Suddenly, a voice came from behind the three of them. The three of them turned around and saw a young man standing about 30 meters away.
With the strength of Lu An and the other two, not to mention discovering the person behind them, as long as they wanted to, they could observe every single action of every single person in Starfire City. They naturally knew that someone was behind them, but they didn't have the intention to be secretive.
Level 7 Celestial.
The other party's strength was instantly determined by the three of them. It was obvious that this was a student, and he was two or three years older than Lu An. Lu An had left this place for a long time, so the people here naturally didn't recognize him.
Lu An didn't want to expose his whereabouts, nor did he want to disturb the people of Starfire Academy. He only came back to take a look, and said, "I was once a student of the academy, so I came back to take a look."
"Once a student?" This young man obviously didn't buy Lu An's words, and said loudly, "If you want to take a look, you can do it during the day. Why must you do it in the middle of the night?"
Lu An smiled bitterly, he didn't expect the other party to be so persistent, and said, "Since you can't, we'll leave now. Sorry for the disturbance."
"Impudent!" The young man immediately shouted angrily, "Is Starfire Academy a place where you can come and go as you please? Stay here! "
As he said that, the young man immediately rushed towards Lu An. Lightning flashed all over his body, and he looked very imposing.
Lu An smiled even more bitterly. He naturally couldn't make a move against the students of the academy. He glanced at the two girls, and was about to disappear from the academy with them.
However, just as Lu An was about to move, his body suddenly trembled and stopped. The two girls looked at Lu An doubtfully. At this moment, the student opposite them had already rushed in front of Lu An.
Buzz.
Instantly, the student's body was fixed in the air. Lu An didn't hurt him, he just wanted him to stop.
At this moment, his eyes were looking forward, and the two girls naturally looked forward as well. In the darkness, a figure was rapidly rushing over.
"Who is it? Who dares to make a move in our Starfire Academy in the middle of the night?! "
Bang!
A figure quickly rushed to the student's side. Every step was very heavy, and he finally stopped! However, when he saw the three figures in front of him, especially the one in the middle, he was stunned!
"Lu An?!"
Beauty Yang and Yao were both startled. They looked at this man who looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old in confusion. This man looked simple and honest, and his body was quite burly. Could it be that he knew Lu An?
That's right, this person did know Lu An. He was Lu An's former classmate, Gao Dashan.
Lu An smiled and said, "Brother Gao, long time no see."
After hearing Lu An's words, Gao Dashan took a deep breath, opened his eyes wide, and said happily, "It's really you, Lu An!"
As he spoke, Gao Dashan was about to rush to Lu An and hug him, but he stopped as soon as he started. Although Lu An did not have any imposing manner, the two women beside him made him not dare to take a step forward.
Naturally, Beauty Yang and Yao did not release their auras. Otherwise, the two of them would not be able to withstand it. However, beauty itself was a type of aura, let alone Beauty Yang and Yao.
Seeing Gao Dashan stop, Lu An smiled and said, "These two are my wives."
Hearing this, Gao Dashan took a deep breath and looked at Lu An with eyes full of envy and jealousy. At this time, the students at the side finally understood that the person in front of them was actually the Starfire Hero, Lu An!
Lu An had already removed the restrictions on the students. Gao Dashan was very excited and quickly said, "I didn't expect you to come back! Are you free? Let's go out and have a drink! "
Lu An looked at the two women with an inquiring gaze. The two women naturally did not stop him and nodded lightly.

Starfire City, in a tavern that was still open late at night, only Lu An's table was in the entire lobby.
Gao Dashan and this student were obviously a bit uneasy. If it was only Lu An, it would be fine, but the two peerless beauties beside Lu An made them feel suffocated. Compared to the temperament of these two women, they simply did not have the face to stay and developed a great sense of inferiority.
However, fortunately, Lu An's attitude towards him was still as close as before. After chatting for a while, Gao Dashan gradually let go. After taking a sip of tea, he said to Lu An, "It's been four years since I last saw you, right? I remember very clearly that when the army attacked, you came to find me and Li Dongshi and asked if we were willing to leave this place with you. "
"En." Lu An nodded. Gao Dashan and Li Dongshi did not follow him. He only took Liu Yi and Kong Yan away from Starfire City and asked, "Where's Brother Dongshi?"
Gao Dashan's eyes dimmed and said, "Dead."
Hearing this, Lu An's body trembled!
