The next day, morning.
The sun shone on Liu Lan's side face, slightly stinging her eyes. Liu Lan slowly turned her head, but when she moved, her whole body trembled in pain.
Then, she gently opened her eyes, her mind was blank, she slightly struggled on the bed. She raised her hand, gently rubbed her head, trying to recall what happened to her.
However, when she remembered everything, her body shook, quickly sat up from the bed, only to find that she was in a familiar bedroom.
The maid beside her was shocked when she saw Miss suddenly sat up, but immediately ran to Miss and said happily, "Miss, you're awake!"
Liu Lan looked at her maid, quickly asked, "How long have I been unconscious for?"
The maid looked at Liu Lan's anxious look, quickly said, "Miss was sent back yesterday morning, you've been unconscious until now."
"What about the departure date?" Liu Lan quickly asked, "How many days ago was the departure date?"
"It was the day before yesterday." The maid was a little scared, thinking that Liu Lan's brain was damaged, quickly said, "The day before yesterday, you left early yesterday morning, Miss has been unconscious until now …"
As she said, the maid was still a little worried, said, "Miss, you should rest first, I'll call the Heavenly Healer now."
With that, the maid quickly left, leaving Liu Lan alone on the bed in a daze.
According to the maid's answer, Lu An sent her back that night – that's right, where is Lu An?!
Liu Lan just wanted to raise her head to ask, but found that the maid was no longer in the room. But she was worried, quickly got up, put on her coat and went outside.
Soon, Liu Lan passed through the corridor and arrived at the meeting hall. She knew that her father would definitely be here to handle matters. Along the way, many maids wanted to stop her, but they couldn't.
When she entered the courtyard, she found that the meeting hall was full of people, and in the middle of the crowd, Lu An was standing in everyone's line of sight.
"Lu An!" Liu Lan's heart was happy, quickly rushed into the meeting hall. Lu An turned around, looked behind him, but Liu Lan just happened to throw herself into his arms.
This scene made everyone in the meeting hall widen their eyes.
"I'm glad you're okay … I'm glad you're okay …" Liu Lan hugged Lu An tightly and said. Lu An looked at Liu Lan in his arms. Although it was very awkward in front of so many people, he couldn't bear to push her away.
Finally, Liu Zhengtang, who was sitting at the head of the table, coughed twice. Only then did Liu Lan leave Lu An's arms. Although her face was slightly red, she looked at Lu An without a care in the world. Her beautiful eyes expressed her feelings.
The people around her were not young. They were all experienced people. Anyone could tell what Liu Lan meant. Everyone couldn't help but envy Lu An. Although Liu Lan's temper wasn't good, she was still a great beauty. Lu An, this brat, had profited.
Liu Zhengtang stood up and came to his daughter's side. He asked with concern, "How's your body?"
"I'm fine." Liu Lan shook her head. "It was Lu An who saved me. Oh right, where are the others? "
Hearing this, Liu Zhengtang's expression darkened as he said, "Apart from Shao Meng, everyone else died."
"What?!" Liu Lan looked at her father in shock. Her face was filled with disbelief.
"We're having this meeting because of this. Last night, Lu An rested for a day. Since you're awake today, we need to understand what happened." Liu Zhengtang said in a deep voice. "So many people died. We can't leave it unclear."
Saying this, Liu Zhengtang asked someone to give his daughter a seat. She followed him to the head of the table. He looked at Lu An and asked, "Lu An, you were the one who saved them, so you should know best what happened."
Immediately, everyone's gazes landed on Lu An. Lu An's expression was calm as he said softly, "We arrived at the foot of the mountain between the twelfth and thirteenth mountains. There, we found the Wanyue Fruit. Afterwards, a large group of black wolves attacked us. I was also attacked and fell unconscious on the ground. However, I didn't die. When I woke up, the battle had already ended. "
"The black wolves were nowhere to be seen, so I immediately went to find the others. I found that apart from the eldest miss and the captain, everyone else was dead. I could only bring the two of them and run back as fast as I could. "Lu An said.
Hearing Lu An's words, everyone couldn't help but frown. According to Lu An's words, he didn't know anything.
At the end of the table, Liu Lan looked at Lu An's back in shock. She knew that Lu An was lying. She remembered everything before she fainted. His red eyes, the black wolves everywhere, the terrifying waves and ice, the powerful flames, and even the howl at the end. She remembered everything!
