The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"Young master, the master wants to see you."

The housekeeper came again right after I finished breakfast.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle. He was, after all, a head steward with over a hundred people under him. If he was just running errands every day, wouldn't his salary be wasted?

"Master asked me to tell the young master that people from the City Lord's Mansion have arrived."

"The City Lord's Mansion?"

Lu Yuan pondered for a moment, a slight smile appearing on his lips.

Then she got up and followed the butler straight to Shen Fuyue's courtyard.

In the reception room, Shen Fuyue sat in the main seat, with a young man wearing glasses sitting below him.

Lu Yuan remembered this person; he was the city lord's chief secretary, and his name seemed to be Li Chuanxiong.

When he and Zhu Fuyuan had a falling out, it almost escalated into a major battle between Shen Fuyue and the Grandmaster of the Wugu Society. It was he who came to mediate on behalf of the city lord.

Now he's fighting with the Ye family again, and it's him again.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile; this city lord's chief secretary was certainly going to great lengths.

"They're here."

Seeing Lu Yuan enter, Shen Fuyue pointed to Li Chuanxiong sitting there.

"You've seen this person before."

"Secretary Li, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"General Lu, it's been a long time."

Li Chuanxiong stood up, shook hands with Lu Yuan, and then sat back down.

Looking at Lu Yuan sitting opposite him, he felt a wave of exhaustion.

It's only been a year, and they've already caused such a huge commotion. It's really worrying.

Although she secretly wished she could grab Lu Yuan by the neck and slap him across the face, she still had to keep a straight face.

After a slight pause, Li Chuanxiong finally spoke.

"Let's not beat around the bush. I've already told Lord Shen that I'm here to mediate the conflict between you, General Lu, and the Ye family."

"What conflict? I have no conflict with the Ye family."

Lu Yuan waved his hand dismissively, refusing to respond.

Li Chuanxiong pushed up his glasses, cursing inwardly, "This kid is doing this on purpose, isn't he?"

He took a deep breath and spoke patiently.

"The day before yesterday, you had a match with Ye Honglan, and the whole city knows about it. That night, your men smashed twenty-three of the Ye family's properties. And last night, you smashed another twenty-three of the Ye family's properties."

"You need to provide evidence when you speak. I admit to the contest with Ye Honglan, but as for smashing the Ye family's property, what do you mean by 'my people'? Who can prove those thieves were my people? As for me doing it myself, that's even more absurd. Who saw it?"

"...Marine General!"

Li Chuanxiong's voice suddenly rose two octaves. He really couldn't stand it anymore. Nobody was stupid. This was obvious. Why did they need to argue?

"I've come here to mediate the conflict. If you, General Lu, don't cooperate, the city lord can't very well intervene!"

"Hey, it's better that you don't show up."

Lu Yuan sneered, his face suddenly darkening.

"Since the city lord remained silent when the Ye family attacked me, there's no need for him to step in now! If the city lord truly wants to uphold justice, it's actually quite simple: the one who tied the knot must untie it. Go and give the Ye family a warning so they'll stop coveting my base."

"you……"

Even Li Chuanxiong, the eloquent chief secretary of the city lord's mansion, was speechless for a moment.

Only then did he realize that Lu Yuan wasn't simply arguing with him, but had no intention of mediating through the City Lord's Mansion at all.

He really wanted to fight the Ye family!

As for the rights and wrongs involved, everyone is naturally clear about them.

Li Chuanxiong frowned and couldn't help but look at Shen Fuyue.

Shen Fuyue sat there calmly, a slight smile playing on his lips. Clearly, he supported Lu Yuan's decision.

"I see."

Given this, what else can Li Chuanxiong say? It's pointless for him to say anything more.

"Then I'll take my leave now."

He stood up abruptly, took two steps, then suddenly stopped, turned around and said something to Lu Yuan.

"Are you still planning to make a move tonight? As far as I know, the Ye family has already made preparations. If you make a move, you may very well walk into their trap."

"Thank you for the reminder, Secretary Li. I will keep that in mind."

"That's good."

Li Chuanxiong nodded and left.

All he can do now is try his best to control the situation and prevent it from escalating.

If Lu Yuan makes a move again tonight, and something unexpected happens, things will truly spiral out of control.

Did you hear me?

After Li Chuanxiong left, Shen Fuyue's expression turned serious.

"The Ye family is already prepared, so you'd better not make a move tonight."

"They can do their thing, I'll do mine. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Lu Yuan said something indifferently and then turned to leave.

Shen Fuyue frowned, but did not try to persuade him further.

There are some people and things that can't be persuaded, and he can't protect these children forever; they have to overcome some difficulties on their own.

"Nonsense!"

In the deputy director's office of the Starry Sky Building, after seeing off the Ye family, Qin Dingfang's face immediately darkened.

The Ye family and Lu Yuan got into a fight. Unable to subdue Lu Yuan, they instead went around seeking justice from others.

Is this era one where reasoning is the foundation?

Even if someone is needed to discipline Lu Yuan, they should go to the Shen family. Why is he causing trouble at their Starry Sky Club?

"Utterly despicable!"

Recalling what the Ye family had said earlier, such as threatening to terminate certain cooperation or become enemies in certain fields if the association did not restrain Lu Yuan, Qin Dingfang was furious.

But as annoyed as I was, the headache was real.

The Ye family established itself through swordsmanship, and most of the family members practice swordsmanship. Those who are good at swordsmanship are often quite stubborn, even obsessive.

These sword fanatics, they mean what they say.

The problem is, even the Ye family can't do anything about Lu Yuan, this mad dog, so what can their guild do?

At most, they could put pressure on Shen Fuyue in the name of the association, but Shen Fuyue would never pay them any attention.

As for expelling Lu Yuan from the club, that's even more impossible.

The Ye family came to seek justice because Lu Yuan was nominally still a martial artist of the Starry Sky Club.

If Lu Yuan is expelled, he will no longer be related to the Starry Sky Club, and the Ye family will have no way of finding them.

But if we do that, Lu Yuan's base and the Starry Sky Hall will have no connection.

For the sake of that base, even if Lu Yuan causes a huge upheaval, the Starry Sky Club cannot expel him.

Even in critical moments, they had to protect him.

After all, if Lu Yuan were still alive, the Starry Sky Club would have a legitimate reason to take over the base.

If Lu Yuan is gone, the base will become a no-man's land, and everyone will have the right to fight over it.

"Is this kid doing this on purpose?"

Thinking of this, Qin Dingfang couldn't help but ponder for a moment.

The Ye family's visit, besides being a threat, was actually intended to force the guild to expel Lu Yuan, thereby reducing a major obstacle to seizing the base.

On second thought, could it be that Lu Yuan deliberately provoked the Ye family to cause trouble for the club? By stirring up conflict between the club and the Ye family, he could at least get some breathing room for the time being.

"It seems this kid isn't as simple as he appears."

Thinking of this, Qin Dingfang's expression grew even more somber.

"Achoo!"

At the Shen family residence, Lu Yuan rubbed his nose and frowned. It was that bastard talking about him behind his back again.

Looking up at the sun, which was already setting in the west, he gave a cold smile.

The Ye family is lying in wait tonight, so he'll give them a big gift!
