Si Xing?
Lu An was startled, but he cupped his hands again and said, "Senior Si Xing."
Si Xing nodded slightly, walked to a stone chair, and sat down. She glanced at Lu An and gestured for Lu An to sit down as well.
After Lu An sat down, Si Xing looked at Lu An and said, "She should have told you about the groom search, right?"
"Yes," Lu An said politely.
"She also told me about the Life and Death Union. If you have any ideas, just tell me," Si Xing said concisely.
Lu An was slightly startled. Such a straightforward person made him somewhat at a loss, but he still directly said, "To tell you the truth, the purpose of my visit this time is to rope in the Flowing Moon Clan into the Life and Death Union. However, if the Life and Death Union correspondingly, there are some conditions. They must be used by me for a hundred years, and to prevent betrayal, they need to give me some important things as collateral. "
"Used by you for a hundred years and collateral …" Si Xing looked at Lu An, her eyes flashing as she said, "Did the Flaming Lion Clan and the Sky Tiger Clan agree to it?"
"Of course." Lu An said, "After the Flowing Moon Clan joins, I will naturally let you meet. If you find out that I am lying, you can leave."
Hearing Lu An's words, Si Xing's eyes flashed with a thoughtful light. She was a very straightforward person and never beat around the bush. If she could continue to talk, she would talk. If she could not, she would directly drive Lu An away. She had not made any move to drive him away, which meant that Lu An's words were within her acceptable range.
Since she was thinking, Lu An naturally sat quietly and did not make any sound. Even if he could not form an alliance with the Flowing Moon Clan, Lu An did not want to offend them. Even if they could not be friends, he did not want to be enemies. Therefore, he had been very polite.
After a while, Si Xing finally turned to look at Lu An again and said lightly, "It is not impossible for me to join the Life and Death Union and collateral, but you have to help me do two things first."
"Two things?" Lu An was stunned and asked, "One is to assist in the groom selection. What's the other?"
"The other thing is to help me become the true Clan Leader of the Dripping Moon Clan!" Si Xing's eyes turned cold as a sharp flowing light flashed across.
Lu An was stunned. He looked at Si Xing in surprise and didn't say anything.
Looking at Lu An's shocked expression, Si Xing's eyes narrowed as he continued, "If I can become the Clan Leader, I can lead the entire Flowing Moon Clan to join the Life and Death Alliance. This will only benefit you."
"…"
Lu An also quickly calmed down. He looked at Si Xing with deep eyes and said, "I'm just a Level Seven Heavenly Master. How can I help Senior? It's a problem that hasn't been solved for tens of thousands of years. Senior, aren't you expecting too much from me? "
Looking at Lu An's appearance, Si Xing didn't say anything else. The two of them sat on the stone chairs in the pavilion, and the entire courtyard fell into complete silence.
Finally, after a long time, Si Xing spoke again and said faintly, "Fine. As long as you can help me complete the marriage, I'll join the Life and Death Alliance and give you enough collateral. However, I have another condition. If we can really defeat the Hachiko clan one day and return to the mainland, I don't care about the other clans, but if the Flowing Moon Clan wants to enter the mainland, they must get my permission! "
Lu An was stunned and immediately understood Si Xing's intention. She wanted to use the authority to enter the mainland to establish her position as the true Clan Leader.
"Okay." Lu An didn't have any reason to refuse and said, "It's a deal."
After both sides agreed on the conditions, Si Xing stood up and said to Lu An, "Since everything is settled, I'll take you to the location of the other force now. Four days later is the day of the marriage. I've already informed them of all the events of the competition in advance. Go and see if there's anything you can help with so that you'll have more confidence. "
"Okay." Lu An nodded and said, "I'll do my best."

In the dark night, on a huge island in the Southern Three Seas.
Although this island wasn't as big as the Outré Prefecture, it was definitely considered a small continent. Islands like this were rare in the ocean, and the clans that could occupy such an island were undoubtedly very powerful.
