Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 582 - 542 Human Evaporation_1

Yuan Gangquan stood at the doorway, his face full of difficulty as he looked at Lu Chuan and explained again, "Young Master Lu, I have absolutely nothing to do with this matter!"

"It was all Jyang Mengsheng acting on his own!"

He stressed once again.

Upon hearing this, Lu Chuan simply nodded slightly, "I can choose to believe you."

"That’s good, you can go back and ask Jyang Mengsheng, or have him come out and explain."

"Right, there hasn’t been any trouble between you and Jyang Mengsheng, has there? The person he’s looking for seems to be you."

After finishing, Yuan Gangquan nervously glanced around, fearing that others had overheard.

Lu Chuan smiled and shook his head, "You’re overthinking it, what could possibly happen between Jyang Mengsheng and me."

"That’s good, then where is he? Has he already moved in? I can arrange another place for him so as not to bother the Gu family anymore."

Lu Chuan raised his hand to pat Yuan Gangquan’s shoulder, smiling as he spoke, "From now on, Carefree City will be without Jyang Mengsheng; the Lu Family rapid advance troops have never been to Carefree City either, let’s pretend they never existed."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Gangquan froze on the spot, somewhat confused.

"What... What do you mean? Jyang Mengsheng, he..."

"He’s already disappeared, along with all the people he brought. Pretend they’ve all evaporated from this world, and don’t ever bring this up again."

"After entering Carefree City, Jyang Mengsheng only revealed his identity to you and the Gu family, outsiders only saw a special troop enter the city."

"As long as you keep your mouth shut, everything else is negotiable."

After hearing all this, Yuan Gangquan was so frightened that he shuddered inwardly.

Lu Chuan said that Jyang Mengsheng had evaporated from this world, the implication was clear; Jyang Mengsheng had died at the Gu family’s residence.

And it wasn’t just him; the over a hundred men of the rapid advance troops he led had all vanished within the Gu family’s confines.

Cold sweat began to form on the forehead of Jyang Mengsheng.

Had the Gu family gone mad? They even dared to touch the Lu Family Army!

What’s more preposterous was that they had indeed annihilated them!

However, it seemed that the conflict between the two families was irreconcilable and bound to escalate into conflict sooner or later.

"Alright, I’ll pretend I know nothing and saw nothing. I’ll take my leave now. Today, I have not visited the Gu family."

Lu Chuan smiled and nodded, "That’s not bad; then take care, I won’t see you out."

Looking awkward, Yuan Gangquan forced a smile and turned to leave.

He walked slowly forward, looking back at the Gu Family Manor from time to time, his heart unsettled for a long time.

Jyang Mengsheng was part of the Lu Family Army, and to think he had died in this seemingly insignificant Carefree City!

It was likely that before long, Carefree City would be swept by a storm of blood and violence.

After sending Yuan Gangquan off, Lu Chuan returned to the front courtyard where everyone from the Gu family was busily cleaning up the courtyard rubbish. freewёbnoνel.com

Lu Chuan walked over to Gu Xiaorou and said, "It’s getting late, go rest."

Gu Xiaorou voiced her concerns, "Now that Jyang Mengsheng has died here, if that Lu Tianming comes, we are probably going to have to fight a thorough battle."

"Honestly, I’m not confident. The martial general’s strength of the Lu clan has long surpassed our expectations. If we really come to blows, our Gu family is absolutely no match for them."

Gu Xiaorou looked at Lu Chuan, her eyes filled with a glimmer of hope, as if she had placed all her expectations on him.

"If Lu Tianming comes, the key will be the fight between you two."

Lu Chuan patted Gu Xiaorou’s shoulder comfortingly, "Don’t worry, I will take care of the trouble."

Upon hearing these words, Gu Xiaorou’s uneasy heart finally eased somewhat.

The sky had darkened, and Lu Chuan and the others returned to their respective rooms to sleep.

In the Gu family’s front courtyard, a group of servants finished clearing the corpses only by daybreak, and Jyang Mengsheng along with his entire squad had thoroughly disappeared from the Gu family’s residence, as if they had never been there.

The next day, many people in the city were still discussing the army that had arrived in Carefree City the day before.

However, what most found strange was that there were no news of this troop today.

Even in the streets and alleys everywhere, they could not spot any trace of these people.

Thus, some speculated that perhaps the squad had encountered some urgent matter during the night and left Carefree City in the wee hours.

...

Lu Chuan got up early in the morning and continued to practice his swordsmanship in the Gu family’s back garden.

Although he had already completed the basic moves, in case of any eventuality, he still needed to practice some advanced techniques to prevent himself from being at a disadvantage when facing fierce and powerful evil spirits.

Lu Chuan practiced diligently, and before he knew it, noon had arrived.

Gu Xiaorou came over carrying a meal and placed it on the stone table in the middle of the back garden.

"Come and eat. You haven’t stopped all morning; it must have been hard, right?" Gu Xiaorou asked as she looked towards Lu Chuan.

"It’s alright, not too hard, but I’ve troubled you, bringing the meal over to me personally."

After setting down the meal, Gu Xiaorou also took a seat.

"Everyone in the city is talking about what happened. They’re all curious where that impressive troop disappeared to yesterday."

Hearing this, Lu Chuan hurriedly asked, "Did they guess anything?"

"No, it was all wild guesses. In the end, they speculated that the troop left in the middle of the night due to some urgent matter, which is why no one saw them today."

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, "It looks like Yuan Gangquan has honestly kept the secret. He also seems quite sensible."

Gu Xiaorou continued, "However, once Lu Tianming arrives, he might not be able to keep his mouth shut."

"The people in the city all know of the Lu clan’s strength, and as the City Lord, Yuan Gangquan is even more aware of the disparity in power between them."

"Such a vast disparity in power will bring him psychological pressure, and then he may not be able to keep silent."

Lu Chuan laughed dismissively, "It doesn’t matter. Once Lu Tianming arrives, he will sooner or later dig out the truth."

"I have no intention of hiding forever. I’ll find the right moment to confront him, and after that battle, the Lu clan will realize they’ve met their match."

Lu Chuan’s eyes were fierce as he had already made up his mind.

Be it Lu Tianming or anyone else, as long as they were of the Lu family Lu Fusheng’s lineage, they were all his, Lu Chuan’s, enemies!

Lu Chuan quickly finished his meal, preparing to continue practicing swordsmanship in the afternoon.

After eating, Gu Xiaorou ran over, coming to the two of them.

Catching her breath for a moment, she then said, "Did you two hear about it?"

Lu Chuan looked at Gu Xiaorou, and both shook their heads.

"We haven’t left the house today; we’ve been in the backyard all this time," Gu Xiaorou said.

"Tonight, they’re holding a lantern festival, and a renowned dancer from Flower City is going to perform here. The whole city is now bustling with decorations and preparations—it’s extremely lively out there!"

Hearing this, Gu Xiaorou looked at Gu Xiaosang curiously and quickly asked, "Lantern festival? Why are they holding it here?"

"I don’t know. It’s supposed to be a traditional festival in Flower City. I didn’t expect them to hold it here, but I heard the dancer coming tonight is stunningly beautiful!"

Gu Xiaosang said with some excitement, "Her name is something like Hua Qianwu, I think."
