The banquet went on. As time passed, the atmosphere gradually recovered and became lively again. After all, such banquets were rare and might not even be held once in a few years. It was rare for everyone to gather together, so they had to at least enjoy themselves.
The fact that Fu Yueni had taken a seat could not be changed, so everyone deliberately ignored it. The performances ended one by one, and everyone's conversation was heated and on the right track. Everyone, including Lu An, kept talking to others as if nothing had happened. More than an hour had passed since the banquet started. On average, everyone had drunk a pot of wine. The performances had also come to an end. Otherwise, it would be very tiring to keep watching.
Right at this moment, someone at the single table suddenly spoke to Lu An, "Young Master Lu's reputation has been like the sun in the midday sky recently. News of Young Master Lu is spreading everywhere!"
Lu An smiled. He had heard such words many times tonight. He said, "It's just a false reputation. I'm not worthy of such fame."
"Sigh! It's said that there's no such thing as a false reputation. Young Master Lu is too modest! " The person waved his hand and said, "We've heard a lot of rumors about Young Master Lu. It's said that Young Master Lu's combat ability is superb, especially in close combat. Even the sects on the Immortal Planet are no match for Young Master Lu!"
Lu An shook his head and said with a smile, "My strength is at the bottom of the sects. How can I be invincible? What you've heard are just rumors. "
"Is that so?" Chu Zhengji looked at Lu An and said, "I've also heard some things. It's said that Young Master Lu is good at alchemy and even won first place at the Apothecary Conference. Alchemy is not a simple matter. It requires precise control of power and multitasking. "
"That was just a secular Apothecary Conference. The Hachiko clan and the sects did not participate," Lu An explained with a smile. "It was just a competition between ordinary people."
"Even a competition between ordinary people is not easy," Chu Zhengji said. "Now that Young Master Lu is so valued, your future is limitless."
Lu An smiled and raised his wine cup to toast Chu Zhengji. Just as the two of them finished their drinks, the person who spoke earlier suddenly spoke up again, "If Young Master Lu doesn't mind … I wonder if you can show us a few moves to broaden our horizons?"
As soon as he said this, Lu An's eyes turned cold.
Even Chu Zhengji was clearly taken aback. He immediately turned to look at the person who spoke, his eyes filled with displeasure!
"How dare you!" Chu Zhengji immediately shouted.
That person immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word. That's right, this was extremely disrespectful behavior. Lu An was a guest and the son-in-law of the Fu Clan and Sengoku. How could he act like a performer and show off his skills here? To be able to say such words was extremely disrespectful to Lu An.
Lu An looked at Chu Zhengji. From the other party's expression, he seemed to be really angry. This meant that this scene was not deliberately arranged. Logically speaking, a person who could sit here shouldn't be spouting such nonsense. Could it be that it was just this person's problem?
"Young Master Lu, Princess Yao, please don't blame me," said Chu Zhengji as he looked at Lu An.
"Patriarch Chu is overthinking. Naturally, I won't blame you for an unintentional act," said Lu An with a smile.
This was just a simple interlude. Both parties did not speak of this matter again. After continuing to chat for a while, Chu Zhengji asked again, "I heard that the Futeng Clan is also under Young Master Lu's control. Is this true?"
"It is true," said Lu An. "The current Futeng Clan Leader is called Zhu He. He is a very chivalrous person."
"Back in the day, the Futeng Clan and my Tianji Clan had a very deep relationship." Chu Zhengji shook his head slightly and said emotionally, "The Futeng Clan's mechanisms and formations are preserved in my Tianji Clan. They are simply amazing. With the Futeng Clan in Young Master Lu's hands, I believe Young Master Lu has learned quite a bit, right? "
"Senior Zhu He was generous with his teachings. However, I am rather stupid and only know a little." Lu An said, "I will only use it when I am caught in someone else's mechanisms and formations. Normally, I will not use it either."
"If there's a chance, I would really like to meet this Patriarch," said Chu Zhengji. "The exchange back then benefited my Tianji Clan greatly. Now that tens of thousands of years have passed, there will definitely be new insights if we exchange it again."
