Lu An did not leave immediately. Instead, he stayed with Wan 'er for a while before leaving. He had promised Wan 'er that he would come every once in a while. It had been a long time since they last met. In fact, he had only come a few times. Wan 'er had never pursued him, which made him feel a little guilty.
After leaving Wan 'er's place, Lu An returned to Liu Yi's office. He told Liu Yi about Wan' er's matter, including the Immortal Empress' speculation about Wan 'er's bloodline. Liu Yi was also very shocked. Like everyone else, she had always thought that Wan 'er had a strange illness, which caused the Dragons to distance themselves from her. She never thought that there would be such a possibility.
Fortunately, Liu Yi had taken good care of Wan 'er in the past. The seven women of the Lu clan would also visit her. Otherwise, it would be too deliberate and too snobbish to care about her now.
After explaining, Lu An cultivated again. However, this time, Lu An did not cultivate for long. He went into seclusion for three days before coming out. This was because he did not gain anything in these three days. According to the previous method, he could not trigger any changes no matter what. He had reached the limit of what he could do now. It seemed that he still needed some kind of opportunity to comprehend more.
Three days later, Lu An returned to the headquarters of the Tripartite Alliance. After meeting the seven women, he went to the Spirit Galaxy again. To him, the mission of the Spirit Galaxy was as important as cultivation. Since he had encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation, he would spend more time on missions.

On a star in the Spirit Galaxy.
This was not Jiang Star, not Jiang Shou Star, not Jiang Zheng Star. It was an uninhabited star. However, Lu An had the teleportation array here, and it was not provided by Fu Yu. This was because this was where Wang Wei lived. Wang Wei had once brought him here and asked him to leave a Teleportation Formation here so that if he couldn't find her or if there was something that he couldn't say in public, he could come here and wait for her.
There was only one building on the surface of the star. At this moment, Lu An stood outside the building and waited. He did not enter without permission.
Wang Wei didn't come back here often because she spent most of her time on missions. Even if she was resting, she would stay in Jiang Zheng Star's palace. She would only come here occasionally. However, with Lu An's current status, it was impossible for him to rashly enter Jiangzhen Planet. Otherwise, if Jiang Ping were to discover his arrival, he would definitely think that Jiang Xiao wanted to do something, which would have a huge impact. Lu An wanted to secretly bribe Wang Wei. Naturally, he could not let Jiang Ping know.
Fortunately, Lu An only waited here for two days before Wang Wei returned.
A teleportation array lit up on the dim star. When Wang Wei appeared and saw Lu An standing at the door waiting for her, she was stunned!
Wang Wei looked at Lu An in shock, not expecting to see this person. She instinctively asked, "Why are you here?"
Just as she asked this question, Wang Wei's body suddenly trembled … because she immediately thought of the fact that Chu Xing had already sacrificed his consciousness to Eldest Miss!
This news had already spread in the Jiang Clan. Of course, not everyone knew about it because Chu Xing was not an important person. However, Wang Wei had always been inquiring about Chu Xing, wanting to know if Chu Xing would come back. Since the last hurried separation, Wang Wei's heart couldn't let go of Lu An. It was as if there was suddenly one less person to quarrel with, and it suddenly became very quiet. Everything was very boring.
Although Wang Wei didn't know where this mentality came from, she did inquire about Chu Xing's situation. So when she heard this news two days ago, she was stunned.
To be honest, she felt very sorry for Chu Xing, and even pain. She was very sad. She really didn't expect that Chu Xing would actually sacrifice his consciousness to Eldest Miss. From now on, Chu Xing would no longer be himself. Although sacrificing one's consciousness wouldn't change one's original character, he had to accept Eldest Miss's orders. This meant that Chu Xing was no longer a completely free and uncontrollable person. He had become an extension of Eldest Miss's will.
The gap between them made her heart ache.
These two days, she had been thinking about this matter. Just now, she was still thinking about it. Because of this, she didn't rest well. She didn't expect to see Chu Xing in front of her house through the transportation array.
Seeing Chu Xing, she was both happy and sad.
"I have something to talk to you about." Chu Xing spoke, but his tone was much more natural than before. It was not as cold as before, and his tone sounded much more comfortable.
