Chapter 586: 546 Chapter The Temptation of Martial Emperor Realm_1

The lively Lantern Festival continued until midnight before gradually coming to an end.

After the festival ended, Hua Qianwu paid a visit to the City Lord’s Mansion.

At the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion, Yuan Gangquan stood at the door, greeting Hua Qianwu with a beaming smile as she arrived.

Before long, Hua Qianwu, followed by a group of attendants, reached the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion.

Upon seeing her, Yuan Gangquan’s heartbeat instantly quickened. Even though he had numerous beautiful wives and concubines, in comparison to Hua Qianwu before him, they all seemed to pale significantly.

"Miss Hua’s personal visit to Carefree City is such a pity I couldn’t welcome you myself," he said.

Hua Qianwu dismissed the matter, "It’s alright. My arrival was abrupt; it’s normal that you weren’t prepared."

"Then... may I boldly ask if you’ve come to Carefree City simply to hold a Lantern Festival?"

After speaking, he sized up Hua Qianwu with a face full of curiosity, waiting for her reply.

In his view, Hua Qianwu’s decision to hold the Lantern Festival in Carefree City was quite abrupt, not seeming like a usual occurrence.

If she truly intended to hold a Lantern Festival here and perform a dance show, surely there would have been a need for various preparations in advance.

To come so suddenly, staying for just a day or two, with the whole city only making simple preparations, all of it seemed far too rushed.

Hua Qianwu looked at Yuan Gangquan and asked, "Then what do you think could be my purpose for coming here?"

Yuan Gangquan spread his hands helplessly, "How would I know, Miss Hua? I’m very welcoming of you holding festivities in Carefree City, I’m just curious."

"An outstanding dancer like you should normally require a lot of advance preparation for a public performance," he said.

"So... that’s why I’m curious..."

Yuan Gangquan smiled awkwardly.

Hua Qianwu sighed lightly and said, "It’s normal for you to be puzzled, as I am indeed here to find someone."

Yuan Gangquan promptly stood upright and looked at Hua Qianwu seriously.

"Miss Hua, who are you looking for? I will certainly assist you in the search!"

Hua Qianwu took out a portrait from her purse, unfolded it, and handed it to Yuan Gangquan for inspection.

Upon receiving the portrait, Yuan Gangquan’s eyes widened in surprise as he looked at it.

Seeing his unusual reaction, Hua Qianwu quickly asked, "Do you recognize him?"

Yuan Gangquan immediately grew nervous; the portrait clearly depicted Lu Chuan, and it was done so distinctly!

He started to stammer, unsure of what to say.

He didn’t know what Hua Qianwu intended to do with Lu Chuan; if she were an enemy, revealing Lu Chuan’s information would mean offending someone.

As the City Lord, he naturally knew the principle of keeping everyone happy; the best option was not to offend anyone at all.

"This person looks very familiar. If you search around Carefree City, you should be able to find him,"

Yuan Gangquan took a deep breath and said.

Upon hearing this, Hua Qianwu took back the portrait and continued to look at Yuan Gangquan, asking, "If you tell me this person’s information, I promise you, I’ll help you break through the Martial King Realm and enter the Martial Emperor Realm!"

At these words, Yuan Gangquan’s eyes widened instantly!

The Martial Emperor Realm!

That was something he didn’t even dare to dream of, believing that in his lifetime, he would find it very hard to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm.

This realm seemed too distant and unattainable to him!

He feared that even if he exhausted the rest of his life, he would still find it difficult to touch the barriers of the Martial Emperor Realm!

But now, Hua Qianwu had given him a grand promise, actually offering to help him break through to the Martial Emperor Realm!

Yuan Gangquan took a deep breath, and the shock in his heart lingered for a long time.

"Martial Emperor Realm? Do you really have a way to help me break through to the Martial Emperor Realm?"

"Of course, as long as you cooperate with me to find Lu Chuan, and help me bring him back to Flower City, I will help you break through to the Martial Emperor Realm. As a member of the Hua family, I would not deceive you,"

"You know, I have a big reputation in Flower City, many admirers, and I wouldn’t do anything to tarnish my own reputation."

After hearing her words, Yuan Gangquan was immensely tempted; it was an enormous opportunity for him!

If he could seize it and successfully break through to the Martial Emperor Realm, then he’d have the strength to flourish in a broader world.

No longer would he need to stay in this small city, having to act subservient whenever outsiders arrived.

Although being a local strongman was already quite good, everyone has greater ambitions, and he was no exception.

After seriously considering the conditions given by Hua Qianwu, Yuan Gangquan became earnest.

"Miss Hua, I can cooperate with you. I will tell you everything about him right now."

Hua Qianwu’s gaze turned cold. The man before her had indeed been deceiving her.

"The person you’re looking for is named Lu Chuan. He’s not a native of Carefree City; he comes from the secular world and currently resides with the Gu family, betrothed to a junior female member of the Gu clan,"

"Not long ago, he killed a young master of the Lu Clan, prompting the Lu Family to dispatch the Lu Family Army here to hunt for the murderer,"

"However, the rapid advance troops of the Lu Family Army arrived here first, and before they could uncover any leads, they vanished in the city without a trace."

Yuan Gangquan said seriously, "This... is all I know. In any case, the person you’re looking for is no ordinary individual."

After listening to him, Hua Qianwu became curious about Lu Chuan.

"Lu Chuan... He also bears the surname Lu, and he killed someone from the Lu family; could it be an internal family conflict?"

Yuan Gangquan hurriedly shook his head, negating Hua Qianwu’s speculation, "Impossible, this young man named Lu Chuan came here from the secular world. He’s very new to the Kunlun Domain; he doesn’t seem to have been raised here from childhood."

"The Lu family has always been a top aristocratic family in the Kunlun Domain, with no additional forces entrenched in the secular world,"

After contemplating for a moment, Yuan Gangquan continued, "Carefree City is close to the passage between the two worlds. If the Lu family also had influence in the secular world, I would likely often see members of the Lu clan here in Carefree City,"

After listening to Yuan Gangquan’s analysis, Hua Qianwu nodded slightly, feeling that his points were valid. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"In that case, the relationship between this Lu Chuan and the Lu family seems quite complex. It looks like there might be some vendetta between them, strong enough to make Lu Chuan bold enough to kill a member of the Lu family in the Kunlun Domain."

Hua Qianwu smiled faintly and continued, "If that’s the case, then summon this Lu Chuan to see me tomorrow. I want to have a private chat with him,"

At these words, Yuan Gangquan’s face awkwardly twisted as he shook his head, "You want me to summon him?"

"What’s the problem? You are the City Lord of Carefree City after all!"

Yuan Gangquan gave a bitter smile, "Even though I am the City Lord, and my status is much higher than his, in the Kunlun Domain strength is respected. If his strength surpasses mine, what right do I have to summon him? And besides, he has saved my life; he is my savior."

Hearing this, Hua Qianwu sighed in resignation, "If that’s the case, then I’ll find an opportunity to meet him myself. If you can cooperate with me and bring him back to Flower City, the reward I mentioned earlier will be yours immediately!"
