Seven days later, Lu An returned to the Great Desolate City.
To be honest, for the past seven days, Liu Li was left alone in the Great Desolate City. Although she was protected by the inn, Lu An was still somewhat worried. After all, he promised to protect Liu Li for three months. If something happened to her, he would not be at ease.
However, when Lu An returned to the inn and saw the scene in front of him, he realized how wrong he was and how unnecessary his worries were. He saw that in the lobby of the inn, a group of big men were gathered together. They were not drinking and chatting. Instead, they were sitting quietly and listening to Liu Li.
Liu Li was a princess, so what she was talking about was naturally the things that happened in the palace. Obviously, Liu Li did not hide her identity these past few days. Instead, she was talking about all kinds of interesting things that happened in the palace. This made these people who had never been to the palace look forward to it. When they heard something interesting, they laughed and even clapped their hands. Their excited appearance made them happier than drinking.
One must know that the people who could eat and drink in the inn were not ordinary people in the Great Desolate City. After all, the wine and meat here were very expensive. Liu Li, who was talking excitedly, suddenly saw Lu An standing in the lobby. She could not help but be surprised. Especially when she saw Lu An frowning, her heart tightened. She quickly said to everyone, "Wait, my boss is back!"
Everyone was stunned. Then, they saw Liu Li running to Lu An's side. Liu Li happily said, "Boss, you're back?"
Hearing the word 'boss', Lu An frowned even more. On the way here from Gu Juanguo, Liu Li wanted to call him master many times, but after being sternly rejected by him, she did not dare to call him master again. She also wanted to call him by other names, but she was rejected by Lu An one by one. Lu An asked her to only call him by his name and not by anything else.
However, it was obvious that Liu Li had learned a lot of ruffian manners in the Great Desolate City during the week. Looking at Liu Li like this, Lu An frowned and said coldly, "What did I tell you to call me?"
"…" Seeing that Lu An was about to get angry, Liu Li shrank her neck in fear and quickly said, "Lu An."
Lu An glanced at the crowd in the distance, then looked at Liu Li and said coldly, "Go upstairs."
After saying that, Lu An walked upstairs. Liu Li didn't dare to disobey Lu An. She quietly made a gesture to the men in the lobby to disperse and obediently followed Lu An upstairs. Back in his room, Lu An looked at Liu Li with a solemn expression.
"Didn't I tell you that you are not allowed to tell others that you are a princess?" Lu An asked in a deep voice.
Looking at the serious look on Lu An's face, Liu Li also had a rebellious mentality in her heart. She unhappily said, "I just asked you to protect me, not to discipline me. You're just a bodyguard I hired. You should listen to me. Why are you so talkative? "
Lu An was startled when he heard this. He looked at Liu Li with some astonishment.
Being stared at by Lu An like this, Liu Li was also shocked. She realized that she had just contradicted Lu An and quickly apologized.
However, Lu An opened his mouth first and said, "I'm sorry, I went too far."
Liu Li was right. Liu Li was the employer, and he was the hired person. He did not have the qualifications to restrict Liu Li. He was a little too nervous, or too concerned about the safety of the two of them. He selfishly asked Liu Li to do something that she didn't have to do.
"You can do whatever you want, as long as you don't leave my sight." Lu An looked at Liu Li and said quietly, "If you want to stay in the inn, I will pay for you."
Seeing the sudden change in Lu An's attitude, Liu Li found it difficult to adapt for a while. However, since Lu An did not make her angry, she was relieved. She said, "I'm too bored. I'll be here alone for the New Year. What else can I do but find some people to spend it with?"
Lu An nodded when he heard this and asked, "They don't have any ill intentions towards you, right?"
"What ill intentions? After hearing that I'm a princess, they all wanted to recognize me as their boss!" Liu Li laughed and said happily, "There are even Level 4 Celestial Masters among the people who want to recognize me as their boss. I've taken in so many underlings in such a short time. I'm amazing, right? We're going to set up a force, but we haven't thought of a name yet. Why don't you help us think of a name? "
Lu An was stunned. He did not expect so many things to happen in the few days that he was away. However, he did not take such casual things seriously. Dili Reba Pang Fei said casually, "Let's use your name."
"My name?" Liu Li was stunned and asked, "How do I use it?"
