Two days later, at the north gate of Black Wolf City.
A large group of carriages was ready to set off. Everyone was in high spirits and had a majestic aura.
The first was the City Lord's Mansion's carriage, which was personally led by the City Lord. Following closely behind was the Blood Symbol Alliance's carriage, which was led by Liu Lan. Behind them were the carriages of the Sacrificial Blood Alliance and the Iron Saber Alliance. Apart from these three alliances, the other alliances did not go because they did not have the qualifications.
When the time came, the City Lord's Mansion's people immediately set off. The people of the three alliances immediately followed behind them. They were on their way to congratulate the new Prefecture Overseer.
Liu Lan sat in the carriage, and so did Lu An. After all, the two of them were Alliance Masters. Due to their status, they could not appear on horseback.
Inside the carriage, Liu Lan was dressed beautifully and luxuriously, while Lu An's clothes were solemn and serious. These clothes were made by the tailors of the alliance over the past two days. They were very suitable for such an occasion.
Lu An rarely wore such formal clothes, but he was not uncomfortable with them. To him, they were just clothes. However, these clothes were indeed more comfortable and looked better.
Liu Lan, who was sitting opposite him, was even more radiant. Her collarbones were fully exposed, and half of her shoulders were exposed. The atmosphere between the two in the narrow carriage was very subtle.
"Have you memorized the congratulatory message?" Liu Lan suddenly asked.
Lu An was startled. He nodded and said, "I have."
"When we reach Wanliang City, try to speak as much as possible. I will try to speak as little as possible. I am afraid that I will always say the wrong things and offend the Prefecture Overseer," Liu Lan said.
"Okay," Lu An said. "I will try my best to help you."
The carriages hurried on. When it was noon, the carriages stopped. Everyone had to eat lunch. The long carriages stretched for several kilometers on the official road. Although there was no need for so many people, they had to do so to show their importance.
The chefs started cooking. Liu Lan and Lu An also left the carriage for a walk. There was an endless plain on both sides of the official road. Just as the two of them walked out of the official road and took a stroll on the grass, they heard footsteps behind them.
Liu Lan and Lu An turned their heads and saw that the newcomers were none other than Wan Kedong, the Alliance Master of the Sacrificial Blood Alliance, and Song Ge, the Alliance Master of the Iron Saber Alliance.
Lu An was no longer a newcomer to Black Wolf City. Naturally, he recognized these two people. Wan Kedong cupped his hands and smiled as he said to Liu Lan, "Greetings, Alliance Master Liu!"
Song Ge also cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Alliance Leader Liu!"
Hearing this, Liu Lan was slightly stunned. Then, she smiled and said, "You're too kind, Alliance Leaders."
"Two days ago, Elder Cousin announced that he would give the position of Alliance Head to you. We originally wanted to pay him a visit to congratulate him, but as you know, this trip to Wanliang City was too sudden. We could only prepare a congratulatory gift in a hurry." Song Ge said with a smile, "Let's go together and take this opportunity to congratulate you. Although it's a little simple, don't be offended!"
"Uncle Song, what are you talking about?" Liu Lan smiled and said, "I used to go to the Iron Saber Alliance to play, and I was always indebted to you for taking care of me. How could I blame you?"
"Being able to call us uncles really makes us feel happy and ashamed!" Wan Kedong shook his head and said, "The new generation excels the old. I really didn't expect you to have come this far. Look at that kid in my family. He's really a good-for-nothing!"
"That's right!" Song Ge also looked very uncomfortable and said, "Our family has such a big business. I don't feel at ease leaving it to him."
Hearing this, Liu Lan smiled and said, "Uncles, you're thinking too much. I was also fortunate enough to receive the inheritance and have a meteoric rise. The two Young Masters are still young. There are plenty of opportunities."
"I hope so." Wan Kedong sighed and looked at Lu An, who was behind Liu Lan. After thinking for a while, he said, "This should be the first time I've seen Alliance Head Lu at such a close distance, right?"
Hearing this, Lu An smiled, cupped his hands, and said, "Greetings, Alliance Leaders."
"Looking at you at such a close distance, Alliance Head Lu is really a talent." Wan Kedong sighed and said, "Although Alliance Head Lu hasn't been famous for long, everything he does is earth-shattering."
Hearing someone praise Lu An, Liu Lan could not help but feel happy. She was even happier than being praised. She said, "In terms of talent, I'm far from Lu An's. He's the one who truly cultivated step by step to this level. Even the inheritance was given to me by him."
"There's such a thing?" The two Alliance Leaders were shocked. There was actually someone in this world who would give away their inheritance?
