Hearing Lu An's words, the two's expressions changed. Panic appeared in their eyes as they looked at each other.
This meant that Lu An was right, or at least partially right.
However, the two quickly reacted. One of them smiled at Lu An and said, "Young Master Lu, you must be joking, right? We were ordered to guard this place. Why would we take Chen's things? "
"Is that so?" Lu An looked at the two and said calmly, "I don't know which clan you two are from, but I believe that once this matter is reported to the Fu Clan, the two of you will not be able to bear the consequences. As for how much responsibility you will have to bear, I'm not sure, but I'm sure the two of you know. "
"…"
The two's expressions turned even uglier. They knew that Lu An could enter and leave the Fu Clan as he pleased. Furthermore, with Lu An's status, he had a lot of authority in the Fu Clan. It was not a small matter for them to let Chen go. They thought that nothing would happen. After all, if this matter was exposed, Chen would not be able to bear the consequences. How did Lu An find out about this all of a sudden?
"The two of you?" Lu An looked at the two and asked again.
The two looked at each other. At this moment, one of them took a deep breath and said with gritted teeth, "I admit it! What does Young Master Lu want to do? Just say it! "
"I haven't thought of what I want to do yet." Lu An looked at the two and said calmly, "But I want to know how often he leaves, how often he comes back, and how many pills he gives to you. I hope to hear the truth the first time, so that it matches Chen's statement. If it doesn't match, then this matter is not small. I can only gather the three of you together and confront you in front of the Sengoku and Hachiko clan. "
The two's expressions turned stiff. The other person took a deep breath and said, "Last year, he left at the beginning of every month. From this year onwards, he left at the beginning of every two months! Every time he leaves, he has to give us a pill. So far, he has given us a total of eleven pills. He said that those are all he has and that he owes us the rest! "
Lu An And Yao's heart shook when he heard this. Eleven pills was indeed not a small number.
Seeing how nervous the two of them were, Lu An's expression remained calm as he said, "Don't worry, I won't take the medicinal pills back. You can keep them. I will not report this matter to the Fu Clan, but if I have any requests in the future, I hope that the two of you can be more accommodating. "
When the two of them heard this, their hearts immediately tightened. They knew that Lu An was using this matter to threaten them. They were not stupid and immediately said, "Young Master Lu, what are you trying to do? We will never betray the Hachiko clan! "
"I am the son-in-law of the Fu Clan, and can be considered half a member of the Fu Clan. How can I betray you?" Lu An said indifferently. "Don't worry, I will not make things difficult for the two of you."
Hearing Lu An's words, the two of them looked at each other. They indeed believed that Lu An would not betray the Hachiko clan. As long as he did not betray them, after weighing the benefits, they still chose to nod. One of them said, "Alright! As long as it is not too difficult, we are willing to be accommodating! "
"Then I shall thank the two of you in advance." Lu An clasped his hands and said, "Goodbye."
After that, Lu An left with Yao and returned to Sengoku.

In Chen's courtyard.
The four Immortal Lords were all gathered. As the leader of the four Immortal Lords, Sheng informed the other three Immortal Lords of this matter, and the three of them were extremely shocked. No one had expected Chen to do such a thing, and because of this, no one had discovered any clues!
They had no choice, as Chen was a junior that they had watched grow up, and they had high hopes for him. Chen's performance had not disappointed them. He had represented Sengoku's image well and had brought glory to Sengoku. In addition, Chen was the son of the Immortal Master. No one would have thought that Chen would betray Sengoku! If Chen had not admitted it himself, no one would have believed it with the evidence in front of them!
However, the four of them were indeed not qualified to judge Chen, let alone deal with him. Everything would have to wait until the Immortal Master and Immortal Empress came out of seclusion. In order to prevent this matter from being exposed, the four of them set the place of detention as Chen's courtyard. The four of them worked together and set up a powerful immortal array in Chen's bedroom. This immortal array was definitely not something that Chen could break, and it had a strong suppression effect on Chen's strength. The four Immortal Lords would often come here to replenish the power of the array, ensuring that Chen could not escape.
When Lu An And Yao returned, the four Immortal Lords had not finished setting up the immortal array. The two of them waited for a while before the four Immortal Lords stopped and walked out of Chen's bedroom. The immortal array was inside the bedroom, and it could not be seen from the outside.
