Meteor Trail City, in a luxurious courtyard.
In the elegant main room, Lu An was lying on a soft bed. This bed had a faint body fragrance, and it was obvious that someone had lived here before.
This courtyard was Liu Yi's courtyard, and this main room was naturally where Liu Yi lived.
Liu Yi was outside the bedroom, instructing the servants to prepare some medicinal porridge and the best healing pills from the Chamber of Commerce to be sent over as quickly as possible.
After giving out all the instructions, Liu Yi returned to the bedroom. She found that Lu An was not asleep, but lying on the bed looking at her. She was slightly startled, and walked over.
She sat by the bed and looked at Lu An who was covered with a blanket. She frowned and asked, "How do you feel?"
"Not bad." Lu An smiled. He was already prepared for the side effects of the Demon Gods Realm, and said, "I'm fine, I'll be fine after a day of rest."
Hearing this, Liu Yi was slightly relieved. After thinking for a while, he still said, "I really didn't expect you to be so strong."
Lu An smiled and said, "Are you surprised?"
"It's very surprising." Seeing that Lu An was still in the mood to joke with him, Liu Yi found it funny and said, "In this world, the strong are respected. What, do you want me to call you Lord like a maid?"
"..."
Lu An looked at Liu Yi in a daze. He didn't know how this woman's head worked. He had only said one sentence, but she had already thought of this kind of thing.
Seeing that Lu An was speechless, Liu Yi smiled instead, and then her expression became serious again. She asked, "You said that you are a Level 2 Heavenly Master, which means that you have used a method to increase your strength. I'm afraid that your current appearance is due to the aftereffects, right? "
Lu An was startled when he heard this, and then nodded his head.
Anyone could see that. After all, he hadn't been hurt by Hu Zheng at all during the battle.
"Is there a higher price?" Liu Yi frowned and asked, "For example, the consumption of life, or the consumption of blood essence?"
"That's not true." Lu An shook his head and said softly, "It will only make the body overdraft. Nothing else."
"Really?" Liu Yi asked in disbelief.
"Really."
Hearing Lu An's words, Liu Yi was slightly relieved. If that was really the case, then this method of increasing one's strength was really powerful.
Lu An frowned and said, "It's a pity that we didn't kill the enemy today and left him alive. Once he recovers, I'm afraid he will come back to cause trouble."
"Indeed." Hearing this, Liu Yi's expression became serious as she said, "But fortunately, the City Lord has already become a Level 3 Heavenly Master. With you, that person shouldn't be so arrogant anymore."
"But I heard that there are still Level 4 Heavenly Masters in the rebel army in other areas." Lu An frowned and said, "Although I can fight against a Level 3 Heavenly Master, I can't do anything against a Level 4 Heavenly Master."
"The Level 4 Heavenly Master isn't here. As far as I know, he is in Skylight City," Liu Yi said, "After all, Skylight City is richer than here, so he cares more about it."
Hearing about Skylight City, Lu An frowned but quickly calmed down and said, "The rebel army is in the same group after all. A Level 4 Heavenly Master probably won't be satisfied with just one city. Moreover, the people from Midnight Pavilion will be coming soon. I'm afraid they have already heard the news. What I'm most worried about now isn't them invading the city, but them plundering the city. "
Liu Yi was startled when she heard this. She frowned and asked, "Why?"
"It's very simple. It's clearly been so long, but we haven't seen them expand the rebel army." Lu An frowned and said, "In war, we have to use war to support war. When I was in Tiancheng Nation, I saw the rebel army causing chaos. They would always go to a place and take in many local soldiers and Heavenly Masters as captives to replenish their fighting strength. But now, they haven't done so.
"Now, it's more like they are purely after money. After what happened in Tiancheng Nation, I'm afraid they also know that once Midnight Pavilion arrives, they will still have to escape. So, they want to take advantage of this period of time to plunder more things to ensure their future lives. "
Hearing this, Liu Yi frowned and her expression became extremely solemn.
Indeed, when Lu An said this, she also noticed some things.
This time, when the rebel army attacked, it seemed that everyone was paying attention to the path of the merchant's convoy. No matter how the merchant's convoy changed their route, the rebel army would be able to discover it immediately and rob it. Moreover, there was clearly the existence of a level three Heavenly Master, but they did not attack Meteor Trail City. Instead, they used the name of a level three Heavenly Master to wantonly threaten the major families in Meteor Trail City, forcing them to hand over their money.
