Lu An was startled and asked, "What are they doing here?"
"Negotiating." Yang Meiren looked at Lu An and said, "They want to seek our protection and negotiate with us. They are now on Icefire Island. Liu Yi is discussing with them but she also hopes that you can go. "
Lu An's heart tightened. Indeed, the other party was Yang Meiren's family. Liu Yi was afraid that if she didn't handle it well, it would affect the harmony of the family. It was best for him to come forward.
"Okay." Lu An nodded and said, "We will go now."

Icefire Union headquarters, Icefire Island.
In the side hall, Liu Yi was receiving the people from Purple Zhen Sect. There were a total of eight people from Purple Zhen Sect. All of them were core figures. Yang Zhentian was naturally among them. On the other side, there was only Liu Yi and Xiao Rou. However, this didn't affect Liu Yi's momentum. After all, this was Icefire Island, her territory.
Liu Yi's attitude was very arrogant. Not to mention warm, she didn't even give the eight people a good face. Last time, Lu An brought people to Purple Zhen Sect to negotiate. However, not only did Purple Zhen Sect not talk, they even fought. This time, Purple Zhen Sect came to talk with her.
Looking at Liu Yi's appearance, although the eight people from Purple Zhen Sect were angry, at least Liu Yi didn't insult them verbally.
The reason they came to negotiate was very simple. This was because Purple Zhen Sect had confirmed that Yang Meiren's words seven days ago were true.
Purple Zhen Sect also had some relations with one or two sects. Although these sects couldn't protect them, they could disclose some information to them. When they confirmed that the Hachiko clan really didn't care about the thirty-one sects anymore, they were scared out of their wits. Guang You Sect had been eyeing them covetously. In addition, some of their core members were very high-profile. Even if Yang Meiren didn't allow them to do so, they still did as they pleased and offended many people.
Of course, the reason why they did things their own way was very simple. It was because these people knew that they had someone backing them. It was none other than the Fu Clan.
In fact, if these people weren't Beauty Yang's relatives, Liu Yi wouldn't even bother to talk to them, nor would she agree to let them join the Ice Fire Alliance. Although there were many people in the Purple Town School and their strength was not bad, in Liu Yi's eyes, these people were completely ungrateful wolves. They enjoyed Lu An's protection, yet they treated Lu An with such an attitude. Did they really think that Lu An was their parents?
Beauty Yang had already gone to find Lu An. Before Lu An came, Liu Yi didn't want to say anything. Knowing that Lu An would come, the eight disciples of the Purple Town Sect sat quietly in their chairs and waited.
Sure enough, not long after, two figures appeared at the entrance of the side hall. It was Lu An and Beauty Yang. The two walked into the side hall. Liu Yi and Xiao Rou immediately stood up to greet them and sat down with Lu An.
During the process, the eight disciples of the Purple Town Sect saw Liu Yi stand up and hesitated whether they should stand up or not. Out of etiquette, they should stand up, but they didn't want to.
However, Lu An didn't care about this. After sitting down, he faced the eight disciples of the Purple Town Sect. Except for Yang Zhentian, he didn't know anyone else.
"Sect Master Yang." Lu An was very polite, but also very calm. He cupped his hands and said, "May I know the purpose of your visit?"
Yang Zhentian looked at Lu An and his daughter beside Lu An. His heart was filled with mixed feelings. Even he couldn't tell what he was feeling. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "I'm here to discuss cooperation with the Ice Fire Alliance."
Cooperation?
As soon as these words came out, Liu Yi's eyes became even colder. The eight disciples of the Purple Town Sect were somewhat ashamed. After all, last time they refused and drove away Lu An, but this time they took the initiative to come knocking.
"Good." Unexpectedly, Lu An didn't say much. He just calmly said, "Before I left last time, the beauty had already made my intentions clear. Either you join the Ice Fire Alliance and get protection, or you find an island near the Ice Fire Alliance to live on. In case something happens, we can provide support."
Yang Zhentian heard this and felt relieved. As long as the conditions didn't change, and the other party didn't ask for too much because of the conflict last time, this was the best news for the Purple Town Sect.
"However," Lu An suddenly spoke up and continued, "there are conditions for this as well."
Yang Zhentian's body trembled and his heart tightened. He asked, "What conditions?"
