The Ten Thousand Desert?
Lu An, who was sitting at the side, felt quite startled. Following this, he saw Yuan stand up with a look of joy on his face as he said loudly, "Good! Good! I'll go see them! "
At that moment, Jun also stood up and smiled as she said, "They've successfully returned, so I should go and take a look as well."
After saying this, Jun looked at the three people who were still seated and said, "You three eat first. We don't know how long it'll take for us to return."
"No need, I'll go and take a look as well," Qing stood up and said, "Big brother is also with the group. I haven't seen big brother in a long time."
Yao also stood up and said anxiously, "I haven't seen big brother in a long time either. I'll go as well."
"Let's go together then." Jun smiled and said, "We can't leave Lu An here alone. Let's go take a look and have dinner together."
Lu An felt quite startled and stood up as he said, "Alright."
Very soon, under Yuan's lead, the group of people arrived at the meeting place in Sengoku, which was where Lu An had met Yuan for the first time. At that moment, there were 30 or so people standing in the open space outside the room. From their tattered clothes, it could be seen that they had not had a good time outside.
Not only that, but some people were clearly injured, and many of them looked quite tired. However, they still looked quite excited because they had finally returned to a place that they were familiar with.
This was a group that had been sent to the Ten Thousand Desert, and their goal was to destroy the Divergent Ability.
In the distant Ten Thousand Desert, there were several countries in the desert. These countries were originally at peace with each other. After all, everyone was in the desert, and it would be too dangerous for them to start a war.
However, a few years ago, a sect had suddenly sprung up in the Ten Thousand Desert and quickly spread to several countries, including the entire Ten Thousand Desert. The sect had developed very quickly, and in less than a year, there were more than a million members. Moreover, these people were all loyal to the sect and listened to everything they said.
After a few years of development, the number of people in the sect was unknown, and even many nobles and officials had become followers. Their sect leader's status in the Ten Thousand Desert was even higher than that of the Kings of the various countries.
However, this was a cult. The core members of the cult would use a special technique to bewitch people's minds and increase their own strength at the cost of other people's mental powers. This kind of heretic sect quickly spread to the ears of the immortal realm, and the immortal realm also directly sent a team to eradicate this heretic sect.
The leader of this team was a very important member of Sengoku. His name was Sheng, and he was of the same generation as Yuen. His strength in Sengoku was second only to Yuen. Other than Sheng, there were two other leaders of the younger generation. They were Yuan's eldest son, Chen, and Sheng's eldest son, Qi.
When Yuan saw Sheng, he was overjoyed. He hurried forward and the two hugged each other tightly. After they separated, Yuan immediately said, "Thank you for your hard work in the Myriad Desert!"
"Haha, it's a little tough!" Sheng Sheng laughed, shook his head, and said, "That Heresy is still manageable. The main problem is that the environment of the Infinite Desert is too harsh. That's why it took so long!"
"Yes, it's been two months. It's really been hard on all of you!" Yuan sighed again, expressing his gratitude.
Then, Sheng looked at Jun and said respectfully, "Sister-in-law."
"Mm." Jun smiled and said, "You've been out for so long. Come back and have a good rest."
"…"
Soon, everyone became familiar with each other. All the subordinates left, leaving only a few key people present to tell Yuan what had happened in the Infinite Desert.
Everyone listened carefully to Sheng's story. Only Lu An stood alone in the corner, feeling slightly awkward. However, he did not do anything and just stood there quietly, waiting for the end.
At this moment, Qi, who was talking to Yao, looked at Lu An. He had already noticed Lu An before. This person had never appeared in Sengoku before he left.
"Who is he?" Qi asked.
Yao followed Qi's gaze and looked over. When she saw Lu An, she smiled happily and said to Qi, "Let me introduce you!"
Then, Yao brought Qi to Lu An and said, "This is a friend I made outside. His name is Lu An. He's living in Sengoku now, and he's my mother's disciple! "
Then, Yao said to Lu An, "This is Qi. He's one of my older brothers."
