Two months later.
Noon, in a branch of the Blood Symbol Union.
Lu An exited from his cultivation. He opened his eyes and looked at the huge office. He let out a light breath and moved his body slightly.
Just three days ago, he had successfully reached the peak of Level 3. In the past two months, his cultivation had not been disturbed at all. His continuous cultivation had finally allowed him to take another step forward.
Of course, it was not only his strength that had improved, but also his age. Just a month ago, he had just passed his 14th birthday.
His birthday was on the 25th of May, and it was now July. When he first entered the Starfire Academy, it was two years ago in June. His birthday had just passed, and now, two years had passed.
In the two years since he had become a Heaven Master, he had experienced many things. He had met many people and traveled to many places. Now that he had reached the peak of Level 3, he had to wholeheartedly break through to Level 4.
In fact, the last step from the peak to the breakthrough was not as troublesome as the previous cultivation. It was more about accumulating enough strength and breaking through in one go. It was not impossible for Lu An to break through now. However, the probability of failure was very high, and it would make future breakthroughs more difficult.
Just as Lu An was immersed in his memories, there was a sudden knock on the door. Lu An was startled. He raised his head and said, "Please come in."
The door was pushed open, and a subordinate walked in. He respectfully said to Lu An, "Deputy Union Master, the Union Master wants you to go to the headquarters. He has something to discuss with you."
Lu An was startled again. He nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
After the subordinate left, Lu An also got up and prepared to leave. Although he did not know why Liu Zhengtang had suddenly looked for him, as he had not disturbed his cultivation for the past two months, he still immediately prepared to go to the headquarters.
The subordinate had already prepared a horse. Lu An mounted it and rushed towards the Blood Symbol Union.
The passersby on the road would all look at Lu An with respect when they saw him riding on a horse. In the past two months, the Blood Symbol Union had become more and more powerful, and had completely surpassed the other two unions. Especially after the Blood Symbol Alliance announced that Liu Lan had become a Level 5 Celestial Master, this news caused an uproar in the entire Black Wolf City. It also directly determined the status of the Blood Symbol Alliance.
As for Lu An, under Lu An's rule, the members of the Blood Symbol Alliance had become extremely well-behaved. Everything they did was within the rules, and even towards ordinary people, they were very polite. Under the leadership of the Blood Symbol Alliance, everyone who had business dealings with them felt very comfortable, and the prestige of the Blood Symbol Alliance grew higher and higher.
Before long, Lu An arrived at the Blood Symbol Alliance's headquarters. He dismounted and entered. The surrounding people all bowed to Lu An. Lu An, on the other hand, went straight upstairs to Liu Zhengtang's office.
After knocking on the door, Liu Zhengtang's voice came from inside.
"Enter!"
Lu An pushed the door open and entered. He was surprised to find that Liu Zhengtang was not alone in the room. Fang Zhangwen and Liu Lan were also there.
"Alliance Master." Lu An cupped his fists.
"You're here. Quickly come in!" Liu Zhengtang smiled and waved his hand, indicating for Lu An to sit down. After Lu An sat down, Liu Zhengtang looked at the three of them and said, "Actually, I called you here today for a very important matter. A new Prefecture Overseer is about to take office in the Southwest Region."
A new Prefecture Overseer?
The three of them trembled and looked at each other. In a large country like the Black Wolf Kingdom, the most powerful person was the Sect Master of the Holy Land, who was a Level 7 Celestial Master. Level 6 Celestial Masters were the Elders of the Holy Land and the various Prefecture Overseers. As for the City Lord, he was a Level 5 Celestial Master. As a member of the Southwest Region, the arrival of a new Prefecture Overseer was naturally a huge matter.
When a new Prefecture Overseer took office, the City Lords of the nine cities in the Southwest Region had to go and congratulate him. Moreover, the main forces of each city had to send congratulatory gifts. This was the rule. Now that the Blood Symbol Alliance was the largest in the Black Wolf City, this matter was naturally unavoidable.
If this matter was not handled well and caused the Prefecture Overseer to hold a grudge, then the losses would outweigh the gains.
"I don't need to say how important this matter is. Three days later, we will go to Wanliang City with the City Lord. At that time, the Blood Symbol Alliance and the Iron Saber Alliance will also go." Liu Zhengtang said in a deep voice, "I will prepare the congratulatory gifts in two days, but I am not going. I will let the three of you go."
