tsundere goddess in love with me

Xu Jingchong immediately gave up, stood up, dusted himself off, looked at Lu Chuan, and showed an awkward smile.

"What can we say? Our Xu family has no enmity or enmity with you. If we become enemies because of a small misunderstanding, it would be unworthy."

He smiled and brought a chair for Lu Chuan and placed it in front of him.

After Lu Chuan sat down, Xu Jingchong stood half-bent beside Lu Chuan.

"Tell me, where is Nangong Qianyingren?"

"He...he is on Baihe Mountain outside the city. It is a holy land for spiritual practice. Many practitioners will go there to find a blessed place where they can reach heaven and then start a long retreat to practice."

"Nangong Qianying is no exception. He is among the mountains. As for the specific whereabouts, I don't know yet."

"He is probably going to come back from the mountain in the next two days. There is such a huge change in the Nangong family. It is absolutely impossible for him not to know about it."

"I estimate that it will take him less than two days to go down the mountain."

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, "Where is Baihe Mountain in Tiannan City?"

"To the northwest, if he wants to rely on his mount to enter the city, there is only one way he must pass."

"You can set up an ambush halfway and find a way to sneak up on him first. Otherwise, a head-on confrontation won't do you much good. That old guy's strength is really extraordinary."

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, "I understand."

"By the way, do you know much about Yuan Tiancheng?"

"Are you talking about the city lord? I am doing business here, how could I not understand the city lord?"

Lu Chuan continued to ask: "I want to find someone from him. That person is now living in his house. This person is important to him, but not too important. I want him to hand him over. What do you think I should do better?"

When Xu Jingchong heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought.

"Let me think about it, I know the city lord Yuan Tiancheng very well. I know everything he likes."

"You are now in Tiannan City. The most powerful force here is the city guards. You must not be able to offend them. Otherwise, you will not have the chance to kill Nangong Qianying."

"How about this? City Lord Yuan has a young son who is cynical. But it is a pity that when he was playing in Chun Tower a few days ago, he offended a group of bandits. The bandits gave Yuan Tiancheng's young son to He was captured out of the city, but his life and death are still uncertain, and his whereabouts are unknown."

"City Lord Yuan has now offered a reward throughout the city. If anyone can bring his son back, he will give a heavy reward!"

Lu Chuan frowned slightly, "I don't want to get involved in this kind of nonsense. Is there anything else?"

"Others? This is really embarrassing for me. You know, Yuan Tiancheng almost dominates Tiannan City with one hand. Although the Nangong family takes half of the country, his status cannot be underestimated."

"He really doesn't need other people's favors in this city. He can handle everything by himself."

"However, if you want to enter the city lord's mansion, it's easy. You only need to attend the martial arts conference held by the city lord."

Lu Chuan asked curiously: "Martial Arts Conference? Is it just a competition?"

"Of course not. If outstanding warriors are selected to serve in the army, if they perform well, they can skip the recruitment stage directly."

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, "This is a good idea. I'm too lazy to care about his family affairs, so I'll just go to this martial arts competition. After the competition, will I be qualified to enter the City Lord's Mansion?"

"It's not that I'm qualified, but that the martial arts conference is held in the city lord's palace."

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, "I see. If that's the case, then I'll sign up to participate."

"By the way, who is the person you are looking for? To be able to hide in the city lord's palace, this person's status and strength must be extraordinary."

Xu Jingchong looked at Lu Chuan curiously.

Lu Chuan stood up and prepared to leave.

"That person is indeed extraordinary, but he has little to do with you, so you don't need to worry. I'm leaving first. You'd better keep my visit a secret. If everyone in the city knows that I, Lu Chuan, am here today, , then I will come to trouble you!"

Xu Jingchong immediately gave up and sneered quickly: "Absolutely not, just don't worry."

Lu Chuan turned around and left, followed closely by Dongfang Cheng. Seeing both of them walking out of the study, Xu Jingchong wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally we sent these two masters away... It's not easy."

……

Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng walked out of the Xu family's mansion and came to the street.

"What should I say? Find that Su Changyue first? Or start preparing to deal with Nangong Qianying?"

Lu Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Both of these things need to be done. Now, let's go find Su Changyue first, lest this guy chooses to run away when he knows I'm here."

"No problem... Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first."

The two returned to the street, mounted their horses and continued forward, heading towards the city lord's palace.

In the afternoon, the streets became a little hotter, and there were gradually fewer pedestrians. The scorching sun made beads of sweat appear on Lu Chuan's forehead.

Along the street, Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

The city lord's palace in Tiannan City is as grand as a palace. The gardens and pastures scattered inside are about the size of a medium-sized lake.

Lu Chuan came to the gate.

In front of the door stand two huge jade lions, with majestic shapes and exquisite carvings.

There were two rows of guards standing in front of the door, all holding long spears and wearing silver armor. They looked completely different from the guards in front of the family's power door.

Lu Chuan walked towards the notice board next to the gate. When he saw it, he could take off the notice and sign up.

Lu Chuan took off a notice posted on the notice board.

After getting it in your hand, walk towards the door.

The guard stood in front of the door, blocking Lu Chuan's way.

"What are you doing?"

Lu Chuan picked up the notice in his hand and said, "I'm here to sign up for the martial arts conference."

"Martial Arts Conference? It's too late for you to register."

Lu Chuan quickly asked: "Am I already late?"

"It's not too late, it's just that all those who should register have finished, so it seems deserted. Go in and turn left. There is our city lord's training ground, where the martial arts conference will start."

Walk into the mansion, enter the door, and walk to the left.

Passing through a wall and following the stone path, we saw where people gathered.

In front of you is the training ground in the city lord's palace. A competition stage has been set up here, and there is a long queue next to it, all of which are people signing up to participate in the martial arts competition.

Lu Chuan walked towards them quickly.

Following the line, Lu Chuan began to line up.

After waiting in line for almost half an hour, it was Lu Chuan's turn.

Dongfang Cheng, standing behind Lu Chuan, also planned to sign up and give it a try.

"Name!"

The person sitting behind the desk looked at Lu Chuan.

"My name is Lu Xiaochuan." (End of chapter)
