Next, Lu An went to Mount Ming again and successfully found the cave that Du Yi said was connected to Guang You Sect. He also left the transportation formation there. After everything was done, Lu An only needed to go and observe regularly in the next few days before the operation.
In fact, when he was in the cave of Mount Ming, Lu An had forcibly opened the transportation formation left here by Guang You Sect's elder. Through his perception, he could roughly determine the location of Guang You Sect. But with Lu An's current ability to understand space, the range of location confirmed through space perception was still a little big. It was more or less troublesome to find. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Lu An decided not to make a move in advance.
The next day, in the evening.
The banquet was naturally held in the headquarters of Ice Fire Union. The four allies arrived one after another. Not only the sect master, but also the vice sect master and the core grand elder came to the banquet.
This banquet was not as grand as before. After all, it was above ground before. Now that it was underground, some singing and dancing would be deceiving. This banquet was more for unity. After all, at this level, no one cared about singing and dancing. They cared more about practical value.
But … what surprised Lu An was that other than the four sect masters, vice sect masters and core grand elders, there were two other unexpected guests.
Fire Mountain Sect's young master, Xu Wei.
Misty Rain Sect's sect master's daughter, Yan Taotao.
Needless to say, it was obvious why these two people had come. Ice Fire Union was the host and Princess Yan Yi was one of the core figures. Naturally, she would attend this banquet. Xu Wei had not seen Princess Yan Yi for at least two years. He thought about her day and night. It was a rare opportunity to beg his father to bring him here. Now that he saw Princess Yan Yi, Xu Wei's excitement could not be suppressed.
All along, he was most worried that Ice Fire Union would suddenly announce that Yan Yi had become a member of the Lu family. But fortunately, this nightmare did not come true. But even so, he was extremely worried. With Princess Yan Yi's beauty and talent, it was hard not to be moved.
Once Xu Wei arrived, his eyes were completely focused on Princess Yan Yi. If Xu Chen had not warned him not to do anything out of line, he would have run over now.
As for Yan Taotao, she naturally came for Lu An. It was just that the present Lu An was no longer like when he was young and did not know how to deal with relationships. The reason why the Seven Daughters of the Lu Clan existed was that he did not reject them enough back then. Now, he already had Fu Yu and seven other wives. He would not give any other woman a chance. Therefore, when Lu An noticed Yan Taotao's arrival, he didn't even look at her, not even once.
Lu An and the seven women were all masters of the Ice and Fire Union, so anyone could welcome guests. Yan Xi and Li Tang were handed over to Liu Yi, while Yan Tianxing and Xu Chen were received by Lu An. Very quickly, everyone sat down, and the delicious food was served.
Due to the disparity in strength between the two sides, the plan was quickly formulated by the core members of each family. There was no need to discuss anything at the banquet. This was purely a gathering. Although in Lu An's mind, such a thing was a waste of time, and it was better to cultivate, he also knew that such a thing had to be done. The ways of the world were also a kind of strength.
There was no alcohol at the banquet. Even if these people would not get drunk, they would use tea instead of wine. Most of the talk was about the four families praising Lu An and Yao Yao's talent and strength. Next was about their vision for the future.
The banquet was not long, but it was not short either. It lasted for about two hours. In the second half of the banquet, everyone was clearly more relaxed. At this moment, Xu Wei finally could not help but look for Princess Yan Yi. He really wanted to talk to Princess Yan Yi. Otherwise, there was no point in coming here.
Xu Wei came to Princess Yan Yi's side. The surrounding people saw this and looked at Xu Wei. The relationship between the two was not a secret. Xu Wei did not hide it. Instead, he directly spoke to Princess Yan Yi and said very gently, "Yan Yi, we haven't seen each other in a long time."
Princess Yan Yi turned to look at Xu Wei. After thinking for a moment, she stood up and bowed slightly. "Greetings, Young Master."
