There was no time to think.
Lu Yuan quickly asked, "May I ask Miss Wang, who bought that Putuo flower?"
Wang Qian'er said apologetically, "I'm sorry, our Wang family cannot disclose the buyer's information."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Since that's the case, we won't disturb you any further. Goodbye!" With that, he turned and left the Wang family with his son.
Watching the departing figures of the Lu father and son, exasperated.
Wang Yunlong's gaze suddenly deepened: "If nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to find Chen Nan."
Wang Qian'er nodded slightly, "Although Putuo flowers are rare, they can only be used to refine Taiqing Divine Pills."
"The Lu family just captured those two snake demon sisters, and the Putuo flower slipped away from the Lu family."
"They can naturally find Chen Nan."
Wang Yunlong sighed softly, "I hope Chen Nan can reclaim the Lu family's Wangyou grass."
"However..."
"The situation seems a bit chaotic!"
"Even if he reclaims the Wangyou grass."
"But those two snake demons are controlled by the Lu family."
"It's not a big problem, I believe the good will prevail."
------
Lu Zheng nervously followed his father, "Father, this matter is all my fault."
"If I had agreed to the Wang family's conditions earlier, letting the Old Ancestor help them refine a hundred Body Seizing Pills."
"The Putuo flower would have been in our hands long ago."
"And it wouldn't have been snatched by someone else."
Lu Yuan's face was gloomy as he got into the carriage parked outside the Wang family's gate. "Putuo flower is an extremely niche medicinal material. Besides refining Taiqing Divine Pills, it seems to have no other use."
"And it's priceless. I don't believe ordinary people can afford it!"
"I have a premonition that our Lu family is being targeted!"
"Father, are you referring to Chen Nan of Guangling Prefecture?" Lu Zheng, although one of the eight notorious young masters of Fengdu City.
He was exceptionally intelligent.
He instantly thought of Chen Nan.
After all, he had captured those two snake demons at Chen Nan's house.
Lu Yuan nodded solemnly, "This young man has extraordinary strength and outstanding abilities. It is rumored that he is also a master alchemist."
"If I'm not mistaken, he is very likely to have come to Fengdu City."
"He shouldn't be," Lu Zheng offered his opinion, "Chen Nan is the Director of the Demon Suppressing Division of Guangling Prefecture, a Level Six Yin Messenger."
"To enter the capital without an imperial summons is tantamount to rebellion."
"He shouldn't do such a foolish thing."
Lu Yuan was dismissive, "But besides him, who else could afford that Putuo flower from the Wang family when it was in our hands?"
Lu Zheng fell silent.
That Putuo flower was priceless.
Ordinary families simply couldn't afford it.
Unless...
An alchemist.
"Whether that person is Chen Nan or not, it can be found out by asking!" Lu Yuan took out a communication jade slip and said, "Old Zhang, please help me investigate one thing. Is Chen Nan, the Director of the Demon Suppressing Division of Guangling Prefecture, still in office?"
Entering the capital without an imperial summons was tantamount to rebellion.
It was a capital offense.
He didn't believe Chen Nan would be so foolish.
But if...
He had resigned?
Once he resigned, it would prove that Chen Nan had arrived in Fengdu City.
It would also confirm all his previous guesses.
A moment later.
Lu Yuan got the answer.
Chen Nan had resigned ten days ago.
This matter had caused quite a stir in the imperial court.
Although Chen Nan was a Level Six Yin Messenger.
There were only a few hundred Level Six Yin Messengers in the entire Underworld.
This was the first Level Six Yin Messenger to resign.
"It really is him!"
A sharp coldness flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes. "We have been targeted by that guy."
"He must have known we captured those two snake demons to refine Taiqing Divine Pills."
"That's why he interfered and took that Putuo flower."
"Hmph, does he think that by taking the Wang family's Putuo flower, he can stop us from refining Taiqing Divine Pills?"
"How can there be only one Putuo flower in this world?"
He showed a look of disdain.
In fact, the Lu family had also inquired about a Putuo flower.
However, that Putuo flower had not yet reached ten thousand years of age.
It would take at least another year to be harvested and used as medicine.
Lu Zheng seemed to have thought of something, his face filled with unease. "Father, if Chen Nan knows our intentions."
"Doesn't that mean he already knows we sent people to the Northern Wilderness to search for Wangyou grass?"
Lu Yuan's pupils trembled, "Are you saying he might go deep into the Northern Wilderness to snatch the Putuo flower that our Lu family has?"
Lu Zheng sighed, "This person resigned as a Level Six Yin Messenger for two snake demons. Is there anything in this world he wouldn't dare to do?"
He felt Chen Nan was an idiot.
He became a Level Six Yin Messenger at such a young age.
His future achievements were limitless.
If he was lucky.
He might even become a powerful minister who wielded great influence.
But who would have thought.
He would give up such a bright future for a pair of snake demons?
Calling him an idiot would not be an exaggeration.
"I wish he would dare to go to the Northern Wilderness."
"This way."
"We can obtain both the Wangyou grass and the Putuo flower at the same time!" Lu Yuan showed a meaningful smile.
He took out his communication jade slip and directly transmitted a message, "Dispatch several clan elders to the Northern Wilderness."
"You must eliminate Chen Nan and bring back the Wangyou grass and the Putuo flower!"
Lu Zheng was greatly surprised, "Father, sending clan elders to deal with Chen Nan, isn't that making a mountain out of a molehill?"
Lu Yuan said dismissively, "This young man is powerful. I heard that even the Demon Suppressing Division has no match for him, so we must send clan elders."
Lu Zheng's heart was in turmoil.
It was known that among the Lu family elders, there were not only Earth Ghost Realm powerhouses.
There was even an initial stage Heavenly Ghost Realm expert!
------
In the void.
Chen Nan and Di Ting flew rapidly.
At his current speed.
It would only take two days to reach the Northern Wilderness.
Di Ting suddenly said, "The Lu family has already learned of your existence."
"And they have deduced your plan."
"They have already dispatched experts who are rushing from Fengdu City."
"And they have also sent messages to the powerhouses in the Wilderness to act separately."
"One team will take the Wangyou grass and take a detour, avoiding direct contact with you."
"The other team will travel slowly, flanking you with the Lu family elders."
"They want to annihilate you in one fell swoop!"
Chen Nan was not surprised that the Lu family could deduce his existence and plan.
After all, Putuo flower was a very niche medicinal material.
However.
He didn't feel the slightest sense of danger.
Not only that.
A faint smile even appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Even if the Lu family has planned everything, they don't know that you can eavesdrop on their plans!"
Di Ting proudly raised his head, his eyes full of arrogance. "Of course not, this doggy grandpa can hear all sounds from the Three Realms!"
"Well, for example, things in the mortal world."
"I heard a guy throwing money around in a bar."
"He also said: 'Beauty, I see a bloody aura in your brows. If nothing unexpected happens, you will face a disaster of blood.'"
"'But it's not a big problem. If you believe me, just one night, and I can save you from disaster for the next ten months!'"
Hearing this.
Chen Nan's expression instantly froze.
His eyes were filled with shock.
Had that lecherous Qinglong taken control of his body to pick up girls?
