Under the bloody light, the two figures looked very small. They were less than three feet away from each other as they looked at each other.
Hearing Jiang Xiao's words, Lu An was slightly startled at first. Then, he smiled and said, "Then what is my purpose?"
"This is the question I want you to answer," Jiang Xiao said. "Although I'm not very smart, I'm not stupid either. You said that your purpose is only revenge. Before you succeed in your revenge, you won't take any risks, let alone participate in a war. But this time, you're participating in a war, which is inconsistent with what you said before. "
Lu An's smile widened and he said, "I never said that I didn't want to take risks. I just judged whether the risks and benefits were worth it. If I didn't take the risk, why would I help you when you were threatened by Pei Pei and even kill her? "
"As for the war you mentioned, I did say that I wouldn't participate in it before I completed my revenge. But the purpose of this operation is not for war, but to gain Ning Ji's trust. I believe this is not difficult to understand." Lu An said, "Otherwise, according to what you said, isn't my real purpose for war?"
"No." Jiang Xiao shook her head directly. She did not hesitate because of Lu An's explanation and said, "This is different. Although I can't tell the specific reason, my intuition tells me that you don't want revenge. And … I'm enough for revenge. There's no need to participate in a war. "
"…"
Lu An looked at Jiang Xiao and shrugged indifferently. Obviously, he did not want to argue with Jiang Xiao about this matter and did not speak again. But in fact, Lu An was very shocked.
Lu An had always been very cautious. Every time before he spoke or acted, he would think over and over again. After every action, he would think about whether there were any flaws. He thought that he did not do anything wrong, but he did not expect Jiang Xiao to have such thoughts.
Was this a woman's intuition?
Lu An's heart was very heavy because Fu Yueni once told him that as an intelligence officer, the most afraid thing was being suspected. Suspicion did not require evidence, and once suspected, it was almost impossible to eliminate. After being suspected, the suspicious person would keep staring at the intelligence officer, looking for problems, making it difficult for the intelligence officer. Generally speaking, once an intelligence agent was suspected, they would immediately stop their mission. Stopping the mission didn't mean giving up on the mission, leaving the target and disappearing. Doing so would only confirm that there was a problem with their identity. Instead, it meant that they had to do nothing for a certain period of time.
But … Lu An didn't have the time. He had already wasted a lot of cultivation time coming here to carry out the mission. Even if he had been meditating and cultivating here, the effect would definitely not be as good as cultivating wholeheartedly. Therefore, he had to be quick and find the clues of 90,000 years of history as soon as possible. They couldn't stop the mission, and they couldn't leave.
"What exactly do you want?" Seeing that Lu An did not speak, Jiang Xiao did not give up and asked, "Just tell me what you want. I will help you if I can."
"You're already helping me," Lu An said lightly, "Are you naturally paranoid, or are all women like you?"
Lu An's words surprised Jiang Xiao. Her beautiful eyes were filled with astonishment.
"I don't know what you're thinking, or is this another new trick you've come up with?" Lu An had a headache. He raised his hand to rub his head and said, "What are you trying to do? If you don't want to help me, just tell me. "
"… …"
Hearing Lu An's words, Jiang Xiao didn't know what to do for a while, because it was just her intuition. She didn't have any evidence, and just based on this intuition, she couldn't completely convince herself that Lu An had other purposes. What's more, Jiang Xiao had a very good impression of Lu An in her heart. She didn't want to make Lu An angry, so she asked Lu An about his real purpose. Firstly, it was out of curiosity. Secondly, it was to help Lu An better. But if asking this would make Lu An angry, she would not ask again.
Seeing that Jiang Xiao did not speak again, Lu An took the initiative and said, "I have to leave for a while."
Jiang Xiao was surprised on hearing those words and immediately asked, "Why?"
Jiang Xiao thought that her words had angered Lu An, and her eyes showed obvious panic.
"It's nothing. I've been by your side for too long. I have my own things to deal with." Lu An said.
Hearing Lu An's explanation, Jiang Xiao felt a little relieved, but she still asked worriedly, "When will you come back?"
