Lu An had not come to the Ning Family for Jiang Xiao, but for information. He wanted to see if there was a chance to come into contact with information related to the 90,000 years. Ning Ji was the most important person in this regard.
Lu An hoped that Ning Ji would let him go out on a mission again, but Ning Ji was not around. He could only ask Jiang Xiao, "Where did Ning Ji go?"
"He went out for something," Jiang Xiao said. "He will be out for a long time every day, ranging from six hours to twelve hours. He will not come back during this time."
"How long has he been out?"
"Less than two hours."
Lu An frowned slightly when he heard this. He did not want to wait here for so long. After thinking about it, he asked, "Do you know what he has been doing these past few days? Did he ever ask you for my help? "
"No, he didn't." Jiang Xiao shook her head and said, "He never told me what he was doing. I asked him, but his answer was ambiguous. However, he did mention you and asked where you went, but you were not around. He did not say much. "
Although Lu An wanted to know the secret of the 90,000 years, he was not in such a hurry. In addition to searching for information related to the 90,000 years, he had another very important thing to do. In comparison, the information about the 90,000 years was not an important goal.
"Besides Ning Ji, has anyone else come looking for me?" Lu An asked.
"Others?" Jiang Xiao was obviously surprised when she heard Lu An's question. She asked in confusion, "Are you talking about the people from the Jiang Family?"
"No, it's the people from the top clans. Including the six top clans, has anyone come looking for me? Or has anyone come looking for you and asked you about me? "Lu An asked.
"No." Jiang Xiao shook her head immediately and said with certainty, "No one has come looking for you, and no one has come looking for me."
Upon hearing Jiang Xiao's answer, Lu An could finally let go of the worries in his heart. He even let out a long sigh of relief.
"What's wrong? Who would come looking for you? "Jiang Xiao looked at Lu An and could not help but ask curiously.
"It's nothing. It's just that I'm looking for my enemy. I'm worried that he'll recognize me before I find him," Lu An said. "Then I'll be in danger."
After hearing Lu An's explanation, Jiang Xiao felt that it was reasonable. However, her heart was not on Lu An's revenge, but on Lu An. She asked, "What are you going to do next?"
Lu An looked at Jiang Xiao and spoke, "Since there is nothing going on, there is no reason for me to stay here for a long time. If Ning Ji comes looking for me, you can tell him that I went into seclusion again and will only appear in four days."
"You're leaving?" A trace of anxiety appeared on Jiang Xiao's beautiful face, and her gaze became urgent as she asked, "Aren't you going to stay a little longer?"
"No, thanks," Lu An said.
With that, Lu An turned to leave. But just as he was about to turn around, Jiang Xiao's voice suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness again, calling out to him.
"I slept with him!" Jiang Xiao's voice was filled with anxiety and pain.
Lu An stopped, turned his head, and looked at Jiang Xiao with a puzzled look.
"This is what husband and wife should do." Lu An said. "Why are you telling me this?"
Looking at the puzzled look on Lu An's face, Jiang Xiao felt even more disappointed in her heart.
Five days ago, Jiang Xiao did sleep with Ning Ji. It was also the first time that the two of them had sex. Before meeting Lu An, although she did not sleep with Ning Ji, her purpose was to keep Ning Ji in suspense, so that he could not get what he wanted. But after meeting Lu An, she really did not want to sleep with Ning Ji. Not only Ning Ji, but she also did not want to sleep with any other man. But on the night of the wedding, she could not do that, so the process that should have been happy was not happy at all. It even made her feel very painful.
This kind of thing had never happened before. But looking at Lu An's attitude, this man really did not care about her at all. No man would be indifferent to such a thing happening to his beloved woman. In other words, Lu An really did not have any feelings for her and was not playing hard to get.
Realising this point, or confirming this point, Jiang Xiao's heart became even more desolate.
"It's nothing." Jiang Xiao's voice suddenly became soft and said, "You can go."
