Sengoku, in the guest hall of a courtyard.
When Chen said this, Lu An's heart trembled.
He was right.
Bang!
Suddenly, a sound was heard, causing Lu An and Chen to tremble. They immediately turned to look. Yao Yao, who was pouring tea, had lost her grip on the teacup and dropped it on the ground. Fortunately, the tea spilled, but the teacup did not break. After all, the teacup was not made of ordinary porcelain.
Lu An immediately stood up and walked to Yao Yao's side. He asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? "
Yao Yao's back was facing the two of them. Therefore, when Lu An came to Yao Yao's side, he could see how pale his wife's face was.
Yao Yao's face was really pale. Her body was even trembling slightly. This was when Yao Yao was trying her best to control herself. Otherwise, she would be easily sensed.
Lu An knew that his wife's current state could not be calmed by immortal energy. In order to avoid being exposed, the best choice was to divert his wife's attention and cover it up with a lie.
"I told you not to rush your cultivation. Otherwise, it will affect your aura," Lu An said seriously. "You should rest well for the next few days."
Yao Yao turned her head and looked at Lu An blankly. At this moment, Chen also stood up and walked over. Seeing his sister's complexion and Lu An's explanation, he had the same preconceived notion.
"Why is little sister like this? There's no need to rush her cultivation. Why is she in such a hurry? " Chen looked at his sister with concern. He then looked at Lu An and said, "Brother-in-law, you must take good care of her. You must not mistreat her."
"Brother Chen is right." Lu An nodded and looked at Yao Yao. He said, "If you're not feeling well, go back to your courtyard and rest."
"No." Yao Yao's voice was trembling. Her originally gentle voice seemed even weaker. She said, "I'll sit down and rest. You guys can continue chatting."
Lu An looked at his wife. He knew that his wife wanted to hear what was about to happen and did not want to leave. Lu An naturally would not force Yao Yao to leave. He nodded gently and led her to a chair to sit down.
After the three of them sat down once more, Yao closed her eyes and adjusted her breathing. With an excuse, Yao's condition would not reveal any flaws. More importantly, Chen was more concerned about Lu An's reply. He asked Lu An, "Brother-in-law, do you believe me this time?"
Hearing this, Lu An took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I've always wondered why the eight ancient clans would suddenly go into seclusion, causing the people of the entire continent to suffer and become like this. Brother Chen said that it's related to this force. Could it be that you know the specific reason? "
At this point, Chen felt that he had said enough. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "The last thing I can tell you is that the Hachiko clan is busy fighting against this force. That's why they can't manage the mainland. That's all I can say, and my sincerity is enough. I won't say anything else. Now, let's see what Brother-in-law chooses. "
"…"
Lu An took a deep breath and sat on the chair, deep in thought. Chen looked at Lu An. He knew that this was a difficult decision for Lu An. After all, it was related to Fu Yu. Everyone knew that Lu An and Fu Yu had a deep relationship. Between love and hatred, no one could tell which Lu An would choose.
Finally, after a long time, Lu An lifted his head and looked at Chen. "If Brother Chen can agree to one of my conditions, I'll cooperate with you!"
Chen was delighted when he heard that. He immediately asked, "What condition? Is it to protect Fu Yu? "
"No." Lu An's eyes turned cold. He said in a deep voice, "My condition is that only the two of us know about our cooperation. Brother Chen, you can't tell the force behind us anything about our cooperation. You can't reveal any of my characteristics!"
Chen was obviously stunned when he heard Lu An's words. He didn't expect Lu An to make such a request. He asked curiously, "Why?"
"It's just a way out," Lu An said in a deep voice. "All I want is revenge. I don't care about anything else. If the cooperation is successful, I don't need any rewards or status after the Hachiko clan is destroyed. However, if the cooperation fails, I can at least escape unscathed. There's no evidence that I've directly cooperated with the enemies of the Hachiko clan. "
When Chen heard this, he gasped!
