Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 862 - 862 822 City Lord's Banquet

862: Chapter 822 City Lord’s Banquet 862: Chapter 822 City Lord’s Banquet Su Qianming heard Lu Chuan’s words and immediately nodded in thanks.

He then took out an invitation from his bosom, “At that time, you can use this to enter the Inner City.

I plan to host a huge banquet at the military training ground and set a lavish feast.”

“I’ll be waiting for you there.

If you come, I will definitely arrange the best seat for you.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “No problem, you go ahead and arrange it.

I’ll come over later.”

“Alright then!”

He shouted excitedly, then turned and walked out of Lu Manor, got into his carriage, and departed along the street.

Lu Chuan turned and entered into the interior of Lu Manor.

In the courtyard, Lu Chuan found Gu Xiaorou.

She was sitting in a pavilion, holding a pen in one hand and a piece of paper in the other, deep in thought.

Lu Chuan came over and sat beside her.

“Is there a problem?”

“Hmm?

No, there isn’t.

I have to approve some recent business deals, so I’m doing the accounts,” she answered, looking up at Lu Chuan briefly before returning her gaze to the white paper in front of her.

“Su Qianming just came by?”

“You saw him, didn’t you?”

Gu Xiaorou nodded slightly, “I saw him.

He drank the poison in my presence, and then, he handed the antidote to me.”

“We have dedicated people watching him in the manor; he couldn’t tamper it, and the antidote has been verified; it’s real.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “From now on, you will be able to control the City Lord’s lifeline.

In Forest City, you are essentially in control of everything.”

Gu Xiaorou offered a resigned smile, “After all, this is a world where strength is supreme.

I can’t stop working on my cultivation speed either.”

“Lu Chuan, let me manage Lu Manor from now on.

I will do my utmost to use the manor’s resources to aid my cultivation.”

Lu Chuan nodded, “That’s what I was thinking too.

I might go to the next city soon.

When that time comes, if I encounter the Lu family’s influence, I will take it down again.”

“The person to take over will still be you, so you just stay here and await the news.”

At that moment, Gu Xiaorou lifted a birdcage from beneath the table and placed it on top.

Looking at Lu Chuan, she said, “This is a Myriad Realms Bird.

Do you remember it?”

Lu Chuan examined the birdcage and then nodded, “Of course, I remember.

This bird has strong flying abilities and can fly long distances for extended periods, able to cross between the Kunlun Domain and the secular world.”

“People in the Kunlun Domain all use these little guys to send messages.”

“In the future, I can use this bird to send messages to you.

If anything happens here, I will inform you.”

Gu Xiaorou opened the birdcage and took out one of the birds.

On the bird’s ankle was a fixed ring.

And what it connected to was a jade ring.

Gu Xiaorou slipped the jade ring onto her left index finger.

Instantly, the Myriad Realms Bird, as if responding to some signal, started flapping its wings and jumped onto Gu Xiaorou’s left hand, its claws gripping her finger.

Gu Xiaorou held up the Myriad Realms Bird and said, “It cost me quite a sum to buy this.”

“Here, for you,” she continued, placing another ring on the table.

“Just wear this, and if I write to you, it will find you with the letter.”

Lu Chuan picked up the ring and put it on his finger, “This is indeed good.

In that case, I can leave Forest City with peace of mind.”

“Take good care of this Lu Manor.

If one day, I attack the Lu family, kill Lu Fusheng, I definitely won’t annihilate everyone in Lu Manor.

Instead, I will take over and become the Family Head.

By then, you will be the Lady of the Family Head.”

“For now, we need to take things slow, step by step.”

Lu Chuan rose and walked out of the pavilion.

“There’s a banquet tonight hosted by Su Qianming.

Do you plan to go?”

“I won’t attend.

There have been too many changes in the city recently, and there are many issues I need to deal with.

You go ahead.

If Xiao Rou wants to go, you can bring her too.”

Lu Chuan left the pavilion and went back to his room.

He changed into a black outfit adorned with gold, then left Lu Manor once more.

Li Xunying continued to follow closely behind Lu Chuan.

Together, the two headed towards the Inner City.

On the way, Lu Chuan turned to Li Xunying and asked, “Do you know only Nangong Qianying from the Nangong family?”

“Yes, my hatred is limited only to my feud with him.”

“Then the others from the Nangong family do not recognize you?”

Li Xunying nodded in confirmation.

“Yes, they do not know me.”

“Alright, we will face the Nangong family sooner or later.

When that time comes, I will help you get your revenge.”

“I believe you.”

Li Xunying followed closely, and together with Lu Chuan, they arrived at the gates of the Inner City.

At the gate, upon seeing Lu Chuan, the two guards immediately opened the large doors without hesitation, not daring to show the slightest delay.

“Welcome, Young Master Lu.”

Although Lu Chuan had killed Wan Changdong, the City Lord of the Inner City, it did not provoke the gate guards’ enmity.

On the contrary, it made them respect him even more.

This was the law of the jungle and the respect for strength in the Kunlun Domain.

As long as one’s power was strong enough, respect could be earned.

After entering, Lu Chuan saw that the place was bustling.

In the distant training ground, many people were moving back and forth.

Tables were arranged.

Both the City Guards and the various influentials of the city had come together, converging in this place, just to give face to Su Qianming.

He was the controller of the largest martial arts hall in Forest City and also the one who was about to become the City Lord.

Therefore, these people respected Su Qianming greatly.

Lu Chuan walked towards the training ground.

Seeing Lu Chuan, Su Qianming, who was busy in the distance, promptly ran over with quick steps.

“Young Master Lu, you’ve arrived!”

“You are our honored guest, a person I respect the most.

With your arrival, I feel reassured!”

He took a deep breath, his nervousness instantly dissipated.

Lu Chuan’s presence had become his calming elixir.

“Let’s go, take me to my seat.”

Immediately taking the lead, Su Qianming guided Lu Chuan to the foremost table.

“Please sit here, it’s closest to the main stage.”

After seating Lu Chuan, he quickly went up to the stage, took up a megaphone, and shouted to the crowd.

“Most of you are gathered here already.

Some of you are the influential figures of Forest City, others are the tough and powerful City Guards.

You all are the elite of Forest City, the core figures.”

“Today, I am very pleased that you all could grace my event.

Among the City Guards seated here, some are my former disciples who trained in my martial arts hall.

We are all old acquaintances.”

“Everyone knows that the City Lord of Forest City, Wan Changdong, has recently passed away, and the position is currently vacant.

Today, I will take over Forest City.

I will be the City Lord.

The purpose of this banquet is to hope for everyone’s support.

Your support is my motivation.”

He spoke excitedly, while the expressions of the people below varied.

A portion of the City Guards evidently did not buy into his speech and even showed signs of disgust.
