Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 88 - 88 88 Matricidal Enemy_1

88: Chapter 88 Matricidal Enemy_1 88: Chapter 88 Matricidal Enemy_1 Lu Chuan opened the envelope with some excitement, pulling out the letter inside.

When he saw the first line, his pupils shrank violently.

“Chuan’er, by the time you read this letter, I will already be dead.

The murderer who killed me is Long Tianya.”

The name Long Tianya pierced into Lu Chuan’s chest like a needle.

“Long Tianya killed my mother?”

Lu Chuan’s breathing suddenly became rapid.

He tried to suppress the turmoil in his heart and continued to read on.

“Your grandfather and father disappeared suddenly, and I was also hunted by Long Tianya.

I had no choice but to send you to the orphanage.”

“I don’t know the reason Long Tianya was after me, but I have some speculations.

It’s likely that it has something to do with my background.”

“I come from the Luo family, one of Capital City’s Three Great Noble Families.

When your father and I were together, we faced strong opposition from the family, but I still resolutely followed your father and thus broke ties with the Luo family.”

“I was supposed to have severed relations with the Luo family and they shouldn’t have laid a hand on me, but I discovered during a secret investigation that Long Tianya once worked for the Luo family.”

“I don’t know if Long Tianya’s pursuit of me is related to the Luo family, nor do I know the reasons behind it.

I’m leaving this letter in hopes that, if possible, you could investigate this for me and find out the truth, so that I can rest peacefully after death.”

Reaching this point, Lu Chuan felt an indescribable shock.

He had never imagined that his own mother came from one of Capital City’s Three Great Noble Families—the Luo family.

That was an immense power that could stir up storms throughout all of Cathay!

“Even if my mother broke off ties with the Luo family, they should not have been so heartless as to send someone to kill her.

The reason behind it must be more complicated than I thought.”

Lu Chuan took a deep breath and continued reading.

The rest of the letter contained Luo Yunshang’s feelings of guilt and self-reproach towards Lu Chuan, along with the hope that he could have a wonderful life.

After finishing the letter, Lu Chuan was full of emotions.

Even though his memories of his mother were very vague, through the emotions conveyed between the lines of the letter, he could still feel his mother’s love for him.

Then a fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself, “Long Tianya, I never imagined my mother would die by your hand.

You truly deserve to die!”

Originally, the feud between Lu Chuan and Long Tianya was based on Chu Mengyao.

He had gotten involved with Chu Mengyao and, out of a sense of reparation towards her, he intended to confront Long Hao and Long Tianya to help her escape her manipulated fate.

But now that Long Tianya had become the murderer of his mother, their hatred had reached an irreconcilable point.

He had to kill Long Tianya to avenge his mother and he had to get the reasons for killing her from Long Tianya’s mouth, to bring peace to her in the underworld!

Qin Lan and Zhou Shufen trembled with fear at the sudden outburst of murderous aura from Lu Chuan.

“I…

I have already given you your mother’s keepsakes, can you let me go now?” asked Qin Lan, terrified.

With a cold snort, Lu Chuan put away the letter and said coldly to Qin Lan, “If you ever act foolishly again, I will show no mercy!”

With that, he turned and left the place.

Qin Lan collapsed on the ground, thoroughly relieved.

…

In the back garden of a luxurious mansion.

In the pavilion.

Long Tianya was playing chess with a middle-aged man dressed in black, with a streak of white hair at each temple.

This man was none other than Yun Zhonghe, the foremost unparalleled expert among Cloud City’s ten greatest masters.

Yun Zhonghe made a move and said indifferently, “Lew Qing is dead, killed by a young man named Lu Chuan.”

“Lu Chuan?” Long Tianya thought for a moment, feeling the name somewhat familiar, “I seem to have heard of this person.”

Yun Zhonghe continued indifferently, “Not long ago, Cao Xiong was struck by lightning and died during a duel with this man on the stage.”

Long Tianya’s eyebrows raised, “So it’s him!

This young man was once a nobody, and now even Lew Qing has died at his hands, how peculiar.”

Yun Zhonghe looked up at Long Tianya and continued, “My people also found out that this person is the child Luo Yunshang sent away years ago.”

Long Tianya’s hand, which was about to place a chess piece, froze mid-air.

He lifted his head, frowned, and looked at Yun Zhonghe, asking, “What did you say?

This Lu Chuan, is he Luo Yunshang’s son?”

Yun Zhonghe nodded, “Indeed, before Luo Yunshang died, she had sent a child to an orphanage.

At the time, we thought a six- or seven-year-old child posed no threat and dismissed it, but now he’s grown to this extent without us noticing.”

Long Tianya placed the chess piece down and spoke calmly, “Even if he killed Lew Qing, he is still just an ant in our eyes, not worth our concern.”

Yun Zhonghe said, “What if I told you that just over two months ago, this Lu Chuan was merely a delivery boy?

He’s used just over two months to transform from a worthless wretch, who could be bullied by anyone, into someone capable of killing Lew Qing.

Do you still consider him merely an ant?”

Long Tianya’s gaze sharpened, “He’s grown this fast?”

Yun Zhonghe stood up, looked towards the artificial lake and said, “Correct, even though it’s unclear how he did it, he indeed only took a little over two months to reach this level.

And if we give him one or two more years, those who become ants will be us.”

Long Tianya’s expression instantly became more somber.

He looked at Yun Zhonghe and asked, “Do you think he knows that we killed his mother?”

Yun Zhonghe turned his head and chuckled, saying, “Whether he knows or not, given your personality, would you leave such a big hidden danger by your side?”

Long Tianya pondered for a moment, then bowed slightly to Yun Zhonghe, “Brother Yun, in that case, I must trouble you to take action once more.”

Yun Zhonghe nodded, “Rest assured, I will find the right opportunity to act.”

“By the way, how is Long Hao doing?”

When Yun Zhonghe mentioned Long Hao, a smile immediately appeared on Long Tianya’s face, saying, “He broke through several days ago.”

Yun Zhonghe raised an eyebrow, asking, “Does that mean he’s coming back to prepare for his wedding?”

A mysterious smile suddenly appeared on Long Tianya’s face as he said, “There’s no rush with that.

Although he has broken through, he still needs to stay in the mountains for a while longer.”

You could see the confusion on Yun Zhonghe’s face as he asked, “Why so?”

Long Tianya laughed heartily, “Brother Yun will naturally learn of it when the time comes.

I won’t spoil it for him now.”

“Brother Yun, you should focus on how to eliminate Lu Chuan without leaving a trace.

I’ve heard from Cao Xiong’s people that this kid is quite close to the Censorate Department.

We’d best not get caught by them, otherwise it’ll be another troublesome matter.”

Yun Zhonghe did not ask further, simply nodding, “I’ll make my own judgment.”
