Chapter 927 - 927 887 Travelling Merchants

927: Chapter 887: Travelling Merchants 927: Chapter 887: Travelling Merchants Lu Chuan stood up, ready to return to his room to rest.

“Did you go to the Tiger Head Mountain Hot Spring today?” Lu Tianyu asked.

“Yes, I did make a trip there.”

“Did you have a breakthrough in your realm?”

Lu Tianyu looked at Lu Chuan with anticipation on his face.

When Lu Chuan had fought against Nangong Tian, it was clear that, in terms of basic strength, Lu Chuan was no match for Nangong Tian.

In the end, it was by resorting to an unexpected tactic that he managed to kill Nangong Tian.

But such tactics, being unexpected, couldn’t be used repeatedly.

Without properly honing his fundamental strength, it just wouldn’t do.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Of course I had a breakthrough, and it went quite smoothly, mainly because I prepared thoroughly.”

“After the battle with Nangong Tian, I already felt the time was ripe for a breakthrough in my realm, so even though it was somewhat painful today, I still managed to successfully complete the breakthrough.”

Lu Tianyu nodded with a relieved smile, “It’s good that you’ve had the breakthrough.

The stronger your power, the better it is for Lu Manor.”

“However, you should still be aware that, with your current strength, if you were to fight Lu Fusheng, you would still be far from a match.”

“If not for the Dongfang family lying dormant for decades and then rising up again to restrain the Lu family, you’d probably be in danger by now.

You’ve made a name for yourself here, and it won’t be long before your reputation spreads far and wide.”

“Sometimes, having too big of a reputation is not a good thing.”

Lu Chuan patted Lu Tianyu on the shoulder, “You don’t need to worry about Lu Fusheng.

That’s not your concern.

Just focus on managing Lu Manor properly.”

Lu Chuan walked towards the eastern wing, opened the door to his room, and went in to rest.

Lu Tianyu took a deep breath.

Despite the pressure in his heart, he couldn’t let it affect him.

Right now, their Lu Manor was on the brink of swallowing everything up to become the preeminent aristocratic family in Beihe City.

At this critical point, the more attentively he managed everything, the better the results would be.

Early the next morning, there were still many visitors at the gates of Lu Manor.

Early on, there was already a long queue at the gate.

How business would be conducted in Beihe City, how it would be managed, all depended on the mood of the Lu family.

If they weren’t eager to come and seek cooperation, they would just have to wait and be phased out.

Lu Chuan got up early in the morning and left Lu Manor.

He continued to act as always, taking on the role of an absent manager.

His responsibility was to conquer territories, not to manage them.

Lu Chuan arrived at Dongfang Residence and found it to be bustling with activity as well.

There were also many visitors in the courtyard.

Thanks to this, the Dongfang family’s status in Beihe City had greatly improved.

In the past, the Lu family and Dongfang family were bitter enemies, but the situation was different now.

The Lu family under Lu Chuan’s control had become a partner of the Dongfang family.

After Lu Chuan entered the courtyard, Dongfang Cheng saw him and hurried over eagerly.

His face couldn’t hide the joy as he walked over quickly and exclaimed cheerfully, “Young Master Lu, you’ve arrived!”

He smiled at Lu Chuan, the smile on his face incredibly bright.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “It seems quite lively here too.”

“Indeed, these opportunists follow whoever is in power, all trying to make a living.”

Lu Chuan gestured for them to find a chair in the corner to sit down.

“I’ve had a breakthrough to the Transcendent Realm Grade 2 yesterday, which equates to the strength of Martial Saint Realm Grade 2.”

“Now, if I were to fight Nangong Tian again, he wouldn’t have the slightest advantage over me.”

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “Congratulations, you’ve successfully broken through the Realm.

It’s extremely difficult to achieve a breakthrough at the Martial Saint Realm.”

“Lu Chuan, what do you plan to do next?

Head to Tiannan City?”

“That’s a big city, not like Beihe City.

The distribution of power there is much more complicated.

The Nangong family is only considered top-tier there.

They’re certainly strong, but the other families are not weak either.”

“This Nangong Qianying will definitely not spare me, and naturally, I won’t spare him either.

Sooner or later, I will have to fight him.”

“Why not take the initiative to strike and look for opportunities instead of falling into a passive position?”

Lu Chuan looked up at Dongfang Cheng and asked, “Do you know about the Liang family in Tiannan City?”

“This…

I really don’t know.

I don’t know much about Tiannan City.

Our Dongfang family has no influence there, and I am almost completely ignorant about the situation there.

I’ve never even been.”

Lu Chuan continued to ask, “What about the Lu family?

Do they also have no power in Tiannan City?”

“No, that place has its own warlords, an independent army that controls Tiannan City and the surrounding towns.”

“It’s difficult for external forces to get involved.

If the Lu family and the Dongfang family wanted to intervene, they would inevitably have to fight them.”

“For both families, the gains from conquering that area aren’t significant enough, so they gave up on that region.”

Lu Chuan was almost completely ignorant of the layout of Tiannan City, and Dongfang Cheng knew very little as well.

If the two of them don’t reach Tiannan City, all they can do is make baseless speculations here.

“We still need to go there, to see on-site what the situation in Tiannan City is really like.”

“No problem, do you plan to leave soon?”

Dongfang Cheng asked.

“If there’s nothing else I need to do, then I might as well leave in the next couple of days, to prevent that old man from making too many preparations.”

“Now, I don’t know whether Li Xunying is alive or dead, but regardless of his life or death, I will completely annihilate the Nangong family.”

“Recently, a group of travelling merchants arrived outside the city.

They are said to have spent a lot of money to buy the temporary rights to operate Heaven’s Blessing Auction, which was once run by the Nangong family.”

“They’re planning to hold an auction in Beihe City, selling some of the treasures they carry with them.”

Dongfang Cheng continued to ask, “Don’t you want to take a look?”

Lu Chuan hesitated for a moment, pondered, and then nodded, “Is that so?

Then let’s go have a look.”

“I’m currently in need of martial arts skills and equipment.

If I can find some equipment to improve my strength, that would be good.”

“No problem, the first auction starts tonight.

We can go there in the evening to see what’s happening.

The goods sold by the travelling merchants are of varying quality; it’s uncertain whether we can find anything worthwhile.”

Then, the two chatted idly in the courtyard for a while.

As evening approached, and there were fewer visitors in the courtyard,

Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng stood up, preparing to leave.

At this moment, Dongfang Ming came over with a smile.

“Whew!

Today was really busy, almost killed me.”

“Young Master Lu, this is all your doing.

It’s my first time being so assertive in front of the nobles of Beihe City.”

Dongfang Ming said with a beaming smile, his face radiant.

“What are you two planning to do now?

It’s almost time for dinner.”

Dongfang Cheng said with a smile, “Didn’t the travelling merchants arrive these past few days?

We’re going to see what they’re selling.”

“Is that so?

Then let’s go have a look.

There are probably lots of good things.

We’re not short on money now, so we can buy whatever we want!”
