The moment Lu An spoke, the entire palace fell silent.
The Elf Tribe Leader and the three elders frowned as they looked at Lu An. Although he was from Sengoku, they treated him with respect. Why was this person so untactful? They had already said that they would not give it to him, but he still insisted on it?
The four of them looked at Lu An, but Lu An only looked at the Tribe Leader. He observed the Tribe Leader's expression, took a deep breath, and asked solemnly, "I'm willing to trade something in exchange for Rourou to leave with me."
"No!" The Tribe Leader immediately refused and said loudly, "Don't say that I'm not giving you face. You can choose any woman in my tribe, but not her. I won't trade anything for her!"
Lu An's gaze turned cold as he asked, "Why?"
The Tribe Leader did not speak, and the two sides confronted each other. At this moment, the elder on the side saw the situation and explained to Lu An, "Rourou is a natural beauty and is the most beautiful woman in our tribe. A year ago, after the Tribe Leader merged with her tribe, he has always been very fond of Rourou and wanted to marry her. However, Rourou refused and even threatened to kill herself, leaving the Tribe Leader with no choice. However, the Tribe Leader still loves Rourou very much. In order to persuade Rourou to accept, the Tribe Leader … "
"What?" Lu An frowned as he looked at the stammering elder and asked.
"I punished her. I made her do the hardest and most tiring work in the palace during the day and punish her at night!" Without waiting for the elder to answer, the Tribe Leader said loudly, "I made her suffer a fate worse than death! I don't believe that she can persist and refuse to obey me! "
Hearing this, Lu An's body tensed up, and a murderous aura emerged from the depths of his heart!
However, Lu An suppressed his murderous aura and did not act rashly. He looked at the Tribe Leader indifferently and said, "I see. Since the Tribe Leader loves Rourou so much, I won't take her away. However, there are some words that I have to say to Rourou alone. I hope that the Tribe Leader can make an exception and let me meet her. "
Hearing Lu An take a step back, the Patriarch's expression eased a lot, and he said loudly, "I am not a stingy person, since you and Xiao Rou are friends, you can naturally see her. At the same time, I hope that Young Hero Lu can help me persuade her. I am deeply in love with her. She will soon be able to enjoy glory and wealth with me. Why should she suffer? "
Lu An did not say anything. He just stood up and asked, "Where is she?"
The clan leader looked at the elder, who quickly said, "Rourou should be in the Tian Huan Palace now."
The Chief nodded and yelled, "Men! Bring Young Hero Lu to Tian Huan Palace! "
Immediately, a maidservant entered the palace from outside. Lu An didn't say anything, but followed her to the west side of the palace.
— — —

West of the palace, Tian Huan Palace.
This was the area where all the servants in the palace worked. The maids in Tian Huan Palace had the least status in the palace. The maids with status were all sent to serve the patriarch and elders, while the maids here could only do manual labor every day, and their treatment was the worst.
At this moment, in a small courtyard in Tian Huan Palace, a thin figure was washing her clothes. Her sleeves had long been soaked in water, and her entire arm was as pale as paper. Not only that, there were many bloodstains from being whipped. These bloodstains were very difficult to heal after soaking in water, and they were very painful and torturous.
At this moment, a figure appeared at the entrance of the small courtyard. A maidservant said to the man beside her, "Rourou is inside."
When Rourou heard that someone had arrived, she was so frightened that her whole body trembled. Her weak body swayed, and she couldn't sit properly, falling to the ground. However, she didn't dare to be negligent. She quickly got up from the ground and knelt down facing the door. Her forehead touched the ground, and she prostrated herself in front of the door.
Her movements were so skillful that it made one's heart ache. When she was done, footsteps suddenly appeared in front of her, followed by two warm hands grabbing her arms and gently lifting her up.
"Do you still remember me?" A gentle voice said, "I am Lu An."
"…"
This voice directly shocked Rourou, as if it had passed through her soul. She looked up in disbelief, only to find that the person she had been missing was squatting in front of her!
Rourou was stunned, as if she had turned silly, she stared at Lu An with her eyes wide open.
She looked at Lu An, and Lu An also looked at her. Rourou's hair was messy, and her beautiful face was pale. Her clothes were tattered, and many parts of her skin were exposed. Other than her face, the exposed parts were covered in bloodstains. Rourou's pair of delicate hands were completely swollen, and many parts of her skin were soaked in water.
Lu An felt terrible in his heart. Just as he was about to say something, Rourou suddenly threw herself into his arms, and couldn't help but cry out loud.
