"Sengoku?"
Lu An was startled. After a quick search in his mind, he shook his head and said, "I don't know. What's that?"
Yao's eyelids drooped slightly as if she was thinking of something. She said softly, "It's a very distant place, a very beautiful place."
"Distant?" Lu An was a little startled. He thought for a moment and asked, "Not in the Tiancheng Country?"
"Yes." Yao said softly, "It's very, very far away, much farther than the Tiancheng Country."
Lu An blushed slightly and said awkwardly, "I haven't been to such a distant place. Even the Tiancheng Country is big enough for me."
Yao smiled faintly and said, "If there's a chance, you should go to a farther and bigger place. I think you have a lot of potential and shouldn't be trapped by the Tiancheng Country."
Lu An smiled and said, "When I grow up, maybe I'll go to a farther place."
Yao nodded slightly, as if she was thinking of something.
"Then why did Miss Yao come to the distant Tiancheng Country?" Lu An thought for a moment and asked in confusion, "It's such a long way, and Miss Yao doesn't have anyone to protect her. Won't there be trouble?"
Yao's body trembled slightly and she lowered her head slightly. With a trace of sadness in her voice, she said softly, "Originally, there was someone by my side."
Lu An's heart shook when he heard this. Looking at Yao's appearance, if he still could not guess that she might have been hurt by love, then he would be too stupid.
Looking at Yao's sad look, Lu An hurriedly laughed and said, "There's no need to think about the past. Why don't you think about something happy?"
However, when Lu An said this, he found that Yao's expression became even sadder. For a moment, Lu An didn't know what to say. He could only stand there and scratch his head.
"Ah, right!" Lu An suddenly thought of something and said, "Miss Yao, I haven't returned the coat you lent me last time. Wait for me to get it for you!"
"No need." Yao lightly turned her head, looked at Lu An, and said. "You saved me once, so I'll give that coat to you as a gift."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, disappearing from the top of the ship. Only Lu An was left standing there in a daze.
After a while, Lu An came back to his senses and couldn't help but smile bitterly. This was the first time he had heard of someone using a coat as a gift, even though the coat looked very expensive.
But it didn't matter. Anyway, there was still a lot of space in his ring, so it didn't matter if he put a coat in it. However, thinking about the pure white coat with feathers on the collar, it was indeed a little special.
Thinking of the ring, Lu An suddenly remembered that there was still an unopened brocade box in his ring. He couldn't help but feel shocked. He quickly left the top of the ship and returned to his room.
Lu An did not talk much with Xiao Tong. He quickly returned to his room and took out the long brocade box from his ring.
The brocade box was about three feet long and half a foot wide. It was rectangular in shape. Holding the brocade box in his hand, Lu An could still feel that there was a life inside. Without hesitation, he immediately opened the brocade box. In an instant, a sharp aura assaulted his senses, causing him to slightly squint his eyes.
However, when he saw the object inside the brocade box, he was stunned.
This … seemed to be a scepter?
Lu An looked at the object inside the brocade box in astonishment. This indeed looked like a scepter. It was dark green in color, the bottom half was smooth, and the top half had a semicircle shape. On the semicircle, there were many complicated patterns and characters. Even though Lu An had learned how to read, but these characters were still hard to understand.
Lu An slightly frowned. This time, it wasn't because of these hard to understand characters. Instead, it was because within the semicircle at the top of the scepter, there was a crystal nucleus.
That's right, it was a crystal nucleus. This was a weapon.
Just now, the sharpness that Lu An felt came from this crystal nucleus. Especially now that there was no brocade box to block it, the sharpness was even more obvious, as if it was going to pierce through his skin.
Lu An's eyes slightly congealed. Stretching out his hand, he lightly touched the crystal nucleus. Whether it was this sharp feeling, or the texture of the crystal nucleus, it made Lu An very sure of one thing.
This was a crystal nucleus of a metal attribute beast. Moreover, it was at least a second rank beast's crystal nucleus.
Thinking of this, Lu An suddenly thought of that deep pit. Among the five elements, earth gave birth to metal. As the child of earth, metal naturally could absorb large amounts of earth's energy. Therefore, with the existence of this crystal nucleus that was still alive, the subsidence of that piece of land was not difficult to understand.
