Lu An's eyes narrowed slightly. He, who had always been calm, did not react instinctively.
He just changed his posture slightly and pretended not to care as he looked to the right. In the process of shifting his gaze, he glanced at all the women of the Misty Rain Sect, but none of them looked at him until he looked at the woman sitting on the chair to his right.
Sure enough, the two of them looked at each other.
This was the first time Lu An looked at this woman. At first glance, she gave people the impression of being virtuous and elegant. She was a very gentle and intellectual woman. When Lu An looked at this woman, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
After thinking for a while, he was sure that he had never seen this woman before. How could he have such a feeling?
Because he could not tell her age, Lu An did not dare to address her casually. He could only send a message with his Divine Sense, "You are …"
"My name is Xu Ying." The woman's gentle voice sounded again, and she said softly, "You are … Yunyan and Yunlian's mother."
Lu An's body shook when he heard this, and his eyes were suddenly covered with shock!
His body's reaction was not even suppressed by instinct, and his expression was full of disbelief!
"Xu Yunyan and Xu Yunlian's mother?!"
When Lu An thought of these two women and looked at the woman in front of him, he finally knew where the inexplicable sense of familiarity came from! The eyes and thin lips of Xu Yunyan and Xu Yunlian were almost exactly the same as the woman in front of him. There was no difference at all!
Lu An really did not expect that the woman in front of him was Xu Yunyan's mother. Lu An also did not expect that Xu Yunyan's mother would appear at this time!
According to Xu Yunyan, shouldn't Xu Ying be one of the five core elders of the Thousand Light Sect? Why did she come with the Thousand Pagoda Sect? Moreover, from her previous intimacy with the people of the Thousand Pagoda Sect, their relationship should be good. What was going on?!
However, Lu An still calmed himself down as soon as possible. He picked up the wine in front of him and took a sip to calm his emotions. In the face of such a sudden change, Lu An did not forget Liu Yi's words. He should not take the initiative to say anything. He should just watch and listen.
The uniqueness of this banquet might very well lie in this.
Xu Ying naturally saw Lu An's shocked and puzzled look, but she was also surprised by Lu An's calmness and silence. "I don't know if Yun Yan and Yun Lian have mentioned this concubine to Alliance Master Lu, but this concubine knows that these two children are working under Alliance Master Lu. I don't know if they … are doing well? Have you suffered any grievances since you left the sect? "
Aggrieved?
Lu An glanced at Xu Ying and calmly said, "I was wronged, but I'm fine now."
Hearing Lu An's words, Xu Ying's eyes turned red, and her eyes were filled with light. In fact, when Xu Yunyan and Xu Yunlian escaped from the sect, she was very worried. She wanted to send people to find them, but she was afraid that they would be forcibly taken back to the purgatory of the sect. She had no other thoughts. The outside world was extremely dangerous. Her two daughters were only Level Six Heavenly Masters, and she did not know if they could survive.
A few months ago, when she learned that her two daughters were in the Ice Fire Union, she was so excited that tears streamed down her face. She was so happy that she could not sleep for many days. Her two daughters were the only hope that kept her alive. She dreamed of reuniting with her daughters and wanted to see how they were doing now.
Xu Ying lowered her head and held back her tears so that others would not notice her loss of composure. After two breaths, she took a light breath and looked at Lu An. "If they have any shortcomings, please bear with them, Alliance Master Lu. I'll also trouble Alliance Master Lu to take care of them."
"Senior, don't worry." Lu An said, "Xu Yunyan and I are friends. She has helped me many times, so I naturally will not treat them badly."
Hearing Lu An's words, Xu Ying cast a grateful look. Just as she was about to say something, a voice suddenly sounded and interrupted their conversation.
"Alliance Master Lu!" Liang He, who was on the high platform, spoke. Instantly, everyone in the hall quietened down, leaving only the singing and dancing. However, it did not delay Liang He's words. He said loudly, "You are the son-in-law of Sengoku and the Alliance Master of the Ice Fire Union. In addition to the talent in your bloodline, your future achievements are limitless! In fact, this banquet was jointly discussed by Sect Master Yan and I. We mainly want to make friends with you and the Ice Fire Union. One more friend is always beneficial. In the future, our three sects will become allies. How about that? "
Lu An's heart froze, but his expression did not change. He just smiled and said, "Sect Master Liang's words are flattering me and the Ice Fire Union. Compared to the Thousand Pagodas Divine Sect and the Misty Rain Sect, the Ice Fire Union is just a drop in the ocean. How would we dare to associate with them? "
"Sigh!" Liang He waved his hand and said, "We are not looking at the present, but the future! In the future, Alliance Master Lu and the Ice Fire Union will have limitless achievements. Even our two clans may not be comparable to them! "
Hearing Liang He's words, many elders of the two clans were puzzled. It couldn't be helped. Most of them weren't qualified to know about the Eight Ancient Clans. Naturally, they didn't know what Lu An's true trump card was. So, they felt that Liang He was overestimating this kid.
