Spirit Star River, Ning Clan's Royal City.
At this moment, Jiang Xiao and Lu An were both in a palace, but only the two of them were there. Ning Ji was not there. About half an hour ago, Ning Ji had left and had not returned since. There were no maids in the palace, but this was the Ning Clan's Royal City after all. Jiang Xiao could not use her power to seal the palace.
Although the two of them were not sitting close to each other, they were not far away either. Therefore, even if the two of them used Divine Sense to communicate, they would not be discovered by others.
Lu An naturally had nothing to say to Jiang Xiao. He did not even think about Jiang Xiao. Instead, he had been thinking about the Extinction Star Stream. He did not know how the Extinction Star Stream had developed, but from his wife, he knew that it was the Hachiko clan's intention. Moreover, the Hachiko clan's Heavenly King Realm experts were ready to fight. Although a Heavenly King Realm battle was not something he could consider, he could not help but think and worry.
On the side, Jiang Xiao occasionally glanced at Lu An from the corner of her eyes to check on Lu An's condition. Later, she looked at Lu An openly. From the beginning to the end, Lu An did not even look at her. Jiang Xiao could see that Lu An was deep in thought, but she only thought that he was thinking about the clues of his enemy. However, she was very dissatisfied with Lu An's attitude. Even if she had been hurt twice by Lu An's straightforwardness and was even disappointed in Lu An, people were like this. When something they could not get was placed in front of them, whether it was because of unwillingness or other feelings, they would not give up easily. There would always be a trace of fantasy in their hearts.
At this moment, Jiang Xiao was like this.
Finally, Jiang Xiao could not help but ask Lu An through Divine Sense, "What are you thinking about?"
Suddenly, the voice appeared in his Spiritual Sea, startling Lu An. He withdrew from his thoughts, took a light breath, and turned to look at Jiang Xiao.
"Nothing." Lu An also sent a Divine Sense message, but did not answer.
"Have you found any clues about your enemy?" Jiang Xiao asked again.
"No," Lu An said concisely, as if he was a man of few words.
Looking at Lu An's simple answer, as if saying a few more words was tiring, Jiang Xiao should be angry. However, after experiencing so many things until now, Jiang Xiao was already used to Lu An's attitude. She could comfort herself and not be angry because of Lu An's attitude. She could even continue to talk to Lu An without feeling uncomfortable because she kept taking the initiative.
At this time, even Jiang Xiao did not notice that she had already begun to compromise with Lu An. She was no longer pretending to lower herself to seduce him. Instead, she was truly lowering herself. It was even equivalent to surrendering to Lu An.
"What are you thinking about when you don't have any clues?" Jiang Xiao said, "I see that your heart is always filled with hatred. You're always thinking, and you don't have time to relax. Isn't it tiring to live like this?"
Lu An was stunned when he heard this and looked at Jiang Xiao with some astonishment. He really did not have time to rest and relax, unless he was with his wife. However, this was not because of hatred, but because Jiang Xiao thought so.
"It's tiring." Lu An said, "But I have to do it."
Lu An's words were half of what was in his heart.
He was not a martial arts fanatic. Although he did not reject cultivation and was willing to work hard, it was indeed tiring to think about cultivation all the time like now. However, he would not feel any pain because he knew that being tired was meaningful. He had chosen to be tired, and no one had forced him.
For his family, for the war, and for the things that had not been completed, he could not stop.
"I don't understand." Jiang Xiao shook her head and said, "A person only has one chance to live in a lifetime. Why not make yourself happier and do whatever you want?"
"Eldest Miss, have you ever thought that the reason you can choose to be happy and do whatever you want is because of other people's efforts?" Lu An said, "If there were no people who risked their lives on the battlefield, the Spirit Star River would have been in ruins. How could you be stable? Using other people's efforts while saying that you can do whatever you want, isn't it too selfish? "
"…"
Jiang Xiao looked at Lu An in astonishment. She did not expect Lu An to say such words. In fact … this was the first time she had heard such a voice. No one had ever said it to her before, and she had never thought of it herself. Because of this, when Lu An said these words to her, she was stunned on the spot.
