939: Chapter 899 Warning 939: Chapter 899 Warning The Martial Path tournant had undergone a complete transformation, led by Su Changyue.
The duels paused, and several judges stood up, all watching Lu Chuan with eyes like tigers on the prowl, vigilant to his every move.
Lu Chuan shook his head helplessly.
“Su Changyue, how about we resolve the issues between us alone?
What if we take care of it outside the City Lord’s Mansion?”
Su Changyue let out a cold laugh, “Why should I go outside the City Lord’s Mansion with you?
What if I prefer to stay here?”
“As expected, you don’t have the guts.”
Lu Chuan said it naturally, without surprise.
At that mont, the five judges all walked toward Lu Chuan.
“Lu Chuan, don’t think that just because you can handle the Nangong family, you can take on our City Lord.
You’d better be sensible right now.
If you leave quietly, we’ll pretend nothing happened.”
Lu Chuan let out a sigh of resignation.
“It seems I won’t be able to settle our grievances today.”
“Then so be it, we shall et again if fate allows.”
As Lu Chuan prepared to turn and leave, Su Changyue breathed a sigh of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted.
“However, do you know why I ca to participate in the Martial Path tournant?
Do you know how I found out your location?”
Lu Chuan looked at Su Changyue and asked again.
Su Changyue’s beautiful brows furrowed tightly, and her expression turned grave.
She pursed her red lips, hesitated for a mont, and then asked, “You couldn’t have…
captured soone, could you?”
Lu Chuan burst into hearty laughter.
“That’s right, there’s soone nad…
nad Zhu ng who is with now.”
Su Changyue clenched her fists and struck the armrest of the chair forcefully.
“That useless coward!
I knew it was him!”
“Hurry back and kill him.
He’s completely useless, nothing but a hindrance by my side!”
“Initially, I only kept him around for his sole redeeming quality of loyalty, but who would have expected that he couldn’t even hold on to that?
What a waste of space!”
Lu Chuan shook his head slightly.
“I think you’re mistaken; it’s not that he failed to uphold his sole virtue but rather he saw you clearly and chose to give up.”
“For your sake, he cut off one of his fingers and endured the agonizing pain.”
Su Changyue scoffed coldly.
“Really?
Should I complint him then?
Trash remains trash, no matter how many fingers are cut off.
Why didn’t you chop off all his fingers?”
Lu Chuan sighed helplessly.
“This is it, Su Changyue.
You’d better keep hiding here.
If you dare to target again, I will go to any lengths to kill you!”
“Rember this, you have no right to covet what’s mine!”
Lu Chuan turned and walked off the dueling arena, returning to Dongfang Cheng’s side.
“Are we leaving now?”
Dongfang Cheng asked.
“Yes, are you planning to stay and continue dueling?”
“What about Su Changyue?
Is a warning all she gets?”
Lu Chuan glanced around helplessly.
“Are you suggesting we take action right here?
Let’s not bother, why create trouble for ourselves?
If she doesn’t know any better, I’ll teach her how to behave.”
“Alright, let’s head back then.”
The two of them turned and walked out of the crowd, preparing to leave the place.
“Miss Su, are we just going to let them go like this?
Isn’t that a bit inappropriate?”
One of the judges ca to Su Changyue’s side and asked.
“Miss Su, that guy disrespected you a lot.
We should teach him a lesson.”
“Zhao Qiang, you’re much stronger than that surna Zhu, but let it go.
His strength is too great, and if you go up alone, it would be too dangerous.
What if you get hurt?”
The man nad Zhao Qiang, hearing this, imdiately bead with joy, showing an excited smile.
“Miss Su caring so much about is quite unfamiliar, but you don’t have to worry.
If that guy dares to co here again and oversteps his bounds, I, Zhao Qiang, will be the first to disagree!”
Su Changyue looked at him and smiled sweetly, “With those words, I am reassured.”
At that mont, Lu Chuan, who was stepping out of the crowd, was stopped by a resonant voice.
“Young Master Lu, please wait!”
Lu Chuan paused in his steps and looked back.
He saw across the practice field a middle-aged man in a golden robe walking towards him, followed by a dozen fully ard guards.
The man had a prominent forehead and square chin, with a dignified appearance exuding righteousness, and walked with strong, confident strides.
“And you are?”
“I am the City Lord of Tiannan City, Yuan Tiancheng.”
“Young Master Lu, I didn’t expect you to visit my mansion without sending a ssage in advance so I could have co to et you sooner.”
Lu Chuan smiled helplessly, “It’s alright, I didn’t send a ssage in advance mainly because I feared alarming a certain individual.”
“Are you referring to Su Changyue?
She is a distinguished guest in my mansion, and she has been staying here for so ti now.”
Lu Chuan walked towards Yuan Tiancheng.
“City Lord Yuan, what brings you to ?”
“With such a commotion you’ve caused, I certainly need to have a word with you.
The Nangong family is the preeminent aristocratic family in Tiannan City, and yet they’ve unexpectedly t their downfall at your hands, which is truly astonishing.”
“Young Master Lu, co with , let’s go to the guest chamber and talk at leisure.”
Lu Chuan looked back at Dongfang Cheng and said, “Let’s go, let’s all head over together.”
“Sure, let’s go have a look.”
Dongfang Cheng followed behind Lu Chuan, while Lu Chuan walked beside Yuan Tiancheng.
The three of them, along with a crowd behind, proceeded towards the guest chamber.
Su Changyue watched Lu Chuan’s figure from a distance, her brows imdiately knitting together.
“What does the City Lord an by this?
It looks like he wants to befriend Lu Chuan.”
Su Changyue started to feel sowhat panicked.
“What should I do now?
He single-handedly destroyed the Nangong family; he’s definitely a bloodthirsty executioner.
If he decides to trouble , wouldn’t I be…”
Her complexion turned sour, resembling that of a person who had just received a death sentence.
Zhao Qiang hurriedly comforted her, “Miss Su, don’t worry, I will protect you.”
“Ha…
you protect …
alright, I believe you…”
Su Changyue said with resignation.
With Zhu ng captured, she no longer had anyone willing to risk their life for her, which eroded her sense of security.
At this mont, Zhao Qiang seed like a suitable substitute.
…
Lu Chuan followed Yuan Tiancheng to the guest chamber.
Inside the guest chamber, servants were burning incense and serving tea, with exquisite desserts prepared for the City Lord to welco his guests.
Yuan Tiancheng walked into the guest chamber and found a chair to sit down.
“Please sit wherever you like; we’re not formal here.”
“Lu Chuan, the word outside is that Nangong Tian is dead.
Is this true or false?”
Yuan Tiancheng lifted his teacup and took a sip.
“Of course it’s true.
He died before , by my hand.”
“Really?
Did you kill him in a one-on-one fight?”
Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Yes, if it had been a lee, I might not have been the match.
I don’t have many n under my command, but when it cos to one-on-one combat, there is no one I fear.”
