The Lanterns, People from the City Lord's Mansion
Hearing Mu Qing's words, the worry on Fan Luoyu's face deepened.
"I don't understand either. Why would someone of his standing take an interest in such a small pill shop?" Mu Qing shook her head.
"There must be something hidden behind it. This might be our breakthrough."
"Lu Changgen," Xu Zimo murmured the name under his breath.
Then the corner of his lips curled into a smile.
"Can you help me contact him?" Fan Luoyu asked.
"Who?" Mu Qing asked.
"Lu Changgen."
"I can't. I have no access to someone of his standing," Mu Qing said, shaking her head.
"They already belong to the upper ranks of the Slaughter Immortal Sect. Even my father wouldn't dare offend them too much."
Seeing Fan Luoyu grow increasingly dejected, Mu Qing could not help saying, "Don't overthink it. If it truly comes to it, just let go.
After all, provoking that kind of madman—shouldn't your own safety be the most important thing?"
"How could I not know that?" Fan Luoyu smiled bitterly.
"But this was what Father left behind. It was his greatest wish before he died. No matter what, I have to give it a try."
After saying that, Fan Luoyu looked at Xu Zimo and asked expectantly, "Does Young Master Xu have any ideas?"
"Yes," Xu Zimo nodded and said seriously. "Kill Lu Changgen, and wouldn't everything be over?"
Fan Luoyu had initially held some hope, but after hearing Xu Zimo finish, her confidence instantly vanished.
Their Lineage had some influence, but it was limited.
Even if they invited their ancestor out of seclusion, he might not necessarily be a match for the other side.
"I'll visit the three major suppliers tomorrow first. We'll take one step at a time," Fan Luoyu replied.