Streaks of light filled the sky above the island, intertwining with each other as if they were playing or sparring. Occasionally, there would be rumbling sounds coming from the sky.
At that moment, a beam of light appeared above the island, and two figures walked out. They were none other than Si Xing and Lu An.
As soon as Lu An stood on the island, he noticed the streaks of light in the sky and the sounds coming from it. It was obvious that this was the location of the other force. Under Si Xing's lead, the two of them quickly arrived at the center of the island. There were many buildings here, and it was like a small city. Lu An soon met the Clan Leader of this force, who was named Si Jian. At the same time, he also saw the Clan Leader's son, who was named Si Qing.
At that moment, Lu An realized that it was very likely that the direct descendants of the four Clan Leaders of the Flowing Moon Clan all had the word "Si" in their names. This was because the people around him didn't have the word "Si" when they introduced themselves. After Lu An greeted everyone, Si Xing told them about Lu An's purpose in coming here. Originally, these people were very against humans, but their attitudes changed when they found out that it was Lu An.
Si Jian knew Lu An's background very well, including his relationship with Sengoku. However, neither Lu An nor Si Xing told each other about the Life and Death Alliance. After the two sides met, Lu An, Si Qing, and the others soon left to discuss the details of the competition.
Lu An took the list of the competition, and he was stunned when he saw the content listed. The conditions of the competition were clearly stated. The participants did not need to participate in the competition, as long as they could send someone. They didn't even need to send someone from their own clan. Wouldn't this be a problem?
Lu An asked the people around him doubtfully. Si Qing, who was about to propose, explained, "Over the past ten thousand years, our Flowing Moon Clan has encountered many crises after we split up. Many of them were helped by other clans. Because of this, we're not very racist. As long as someone is friendly to the Flowing Moon Clan, they'll be recognized by us."
Lu An understood and looked at the list in front of him again. Rather than saying that the competition listed on the list was to test the strength of the three Flowing Moon Clans, it was more accurate to say that it was to test the connections of the three Flowing Moon Clans. Lu An asked about some of the competitions that the Flowing Moon Clan was not good at or even able to complete, but they were listed. It was obvious that it was to evaluate their overall strength.
For example, alchemy.
No matter how Lu An looked at it, the Flowing Moon Clan did not seem to know how to refine pills. After asking, Si Qing generously explained that the Flowing Moon Clan did not know how to refine pills.
Lu An spent the entire night discussing with the Flowing Moon Clan on the island and only left at dawn. In order to win over Si Xing's clan, Lu An did put in a lot of effort. He even personally helped Si Qing prepare the betrothal gifts. The betrothal gifts were also very important in the marriage proposal. If there were more betrothal gifts, they would have a great advantage.
When Yao Yao found out about this, she wanted to give the immortal pills from Sengoku to Lu An, but Lu An rejected her. Before the Flowing Moon Clan joined the Life and Death Alliance, Lu An did not want Sengoku to have anything to do with the Flowing Moon Clan. This was Lu An's way of doing things. He always prioritized caution over everything.
Time passed quickly. Four days were really short. Soon, it was the evening of the fourth day. For the Flowing Moon Clan, night was the time to be active. Evening was like morning in the human's concept of time. The sky was not completely dark yet, but the three clans were already ready in their own territories.
Although the Flowing Moon Clan was just a body of energy, ever since the rise of humans in the Eight Ancient Era, they had acknowledged the advantage of humans in terms of body size and learned from them. They were also influenced by many human customs. All of the Flowing Moon Clan members transformed into human form and cultivated their own strength based on their human form. It could be said that they did not look any different from normal humans. Si Qing was already dressed in luxurious clothes and was ready to go. Si Qing, who had lived for two hundred years, was proposing marriage for the first time. He was very nervous, and even his breathing became rapid.
Looking at the panicked Si Qing, the people around him kept comforting him and telling him to be generous and appropriate. Lu An stood aside and quietly waited for the group to depart.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened. Si Jian appeared at the door with a group of core members.
Si Jian looked around and said loudly to everyone, "Let's go! Propose marriage! "
