At the headquarters of the Tripartite Alliance, in the central pavilion, there was a huge reception hall.
A spatial ripple appeared, and two figures appeared out of thin air. They were none other than Lu An And Yao.
Before using the spatial teleportation, Yao Yao did not say who the newcomers were, but Lu An had already guessed who they were. When Lu An appeared in the Guest Hall, he immediately turned his head and looked around, taking in everyone in the hall.
There were a total of five people present. Liu Yi, the Immortal Master, the Immortal Empress, and the Sacred Emissary Yan Xing were all present. There was only one person that Lu An had never seen before. Because of this, Lu An's gaze finally landed on this person.
He could not sense this person's aura, and the fact that this person could sit on the same level as the Immortal Master and the Immortal Empress was enough to show his strength.
After Lu An And Yao arrived, the first person to stand up was naturally Liu Yi. Her voice was calm, and unlike her usual coquettish or teasing tone, she said, "Husband."
Lu An nodded slightly, and the other four stood up as well. Of course, they did not stand up because of Lu An's strength, but because of Lu An's identity. Lu An was an alliance leader after all, and since the newcomers were guests, they stood up out of courtesy.
"Immortal Master, Immortal Empress, Sacred Emissary." Lu An cupped his fists and took the initiative to greet them. Then, he looked at the strangers again.
The six people in the room stood up. Just as Lu An finished speaking, the Immortal Master spoke. His voice was not as polite as a normal introduction. Instead, it was a little serious. He said to Lu An, "Lu An, this is a guest from the Hachiko clan and the Kang Clan. His name is Jiang Que."
Then, the Immortal Master looked at Jiang Que and said, "He is Lu An."
After the Immortal Master finished speaking, the hall was completely silent.
Jiang Que looked at Lu An, and Lu An looked back at Jiang Que. Both of them were looking at each other and sizing each other up. Moreover, they did not hide their gazes at all.
This was the first time Jiang Que had seen Lu An. He was also the first Heavenly King Realm expert from the Kang Clan to see Lu An. The last time he came, he couldn't see Lu An with his own eyes. This time, he finally saw him with his own eyes. He had to try his best to see through all of Lu An's secrets and bring the news back.
However … when Jiang Que tried to use his perception to probe Lu An's secrets, he found that he couldn't sense Lu An's aura at all. He couldn't even sense the insides of Lu An's bloodline. It was as if there was a barrier blocking it. Without a doubt, it was the Concealment Immortal Hoop that concealed Lu An's bloodline.
The Hidden Immortal Ring was forged by a generation's Immortal Master. This Immortal Master was a peak Heavenly King Stage expert. Even if Jiang Que wanted to see through it, it was simply impossible.
However, even if he couldn't sense Lu An's bloodline, Jiang Que could see Lu An's personality from Lu An's behavior. In the past, no matter how much information he had, it was all hearsay and written. It was far from being able to see it in person. Jiang Que looked at Lu An's decent facial features and looked at Lu An's well-proportioned and tall figure. He couldn't even sense any artistic conception or temperament from Lu An's body. However, when Jiang Que saw Lu An's eyes, his expression became very serious.
Jiang Que was someone who had seen a Heavenly God before.
It had always been rumored that special eyes could create supreme experts. It was precisely because of this that the Heavenly God treated Fu Yu specially. Now that he saw Lu An, he probably also found out the reason why the Heavenly God treated Lu An specially.
Lu An looked at Jiang Que. With his strength, he naturally couldn't pry into Jiang Que's strength. However, no one knew what he could see from this pair of dark eyes.
What was certain was that after the Immortal Master introduced both parties, neither of them spoke for a while. They didn't even take the initiative to greet each other.
Seeing a member of the Kang Clan, even though Lu An's heart was extremely calm, it didn't mean that there was no hatred. Any member of the Kang Clan was an enemy to him. Hong Yi had said that in order to hunt down his mother, the Kang Clan had sent out many clansmen and strange beasts. Therefore, Lu An definitely didn't hate Jiang Yuan alone. It was precisely because of this that he couldn't show any respect to his enemy.
Of course, Lu An wasn't a person with a backbone. He wouldn't judge the situation and let himself live. If he didn't have his current relationships with so many forces, Lu An would definitely think of a way to let himself live if he saw Jiang Que outside. He could even throw away his dignity completely because he wanted to kill his enemy in the end. However, now that he had so many connections, he had the right to not take the initiative to greet his enemy.
