Looking at this beautiful lady, Liu Yi was stunned.
This lady was really beautiful. In Liu Yi's eyes, every lady in the family was a rare beauty, and this lady in front of her was definitely one of them. Her skin was as smooth as ice, her face was delicate, and her facial features were small and exquisite. But what was even more mesmerizing was her pair of eyes.
The reason why Liu Yi was in a daze was because of the pair of eyes. The eyes were light pink! The world was full of wonders. Liu Yi had seen many blue and green eyes, but this was the first time she saw light pink eyes. She had never thought that light pink eyes could be so beautiful!
Lu An was also stunned when he saw this lady, but that was it. There was no curiosity or desire in his eyes. However, Lu An's eyes were a little serious. This seriousness came from this lady's expression and eyes.
There was no light in the light pink eyes, and her beautiful face was extremely indifferent. It was as if she had lost all hope, and there was no light in her.
This lady was obviously coerced to be used as a trade item in exchange for an alliance.
Lu An was right. This was indeed the case.
Zhong Weiping frowned when he saw how calm the lady was. He shouted in a low voice, "Why aren't you greeting?!"
The lady's delicate body shook. She stood up and bowed to Lu An like a tamed beast. She said, "My name is Sheng 'er. Greetings to Alliance Head Lu and Alliance Head Liu."
Sheng 'er?
Liu Yi looked at this beauty and felt pity for her. She actually took the initiative to ask, "She doesn't have a surname?"
"No!" Zhong Weiping was delighted when he saw Liu Yi finally speak. He knew that there would be progress in this matter. He quickly said, "She was an orphan since she was young. Our Xuan Chong Sect raised her. 'Sheng' er 'was the only word we knew when we found her. That's why we called her that! "
As he spoke, Zhong Weiping became more and more excited. He said, "She's 19 years old this year. She was born in the same year as Alliance Head Lu! Our Xuan Chong Sect has been raising her wholeheartedly. She's now a level 6 Heavenly Master and is still single. She's a pure virgin! As long as Alliance Head Lu is willing to form an alliance with our Xuan Chong Sect, we're willing to give her to Alliance Head Lu. When the time comes, she can take on Alliance Head Lu's surname! "
"…"
Lu An's expression was calm, but a bone-piercing chill was hidden in his deep eyes. What he hated the most in his life was to bully and humiliate women, including treating women like commodities. If these people didn't have the backing of the Xuan Chong Sect, he would have ordered the people from the Ice Fire Union to help this woman out of her misery and regain her freedom.
However, these people were from the Xuan Chong Sect. Lu An couldn't make a move, otherwise, it would be equivalent to pulling the Xuan Chong Sect to the opposite side of the Ice and Fire Union. And once this matter was spread out, it was likely that other sects would think that the Ice Fire League was unscrupulous. They would probably unite to deal with the Ice Fire League, which would directly threaten the safety of the Ice Fire League and their family members. Lu An couldn't do that.
However, at this moment, Liu Yi suddenly turned to look at Lu An.
"I want her!" Liu Yi's voice directly appeared in Lu An's mind.
Lu An was startled. Looking at Liu Yi's beautiful face, he also used his Divine Sense to ask, "What should we do?"
"…"
Liu Yi couldn't think of a solution. If they really agreed to the alliance and kept the woman, it would cause internal divisions in the Ice and Fire Union. If they pretended to agree and then went back on their words, other sects would think that the Ice and Fire Union didn't keep their words and didn't dare to ally with them. No matter which choice she made, the Ice and Fire Union would be greatly affected. It was indeed not worth it.
However, Lu An could see that Liu Yi really wanted this woman to stay. Perhaps it was related to Liu Yi's experience. Liu Yi was also adopted by the Starfire Trade Union and was manipulated like a puppet. Looking at Liu Yi's struggling eyes, Lu An's eyes slightly narrowed. He turned to Zhong Weiping and said, "I am indeed interested in this woman. How about Elder Zhong sell her to me? As for the alliance, I will consider it. How about it?"
"Sell?"
Zhong Weiping was startled. Then he smiled and shook his head. "Union Master Lu, with Sheng 'er's beauty and her pair of special eyes, which man in the world wouldn't be tempted? Although Alliance Master Lu had a beauty like Alliance Master Liu by his side, Alliance Master Liu's beauty was also rare in the world. Although Alliance Master Lu had her, all the men in the world coveted her. To be honest, if we didn't have the sincerity to ally with the Ice and Fire Union, Sheng 'er would have become the Young Master's woman next year. "
After hearing Zhong Weiping's words, Lu An looked at Sheng 'er and saw endless pain in her pink eyes.
