Beside the candlelight, Liu Lan's side profile was even brighter.
Seeing his daughter's determined look, Liu Zhengtang was stunned at first, then his frown deepened. He knew his daughter's personality. Once she made a decision, she would not change her mind. Otherwise, she would not have gone to find Lu An for ten days.
It was almost impossible for his daughter to change her mind, but he would not agree to let her go find the Wanyue Fruit either. No matter what, he only had one daughter. He could not let her take the risk.
"No! Absolutely not! " Liu Zhengtang shook his head and waved his hand. "There is no room for discussion. You cannot go. Even if I lock you up, I will not let you go!"
Liu Zhengtang's voice was obviously angry, but Liu Lan was indifferent. She only looked at her father quietly. Liu Zhengtang also looked at his daughter. The father and daughter looked at each other.
"Father." Liu Lan said softly, "You said that when you were still a poor boy, mother abandoned the family to go with you and suffered many years with you. You said that mother was the best woman in the world, and I was your daughter. Why did you not agree when it came to me? "
Liu Zhengtang's body shook. He looked at his daughter in shock, and his anger disappeared bit by bit. His wife died not long after his daughter was born. He did not have a single good day.
"That is why I have to treat you better." Liu Zhengtang looked at his daughter and said seriously, "Otherwise, I will let your mother down."
"Then let me go." Liu Lan looked at her father calmly. Her voice was as quiet as the candlelight. She said, "Let me do what I want to do."
"…"
Liu Zhengtang frowned. He looked at his daughter and found that her eyes were exactly the same as his wife's when she followed him.
It was a look of desperation.
"But your mother and I love each other. Lu An does not like you at all!" Liu Zhengtang clenched his teeth and slammed the table.
"That is why I have to create an opportunity for myself." Liu Lan looked at her father and said softly, "I will take risks with him and overcome difficulties with him. Maybe he will fall in love with me."
"…"
Liu Zhengtang looked at his daughter in shock. He did not expect her to go with such thoughts.
"Father, let your daughter go." Liu Lan looked at her father and said softly, "Your daughter is already very old. She can decide what she wants to do."
"…"
Hearing his daughter's words, Liu Zhengtang couldn't help but lean back in his chair.
Only now did he realize how wrong of a decision he had made during the day.
Liu Lan looked at her father and didn't say anything. Liu Zhengtang also sat on the chair and didn't say anything for a long time. The two of them faced each other until the candles on the candlestick were about to burn out.
At this moment, Liu Zhengtang suddenly raised his hand and slowly raised it into the air. Then, he waved it weakly.
"I won't care about you anymore." Liu Zhengtang's voice sounded weak and exhausted. His voice was completely hoarse as he said, "Go."
Liu Lan looked at her father and clenched her fists. She knelt down and kowtowed to her father three times before leaving.
Watching his daughter disappear into the night, Liu Zhengtang raised his head and took a deep breath. Only now did he realize how powerless he was and that there was nothing he could do.

The next day.
The news of the alliance between the Blood Symbol Alliance and the Mountain River Alliance spread throughout Black Wolf City in the morning. At the same time, the news of Lu An joining the Blood Symbol Alliance also spread quickly, causing everyone in Black Wolf City to discuss it.
No matter what, for the Blood Symbol Alliance to make such a decision at such a sensitive time, it was undoubtedly to protect the Mountain River Alliance and Lu An. For the sake of a dead Liu Shaoyuan, the Blood Symbol Alliance would have to consider whether or not they should make a big fuss.
Lu An stayed in a courtyard of the Blood Symbol Alliance last night. The Blood Symbol Alliance lived up to its name as a large alliance. Its environment and treatment were much better than the Mountain River Alliance. Early in the morning, a servant brought breakfast. After breakfast, Lu An went to the courtyard and stood for a while. After breathing in some fresh air, he continued to cultivate.
However, just as he was about to return to his room, a guest came to the courtyard.
Lu An had never seen this person before. He couldn't help but be stunned as he watched this person walk towards him.
When this person walked in front of Lu An, Lu An cupped his hands and said, "This one is Lu An. May I know who you are?"
"Lu Qing." The other party also cupped his hands and said.
Lu Qing?
Lu Qing, one of the New Three Heroes?
Lu An was slightly stunned. He quickly smiled and said, "So it's Brother Lu. May I know why you've come so early?"
