However, Xiaotong did not kneel down.
When she was kneeling down halfway, an invisible force suddenly lifted her up, allowing her to stand straight again. Yao Yao and Xu Li were startled. Although Xu Li was not a Heavenly Master, she knew that it was definitely Lu An's doing.
"I've said it before. You're my friend, not my maid." Lu An looked at Xiaotong and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since we last met. You couldn't have forgotten all these, right?"
Xiaotong was startled. Her teary eyes were obviously stunned. Indeed, Lu An had said such words to her many times. It was also because of Lu An's change in her that she was able to break away from her maid identity and reach this stage. However, in her heart, Lu An had always been her master.
"Both of you, don't keep standing. Quickly sit down." Lu An pointed at the empty seats on the large table and said with a smile.
Xu Li knew that there were many people watching them. She also knew that Lu An was a very low-key person, so she brought Xiaotong and sat down together. Very quickly, servants served more delicacies, and the four of them began to chat.
As they knew each other before, even if they met again, they quickly became familiar with each other. After chatting for a while, when she heard that Lu An And Yao had just arrived in Nanhai City, Xu Li could not help but say, "Since you've just boarded the ship, you must not know where we're going, right?"
Lu An was startled when he heard that. He asked curiously, "Is it different from before?"
"Of course it's different." Xu Li said with a smile, "The previous route was filled with pirates and venomous snakes. Who would dare to take it? Even that family's ship industry was completely destroyed. Now, that family has opened up a new route. It takes twenty days to go back and forth. Four of those days will be spent on a very, very large island. That island is the newest one that has been developed in the past two years. "
Lu An was slightly startled when he heard that. He asked, "It's so far away and it's so big. Will there be any problems on the island?"
"Don't worry. There will definitely be no problems this time." Xu Li smiled confidently and said, "This island has been checked from beginning to end. There are no poisonous snakes or strange beasts. After two years of transformation, we have planted many beautiful plants and raised many animals on the island. It is a very suitable island for a vacation."
Lu An nodded after hearing Xu Li's explanation. If that was the case, then he could be at ease.
"Not only has the island been searched, but we also have more Celestial Masters than before." Xu Li continued, "There are three Level 2 Celestial Masters and ten Level 1 Celestial Masters on the ship. Even if we encounter pirates, we won't be afraid! Moreover, wasn't Young Master also a Heavenly Master? This trip out to sea will be even more foolproof. "
Lu An frowned and asked, "What about the Heaven Fiend Pirates? Don't they have a Level 3 Celestial Master? "
"Yes, but ever since the previous incident, the Heaven Fiend Pirate Group has kept a low profile. It's rare to hear any news about them." Xu Li said seriously, "For the past two years, the Tian Sha Pirate Group has only robbed a few small merchant ships. They didn't dare to touch a large merchant ship. Many people guessed that their leader had died in an accident. After all, anything can happen at sea. "
Died?
Lu An nodded. He had long forgotten about the Heaven Fiend Pirate Group. If he hadn't met Xu Li again, he probably wouldn't have thought about it.
After chatting with the two of them for a while, dinner was finally over. Lu An And Yao wanted to go back to cultivate. Originally, Xiaotong wanted to follow Lu An and serve Lu An like before. However, she was rejected by Lu An.
Lu An didn't say why, but Xiaotong could feel it clearly. Although Lu An was still as close to her as before, there was a sense of estrangement. She knew that her Young Master was rejecting her feelings.
Lu An And Yao returned to their rooms and closed the door. Lu An continued to cultivate. It had been more than three months since he had broken through to become a Level 5 Celestial Master. However, he was still stuck at the beginning stage of Level 5. To him, this was something that he had never experienced before. In his heart, he had more important things to do. He didn't want anything to delay his cultivation.
The urgency in his heart caused Lu An to not rest for seven whole days. Other than a simple meal, he didn't go out again. It was exactly the same as the last time he went out to sea. Naturally, Xu Li and Xiaotong knew Lu An's routine. They were also very curious as to what level Lu An's cultivation was at now.
