In fact, it was not Jiang Xiao who said that Lu An should go with them. Although Jiang Xiao did want to say so, Ning Ji spoke first.
Ning Ji had a purpose.
Whether it was bringing Lu An to the Ning Clan or telling his brother and sister that Lu An sacrificed his consciousness to Jiang Xiao, it was to let Lu An integrate into the Ning Clan faster and not give others a reason to object. Now, bringing Lu An with him was the same. It was to show others that he trusted this person enough to enter the Ning Clan.
He did this because Ning Ji found that Chu Xing was very useful. Not only did he save his life, but he also found the Heavenly King Realm of the Absolute Light Stream and escaped from the He Clan of Stars. More importantly, in Ning Ji's view, Lu An was absolutely trustworthy because he trusted Jiang Xiao, so he had the same trust in Lu An. So there were many things he wanted Lu An to do for him. After all, in the Ning Clan, he did not trust anyone.
Even within a top clan, it looked happy and harmonious on the surface, but in fact, there was scheming everywhere. Even the two guards who protected Ning Ji before were not trusted by him at all. It was very difficult to find someone absolutely trustworthy, and Chu Xing was a perfect person.
In Ning Ji's heart, Chu Xing's perfection was not only that he could trust him absolutely, but also that he was not a member of the Ning Clan. This meant that he could be by his side and also leave the Ning Clan to do his own things without being bound by the rules of the Ning Clan and did not have to listen to the Ning Clan's orders. Because of this, he wanted Lu An to integrate into the Ning Clan as soon as possible.
Ning Ji and Jiang Xiao walked in front, Lu An and the two maids followed behind, with a distance of a few steps. Along the way, they met many people who congratulated Ning Ji and Jiang Xiao. Soon, the two came to a large mountain in the square. This mountain was at least a thousand feet high and there were many plants of the Spirit Star River on it. It was very lush. The five of them walked up a mountain path. Of course, this mountain path had many forks and was connected to other mountain paths, and there were always some pavilions on the way for them to rest. When the five of them walked halfway up the mountain, a voice suddenly sounded.
"Ning Ji!"
Ning Ji immediately stopped and turned his head to look to the right. He found that there were many people in a pavilion, and these people were his very familiar friends.
Ning Ji was naturally very happy to see his friends. It was hard to find a trustworthy friend in the Ning family, but it was easy to find one in the other top clans. Ning Ji immediately led Jiang Xiao towards the pavilion. Jiang Xiao had never seen most of these people before.
"Why are you here?" Ning Ji walked into the pavilion and asked immediately.
"Isn't it the same no matter where we are? But in a banquet, we don't even dare to speak. It's much more comfortable to come out." One of the men spoke. Then, he looked at Jiang Xiao and smiled. "Hello, sister-in-law!"
Jiang Xiao knew that most of the people in the pavilion were the children of the leaders of the other top clans. However, birds of a feather flock together. It was basically impossible for these people to become young clan leaders. They were all the youngest children of the clan leaders. But even so, Jiang Xiao was very happy to be called 'sister-in-law' by these people. It satisfied her vanity.
Ning Ji and Jiang Xiao sat down and chatted with the crowd. Lu An and the two maids waited outside the pavilion. The two maids were very quiet and on standby. Lu An couldn't talk to the two women, so he closed his eyes. He had been thinking along the way. Now, he continued to think about cultivation in his Knowledge Sea.
In the Spirit Race, most of the time was spent waiting. Lu An couldn't waste time. Although he couldn't practice, his current state of thinking was very important for cultivation. Although it was not as efficient as sitting cross-legged in a cave, it was not much weaker.
However, Chu Xing's appearance obviously attracted the attention of the people in the pavilion. After all, it should be the maids by his side. How could a man appear?
Someone asked. Ning Ji naturally explained to these people again, saying, "He saved my life. In fact, I see him as a friend. Although he is a bit introverted now, he is a good person. "
The people in the pavilion didn't reject Lu An. They didn't have the arrogance of a top clan. Instead, they were curious about the person who had sacrificed his Divine Sense. "Then let him come in and sit!"
Seeing that everyone was interested, Ning Ji naturally wouldn't refuse. He immediately turned to Lu An who was standing outside the pavilion and said, "Brother Chu, come in!"
