Hua — —
The wind blew through the Saint Mountain, as if taking away all sound, leaving the entire banquet silent. Everyone looked at the man among the seven women in shock, their eyes full of astonishment.
The seven women were even more sluggish, but their eyes were full of surprise and happiness.
Lu An was fine!
Lu An really came back!
If not for the presence of the people from the 31 sects, the seven women would have directly thrown themselves into Lu An's arms. Even now, the seven women's eyes were all red, and tears were rolling down their cheeks as they desperately tried not to cry.
Liu Yi's hand was trembling, and Lu An naturally felt it. His left hand patted her back, and his right hand took the wine cup from her hand.
Then, Lu An turned to face the center, and looked around at the 31 sects. Under everyone's gaze, he said in a clear voice, "I came late, and I apologize to each sect, please forgive me!"
After speaking, Lu An downed the wine in one gulp!
"… …"
Most of the people present had not drunk the wine, especially the men. But compared to the previous expectation of Liu Yi drinking it, now they felt that the wine was very bitter, without any sweetness, and did not want to drink it.
But the wine cup was already raised, and this was the wine of the Earth Sect's leader, Huang Dingti. Even if they were unwilling, they could only frown and drink it.
Everyone finished drinking, put down the wine cup, and looked at the inner circle of the Ice Fire Union. They saw that Lu An had already sat down, and was talking and laughing with the seven women.
Looking at the seven women's obviously excited appearance, and seeing Lu An surrounded by the seven women, many men's faces flushed red, as if they were holding back a breath of resentment.
Of course, for the 31 sects' leaders, leaders, and core elders, most of their faces were dignified. After all, they were almost certain that Lu An had met with an accident or even died. But now that Lu An was standing in front of everyone, this news was really shocking to them!
Could it be that he was really in seclusion?
The sects that had enmity with the Ice Fire Union were frowning, the sects that had a good relationship with the Ice Fire Union were happy, and the sects that had no relationship with the Ice Fire Union were mostly in a state of watching a show. One of the purposes of this banquet was to confirm whether Lu An was still alive. Now that Lu An was here, it was likely that there would be a follow-up.
In the inner circle of the Ice and Fire Union, seven women surrounded Lu An. The ones closest to Lu An were naturally his three wives. Among the three girls, Yao found it the hardest to control her emotions. On top of that, she was the one who carried out the mission with Lu An that day. She could only watch as Lu An was captured and thrown into the deep sea. Now that Lu An had returned, she could finally let go of the self-blame in her heart. During this period of time, she had created a lot of psychological pressure for herself.
"Husband." Yao's voice was trembling as she said. "Where have you been all this time?"
Looking at Yao's appearance, Lu An smiled as he raised his hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and said, "It's nothing. I was once again taken into the castle to cultivate until last night."
"Did Madam save you?" Liu Yi asked.
"Yes." Lu An nodded as he looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I don't look like I'm in trouble. After the banquet is over, let's go home and slowly talk about it. We can't cry in front of outsiders, right? "
Listening to Lu An's teasing words, the seven women gently nodded. They also knew that this was not a good state and that they would be watched as a joke. They took a deep breath to calm down. For the seven women who had experienced so many things, they were already very good at controlling their emotions.
Lu An sat next to Liu Yi, chatting and laughing with the seven women as he listened to the seven women talk about what had happened in the past 50 days. Liu Yi was a very observant person. Even Yang Meiren could not compare with her in this aspect. She found that everyone's eyes were often looking at Lu An. Under such obvious gazes, Lu An did not care at all and chatted with everyone as usual.
For some reason, Liu Yi suddenly felt that Lu An had changed.
Of course, it was not that Lu An himself had changed, but his attitude towards the 31 Sects seemed to have changed. Although Lu An was the same introverted character as before, she felt that Lu An had really changed. Especially when Lu An's eyes looked around the 31 Sects from time to time, looking at allies and friends on both sides, or looking at the people in the inner circle such as Thousand Light Sect, Guang You Sect, Ye Fire Sect, etc., there were all changes.
Although Liu Yi could not say what had changed, it was really very different from before. If she had to say, it was — — spirit.
