991: Chapter 951 The End 991: Chapter 951 The End Lu Chuan’s words brought great temptation to Yu Qiming, making him waver.
“If allying with you can make our Yu family surge back to greatness, then it’s not out of the question to consider.”
“My father’s last wish before he died was to see our clan rise and beco well-known within Cloud Sea City.”
“Unfortunately, not long after his passing, our family began to rapidly decline.”
“If he had lived another five years, perhaps, our family situation would’ve been different.”
Lu Chuan laughed, “Is the difference within these five years that significant?
Your Yu family was rely holding on because your father was alive.”
“The mont he died was the mont your family began its downfall; five years is neither long nor short.”
“So, you’d better recognize clearly the real reason why your family fell from grace.”
Lu Chuan patted his shoulder, “I can help your clan regain its glory, but there’s one condition.”
“What condition?”
He hurriedly looked up at Lu Chuan.
“That is naturally for your family to stand with .
In matters of interest, you must side with without hesitation.”
“Do as I say, help with my affairs.
How you manage your family is still your call, but you must stand in my camp.”
He looked at Lu Chuan, deep in thought, and after a long ti, he reluctantly nodded.
“Can you…
honor the agreent and truly help our family revive?”
“Of course, I’m about to head to Cloud Sea City.
If I want to establish a foothold in that unfamiliar environnt, I inevitably need the support of the locals.”
“And your Yu family are the locals of Cloud Sea City.”
Lu Chuan shook his hand, “Rest assured, I will keep my promise.”
“And…
what about her?”
He looked towards Jyang Ran.
Jyang Ran, upon seeing his gaze, chose to turn her head away, unwilling to et his eyes.
“She has helped out a bit and can be considered a capable assistant.”
“So, what you’re saying is, moving forward, I’m to be allied with her?”
He cast a disgusted glance at Jyang Ran.
Sensing his look, Jyang Ran snorted coldly.
“Well, yes.
Jyang Ran has been wandering the martial world for many years now, initially seeking stability by attaching herself to Nangong Qianying, hoping to find peace under that old man’s wing.”
“After he died, she took a fancy to , insisting on staying by my side to help with my endeavors.”
Lu Chuan shrugged helplessly, “Indeed, I do lack a strong enforcer by my side.”
Lu Chuan turned back to Jyang Ran, “If you continue to follow , that can be arranged, but you’d better show your worth.”
Jyang Ran placed her hands on her hips, looked at Lu Chuan, and said, “Hey, have you no conscience?
I’ve been worried sick over your affairs, and you still demand I prove my worth?
Are you trying to squeeze dry?”
“And what’s with this guy always scowling?
Am I supposed to accept him like this?”
She pointed at Yu Qiming with her hand.
“You woman, you’re my father’s murderer; why should I give you a good face!”
“Heh, a murderer?
That’s laughable.
Your father was close to death anyway; it was just a matter of sooner or later.”
“Ah!
You bastard, I’ll kill you!”
Jyang Ran stepped back cautiously, “You’ve already agreed to Lu Chuan, you can’t lay a hand on !”
Yu Qiming took a deep breath, pressed down on his longsword, and stepped back to look at Lu Chuan.
“I can bear it, no problem.”
“Jyang Ran, you should apologize to him; after all, you’ve made a mistake.”
Jyang Ran crossed her arms, reluctantly saying, “Why should I?
I’m a Demonic Cultivator; I lack a moral compass, I won’t apologize or admit any wrongdoing.”
Lu Chuan’s expression turned cold, “Since that’s how you feel, then continue on your path; I am not in accord with Demonic Cultivators.”
At Lu Chuan’s words, Jyang Ran suddenly lost her confidence.
“But… but I’m the one who’s going to pick your locks; without , Zhao Mingguang wouldn’t help you.”
“It’s just a chest, what if I give it up?”
“Besides, I saved Zhao Mingguang’s life.
If he has any conscience, he’ll help with the lock, even if he’s reluctant, I have ways to make him willing.”
Upon hearing this, Jyang Ran was at a loss, her face showing her confusion as she looked at Lu Chuan.
“Young Master Lu, have you really decided to help our Yu family regain its strength?
If that’s true, I will absolutely follow your orders and serve you!”
He clasped his hands in a respectful salute, looking earnestly at Lu Chuan.
“My late father’s last wish was to see the Yu family’s na glorified across the world and our clan prosper.”
“Regrettably, I simply lacked the ability and let my father down.”
“If you could help with this matter, I would be ever so grateful!”
He spoke with sincere gratitude.
Lu Chuan lifted his clasped hands, “I’ve already said I would help you.
Consider it mutual assistance.”
“Cloud Sea City seems to be a major city, with a tangled web of powers and a sky full of capable individuals.
If I don’t find a way to establish myself there, that won’t do.”
“In the future, there’s no need for such formalities with ; our collaboration hasn’t even officially started yet.”
“Alright, I understand!
Then let’s… return now; I will accompany you to Cloud Sea City!”
Lu Chuan patted his shoulder, “Then co with .”
Lu Chuan turned back to look at Jyang Ran.
She was lovely and had many admirers along the way, including all sorts of handso and talented n or powerful martial artists.
This was what forged her aloof and proud character.
In her cool eyes, it was rare to see much emotion.
But at the mont, Lu Chuan could see that her eyes seed to show unease.
She took a deep breath and walked towards Lu Chuan.
“I’ve given much thought to your words, and indeed, you make sense.”
“I recognize your strength, and by your side, I’d feel more at peace.”
“Though I am a Demonic Cultivator, I just utilize their thods of cultivation; many of their philosophies, I do not agree with.”
“Lu Chuan, you asked to apologize to him, so I’ll apologize now.”
She bowed deeply to Yu Qiming.
“I’m sorry, it was my mistake; I shouldn’t have stolen the precious dicine from your family.
Had I known it was sothing so important, I would have definitely returned it to its place.”
Yu Qiming looked at Jyang Ran.
He was not accepting her apology in his heart, but on account of Lu Chuan, he still waved his hand, “Forget it, for Young Master Lu’s sake, I won’t pursue the matter further.”
“Jyang Ran, Lu Chuan has given you a chance; treasure it.
Seeing you let go of your pride also proves you truly want to follow Lu Chuan.”
“Let’s put this matter to rest…”
