As soon as he said that, the surrounding people gasped.
Wasn't his tone … a little too arrogant?
In an instant, the surrounding Zhang family members' faces darkened. Not only did this young man have no intention of apologizing, but he even threatened them. Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense. Many people wanted to attack Lu An.
However, Lu An turned a blind eye to these people's attitudes. He only looked at Zhang Rui indifferently, waiting for her answer.
He didn't want to get into trouble, but if he couldn't get rid of the trouble, it wasn't like he couldn't do anything. Even if he killed all these people, he could just leave Hu Tiecheng quickly.
"Let him go!" Zhang Rui suddenly said.
"What?!" The surrounding people were stunned and looked at Zhang Rui in astonishment.
"I said, let him go!" Zhang Rui frowned and immediately shouted, "No one is allowed to find trouble with him. Otherwise, get out of the Zhang family!"
As soon as she said that, the surrounding people's faces changed dramatically. Zhang Rui was the eldest daughter of the Zhang family. Her status was second only to the patriarch. Since she said that, she would definitely do it!
Hearing Zhang Rui's words, the surrounding people didn't dare to make a sound. Lu An's expression finally eased a little. He turned around and prepared to leave.
"Young hero!" Zhang Rui suddenly called out to Lu An and said, "I wonder if you could give me face and come to the residence for a cup of tea?"
Lu An looked at Zhang Rui and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your kindness, but there's no need."
After that, Lu An strode away with Zhang Rui and Zhang Rui and soon disappeared into the crowd.
Zhang Rui's gaze was fixed on the two of them. She didn't move until they had completely disappeared. The surrounding people were in a mess. At this moment, someone finally came to Zhang Rui's side and asked softly, "Eldest Miss, today's contest for marriage …"
"What else?" Zhang Rui frowned and said coldly, "If you can find someone who can defeat that young man, I'll agree immediately!"
"…"
Soon, the Zhang family members returned to the residence one after another. The contest for marriage was left unsettled. Because of this farce, many people didn't have the opportunity to watch. However, they were still very interested in the young man who could defeat Zhang Rui.

In the evening, Lu An And Yao came to a restaurant for dinner.
They didn't leave because Lu An could tell that Zhang Rui really didn't want to cause trouble for him. Since he had promised Yao Yao that he would stay here for a night, Lu An would not easily change his mind.
However, Hu Tiecheng's restaurant was probably similar to the local customs here. It was a little rough. This dish was very careless, and the taste was only passable. But no matter what, it was better than dry food.
The two of them sat in a corner on the second floor, eating slowly. In the afternoon, Lu Anyou brought Yao to stroll around the city and bought a lot of jewelry and strange gadgets.
Yao seemed to have never strolled around a city before. Even though it was clearly a very simple walk, she still felt very happy. Could it be that these things did not exist in a place like Sengoku?
Lu An was very curious about Sengoku. He couldn't imagine what kind of place it was.
Just as Lu An was thinking, footsteps came from the other side of the stairs. Soon, a woman in men's clothes appeared.
Zhang Rui looked around, found Lu An sitting in the corner, and walked over.
"Looking for you guys is really simple."
The voice suddenly sounded, pulling Lu An back to reality. He turned to look at Zhang Rui standing beside the table, frowning slightly.
"What are you doing here?" Lu An looked at the condescending Zhang Rui and asked.
"To drink with you." Zhang Rui didn't treat him as an outsider at all. She directly sat down and said to Lu An, "If you didn't agree in the afternoon, I would have come to find you personally."
Lu An heard this and frowned, asking, "What do you want?"
Zhang Rui heard this and frowned slightly.
To be honest, even she didn't know what she wanted to do. For the whole afternoon, although the house was in a mess, she locked herself in the house. She kept thinking about the battle that happened today, thinking about why she lost.
Although it was only a short fight, she believed that she was absolutely not careless. When she attacked, she put the boy on the same level as her and was extremely cautious.