At the same time, metal restrains wood. In the area affected by the crystal nucleus, it was very reasonable that not even a blade of grass grew. Therefore, the spectacle of that deep pit, was all caused by this crystal nucleus.
This scepter amplified the power of the crystal nucleus. Lu An could feel that this weapon's craftsmanship was excellent. Moreover, the beast that this crystal nucleus came from was probably not ordinary. Even though its strength could not be considered powerful, but it was definitely a special species.
Only now, Lu An did not know whether to laugh or cry. It was obviously a good weapon in hand, but it was useless to him. He was not a metal attribute Heavenly Master, and had never used a scepter. With such a thing in hand, it was better to exchange it for some money.
Lu An sighed. It seemed that this trip to the forest did not have much of a harvest for him. Just as he was about to put the scepter back into the brocade box, he suddenly stopped.
Because he discovered that on the back of the scepter, there was actually the shape of a skull engraved!
What was this?
Lu An once again placed the scepter in front of his eyes, carefully examining the pattern on the back. But making weapons required a very complicated process, and this skull was just like a decoration. No one would be willing to do such a meaningless thing.
Whether it was the scepter or the strange pattern, Lu An was somewhat puzzled. However, since it was useless to him, he did not want to spend too much effort on it. After putting the scepter back into the brocade box and the brocade box back into the ring, Lu An closed his eyes and prepared to cultivate.
However, just as he closed his eyes, he suddenly heard a series of hurried knocks on the door. Even though he was in the bedroom, he could hear it clearly. It was obvious how loud the knocks were.
Lu An frowned slightly, opened his eyes, got up, opened the door, and went to the guest room. He noticed that Xiao Tong was looking at the door in surprise, and then looked at Lu An in a panic.
Lu An frowned, and said softly, "I'll go open the door."
After saying that, he strode to the door and opened it, causing the people outside who were frantically knocking on the door to miss.
The sudden opening of the door stunned the people outside. Lu An frowned and looked at the people outside the door. At a simple glance, there were at least ten people.
"What's the matter?" Lu An frowned slightly and asked.
Those people looked at each other, and soon one of them shouted loudly, "It's him!"
Upon hearing that, Lu An turned to look. It was indeed one of the two bodyguards that he had injured last night. He saw that the bodyguard's hand was still wrapped with ointment, and the bandage was stained red with blood.
Hearing that person's voice, these people quickly took out their swords and prepared to attack Lu An. However, at this moment, a sharp voice suddenly came from the side.
Xiao Tong quickly came to Lu An's side and glared at these people. "Who are you people? How dare you behave so atrociously in the Sky Room. Do you want to die?"
Xiao Tong's voice was very loud and filled with anger, but unfortunately, it did not have any effect. When the burly men outside the door saw Xiao Tong who was wearing a maid's uniform, their eyes were filled with contempt.
"A maid dares to talk to me like that? Kill her too!" The person at the front shouted loudly, and then he brandished his sword and was about to charge into the room!
However, at this moment, Lu An who was inside the room advanced instead of retreating. He took a step forward and arrived outside the door. At the same time, he waved his hand and closed the door instantly.
"Don't come out." Before the door was closed, Lu An's voice was heard. There was no trace of emotion in his voice.
With a bang, Xiao Tong was locked in the room. Following that, Xiao Tong heard a series of noises coming from outside the door. However, these noises were not very loud. Instead, they were very dull, and did not sound like a fight at all.
What made Xiao Tong even more surprised was that these noises stopped after a short five breaths. Following that, the door was opened again.
The moment the door was opened, Xiao Tong was very nervous. However, when she saw that her master appeared unharmed, she instantly laughed happily!
Below her master's feet, there were people who had collapsed one by one. These people's bodies were covered in frost, and their bodies were still in a moving position. Each of them looked like they were frozen stiff, like statues.
"Get someone to clean this place up." Lu An said calmly, as if nothing had happened just now. "Also, look for the supervisor here. I want to know why these people appeared."
