In the meeting hall, after Lu An's words left his mouth, there was dead silence!
The Tianji Clan members' expressions changed drastically. Anger was written all over their faces, and the way they looked at Lu An instantly turned from calm to fierce! A few of them even clenched their fists, and the aura around them became very unstable!
If not for Lu An's special identity, they would have already attacked!
One had to know that the Tianji Clan was most proud of their ability, and it was even more important than their own strength. It could be said that it represented the clan's dignity! Insulting the Tianji Clan was equivalent to insulting the entire Tianji Clan's beliefs. How could they not be angry?
Chu Zhengji and Chu Xuan's expressions immediately became very gloomy, and the way they looked at Lu An was clearly not friendly! Even the aura around them changed. If the two of them attacked, Lu An would definitely not be able to survive.
Yao could naturally see that the other party was about to draw their swords and was looking at Lu An nervously. Lu An did not look at Yao, and his pair of dark eyes did not change at all. It was as if he did not notice the change in the other party's mood and aura at all. He sat quietly as usual.
Lu An knew that the other party would not attack him, much less Yao.
Chu Zhengji's eyes were filled with coldness as he asked, "What are you trying to say?"
"Indeed, it's not pleasant to hear." Lu An was not frightened by the aura of a Heavenly King Realm cultivator at all. Unless it was a real pressure, any change in intent or Divine Sense would be like falling into a bottomless abyss, without any ripples or reverberations. Lu An looked calmly at Chu Zhengji and said indifferently, "But in my opinion, that's the truth. As long as I have some time, I can replicate the Tianji Clan's tricks that I saw yesterday. When the time comes, I'll pass these tricks to the other Hachiko clan, and then pass on the secrets to other stars. Will Clan Leader Chu still think that the Tianji Clan is that important? "
"…"
Hearing this, the Tianji Clan members' expressions turned even colder!
A threat!
A naked threat!
Before today's negotiation, no one would have thought that Lu An would dare to threaten the Tianji Clan with just the three of them! What was even more unexpected was that Lu An wasn't threatening the safety of the Heaven's Legacy Race, but the Heaven's Legacy Race!
Chu Xuan took a deep breath and said coldly, "Young Master Lu, you're so young, but you talk big! Even if Patriarch Fu Teng came here personally, he wouldn't dare to say that he would be able to see through the trick with just a few glances. Young Master Lu, aren't you exaggerating too much? "
"Madam Chu, please don't be angry," said Lu An with a smile as he looked at Chu Xuan. "I'm just stating the facts. As for Madam Chu's claim that even Clan Leader Futeng couldn't see through the technique, is she too confident in herself or underestimating the Futeng Clan? "
"You!" Madam Chu's expression immediately changed. She was clearly even more furious! Just as she was about to say something, Chu Zhengji raised his hand to stop her.
Looking at the arm in front of her, Madam Chu finally swallowed her words. However, she continued glaring angrily at Lu An.
"What kind of person is Young Master Lu? Rumors have been spreading like wildfire in the galaxy recently. I'm also very clear about it." Chu Zhengji looked at Lu An. His voice didn't become louder. Instead, it became softer as he said, "Rumor has it that Young Master Lu is a peaceful person who doesn't take the initiative to fight with others. However, you're being so overbearing right now. Young Master Lu, why do you have to beat around the bush? I'm a straightforward person. Why don't you get to the point? "
Upon hearing Chu Zhengji's words, Lu An also liked to talk directly. He smiled and said, "Of course I'm not really threatening Patriarch Chu. I just want to make a bet with Patriarch Chu."
"A bet?" Chu Zhengji frowned even more. He asked, "What's the bet? You want me to join the alliance? "
"That's right," said Lu An with a smile. "We'll use the Heaven's Legacy Race's tricks as a bet. Patriarch Chu, pick one of the tricks you saw yesterday and give it to me to play with for two hours. If I can replicate this trick, the Heaven's Legacy Race will join the alliance. How's that? "
"Two hours?" Chu Xuan frowned and reprimanded, "I thought you could replicate it after looking at it a few times yesterday!"
"It's not impossible, but it would waste a lot of time." Lu An said softly, "However, two hours isn't a long time. Is the Heaven's Legacy Race that unconfident in their tricks?"