If Lu An didn't take the initiative to speak, Jiang Que, as an elder and a Heavenly King Realm expert, couldn't speak first either. Therefore, the atmosphere became tense for a while. The conversation between the two parties had become like this before it even started. It could be expected that the conversation would be even more difficult in the future.
Both parties were in a deadlock. If Lu An didn't speak, as his wives, Yao and Liu Yi naturally couldn't speak either. In other words, if they wanted to adjust the atmosphere, the Immortal Master, the Immortal Empress, and the Sacred Envoy had to speak.
The Immortal Master looked at both parties and coughed lightly. He even gave up on the process of greeting each other and said directly, "Let's not stand. Let's sit down and talk."
After the Immortal Master spoke, both parties didn't say anything. The six people in the room all sat down. This time, Lu An was present. Moreover, Liu Yi had taken the initiative to call Lu An back. This meant that Liu Yi was prepared to talk to the other party and find out what the other party wanted to do. Since the other party could come again after the previous unpleasant encounter, it meant that it was definitely not a simple matter.
"Lu An is here." The Immortal Master looked at Jiang Que and said, "Sir, what do you have to say?"
When Jiang Que heard this, he looked at the Immortal Master, then at the Immortal Empress, and the Sacred Envoy. Then, he said, "Immortal Master, you've misunderstood. The last time I came, I said that I wanted to talk to Lu An alone, not in front of everyone."
As soon as he said this, everyone present frowned. Indeed, Jiang Que had said this the last time he came. However, there was no doubt that everyone present was closer to Lu An than the Kang Clan was to Lu An. What right did Jiang Que have to push them aside and talk to Lu An alone?
However, this was a normal request after all. As long as Lu An agreed, they couldn't do anything about it. The Immortal Master turned to look at Lu An and asked, "What do you think?"
When Lu An heard this, he looked at the Immortal Master, then at Jiang Que and said, "I'm afraid of death."
This was the first sentence that Lu An said to Jiang Que. No one would have thought that the first sentence would be these three words.
Jiang Que smiled and said, "Don't worry, you'll be fine. If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have come here so openly. Otherwise, if anything happened to you, the Fu Clan wouldn't let me off. Leave this place with me and talk alone. I'll personally send you back here and hand you over to everyone. "
"…"
The five of them looked at Jiang Que. Personally sending him back meant that Jiang Que wanted to distance himself from this. This meant that whatever happened to Lu An in the future would have nothing to do with him. Jiang Que's words were reasonable. If anything happened to Lu An, Fu Yu wouldn't let the Kang Clan off. However, the problem was that if Jiang Que really risked his life in exchange for Lu An's, and bet that the Fu Clan wouldn't really do anything to the Kang Clan, Lu An would still be in danger.
Both sides were very direct and didn't beat around the bush. However, even though Jiang Que said so, Lu An still shook his head and said, "I can't leave with you. No one here is an outsider. If you have something to say, you can say it here."
Hearing Lu An's words, the Divine Master, Divine Empress, and Divine Emissary were very pleased. Yao and Liu Yi were Lu An's wives, so they naturally had the right to listen. However, Lu An included the three of them, which meant that Lu An didn't have any selfish motives and trusted them.
Lu An couldn't possibly leave with Jiang Que just because of a few words. And Lu An's refusal to back down caused the problem to fall back onto Jiang Que's side. Everyone looked at Jiang Que. Lu An had made it clear that he wasn't going to leave, so they wanted to know what Jiang Que would do. Would he leave again, or would he directly explain things here?
However … Jiang Que's words were out of everyone's expectations.
"Just like the rumors, you're a very cautious person." Jiang Que wasn't angry or helpless because of Lu An's rejection. Instead, his smile grew wider and he said, "I know you don't trust me, and you don't trust the Kang Clan. However, to show my sincerity, we can go to a third party's territory and talk alone. How about it? "
A third party's territory?
"What do you mean?" Lu An asked.
"It's very simple." Jiang Que looked and said, "For example … we can go to the territory of the Divine Tree Liu Clan and find a room in the Liu Clan's territory to talk alone. With the Liu Clan's guarantee, you should believe that I won't do anything to you, right? "