"If there's a chance in the future, I will introduce you to him," said Lu An.
The banquet passed in a relatively peaceful atmosphere. The so-called peaceful atmosphere referred to the attitude between Chu Zhengji and Lu An. They were not too close, and neither did they shed all pretense of cordiality. At the very least, they were still in a very friendly state on the surface.
When the banquet was about to end, Chu Zhengji took the initiative to speak to Lu An. "I know that Young Master Lu and Young Master Yao are here for the cooperation. The two of you have a good night's rest. We will formally discuss it tomorrow morning. How about it?"
"Alright," said Lu An. "We will listen to Patriarch Chu's arrangements."

At the same time.
Galaxy, Chu Clan's frontline headquarters.
Chu Yu and Chu Li had been hanging out for many days. However, the two of them were siblings after all. Furthermore, they had a very good relationship since they were young. The others did not feel that there was a problem. After all, Chu Yu was not a frontline commander. He was only in charge of a few intelligence departments, and the work was completely under his control. He had never been so happy before, nor had he ever been so indulgent.
At this very moment, the two of them had just made love. Chu Li was sweating profusely as she walked to the side and drank a mouthful of water. Without even turning her head, she asked Chu Yu, "Brother, that adulterous couple should have already reached the Knowledge Planet, right?"
"They definitely have." Chu Yu was a little out of breath as he said, "Don't worry, I've already made the arrangements."
Chu Li had always hoped to do something to Lu An. Chu Yu doted on his sister, and had always been looking for news regarding Lu An. Finally, he found out that Lu An would be heading to the Knowledge Planet in a few days' time. The Knowledge Planet was a tough bone to chew. Previously, two clans had already gone to negotiate, but both had ended in failure. The Fu Clan had also gone once, but it was to no avail. Everyone thought that the Fu Clan would give up, but they did not expect something like this to happen.
As the young master of Sengoku, and with the Immortal Master Token, the Knowledge Planet might very well agree. After Chu Yu told his sister about this matter, Chu Li only had one goal, and that was to disrupt the negotiations! No matter what, she could not let the negotiations succeed and let that brat Lu An have his way. It would be best if she could drive a wedge between them and cause a conflict between the Knowledge Planet and Lu An, and let that brat die on the Knowledge Planet!
Because of his sister's strong request, Chu Yu immediately sent someone to negotiate with the Knowledge Planet. Of the two clans that had failed to negotiate with the Knowledge Planet, the Chu Clan was one of them. Although they failed, the Chu Clan made a few friends in case they needed them in the future. They did not expect that they would be able to use them now.
The one who spoke at tonight's banquet was one of Chu Yu's collaborators.
"Will it work?" Chu Li turned to look at Chu Yu and asked, "If that brat succeeds in this mission, he will definitely gain a lot of fame."
"Don't worry, I've already offered very generous conditions. The other party is very tempted." Chu Yu took a deep breath. He knew that his sister was very concerned, so he became serious and said, "Only if he succeeds in stopping me will I give him a reward. If he doesn't succeed, he won't get anything. I believe he will do his best."
"That's good." Chu Li gritted her teeth and said angrily, "When I think of that brat running around in the limelight outside, I'm angry!"
"Alright, alright, you don't have to keep thinking about him. Leave his matters to me." Chu Yu stood up and comforted Chu Li, "Actually, I think you don't have to worry too much. The more fame he accumulates now, the faster he will die."
Chu Li was stunned when she heard this. She asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"
"It's hard to stop halfway." Chu Yu said, "When the war fully begins, the greater his fame, the greater his responsibility. He must rush to the front lines and fight. He can't hide in the back and watch, or else he will be cursed to death. Once he rushes to the front lines, what do you think he can do with his strength? Add to that the hatred the Spirit Race has for him, and they want nothing more than to skin him alive. How can he survive? "
"That's true." Chu Li felt that it made sense, but she still said, "But when I think of his smug look, I can't help but be angry! He's just an abandoned pawn. Why should he live so well? "
"Don't worry. Since he left the Immortal Planet, he won't be able to live for long," Chu Yu said. "Why should we be in a hurry?"