Rourou was an extremely quiet girl. When Lu An first saved her, the number of words she spoke in a day could be counted on one hand. Later on, she slowly became more cheerful. To be able to make such a quiet girl cry so miserably, Lu An was also once a slave, so he could totally imagine what Rourou had suffered.
Lu An gently patted Rourou's back, and at the same time, he channeled the Star Diffraction Force into her sea of consciousness, stabilizing her emotions. Although he was willing to let Rourou continue crying in his arms, the situation didn't allow it. He couldn't waste too much time.
"Rourou." Lu An gently pushed Rourou away from his arms, held her shoulders, and asked softly, "Are you willing to leave this place with me?"
Rourou looked into Lu An's eyes, her beautiful face full of tears. She couldn't say a single word, and could only nod her head vigorously.
Her long blue hair fluttered. Seeing this, Lu An's eyes narrowed, and he immediately released his energy to set up a teleportation array, preparing to leave with Rourou. The reason why he didn't get angry with the four elves was also because of this. He wanted to see Rourou and take her away directly!
However, before Lu An's teleportation array was completed halfway, his body suddenly shook, and he looked up at the sky!
"Kid! I knew you didn't have good intentions! " Four figures gathered in the sky, and the clan leader roared angrily. He shouted at Lu An, "I didn't expect the people of Sengoku to go back on their words. See if I don't kill you!"
Following this, the four of them showed no mercy. They immediately released their energy, and four rays of blue light descended from the sky, heading straight for Lu An!
The four of them weren't weak, but Lu An was already at the advanced stage of Class 7, and he wasn't afraid of fighting against four of them. Under normal circumstances, he didn't even need to fight against the four of them. Even if Rourou was still beside him and could die from the shockwaves, he only needed to wrap himself in a layer of ice, and the four of them wouldn't be able to break through. He could set up a teleportation array in the layer of ice, but he couldn't do so now.
The reason was simple. If he used the layer of ice to protect himself, and the four attacks hit the layer of ice, although he and Rourou could survive, the shockwaves from the attacks would instantly reduce the entire city to ashes!
In other words … all the elfins in the city would die!
Lu An didn't expect the other party to attack directly in the palace, and didn't care about the lives of their people! The other elfins weren't in the wrong, and he couldn't let them all die just to save Rourou.
Thus, Lu An stopped setting up the teleportation array, and immediately slapped his right palm upwards. A huge seven-colored palm appeared in the sky above the palace, but Lu An didn't take it head-on. Instead, he attacked the four attacks from the side!
Bang!!
The four attacks hit the Dragon Catcher Technique, and under the powerful force of the Dragon Catcher Technique, they were sent flying in different directions, toward the mountains far away from the city!
Boom!!!
There was a loud explosion, and the mountains far away disappeared in an instant, and a pitch-black pit appeared!
Just as the four of them in the sky were about to attack again, they saw Lu An suddenly fly up and escape toward the mountains far away! How could the four of them let Lu An escape just like that? They immediately chased after him.
Soon, both parties were far away from the range of the palace. As Rourou didn't have any fighting ability, Lu An's speed was very slow, and he had to slow down as well. Otherwise, Rourou would be killed by the inertia. For this reason, Lu An had no choice but to slow down and use his power to restrict the four people in the distance. Fortunately, although these four people were strong, their actual combat strength was very poor. Even if they were strong among the elves, the elves loved peace after all, and their combat strength was not just a little bit weaker than the other races.
Lu An easily restrained the four of them. At this time, Rourou's speed finally slowed down until she completely stopped, and Lu An placed her on the ground of the forest. Then, Lu An quickly came in front of Rourou and shouted, "Wrath of the Ocean!"
In an instant, a huge ice layer that was thousands of feet long and wide appeared in the mountains, and the cold air it emitted froze everything. The reason why Lu An built such a huge ice layer was that he was worried that the four of them in the sky would forcefully move the ice layer. Although they couldn't break it, they could disturb him from setting up the teleportation array. In this way, the space inside was huge, and the four of them wouldn't be able to affect him before he finished setting up the teleportation array.
Immediately, Lu An quickly set up the Gate of Sacred Fire. No matter how the four of them attacked the ice layer, it didn't damage it at all. The chief was so anxious that he cursed, and he was exactly like a villain in the human world. Unfortunately, his voice couldn't reach the inside of the ice layer, and Lu An quickly finished building it.
"Let's go!" Lu An said, and immediately entered the Gate of Sacred Fire with Rourou.
The Gate of Sacred Fire closed, and the two of them disappeared from this world, leaving only the huge ice layer that didn't disappear for a long time, and the four elves in the sky who were flustered and exasperated.
