Six days later.
New Year's Eve.
Another year had come, but the people who knew each other had their own things.
Because of the new year, Liu Yi and Liu Lan had returned from the Montenegrin Empire. However, when they returned, they were told that Beauty Yang and the City Lord had already left for a few days. Liu Yi could roughly guess what had happened, but she did not leave. Instead, she rested in the City Lord's Mansion with Liu Lan and waited for the others to return.
Not long after, Yao also arrived. New Year was the New Year of the Eight Ancient Eras. Beauty Yang had once said that the Eight Ancient Eras would appear every once in a while. Only then did she understand why Sengoku would never celebrate this festival. However, she still came here.
Yao had not seen Liu Yi and Liu Lan for a long time. When she saw them again, she had a lot to say. Especially when she found out that Liu Yi had become a Level 7 Heavenly Master, she was extremely shocked. She could not help but feel happy for Liu Yi.
"Big sister Liu becoming a Level 7 Heavenly Master is a great thing. Although Miss Fu looks cold, her heart is still very kind." Yao said happily.
Liu Yi also nodded. Although it had been seven days since she received the inheritance, and she had gradually gotten used to her current strength, she still felt that it was a bit unreal. She really never thought that she would become a Level 7 Heavenly Master one day. She never thought that such good luck would fall on her head.
All of this was given to her by Fu Yu. Perhaps Fu Yu did not even care about this inheritance, but to her, it was a great gift.
"Big sister Yi and Big sister Lan, how are you two doing in the Montenegrin Empire?" Yao asked.
"Not bad. We're slowly getting on the right track." Liu Yi smiled and said, "The Alkaid Chamber of Commerce's business is now scheduled for half a year later. It's already very good to have such a situation at the beginning. I don't have to worry about it for a while."
"I'm also very good." Liu Lan said, "Other than cultivation, I've also learned a lot of business methods from big sister Yi. Now, I can also help big sister Yi a little."
"What about you?" Liu Yi looked at Yao and asked, "After that incident, did your parents say anything?"
Hearing Liu Yi's question, Yao lowered her head slightly. Her face seemed gloomy as she slowly shook her head.
"I also asked them a lot of things about the Hachiko clan. Most of them were told by Big Sister Yang." Yao's voice was very soft as she said, "They still don't want me to come into contact with Lu An again. They feel that even though he has the protection of the Fu Clan, Lu An is still a dangerous person. If I stay by his side, I will bring about a fatal disaster, and it will also implicate Sengoku."
As she spoke, Yao paused, lowered her head, and said, "Father said … Sengoku was able to survive in a corner of the continent for ten thousand years, and it is not easy for them to encounter any more mishaps."
"…"
Liu Yi and Liu Lan looked at each other and could only sigh. Compared to Yao, they were much more relaxed, as they could make their own decisions. However, Yao was restricted in every aspect. The power behind her basically did not allow her to do as she pleased.
"I believe that when Lu An returns, all problems will be easily solved." Liu Yi looked at Yao, smiled, and said, "We should all believe in his ability. He will definitely return to protect us, and bring us back together."
Following that, Liu Yi told them about the Fu Clan, and said, "Since Fu Yu was able to fight for ten years for Lu An, it means that she is confident that Lu An will become strong within ten years. Our knowledge is not as good as Fu Yu's, so why should we worry more? "
"We only need to wait for him for ten years, that's all."
"That's right." Liu Lan nodded, and said, "It's only ten years, it's not long for us."
Hearing their words, Yao could only nod lightly, and said, "No matter how long it is, I can still wait."
After the three of them chatted for a while, Yao suddenly thought of something, and said, "I'll go fetch Shuang 'er. She is also a member of the Lu Clan, so she can't be left out."
Liu Yi smiled, and said, "Okay."
Liu Lan entered the teleportation array, and not long after, Shuang 'er came back with her. Although Shuang 'er was still young, after three years, she had begun to become slim and graceful, and had become a real girl. In addition, Shuang 'er was kind and willing to chat with everyone, so everyone liked her very much.
"I wonder where little sister Yan is now." Liu Yi sighed lightly, and said, "I wonder if she will come back for the New Year."
Hearing Liu Yi's words, the other three fell silent, and Liu Lan said, "Little sister Yan has a strong personality. Last time when we parted ways, she refused to stay, and only said that she wanted to go out to train. Actually, with her strength … every time I think of her, I'm very worried. "
Liu Yi also nodded lightly, and said, "This girl was famous for being independent when she was still in the academy. For a girl to create her own team to hunt exotic beasts, just this kind of courage and courage is not something an ordinary girl has."
With that, Liu Yi's eyebrows tightened, and she shook her head and said, "I just hope that she won't force herself too much."
The other three nodded, Kong Yan was the least talkative in the family, and her personality was also a bit of a loner. But everyone knew that her feelings for Lu An were not any less than anyone else, which was why they felt so sorry for her.
After a long silence, Yao softly opened her mouth, and said, "I wonder … if Lu An will come back."
"…"
When these words came out, although the four women did not do anything, their hearts trembled.
That's right, compared to anyone else, the one they cared about the most was not others, but Lu An.
They were gathered together because of Lu An, and because of Lu An, they were sitting together at this time. If not for Lu An, they would still not know each other, and even if they knew each other, it would be impossible for them to have such a relationship.
The reason why they were here, was all because of Lu An.
Even if they knew that Lu An would be in danger if he came back, and that even Purple Lake City might be under surveillance, they were just waiting for Lu An to appear. But in their hearts, they still had a trace of hope, hope that he would come back.
Every year, no matter where he was, he would come back, and even give them gifts. If Lu An did not come back this year, they were afraid that he would not come back for the next nine years.
Without any news, they did not know if he was alive or dead.
"Don't think about it." Liu Yi opened her mouth, and immediately the other three women raised their heads and said, "If he wants to come back, he will naturally come back. Even if he doesn't come back, we have to be happy, so that he won't be worried."
With that, Liu Yi called for the servants, and ordered them to prepare the banquet. Liu Yi and Yang Mei were like sisters, this was something that everyone knew, so the people here would naturally listen to her orders.
Soon, night fell, and the four women temporarily put down the thoughts in their hearts, and happily talked and laughed. The banquet was also prepared, and the four women looked at the sumptuous dishes in front of them, but the banquet was much more deserted.
"It seems that big sister Yang won't be coming back." Liu Lan said softly.
"En." Liu Yi nodded and said, "Accepting the inheritance is more important, we can't be careless, let's eat by ourselves."
With that, Liu Yi picked up the glass on the table and said to the other three women, "This is a rare gathering, although there are only the four of us, we must not go back until we are drunk."
With that said, even Yao Yao and Shuang 'er smiled. Yao Yao had never drunk before, and Shuang 'er was not old enough, but now they all wanted to get drunk.
"Listen to big sister." Yao Yao said happily, "Drink as much as big sister wants."
The four looked at each other and smiled, and raised their glasses, but just as they were about to drink, suddenly Liu Yi's body trembled, as if she felt something, and stopped what she was doing, and looked outside the door.
Although the other three did not move as fast as Liu Yi, just as the wine was about to enter their mouths, a cold voice suddenly came from outside the door, a very familiar voice.
"Lu Clan's banquet without me, the Patriarch, you dare to start?"
