After a while, everyone took their seats.
This time, Lu An sat on the right side of the dean. His position was second only to the dean. Of course, no one would be interested in sitting like this. If not for Lu An's refusal, the dean would have wanted him to sit at the head of the table.
Unlike the previous meetings, the gloominess on everyone's faces was swept away and replaced with excitement and happiness. Everyone looked at Lu An from time to time, as if Lu An was their backbone.
After everyone was seated, the dean looked around and fixed his gaze on Lu An. He smiled and asked, "How are you feeling now?"
Lu An smiled and said, "Not bad, almost there."
"That's good." The dean was relieved and said with a smile, "Yesterday's battle was all thanks to you. If not for you, I'm afraid that this Starfire City would have already fallen! "
"Dean, you flatter me." Lu An smiled and said, "To be able to resist the rebel army, it's everyone's credit, not mine alone."
Seeing Lu An being so humble and polite, everyone couldn't help but praise him in their hearts. If someone else had such strength at Lu An's age, they would have been arrogant to the heavens.
"Oh right, if not for your actions yesterday, we wouldn't have known that you have a Fate Wheel!" The dean seemed to have thought of something and said quickly, "Yesterday's methods made me unable to sleep at night!"
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately agreed. Yesterday, what left the deepest impression on everyone was the colorful giant palm in the sky. The power of the giant palm shocked them even more.
Lu An was startled when he heard this. Looking at everyone's gaze, he could only smile bitterly and say, "Dean, that's not a Fate Wheel. It's just a unique Heaven Skill."
"What?" The dean was stunned and asked, "Heaven Skill?"
"That's right." Lu An nodded and said.
Everyone was surprised when they heard this. After the battle yesterday, Lu An left, but they didn't leave immediately. Instead, they discussed the battle for a long time. In the end, they all believed that Lu An had a Fate Wheel. Otherwise, they couldn't explain what the giant palm was.
If that giant palm was a Heaven Art, then it was too different from the rest, right?
Hearing Lu An's words, the Dean was also stunned. However, Lu An indeed had no reason to lie to him on this matter, so he said, "This Heaven Skill is no small matter. To be able to beat a late-stage Level 3 Heavenly Master half to death in one move, Lu An, you're really lucky!"
As soon as he said this, everyone agreed and looked at Lu An enviously. On the other hand, Lu An only smiled and didn't say much.
Just as everyone was discussing for a while, a voice suddenly came from outside, following which someone shouted, "The City Lord has arrived!"
Hearing the two words' City Lord ', everyone's body immediately trembled. They hurriedly got up and went to the door to welcome him. Sure enough, not long after, the City Lord personally appeared at the door.
"We pay respects to City Lord!" When everyone saw Chu Youdao, they hurriedly bowed and greeted.
"Rise, rise!" Seeing this, Chu Youdao waved his hand. After everyone stood up, he said, "Previously, I had been in seclusion. My daughter was the one who came to attend the meeting. Now that I've come out of seclusion, I'm going to personally participate. "
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly nodded. However, the Dean asked worriedly, "But, your injury …"
"It's fine!" Chu Youdao waved his hand and said, "This injury will be fine in a few days. It's not a problem!"
Following which, Chu Youdao asked the Dean, "Is Lu An here?"
"He's here, he's here!" The Dean hurriedly said and turned around to look. Soon, Lu An walked from the crowd to the front.
"Greetings to City Lord." Lu An looked at Chu Youdao and said with cupped hands.
"Young hero Lu, you don't have to be so polite!" Seeing this, Chu Youdao hurriedly said, "I saw the battle yesterday. For a young hero like you to appear in Meteor Trail City, it's our blessing! "
Hearing this, Lu An smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise, City Lord."
Soon, everyone took their seats. Since the City Lord had arrived, the seat of honor was naturally taken by the City Lord. On his left and right were the Dean and Lu An respectively. Everyone else sat down one after another. With the City Lord and Lu An joining the meeting at the same time, everyone became even more serious.
After the City Lord sat down, he looked around and said in a deep voice, "Previously, I had been in closed door cultivation, so I didn't know much about the outside world. Yesterday, I heard someone say it once and found some clues. I believe that the rebels are not doing this for the city, but for money! "
The moment these words were said, everyone was stunned!
Lu An was also slightly startled before he relaxed. After all, Chu Youdao was the City Lord, so it wasn't surprising that he could think of this. Since he had already said so, there was no need for him to stand out.
Very soon, Chu Youdao explained his analysis to everyone. After everyone heard it, they all had a feeling of realization. However, when they heard Chu Youdao's analysis that there was a high chance that a level four Heavenly Master would come to support them, their expressions changed. It was obvious that although Meteor Trail City was not afraid of a level three Heavenly Master, they were not a match for a level four Heavenly Master.
A level four Heavenly Master was an existence comparable to a Prefecture Overseer.
"If the rebel army's level four Heavenly Master arrives, it would be best if the people from the Midnight Pavilion could come first. If the people from the Midnight Pavilion cannot arrive, my suggestion is that everyone hide and hide as much money as possible to minimize the losses! "
Hearing the City Lord's words, everyone was stunned. The Dean quickly asked, "Then what about Meteor Trail City? Are we not going to defend it?"
"Not defending!" The City Lord looked at the Dean and said in a deep voice, "The difference between a level four Heavenly Master and a level three Heavenly Master is huge. Even if Lu An and I were to attack together, we would have no chance of winning. Rather than that, it would be better to protect people and Meteor Trail City would become as prosperous as before! "
Hearing Chu Youdao's words, everyone's faces turned ugly. They found it hard to accept this decision. The only thing that could remain calm was chaos. He was actually the one who approved of Chu Youdao's actions the most.
Compared to losing both people and money, the former was definitely better.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Chu Youdao felt helpless in his heart. He knew that this decision of his would definitely make people feel disgusted. They might even think that he was a coward who was afraid of death. However, no matter what, he had to make this decision.
Chu Youdao turned his head and said to Lu An, "These few days, you have to be careful as well. I'm afraid that before the rebel army attacks, that level four Heavenly Master will make a move on you first. After all, in their eyes, people like you are the biggest threat. "
Hearing this, Lu An nodded and said, "Yes."
Following that, Chu Youdao continued to discuss with everyone what they needed to pay attention to. In fact, everyone knew that the City Lord was not someone who was afraid of death. This could be seen from yesterday, but it was difficult for him to raise his mood. Most of the time, he listened to Chu Youdao speak alone.
Finally, Chu Youdao finished talking about the things that each family should pay attention to. At the side, Lu An felt that the City Lord had more things to consider than him. Although it was Chu Youdao who had been speaking alone, the content was more detailed than the previous days combined.
"That's all I want to say." Chu Youdao looked around and said, "If anyone has any questions or objections, you can raise them now and we'll discuss it together."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other. No one said anything. Seeing that everyone was not in high spirits, Chu Youdao could only say, "Then follow my orders. If there are any questions, everyone can come to the City Lord's Mansion to find me."
After saying that, Chu Youdao stood up and was about to leave. However, at this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside the door.
Following that, there was a knock on the door. Before the people inside could respond, the person pushed the door open and looked at everyone inside.
Seeing that it was a student's teacher, the dean could not help but frown and scold loudly, "How can you be so flustered?!"
Hearing the dean's scolding, the teacher did not have any reaction. Instead, he took two deep breaths and said loudly, "Dean! The people from Ziye Pavilion are here! "