"…"
The people behind Chu Zhengji glared at Lu An. Although they were stronger, they didn't have the right to speak, especially in front of the Patriarch.
In their opinion, this Lu An was pestering them endlessly! After Liu Yuan had returned yesterday, she had already informed the Patriarch of where they had gone. Naturally, this included the city that produced the tricks. Although the tricks in that city weren't considered top secret, they weren't ordinary tricks either. If they could replicate it after looking at it for two hours, how could the Heaven's Legacy Race have their current status?
However, there were one or two people who didn't show too much anger. Instead, they calmly observed Lu An's state. Chu Zhengji was even more so. He looked at Lu An's expression, but he couldn't read any emotions from the other party's eyes.
Even he couldn't tell if Lu An was bluffing, or if he really had the ability. It was precisely because he couldn't tell that he didn't dare to easily agree to the bet.
"What if you can't replicate it?" Chu Zhengji asked.
"If I can't, at the very least, Yao and I won't disturb the Heaven's Legacy Race again. If that's still not enough, I can never appear before the two of you. If we meet in the future, we'll avoid each other like the plague, "Lu An said.
"…"
Lu An's voice was too calm, but his words were too confident, as though he definitely wouldn't lose. Although avoiding each other didn't sound like much, with Lu An's status and future achievements, it was definitely not an ordinary matter. If he lost, it would definitely become a stain on his life.
If Lu An could show a certain emotion, whether he was guilty or confident, Chu Zhengji could easily make a choice. However, the more Lu An acted like this, the more he didn't dare to take the bet.
If he lost, it wouldn't be as simple as joining the Hachiko clan's alliance. Even the reputation of the Heaven's Legacy Race would be lost.
Chu Zhengji turned to look at his wife, and after a few breaths, he turned to look at the people behind him, especially the two calmest people. Although they didn't speak, it was very obvious that they were communicating via divine sense. Lu An wasn't in a hurry. He leaned back in his chair and patiently waited for the results of their discussion.
"Husband." Yao's voice suddenly rang out in Lu An's sea of consciousness. She asked, "This … Will it really be alright? Won't it offend the Heaven's Legacy Race too much? Also, is husband really confident? "
That's right, even Yao was worried about whether Lu An could successfully replicate it. Even though she had always been very confident in Lu An, the Heaven's Legacy Race was still a large race in the galaxy. If it didn't work …
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Lu An looked at his worried wife and said with a smile.
Behind them, Fu Yueni saw the smile on Lu An's face. Although she didn't know what Lu An and Yao were talking about, it was very obvious that Lu An wasn't worried about the consequences of the bet at all. It was as if victory was already in his hands.
Lu An's smile was also seen by the Heaven's Legacy Race.
After the Heaven's Legacy Race discussed for a while, Chu Zhengji turned to face Lu An again. Seeing that the other party was looking at him, Lu An stopped talking with his wife and turned to look at the other party.
"How is it?" Lu An smiled and asked, "Has Clan Head Chu come to a conclusion?"
Looking at Lu An's smile, Chu Zhengji was honestly very angry. It was as if the Heaven's Legacy Race couldn't win in this brat's eyes. Even if he had to offend Sengoku, he had to ruthlessly destroy this brat's arrogance this time! Chu Zhengji took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "If you want to bet, sure. If you want my Heaven's Legacy Race to join the alliance, that's also not a problem. However, you can't decide what we'll compete in. It has to be decided by me."
Lu An was slightly startled when he heard this, then said with a smile, "The guest will follow the host's wishes. Clan Head Chu has the final say."
"Alright." Chu Zhengji raised three fingers and said, "We'll compete in three rounds."
"I'm all ears," Lu An said.
"The first round, you'll fight with an elder under my command," Chu Zhengji said in a deep voice. "However, Young Master Lu, don't worry. I know that you've just broken through half a year ago. I won't let an elder who has cultivated for hundreds or even thousands of years to fight with you. I guarantee that the person fighting will be under a hundred years old. How about that? "
Under a hundred years old?
Yao was clearly a little nervous. A Heaven Tier expert under a hundred years old did sound very young. After all, a Heaven Tier expert had a lifespan of two thousand years. However, her husband was only twenty-two years old this year! This was unfair!