Yan Yi finally faced him, which made Xu Wei's heart suddenly feel empty. Princess Yan Yi basically did not change. Whether it was her appearance or temperament, they were all the same. If there was a change, it would be that there was a hint of sadness. After all, the destruction of the Southern Cloud Empire was a huge blow to Princess Yan Yi. When she was seriously ill, she never thought that she would see the day when the Southern Cloud Empire was destroyed. But even if Princess Yan Yi had experienced such a disaster, there was basically no trace of sadness on her face. This showed that she was recovering well here.
In this way, Xu Wei was relieved.
But what made him a little sad was that Princess Yan Yi was still talking and laughing with the surrounding people at the banquet. But now, standing in front of him, although she did not deliberately avoid him, the politeness of her salute pulled the distance apart.
"There is no need to be like this between you and me." Xu Wei smiled awkwardly and said, "How are you here? Are you okay? "
"Everything is fine." Princess Yan Yi gently said, "Thank you, Young Master, for your concern."
"…"
Hearing the latter half of Yan Yi's words, Xu Wei did not know how to continue.
However, if Xu Wei was so easy to retreat, he would not have come today. The embarrassment on his face quickly disappeared, and his whole person calmed down. He looked at Princess Yan Yi and said seriously, "I really like you … I want to know, between us … is it still possible?"
His voice was not loud, and only a few people around could hear it. Of course, the strength of the people present was high, and they could hear it if they wanted to. Sure enough, many people quietly moved their eyes to this side.
Xu Wei was a dignified Sect's Young Master, and Princess Yan Yi's status was not worthy of him. Even if Princess Yan Yi was now very important in the Ice Fire Union, there were many people as important as Princess Yan Yi. Overall, everyone thought that if Princess Yan Yi could marry Xu Wei, her status would rise, not fall.
Fire Mountain Sect's Sect Leader Xu Chen also looked at this side. He knew that his son was very infatuated, but there were many things that could not be done by oneself, just like cultivation.
In the eyes of many people, Princess Yan Yi looked up at Xu Wei, and without hesitation said softly, "Thank you, Young Master, for your love, but I do not have the heart to accept Young Master's love."
"…"
Although her voice was very soft, it was a public rejection.
The courtship of a dignified Sect's Young Master was rejected. Such a scene was really rare.
Naturally, Lu An and the seven women also noticed this scene. Liu Yi often interacted with Yan Yi, and it wasn't that she didn't have any interest in romance. On the contrary, Yan Yi stayed here for romance. Liu Yi looked at Lu An and secretly pinched Lu An.
Lu An was stunned and looked at Liu Yi helplessly.
After hearing Princess Yan Yi's answer, Xu Wei's heart was filled with sadness and sadness. He did not know what to say, so he could only leave and return to his seat. On the other side, Yan Taotao originally wanted to see Lu An, but after seeing this scene, she was even more afraid.
Yao and Liu Yi sat on the left and right of Lu An. Yan Taotao could not compare to their beauty and strength. Lu An already had a wife. If she went forward, she did not know if she would be sad, or she would embarrass the entire Misty Rain Sect. Especially when Liu Yi looked at her faintly, it gave her even more pressure. She originally planned to say something to Lu An, but she did not have the courage to do it.
That's right, Liu Yi did it on purpose to help Lu An avoid unnecessary trouble. The seven women in the clan were already enough, and no one wanted more.
The banquet ended very quickly, and Lu An personally sent the four allies off. After that, he did not rest. Instead, he prepared to go out and cultivate, while Yao stayed in the headquarters to protect everyone.
"Husband, don't forget that tomorrow night is the meeting between Karmic Fire Sect and Guang You Sect." Liu Yi looked at Lu An, who was about to leave, and said, "Husband, it's best to go and see how they communicate and what they talk about."
"Okay, I won't forget." Lu An nodded and said, "Then when do we take action?"
"Five days is the limit. We cannot delay until the last moment." Liu Yi had already thought of the time and said, "We will take action on the afternoon of the fifth day."
"Okay." Lu An noted it down. He did not need to think about anything in terms of strategy. He entered the teleportation array and left.
