2026-07-25 12:32:54The man with the pelican mask listened to what they had to say. But after hearing their reason for calling him, which was to complete a task for the city lord, the man, who was also Lu Chen, shook his head. “That's almost impossible for me right now, but why are you guys insisting on helping to heal people in the city lord's residence?” This question was not just an ordinary question for Lu Chen. It was very important to listen and assess for himself while looking for any benefits in each of his actions. But seeing how they treated the city lord's task as a benefit if successful, it certainly made Lu Chen, the man with the pelican mask, almost agree.
“So, the reward is pretty good? No wonder you guys really want to solve the city lord's problem, but what happened to the city lord is not a common thing. Even with my current abilities, it's difficult to help the city lord!” Hearing that Lu Chen couldn't possibly succeed, they immediately showed troubled expressions, "Is that so? Is there no way to solve this problem? Even if we fail, there won't be any problems with the lord of the city, but the store's reputation is still at stake in this job!" Actually, even if they failed, nothing bad would happen, but as a large store in the entire kingdom, if their reputation declined because of them, the central government might come to punish them or demote them. That was what made them all afraid. Lu Chen saw how sad they looked and couldn't help but shake his head. They should have realized that instead of promising to help, it would have been better to say that this was an impossible task. In fact, Lu Chen himself had been investigating the same problem for several months, but he hadn't found anything wrong with the victims. Lu Chen had also tried to heal the victims, but his research had completely failed at that time. Of course, when he heard that they all wanted to help the city lord solve the problem at his residence, Lu Chen was a little surprised. "All right, tell me who the victims are at the city lord's residence? Don't tell me it's the city lord's own servant, because there's no way he would come to you just because of a servant!" Tian Sen's sudden assertion became a little stronger, causing everyone in the shop to fall silent. They scratched their heads, turned their heads to the side, or avoided Lu Chen's gaze indirectly because they wanted to keep the identity of the victim a secret. Lu Chen smiled after waiting for some time without an answer. Finally, Lu Chen stood up to leave the shop because there was no definite answer from the shop's higher-ups. Those who saw Lu Chen leaving asked him to sit down, but Lu Chen insisted on leaving if they were still hiding the identity of the victim at the mayor's residence. Lu Chen assumed they no longer wanted to cooperate with him, so with a slight threat, they immediately fell silent for a moment before finally promising to tell Lu Chen the identity of the person. After finding out who the victim was, Lu Chen's expression became unnatural and he was not very friendly towards them all. “Actually, it is the city lord's daughter who is sick, that's what they said!” Lu Chen was silent. The mayor's daughter? Lu Chen had never heard that the mayor had a daughter. But seeing how serious and afraid they all were, Lu Chen became a little convinced and believed them. Of course, that was on the outside, but in Lu Chen's heart, he did not believe the mayor's claim that his daughter was sick. It was common knowledge in the city that the mayor did not have a daughter. Of course, if the mayor said this was a secret mission, it was possible that the daughter he was referring to was the mayor's secret child. Or maybe she was someone so important that not just anyone could come and see the child the mayor was referring to. Lu Chen tapped his index finger on the arm of the chair several times. This was indeed a good thing for his future in helping the shop. However, meeting the city lord made Lu Chen feel a little heavy, because Lu Chen was afraid that the city lord would see his true identity. That was why Lu Chen hesitated for a moment. "Don't worry, young master, we can help you hide your face. So I can make sure that no one can see your face, including the mayor!" Lu Chen tapped his index finger on the arm of the chair several times. This was indeed a good thing for his future in helping the shop. However, meeting the city lord made Lu Chen feel a little heavy, because Lu Chen was afraid that the city lord would see his true identity. That was why Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, "Don't worry, young master, we can help you hide your face. That way, I can make sure that no one can see your face, including the mayor!" One of them firmly offered an artifact that could cover his aura and face. That way, Lu Chen wouldn't have to be afraid to go anywhere with the artifact. "All right, if it can be a useful tool to keep my identity hidden. I want to see for myself how severe the city lord's daughter's illness is!" Hearing that Lu Chen was willing to help made them all very happy. They began planning to go see the city lord the next day, and Lu Chen also promised to meet them tomorrow in front of the city lord's house. After finalizing the agreement with the leader of the large shop, the disguised Lu Chen left the shop through the back door. From there, after exiting the alley, Lu Chen took off his mask and changed into the clothes he wore every day. But a few meters after leaving, Lu Chen showed an unhappy expression when he saw a woman and a man with several guards behind them approaching Lu Chen. Of course, Lu Chen wanted to avoid contact with those two people, but who would have thought that they would directly cause trouble for Lu Chen? Even though Lu Chen himself had already avoided them and no longer wanted anything to do with them. The woman holding the man's hand was none other than Lu Chen's ex-fiancée. "Ho? Look at this, it turns out that young master Lu has been dumped by his fiancée. Hahahahahaha!" The man's laughter made Lu Chen a little angry. If it weren't for the fact that he still had things to do, Lu Chen would have wanted to avoid this kind of woman a long time ago. But unexpectedly, his ex-fiancée still wanted to cause trouble for him. If there was a worst time, this was the worst time for Lu Chen. Lu Chen just wanted to leave, but how could that couple let him leave just like that? The arrogant young master ordered his subordinates to surround Lu Chen so he couldn't escape. Lu Chen's expression became slightly frightening as he looked at the young master, who was completely unaware of his position.

