Chapter 898 - 898 858 Father's Old Acquaintance

898: Chapter 858: Father’s Old Acquaintance 898: Chapter 858: Father’s Old Acquaintance In the dark room, Lu Chuan stared intently at Nangong Lingya.

“When I mentioned Martial Saint Realm Grade 3, why did you get so agitated?

And even claimed that a Grade 3 Martial Saint could cripple me?”

“Could it be…”

Nangong Lingya’s laughter stopped, and she turned her head away, no longer willing to look at Lu Chuan.

“Your father’s strength, it isn’t Martial Saint Realm Grade 3, is it?”

Lu Chuan asked.

Nangong Lingya still turned her head away, unwilling to look at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan sneered, “So it is, that Nangong Tian’s strength is Martial Saint Realm Grade 3.

Now, I have a clear picture.”

“You should also stop fantasizing about a Grade 3 Martial Saint thrashing me.

That’s not possible, unless father and son both take the field together, otherwise, it’s just delivering themselves to death.”

“Nonsense, I don’t believe you have that confidence to challenge my father by crossing over two minor realm levels!”

She turned her head back, looking at Lu Chuan, her eyes becoming resolute as if pinning all her hopes on Nangong Tian.

“Crossing two minor realms is indeed difficult, especially within the ranks of the Martial Saint Realm.”

“Under normal circumstances, I would be beaten into a panicked retreat by a strong Grade 3 Martial Saint, without any power to fight back.”

“But those are normal conditions; there are exceptions.”

“For ordinary people, if there’s no external enhancement, then it’s indeed as described, but humans are complex, and their experiences and make-up are complex.”

“Although my strength is that of Martial Saint Realm Grade 1, the added value I carry allows a greater degree of variability.”

“So don’t worry, your father will be defeated by my hand, and moreover, he might not even dare to fight me, given that you are still here.”

Nangong Lingya suddenly became anxious and shouted loudly, “If you’re capable, fight my father like a man, instead of using me to blackmail him!”

She shouted worriedly, fearing she would become a burden to her father.

“I’m done talking nonsense with you, just wait for my results.

If he’s sensible, I’ll bring him back alive; if he’s not, I’ll bring back his head.”

“You’ll see him sooner or later.”

Lu Chuan got up and walked out of the dark room.

Watching Lu Chuan’s retreating figure, Nangong Lingya felt incredibly anxious, trapped in the dark environment, unable to do anything or provide any help.

After Lu Chuan walked out, he saw a carriage slowly making its way in.

The five-horse carriage wouldn’t even fit in the courtyard; one of the carriages had to stop outside the gate.

Servants from the Dongfang family hurriedly unloaded the wealth from the carriage.

Dongfang Cheng and Dongfang Ming stood by, unable to contain their smiles as they looked at the gleaming gold, drooling.

After Lu Chuan approached, the two quickly looked towards him.

“Young Master Lu, I have been in Beihe City for many years and have never seen such wealth before.

The Nangong family truly is wealthy,” he exclaimed.

Although the Dongfang family’s strength was many times greater than that of the Nangong family.

But what does that have to do with Dongfang Residence in Beihe City?

Living in Beihe City, Dongfang Ming had never seen so much wealth come in, which filled his face with smiles.

Lu Chuan looked at Dongfang Cheng and said, “When I came to Beihe City, I asked you about the existence of Lu Family Manor here in the city.”

“Take me there to see.”

Dongfang Ming looked at Lu Chuan and laughed, “Ah, that Lu Manor isn’t even comparable to our Dongfang Residence, it’s even smaller, hardly worth mentioning.”

“Inside Beihe City, any small family is stronger than they are.”

“Although they are associated with the Kunlun Domain’s Lu family, honestly, the connection really isn’t significant anymore.”

“The intelligence regularly reported to the Lu Family Main Residence was rejected several times, and the resources given to them were pitifully scarce.”

Lu Chuan asked curiously, “Why is that?

Is it because the development here at Lu Manor is unfavorable?”

“It’s not exactly unfavorable,” continued Fang Cheng.

“Several of their business operations were quite good, but they got suppressed, and that’s why things turned out this way.”

“Alas, there’s no helping it,” he confessed.

“Honestly, our Dongfang Residence in Beihe City has never had any conflicts with this Lu Manor; we’re like brothers in hardship, but their situation is much more difficult than ours.”

Dongfang Ming sighed.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “I understand.

I’ll go have a look.

Their suppression might be due to other reasons.”

Dongfang Cheng followed Lu Chuan as the two walked out of the door, heading toward Lu Manor along the street.

Using the map of Beihe City, the pair made their way to the location of Lu Manor.

Lu Manor was located in a remote corner of City South.

This area was quite desolate with hardly any pedestrian traffic, and even fewer families ventured this way.

They could see a large expanse of wasteland nearby.

Lu Chuan followed the broken stone path to the entrance of Lu Manor.

There wasn’t even a guard at the entrance, and one of the double doors had a crack in it.

Lu Chuan stepped forward and cautiously pushed open the great door of Lu Manor.

Squeak…

The old, decaying door was slowly pushed open, creating a noise that was headache-inducing.

Lu Chuan stepped inside and saw several children playing in the courtyard.

In the center of the courtyard stood a withered tree, and nearby on a stone table and chairs, two elderly men were playing chess.

“Hey, who is in charge here?”

Lu Chuan shouted.

The playing children stopped in their tracks, and the chess-playing elders lifted their furrowed brows, turning their heads toward Lu Chuan.

Clang!

The main house’s door was pushed open, and a tall figure strode out quickly.

“Who comes visiting, state your name!”

The man approaching was a middle-aged man dressed in a simple gray robe, his eyes bright and piercing as he stared at the two visitors, Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng.

“My name is Lu Chuan; you should have heard of me.”

“Lu Chuan…”

He suddenly lowered his head, sinking into a moment of deep thought.

“Lu Chuan…

this name sounds extremely familiar.

I’ve definitely heard it before, it seems…”

Dongfang Cheng quickly interjected with a smile, “The name Lu Chuan is now well-known in Beihe City, isn’t it?

It would be impossible not to know.”

The man abruptly looked up, “I know your name, but not from hearing it in Beihe City, but rather during my time at the Lu Family Main Residence!”

“Is your father Lu Cangsheng?”

Lu Chuan paused for a moment, then nodded, “Yes, that’s correct, my father is Lu Cangsheng!”

“Hahaha!

That’s right, I remember you now; I even knew your father, though not very well.”

“But I remember him vividly.”

“Your father was a good man, alas, he was wronged by traitors, labeled as the family’s castaway, and banished to the secular world!”

“Who could have imagined that one day, the son of Lu Cangsheng would travel thousands of miles from the secular world to Kunlun Domain, and even stand before me here…

This…

this is truly a miracle!”

His eyes widened as he exclaimed in astonishment.
