Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 930 - 930 890 The Schemer

930: Chapter 890: The Schemer 930: Chapter 890: The Schemer Fan Qing’s words made Lu Chuan fall into deep contemplation.

In the Fan clan, there were actually people who could bring the Divine Tree’s branches back to the original owner.

Wasn’t the original owner the Divine Tree itself?

Did that fellow know where the Divine Tree was located?

The source of the branch, the Divine Tree itself, had become an unsolved mystery in Lu Chuan’s heart.

He really wanted to see what the Divine Tree looked like one day.

But he had not had any chance so far.

But now, an opportunity had literally come knocking on his door.

Lu Chuan looked at Fan Qing and said, “Could you bring that person from your clan here after you return?”

“Our clan’s scholar?

I don’t know if I can bring him back; he probably won’t listen to me.

He is a noble sage in our clan, all-knowing and wise, master of ancient and modern times, versed in astronomy and geography.

And me?

I am just a leader of a wandering merchant convoy.”

“There are many convoy leaders like me in our clan, but wise scholars like him are few and far between.”

“If you want to meet him, how about this?

In a couple of days, we will start our journey back.

You can come with us.

Although the journey may be long, well…

we two can ride fast horses and speed up.”

After pondering for a moment, Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “No problem, we’ll see when the time comes.

Right now, I have other things to do and probably can’t go to your place for the time being.”

Fan Qing shrugged helplessly, “Alright then, I hope we can meet again in the future.”

“By the way, when you take this item back, you can check the goods first.

This has always been our business philosophy, letting the customer inspect the goods before payment is feasible.”

He said cheerfully.

Lu Chuan looked down at the box in his hand and said, “I can inspect the goods right now.”

Lu Chuan placed the box on the table next to him, opened the box, and took out the branch.

Then, he took out the Spirit Communication Twig from his bosom and connected one end to the trunk.

Lu Chuan began to quietly absorb the Spiritual Energy within.

At one end of the Spirit Communication Twig, flowers blossomed, and Spiritual Energy continuously emerged from within.

Lu Chuan placed his palm on the flowers and began to absorb the Spiritual Energy as usual.

But just then, a sudden surge of intense Spiritual Energy violently struck, spouting from the flowers and even shattering several petals.

Whoosh!!!

A torrent of Fierce Spiritual Energy burst forth, flowing through the Spirit Vein in Lu Chuan’s palm and rushing into his body.

Lu Chuan’s brows furrowed tightly as he felt a sharp pain in his arm and hurriedly withdrew it.

At the same time, he felt the Fierce Spiritual Energy wandering relentlessly inside his body, damaging his flesh throughout.

His whole body was in piercing pain, causing Lu Chuan unbearable agony.

“Ah!!”

Lu Chuan shouted in anger, quickly gathering the Spiritual Energy within his body to suppress the wild Spiritual Energy.

“Quick, what are you doing standing there?

Act now!

If we miss this opportunity, there won’t be another!”,

“This guy has fallen into our trap; we’ve succeeded!

Act quickly, the reward this time is amazingly rich!

We’re going to strike it rich!”

Fan Qing shouted excitedly.

Sweat dripped down Lu Chuan’s forehead, and the pain in his body made his eyes weak.

He vaguely saw Fan Qing’s figure as he gathered his convoy members, all of them raising their weapons and attacking Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan quickly gathered the Nine Heavens Profound Fire within his body, instantly healing the injuries throughout his body.

Lu Chuan abruptly opened his eyes, glaring furiously at Fan Qing in front of him.

“Bastard, you’re courting death!!”

Lu Chuan roared.

Fan Qing’s sprinting steps suddenly halted, his gaze shifting towards Lu Chuan, his eyebrows furrowing tightly.

“You…

you’re alright?

Impossible, no one can withstand the assault of such fierce spiritual energy.

How did you manage that?”

“Captain!

This isn’t how we planned it, how can he be fine as if nothing happened?”

“Boss, what should we do now?

Should we continue fighting?”

“Weren’t we on the verge of success?

Why did it turn out this way?”

Fan Qing and the people behind him were all dumbfounded, staring at Lu Chuan with astonishment, completely clueless as to why he had suddenly recovered.

“What exactly did you do?

By all means, you should have passed out by now!”

He pointed at Lu Chuan with a face full of disbelief, utterly incredulous.

Lu Chuan quickly walked towards him.

“Tell me, who sent you!

Daring to target me, you’re seeking your death!”

Lu Chuan rushed forward, and before Fan Qing could even take a defensive stance, Lu Chuan had swiftly grabbed him by the neck.

“Err…

Ah!”

“Let me go!

Let me go, I know I was wrong!”

With the grip on his neck, Lu Chuan let him instantly realize the enormous disparity in strength between them.

Fan Qing immediately lost all will to resist, merely struggling in hopes that Lu Chuan would show mercy.

“Speak!

Who sent you?

Are you after that divine tree branch on me?”

Lu Chuan demanded sternly.

“I…

I’ll tell you…

just let me go first.”

With a casual flick, Lu Chuan’s tremendous strength sent him flying!

Bang!!!

Fan Qing’s body smashed into a wooden table, which instantly shattered.

Lu Chuan continued to walk towards him, the members of the merchant group standing nearby were all trembling, not daring to look at Lu Chuan directly.

Lu Chuan reached Fan Qing, crouching beside him, and looked at the bloodied Fan Qing.

“Confess honestly, I’ll spare your life; otherwise, I’ll ensure you die a painful death in the most excruciating manner possible.”

Lu Chuan’s words sent a shiver through Fan Qing’s body, who hurriedly said, “Young Master Lu, I was wrong.

Please forgive me, I won’t work for that person anymore.”

“Speak, what’s his name?”

“He…

his name is Su Changyue.

I only know his name; I don’t know where he comes from or what his capabilities are.”

“Su Changyue?

Is he a man or a woman?”

“It seems…

she’s a woman, I think.

I couldn’t see her face, only heard her voice.

She must be a woman, tall, wearing a black long skirt, and her voice very cold.”

“Su Changyue?

I don’t recognize anyone with the surname Su.

Where did you meet this woman?”

“I was selling things in Tiannan City when she found me.

She set up a plan for me, told me to follow it.

If successful, I would get a huge sum of money, allowing me to return home early.

If it failed, I would die.”

“Is everything you’ve said the truth?

No omissions at all?”

Fan Qing quickly said in panic, “That’s all there is, the complete truth.

I’ve told all I could.

That branch, it’s just a fake, made to look like the real thing.”

“Others don’t recognize it, but you do, so…

you must be the target.”

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, “Su Changyue…

another one after the Divine Tree branch, interesting.

It seems I need to find her and get some answers.”