Lu Qing looked at Lu An and frowned. He said coldly, "I've been thinking about your battle with Liu Shaoyuan all night. If someone had told me before that someone could kill him in one move, I definitely wouldn't have believed it. However, you did it. I know I'm not your opponent, but I still want to fight with you. "
After saying that, Lu Qing paused and said in a deep voice, "It's just a spar. Don't go too far."
Lu An was stunned. He couldn't help but laugh bitterly. The reason he killed Liu Shaoyuan yesterday wasn't just to show off his might. The most important reason was that Liu Shaoyuan wanted to kill him first. Someone had taught him not to let a person who was a threat to him live.
"It's not good to fight so early, right?" Lu An looked at Lu Qing and said, "Why don't we discuss this matter in a few days?"
"For us Heavenly Masters, a battle can happen at any time, let alone in the morning." Lu Qing didn't buy Lu An's words and directly refused, "At this moment, if you don't fight with me, I'm afraid I'll have to think about this for a day."
Lu An was stunned when he heard this. Looking at the other party's appearance, if he didn't fight, he would probably stay here for a day. He nodded and said, "Okay, here it is."
Lu Qing was happy when he saw Lu An agree. However, he quickly reminded him again, "This is just a spar. Don't go too far."
"Okay." Lu An smiled bitterly and nodded. "Please rest assured, Brother Lu."
Hearing Lu An's words, Lu Qing was slightly relieved. The two of them came to the center of the courtyard. The courtyard was not big, and it gave the two of them limited space to perform. However, this was enough for Lu An.
The two of them were six feet apart. Lu Qing took out a long spear from his ring and held it in his hand. He took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to make a move!"
"Please," Lu An said.
Lu Qing took a deep breath and immediately stepped on the ground with all his strength. Holding the long spear in his hand, his body rushed toward Lu An at an extremely fast speed like an arrow!
Wherever the long spear passed, the ground would be cut open with its strength alone, and it would bring with it a terrifying whistling sound of the wind.
Lu An's eyes narrowed when he saw this. Lu Qing's strength was indeed high, even higher than Liu Shaoyuan's. This attack alone was probably enough to defeat other people in the same realm.
Seeing the tip of the spear rushing toward him, Lu An also moved.
He didn't want to make a move early in the morning, and he didn't want to spend too much time making a move. Therefore, he took the initiative to meet the other party's spear, making it faster.
Lu Qing was stunned when he saw this. No one had ever dared to take the initiative to meet the tip of his spear. Lu An was the first.
However, he didn't let his guard down because he knew that Lu An was stronger than him. Seeing Lu An rushing over, he shouted and shook his hand. Suddenly, countless shadows appeared on the tip of the spear!
The tip of the spear was fake and real. Not only was it difficult to distinguish, but it was also difficult to see clearly. Facing such spear shadows, anyone would be forced to retreat.
However, Lu An didn't.
Looking at the huge spear shadows, he actually stretched out a hand and took the initiative to reach into the spear shadows.
The dense spear shadows covered the sky. Lu Qing was stunned when he saw this. Even he wasn't sure where the tip of the spear was, so how could the other party see it clearly?
Pa.
As if to sweep away his doubts, a strong force came from the tip of the spear in the next moment, and then all the spear shadows disappeared.
Lu Qing was stunned. He saw that the bottom of the spear was actually in Lu An's hand. In disbelief, he immediately recovered and pulled the spear back. This way, the sharpness of the spear would force Lu An to let go.
Whoosh!
The spear was indeed pulled back, but Lu An didn't let go. He only held the bottom of the spear, but there was no strength in his legs. He was pulled over by Lu Qing.
The distance between the two was instantly shortened. Lu Qing was stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would use his strength to get close! He immediately raised his left hand and right leg and attacked Lu An.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Once a spear user was close to someone, they would make a common mistake. They would be reluctant to put down their weapon.
If Lu Qing was willing to give up the spear and attack Lu An with both hands, he would still have a chance. However, if he only attacked with one hand, there would be no threat at all.
Lu An let go, and one hand and one foot knocked away the opponent's attack. At the same time, his left hand stretched out and went straight for Lu Qing's eyes.
Whoosh.
Lu An's fingertips stopped when they were less than an inch away from Lu Qing's eyes.