"It was that battle that year. He died in battle." Speaking of this, Gao Dashan's emotions did not fluctuate much. He only said calmly, "At that time, many Heavenly Masters died in that battle, including the teachers in the academy. However, the power of the rebel army was not something we could resist. The fall of Starfire City, the rise of a new Sacred Ground, and the Midnight Kingdom became a subordinate country. "
Lu An was startled when he heard this. He had heard from Bian Qingliu that the Midnight Kingdom had become a subordinate country, but he did not expect the Midnight Kingdom to have a Sacred Ground. If there was a Sacred Ground, why would it be affiliated to someone else?
"There are no Level 6 Heavenly Masters in the Sacred Ground?" Lu An asked doubtfully.
"Yes." Gao Dashan said.
"Then why are you still submitting to others?" Lu An asked again.
"Because there is a Level 7 Heavenly Master in the neighboring country." Gao Dashan looked at Lu An and said gloomily, "So these eight countries have already become the property of this Level 7 Heavenly Master. No one dares to resist."
Level 7 Heavenly Master?
Lu An was silent when he heard this. Indeed, the area formed by the eight countries was similar to a medium-sized country. It was indeed a range that a Level 7 Heavenly Master could control.
"I see that the night lights in Meteor Trail City are no different from before. Everyone's lives shouldn't be affected too much, right?" Lu An said.
"En." Gao Dashan nodded, but gritted his teeth and smiled, "The taxes haven't changed, and the laws haven't changed. If there wasn't that order, it would indeed be no different from before. "
Looking at Gao Dashan's appearance, Lu An's eyes moved slightly and asked, "What order?"
Gao Dashan glanced at the two girls beside Lu An, took a deep breath, then looked at Lu An and said in a deep voice, "It's nothing to say such a shameful thing. Ever since the Midnight Kingdom became a subordinate country, there was an order that every city must send a woman every month."
Lu An frowned when he heard this.
"The woman must be beautiful, and must be a lady from a noble family. She must be well-educated and have a cheerful personality. Most importantly, she must be gentle." Gao Dashan clenched his fists and gritted his teeth as he said, "If the woman is an imposter and is not a lady from a noble family, the entire city will suffer!"
Lu An's frown deepened when he heard this. Not only was this requirement excessive, it was also very strange.
"How could the Skylight City Chamber of Commerce bear to hand over their own daughters? Once they were handed over, they wouldn't even know if they were dead or alive. There was no way for them to return. One chamber of commerce handed over a servant that they had nurtured for many years to impersonate their own daughter. When they found out, the whole family was executed! " Gao Dashan's expression was ugly as he said, "In the end, they had to forcefully take the daughter of the city lord away before the matter was settled."
"This rule has been around for three years now. After sending away so many women, the various chambers of commerce couldn't take it anymore. They could only nurture more women from a young age to ensure their safety." Gao Dashan gritted his teeth and said, "Tomorrow is the beginning of the month. We have to hand over another woman. This time, the woman we have to hand over is none other than Teacher Li Hongtang's daughter! "
Li Hongtang?!
Lu An frowned immediately. He would never forget who Li Hongtang was. After he killed someone in Skylight City, it was Li Hongtang who let him go and took on everything himself to protect him!
"Li Hongtang is just a teacher, not some high-ranking official?" Lu An asked with a frown.
"Teacher Li's wife is from a scholarly family, so she counts." Gao Dashan shook his head and said, "Furthermore, the various chambers of commerce have already handed over all the people that they can, so it's Teacher Li's turn to take over. In order to protect everyone, Teacher Li has to be sacrificed. "
"…"
Lu An's gaze was heavy. He knew what kind of character Li Hongtang had. He wasn't a bad person, but he had a very bad temper. If someone wanted to snatch his daughter away, he would probably go berserk. However, if even Li Hongtang agreed to this matter, it meant that the pressure of this matter was too great.
If it was someone else's matter, Lu An might not care, but if it was Li Hongtang's matter, he would definitely care.
At the side, Gao Dashan looked at Lu An's silent expression and raised his hand to pat Lu An's shoulder lightly. "I remember that you were a level three Heavenly Master the last time you came back. You should be even stronger now! You've already left Meteor Trail City for so long, so don't worry about the matters here anymore. You're the most talented person in the academy and the pride of our batch. Being able to grow up is the wish of all of us. "
Hearing Gao Dashan's words, Lu An finally raised his head and said, "When will the Holy Land come to pick me up tomorrow?"
