Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 895 - 895 855 Both Captured

895: Chapter 855: Both Captured 895: Chapter 855: Both Captured After Lu Chuan finished speaking, someone immediately came over and grabbed Nangong Lingya’s shoulders, forcibly restraining her body.

“Let go of me, you’re not worthy to touch my body, how dare you!”

She shouted loudly, but no matter how much she struggled, she couldn’t break free from the bind.

Dongfang Ming stood by, his nerves at this moment, incredibly strained.

“Young Master Lu, this Nangong Lingya is no ordinary person.

If we even bind her, the issue will be blown out of proportion!”

Lu Chuan replied indifferently, “Let it escalate then, it doesn’t matter.

I only have one goal, and that is to force Nangong Qianying out, kill him, and fulfill my purpose!”

“Go, take this fellow to the small dark room, and don’t let them be detained together!”

Lu Chuan commanded, and the servant hurriedly bowed and said, “Yes!”

Immediately, Nangong Lingya was escorted to the small dark room.

Dongfang Ming nervously swallowed, “If this gets out, it’s going to cause an uproar in the entire city!”

“By the way, there are also a lot of Nangong family’s guards surrounding the city outside, how should we deal with them?”

Lu Chuan scoffed, “Do you expect these salaried men to work hard for their lives?

Tell them to either scram back or queue up and fight me.

Let them choose one of the two options!”

Dongfang Ming nodded and chuckled, “No problem.

I guess, no one would dare to fight.”

He sprinted out of the residence’s gate and shouted at the people guarding the streets, “Everyone, please return home, your master will be staying here for a while!”

At this moment, a few guards quickly ran over.

“Dongfang Ming, what do you mean by that?

Staying for a few days?

Where is Miss Nangong?”

“Let her out quickly, what have you done to her?”

“Is your Dongfang family going to declare war on our Nangong family?”

Dongfang Ming spread his hands helplessly and said with a smile, “I’m really sorry, gentlemen, but Young Master Lu Chuan and your Miss Nangong need to have a heart-to-heart talk, and she will be staying here for a few days.

If you do not accept this and wish to force your way in, that’s not impossible.”

“However, in that case, you’ll have to fight a battle with Young Master Lu.

If you win, you may take people away, but if you lose, you’ll leave your lives behind.”

Upon hearing these words, the bodies of the guards were taken aback.

“What?

Fight with Lu Chuan?

This…

this must be a joke.”

“How could we possibly defeat him?

Isn’t that just marching to our deaths?”

“Let’s forget about it.

Since Miss Nangong is going to stay here for a few days, we’ll head back first.

When she’s ready to return, just let us know, and we will come to escort her.”

Hearing Dongfang Ming’s words, these people wisely stepped down the stairs and walked away with sheepish grins.

After sending these people away, Dongfang Ming returned to the residence.

He quickly approached Dongfang Cheng and anxiously asked, “This situation seems to be escalating, what should we do next?”

“Hasn’t it already escalated?

Will the addition of Nangong Lingya make much difference?”

“You just relax, Lu Chuan will handle it.

The Nangong family has gone too far, putting no regard for us.

Lu Chuan’s counterattack is justified.”

“The real problem now is their refusal to see reason, they definitely won’t release the person, and I even suspect that the captured Li Xunying may already be dead.”

Dongfang Ming’s eyes widened in shock, “Then…

if this person is dead, what will be the outcome?”

“With Lu Chuan’s character, I believe the Nangong family is headed for doom.”

Dongfang Ming took a deep breath, “This is too far-fetched.

The Nangong family has dominated the surrounding cities for decades, becoming invincible.

Could it really be wiped out by Lu Chuan’s hands?”

“I think it’s very unlikely.”

Dongfang Ming sighed; he knew more about the Nangong family’s strength than Dongfang Cheng and Lu Chuan, so he didn’t believe that Lu Chuan alone could contend with such a massive family force.

The disparity between them was too great.

Even with the addition of his Dongfang Residence, the hope would likely be slim.

Dongfang Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, “You don’t understand Lu Chuan, and I don’t understand the Nangong family.

Right now, we can’t see eye to eye.

But soon, we will witness the outcome.”

“Let’s wait and see what happens.

With these two younger members of the Nangong family captured, the old men of the Nangong family must be restless by now!”

Dongfang Cheng said with a smile, free from any pressure.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Ming was now under immense pressure, often sighing heavily.

At this moment, Lu Chuan arrived at the dark cell where Nangong Teng was being held.

He had maintained his slumped sitting position for an entire night.

Only when he saw Lu Chuan pushing the door open did he reluctantly raise his head.

He couldn’t accept the huge fall from grace, so he had completely let himself go in this dark cell.

Before coming out of seclusion, he had fantasized countless times about his free and comfortable life in Beihe City.

However, his very first battle after leaving the mountain had brought him such a devastating blow.

He couldn’t bear the enormous disparity; after three years of secluded cultivation, he even dabbled with evil influences to break through to the next realm.

After putting in so much effort, to be beaten up in his first fight out of seclusion was a shock that nearly shattered his spirit.

“Lu Chuan, what are you doing here?

Kill or slash, do as you please!” he said weakly.

“Aren’t you afraid of dying?

Cultivating to your realm is not easy,” Lu Chuan said.

He gritted his teeth and replied, “I cannot face my family.

I’ve consumed so many resources and exerted so much effort, yet I still couldn’t protect the family.

I am a failure!”

His tone was filled with pain, his voice incredibly low.

“I’m here to tell you,” Lu Chuan began, “your sister Nangong Lingya…

she’s been captured.”

“By me,” Lu Chuan said flatly.

Nangong Teng suddenly looked up at Lu Chuan, “You captured her as well?

If you harm her in any way, I will never forgive you!”

Lu Chuan couldn’t help but laugh, “You’re in this state, yet you still threaten me with tough words.

That’s bold.”

“I haven’t touched your sister, but if you don’t release the captive, I’ll make sure both of you die together.”

Nangong Teng took a deep breath, “Asking my grandfather to release someone is out of the question.

Whoever he means to kill must die.

He will not compromise.”

“He’s a very obstinate man.

Once he’s set on something, no one can change his mind.

Asking him to release someone is almost like asking for his life.”

Lu Chuan responded disdainfully, “This old man has quite a personality.

But it doesn’t matter.

If he doesn’t release the captive, I’ll kill both of you—a grandson and a granddaughter.

I don’t believe he can be so heartless.

If he kills that person, I will annihilate the entire Nangong family.”

“I mean what I say, and I’m giving a two-day deadline.

If I don’t see Nangong Qianying within two days, you and your sister are as good as dead.

But rest assured, before the two of you die, I’ll let you see each other.”

Lu Chuan walked towards the door, and before leaving, he said indifferently, “If I can’t handle one Nangong family, how am I supposed to deal with the Lu family?

This is a lesson I must learn.”