Finally, on the morning of the eighth day, when the ship was about to reach the island, Lu An opened his eyes and let out a long sigh. After a few days of hard work, he had finally touched the bottleneck of Level 5 Mid-Stage. He estimated that he would be able to break through in the next four days on the island.
With an idea in his heart, Lu An was able to take a breather. He walked to the top of the ship and looked at the island with Yao Yao. This island was indeed very big. Looking from left to right, it was probably about twenty miles away. There were many buildings on the beach that welcomed the ship. There were all kinds of food, drinks, and entertainment. Everyone on the ship came to the deck. Even though it was early in the morning, they were cheering at the rising sun.
Under the radiance of the rising sun, the ship quickly docked at one side of the beach. The people on the ship immediately ran down from the ship and cheered on the beach.
It wasn't just the beach. Even the seawater outside the beach had many things to play with. What was even more surprising was that the temperature on this island wasn't too cold. It was going to be winter soon. However, this island was actually as warm as summer.
"Strange," Lu An frowned slightly. He stood on the beach and looked at the huge island in front of him. He didn't move.
"What's wrong?" Yao Yao who was beside him also stopped and asked.
"This island is a little strange." Lu An frowned and said, "Although I don't understand the climate, if it's because of the climate, the ship should be as hot as this when we were approaching. However, we only felt like this when we reached the island. I'm afraid it's because of this island. "
Yao Yao was startled. She didn't think so much when she came to sightsee. However, after hearing what Lu An said, it was indeed very strange. In the eyes of experts, there was no such thing as' coincidence 'in this world. This island was so different, which meant that there was really something different about this island.
"However, Little Tong said that this island has already been developed for a year. There shouldn't be any problems if nothing happened for a year, right?" Yao Yao pondered for a moment and said, "If we want to find the reason for this island's heat, I'm afraid it won't be a simple matter. Furthermore, we're only going to stay here for four days. If we were to look for it, we won't have the chance to have fun anymore."
Lu An was startled when he heard this. He looked at Yao Yao and nodded. Indeed, sometimes he was a little too sensitive, to the point that he would treat everything as an enemy. His purpose of coming here was to accompany Yao Yao, and not to find the problem with this island.
"Then let's go to the beach and take a look." Lu An smiled and said softly.
"That's right!" Yao Yao happily said.

A hundred miles to the east of the island, there were three large black ships moving forward at an extremely fast speed.
On the three large ships, everyone's attire was very uniform. They were all dressed in black and were extremely neat. Everyone's clothes were embroidered with a fierce eagle, just like the huge eagle on the sails of the ships.
There were a total of five hundred people on the three large ships. Everyone was holding a large sword in their hands. The swords were stained with blood, as if the metal of the swords had been completely soaked in blood. The three large ships were emitting a bloody and terrifying aura. Everyone's expression was very serious, and they were prepared to start a massacre at any time.
At this moment, a person walked out from the middle of the large ship and onto the deck. This person's attire was different from the others. He was wearing dark red clothes. He did not have a sword in his hand, but after he appeared, he immediately became the center of everyone's attention.
At this moment, a very strong man with a scar on his face ran from the side. He stopped beside this person and said respectfully, "Boss, we'll reach Warm Summer Island in another hundred miles."
The man in red nodded and looked forward. Although they were a hundred miles apart, with his strength, he could already see the island a hundred miles away.
"Pass down my order. Full speed ahead. Everyone, prepare for battle. We must take it down quickly. I don't want the same thing to happen three years ago. "The man in red said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" The scarred man immediately nodded and turned to leave quickly to pass down the order.
After giving the order, the man in red walked forward until he reached the bow of the ship. He crossed the railing and stood at the edge, letting the whistling sea breeze blow on his body.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he was enjoying it. However, after three breaths, his face suddenly revealed an evil and strange smile. At the same time, the meridians and skin on his face turned slightly red!
"I haven't appeared for two whole years. It's time to let this ocean know who the real master is."
As he said that, the man in red slowly opened his eyes. This pair of eyes was actually redder than blood!
