Heavenly Star River, Fu Clan's frontline headquarters.
Space rippled, and Lu An's figure appeared. After a few turns, Lu An appeared in Fu Yu's boudoir.
Sensing Lu An's arrival, Fu Yu quickly appeared in her boudoir. To Fu Yu, even if Lu An was not her husband, Lu An's status was very important. He was equivalent to a member of the Spirit Race who could be absolutely trusted and would never betray her. Even if she did not meet with Lu An, she would hand it over to Fu Yueni to manage.
Of course, because Lu An was her husband, she would be in charge.
"How is it?" Fu Yu asked.
Lu An looked at his wife and told her what had happened at the banquet. When Fu Yu heard Lu An say that the Jiang Clan was going to recruit talents from outside, there was an obvious change in her eyes.
There was no doubt that joining the Jiang Clan would be beneficial for gathering intelligence. However, when Lu An told her about his conflict with Jiang Xin, Fu Yu also realized that this matter had become complicated.
However … this complication might not be a bad thing. In other words, it might be a good thing.
Fu Yu still had important things to arrange and could not accompany Lu An for long. She said, "Husband, go back and tell Liu Yi to come up with an idea."
Lu An was slightly startled, but he could see that Fu Yu was busy. He could not disturb his wife's work, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
Fu Yu used Heavenly Water to remove Lu An's makeup and disappeared. Lu An did not stay for long. He changed his clothes and left immediately.

Immortal Planet, Tripartite Alliance Headquarters.
Space rippled, and Lu An appeared in the office. There were other people in the office. When they saw Lu An, they all bowed and greeted, "Alliance Leader."
Everyone was tactful and left because it was not too important. Only Lu An and Liu Yi were left. Lu An used his power to seal the entire office. This way, he could ensure that no Heaven Realm cultivators could penetrate the office with their perception. Even if they tried, Lu An would immediately discover them.
Of course, Heavenly King Realm cultivators were an exception. However, Lu An believed that the Immortal Master, Immortal Empress, and Sacred Emissary Yan Xing would not do such a thing. If the three of them really wanted to harm him, they would have had countless opportunities to kill him and the seven women.
After sealing the room, Lu An told Liu Yi everything that had happened today. He did his best to ensure that he did not miss anything, including the details he had observed during the banquet. Because Fu Yu was very busy, Lu An didn't have time to talk about it. There were some details that even Fu Yu didn't know.
From the banquet to leaving the Spirit Galaxy, Liu Yi listened to her husband's experience. She frowned and pondered seriously.
Seeing his wife like this, Lu An was a little worried. After a while, he could not help but ask, "Did I go overboard? Did I make the relationship with the Jiang Clan too tense?"
That was right. This was what worried him the most. If he maintained a fierce and cold personality and caused a conflict with Jiang Xin, it could very well lead to the failure of cooperation with the Chamber of Commerce. If that was really the case, it would be equivalent to the Fu Clan helping him get in touch with Jiang Mu and sending him to the Jiang Clan's Chamber of Commerce for nothing. All his previous efforts would be wasted.
Maintaining a fierce personality during practice and maintaining a fierce personality in real life were two completely different things. Lu An was very worried that he did not do a good job.
After hearing Lu An's question, Liu Yi looked at her husband, frowned, and said seriously, "My husband did a good job. You did not go overboard. If the people of the Jiang Clan were smart, this might not be a bad thing. It might be a good thing. "
"A good thing?" Lu An was clearly confused. He did not think that this could be a good thing. He asked, "What do you mean?"
"My husband offended Jiang Xin, but he might not offend the Jiang Clan." Liu Yi said seriously, "I also learned from the Ling Tribe. Although the Ling Tribe is much more open than us, it does not make sense for a father to be present and watch his daughter socialize with other men. In other words, either Jiang Ping is more open-minded, or … he did it on purpose."
"On purpose?" Lu An was stunned. He asked even more confusedly, "Why?"
