At night, Lu An did not lock himself up to rest. Instead, he left the underground space and went to his own pavilion and bedroom.
His pavilion had been enveloped by Yuerong's array formation. Outsiders could not sense any aura inside at all. As long as the doors and windows were closed, there would be no problem even if one walked inside. He stood in the room for a long time without moving.
After a while, light footsteps came from the corridor. Without looking or sensing the aura, Lu An knew who was coming based on the footsteps.
Soon, Liu Yi stood in front of Lu An's door. After thinking for a while, she walked in.
"Are you waiting for her?" Liu Yi asked.
Lu An's body shook slightly. He turned to look at Liu Yi and nodded gently.
Liu Yi smiled. Today was February 9th. It was the official wedding day of Lu An and Fu Yu last year. Lu An, who had been cultivating hard for the past few days, suddenly came out of seclusion. The only reason could be that he was waiting for Fu Yu. There was no other reason.
However, just as it was midnight, February 9th passed, and Fu Yu still did not come.
"Madam definitely remembers the date," Liu Yi said softly. "But Madam is different from us. She must have something important to do."
Lu An nodded slightly. When he thought of the injury on Fu Yu's arm, he felt depressed.
"Don't be so depressed." Liu Yi walked to Lu An's side and wrapped her arms around Lu An's neck. She said, "Tomorrow is the day of our wedding. I can accompany you."
Lu An smiled and said, "Okay."

Three days later, in Ice and Fire City.
In the underground of the private territory, everyone was gathered together to discuss the matters of the alliance. They were also chatting casually. After all, it was too boring to stay here all the time. If they did not communicate, they would be bored to death.
Lu An was not here. Except for the anniversary with Liu Yi the day before yesterday, he spent most of his time meditating and cultivating. No woman would disturb him. Just as everyone was chatting happily and laughing, a teleportation array suddenly appeared in the room.
Xu Yunyan quickly walked out with a panicked expression. She came before Liu Yi and hurriedly said, "Alliance Leader, something happened to a core elder of Flower Moon Sect."
As soon as she said that, all the women in the room were shocked!
"Which core elder?" Liu Yi immediately asked, "What happened?"
"Li Qingyue." Xu Yunyan quickly said, "She didn't have an accident, but a man she had always liked had an accident."
Xu Yunyan took a deep breath and told him all the information she had just received. She said, "Li Qingyue once had a lover called Lin Ji. He was a man Li Qingyue met when she was out on a mission. This man was a Level Six Celestial Master. At that time, Li Qingyue was still weak and had just become a Level Six Celestial Master. The two of them met in a tavern and fell in love with each other. That night, they slept on the same bed. "
"However, this Lin Ji was not a heartless person. After knowing Li Qingyue's identity, he took the initiative to propose marriage to Flower Moon Sect. When Flower Moon Sect found out about this, they were furious. The sect doesn't allow outsiders to enter Flower Moon Sect, so they forcefully cut off the relationship between the two. " Xu Yunyan said, "Ever since this happened, Flower Moon Sect didn't punish Li Qingyue, but Li Qingyue took the initiative to lock herself up for a year. She didn't see anyone until a year later."
The women listened attentively. Only Liu Yi had a serious expression and said, "Did she secretly do something in this year?"
Xu Yunyan was shocked. She didn't expect Alliance Leader to be able to guess this. She immediately nodded and said, "Just last night, Li Qingyue received a letter from an outsider who used this to threaten her. She panicked and went to Sect Leader. Li Tang didn't want to care at all and didn't allow Li Qingyue to go out. However, she didn't expect Li Qingyue to kneel down and beg her, asking Li Tang to send people to save her. "
"Everyone knew that this was done by Guang You Sect. No matter how Li Qingyue begged, Li Tang wouldn't take the risk for an outsider. So in a moment of desperation, Li Qingyue finally told the truth. " Xu Yunyan paused and said, "That year, she wasn't in seclusion. She was pregnant and gave birth to a child."
"…"
Everyone in the room took a deep breath. Their eyes were filled with shock, except for Liu Yi.
Liu Yi had obviously guessed it. Otherwise, what was the use of locking herself up for a year?
"What does Li Tang mean?" Liu Yi asked.
"Sect Leader Li means … she doesn't want to care." Xu Yunyan said, "According to the sect's rules, a child born from an affair with an outsider is not considered a member of the sect. Flower Moon Sect has no obligation to save her. Li Tang also doesn't want to set a precedent. Otherwise, wouldn't her illegitimate child be able to join Flower Moon Sect? "
Liu Yi nodded. Without a doubt, Li Tang's point of view was correct. Otherwise, those who followed the rules would become victims. However, since Li Tang sent people to inform her of this, it meant that this matter wasn't so simple.
