The next day, the first day of August.
The first day of every month was the time to offer up the girl. Before noon, someone from the Holy Land would come to the City Lord's Mansion to pick her up. Before that, the girl had to wait in the City Lord's Mansion. If the messenger didn't send the girl out immediately, they would suffer.
Early in the morning, Li Hongtang's family woke up early. Today was the day his daughter was going to leave. His daughter was sixteen years old this year. She was beautiful, but she was going to be taken to an unknown place. This made Li Hongtang's heart ache.
Li Hongtang was middle-aged, but because of this, he had a lot of white hair. His wife was dressing up his daughter. This was also a requirement of the Holy Land, but Li Hongtang's heart ached when he saw this.
Half an hour later, Li Hongtang's family of three set off for the City Lord's Mansion. Along the way, Li Hongtang didn't say a word.
If he didn't give up his daughter, the Li family would suffer, and so would Meteor Trail City. After weighing the pros and cons, no matter how reluctant he was to give up his daughter, he could only give her away.
The distance from home to the City Lord's Mansion wasn't far, but Li Hongtang felt that every step he took was exhausting. Finally, the family of three arrived at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion. The people of the City Lord's Mansion were already waiting at the door to welcome them.
The three of them walked in front of the crowd. Just as they were about to enter with the crowd, a voice suddenly rang out not far away.
"Teacher Li!"
Li Hongtang was stunned. He was very familiar with this voice. It was Gao Dashan's voice. Gao Dashan was now a level one Heavenly Master and was an assistant teacher in the school. Because he was once his student, he had never changed his title. However, Li Hongtang didn't know why Gao Dashan would appear here. He subconsciously looked to the right.
However, when he saw the person beside Gao Dashan, he was shocked!
"Lu An?!" Li Hongtang said in shock. He couldn't even believe his eyes!
"Teacher Li." Together with Gao Dashan, Lu An walked in front of Li Hongtang and said with a smile, "Long time no see."
"Brat, why are you here?" Li Hongtang was obviously very happy, but he couldn't be happy at all. He said, "I'm in a bad mood recently. After I'm done, you can accompany me to drink!"
Hearing this, Lu An smiled and said, "I'm here to solve your problem, teacher."
Li Hongtang was stunned as he looked at Gao Dashan. Gao Dashan's face was bitter. It was obvious that this kid had already told Lu An everything.
"Since you know, you should understand that this is not a problem that you and I can solve." Li Hongtang looked at Lu An with an ugly expression and said in a heavy tone, "I know you want to help me. I appreciate your kindness, but no one can help me with this matter."
At this moment, the people from the City Lord's Mansion shouted, "What are you waiting for? What if the messenger came early and couldn't see him? Let's go! "
Hearing this, Li Hongtang's face turned even uglier. He turned around and was about to walk inside with his wife and daughter. At this moment, Lu An asked, "Can I go in with Teacher?"
Li Hongtang stared blankly for a moment. His heart was as dead as ash now, and he nodded. After all, the person they were sending off today was Li Hongtang's daughter. The City Lord's Mansion's people didn't stop them and listened to Li Hongtang's words.
Gao Dashan also followed, and the five of them walked into the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord's Mansion was still the City Lord's Mansion of the past, but it was no longer the City Lord.
The five of them walked in the City Lord's Mansion, and soon came to an empty courtyard. The current City Lord was already waiting here. When the messenger came, even the City Lord couldn't neglect and had to personally welcome him.
Seeing Li Hongtang bring him in, the City Lord nodded to Li Hongtang. The five of them had seats to sit down, but no one spoke in the courtyard, it was dead silent.
This feeling was like being tortured.
Time passed by little by little. Finally, after about an hour, a light suddenly lit up, and a transmission array appeared.
Then, three figures walked out and stood in the courtyard. Immediately, all the people sitting around stood up, including the City Lord.
"Greetings to the messenger!" Everyone bowed.
The three messengers looked around and nodded with satisfaction. The leader said, "Is the person ready?"