"That's right." Yan Xi also spoke. He looked at Lu An and said, "If our three clans form an alliance, even if we have our own alliances now, we can help each other. It will be very beneficial to the future situation. Now that the world is in chaos, one more ally means one more chance of survival. With the help of our two clans, the Ice Fire Union will be very safe for at least six years. "
Six years.
Lu An's eyes froze. Six years later, it would be the ten-year agreement.
Lu An took a light breath and said to the two sect masters, "As a junior, I am really flattered that the two sect masters think so highly of me. Of course, I am willing to be friends with the two seniors. However, the Ice Fire Union is no longer mine, and I am not the Alliance Master. In fact, I have never personally managed the Ice Fire Union, nor can I represent the Ice Fire Union to form an alliance. "
"…"
Hearing that, Yan Xi and Liang He's expressions turned cold.
Not only the two sect masters, but even the elders of the two clans present had the same expression. Their faces immediately turned gloomy. Everyone stared at Lu An. One of the Misty Rain Sect's supervisors stood up and shouted at Lu An, "Alliance Master Lu! Our sect master is thinking highly of you by forming an alliance with the Ice Fire Union. Don't be ungrateful! "
Hearing that, Lu An frowned slightly.
The atmosphere in the hall took a turn for the worse. At the same time, the singing and dancing stopped. All the performing disciples left, leaving the center of the hall empty. The people sitting on both sides could see each other clearly.
The Misty Rain Sect's supervisors looked at Lu An with hostility. Meanwhile, Lu An looked at the supervisor who spoke and turned to look at Yan Xi.
"Sect Master Yan." Lu An's tone was no longer respectful. Instead, it turned cold as he said, "Is this the Misty Rain Sect's attitude?"
Hearing that, Yan Xi frowned. She didn't expect Lu An to question her in public. With Lu An's strength, he naturally didn't have the right to do so. However, when she thought of the Fu Clan's young master …
Every time she thought of the Fu Clan's young master, she would think of the warning to all the sect masters during the Apothecary Conference. It made her shudder. No matter what, she really couldn't offend Lu An in public.
However, how to get out of this situation was also a problem. She couldn't just admit her mistake and blame her own people. Otherwise, where would her dignity be?
Liang He looked at Yan Xi. At this moment, he really couldn't just stand by and watch. After all, the Thousand Pagoda Divine Sect and the Misty Rain Sect were on the same side. However, he hadn't thought of how to start.
At this moment, Curtain, who had just spoken, opened his mouth again.
She thought that the Sect Master didn't say anything because he didn't want to bother with Lu An. She didn't know why the Sect Master invited Lu An here today. However, Lu An actually dared to question the Sect Master. How could she tolerate this?
"Lu An! Don't be rude! "Jia Mu shouted.
Hearing that, Lu An frowned even more. He turned his head and looked at Jia Mu.
Naturally, he couldn't do anything. His strength wasn't worth mentioning in front of everyone. If he did, he would only be humiliating himself. However, this didn't mean that he wouldn't do anything. He slowly stood up and looked at Yan Xi and Liang He on the stage.
"Thank you Sect Master Yan and Sect Master Liang for your hospitality at today's banquet." Lu An's voice was very cold as he said, "However, I still have important matters to attend to. I have no choice but to leave first. Please forgive me, Sect Masters."
With that, Lu An turned around and left the banquet!
Everyone in the hall was shocked to see this scene. Yan Xi and Liang He on the stage were the same. If Lu An left just like that, it meant that they didn't do anything!
No one expected this to happen. More importantly, they were in a difficult position and couldn't ask Lu An to stay.
At this moment, Jia Mu spoke again!
And … he even made a move.
"Stop right there!" Jia Mu shouted, "Do you think the Misty Rain Sect is a place where you can come and go as you please?!"
As he spoke, his figure instantly flashed, and he flashed towards Lu An's back at extreme speed!