"It's just that our attributes are different." Lu An smiled and said, "I'm the Ice and Fire Heavenly Master, and my inheritance is of the metal attribute. That's why I gave it to Alliance Leader."
Hearing this, Wan Kedong and Song Ge looked at each other and saw the disbelief in each other's eyes. Even if their attributes were different, they could still receive the inheritance. It was just that they would have to fight with the inheritance's attributes in the future. This was not a big deal. It was obvious which was more important when compared to obtaining great strength. In their opinion, this was a very lousy excuse.
Just as the four of them were chatting, two people suddenly walked over from afar. They were none other than the two Alliance Leaders' sons, Wan Chong and Song Qian.
The two of them ran over and said to their father, "Father."
"Why aren't you greeting them?" Wan Kedong frowned and said to the two of them.
Wan Chong and Song Qian were stunned. They looked at Liu Lan and Lu An and saw the two of them frowning. Clearly, they were unwilling to accept this. They said, "Greetings, Alliance Leader Liu … and Alliance Leader Lu."
They were indeed unwilling to accept this. Clearly, Liu Lan was the same as them before, and Lu An was bullied by them. Now, the sudden difference made them unwilling to believe or admit it. However, this was the reality. Although they did not want to admit it, they could only be more respectful than before.
"Alliance Leaders, if the two of them have offended you in the past, please forgive them," Song Ge said to the two of them with a smile.
Liu Lan and Lu An both nodded. Liu Lan said, "Uncle Song, our three Alliances have always been very harmonious. I'm also friends with them. There's no such thing as offending them."
Hearing Liu Lan's words, Wan Kedong and Song Ge relaxed. They knew how much of a jerk their son could be. Since Liu Lan did not hold a grudge and even said the three Alliances, it meant that Liu Lan did not intend to destroy them.
At that moment, Wan Chong said, "Father, the City Lord wants the three of you to go."
City Lord?
The three of them looked at each other. Wan Kedong said, "I understand."
Following this, Wan Kedong looked at Liu Lan and said, "Alliance Leader Liu, let's go together!"
Hearing this, Liu Lan thought for a moment. She turned to Lu An and said, "Lu An, come with me."
Lu An was stunned. He turned to look at Liu Lan and saw a pleading look in Liu Lan's eyes. He nodded and said, "Okay."
Although she wanted the three Alliance Leaders to go, Liu Lan wanted to bring Lu An along. The other two naturally did not say anything. The four of them walked to the front of the carriages and soon arrived in front of the City Lord's carriage.
The City Lord's carriage was the most luxurious. It was a huge carriage pulled by six horses. It was big enough for many people to sit inside. After notifying the City Lord, the four of them entered the carriage.
The interior of the carriage was like a small meeting hall. The City Lord looked at the four of them and said with a smile, "Take a seat."
The City Lord's name was Guo Hancheng. He had been in charge of Black Wolf City for 20 years. He was older and more experienced than the three Alliance Leaders. Therefore, Wan Kedong and Song Ge were very respectful when they saw him, let alone Liu Lan and Lu An.
After the four of them sat down, City Lord Guo looked at Liu Lan and said with a smile, "First, I have to congratulate you on becoming the new Alliance Leader of the Blood Symbol Alliance. With you, the Blood Symbol Alliance's future will be bright."
Hearing this, Liu Lan smiled and said softly, "I'm sorry, City Lord."
"I'm just speaking the truth." City Lord Guo waved his hand. Then, he looked at Lu An and said, "Alliance Leader Lu is also a young talent. With him assisting you, the Blood Symbol Alliance will have a hard time."
"Thank you for the compliment, City Lord." Lu An cupped his hands and said.
City Lord Guo smiled and waved his hand. Then, he looked at the four of them. His expression changed, and he became very serious. He took a deep breath and said, "I called you here to tell you about the new Prefecture Overseer."
When the four of them heard this, their expressions all became serious. If they could know more about the Prefecture Overseer, it would be better for them to avoid making mistakes.
"The new Prefecture Overseer's name is Zhang Tianwu. He used to be from Wanliang City. This is also why he chose to work in Wanliang City." City Lord Guo said seriously, "When he was young, he entered the Heavenly Wolf Holy Land. From a disciple to an Elder, he never left the mountain, nor did he ask for an official position. It was only when he became a Level Six Heavenly Master that he left the mountain and became the Southwest Region's Prefecture Overseer. "
Someone from Wanliang City?
The three Alliance Leaders frowned. If that was the case, Wanliang City would probably rise in the Southwest Region!
"Not only that." City Lord Guo suddenly frowned and said in a deep voice, "I heard that the new Prefecture Overseer is a martial arts maniac."