Lu An then looked at Liu Yi and found that Liu Yi's emotions were also struggling. In his heart, Liu Yi's position was irreplaceable. If Liu Yi wanted to do something, he would do his best to help her.
"Elder Zhong, there's nothing in this world that can't be traded. You and I both know this." Lu An said to Zhong Weiping faintly, "How about I take you to see the collection of the Ice and Fire Union first and see if there's anything you're interested in? If you're interested, you might be willing to trade."
Zhong Weiping's smile grew wider. He didn't think the Ice and Fire Union had anything that could move him. After all, the Ice and Fire Union was much weaker than the sect. However, since the other party was willing to talk to him, he was happy to communicate. This way, he would have a greater chance to complete the mission.
"Please." Lu An stood up and raised his hand, saying politely.
Zhong Weiping and the other eight also stood up. Liu Yi, who was beside Lu An, did the same. To be honest, Liu Yi didn't know why Lu An wanted to take these people to see the Ice and Fire Union because the result was obvious. It was completely useless.
However, Liu Yi wouldn't go against any of Lu An's wishes. However, just as she was about to follow Lu An out, her body suddenly shook. She looked up at Lu An with an imperceptible surprise in her eyes. Then, she immediately stopped and said to Lu An, "Union Master, I still have a lot of things to approve. You guys go first. I'll wait here for you guys to come back."
Lu An was startled. He nodded and said, "Okay."
Zhong Weiping naturally didn't care if Liu Yi followed him or not. In fact, he didn't want this woman to follow him. This woman would definitely continue to make Lu An refuse to form an alliance. If this woman left, it would be possible to persuade Lu An to form an alliance.
Lu An, Zhong Weiping, and the other eight walked out of the side hall. When the Level Eight Heavenly Masters outside saw the Union Master and these people appear, they immediately followed. After all, Lu An's strength was very low. They had to ensure Lu An's safety.
Lu An didn't refuse these people and led Zhong Weiping to the warehouse on the Ice Fire Island. In fact, the things that could be placed in the warehouse weren't really important. The things that really needed to be kept were placed in the ring and hidden in a unique spatial array. Lu An already had the strength to create a small space, which was enough to hold some treasures.
Even if the collections in this warehouse were shown to the outside world, they wouldn't expose any secrets. They were all insignificant things. Zhong Weiping wasn't interested in listening to Lu An's explanation. He only hoped to form an alliance with Lu An and lead the conversation to the benefits of forming an alliance.
Although the warehouse was very big, they finished touring it in less than 15 minutes. During this process, Lu An had been ambiguous about forming an alliance. He only said that he would consider it. This made Zhong Weiping very anxious. He even kept pushing Sheng 'er to Lu An's side, hinting that Sheng' er should take the initiative. Lu An saw all of this, but he kept a distance and didn't interact with Sheng 'er.
"This is all the collections on this island. I'll take you to the Ice Island. There are still some treasures there. Maybe you'll be interested," Lu An said.
Because Lu An didn't agree, Zhong Weiping couldn't just go back like this. He nodded and agreed to go. He also needed time to talk more. Soon, Lu An and the people from the Xuanchong Sect arrived at the exit of the Ice Fire Island's array. They flew towards the Ice Island.
The Ice Island wasn't far from the Ice Fire Island. It was only a hundred miles away. They didn't even need to open the teleportation array. They could fly there very quickly.
"Alliance Master Lu, you should really consider forming an alliance." During the flight, Zhong Weiping still didn't give up and said, "Forming an alliance will only benefit the Ice Fire Union. If Alliance Master Lu has any ideas or conditions, we will do our best to satisfy you."
Lu An smiled and said, "I will remember Elder Zhong's sincerity. In the next few days, I will discuss with the others and give the Xuanchong Sect an answer as soon as possible."
Hearing that Lu An still didn't agree immediately, Zhong Weiping was anxious. This kind of thing was getting more and more difficult. He wanted to say something.
However, just as Zhong Weiping opened his mouth, a huge explosion suddenly appeared!
Boom! Boom!
The terrifying explosion appeared in the middle of the Ice Fire Island and the Ice Island. It instantly sent all sixteen people flying!
