Three days later.
In these three days, under Lu An's orders, everyone in Meteor Trail City was strictly investigated. As expected, many rebels were found among the commoners. These rebels were not able to escape, and without exception, they were all executed.
After the remnants were cleaned up, the next step was to rebuild Meteor Trail City. Whether it was the continuous battles, including the battle between Lu An and the Level 4 Heavenly Master, or the rebels' killing, robbing, and burning, all of them had caused serious damage to Meteor Trail City. How to rebuild it was a huge problem.
In this aspect, Lu An did not have much of an opinion. He also knew that he did not have much ability in this aspect, so he asked Liu Yi to help him come up with a plan.
Under Liu Yi's orders, the reconstruction of Meteor Trail City became orderly. What to do, what to do first, everything had been planned out clearly and rationally.
Moreover, after experiencing the rebel army's attack, everyone was reborn. When they rebuilt their homes, they were more motivated than ever.
Everyone cherished this hard-won victory. They could not forget the despair they felt when the rebel army attacked.
What was worth mentioning was that the matter of Lu An and Liu Yi working together to kill a Level 4 Heavenly Master was not hidden. Lu An also knew that it could not be hidden. Now, the entire city knew about it. More importantly, Lu An and Liu Yi were both from the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce. This was no secret, causing the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce's reputation to soar even higher.
Now, the Alkaid Chamber of Commerce's position in Meteor Trail City was unshakable.
After being busy for a few days, Lu An also felt a little tired. He even felt that compared to cultivation, giving others ideas was even more tiring. Every matter had to be considered comprehensively and could not be left out. Looking at Liu Yi's ability, he felt that this woman was even more tired than him.
After experiencing the rebellion, Meteor Trail Academy officially returned to normal. Fortunately, Meteor Trail Academy was not invaded by the rebel army. Perhaps they felt that there was nothing valuable in the academy, or perhaps they did not want to offend the Midnight Pavilion.
Starfire Academy was happy again, but the Headmaster was still busy helping Lu An in the City Lord's Mansion. For the past few days, the dean had not rested at all. Many people had advised him to rest, but he said that he had not been of much help when fighting against the rebel army, so he needed to do more now.
When everyone heard this, they could only let him work.
Just as the City Lord's Mansion was bustling with activity, a group of guests suddenly arrived.
Everyone stared blankly at the group of people who walked straight into the City Lord's Mansion. These people were none other than the group from Midnight Pavilion.
With Tong Sheng in the lead, he led the group of people behind him into the City Lord's Mansion. When the level four Heavenly Master arrived, Tong Sheng brought everyone to flee for their lives, fleeing to a place far away from the Starfire City. It was only when they discovered that the rebel army had retreated and confirmed that Starfire City had been rebuilt that they dared to return.
From the mouths of the people, they learned about what had happened in the past few days. Thus, they rushed to the City Lord's Mansion without stopping.
When they appeared in the main hall, Lu An was in the middle of a meeting with the people from the various large Chambers of Commerce and Clans. Of course, he was the one hosting the meeting, but the one giving the speech was not him, but Liu Yi.
The sudden appearance of the few people from Midnight Pavilion directly interrupted the meeting. Everyone turned to look at the people from Midnight Pavilion. Most of the people present had never seen them before.
"Who are they?" Someone asked curiously.
The Headmaster looked at these people and could not help but frown. He said coldly, "They're people from Midnight Pavilion."
"People from Midnight Pavilion?" Everyone was stunned and looked at Tong Sheng and the others. The Headmaster had already told them about the Midnight Pavilion's visit, so they did not look at Tong Sheng and the others well.
Seeing Tong Sheng, Lu An stood up after thinking for a while and said, "I wonder what business do you have here?"
Tong Sheng saw that Lu An was talking to him and frowned. He immediately said, "Since when was it your turn to speak to me first?"
The moment these words came out, the faces of everyone in the main hall changed!
Before Lu An could say anything, the Headmaster stood up and pointed at Tong Sheng. He scolded angrily, "Lu An is now our acting City Lord. Tong Sheng, I'm warning you to be more respectful when you speak!"
Seeing the Headmaster so angry, Tong Sheng was stunned by the scolding.
In the outside world, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this.
However, just as he was about to get angry, he suddenly realized that everyone in the main hall was glaring at him. That gaze was as if they wanted to kill him!