"Lapis Lazuli." Lu An wrote on the table with his finger, "Lapis Lazuli Palace."
"Lapis Lazuli Palace?" Liu Li looked at the name Lu An wrote on the table and could not help but laugh happily, "Okay, I'll listen to you. We'll call it Lapis Lazuli Palace!"
After saying that, Liu Li turned and ran out. As she ran, she said, "I'm going to tell them now. Wait for me!"
Seeing Liu Li so excited, Lu An naturally did not stop her. Liu Li soon returned and ran to Lu An and said, "They like this name too. They said that although it's not quite the same as their rough and burly appearance, it's rare for them to be so elegant. They actually think that they're refined scholars!"
Hearing Liu Li's words, Lu An smiled and said, "Since you're happy here, you can stay here. I'll pay for it later."
"What about you?" Liu Li asked, "You're not staying here?"
"I won't." Lu An shook his head and said, "There are all kinds of people here. They'll disturb my cultivation. Don't worry, I won't be too far away. If something happens to you, I'll rush over immediately. I won't let anything happen to you. "
Hearing Lu An's words, Liu Li could not help but feel a little disappointed. However, being able to meet so many new friends also made Liu Li feel happy. She had always been used to staying in the palace, but now, she felt happier and freer here than when she was in the palace. She felt that she had already fallen in love with this place.
After settling Liu Li down, Lu An left the inn and found a deserted ruin nearby. He built a simple house and concentrated on his cultivation. This period of time had already delayed his cultivation time. It had already been more than a month since he had reached Level 5 Intermediate. However, he had made little progress, which made him feel guilty.
Sitting on the bed, Lu An closed his eyes and began to cultivate. This cultivation session lasted for a full seven days. During these seven days, Liu Li's every move was within his Scorching Sun Nine Suns perception. During these few days, Liu Li stayed with that group of people during the day. It really seemed like they were discussing something important together.
On the morning of the eighth day, Lu An finally left the house and prepared to go to the inn to see Liu Li. When he entered the inn, Liu Li was discussing something with the others. This time, it was not just the burly men. Even the inn owner and the waiter were gathered together to join in the fun.
Seeing Lu An appear, Liu Li immediately stood up and waved at Lu An. She shouted loudly, "Lu An, come over quickly!"
Immediately, everyone looked at Lu An. Liu Li did not tell them about Lu An's identity. They only knew that he was Liu Li's friend. Of course, they did not know about Lu An's strength. Lu An walked towards Liu Li and asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm planning the future of the Glazed Tile Palace!" Liu Li said excitedly, "Now that the Glazed Tile Palace has begun to take shape, everyone here is an elder. Of course, the Palace Master will naturally be me, the princess!"
Seeing Liu Li's happy expression, Lu An also smiled and said, "Congratulations."
"How about it? Do you want to come? I can also let you be the Deputy Palace Master!" Liu Li tempted, "They're fighting for the position of Deputy Palace Master. This is a great opportunity!"
Lu An was stunned when he heard this. Sure enough, he noticed that the others were looking at him with hostility. He could not help but smile bitterly and said, "Forget about me. What's the Glazed Tile Palace's plan next?"
"We've been discussing this matter for the past few days!" Liu Li hurriedly said, "They've given me a lot of suggestions, especially after knowing the truth about the change in the royal family. They all want me to take back the throne and become the first queen of the Gu Juan Kingdom. What do you think?"
Hearing Liu Li's words, Lu An could not help but be stunned. He said, "It's not that easy to fight against a country."
"That's why we have to continue to develop the Glazed Tile Palace's power!" Liu Li quickly said, "We're going to unify the Great Wilderness City first, then the entire Shikukan Desert. Then, we'll send people to infiltrate the Gu Juan Kingdom's palace and start to disintegrate the enemy from the inside. We'll work together from the inside and outside and take back the throne in one fell swoop! "
Lu An could not help but be a little stunned when he heard Liu Li's plan. However, although it sounded difficult, it was not impossible. He said, "Okay, then you'll have to hurry up."
"That's right!" Liu Li suddenly slapped a pile of straw papers on the table and said seriously, "So, we're going to hold a martial arts competition next and recruit knowledgeable people to join the Glazed Tile Palace!"