Could it be that it was really as Lu An said, that these people were purely after money and not to occupy the city?
"This is just my guess." Looking at Liu Yi's expression, Lu An spoke again and said, "It could also be because of other reasons that they have not entered Meteor Trail City. However, if I'm right, then I'm afraid Meteor Trail City will be in trouble again. "
Liu Yi was stunned when she heard this and hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"
"I said before that the rebel army is in cahoots." Lu An frowned slightly and said, "If it's really for the sake of plundering, then when that level four Heavenly Master leaves Skylight City, he will probably come to Meteor Trail City. When that time comes, I'm afraid all the major merchant associations in Meteor Trail City will be robbed clean by him. "
As he said this, Lu An paused and said in a low voice, "And the first to bear the brunt of it will definitely be the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce."
Liu Yi's body trembled when she heard this!
"Therefore, I suggest that you hide the assets of the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce in a place that only you know." Looking at Liu Yi's shocked expression, Lu An continued, "At the same time, before the Ziye Court arrives, you have to hide as well. I'm afraid that they will harm you first!"
Hearing Lu An's words, Liu Yi's expression could not calm down for a long time. After a while, she took a deep breath and nodded her head vigorously.
"But, Meteor Trail Academy …" Liu Yi said.
"I'll talk to them." Lu An said, "Just hide for a few days. As for the matter of resisting the rebel army, I'll be there, so you don't have to worry about it."
Looking at Lu An's serious expression, Liu Yi finally nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Then, she suddenly realized something and a smile appeared on her face. She said to Lu An, "I suddenly feel that you're more mature than last year!"
Lu An was startled when he heard this. He smiled and said, "It's alright. After all, I've gone out for a walk and seen some of the world."
"Then when are you going to manage the merchant association and let me have a year of free time to go out and see the world?" Liu Yi raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu An as she teased him.
"Forget about doing business. I don't know anything about it." Lu An heard this and said with a smile, "I'll have to trouble you to do something like making money."

The next morning.
Lu An slept for a long time. When he woke up, he felt a little tired and stretched his body. His body made a sound and after stretching, he felt a lot more comfortable.
After a night of gaming, his body had almost recovered. As long as he didn't fight today, he estimated that he would be fully recovered by noon.
After getting up and tidying himself up, Lu An walked out of the door. When he came out of the house, he found that there were two main rooms in the courtyard. The other room should be where Liu Yi lived.
At this time, Liu Yi just came in from outside the courtyard. When she saw Lu An appear, she went up to him.
"How are you? Are you feeling better? "Liu Yi stood in front of Lu An and asked.
"Much better." Lu An said with a smile.
Liu Yi looked at Lu An from head to toe. After finding that there was nothing serious, she was relieved and said, "I've already transferred the merchant association's assets as you said."
"En." Lu An nodded, and said, "That's good."
"The Principal is convening a meeting." Liu Yi thought for a moment, then said, "I didn't want to tell you, I'll go in your place. But your body is better, so it's up to you whether you want to go or not. "
Lu An thought for a moment, then said, "Let's go. There are some things that I need to say as well. No matter if it happens or not, I need to let them be mentally prepared."
"Yes." Liu Yi nodded and said, "I'll get someone to prepare a carriage for you. I still have work to do, so I won't be going with you."
"Alright." Lu An said.
Very quickly, Lu An left the courtyard, got on the carriage, and headed straight for the academy.
When he arrived at the academy's meeting room, it was already filled with people. When he appeared at the door, everyone stood up and hurried forward to welcome him.
The reason was none other than because of yesterday's battle. Lu An's name had completely become famous in Starfire City. Everyone knew that Lu An's strength was actually able to contend against a Level 3 Heavenly Master, and even defeat him. Such strength was enough to gain anyone's respect.
However, seeing so many people he didn't know coming in front of him to ask about his well-being, although Lu An agreed with a smile on the surface, his heart became heavier and heavier.
No matter what, his strength had been completely exposed this time. As the saying goes, a tall tree attracts the wind. He had always restrained himself from hiding his strength, and the current situation was the one he didn't want to see the most.
If it wasn't for the fact that there were too many people he cared about in Starfire City, if it was any other city, he would probably have turned around and left, not caring about the rebel army at all.
At this moment, the Principal walked out from the crowd and arrived in front of Lu An. Seeing Lu An, he smiled from ear to ear and said happily, "Lu An, please take a seat!"