"Don't we use our daughters to find a husband through jousting in the secular world?" Liu Yi said, "There are two purposes to the jousting for a husband. One is to find a good man for the daughter and a good son-in-law for the family. However, this is only the superficial reason. After all, how can a person's character be judged through a jousting? Many times, the jousting for a husband ends without a conclusion. "
"The real purpose of the jousting for a husband is to use one's daughter to recruit good men." Liu Yi said, "Even heroes have a weakness for the charms of beautiful women. There are too many people who would go through fire and water for a beautiful woman. Naturally, many people will participate in the jousting for a husband. In other words, the jousting for a husband is essentially an activity to gather experts. Although there are winners and losers in the jousting, the Chamber of Commerce can send out invitations to all the people they like and invite them to join their Chamber of Commerce. There is no other method more effective and direct than the jousting for a husband. I'm afraid that is Jiang Ping's purpose. "
"Since Jiang Xin is good-looking and extroverted, using his daughter's personality and interactions to make these men fantasize can greatly increase their chances of entering the Jiang Clan." Liu Yi said, "Why not do this kind of business that can earn a lot without paying a price?"
"…"
Lu An gasped. He had never thought that there were so many tricks involved in this matter. This had a huge impact on his Spiritual Sea because … he had never thought that someone would do such a thing.
Using one's daughter to recruit good men … Was he still worthy of being a father?
"I think that this is more likely." Liu Yi continued, "If this is really the case, I think Jiang Ping will be more willing to rope you in."
Upon hearing this, Lu An was filled with doubts again. He really could not figure out such a problem. He asked, "Why is that?"
"Because everyone wants someone they can trust," Jiang Ping said. "Given Jiang Xin's arrogant and despotic personality, she will definitely tell Jiang Ping that you bullied her. Jiang Ping will not be angry after hearing this. Instead, he will be interested in you. This is enough to show that you are not afraid of power or temptation. At the same time, you have a strong resistance to power and women. This shows that you have a strong sense of conviction and will not betray easily. You are more trustworthy. "
"…" Lu An was a little confused. He said doubtfully, "So … I might have done something good instead?"
"Of course." Liu Yi smiled and said, "Many times, you have to do things the opposite in order to achieve the effect you want. Take cultivation for example. People have to go through a lot of pain and suffering, and even go through the test of death, before they can break through and live longer. It is the same when you do things. You can only get closer to the Jiang Clan if your relationship with Jiang Xin is strained. Differentiation of symptoms and treatment, and unity of opposites, these are very important aspects of intelligence. "
Hearing his wife's words, Lu An's expression was already a little sluggish. After two breaths, he shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "I don't understand this kind of thing. What should I do next?"
"Do what you should do," Liu Yi said, "Do everything as usual. Go to the Chamber of Commerce when you need to, and look at missions when you need to. Occasionally, I will also take on one or two missions. After all, the Fu Clan will help you complete them, so it won't take up much of your time. If what I said is true, and Jiang Ping is using his daughter to recruit good men, I'm afraid that he will contact you soon. "
"However … before they take the initiative to rope you in, they might investigate your background." Liu Yi said, "This is a more troublesome matter. It will depend on whether the Fu Clan's identity arrangement is perfect."
Lu An frowned and asked, "What if they ask me?"
"Given my husband's personality, he probably won't say anything." Liu Yi said, "After all, you are not interested in joining the Jiang Clan. Moreover, Jiang Xin has offended you … unless the Jiang Clan offers you very good conditions, you cannot join."
Lu An was stunned and said, "I have to make the Jiang Clan beg me to join?"
"That's right," Liu Yi nodded lightly and said, "If you join so easily, Jiang Ping will be suspicious. You should do things according to your performance when you join. I can't think of the specifics, but as long as you promise that you will not deliberately make changes to join the Jiang Clan, the chances of you joining the Jiang Clan will be very high. The rewards and freedom will even be higher than others. "
Lu An took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I understand."
