The next day, the news of what happened to the Gao Residence spread throughout Nanhai City.
Gao Yi died on the bed and there were no clues about the murderer. On the other side of the city, Lu An and the two girls stood in front of the Liu Residence to bid farewell.
However, Lu An did not bring Xiao Tong with him. Instead, he left Xiao Tong in the Liu Residence. Xiao Tong was from Nanhai City and was not familiar with other places. Liu Hongchang promised to protect Xiao Tong and left her with a large sum of money. This money was enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life.
In fact, Xiao Tong wanted to accompany Lu An to escort Yao home. Unfortunately, Lu An rejected her. All this while, Lu An had been in constant trouble, let alone this time when he was escorting Yao home. The journey was too long and there would be a lot of trouble. He was afraid that he could not take care of both of them.
Standing at the entrance of the Liu Mansion, the servants of the Liu Mansion brought out two high-quality horses and waited outside. Lu An And Yao stood at the door and bid farewell to the Liu Residence.
"If you have the chance to come to Nanhai City in the future, you must come to my place first." Liu Xingwang laughed and said, "Time is tight this time. I will treat you well next time!"
"Yes, Senior." Lu An smiled and replied.
"Brother Lu, I hope that when I return to Mount Dacheng, you will return as well!" Liu Hongchang looked at Lu An and sighed. "I know that you are different from ordinary disciples like us. However, the reputation of our Blue Water Peak needs someone to revitalize it. Don't you think so? And that small mountain of ours, without you, everyone's interest in cultivation will be greatly reduced! "
Lu An smiled and nodded. "After I settle my matters, I will return to Mount Dacheng. If you go back first, please tell Master that I will definitely go back. "
"Sure!" Liu Hongchang nodded and said, "See you on Mount Dacheng!"
"See you on Mount Dacheng!" Lu An said.
At this moment, Xiao Tong finally walked forward. Her eyes were red and even a little swollen. It was obvious that she had secretly cried the entire night.
"Young Master." Xiao Tong's voice was choked with sobs. She tried her best not to cry and said, "Young Master saved me and treated me so well. Xiao Tong will always be Young Master's maid …"
"If you really think that I'm good to you, then be my friend." Lu An smiled and said softly.
He saw Xiao Tong take out a small package from behind her. Her eyes were red as she said, "This is the pair of shoes that I made last night. I don't have anything to give you as a gift, only this …"
Lu An was startled. Looking at the package in Xiaotong's hands, his heart skipped a beat.
He reached out to take the package and opened it to look at the shoes inside. The shoes were exquisitely made, and there was not the slightest bit of deviation in the stitching. It was hard to believe that such good craftsmanship was done overnight.
It was no wonder that the lights in Xiaotong's room were still lit when he left so late last night.
Looking at the shoes in his hand, Lu An felt that this gift was heavier than anything else. He kept the package into his ring and looked at Xiao Tong as he said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely come back to see you."
Hearing this, Xiao Tong finally smiled happily. Her eyes were also drowned in tears as she nodded her head vigorously.
Lu An smiled and looked at everyone in front of him again. He cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, I'll take my leave now."
"Alright, we'll meet again someday!" Everyone said in unison.
Lu An smiled and nodded. He then went to the front of the horse and leaped onto it. Yao did the same. After the two of them bid farewell to the people of the Liu Residence, they rode their horses and left.

Three days later.
In the forest, on the road, there were two horses running. There was a man and a woman sitting on them. Both of them were dressed very plainly. Furthermore, the woman was wearing a veil hat with a veil covering her face.
These two people were none other than Lu An And Yao.
After three consecutive days of traveling, the two of them had already left Nanhai City and were heading inland. Along the way, the two of them had already passed by several villages. Lu An's ring had stored enough food. Even if the two of them could not find a village, they would definitely not starve to death.
Lu An had once asked Yao where Sengoku was. Unfortunately, Yao could not tell him clearly. She could not even confirm the location of Sengoku. She only knew that it was very far away from her. The reason why she could lead Lu An back to Sengoku was because she had a sense of Sengoku.