Lu An did not say another word, turned around and left the palace, quickly disappearing from the star.

The next day, noon.
Spirit Star River, on the star where Wang Wei lived, a figure had already arrived a moment earlier. It was Lu An.
Lu An sat on a chair in the guest hall and waited. Just a moment later, Wang Wei arrived on time. When Wang Wei saw Lu An's appearance, she could not help but be shocked.
Lu An … had put on makeup.
Wang Wei walked in front of Lu An and carefully sized up Lu An's appearance. She found that Lu An had used rouge to cover a lot of the scars around his eyes and used makeup techniques to visually change Lu An's appearance. But … for someone like her who knew Lu An very well, she could still easily recognise Lu An.
"You …" Wang Wei said with some hesitation, "I'm afraid you can't fool the three of them."
Hearing Wang Wei's words, Lu An did not worry. On the contrary, this was the effect he wanted. The makeup was naturally done by Fu Yueni, but the difference was that Chu Xing's makeup was made with specially prepared materials. But now, the makeup on his face was just ordinary rouge, which could be washed off with any kind of water. He wanted Wang Wei to see through his makeup. This way, he could subconsciously prove that he had never put on makeup before.
"It's okay." Lu An took out a mask from his interspatial ring and said, "I'll wear it."
With that, Lu An put on the mask in front of Wang Wei. This mask almost covered his entire face, leaving only a horizontal slit where his eyes were, and it was a very narrow slit. At this moment, Wang Wei was standing very close to Lu An, but even she could barely see Lu An's eyes. This slit was so narrow that it was as if it did not exist.
"How is it?" Lu An said, "You can't tell, right?"
"I can't tell." Wang Wei nodded. No one could see Lu An's face with their X-ray vision. Plus, Lu An had deliberately changed his outfit today, which was obviously the style of Heavenly Star River. If she forgot Lu An's identity, she would not be able to recognize Lu An at first sight.
"Let's go." Wang Wei said, "I'll introduce you to another person first, and then this person will bring you to the seller's people. I can't expose myself. Otherwise, as a buyer, if I find myself a competitor, I will definitely be suspected. "
"Okay." Lu An said.
Immediately, Wang Wei opened a teleportation array. The two entered one after another and disappeared from the star.

Heavenly Star River, on a public star.
There were many public stars, such as the Black Tomb Star. However, this star was not very famous and was just a very ordinary public star. There were not many people, even a little few.
At this moment, Lu An and Wang Wei were walking in this city. After coming out of the teleportation array, Lu An did not spread out his perception. He only used his vision to observe the surroundings. As this place was very ordinary, there was not a single Heaven Realm cultivator on the street as far as the eye could see. After all, the clothes of a Heaven Realm cultivator were obviously different from that of a Normal Realm cultivator.
When they reached the end of the long street, there was a horizontal path in front of them that could lead to the left or right. Lu An looked at Wang Wei, and Wang Wei said, "Do you see a shop on the right without a signboard? That's the introducer. I've already sent someone to arrange it in advance. He knows that there will be buyers coming at noon today. Just go in directly. "
Lu An nodded slightly when he heard this. He left Wang Wei's side and strode toward the shop.
Before long, Lu An arrived in front of the shop. The shop was very small. He could see that there were only a few tables in the outer hall. There were some goods on the tables that were not very valuable. There was a door at the end of the outer hall. It was obvious that there was an inner hall. There was a person lying on a chair in the outer hall, reading a book out of boredom. However, when Lu An stood at the entrance of the shop, this person immediately noticed Lu An and turned to look at him.
Lu An did not hesitate and walked directly into the shop. He glanced at the goods on the table and said to this person, "I want to buy a foreign object."
This person's eyes lit up. He sized up Lu An, especially when he saw the mask on Lu An's face. There was an obvious look of curiosity in his eyes. However, he knew very well that someone who could buy a foreign object was definitely not someone he could afford to offend. He stood up, put the book on the table, and said directly, "Follow me."