"Ready." The City Lord hurriedly replied and turned to look at Li Hongtang. Li Hongtang's face was ugly. Things had finally come to this point.
Taking a deep breath, Li Hongtang turned to look at his daughter. His daughter was nervous, her eyes were full of tears, but she knew she had no choice but to move forward.
However — —
Just as she was about to walk forward, a figure suddenly stepped in front of her, causing her to be stunned.
She wasn't the only one who was stunned. Everyone was stunned. They all turned to look at the young man standing beside the woman.
It was not anyone else, it was Lu An.
In an instant, whether it was the three messengers or the people in the City Lord's Mansion, they all frowned. The City Lord hurriedly said, "Who are you? What are you doing?! "
Li Hongtang also panicked and hurriedly said to Lu An, "Lu An, you can't mess around at this time, otherwise I can't protect you, and everyone will suffer!"
Lu An turned to look at Li Hongtang, revealing a reassuring smile and said, "Teacher Li, I said I'm here to help you."
With that, Lu An turned to look at the three messengers and said calmly, "You can't take her away. I'll have to trouble the three of you to return to the Holy Land and ask the head of the Holy Land to come here."
As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped!
Was this person crazy?!
Li Hongtang stared at Lu An in shock, unable to say a word. When these words came out, everyone knew it was over.
Everything was over. It was like spilled water, once it came out, it could not be taken back.
Sure enough, the faces of the three messengers immediately sank, and the leader immediately shouted, "Impudent! Not only did you disobey orders, you even dared to speak rudely to the head of the Holy Land. I think your Meteor Trail City doesn't want to live anymore! Take down this arrogant person first! "
"Yes!" The two beside him immediately nodded and rushed out, rushing towards Lu An!
Both of them were level three Heavenly Masters and elders in the Holy Land. Their strength was naturally very strong, and no one present was a match for them. Seeing the two rushing towards Lu An, no one could do anything and could only watch helplessly.
However — —
After the two people rushed in front of Lu An, their bodies instantly froze, maintaining their charging posture, unable to move.
In this way, it was as if time and space had stopped.
Everyone was stunned and looked at this scene in astonishment. For a moment, they did not even react to what had happened. But when they regained their senses, they immediately looked at this young man with their mouths wide open!
Not only the people of the City Lord's Mansion, but the leader of the messengers was also shocked! Although he was a level four Heavenly Master, it was difficult for him to make the two people stop in the air in such a posture!
However, if someone dared to make a move on the people of the Holy Land, he naturally would not ignore it. He immediately roared, and the aura of his whole body instantly exploded! She was a fire attribute Heavenly Master. The violent airflow mixed with flames swept out, and the impact alone was enough to destroy half of the City Lord's Mansion!
However — —
This person's aura had just gushed out from his body for less than two feet when it was completely frozen in the air. Just like the two people just now, his body could not move, and even the flames around his body did not change.
Seeing this, everyone was shocked again, and even their whole body was numb.
"This time, can the three of you help me pass on the message?" Looking at the three people who were completely frozen, Lu An did not have any aura, and said calmly, "Tell your Holy Land's Head to come here quickly, don't let me go to your Holy Land personally, or else you will have to bear the consequences."
After speaking, the three people's space imprisonment was instantly released. The three people were relieved, and even their legs went soft and they almost knelt on the ground. The two people, as if they had seen a devil, did not dare to stay in front of Lu An and quickly ran back to their boss. The leader looked at the young man, and he finally understood that this young man was not someone he could deal with. He did not dare to say anything, and could only say loudly, "If you have the ability, don't go!"
With that, the three people opened the transmission array again and disappeared from the courtyard.
After the transmission array disappeared, the whole courtyard was dead silent. Everyone looked at the young man standing in front of Li Hongtang, trembling and not daring to say a word.
The City Lord was the same. Although this young man had offended the Holy Land, he did not dare to say anything. This young man could make the messengers unable to resist, and could easily kill him.
But he really did not expect that he would be so unlucky to encounter such a thing. If the Holy Land's Head really came, he would definitely be punished and die without a doubt.