Lu An looked at the resolute man in front of him and said with a fist salute, "Greetings, Brother Qi."
However, although Lu An greeted him, Qi did not respond. He furrowed his brows slightly and looked at Lu An with hostility in his eyes.
"Why would Sengoku let an outsider in?" Qi's voice was obviously low as he asked Yao, "Also, why would your mother accept an outsider as her disciple?"
"This …" Yao was stunned and said with a headache, "It's a long story …"
"Did you ask for it?" Qi frowned and asked again.
Yao looked up at Qi and asked, "How do you know?"
"Other than you, I can't think of any other possibility." Qi's voice was even lower as he said to Yao with a serious face, "You ran away from home because you were cheated by a man outside. Why are you so forgetful? Do you still trust an outsider?"
Yao's face froze when she heard that. Then, she became serious and said, "Lu An is different from others. He's saved my life a few times!"
"So what?" Qi asked, "Saving your life will earn your trust, and you'll be more defenseless. Saving your life and using you, there's no conflict between these two things! "
"That's not true …" Yao was even angrier when she heard that. Especially when it was said in front of Lu An, it made her even more embarrassed.
"Brother Qi's words make sense." At this moment, another clear voice sounded. The tall and handsome Chen walked over from the side and said to Yao, "I believe that mother did not take him in as a disciple simply for the sake of taking him in as a disciple. Instead, she wants to keep an eye on him and watch him carefully."
"Brother!" Yao was even angrier and more anxious when she heard her brother say the same thing. She quickly turned to look at Lu An, only to realize that Lu An's expression did not change at all. Instead, he looked at the crowd calmly as if he was watching a show that had nothing to do with him.
"You're Lu An?" Chen sized him up and said, "I'm Yao's brother, Chen."
"Brother Chen." Lu An cupped his fist and said.
"No matter what, I still have to thank you for sending my sister back." Chen smiled and said, "I heard that you're staying in Sengoku to learn divine arts. However, not everyone can learn divine arts."
"That's true." Lu An nodded and said.
"You can ask me if there's anything you don't understand when you're cultivating divine arts. Although my strength is still far from my mother's, it's more than enough to teach you. "Chen smiled and said.
"Alright." Lu An said.
After a while, Sheng, Qi, and the rest left one after another. Only Yuan, his family, and Lu An were left. Yuan said happily, "The family is finally together again. Come, let's go back and have a few drinks!"
Soon, everyone returned to the gazebo. Everyone took their seats. After three rounds of drinking, none of them were drunk at all.
After all, they were all experts. How could they be knocked out by a few glasses of wine?
During the process, Lu An drank a few glasses as well. Although he was not a member of the family and did not seem to fit in at the table, and the conversation did not even involve him, he still acted as usual. He smiled when he should and ate when he should.
The dinner only ended when it was very late at night. After Yuan and Jun left, there were only four young people left in the gazebo.
Qing and Yao were chatting. At this moment, Chen finally stood up and took the initiative to sit beside Lu An.
Lu An was slightly startled when he saw this. He looked at Chen and said, "Brother Chen."
"If I were you, I would leave Sengoku earlier." After Chen sat down, he said to Lu An in a soft voice.
Lu An was startled when he heard this. He was not angry. He nodded and said, "After I learn the Immortal Technique, I will leave immediately."
"It seems that you don't understand what I mean." Chen shook his head and said, "I can see that Yao is very close to you and she trusts you a lot. To a woman, this kind of relationship can easily develop into love. However, it is impossible for her to be with you. "
Lu An furrowed his brows. He looked at Chen and asked, "Why?"
"Because of her status." Chen did not evade the question. He smiled and said, "What is your strength? Level 1 Heavenly Master? Late Stage? With this kind of strength, you are like an ant in the Eight Ancient Continents. As for my sister, she is the princess of Sengoku. She is also the most talented person in Sengoku. Her future is limitless. It is not impossible for her to surpass my father. "
"Do you think you are worthy of her?" Chen's eyes were like torches. He looked into Lu An's eyes and asked.