When the other three Immortal Lords saw Lu An, they clasped their hands and bowed. "Young Master Lu."
"Greetings, seniors." Lu An returned the greeting respectfully.
"If Young Master Lu had not informed us, we would still be in the dark." One of the Immortal Lords spoke. His name was Wei Chi, and he said, "If this matter were to continue developing, the consequences would be unimaginable. Young Master Lu has helped Sengoku get rid of a huge problem, and we will definitely repay this favor. "
"Seniors must be joking." Lu An said seriously. "Yao Yao and I are husband and wife, so we are naturally part of Sengoku as well. This is part of my duty, and it's only right. You can say that I have contributed, but there's no need to say that I owe you a favor. "
Hearing Lu An's words, the four Immortal Lords revealed a smile. Unfortunately, when they suddenly found out about this matter, the four of them could not bring themselves to smile. This matter had not been settled yet, and they would definitely carefully investigate whether there were other people in Sengoku who were in contact with the Deathkin and Qi. If Qi could find Chen, they would be able to find others, and these people might not even know about Chen.
"Four Immortal Lords, I would like to go in and have a private chat with Chen. I wonder if that's possible?" Lu An suddenly asked.
The four of them were startled when they heard this, and they looked at each other. They had already said what needed to be said, so why did Lu An suddenly want to go in? Could it be that there was something they did not know about?
Furthermore, Lu An wanted to go in alone, without even bringing Yao Yao along. Why was that?
Yao Yao looked at Lu An with a puzzled look as well. She did not know what her husband wanted to do either. However, since Lu An had made the request, and this matter was resolved by Lu An, the four Immortal Lords had no reason to stop Lu An from entering.
"Alright." Sheng agreed, and raised his hand to open a door in the array at the entrance. He said, "Young Master Lu, please."
"Many thanks, Senior." Lu An cupped his fists, and entered under everyone's gazes.
Bang.
He stepped over the threshold, and entered the array. The array immediately closed on its own, isolating the inside from the outside. Even the four Immortal Lords did not know what was going on inside.
Within the immortal array, Lu An immediately felt a huge pressure. This pressure greatly reduced his strength, and it was extremely difficult for him to unleash his full strength. However, he had no problems moving around like a normal person.
This house was not big, and there was only a symbolic distance between the inner and outer rooms. Sengoku had always pursued nature, and even forbade extravagant behavior. Everything here was very simple, and there was no hidden aura of wealth. This meant that, at least, Chen did not pursue wealth.
Chen sat on the bed. Though his nose had recovered, his face was still covered in blood, and even his collar was the same. Naturally, he heard Lu An's footsteps, and turned to look.
Lu An was standing in the outer room, but in reality, the distance between the two of them was only two meters.
At this point, neither of them would exchange pleasantries, and for a moment, no one spoke. Chen only stared at Lu An. As for Lu An, he walked to the edge of the round table, and sat down on the chair.
Seeing Lu An sit down, Chen frowned! Of course, he hated Lu An. He did not expect that Lu An would betray him, and expose this matter! Otherwise, according to his plan, both the Deathkin and the Hachiko clan would suffer, and Sengoku would be revived!
There was an uncontrollable hatred in Chen's eyes. He did not hide it, but he did not dare to make a move. Because if he were to make a move in this immortal formation, the four Immortal Lords would immediately sense it, and he would be the one to be injured.
"What are you doing here?" Chen clenched his teeth and immediately shouted! Though he could not make a move, it did not mean that he could control his hatred!
Looking at Chen's hatred, Lu An continued to sit upright. There was no emotion in his dark eyes, not to mention fear.
"I'm here to chat with you," Lu An said calmly, "and also for you to say what you haven't said."
"I've said what I should say!" Chen shouted angrily. He stood up, pointed at Lu An, and shouted, "Don't you go too far!"
Looking at Chen's angry face, Lu An's gaze did not change, and he only shook his head slightly.
"No, you've only said part of the reason why you did all this," Lu An said calmly. "There's another reason that you didn't say. Or rather … you don't dare to say it. "
"Nonsense!" Chen roared, and the veins on his face and neck bulged. He shouted angrily, "I've already said all this, what else do I not dare to say?!"
"Of course you don't dare to say it, because it involves your dignity, and you don't have the face to say it." Lu An's dark eyes were like an abyss. He looked deeply at Chen and said calmly, "Am I right, the next Immortal Master?"
