On your wedding night, stay with your godbrother; the Empress is practically throwing herself at you

Chapter 256: Clash, Game of Wits—They're all seasoned veterans!

Nancheng Zoo.

Two more days passed like this.

Lu Chuan is indifferent to and unconcerned about the online flame wars.

"Senior brother, are you really not worried at all?"

Su Ling'er stood beside the desk, her face full of worry.

"He Taiqing is going to the Twin Saints' Ruins tomorrow."

"We haven't heard from our master yet. What if something really happened to him?"

Lu Chuan put down the thermos containing goji berries, leaned back in his chair, and looked casual.

"It's none of our business how the old man behaves."

"He has his reasons for not coming out."

"But you haven't been focused on work these past few days. Zhao Lei said you almost fed yourself to a crocodile?"

Su Ling'er's pretty face immediately turned red.

Yesterday morning, she spent the entire morning online hurling insults at He Taiqing.

As a result, the time to feed the crocodiles was delayed.

When she hurriedly remembered and went over with the food, the crocodiles were already ferocious from hunger.

They launched a direct attack on her.

Fortunately, she was a descendant of the Beast Taming lineage and possessed the cultivation of a Great Martial Master, which allowed her to narrowly escape.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lei still reported it to Lu Chuan.

Su Ling'er said somewhat shyly,

"I'm just in a hurry."

"Senior brother, you're something else too. Master was even verbally abused, how can you still remain so calm?"

Lu Chuan stood up with a smile.

"If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up."

"Let's go, it's time to get off work."

Lu Chuan picked up his coat.

Walk straight out.

Su Ling'er stamped her foot and quickly followed, swaying her slender waist.

The two walked out of the zoo gate.

I was just about to get in the car.

Then I saw a row of black luxury cars parked neatly in the parking lot.

In the middle is a low-key black sedan.

There were four luxury cars escorting them from the front and four from the rear.

This spectacle left the employees leaving get off work completely dumbfounded.

Before Lu Chuan could figure out what was going on...

The black car in the middle opened its door, and Lei Qianjue, the president of the South City Martial Arts Association, jogged over.

Lu Chuan was immediately surprised.

Lei Qianjue?

Should I make him run errands?

Who could be the people in that car?

"Young friend Lu."

Lei Qianjue gave a wry smile and said,

"You're off work, hahaha."

Lu Chuan looked at him,

"President Lei, this whole operation is aimed at me."

Lei Qianjue nodded quickly.

"Mmm, the guild leader is waiting for you in the car."

I want to see you.

Lu Chuan immediately raised an eyebrow.

President of the Jiangnan Provincial Martial Arts Association.

Zhou Zhenxiong.

It was him.

No wonder he could command someone like Lei Qianjue to run errands.

Immediately, Lu Chuan turned to look at Su Ling'er beside him.

"Go back by yourself first."

"Be careful on the road, don't wander around."

Su Ling'er glanced at the line of luxury cars and knew that it was not appropriate for her to get involved in this kind of occasion.

So she nodded obediently.

"I understand, senior brother. Then be careful."

Lu Chuan followed Lei Qianjue to the black car in the center.

Lei Qianjue immediately stepped forward and opened the car door.

Lu Chuan bent down and sat in the car.

The interior of the carriage was extremely spacious and decorated in a very luxurious manner.

A short, stout middle-aged man dressed in a Tang suit was sitting on a leather sofa.

It was Zhou Zhenxiong, the president of the Jiangnan Province Martial Arts Association.

"The disciple of the Martial Emperor of the South City is indeed a man of outstanding talent."

Zhou Zhenxiong looked Lu Chuan up and down, and said with a smile,

"Young friend Lu, please have a seat."

Lu Chuan sat down on the sofa opposite him, his expression calm.

"Please excuse my poor performance, Chairman Zhou."

"I didn't know Chairman Zhou had graced us with his presence. What can I, the humble zookeeper, do for you?"

Zhou Zhenxiong laughed heartily.

But immediately, they went straight to the point.

"Young friend Lu, there's really nothing important that I asked you to come here today."

"Just one thing."

"I want to ask you, is your master still at the Twin Saints' Ruins?"

