After returning to his residence, Lu An continued to cultivate.
It had been almost three months since he had reached mid-stage Level 5. Because he had spent a lot of time on the road, he had probably spent more time cultivating than before. With his current speed, he would need at least one and a half months to reach late-stage Level 5. This speed made Lu An feel pressured.
His thoughts were not on Great Desolation City or Glazed Tile Palace. His thoughts were completely on Purple Lake City. The war there was what he should be participating in. He had only come here to cultivate. Once he became a Level 6 Heavenly Master, he would immediately return to Purple Lake City and would not stay any longer.
As for dealing with the Maleficent Army today, it was not only to protect Liu Li, but also because he knew that these maleficent beings deserved to die. If he could do some good, he would be very happy.
Winter had passed and spring had arrived. What surprised Lu An was that Glazed Tile Palace's speed of development was far beyond his imagination. After another half a month, other than Great Desolation City, the other four cities in the Shiku Kan Desert had also expressed their willingness to join Glazed Tile Palace. At the same time, more than half of the maleficent beings in the desert had been eliminated in half a month. Even those that were not eliminated had run away and did not dare to appear again.
At this point, Glazed Tile Palace had used only one and a half months to almost completely unify the Shiku Kan Desert. This news shocked all the countries that bordered the Shiku Kan Desert. How could the emergence of such a huge force not worry these countries? But fortunately, Glazed Tile Palace had not announced the establishment of a country and was still just a force. In addition to Glazed Tile Palace's actions against the maleficent beings, the surrounding countries were more tolerant of them. Especially after Liu Li's identity was gradually exposed, the people of the other countries had the mentality of watching from the sidelines.
The rise of Glazed Tile Palace naturally made Gu Juan Country's royal family, or rather, Liu Jiuguang, the most uneasy. When his sister escaped from the palace that day, he did not pay much attention to it. After all, what could a woman do? But now, he knew that he was wrong, and very wrong at that.
In the study of Gu Juan Country's royal palace, Liu Jiuguang sat on a chair with a frown on his face. More and more news about Glazed Glass Palace arrived, causing him to become more and more frustrated. After all, Liu Li was his biological sister and the daughter of the late King. If she came forward and said something, even the people of the Holy Land might believe it.
He killed his father, seized the throne, and murdered his younger brother. Once these things were made public, not to mention the people of Gu Juan Country, even the people of the Holy Lands would never let him off!
There were two other people standing in the study. One of them was Liu Jiuguang's trusted aide, who had also participated in the series of actions. Liu Jiuguang looked up at the two of them and asked, "Do you two have any ideas?"
Hearing this, the two of them looked at each other, and one of them said, "The best thing to do now is to send someone to the Grand Desolate City to make peace with the princess and persuade her not to do anything out of line. For this, we can give her some benefits."
"What benefits?" Liu Jiuguang frowned and asked, "She used to be a princess and now she's the Palace Lord of Glass Palace. What can we give her?"
"This …"
At this moment, the other person suddenly thought of something and said to Liu Jiuguang, "Your Majesty, we can take the initiative to show our weakness and express our sincerity. We can even express our regret for what we've done in the past … We can invite the princess into the palace and say that you want to take the initiative to admit your mistakes. When that time comes, as long as the princess enters the palace, her life and death will no longer be up to her! When that time comes, Glazed Glass Palace will be leaderless. Without the princess' special identity, it will only be a plate of loose sand in the end! "
Hearing this, Liu Jiuguang's eyes suddenly lit up, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips. His adorable younger brother had been tricked into being killed. It seemed like his younger sister would not be able to escape this fate.
However, he still felt a little heartache about torturing his adorable younger sister to death.

Seven days later, in Grand Desolate City.
In the City Lord's residence, the people of Glazed Glass Palace were discussing how to further strengthen their position in the desert. Although the desert had basically stabilized now, there were still many malefactors roaming about and committing crimes. These people had no regard for their own lives to begin with, and even played guerilla warfare with Glazed Glass Palace. Eliminating these malefactors was the top priority.
Once the malefactors were completely eliminated, Glazed Glass Palace would have no more worries in the desert. The Level Six Heavenly Masters of the various countries would not easily come to Grand Desolate City to attack them. This was a tacit understanding between the various countries. The reason was very simple. A Level Six Heavenly Master was more powerful than thousands of soldiers and horses. As the desert was a land without a master, the armies of the various countries would not enter. Otherwise, it would be seen as starting a war.