However, this comfort made Wang Wei feel a deep sense of distance. It made her feel that the man in front of her was no longer the Chu Xing of before.
He had changed.
Chu Xing had really changed.
Hearing Chu Xing's words, Wang Wei felt even more sad. However, this was after all a tyrannical sacrifice of consciousness. No matter what she said or did, it was futile. It couldn't make Chu Xing return to how he was before. No matter how much she said, it couldn't compare to a single sentence from Eldest Miss.
"Sigh …" Wang Wei sighed from the bottom of her heart. She said, "Let's go in and talk."
Wang Wei walked past Lu An and pushed the door open. The two entered together. It was dark outside, and even darker inside. Wang Wei poured death energy into the gemstone on the wall. The gemstone immediately emitted light, illuminating the room.
Wang Wei sat down. Lu An also sat down. Wang Wei looked at Lu An. Her heart couldn't help it. She knew she shouldn't ask, but she still asked, "You … why did you sacrifice your consciousness to Eldest Miss?"
Hearing Wang Wei's question, Lu An was also a little surprised. He could see that Wang Wei was truly concerned about him, and felt sorry for him. The more it was like this, the more apologetic he felt for using Wang Wei.
However … he had already decided to do this. He could only choose to blame himself.
"I …" Lu An looked at Wang Wei and said calmly, "I didn't want to die. So I sacrificed my consciousness to Eldest Miss."
"…"
Hearing Chu Xing's answer, Wang Wei was startled. Then she laughed bitterly and said, "I always thought you weren't afraid of death."
"No one is not afraid of death." Lu An said.
Wang Wei was very sad and disappointed. She asked weakly, "Speak, why are you looking for me?"
"Eldest Miss wants to cooperate with you." Lu An didn't beat around the bush. He said directly, "Eldest Miss wants to know all the information you collected from the missions you did for Fourth Young Master. Eldest Miss won't treat you badly. Eldest Miss will give you double the rewards and rewards that Fourth Young Master gave you. "
"That is to say, if you do one thing, you can get three rewards." Lu An said, "Moreover, only you, Eldest Miss and I know about this. No one else will find out. It's very safe. Even if Fourth Young Master finds out, Eldest Miss will protect you. You also know the relationship between Eldest Miss and Fourth Young Master. Eldest Miss will definitely protect you. When the time comes, you will directly work under Eldest Miss. There is no risk to you at all. "
Hearing Chu Xing's words, Wang Wei was a little dazed. She didn't expect it to be for this matter. Wang Wei was a very loyal and loyal person. She did work for Fourth Young Master for the rewards. However, she didn't only want the rewards. She didn't want to betray Fourth Young Master. She took a deep breath and asked, "Can I refuse?"
"…" Lu An didn't answer immediately. Instead, he said after two breaths, "After the banquet, Eldest Miss came to me to talk about this matter. You saw the result of me. I don't want you to become like me. Moreover, there is indeed no risk in this matter. There is no betrayal of the Jiang Clan. There are only benefits for you. "
Hearing Chu Xing's words, Wang Wei's heart shook.
Chu Xing's words had touched her. Indeed, Chu Xing was the result of not agreeing to cooperate.
Eldest Miss's methods weren't something that Fourth Young Master could compare to. Even if Fourth Young Master knew that Eldest Miss made a move, he wouldn't be able to do anything. In other words, if Eldest Miss really wanted to make a move on her, Fourth Young Master would keep the peace just like now. He wouldn't denounce Eldest Miss. After all, she was just an outsider. She wasn't really one of them.
If she didn't want to betray them, there was only one path. That was to completely leave the Jiang Clan.
However, Wang Wei had already worked under Jiang Ping for so many years. She had also interacted with people from other first-rate clans. If she left like this, the other clans might not take her in. She would completely lose her source of benefits. Wang Wei still cared about benefits. More importantly, Fourth Young Master's tacit approval of Chu Xing's matter had already hurt many people's hearts.
Forget it.
If Fourth Young Master didn't protect them, why should they persevere for Fourth Young Master?
Wang Wei didn't struggle too much. She said, "Alright, I will cooperate with Eldest Miss."