In the past, Lu An would maintain a certain degree of awe in front of these Sects because his strength was still too weak compared to a level 9 Heaven Master. But now … this awe seemed to be a lot less. The respect was still there, but the fear seemed to have disappeared.
That's right, Liu Yi's perception was not wrong at all. And Lu An's change was also because of Fu Yu's words. In one night, Fu Yu told him a lot of things in this regard, which made him raise his goal and enemy even higher, even higher than the Hachiko clan. When Lu An really looked at the problem from Fu Yu's point of view, the real Sects became insignificant.
Lu An still remembered, when he first entered Starfire Academy, as a teacher, Han Ying had once talked about the Thousand Pagoda Sect. At that time, Fu Yu had muttered to herself, "It's just a broken pagoda." Although it was somewhat disrespectful, but thinking about it now, standing in front of Fu Yu's family background, she was completely qualified to say this sentence, and it was also the truth.
Although Lu An had the bloodline of the Hachiko clan, he did not have the knowledge of the Hachiko clan. Since the establishment of the Ice Fire Alliance, they had always set the Sects as their main goal. If their goal was set low, it would affect their motivation. Fu Yu had said that the Ice Fire Alliance was fine, and she had never thought highly of the Ice Fire Alliance. But if even Lu An set the Sects' War as his goal, it would really greatly affect his cultivation.
Therefore, because of Fu Yu's advice, Lu An had basically completely changed his outlook. He still respected every expert here, but he would not be as reserved as before, and completely treat everyone here as equals. In fact, according to Fu Yu's request, he even had to treat them unequally in terms of strength and talent, and look down on them. But this was something that Lu An could not do right now.
"Husband, how did you know we were here?" Beauty Yang asked.
"I went back to the Ice Fire City first, but I found that everyone was not here." Lu An said with a smile, "Fortunately, I found Xu Yunyan. She said that everyone had gone to participate in the banquet. I roughly heard from her about what had happened recently, so I came here."
"Husband's strength … seems to have become a lot stronger." Yao Yao felt the aura emitted from Lu An's body and said.
"Yes." Lu An also said happily.
At this moment, Yao Yao suddenly thought of something. A light flashed on her wrist, and she took off the Concealing Immortal Hoop and handed it to Lu An, saying, "Husband, you should wear this Concealing Immortal Hoop!"
Lu An did not refuse. After all, this Concealing Immortal Hoop had no other ability except for hiding aura. After chatting with the seven women for a while, the topic quickly changed to the Sects. Lu An was a down-to-earth person. No matter how high his outlook was, he knew what he should do. Outlook was outlook, and reality was reality. Lu An was very clear about this.
Looking around the inner circle, the Sect Masters and Sect Masters of the 31 Sects could clearly see them. There were also many Sects that Lu An saw for the first time, which greatly made up for his knowledge of Sects.
Shuang 'er explained to everyone who the Sects were and who the Sect Masters were. When Lu An heard this, he looked around. It was inevitable that he would look at these Sect Masters and Sect Masters. However, most of them just avoided each other. At most, they would nod at each other.
When Shuang 'er pointed to the Karma Fire Sect's location, everyone knew it was the Karma Fire Sect without any introduction. After all, their bald heads and special clothes were too representative. Lu An immediately looked at the Karma Fire Sect's Sect Master Jue Nian. In an instant, they sensed each other's thoughts.
From Jue Nian's eyes, Lu An saw hostility and even killing intent.
From Lu An's eyes, Jue Nian saw an abyss. There was no trace of fear towards him.
At that time, several Sects were carrying out a mission together in the Beiyi Sea. Du Kong's actions must have been authorized by the Sect Master. Coupled with Jue Nian's gaze, Lu An was even more certain that Jue Nian wanted to kill him. However, he did not know why or when he had offended Jue Nian.
However, Lu An's eyes gradually changed, as if something was rolling out from the abyss.
Suddenly, Jue Nian's heart trembled!
It was death!
It was pure death!
When he saw this death, Jue Nian even felt that death was shrouding him. Even he felt an obvious pressure!
