Various thoughts surged through Lu Chuan's mind.

Just informed by the system that the current boss of the Chamber of Commerce was a former servant abandoned by the original owner, she suddenly struck up a conversation with him.

A woman who had been abandoned, after working hard, achieved success in her career. After achieving fame and fortune, she sought revenge on the unfaithful man.

Lu Chuan had seen many similar news events in his previous life on Blue Star.

He had previously thought that if he had time, he would inquire in the secular world. If he could find her, he would bring back the pitiful abandoned servant.

Consider it compensation for his previous beastly behavior, let Lu Qianqiu suffer a little less. Anyway, he wasn't lacking in Spirit Stones now, and he could support one more person, even if it meant having her warm his bed in the winter.

But now, not only did he meet her before he had the chance, but the system also issued a heaven-defying task, asking him to rub salt on her wounds.

It's better to agree for now. Before leaving Shengle City tomorrow morning, there would surely be some time for the two of them to be alone.

During their alone time, Lu Chuan would reveal the truth to her as a friend and tell her that she had been abandoned.

Judging by her current appearance, it seemed unlikely that she would be willing to be his servant again. He gave up on the idea of finding Lu Qianqiu.

He had thought so much, but in reality, only a moment had passed.

Lu Chuan said, "Since it's an invitation from Boss Lu, I won't refuse and gladly accept."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qianqiu's joy was evident, and her voice became cheerful.

"I dare not, I dare not. How can I, a mortal woman, be called Boss Lu? It should be me who respects you as an immortal."

A gentle smile appeared on Lu Qianqiu's face, like a delicate flower blooming, complemented by her mature and elegant appearance, emitting a deep and captivating intellectual beauty.

The waiter looked at Lu Qianqiu in a daze for a moment.

This was the boss of Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce, the businesswoman Lu Qianqiu, who was considered highly dangerous by many business tycoons?

She wasn't the person he had in mind.

In the Chamber of Commerce, Lu Qianqiu had a strong and powerful image, with an attitude of neither humble nor arrogant towards anyone. Even cultivators and Qianqiu Chamber of Commerce couldn't take advantage of her.

The boss Lu Qianqiu, who rarely smiled, now stood in front of him with a bright and brilliant smile. What was going on?

"As it's getting late, I'm sure you immortals haven't eaten yet. Let me treat you to some special dishes from Shengle City and have a good chat."

Wu Dian, considering himself the leader among the Immortal Gate group, naturally wouldn't refuse the opportunity to dine with a beautiful woman, especially when she was the one treating.

He quickly said, "Thank you, Miss Lu."

To Wu Dian's surprise, when Lu Qianqiu heard him call her Miss Lu, her smile disappeared completely.

Lu Qianqiu said to Wu Dian, "This guest should just call me Boss. The only person who can call me that is the gentleman over there."

There was a hint of coldness in her voice.

After speaking, she looked at Lu Chuan, who had disguised himself as Meng Qing, and revealed a warm and gentle smile.

Lu Chuan suddenly felt a chill as she stared at him, and he smiled back at Lu Qianqiu.

Seeing Meng Qing's reaction, Lu Qianqiu's smile became even more pronounced.

Her speculation in her heart was now even more certain.

Wu Dian looked at Meng Qing, his mouth twisted in disdain.

This Chamber of Commerce boss was ultimately a mortal, wanting to climb up by relying on Meng Qing.

Secular mortals always held longing and expectations for cultivators.

They wanted to become the cultivation partner of a cultivator, as long as they dual cultivated, they could extend their lifespan.

They wanted various elixirs that only cultivators could obtain. The Face Preservation Pill could prevent changes in appearance, and the Detoxification Pill could eliminate the toxins accumulated in the body from eating, achieving a healthy and disease-free state.

They wanted to be admired by other mortals for their cultivation...

This Meng brother, apart from having a good-looking face and slightly stronger strength, where else could he compare to himself?

It's possible that killing the Desert Scorpion was also done with some kind of Spirit Treasure, which he couldn't possibly do again.