11. Inspect
Lu Chen, who heard how this young lady placed her trust in the three executives to let him examine her, felt that she was quite open-minded. Therefore, in response to the efforts of those three old men, Lu Chen certainly couldn't just give up on healing his patient. Lu Chen asked for permission to check her pulse, and only after receiving it did he begin to examine the pulse on the young lady's wrist.“Cold…!” Those were the words that came out of Lu Chen’s mouth the moment his hand made contact with the young woman. Lu Chen channeled energy into his fingers and began carefully checking her pulse.Closing his eyes, Lu Chen used a pulse technique to inspect the flow of blood through the patient's body. After examining her for quite some time, Lu Chen was genuinely shocked by the fact that this woman could still move around in her current condition. Opening his eyes, Lu Chen shook his head and looked at the young miss, who showed no expression at all. It was clear in her eyes that she f
10. Cheated
“I'll open the door, but you guys have to be careful. Because these past few days, the little lady's body has been weakening again, Tu Nan, step back a bit! Tian City said, looking at the three high-ranking officials and Lu Achen. He also didn't forget to send his son away so he wouldn't be affected by the cold air inside. This was not something that someone at the body refinement level could withstand, so Tu Nan reluctantly moved away from the door. “Are you ready? Miss, we're coming in!” After saying “Miss,” City Lord opened the door, and sure enough, a strong, cold air immediately attacked them all. Even though Tu Nan had moved away, he could still feel the cold air from inside the room. "Oh, City Lord. Why did you enter without my permission? I am experiencing a decline in my body, so it's best... no, why are the three of you here, and who is he?" The expression of the woman with the face covering looked with her beautiful blue eyes at the three leaders of the trading room. The
09. the city lord's residence
With such a luxurious carriage, who wouldn't look at them with envy? Even those walking on the street could immediately tell that the carriage belonged to the Green City Chamber of Commerce. Along the way, the three leaders only chatted with Lu Chen, and every time Lu Chen was curious about the person he had to help, the three of them immediately changed the topic. So, during the half-hour trip, Lu Chen didn't find out anything about the real identity of the city lord's daughter. This made Lu Chen feel that he was still less cunning than the three elders in the carriage. He still had to learn how to be more cunning than people who were much older than him.Lu Chen leaned his elbows on the carriage window, rested his chin on his palms, and said to himself, “I still have a lot to learn, huh? Okay, next time I'll definitely get the three of you to talk honestly to me!” “Stop, show us your identities!” A guard stopped the merchant guild's carriage when it arrived at the entrance to the
08. Refrain
”You bastard! You really dare to insult me. Do you realize that your actions will affect the Lu family?”“I don’t know if you’re that great or not. But the Lu family... will never fall just because of trash like you, if you really want to cause trouble with me. As long as you're prepared to bear the consequences, then come on!”At that moment, Lu Chen's gaze became even more determined than before. Those who had felt brave suddenly sensed that something was wrong with their bodies. It felt as if something was pressing down on their shoulders, and they looked at Lu Chen with slightly fearful eyes. They didn't know how Lu Chen could do that to them. It was clear that they didn't feel any strength in Lu Chen's body. And this kid was clearly useless trash, but how could there be such an aura in his body? Meanwhile, Lu Chen just smiled as if he didn't feel anything towards the three men who always bothered him. In fact, Lu Chen felt like killing these three troublemakers right now, but tha
07. A look full of contempt
Lu Chen was picked up by his uncle when he returned from the store. When his uncle saw Lu Chen appear, his expression was a little concerned. His uncle seemed upset because Lu Chen had not returned during the day since leaving in the morning. So his uncle was worried that something had happened to Lu Chen out there, but after seeing Lu Chen return, that worry faded a little. However, that did not mean that his anger at Lu Chen for being gone for so long had completely disappeared.“Son, if you are going to be out until evening like this, at least let me know!”Lu Chen sighed. He had left in the morning and only returned in the evening, but that was because he had something he had to do. Lu Chen wasn't doing nothing, but he couldn't tell his uncle that. He was afraid of being misunderstood or of someone else overhearing him, which could cause problems for Lu's family. Although Lu Chen didn't know how powerful his uncle was, he felt he had to be cautious. Even though they were family, L

“Oh, you're the one who accepted my ex-fiancée? It seems your taste is a bit poor, huh?” Lu Chen casually responded to the young master's sarcasm with equally harsh sarcasm. In other words, Lu Chen explained that he himself didn't want that woman. And Lu Chen never cared about the relationship between the two of them, which made Lu Chen's fiancée angry. She scolded Lu Chen, but the man was self-aware and didn't care, simply walking away. Seeing this, the young master, who was the lover of the ex-fiancée, blocked his way. He even showed that he was already at the third level of body refinement. “Look, I'm already at the third level of body refinement. Soon, there will be a sect entrance exam, and I will definitely enter that sect. As for you, you'll just be trash in this city!” He said, insulting Lu Chen as much as he could. He truly did not consider Lu Chen to be capable, and he did not care about Lu Chen either. It was just that Lu Chen's engagement to Cha Yin made him very angry.