Why would he lie?!
Liu Zhengtang frowned. Actually, Shao Meng had already woken up in the early hours of the morning. It was just that he was heavily injured and couldn't move. He first went to Shao Meng to understand the situation. However, Shao Meng didn't know much. He was heavily injured and fainted from the attack of the rank four black wolves. He didn't know what happened after that.
However, if even Shao Meng couldn't resist the wolves, Lu An didn't have the qualifications to resist. It seemed that he was thinking too much. He thought that Lu An would know more. Regardless, the appearance of the black wolves was enough to shock him.
This was no small matter. It wasn't something that the three major alliances could deal with. He had to immediately report it to the City Lord Mansion and get the country to help.
"With so many casualties, our Blood Symbol Alliance has also suffered a great loss." Liu Zhengtang said. He turned to Fang Zhangwen and said, "Get people to comfort their families and give them the most compensation. Don't be stingy."
"Yes." Fang Zhangwen nodded and said, "I will definitely take care of it."
"Also, we need to recruit powerful Heavenly Masters to replenish our strength." Liu Zhengtang continued, "We need to replenish our strength in a short period of time. Otherwise, the impact will be great."
"Yes." Fang Zhangwen said.
"Fortunately, we got the Wanyue Fruit." Liu Zhengtang said in a deep voice, "Shao Meng and the two of them might be able to return. Shao Meng risked his life to get the Wanyue Fruit. Lu An successfully rescued the people. Both of them contributed greatly. I will reward them greatly! "
Lu An heard this and bowed to Liu Zhengtang. "Thank you, Alliance Master."
Liu Zhengtang looked at Lu An and waved his hand. "Alright, you can go and rest. I still have other things to discuss with them."
"Yes." Lu An nodded and turned to leave.
After Lu An left, Liu Lan immediately stood up and said to her father, "Father, I'm leaving too!"
Liu Zhengtang couldn't control his daughter at all. He could only watch her leave and shake his head. At this moment, Lu An still hadn't gone far. Liu Lan immediately chased after Lu An.
"Lu An!" Liu Lan called out. Lu An also stopped and turned to look at Liu Lan.
"Miss," Lu An said.
Liu Lan was stunned when she heard this. She said softly, "Didn't I tell you not to call me Miss? Call me Xiao Lan."
"Miss, it's not good for others to hear. It'll cause misunderstandings," Lu An said. "What's the matter?"
Hearing Lu An's deliberate distancing, Liu Lan lowered her head slightly. However, she still said, "You … Why did you lie just now?"
Lu An was slightly stunned. He frowned and said softly, "If possible, can I go to Miss's place to talk?"
Liu Lan was stunned when she heard this. However, she immediately nodded and said, "Okay."
The two of them walked through the long corridor and quickly arrived at Liu Lan's courtyard. The two of them entered the room. Lu An sat down at the table, but Liu Lan didn't. Instead, she poured tea for Lu An for the first time.
Even Liu Zhengtang had never received such treatment. Of course, Lu An didn't know that.
After placing the tea in front of Lu An, Liu Lan sat down and looked at Lu An with her beautiful eyes.
Lu An took a sip. He thought for a moment and said, "I hope Miss can help me hide what happened last night."
"Why?" Liu Lan was stunned. She hurriedly asked, "You did so much. You risked your life to save us from the wolves. Why don't you say anything?"
"Because I don't want to expose too much." Lu An said softly, "I know Miss must know that the black-clothed man from a month ago was me. At that time, I injured four people. Those four people weren't weak. They should be important figures from various big families. I don't want to get into trouble."
Liu Lan was startled when she heard this. What Lu An said was indeed reasonable. However, she said, "But you are now a member of my Blood Symbol Alliance. Could it be that there is someone who dares to attack the Blood Symbol Alliance?"
"It's better to avoid trouble. I don't want to cause trouble for others." Lu An said, "I hope Miss can agree to let this matter remain a secret between the two of us."
Liu Lan was stunned. Then, her face turned red. However, she didn't agree immediately. Instead, she said, "I can agree, but you have to promise me one thing."
"Please speak, Miss." Lu An said.
"What I want you to do is very simple." Liu Lan looked at Lu An and said softly, "Please call me Xiao Lan in the future."