Lu An was really far-sighted!
However, what Lu An said was reasonable. After the cooperation, Lu An would naturally provide him with information, and he would also need to provide information to the force behind the cooperation. The force would definitely ask about the source of the information. It seemed like he could only fabricate someone else and couldn't reveal Lu An.
Lu An was his younger sister's husband. In fact, he liked his younger sister very much. The less Lu An was involved, the better. This war wasn't certain who would win or lose, and he didn't want his younger sister to be involved.
"No problem!" After thinking about it, Chen nodded and promised, "Only you and I know about this. Of course, my younger sister is included! Other than the three of us, I promise that no one else will know about this! "
"Alright!" Lu An cupped his hands and said seriously, "If that's the case, I'm willing to cooperate with Brother Chen. I hope we can succeed!"
Seeing that Lu An had finally agreed, Chen was finally relieved. He smiled and said, "With brother-in-law's help, we can definitely succeed!"
After thinking about it, Chen said, "Why don't I get someone to prepare some delicacies for us to celebrate?"
"No, it's too suspicious to do this all of a sudden." Lu An immediately rejected and said, "It's better for us to be careful. It won't be too late to celebrate after the Hachiko clan is destroyed."
"Haha! Brother-in-law is right! "Chen laughed and said," Then I'll listen to brother-in-law's suggestion. We can drink after we succeed! "
After chatting for a while, Lu An stood up and cupped his hands. "I'll attract attention if I stay here for too long. It's better for me to leave. Brother Chen, do you have anything you need me to do? "
"I don't have any specific tasks for now." Chen shook his head and said, "Brother-in-law, you just need to pay more attention to the actions of the eight ancient clans, especially the Fu Clan's actions. When you have time, go to the Fu Clan and see more, listen more, and tell me everything you see. As for the specific tasks, I'll think about them carefully. "
"Alright." Lu An said, "Then I'll take my leave."
Then, Lu An and Yao left the courtyard together. They went to Yao's courtyard and left through the Teleportation Array.

Eight Ancient Continent, Ice and Fire Union
In the central pavilion, Liu Yi, Liu Lan, and Yang Mu were waiting for Lu An And Yao to return. They weren't worried about any danger. After all, they were going to Sengoku. They wouldn't put Lu An in danger. Liu Yi was worried that the negotiation wouldn't go well and their intentions would be exposed.
The three women waited quietly. Liu Yi didn't say anything, so Liu Lan and Yang Mu didn't dare to say anything. Finally, when the Gate of the Immortal World appeared in the room, the three women's eyes lit up and they stood up.
The one who walked out was naturally Lu An And Yao. However, the moment Yao Yao stepped on the ground, her legs went soft. It was as if her body had lost all its strength and she couldn't stand and was about to fall.
Lu An naturally wouldn't let his wife fall. He immediately reached out and hugged Yao Yao's slender waist, sending her to sit on a chair at the side. When Liu Lan and Yang Mu saw this scene and saw Yao Yao's expression, they were at a loss and anxious. They didn't know what had happened.
However, Liu Yi could guess. The situation might be the same as what she had guessed.
Lu An and the three women sat down. Liu Yi immediately asked, "Husband, how was it?"
"According to what you've taught me, I've said everything I should say." Lu An sucked in a deep breath. The joy he had felt in the celestial region, in front of Chen, and after reaching an agreement with him, had completely disappeared. He no longer needed to put on an act. Instead, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he said solemnly, "I've already worked with him."
Following that, Lu An recounted the contents of his conversation with Chen word for word without missing a single detail. When Liu Lan and Yang Mu heard that the Hachiko clan had retired and that they were busy fighting against this force, they had already confirmed the facts. They didn't think that there was any other possibility.
Even Liu Yi's brows furrowed more and more.
After telling them everything, Lu An looked at Liu Yi and asked, "What should we do next?"