Naturally, Lu An heard the sound. He opened his eyes and turned to look at the people in the pavilion. He then walked in.
After Lu An entered, he sat down on a chair. Everyone looked at Lu An. They couldn't help but look him up and down. It was as if they were looking at a new living thing. Everyone was very curious about Lu An's state. They wanted to know the difference between a person who had sacrificed his Divine Sense and a normal person. So they kept talking to Lu An.
"How old is Brother Chu this year?"
"Does Brother Chu have a wife or children?"
"Brother Chu, do you feel uncomfortable?"
"… …"
These people were very curious. They kept asking about Lu An's information and feelings. In the face of the chattering questions, Lu An didn't answer all of them. Instead, he answered casually, "I don't feel uncomfortable. I don't have a wife or children."
There were also two women in the pavilion. Although the women didn't wear clan clothes, there was still a clan symbol somewhere on the clothes, so Lu An could tell that one of them was from the Meng Clan and the other was from the He Clan. The curiosity of the two women was even more. They kept asking Lu An questions and showed great enthusiasm. This enthusiasm even made Jiang Xiao feel dissatisfied.
In Jiang Xiao's heart, Lu An was one of her people. Even if the Divine Sense Sacrifice was fake, she still treated Lu An as one of her own people. She even wanted to open her mouth and stop the conversation, but she knew that she couldn't do so.
Lu An's introverted nature, coupled with the fact that he only answered with a few simple words, not only did it not make everyone lose interest, but it made everyone more interested. If Lu An communicated with them like a normal person, they would lose interest. The more unusual Lu An's performance was, the more curious they became. It was as if all the abnormalities were caused by the Divine Sense Sacrifice.
In the process of chatting, Lu An also gradually learned the names of some people.
The two women in the pavilion were Meng Lu, the little princess of the Meng Clan, and He Xin, the second young lady of the He Clan. Meng Lu, the little princess of the Meng Clan, was particularly interested in Lu An. Among the men, Ding Youwei, the second young master of the Ding Clan, was very interested in Lu An. It was as if today's focus was no longer on the new couple, but on Lu An.
Because these people were too enthusiastic, it made Jiang Xiao feel more and more dissatisfied in her heart, especially when the two women talked and laughed with Lu An. They even used their words and bodies to tease Lu An, as if Lu An had turned into a kitten or a puppy. They wanted to see how Lu An would react. This kind of curiosity was not a respectful curiosity, but a curiosity towards a pet, which made Jiang Xiao very unhappy.
Therefore, Jiang Xiao did not want to stay here any longer, so she turned to Ning Ji and said, "Let's go for a walk."
Ning Ji was slightly startled, but he naturally would not refuse his wife's request. He immediately nodded and said to everyone, "You can chat, we will go first."
Saying that, Ning Ji and Jiang Xiao got up, Lu An also got up and prepared to leave. But at this time, the little princess of the Meng Clan suddenly opened her mouth and said to Ning Ji and Jiang Xiao, "Can you leave Chu Xing here?"
As soon as this remark came out, Ning Ji and Jiang Xiao were both surprised and turned to look at Meng Lu.
"He is really interesting, you can go for a walk first, and when you come back, you can pick him up and let him accompany us to chat!" Meng Lu's eyes were full of expectation as she spoke.
"… …"
Jiang Xiao originally wanted to leave because she did not want Lu An to interact with these people. She also did not like these people's attitude towards Lu An, but Meng Lu's pleading look made Ning Ji and her not know what to say. Ning Ji looked at Jiang Xiao. After all, Lu An was his wife's man, so it was up to his wife to make the decision.
Jiang Xiao's face was obviously unwilling, she looked at Lu An. In the eyes of outsiders, it was a normal look, but in fact Jiang Xiao was asking for Lu An's opinion.
If he made a gesture of rejection, she would immediately reject and bring Lu An away. However …. Lu An did not do so.
Most likely this man thought this was a good opportunity to seek revenge, so he stayed with these people?
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiao's heart was even angrier. She did not expect this man to endure such grievances for revenge. Or did this man fancy the two young ladies of the Meng and Ding family?
Jiang Xiao's heart was even angrier, but she did not show it. She said to Lu An, "Then you stay here."
