Chapter 973 - 973 933 Gu Xiaorou's Letter

973: Chapter 933: Gu Xiaorou’s Letter 973: Chapter 933: Gu Xiaorou’s Letter Lu Chuan turned around and saw a small bird had hopped onto the table by the window.

After approaching, Lu Chuan noticed a small red flower perched on the bird’s head.

“Myriad Realms Bird?”

Lu Chuan quickly walked over, carefully extending his right hand to cradle the Myriad Realms Bird on his finger.

In the Kunlun Domain, the only one who would send him messages using a Myriad Realms Bird was Gu Xiaorou.

He hurriedly removed the message cylinder from the bird’s leg and poured out the paper slip inside.

“Just as I thought, it’s her!”

Lu Chuan recognized Gu Xiaorou’s handwriting at a glance.

Then, he began to read the message earnestly.

“Lu Chuan, if you’re reading this letter, you can rest assured, all is well here.

Under my management, Lu Manor is continuing to grow stronger.

Should I encounter any accidents, I will inform you at the earliest opportunity.

Continue with your own affairs and don’t worry about me.”

After reading, Lu Chuan pocketed the slip of paper.

He breathed a sigh of relief, “No trouble, good, good…”

Lu Chuan sat down at the table, tore off a piece of paper, and began writing a message.

“I’m very busy here and can’t return to see you for a while, but rest assured, it won’t be long before I come back for you.”

“By the way, if there’s any suspicious figures with mysterious whereabouts in Forest City, make sure to notify me immediately.

I’ll rush back at once!”

“Xiao Rou, I’m not far from achieving my goal, wait for me!”

After writing, Lu Chuan inserted the message into the cylinder and tied it to the leg of the Myriad Realms Bird.

Lu Chuan’s caution was also out of fear that the scoundrel lurking in the shadows might find Gu Xiaorou and seek revenge.

That was definitely something Lu Chuan didn’t want to see happening.

However, with the numerous members overall at Lu Manor, it was nearly impossible for anyone to abduct a person from its deep-seated defenses.

Moreover, within Forest City, Lu Chuan had already opened channels with all the major family powers, including those of the City Lord.

Forest City was as impregnable as a fortress, unlikely to witness any accidents.

Lu Chuan opened the window and released the Myriad Realms Bird.

When he found Su Meeng, a certain thought constantly lingered in Lu Chuan’s mind.

The bastard had said he wanted to make Lu Chuan experience what Su Meeng had gone through.

No matter what, Lu Chuan couldn’t let that happen.

Lu Chuan clenched his fists, determined that he must find Su Changyue tomorrow to ask who that man is and what his connection to the Su family might be!

…

The next morning, after getting up, Lu Chuan went to visit Su Changyue first.

After knocking on the door, Lu Chuan called out, “Are you up?”

“It’s Lu Chuan, come in,” replied a voice from inside.

Lu Chuan pushed the door and entered, seeing Su Changyue, Su Meeng, and Ichikazu sitting at the table, having breakfast.

Su Meeng’s complexion was sallow, looking utterly dejected.

Ichikazu beside him was the same, lacking any interest in eating, her face filled with gloom.

Only Su Changyue, sitting in the middle, wore a rigid smile, preventing the atmosphere from becoming too dreary.

After Lu Chuan came in and saw that the three of them were all right, he was considerably relieved.

“Nothing happened last night, right?”

“No, everything’s fine.

It’s just that the two of them are not in a good state of mind; they need time to recover.”

Su Changyue looked towards Su Meeng, “Xiao Meeng, I’m sorry for letting you down, I failed to look after you, allowing the villain to catch you.”

Su Meeng looked up at Su Changyue and shook his head, “It’s not your fault, we were just too naive.

If we had been a little more cautious, we wouldn’t have fallen into the enemy’s trap.”

“Let’s not talk about the past anymore.”

Su Meeng said, turning to Ichikazu, “Ling’er, eat something.”

Ichikazu nodded silently and finally picked up her chopsticks.

Lu Chuan looked toward Su Changyue and asked, “What are your plans next?

Are you going directly back to your Su family?”

“Of course, I have to take them back first; my parents are extremely anxious.

I must bring the people back to let them have a look.”

“No problem, how about if I join you on your way over?”

Lu Chuan asked.

Su Changyue and Su Meeng exchanged a look, “Really?

Are you joining us too?

For us, it’s fine, but if you come along, we would feel a bit safer.”

“It’s just that we’re afraid of the inconvenience to you.

After all, you’ve already helped us out a lot.”

Lu Chuan nodded faintly, “In that case, we’ve got a deal.

Let’s set out together.”

“I need to find out who that person is and what their relationship is to your Su family.”

Su Changyue’s brows furrowed tightly, “Do you want to find out who the murderer is?

That might be somewhat difficult, right?”

“Didn’t you say that you don’t know who your family has offended?

If you don’t know, it’s fine to say so, I’ll ask your father and mother; they definitely know.”

Su Changyue nodded in resignation, “Alright, this is something that indeed only they can answer.

I’m not old enough to manage family affairs yet, so I don’t know much about this.”

“How old are you?”

Lu Chuan asked.

“A girl’s age is inconvenient to reveal, but since you are a benefactor, I will tell you straightly, I am nineteen years old.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “That is indeed quite young.”

“Here in the Kunlun Domain, nineteen is not young at all.

Those younger than me are already talking about marriage.

My parents are already worried about whom I should marry.”

“They have selected a few young masters from different families for me, but I am not very satisfied,”

she said helplessly.

Lu Chuan looked at Su Meeng, “You two take a few days to recover here first.

If we’re setting off, we will go together.”

Su Meeng looked at Lu Chuan and nodded, “Okay, I think that healing for three days should be enough, then we can set out directly.

After all, you’ve nearly helped me recover completely.”

“Good, that’s settled then.

Let’s go in three days.”

After Lu Chuan finished speaking, he got up to leave.

Xiao Rou looked up at Lu Chuan and called out to him.

Xiao Rou’s voice was slightly childish as she asked softly, “Are you from the Lu family?”

Lu Chuan turned back to look at Xiao Rou and said, “I am not.”

“But your surname is Lu, and you’re so powerful, you must be from the Lu family!”

she stated confidently.

“No, I am not from the Lu family; I am an enemy of the Lu family, and I intend to overturn the Lu family in the Kunlun Domain!”

Xiao Rou’s eyes widened slightly.

“Really?”

she exclaimed in surprise.

“Of course, it’s true.”

“Do you have anything else to say?”

“Er…

no, you may go.”

She quickly waved her hand, indicating that Lu Chuan could leave.

Lu Chuan stood up and left the room.

Su Changyue looked at Xiao Rou and asked, “Were you thinking of saying that your Xu family and the Lu family are allies?”

“Er…

yes, I wanted to bring him back to the Xu family so our family could properly express our gratitude to him.”

“It’s a good thing I didn’t say it; otherwise, he would definitely have killed me.”

Xiao Rou said, her voice trembled with fear.

“Don’t be nervous; Lu Chuan isn’t that kind of person.

Although he hates the Lu family, he wouldn’t lay a hand on you.”

Xiao Rou wiped the sweat from her forehead, “But what should I do?

If I bring him back and he finds out that we, the Xu family, are allies with the Lu family, will he hate me?”

she asked with a hint of panic.