Seeing Jiang Xiao in a daze, Lu An's heart was very calm.
In fact, he should feel sad, or even angry, because this reason was not difficult. In fact, it was very simple, but Jiang Xiao did not understand it at all. The fundamental reason was that Jiang Xiao had lived a very good life since she was young, and there were no difficulties. Her life had always been free of sacrifice, and people who had never experienced hardship would not understand the nature of this world.
Of course, if one could live a life of superiority, it was not important whether they understood these principles or not. However, if they suddenly became difficult midway, it would cause a collapse of these people's faith and consciousness. As for why Lu An was not angry … it was because he had seen too many such people since he was young. He was already used to it, so there was nothing to be angry about.
Lu An knew that such people would never become pillars of society, let alone leaders of a faction or country. Even if they did become leaders, their factions and countries would not be far from being destroyed.
In fact, Lu An did not want to say these words to Jiang Xiao. Because letting a Spirit Race person understand the meaning of life meant creating an enemy for the Heavenly Star River. Lu An had said this because he knew that a leopard could not change its spots. Just a few words would not change her. If changing a person was so easy, teaching and educating people would not be so troublesome, and there would not be any evil people in the world.
Jiang Xiao's expression changed from being in a daze to being silent. After a long period of silence, she looked at Lu An once more and sent a voice transmission through her divine sense. "Actually, I've given up a lot as well. Marrying Ning Ji was the greatest gift I've given up."
Lu An, who was already thinking about other things, looked at Jiang Xiao in surprise.
"You don't like Ning Ji?" Lu An asked.
"It's not that I don't like him," Jiang Xiao said. "I admit that he is very good. His looks are good, his personality is good, and he loves me a lot. Of course, his background is much better than mine. I have no burden when I am with him, and he does not give me pressure. You can say that he is full of good points. But even so, this is not the life I want. "
"I can see that he loves me, but I don't have such feelings for him. If his feelings for me are love, then I don't love him, "Jiang Xiao said." I don't love him, but I married him. Why do you think I did that? "
Lu An frowned and said, "For the Jiang Clan?"
"Otherwise?" Jiang Xiao asked.
"I thought you did it for yourself." Lu An did not hide his thoughts and said, "After all, marrying a man with power and influence is also good for you."
"Good?" Jiang Xiao smiled faintly and said, "I admit that the Ning Clan is very strong and cannot be compared to the Jiang Clan. But to me, the Jiang Clan's wealth is enough. If I marry into the Ning Clan, I will have to follow the Ning Clan's rules everywhere, but I can do whatever I want in the Jiang Clan. Which do you think I will choose between the two? "
"The latter," Lu An said.
"Yes," Jiang Xiao said. "I would rather do what I want in the Jiang Clan. I can contact and even seduce any man I like. Isn't this kind of unrestrained life much more comfortable than in this palace? "
Lu An nodded slightly and said, "That's true."
"When my identity was just the eldest daughter of the Jiang Clan, I admit that I was very happy and blessed," Jiang Xiao said. "But sitting here now, would you believe me if I said that I envy you even more? If possible, I would rather leave with you now and not stay here for a moment longer. "
"…"
Lu An frowned slightly. This time, he did not dare to answer Jiang Xiao's words.
At this moment, an aura suddenly came from outside. Lu An immediately relaxed his brows and turned to look at the palace door.
The palace door was not closed, and a figure quickly flew in from outside and entered the palace.
It was none other than Ning Ji.
Ning Ji had just flown in from outside, and Jiang Xiao and Lu An were communicating through Divine Sense. Naturally, he could not hear what the two were talking about. He could not even discover that the two were talking. He only thought that the two had been sitting quietly in the palace. Ning Ji was travel-worn and his voice was very fast. It was obvious that he had something to say.
Ning Ji quickly stood in front of Lu An and quickly said, "Brother Chu, there is one more thing I need your help with!"
