In the courtyard, the crowd was moving.
Lu An followed another person into the courtyard and looked around. This courtyard was indeed not small, more than three hundred feet in length and width. There were nearly forty people standing in the courtyard, all of whom seemed to be Second Miss Yu Yan's subordinates.
Although he didn't know why the housekeeper had gathered everyone, this was an opportunity for Lu An. After all, seven days had passed. It wouldn't be too abrupt for him to ask about the Dark Underworld Ghost Domain now.
Just as everyone was talking, Second Miss Yu Yan and housekeeper Chen walked in from one side of the courtyard. Everyone immediately quieted down and bowed to Yu Yan. "Greetings, Second Miss!"
Yu Yan seemed to be in a good mood today. She had a smile on her face as she talked with Chen Hong. She and Chen Hong came to the front of everyone and followed Chen Hong to take a step forward. She said loudly to everyone, "Today, I've gathered everyone here because Second Miss wants to nurture talents! In a moment, everyone will be divided into two groups and fight with people of the same realm. Remember, you are not allowed to use any power and can only use the most basic combat skills. Second Miss and I will observe everyone's talent! "
Nurture talents? Fight!
Immediately, everyone began to discuss in low voices. This matter was so sudden that they never would have guessed that it would be like this.
Lu An pondered for a moment. The ultimate goal of nurturing talents was to increase the strength of one's own faction. Second Miss had a high status and wasn't worried about protecting herself. It seemed that Second Miss had changed her mind and wanted to compete with others for the position of Patriarch. That was why she wanted to nurture her own people.
But …
Lu An turned to look at the people in the courtyard. The strongest person was only equivalent to a Level Six Heavenly Master. Most of them were equivalent to Level Five and Level Four Heavenly Masters. Moreover, from the looks of it, these people obviously didn't pay much attention to cultivation. If people who didn't cultivate were to suddenly cultivate diligently, such a contrast could easily crush them.
Lu An wasn't wrong. Second Miss and Chen Hong also understood this. Most of the people in the courtyard were women. Second Miss usually treated people very well, so these women had an easy job and a relaxed life. They didn't know what kind of effect it would cause if these people were to suddenly immerse themselves in cultivation.
However … Yu Yan had no other choice. All the cultivators in the family had joined the forces of her three brothers and sisters. No one was willing to leave their original camp and come to her. Looking at the group of undisciplined people in front of her, although Yu Yan already had a plan, she still couldn't help but have a headache. She could only treat a dead horse as a living horse and see if there were any talented people who could be nurtured.
Under Chen Hong's arrangement, the people of the same cultivation level were quickly grouped together. Because the sparring was taking place within the mansion, within the territory, in order to not be discovered by his three brothers and sisters, he could only use the most basic combat skills to spar. After Chen Hong finished assigning tasks to the others, she finally came in front of Lu An and asked, "What realm are you at?"
Lu An was dumbfounded, his face blank. He really didn't know, but he didn't panic at all. The confusion on his face was all an act.
"Right, I almost forgot that you lost your memory." Chen Hong shook her head helplessly and said, "Wait and see. Tell me who you think you can beat."
Lu An nodded. Chen Hong turned around and left. However, Lu An noticed that Yu Yan seemed to be looking at him. When he turned his head, the two of them were looking at each other.
Yu Yan was only looking at Chen Hong when she coincidentally saw Lu An. When she saw Lu An, she was clearly stunned. Only then did she remember that there was someone else. However, she didn't pay much attention to him and directly retracted her gaze.
Soon, the battle began. According to Chen Hong, both sides would only use the most basic combat skills to spar. In the words of the surface world, they would only use moves and not strength. In addition, Yu Yan used "Qi" to seal the entire courtyard, so no sound could be heard.
These people's spars were meaningless to Lu An, and Lu An also fell into deep thought. The most important reason he came here was to enter the Dark Underworld. He had already spent seven days here, and he didn't want to waste any more time. Compared to staying in this place, he wanted to go home more.
Lu An realized that he was becoming more and more homesick. He wanted to see Yao Yao and Beauty Yang every day. He felt that he should speed up and head to the Dark Underworld as soon as possible. This competition was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for him.