This type of perception would guide her back to where the Immortal Domain was.
Lu An felt that this sense that could be separated by hundreds of thousands or even millions of miles was extremely mysterious. However, he still chose to believe in Yao. He had already seen too many mysterious things by now. Hence, if he were to encounter it again, he would not be surprised.
Lu An looked at Yao. Her aura was indeed concealed by the clothes on the ship. Although he could still feel her outstanding aura if he were to carefully sense it, including her words and actions, it was still much less troublesome.
"Oh, right." Lu An suddenly thought of something and asked, "How long did it take you to leave your home and come to Nanhai City?"
While riding on the horse, Yao pondered seriously and said, "Two months."
Three months?
Lu An frowned slightly. If that was the case, he was afraid that he would have to leave Tiancheng Country!
After thinking about it, Lu An asked again, "You once said that Sengoku does not allow outsiders to be brought back. It is also very secretive. However, if I send you back, I will know the location of Sengoku. Is that okay? "
"It's okay," Yao smiled and said, "I will be safe once I reach Sengoku's territory. I can go back by myself. Moreover, even if I know where Sengoku is, outsiders will not be able to enter. "
Lu An was startled and then nodded. In any case, Sengoku was indeed very strange.
After walking for a while, Lu An looked up at the sky. It was already spring, so it was not that cold anymore. The sun in the sky was also very warm. It was now close to noon. If they still could not find a city or village after walking for a while, then they would have to rest for a while and eat some simple dry food.
The two of them moved forward in the mountain forest. After nearly an hour, Lu An, who had decided to rest on the spot, suddenly found a small village in front of him after reaching the top of the mountain.
Looking at the people coming and going in the village, Lu An knew that spring was the busiest time for farmers. After thinking about it, Lu An said to Yao, "Let's go there and find a restaurant to eat."
"Okay," Yao said.
The two of them went down the mountain. The village was not far from the two of them, so they soon arrived at the village. There were about a few hundred families in the village. It was not a small village. Moreover, there were also markets and shops in the village.
The two of them entered the village and soon found a small restaurant. The two of them found a table in the corner and sat down. Soon, a waiter came to them.
"A few side dishes and two bowls of rice," Lu An said.
"Okay!" The waiter shouted, "I will prepare it for you now!"
After saying that, the waiter jogged away. Lu An And Yao sat on an outdoor table and looked at the people coming and going. This kind of simple folkway made people feel very comfortable.
Because it was noon, there were other customers who came to the restaurant to eat. Soon, the table was half filled. Lu An And Yao ate the delicious dishes, and from time to time, he could hear the conversation coming from the table beside him.
"I say, have you heard about the matter in the northeast of our village?" One of the men who was eating loudly asked his companion.
"What matter? Why don't I know about it? "When that person heard it, he curiously asked.
"You actually don't know about such a big matter?" That man wiped his mouth and said, "Something seemed to have appeared in the mountains in the northeast of our village. It attracted a lot of strange beasts! The farmers in that village were miserable. Their crops were all destroyed! Later on, many Heavenly Masters also rushed over. It seems like there's something incredible! "
"There's such a thing?" Another person said in surprise, "Then what's the situation now?"
"Who knows?" The man shook his head and said, "That place is filled with strange beasts and Heavenly Masters. It's not a place where ordinary people like us can go. Who would dare to go? Don't tell me they don't want to live anymore? "
"That's true …."
At the side, Lu An carefully listened to the conversation between the two men. This conversation had successfully attracted his attention. What kind of thing could attract strange beasts and Heavenly Masters at the same time? This made him very curious.
However, after Lu An pondered, he decided not to get involved. Right now, the things he had on him were enough for him to learn. No matter which one it was, they were all shocking things. He still understood the principle of biting off more than he could chew.
However, at this moment, Yao who was opposite him gently closed her eyes, which attracted Lu An's attention. A moment later, Yao gently opened her eyes. There was actually a trace of curiosity in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" Lu An asked.
"I feel a trace of a strange aura." Yao raised her head and looked at Lu An and said, "The thing they are talking about should not be simple. Perhaps we can go and take a look."