However, she still lost, and she lost very happily.
So, she sent people to look for Lu An in Hu Tiecheng. Soon, someone told her that the boy was eating here, and she immediately came over.
"You're so young, how are you so strong? Who's your master?" Zhang Rui asked.
"I don't have a master." Lu An said lightly, "My strength is not as strong as you think. Is there anything else?"
"…"
Hearing the boy's tone of wanting to drive her away, if it was any other time, Zhang Rui would have already attacked him in anger. But now, she was just restraining herself.
"Oh right, I heard a piece of news this afternoon." Zhang Rui suddenly said, "Someone rushed over, saying that the red fog in the mountains disappeared, and there were many corpses of strange beasts. But, do you know where those corpses are?"
Hearing Zhang Rui's words, Lu An didn't change at all. He didn't even reply, but looked at Yao and said, "Hurry up and eat, then leave."
"Oh." Yao nodded, looking at Zhang Rui with some heartache. No matter what, Zhang Rui was still a woman, and she was also very beautiful.
"In ice." Zhang Rui frowned and said, "And it's very cold ice. It's said that the shape of the ice is like a wave, and many strange beasts and Heavenly Masters were frozen inside. "
While speaking, Zhang Rui kept staring at Lu An's expression. She found that this boy was not moved at all, making it impossible for others to guess his thoughts.
"There are traces of fighting in the forest. It's said that the area of the ruins was the work of a Level 3 Heavenly Master." Zhang Rui continued, and even moved closer to Lu An and asked, "Do you know who it was?"
Finally, Lu An put down his chopsticks, turned his head to look at Zhang Rui, who was close to him, slightly frowned and said, "Men and women shouldn't touch each other. You're too close to me."
"…"
Zhang Li was startled. This was the first time someone said such words to her, and it was also the first time someone disliked her. Frowning, she could only put some distance between them.
"How would I know something that you, as a local, don't know?" Lu An put down his chopsticks, looked at Zhang Rui and said faintly, "I said that I'm just a passerby. You don't have to waste your time on me."
After saying that, Lu An took out some money and put it on the table, ready to get up and leave. At this moment, Zhang Rui spoke again!
"How about we make a deal?" Zhang Rui suddenly said!
Lu An, who was about to get up, was startled. He turned to look at Zhang Rui, frowned and asked, "What deal?"
"Our Zhang family does two kinds of business. One is hunting strange beasts, and the other is an escort agency." Seeing that Lu An was finally willing to listen to her, Zhang Rui immediately said, "I'm guessing that you're heading north. It just so happens that I have a very big escort to escort. They'll send it here tomorrow morning, and our Zhang family will escort it all the way to the capital. This is very important, so I'd like to ask for your help. "
Escort?
"Not interested." Lu An refused directly. He did not want to cause any trouble for himself.
"Don't be in such a hurry to refuse." Hearing this, Zhang Rui suddenly became anxious and quickly said, "You're not the only one sending it. Our Zhang family will escort it. Inviting you is to ensure that nothing goes wrong. Besides, you haven't heard my reward yet. Why are you refusing so quickly? "
Hearing this, Lu An looked at Zhang Rui again and asked, "What reward?"
Zhang Rui looked at Lu An's indifferent look, and her heart was in a mess. In fact, her family had been preparing for this for a long time. Suddenly inviting Lu An to join her was just a spur of the moment. As for the reward, she had not thought about it at all.
However, looking at Lu An's appearance, if she did not take out something good, he would probably leave on the spot. Zhang Rui took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and said as if she was putting in a lot of effort, "A second-grade heaven technique, how about it?"
However, she thought that this young man would be moved. Instead, she found that the young man stood up and said expressionlessly, "Not interested."
With that, the young man prepared to leave with the woman.
Seeing this, Zhang Rui was shocked. She quickly stood up and looked at Lu An. Looking at Lu An's back, she was anxious and casually said, "A second-grade pill recipe!"
This time, Lu An finally stopped.