Lu An lowered his head and pondered. Gradually, a determined light appeared in his eyes. He raised his head and looked at the battle in front of him, and then looked at Yu Yan, who was watching. He had to make Yu Yan pay enough attention to him so that she would listen to him and listen to his needs.
Time flew by quickly. These people sparred in the courtyard one after another. However, these people's strength was really disappointing. It even made people lose interest in watching. Their moves were simple, and they had no actual combat experience. These people didn't even have the desire to fight. They were just putting on a show for the second miss.
Seeing this, Yu Yan and Chen Hong felt very helpless. They wanted to reprimand these people several times, but in the end, they didn't say anything. After all, these people were already used to life. Change was not something that could be done in an instant.
There were nearly 40 people, but the battle had only lasted less than two hours. There was no doubt that none of them were worth training. Yu Yan's initial expectation also turned into complete despair.
After the two people in the field finished, there was only one person left in the courtyard who hadn't fought. It was Lu An, who was standing in the corner.
Chen Hong was so desperate that she had no strength left. She looked at Lu An and said, "Have you found someone in the same realm as you?"
Lu An looked at Chen Hong and shook his head. Chen Hong felt even more helpless. Sure enough, there was no weakest, only weaker. This kind of weak strength was simply not worth watching. Yu Yan also thought so. Just when the two people got up from their chairs and left, suddenly a voice came from afar.
"I want to fight with the second miss."
When these words came out, everyone's body suddenly trembled. Even Yu Yan and Chen Hong who had already turned around were the same. They immediately turned back to look at Lu An, their eyes full of surprise.
"Nonsense!" Chen Hong berated. Her eyes changed from surprise to anger. "How can you be a match for the second miss? Do you think the second miss has the same strength as you?! "
Hearing Chen Hong's reprimand, Lu An didn't say anything. Instead, he looked at Yu Yan. Yu Yan also looked at the man in confusion. Suddenly, she suddenly thought of something. This man could survive in the wild for several days with amnesia. Either he was very lucky and didn't find any wild beasts, or he was not weak and could deal with certain situations in the wild!
Suddenly, a glimmer of hope rose in Yu Yan's heart that was already in despair. She looked at Lu An with interest.
Chen Hong looked at Lu An who still didn't apologize. She frowned and shouted, "You're so rude. Today, your punishment is to …"
"Wait!" Yu Yan finally opened her mouth and said.
Chen Hong was startled. She turned to look at Yu Yan and said, "Second miss, what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Yu Yan's eyes showed a trace of fighting spirit. She looked at Lu An in the distance and said, "I'll fight with you!"
Lu An nodded slightly. He didn't say anything and directly walked out of the crowd to the open space in the center of the courtyard.
Yu Yan also walked forward. Chen Hong didn't expect Yu Yan to really want to fight. This was beneath her dignity. She quickly persuaded, "Second miss, there's no need to fight with a servant, right?"
"What does that have to do with anything?" Yu Yan waved her hand. She was obviously eager to fight. She said, "Look at how calm he has been from beginning to end. He even has the strength to live in the wilderness. He's obviously not simple. His strength might be on the same level as mine. How can we miss out on such a talent? "
Chen Hong was startled. She didn't expect the second miss to value this man so much. Although she didn't think this man had such strength, she still said, "If he's really so strong, won't the fight later destroy the mansion?"
Chen Hong's worry was not wrong. If the two of them released even a trace of their Qi, the entire mansion would be destroyed. Yu Yan was also startled. She thought for a moment and said, "But if we go to the Battle Arena, others will definitely find out what I'm doing. This way, they will be wary of me … How about I take him outside the territory?"
"No, that's too dangerous!" Chen Hong quickly said.
Yu Yan frowned even more. She couldn't do this and couldn't do that. Was she still going to fight?
At this moment, Lu An, who had been standing in the center of the courtyard for a long time, finally said to Yu Yan, "Let's fight here."
Yu Yan was startled. Chen Hong immediately retorted, "Didn't you hear what we just said? Don't tell me you want to destroy this place?! "
"I won't." Lu An looked at the two and said softly, "I'll make the fight end quickly."