Tong Sheng did not know about the suffering of these people, nor did he know that they were grateful to Lu An. Whoever bullied Lu An was bullying their lives!
"Acting City Lord?" Tong Sheng frowned and suppressed the anger in his heart. He looked at Lu An and sneered, "The City Lord has always been appointed by the Imperial Court. Who allowed him to be the acting City Lord? And he's so young, how can he be the acting City Lord? "
"The City Lord needs to be appointed, but the acting City Lord can be appointed by the previous City Lord!" The Headmaster immediately shouted angrily, "You asked him how he can afford it? If he can't, then can you? I want to ask you, where have you been these past few days?! "
Hearing the Headmaster's angry shout again, Tong Sheng's face finally couldn't hold it any longer. He frowned and shouted, "Nonsense, we also lost two elders! And you are just the Headmaster of an academy, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of me? Are you courting death?! "
Hearing Tong Sheng speak like this, everyone in the main hall stood up. For a moment, everyone stared at Tong Sheng angrily, and the people of Midnight Pavilion did not allow it. It was as if the two sides were about to fight at any moment!
"Why are you so angry?" Just as the anger was about to reach its peak, Lu An's voice suddenly sounded again, "Sit down."
Hearing Lu An's words, the people of Meteor Trail City sat down, but they still gritted their teeth and stared at the people of Midnight Pavilion.
Lu An looked at Tong Sheng calmly, without the slightest bit of anger, and said softly, "I am only the acting City Lord. When the Imperial Court sends the City Lord, I will naturally leave immediately. During this period of time, I still have to manage Meteor Trail City. As for the few of you … I will entertain you as a distinguished guest. However, Meteor Trail City has suffered such a torment, I'm afraid there won't be anything good to eat or play with. "
Hearing Lu An's words, Tong Sheng's expression softened a little. He waved his hand and said, "Forget it! Our Midnight Pavilion came here to deal with the rebel army. Now that the rebel army has left, we don't want to stay here any longer! "
Hearing this, Lu An said, "If everyone wants to leave, then I'll get someone to prepare some money and travel expenses. After all, everyone's trip will be quite troublesome, and the loss of two people for Meteor Trail City can be considered a token of appreciation from Meteor Trail City."
Hearing Lu An's words, Tong Sheng's expression softened a lot and said, "That's more like it. At least you know what's good for you, kid. You have better eyesight than some old fart!"
With that, Tong Sheng snorted and turned to leave!
Watching the Midnight Pavilion and the rest leave, everyone in the main hall was extremely angry. These people from the Midnight Pavilion clearly didn't do anything, yet they were so arrogant. It was truly intolerable!
"City Lord Lu, you can tolerate this?" The Dean was so angry that his beard was crooked as he looked at Lu An and asked.
Lu An smiled and said softly, "Actually, they are quite miserable. Two people died here. No matter what, those two died for Meteor Trail City, so they should be respected."
"Moreover, the Midnight Pavilion is the cultivation holy land of the Midnight Kingdom. If we offend them, we will definitely be the ones to suffer. Why don't we send them away properly so that Meteor Trail City will be safer in the future? The current Meteor Trail City can't afford to be tormented. "Lu An said.
Hearing Lu An's words, everyone understood Lu An's thoughts and nodded.
As for the people from the Midnight Pavilion who had just left the City Lord's Mansion, they got on their horses and prepared to leave Meteor Trail City. On the side, Wang Zhenggang looked at Tong Sheng. After thinking for a while, he walked forward and asked, "Elder Tong, didn't you agree to help me settle my marriage?"
However, the moment Wang Zhenggang said this, he was slapped by Tong Sheng and fell to the ground!
"Marriage? At this time, you still care about your trivial matters?! " Tong Sheng gritted his teeth. He had a stomach full of anger and was worried that he had nowhere to vent it. He shouted loudly, "I don't understand. We are both people from Meteor Trail Academy. Why are they so powerful and you so useless?!"
Wang Zhenggang was completely stunned by Tong Sheng. Even the corner of his mouth was bleeding as he sat on the ground and stared blankly at Tong Sheng.
"If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have fallen out with those people!" Tong Sheng said fiercely, "See how I'll deal with you after I return to the Midnight Pavilion!"
When Wang Zhenggang heard this, his entire body trembled. He didn't even dare to let out a fart and hurriedly got on his horse and left Meteor Trail City with everyone.
This place, he never wanted to return.
