Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 559 - 519 Heading to the Gu Family_1

After navigating through the complex twists of the Spirit Vein Cave, Lu Chuan finally entered the Kunlun Domain, following Gu Xiaorou.

Without a guide, Lu Chuan would have found it very difficult to come here by himself.

Just finding the entrance to this cave would probably have taken Herculean effort.

"Go down the slope, and you’ll find a station," Gu Xiaorou said. "Someone from the Gu family is staying there, waiting for me to return at all times."

Exiting the cave, they walked down the steep slope.

Then, the three of them entered a dense forest and continued along a path through the woods.

The forest was lush and green, and the air was incredibly fresh, making Lu Chuan feel much more relaxed as he walked through it.

"This is the Kunlun Domain," Gu Xiaorou said. "Entering here for the first time, it actually doesn’t look much different from the Kunlun Mountain Range."

"As you go deeper into this land, you’ll discover what makes the Kunlun Domain unique."

Gu Xiaorou continued, "There are no bustling cities or high-rise buildings like in the secular world here, so don’t be uncomfortable staying."

"No problem," shrugged Lu Chuan dismissively. "In this world abounding with spiritual energy, even sleeping in a thatched hut would be fine."

The three quickly arrived at a station via the forest path. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

Upon entering the station’s lobby, the innkeeper quickly came to greet them.

"You three just came back from the outside world; you must be exhausted. Take a break."

"What would you like to eat?"

The innkeeper looked at Gu Xiaorou with a beaming smile and asked.

"Call Gu Qing over."

"No problem, you’re looking for Gu Qing, right? I’ll go call him right now."

The innkeeper hurried upstairs and brought down a figure.

The person was dressed in black Martial Path attire, and from the look of his outfit, one might think he was an extra from a period drama.

"Miss Gu, you’re back!"

After seeing Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang, Gu Qing hurried down the stairs and stood in front of Gu Xiaorou.

"Miss Gu, how is the outside world? Is it fun?"

Gu Qing appeared very young, with excitement and curiosity in his eyes about the outside world.

"It’s quite interesting. You should go and see it for yourself when you have the chance," Gu Xiaorou replied.

Gu Qing nodded repeatedly, "I’ll definitely go have a look someday!"

Gu Xiaosang stepped forward and patted Gu Qing on the shoulder. "You better just stay here and focus on your cultivation. The girls in the secular world are all dressed up beautifully; I’m afraid you’ll be dazzled by them and ruin your health from overdoing it."

Gu Qing scratched his head and grinned sheepishly, "Really? Then I should go take a look even more."

"You never listen, do you? I’ll tell our father you’re not cultivating properly!" Gu Xiaosang retorted.

Gu Qing immediately panicked, "Don’t, Sister Xiaosang, I won’t go if you say so."

"That’s more like it. By the way, where are the horses you prepared?"

Seeing that she had intimidated Gu Qing, she showed a triumphant smile.

"They’re in the stables. Let’s go now. Something came up at the family, and we’ll see if we can be of any help when we get back," Gu Qing said as he led the three toward the stables.

"By the way, you must be Lu Chuan, right? I’ve heard a lot about you," Gu Qing bowed respectfully and said courteously to Lu Chuan.

"That’s me, just arrived and causing you trouble," replied Lu Chuan.

Gu Qing waved his hand, "No trouble at all. It’s my duty, and besides, you’re my brother-in-law; I should be helping you."

Four people arrived at the stable, where Gu Qing led three fine horses out.

"I’ll ride one horse, and Lu Chuan will ride another, while you two can ride this gentle black horse," Gu Qing suggested.

Lu Chuan looked at the white steed before him, leapt lightly, and sat on the horse’s back.

Gu Xiaorou and Gu Xiaosang also mounted the horse, ready to depart.

"Where exactly is the Gu family located, and is it far from here?" Lu Chuan asked, looking at Gu Xiaorou.

"The Gu family is in Carefree City, about two hours’ ride from here, not too far. Let’s set off," Gu Xiaorou replied.

Gu Xiaorou, not her first time on horseback, expertly wielded the reins and rode out of the stable.

"Gu Qing, what kind of trouble has the family encountered? Tell me in detail."

The three fine horses started to advance at an even pace along the road.

Gu Qing looked at Gu Xiaorou and said, "The other three major families in Carefree City are secretly joining forces, looking to swallow up our Gu family’s business. Our family’s situation is becoming worse, and those three families are becoming increasingly aggressive!"

"How could this happen? Although the four great families of Carefree City are competitors, there has never been a situation where three families gang up on one. This is too abnormal!" Gu Xiaorou felt surprised.

"Someone in the family investigated and found that those three families were brought together by an outsider!"

"It is said that this person came from the Lu family!"

"That fellow is unbelievably strong. We are no match for him at all!" Gu Qing’s expression turned grim, "You should know what kind of family the Lu family of the Kunlun Domain is; if they want to wipe out all four of our families, it would be a matter of a moment."

Gu Qing glanced at Lu Chuan, knowing he had some connection to the Lu family, but it seemed to be a tenuous one.

Gu Xiaorou pondered for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Chuan and asked, "Lu Chuan, do you think it’s possible that the Lu family got wind of our collaboration and sent someone to take revenge?"

Lu Chuan responded gravely, "That must be the reason. If that’s the case, then I’ll need to give the Lu family a show of force, to let them know that I, Lu Chuan, have arrived in the Kunlun Domain!"

"No matter what, the Kunlun Domain’s Lu family must pay a price!"

Seeing Lu Chuan so confident, Gu Qing couldn’t help but wonder: Could this person from the secular world really have the strength to contend with a martial artist of the Kunlun Domain?

The four continued their journey on horseback.

After a little more than an hour, Lu Chuan could see a city in the distance.

It was truly an ancient city, just like the ones Lu Chuan had seen in historical dramas.

If he didn’t know he had passed through the portal between two worlds, he might doubt whether he had traveled back in time.

Moving forward, they had to dismount upon entering the city and lead their horses through the streets.

Gu Qing led the way through the town streets towards the Gu family estate.

The streets were bustling with people in plain homespun clothes.

Only a few nobles wore clothes made of fine silks and satins.

After turning several streets, Lu Chuan and the three others arrived at the grand entrance of the Gu residence.

Two Gu family guards stood in front of the vermilion gate.

Gu Qing tied the three horses at the entrance and said to Lu Chuan, "Please, you are an honored guest; several family elders have been waiting for a long time."

Lu Chuan stepped over the threshold and entered the front courtyard.

Seeing the familiar surroundings, Gu Xiaosang excitedly shouted, "We’re finally home, running around outside is truly exhausting!" She relaxedly called out and walked in.

At that moment, a silver-haired elder hurried over and respectfully said, "The Miss has returned, I’ll go inform the Family Head immediately!"

He was the family’s caretaker, managing all manner of chores, and upon seeing Gu Xiaorou’s figure, he quickly turned to notify the Family Head of her arrival.
