Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 894 - 894 854 Meeting for Negotiation

894: Chapter 854: Meeting for Negotiation 894: Chapter 854: Meeting for Negotiation The Nangong family paid an early visit to the Dongfang Residence, which attracted many onlookers.

In Beihe City now, the most talked about matter was the feud between Lu Chuan and the Nangong family.

It had almost become a topic they had to discuss after meals.

After all, this matter was very important to everyone in Beihe City.

Early on, the street in front of the Dongfang Residence was controlled by the Nangong family, and not a single passerby could be seen.

Over a hundred guards from the Nangong Residence came out and surrounded the Dongfang Residence.

Around the Dongfang Residence, there were almost only Nangong family members; escaping from here was extremely difficult.

After a long while, a lavish carriage slowly approached.

When the carriage door opened, the figure of Nangong Lingya emerged and walked into the Dongfang Residence along the stone-paved road.

She slowly walked through the main entrance.

She was dressed in a pristine, tightly fitted long gown, looking very exquisite, her makeup beautiful and her expression serene.

She slowly walked into the courtyard and saw the figure of Lu Chuan.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on her face.

“Young Master Lu, it has been a long time since our last meeting, near Forest City.”

After she entered, her eyes were fixed only on Lu Chuan, completely ignoring the two people beside her.

“Yes, last time we had a nice chat, yet you turned around and set me up, I remember it very clearly.”

Lu Chuan said with a smile.

“I think there may be some misunderstandings between us.”

“Trying to smooth things over now isn’t possible, let’s face the issue!”

Lu Chuan stared directly at Nangong Lingya and continued, “If you release your captives, I will do the same.

If you don’t, neither will I.”

Nangong Lingya sighed helplessly, “I really am powerless, your people are not with me, what do I have to release them with?

Isn’t this asking too much of me?”

She said with great difficulty.

Lu Chuan shook his head and laughed, clearly not believing her words.

“Stop the nonsense, my stance is very simple: If you release your captives, I will release mine, I’m giving you one day.

If you don’t, I’ll kill Nangong Teng!”

These words frightened Nangong Lingya so much she stepped back several paces and her face turned pale.

“You mustn’t kill Nangong Teng, that would be a grave mistake!”

With his hands behind his back, Lu Chuan said disdainfully, “I know this guy is important in your family, but in my eyes, he is just an ordinary person.

What does it matter if I kill him?”

“But, I can’t accomplish anything in one day!

Even sending a message through the Myriad Realms Bird takes half a day, let alone transporting people over, which takes even more time!”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “So you mean to say, you can’t meet my demands within one day?”

Nangong Lingya continued, “How about this, give me five days, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory reply!”

Dongfang Ming looked at Lu Chuan and said, “Give her four days to handle things, there’s no need for this to escalate further.”

“Four days are not acceptable either, just one day.

Any more is out of the question!”

Lu Chuan’s attitude was very firm, giving Nangong Lingya no room to maneuver.

“One day is really not enough!

What can I do in such a short time?

I can’t do anything!

If you sincerely want to resolve this conflict with me, then I will resolve it, but if you keep making things difficult for me, it is very hard for me!”

She said very firmly, “One day is absolutely not enough for me.”

Lu Chuan looked at her, shook his head helplessly, “I see you are quite dishonest.

You didn’t come here today just to waste time with me, did you?”

“Coming here to waste enough time to facilitate a revenge attack on me, right?”

Lu Chuan sneered, “I’m no saint.

Being able to spare Nangong Teng’s life is already giving him enough face.

Now you’re still trying to bargain.

I’ll tell you straight, it’s not possible!”

Lu Chuan spoke absolutely resolutely, giving Nangong Lingya no room to maneuver.

Nangong Lingya took a deep breath, feeling extremely troubled.

She had thought that by coming to negotiate with Lu Chuan, she could at least delay for four or five days.

That way, she would have enough time to bring reinforcements from her father and save both herself and Nangong Teng.

However, Lu Chuan was utterly resolute, not giving any chance at all!

Seeing her dejected look, Lu Chuan knew that he had guessed right.

This woman had indeed come just to stall for time.

She would definitely not easily compromise and beg for mercy.

Lu Chuan sneered, “If I don’t see anyone tonight, you can come and collect Nangong Teng’s corpse!”

Nangong Lingya looked up at Lu Chuan, gritted her teeth, and said, “You dare!

Do you know what the consequences of killing him would be?”

“What consequences should I still fear?

Enough talk.

If I don’t see anyone tonight, come and collect the body.

Stop wasting my time!”

“Do you think the Nangong family is so weak in your eyes?

My father, my grandfather, who is currently in seclusion—their strength, have you heard of it?”

“If you dare to kill Nangong Teng, then you are definitely dead!

Do you really think that by capturing Nangong Teng, you can control everything about the Nangong family?”

Nangong Lingya clenched her small fists, continued saying, “Just you wait, you are definitely dead!

I will absolutely not forgive you!”

She swung her fist at the air in anger, then turned around to leave the place.

Lu Chuan looked towards Dongfang Cheng, “Go, close the door!”

Dongfang Cheng was startled, quickly asked, “For real?”

“Nonsense, of course it’s real.

Go and close the door!”

At this, Nangong Lingya stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at Lu Chuan, her eyes widening unbelievably.

“What are you trying to do?

Want to lock me up too?

Have you asked the Nangong family people outside?

They absolutely won’t agree!”

She shouted angrily.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Cheng rushed to the door and shut it.

Nangong Lingya stood still, continuously retreating, her eyes warily watching Lu Chuan.

“You’re insane!

The Nangong family’s Guard Squad is all here, if you don’t let me out, they will absolutely not spare you!”

Lu Chuan responded nonchalantly, “I’m not afraid.

Let them all come, I can take them all down by myself, but they probably don’t have the guts to come meet their deaths.

Now that I’ve captured you, isn’t the Nangong family in Beihe City effectively unattended?”

“Taking over your Nangong Residence is not entirely out of the question.”

Lu Chuan said, stroking his chin.

Nangong Lingya immediately widened her eyes, “No way!

You can’t step one foot into Nangong Residence!”

“That’s my territory!”

She immediately became anxious, but now she stood alone inside the Dongfang Residence, the few guards who had followed her in already subdued, making her look extremely helpless.

“From today onwards, you and Nangong Teng will be locked up here until Nangong Qianying shows herself.

Only then will I consider releasing you both!”