"And what is his current strength, and is he confident that he can defeat He Taiqing?"

In that instant.

His gaze was fixed on Lu Chuan.

"If not, I will find a way to get him to leave Nancheng temporarily."

Lu Chuan was immediately surprised.

This week, Zhenxiong was quick to speak his mind.

However, Lu Chuan certainly wouldn't talk about his true form, so he could only helplessly say...

"What does Chairman Zhou mean by that?"

"How dare I, as a disciple, ask too many questions about my master's affairs?"

Zhou Zhenxiong laughed and waved his hand.

"Young friend Lu, please don't misunderstand."

"The Martial Emperor of Nancheng is ultimately a person of our Jiangnan Province."

"If he really suffers a loss at He Taiqing's hands, it will be a slap in the face for our Jiangnan Province."

"If I can help, I, as the president, will naturally do so."

At this point, Zhou Zhenxiong's face darkened again.

"If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow will be the three-day deadline set by He Taiqing."

"If your master doesn't come out soon, based on my understanding of that old dog, he will definitely go to the Twin Saints' Ruins in person."

"Things might get complicated then."

Lu Chuan was even more helpless.

"To be honest, I was unaware of the teacher's abilities."

"I can't get in touch with him now either."

"However, perhaps he should still be in seclusion at the Twin Saints' Ruins."

Zhou Zhenxiong stared into Lu Chuan's eyes, trying to glean something from his face.

But he was disappointed.

Lu Chuan's expression was flawless.

It's as if they really don't know anything.

Zhou Zhenxiong could only nod and say,

"Oh well."

"If things truly cannot be saved, then I, the chairman, will personally visit the Twin Saints' ruins tomorrow."

"With me here, I doubt He Taiqing would dare to be too arrogant and presumptuous in the territory of Jiangnan Province."

Lu Chuan sneered inwardly.

That old fox, his words are more eloquent than his performance.

If you really wanted to help, what were you doing the other day?

They're coming to curry favor now simply to find out what's going on and see if they can get any benefits out of it.

Then, Zhou Zhenxiong changed the subject, looking at Lu Chuan with curiosity.

"Oh, right."

"I heard from Elder Sun that Young Friend Lu is also skilled in weapon crafting."

"I wonder if it was passed down from Emperor Wu of Nancheng."

Lu Chuan was not surprised by this.

Sun Ang was, after all, one of the elders of the Jiangnan Martial Arts Association, so it was normal for him to report these matters to Zhou Zhenxiong.

"Yes, it was indeed taught by my master."

"I've only learned a little bit; it's hardly worthy of serious consideration."

Zhou Zhenxiong laughed heartily.

"The Martial Emperor of Nancheng is truly capable."

"Not only is he a master of martial arts, but he is also proficient in unorthodox crafts such as weapon forging."

"But why have I never heard of this person before, in the South City?"

"That really piques my curiosity."

He leaned forward slightly and asked softly,

"I wonder if you, young friend Lu, have any sect or sect behind you?"

Then they started checking household registrations.

Lu Chuan shook his head.

"I don't know either."

"Anyway, so far, I've only met my master."

"He has a strange temper and never talks to me about these things."

Zhou Zhenxiong's eyes flashed.

He leaned back on the sofa, his smile ambiguous.

"Why."

"I see."

"However, the actions of a master are indeed difficult to judge by common sense."

"In that case, I, the chairman, will not bother you any longer."

"President Lei, please see Young Friend Lu out for me."

Lu Chuan nodded.

He pushed open the car door and got out.

Only after watching Lu Chuan walk away did Lei Qianjue return to his car.

"President, that kid is slippery; we didn't get anything out of him."

Zhou Zhenxiong opened his eyes and slowly said,

"The more this is the case, the more it shows that there's more to him than meets the eye."

"A young man in his twenties, facing me, a four-star Martial Emperor, didn't even have his heart skip a beat."

"This kind of composure is not something that ordinary people can have."

"We'll know when we go to the Twin Saints' Monument tomorrow."

"If that Southern City Martial Emperor is truly capable, we'll go along with it and do him a favor."

"If he's just a blustering good-for-nothing, then we don't need to offend He Taiqing for his sake."