I regretted thinking that Lu Qianqiu was someone important before. How wrong my judgment was.

Lu Qianqiu walked to the table in the hall and sat down. She said to the waiter, "Waiter, go call the chef and have him bring out the signature dishes of our inn for these esteemed guests to taste."

The waiter didn't dare to neglect the order from the boss of Qianqiu Trading Company and quickly said he understood before hurrying back to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

As the moonlight grew stronger, many guests staying at the inn came downstairs to the hall to order their meals and get ready to eat.

The several people from the Immortal Gate also sat down.

The table could seat two people on one side, with a total capacity of eight people.

Su Lianlian didn't want to sit with the small group of Wu Dian and didn't want to sit with Meng Qing, who kept bothering her. So she decided to sit with Luo Li, who had fought the Desert Scorpion together with her.

Although Lu Chuan had warned her that Luo Li was terrifying and a cunning man to stay away from, Su Lianlian didn't feel that he was formidable in any way after spending a day with him. She decided to observe him more closely.

One fat and one thin, the two Wu brothers sat on one side, facing Lu Qianqiu.

They whispered to each other about the delicious food they had eaten in the secular world before embarking on the path of cultivation, looking forward to what kind of dishes they would be able to eat later.

Wu Dian naturally didn't stand on ceremony and sat directly next to Lu Qianqiu.

He wanted to prove himself.

He didn't believe that he was inferior to Meng Qing, who was unremarkable in terms of male charm at the Immortal Gate.

Besides, Su Lianlian was also present. Meng Qing must still have feelings for Su Lianlian and wouldn't be interested in Lu Qianqiu.

Lu Chuan sat alone opposite Su Lianlian and Luo Li, closing his eyes pretending to cultivate.

Out of everyone's expectations, Lu Qianqiu stood up under everyone's gaze and walked slowly to sit next to Meng Qing.

Lu Chuan felt someone sitting next to him and when he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Qianqiu's sweet smile, feeling a bit at a loss.

Seeing Lu Chuan's expression, Lu Qianqiu's smile faded, replaced by a faint teardrop in the corner of her eye.

In a trembling voice, she said, "I feel that the gentleman and I are destined to meet. I would like to sit beside him for easier communication. Would the gentleman be unwilling?"

Her lips trembled slightly as Lu Qianqiu looked up at Meng Qing, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion and helplessness. She appeared pitiful and vulnerable, far from the strong businesswoman who dominated the market. She was clearly an adorable and lovable woman.

Lu Qianqiu could burst into tears at any moment.

Unable to bear seeing a woman cry, Lu Chuan said, "As you wish."

With that, Lu Chuan continued to close his eyes and pretend to cultivate.

Lu Qianqiu also regained her smile.

It seems that in the past six months, Young Master Lu Chuan has changed a lot.

He has become much gentler than before, which is a great improvement.

Did something significant happen during his cultivation at Immortal Gate?

The waiter brought out several dishes from the kitchen.

Upon hearing the boss's arrival, the kitchen immediately followed orders, preparing the dishes with utmost care. They used the best ingredients and spent the least amount of time cooking.

As long as they left a good impression on Mr. Lu, they might be able to climb the ladder of success in the future.

Lu Qianqiu said, "You don't have to be polite, the chef can cook whatever you like."

Forgetting to ask their purpose for this trip, she continued, "How long will you be staying in Shengle City?"

Wu Dian hurriedly replied, "We came to Wu Country to search for someone in Azure Rock Town. We are just passing through Shengle City and will leave early tomorrow morning."

Lu Qianqiu nodded and continued, "Actually, I can be considered a disciple of Immortal Gate. I have a name registered in the outer sect, so you can all be considered my senior brothers and sisters."

As she spoke, she stole a glance at Lu Chuan, wanting to see his reaction.

"I have an acquaintance at Immortal Gate named Lu Chuan. Have any of you senior brothers and sisters heard of him?"