As soon as he said this, the three of them trembled. Fang Zhangwen hurriedly said, "If the Alliance Master doesn't go personally, others will definitely gossip about him. The new Prefecture Overseer will also be suspicious of him!"
"That's right. If Father doesn't go, we won't have enough status if we go," Liu Lan hurriedly said.
However, Liu Zhengtang smiled and shook his head, saying, "I'm not going. Who said the Alliance Master isn't going?"
The three of them were stunned again and looked at Liu Zhengtang in astonishment. Liu Zhengtang looked at his daughter with a smile and said, "Tomorrow, I will officially announce that Xiao Lan will be the new Alliance Master of the Blood Symbol Alliance."
Liu Lan's body trembled and she hurriedly said, "But I don't have much experience and am not ready to take over …"
"You have learned a lot in the past two months. Moreover, you grew up in the Blood Symbol Alliance and have been influenced by what you see and hear." Liu Zhengtang smiled and said, "If you still have experience that you don't understand, you can use this opportunity to slowly comprehend it. If you don't become the Alliance Master, you will never have the experience of being the Alliance Master. "
Seeing Liu Zhengtang's determined look, Fang Zhangwen nodded slightly. He thought for a moment and said, "Indeed, the Eldest Miss has completely adapted to her strength in the past two months. She already has enough strength to take over the position of the Alliance Master. She just lacks a bit of experience. If she can represent the Blood Symbol Alliance to Wanliang City, she will probably grow a lot. "
"That's right." Liu Zhengtang smiled and said, "That's what I plan to do."
"But …" Liu Lan was still hesitating. To her, this was too big and too sudden.
At this moment, Fang Zhangwen spoke again and said to Liu Zhengtang, "Alliance Master, why don't I not go as well and let the Eldest Miss and Lu An go? One Alliance Master and one Vice Alliance Master. This kind of lineup should be enough. "
"You're not going as well?" Liu Zhengtang was stunned.
"That's right." Fang Zhangwen nodded and said, "Actually, we haven't experienced a newcomer taking over a Province Overseer before. We don't have any experience in what we should or shouldn't do. At most, I'll just go and help out with some ideas. Lu An has a calm personality and the Eldest Miss is also very mature. Why don't we let the two of them represent the Blood Symbol Alliance? For people of the older generation like us, the Blood Symbol Alliance can just look after our home! "
Liu Zhengtang was stunned for a moment before he laughed and said, "Haha, well said. We've worked hard for our entire lives and should enjoy some good fortune. It's decided then!"
"…"
Liu Lan was speechless as she looked at her father and Fang Zhangwen. With their strength, they were still in the prime of their lives. How could they enjoy some good fortune? They didn't want to do anything and just leave it to others!
After laughing, Liu Zhengtang looked at Lu An and asked, "Lu An, what do you think?"
As soon as he said this, the other two also looked at Lu An. For some reason, although Lu An was very young, he gave off a very reliable feeling. Even Fang Zhangwen felt that Lu An's personality didn't match his age at all. It was as if he was someone who had been through many hardships for many years.
Lu An thought for a moment before saying, "It would be best if Alliance Head Fang could go. After all, he would definitely have more experience in dealing with big matters like this than us. The chances of him making a mistake would be very small. However, it would also be fine if the Eldest Miss and I went. As long as we know our place and do all the necessary etiquette, there shouldn't be any problems. "
"Mm." Liu Zhengtang nodded and said, "Then it's decided. Xiao Lan and Lu An, the two of you will represent the Blood Symbol Alliance. However, Xiao Lan, although you're the Alliance Head, you have to listen to Lu An's opinion. If there's any unexpected situation, you have to listen to Lu An's arrangements first. Don't act on your own, understand? "
Liu Lan wouldn't joke about such an important matter. She nodded and said, "Yes, Father."
"Alright, the two of you can go first. I'll prepare the congratulatory gifts for the two of you." Liu Zhengtang waved his hand and said, "The two of you can go and tidy yourselves up. This time, you might have to stay in Wanliang City for a few days. Every day, you'll have to wear different kinds of clothes. The two of you can study them yourselves."
"Yes." Liu Lan and Lu An said in unison.