"I don't know." Lu An said, "At least a few days, at most a month."
"So long?" Jiang Xiao was shocked and quickly said, "You'll be away for so long, and I can't help you lie. I don't have anything for you to do for such a long time. Moreover, I will be getting married to Ning Ji in half a month at most. If you don't show up at that time, it will be even more suspicious! "
Wedding.
Lu An didn't think about this matter. Ning Ji and Jiang Xiao's wedding would definitely be attended by many people, and not only the people of the Ning Clan, but also people from other clans. It was indeed a very rare opportunity to get to know the various clans.
Moreover … at that time, he would definitely see the Lu Clan.
"Don't worry, I won't miss your wedding." Lu An said.
Hearing Lu An say so, Jiang Xiao felt relieved.
Lu An didn't stay on Jiang Xing for long. Instead, he set up a teleportation array and disappeared in front of Jiang Xiao.

Heavenly Star River, Immortal Star, Tripartite Alliance Headquarters.
In this battle, the Tripartite Alliance had suffered many casualties, especially in the process of attacking the Spirit Galaxy. The Spirit Clan and the beasts had launched a frontal attack against the Spirit Galaxy's army, causing the Tripartite Alliance to suffer a lot. Even for those who didn't suffer any obvious injuries, the Death Energy of the Spirit Galaxy made them feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Sengoku was there to free these people and beasts from the torture of the Death Energy. Even so, these people had to lie in bed for a few days to fully recover.
At this time, it was already an hour after the battle ended. A figure suddenly appeared in Liu Yi's office. It was Lu An.
There were many people in the office. Liu Yi was discussing matters with her subordinates. When she saw Lu An return, her heart tightened. Her eyes turned red and tears almost flowed out.
Liu Yi knew that Lu An was in the Spirit Galaxy and that he would be participating in the war with the Spirit Galaxy's army. In the previous meeting, she had already heard about the attack on the Spirit Galaxy from the Immortal Master and Sacred Emissary Yan Xing. She was very worried that something would happen to Lu An. No one knew how haggard and flustered she was just now. When she saw that her husband had returned, she really couldn't hold it in.
Liu Yi didn't even wait for these people to finish their reports. She directly ordered everyone, "All of you, leave first."
The people in the room naturally wouldn't go against Liu Yi's orders. They obeyed and left. Immediately, only Liu Yi and Lu An were left in the office. Liu Yi no longer hid any emotions. She got up and rushed into Lu An's arms.
"Boohoo …"
Liu Yi cried.
Although her crying voice was very soft, she still couldn't hold it in. She hugged Lu An tightly as if she was afraid of losing him.
Lu An looked at his wife and hugged her dotingly. He gently stroked her long hair and said gently, "Why are you crying? Aren't I fine? Did someone bully you and Hubby wants to take revenge for you? "
Lu An's joke didn't make Liu Yi cry any better. Instead, she hugged him even tighter. Her tears spread on Lu An's clothes, making Lu An feel the scalding temperature of her tears.
"I'm fine," Lu An said gently and comforted his wife. "I'm not hurt either."
Lu An comforted Liu Yi for a long time before Liu Yi gradually calmed down and left Lu An's embrace. Lu An held Liu Yi's hand and sat down at the side. Then, he told her everything that had happened.
Liu Yi wasn't a woman who could be put at ease by being perfunctory. She would only be truly at ease if Liu Yi knew enough. Therefore, Lu An didn't hold anything back. He told her everything, from when he had first gone to the Skyline Galaxy with Jiang Xiao and Ning Ji to when he had finally met He Tai. Even though Lu An was sitting in front of her, Liu Yi clenched her fists even tighter when she heard this. Liu Yi's heart almost stopped beating when she heard that Lu An had met a top-notch Heaven Tier expert of the Chu Clan in the Million Treasure City and that Lu An had actually met a Heavenly King Realm expert at the Extinction Star Stream.
In her opinion, it wasn't because Lu An was strong enough that nothing had happened. He was just lucky.
As for luck … how long could it last?