"Shuang Er." Liu Yi turned to look at Shuang Er and said, "Make a trip to Flower Moon Sect and ask them what they want to do and what difficulties they have."
"Yes." Shuang Er immediately nodded. She activated the transfer array and left.
Xu Yunyan also left and waited for orders in the city lord's residence.
About an hour later, the transfer array appeared in the room. Shuang Er walked out and everyone in the room immediately looked at her.
"How was it?" Liu Yi asked.
"Li Qingyue made a huge fuss." Shuang Er frowned and said seriously, "When I arrived at Flower Moon Sect, Li Qingyue was already making a fuss with the sect master. I have never interacted with Li Qingyue. Elder Li Yin told me that Li Qingyue's temper has always been different from ordinary people. She is very emotional. Twenty years ago, Li Qingyue wanted the sect master to change the sect's rules and accept people with bloodline outside. However, she was rejected by the sect master. Because of this, Li Qingyue made a huge fuss for a long time. She even went to other sects and found people from other sects to speak up for her. "
Liu Yi frowned and said, "If she was my subordinate, I would have chased her out long ago."
"That's the problem!" Shuang Er's voice was also serious, "Li Qingyue is the granddaughter of the previous sect master. She can't be chased out!"
With that said, everyone in the room trembled!
Liu Yi immediately realized the seriousness of the problem and said, "She is the granddaughter of the previous sect master. That means that the illegitimate child also has the bloodline of the previous sect master. Is Li Qingyue using this to make a fuss?"
"Yes! She said that the child is the descendant of the previous sect master. If the child dies, the previous sect master's bloodline will end! " Shuang Er hurriedly nodded and said, "Li Qingyue made a big fuss in Flower Moon Sect and made this matter known to everyone. It's obvious that she did it on purpose. She wants to use this bloodline to force Li Tang to save the child. Furthermore, the previous sect master is Li Tang's teacher. So … Sect Master Li also expressed that she was in a difficult position and wanted to discuss this matter with everyone. "
"…"
Liu Yi frowned and pondered. Everyone else also calmed down and looked at each other. No wonder Liu Yi always said that rules were important and that they should handle their personal matters well. They didn't expect that this matter would really happen.
The girls discussed softly and soon calmed down. They looked at Liu Yi. Shuang Er asked, "Big sister Yi, what should we do?"
"If it was me, this man would already be dead when I found out about the affair. Moreover, there wouldn't be a child." Liu Yi said, "Even if the child was already born, I wouldn't let him live and let so many things happen in the future."
"…"
The girls looked at Liu Yi in shock. However, they did believe that Liu Yi could do it. From a human's point of view, it was cold-blooded. However, from a manager's point of view, in order to maintain fairness and stability, no one could break the rules.
"From Li Tang's point of view, there are only two solutions to this matter." Liu Yi said, "One is to not save him at all. There's no problem with that and it's completely in line with the rules. However, whether it's because of his teacher's kindness or other reasons, Li Tang clearly doesn't have this determination. The second is to save him. However, after saving him, he can't let this illegitimate child enter the sect or let his own side deal with him. This isn't considered breaking the rules. Li Tang basically has this intention. It's just that he's too embarrassed to say it to his allies. "
"But … how do we save him?" Beauty Yang said. She looked at Liu Yi and said, "He's in Guang You Sect's hands. There must be many traps. We'll be sending ourselves to death if we go."
"That's right." Liu Yi nodded and said, "So there are two possibilities for Guang You Sect to do this. The first is purely to cause chaos in our alliance. This way, we just need to maintain the status quo. The second is that they want to use this hostage to gain more benefits. For example, they can force a level nine heavenly master to appear. They can even force Lu An to appear. "
"If the enemy doesn't move, we can't move. This way, the so-called hostage is just a decoration in their hands." Liu Yi looked at Shuang 'er and said, "Tell Li Tang to send someone to Guang You Sect to talk. Let them state their conditions and see what they want to do before making a decision."
"Okay!" Shuang 'er immediately nodded. She activated the transfer array and left the underground space.
After Shuang 'er left, Liu Yi pressed her tightly furrowed brows. In a war, any small matter could turn into a huge turning point. Hence, she had to be extremely careful. Just like how her husband was careful in battle, she wouldn't give the enemy any chances.
However, since the enemy was able to find a flaw in their alliance so quickly, she had to speed up. She wanted to cause chaos in the enemy, even more so than Flower Moon Sect.