"If you join the Ice Fire Alliance, although I won't interfere with your internal affairs, the Ice Fire Alliance has the right to manage everyone in the Purple Town Sect. Since you join the Ice Fire Alliance, you must abide by the rules of the Ice Fire Alliance. " Lu An looked at the eight disciples of the Purple Town Sect and said in an unquestionable tone, "If you live near the Ice Fire Alliance, we will only take care of the safety of the island. No matter what happens to those who leave the island, the Ice Fire Alliance will not go far to help."
"There is one more thing." When Yang Zhentian was about to say something, Lu An didn't give him a chance and continued, "If you choose the second option, the Purple Town Sect is not allowed to take the initiative to come to the Ice Fire Alliance, and is not allowed to have any friction with anyone in the Ice Fire Alliance. You must also abide by the rules of the Ice Fire Alliance and not cause any trouble for the Ice Fire Alliance."
"… …"
Lu An finally finished speaking. After listening to Lu An's words, the eight disciples of the Purple Town Sect had an ugly expression.
The first option was that after the cooperation, everyone must obey the Ice Fire Alliance's management. Although it was said that they wouldn't participate in the internal affairs of the Purple Town Sect, in fact, it was completely above the rules of the Purple Town Sect. This was something that the Purple Town Sect would never accept. The second option was undoubtedly the best for the Purple Town Sect. They could live in peace and not be controlled by others.
But … … What did he mean by not taking the initiative to go to the Ice Fire Alliance? What did he mean by not having any friction with anyone in the Ice Fire Alliance? Did this mean that the Ice Fire Alliance was still above them?
"If I have something to discuss with the Ice Fire Alliance, can't I take the initiative to look for them?" Yang Zhentian frowned and asked in a deep voice.
"You can't." Lu An directly replied and said clearly, "I will send people to station on your island. If there is something, my people will report it and then decide whether to meet or not."
The eight disciples of the Purple Town Sect heard this and clenched their teeth. They really didn't expect Lu An to be so arrogant! But Yang Zhentian still remained calm and said, "What about the rules? My Purple Town Sect also has its own rules. What should we do if there is a conflict? "
"Sect Master Yang." Lu An looked at Yang Zhentian and said very politely and calmly, "If it weren't for the Purple Town Sect being the place where Beauty once stayed and you being her father, do you think I would sit here and talk with you? My Ice Fire Alliance is developing at full speed and has no time to manage the affairs of the Purple Town Sect. I have already made a lot of concessions and paid a lot. After all, I am protecting you, but I didn't ask you to contribute any strength or money. I didn't ask you to do anything. I just want you to follow our rules and not cause us any trouble. Is that so difficult? "
Hearing Lu An's words, Yang Zhentian's body shook and his dignified face became somewhat conflicted. Although he didn't like this little brat, he didn't completely lose his mind. Indeed, if they chose the second method, the Ice Fire Alliance wouldn't get any benefits at all. They were even less qualified to be picky.
However, when the audience was quiet, a sudden voice sounded, the tone was tough!
"Lu An, don't push your luck and don't take advantage of us! Beauty Yang is your wife. You naturally have the obligation to protect the Purple Town Sect! Don't say it like you are wronged. If you have the ability, return Beauty Yang to us and we will leave immediately. Do you have the guts?! "
As soon as these words came out, everyone's body shook and they turned to look at the speaker. The person who spoke was sitting on the right side of Yang Zhentian. It was a man who looked quite young.
Regarding the Purple Town Sect, Lu An didn't know anyone other than Yang Zhentian. After seeing this person, his eyes slightly trembled. Being able to sit next to Yang Zhentian shouldn't have a low status. However, this person only had the strength of a seventh level Heavenly Master. He asked Beauty Yang, "Who is he?"
Beauty Yang's beautiful eyes were filled with coldness as she looked at the other party. She said to Lu An, "My brother Yang Tianguang. Before I returned to the Purple Town Sect, I had always wanted to train him to be the successor of the Sect Leader."
Beauty Yang's brother?
Lu An was slightly startled. He had never heard Beauty Yang mention such a thing. He looked at the person opposite him again. However, Lu An's eyes were very cold. If it was because of Beauty Yang, Lu An could still maintain a polite and calm attitude towards the Purple Town Sect. But now, he was completely hostile and even murderous towards this person.
"My wife is not a commodity, nor is she a bargaining chip that your Purple Town Sect can use to negotiate with me." Lu An's eyes were as cold as swords as he looked at this person. He coldly said, "No one can take Beauty away from me. Whoever dares to have such thoughts, I will take their life!"
