

Just watching other people’s fights and then making a nice sum of pocket money.”

She gave an awkward laugh and hurriedly continued, “If you let me go, how about this—I’ll give you all the money I make?”

“No need, I’m not short of that little bit of money.

What is the relationship between your Nangong family and the Fiery Sword Sect to have such a privilege?”

Nangong Lingya continued, “You could say it’s a very close partnership.

My father has deep ties with the Sect Master of the Fiery Sword Sect.”

“I’ve asked everything I wanted to ask.

Li Xunying, now it’s your turn, you must have a lot of questions.”

Immediately, Li Xunying walked over.

Nangong Lingya turned her head, looking at Li Xunying, who was wearing a veil, and couldn’t help feeling even more afraid.

Compared to Lu Chuan, this black-clad person seemed much more like a heartless executioner.
