Chapter 941 - 941 901 Entering the City Tonight

941: Chapter 901: Entering the City Tonight 941: Chapter 901: Entering the City Tonight Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng returned to the inn by evening, and after a simple dinner, they retired to their rooms for rest.

The fellow named Zhu Meng, with his hands and feet bound, was thrown into Dongfang Cheng’s room.

Zhu Meng was relatively compliant, not struggling much, and stayed put honestly.

The next morning, after getting up, Lu Chuan joined Dongfang Cheng in the dining hall for breakfast.

Sitting at the table, Lu Chuan picked up his bowl, took a sip of porridge, then looked toward Dongfang Cheng.

“How is that fellow Zhu Meng now?”

“Still lying on the floor.

Keeping him here is useless, so might as well let him go,”

Dongfang Cheng suggested.

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Then let’s release him.

We only captured him to prevent him from sending signals to others.

Now that Su Changyue has already met us, keeping this fellow is pointless.”

“Alright, I’ll release him after I finish my meal.”

“But what next?

Shall we go to the Nangong Residence?”

“We must make a trip there; we might find some clues about Nangong Qianying there.”

“Let’s set off after we finish eating!”

Dongfang Cheng hurriedly finished his breakfast, then got up and headed upstairs.

A moment later, Zhu Meng hurriedly ran downstairs, passed by Lu Chuan, bowed in respect, and then hurriedly ran out.

Dongfang Cheng also came down the stairs and approached Lu Chuan.

“Let’s go, we’re setting off!”

Lu Chuan stood up and walked toward the door, with Dongfang Cheng following closely behind.

The two reached the door, mounted their horses, and rode toward the Nangong Residence.

The sun was bright today, the air fresh, and there were significantly more pedestrians on the streets.

Lu Chuan rode his horse to the Nangong Residence, soon arriving at the entrance.

At the entrance, two guards in armor stood.

Seeing Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng approach, they all lifted their long spears from behind, aiming at Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng.

“Who goes there?”

The two guards were very vigilant as they watched Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng.

“Open the gate, I need to enter,”

Lu Chuan said.

“State your name; otherwise, I will definitely not open the gate for you!”

He spoke assertively, showing no signs of backing down.

Lu Chuan simply smiled faintly, shook his head, and said, “My name is Lu Chuan.

Now, may I enter?”

“What…

What?”

The two guards involuntarily stepped back, their eyes wide with shock as they looked at Lu Chuan.

“You are…

Lu Chuan?

Am I hearing this right?

The Lu Chuan?”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Yes, the very Lu Chuan you know, not someone with the same name.”

“Now, open the gate.

I need to go in,”

Lu Chuan said calmly, showing no concern for the guards.

“Hey!

Quickly lower your spears.

If you accidentally hurt someone, things will be bad for you!”

Dongfang Cheng warned.

The two guards lowered their spears and stood at the gate, momentarily at a loss.

With the Family Head absent, they seemed to lack any initiative in handling matters.

“Rumors claim that you killed our Family Head?

Such an incident couldn’t possibly be true, could it?”

One of the guards mustered courage, raised his head to look at Lu Chuan, and nervously swallowed his saliva.

“The rumors you heard are true, your Nangong family’s Family Head indeed died by my hand; otherwise, I wouldn’t have had the audacity to visit your residence.”

“Now, open the gates, I don’t want to repeat myself.”

The two guards tensed up tightly and turned towards the gate, slowly pushing it open.

“That’s more like it.

Some people need to be stopped, others don’t.

You seem to have some sense of self-awareness.”

Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng rode into the residence on horseback.

Once inside the courtyard, Lu Chuan looked around.

As the top aristocratic family in Tiannan City, the family’s courtyard was indeed exquisitely luxurious, comparable even to the City Lord’s Mansion.

The air carried a faint scent of portraits, the surrounding walls were covered with artistic reliefs, and the central fountain boasted a statue of Nangong Tian, clearly revealing how exceedingly narcissistic Nangong Tian was.

After entering the courtyard, the two guards who had initially greeted him hurried away, seemingly to fetch someone.

At that moment, an old man approached Lu Chuan.

“Hello, may I ask who you are?”

He looked at Lu Chuan curiously.

“My name’s Lu Chuan, and I’ve come here as a guest.”

The old man, hunched over, looked up at Lu Chuan and asked again, “You said your name was what?”

“Lu Chuan, did you hear clearly?”

“Lu… Lu Chuan…”

He suddenly turned pale, his expression darkening.

“I…

I won’t disturb you folks.

Feel free to look around, just don’t harm us.”

The caretaker of the residence hurriedly turned and left, not daring to linger.

Seeing this, Dongfang Cheng couldn’t help but laugh, “Lu Chuan, you’ve become quite the King Yan in person.

Everyone avoids you.”

Lu Chuan shrugged helplessly, “I bear no grudge against them; I don’t know what they are so afraid of.”

“I need to clean up the Nangong family, only needing to take care of the core members, I have no interest in the weak or infirm.”

Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng dismounted their horses and walked towards a nearby pavilion.

As they neared the pavilion, everyone who had been playing nearby hurriedly left, as if avoiding Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan remained indifferent, sitting in the pavilion to rest for a moment.

After a while, the gate guard brought someone hurriedly over.

“Chief Caretaker, look, that’s him over there.

That’s Lu Chuan, the man who killed our Family Head!”

The person brought over was dressed in a magnificent robe, glaring at Lu Chuan, his teeth clenched.

“Our Nangong family’s enemy has actually brought the fight to us.

When has the Nangong family ever suffered such humiliation?

It’s utterly unacceptable!”

“Think thrice, Sir.

This fellow killed our Family Head, his strength is formidable.

We can’t confront him directly!”

“You don’t need to remind me.

I know what to do.

Our Family Elder will be here by tonight, and then this bastard will pay for his arrogance!”

The guard, curious, widened his eyes, “You mean the Elder is…

Lord Qianying?”

“Indeed, it’s him.

He learned of this tragedy early on.

He’s extremely angry, and he’s already prepared everything to come down from the mountain to avenge the Nangong family.

Just wait, this fellow is as good as dead today; he won’t survive till tomorrow!”

“Ah?

The Elder is coming here today?

Then we must be cautious not to anger this fellow.

If he starts a fight before the Elder arrives, we will be at a disadvantage.”

“Save your needless words; I know what I’m doing.”

The Chief Caretaker quickly walked towards the pavilion, stood in front of Lu Chuan with his hands behind his back, and confidently faced him.

“I’m here!”