After more than two months of training, Liu Li's personality had changed a lot. She used to do whatever she wanted, but now, she had learned to consider the possibilities and consequences. She was becoming more and more like a leader and decision-maker. This made the other four Deputy Palace Lords very pleased.
As for Lu An, he was still cultivating and never took the initiative to come to the City Lord's residence. It was always Liu Li who went to look for him.
In the morning, just as the people of Glazed Glass Palace were having a meeting, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside. Following that, a person appeared at the entrance of the meeting hall. He panted and hurriedly said to everyone, "Reporting to the Palace Lord, Gu Juanguo's envoy requests an audience!"
Gu Juanguo's envoy?
Everyone in the room instantly frowned. They knew very well what the Palace Lord wanted to do. Why would Gu Juanguo send an envoy at this time?
Everyone looked at Liu Li, only to see her frowning. She took a deep breath and said sternly, "Let him wait in the main hall!"
"Yes!" The servant immediately replied and left quickly.
"Palace Lord, I'm afraid he's not here with good intentions!" Yan Dingjiang immediately said, "Our Glazed Glass Palace has just been formed and they've already sent someone here. They obviously don't have good intentions."
"Yes, I'm afraid he feels that our Glazed Glass Palace is a threat to them. That's why he sent someone here." Wang Quansheng also immediately nodded and said, "No matter what the envoy says later, Palace Lord must not easily agree or reject, lest you fall into their trap!"
Hearing the two Deputy Palace Lords' words, Liu Li nodded and said, "No matter what his motive is, I can't refuse to see the envoy. Otherwise, we'll seem too petty. Let's go and see what he has to say! "
Soon, Liu Li arrived at the main hall and sat on the high seat. Following her were four other Deputy Palace Lords. They stood on both sides of the stage and looked at the envoy in the main hall.
The envoy wore an official's robe and looked very grand. When Liu Li saw this person's face, she could not help but frown. She sneered and said, "I remember you. You're my brother's lackey."
The envoy was not angry when he heard this. Instead, he smiled and said, "I haven't seen Princess for a few months. It's my honor to see Princess here today. The King also misses Princess very much and hopes that Princess can visit him more often on account of our sibling relationship. "
"Sibling relationship?" Liu Li frowned even more and said sternly, "I know very well how he treated Second Brother that night. How dare he talk about our sibling relationship? Cut the crap. What does he want you to pass on? "
Hearing Liu Li's growing anger, the envoy still smiled and bowed. "The King wants to invite Princess to the Imperial City to resolve the misunderstanding. He wants to drink and chat merrily with Princess and discuss the future of Gu Juanguo and Glazed Glass Palace."
As he spoke, the envoy looked up at the Princess and said with a smile, "The King also said that if Princess really thinks that he has done something outrageous, you can stab him to death with your sword and he won't retaliate. When the time comes, Princess will inherit the throne and become the first Queen in Gu Juanguo's history. "
Hearing the envoy's words, the four Deputy Palace Masters were shocked. Their brows furrowed even more as they looked at the Palace Master on the high seat. They were all experienced people. This was obviously a trap. If the Palace Master came to the Imperial City, then no matter how capable the people of Glazed Glass Palace were, they couldn't attack a country to save someone!
"Palace Master, don't go!" Yan Dingjiang immediately said, "They definitely don't have good intentions!"
"That's right!" Wang Quansheng immediately seconded. He looked at the envoy and said, "Since your King is so sincere, why didn't he come to our Great Wilderness City himself? Why did he insist on having the Palace Master go to your Imperial City?"
"You must be joking." The envoy smiled and said, "Our King is very busy every day. Although the sibling relationship is very important, he can't ignore his people. If something happens, Gu Juanguo will be in danger. "
"What a joke!" Wang Quansheng said loudly, "I think Gu Juanguo can only change for the better if he dies!"
When the envoy heard Wang Quansheng cursing the King, his face immediately changed. He pointed at Wang Quansheng and said, "You dare to insult my King? This is simply … "
"Shut up!!"
Suddenly, Liu Li shouted in a stern voice. Everyone's body trembled, and even the envoy immediately shut his mouth. He didn't dare to show off in this Big Huang City. The people here might really disregard etiquette and kill him directly.
However, just as he was worried about his life, Liu Li suddenly said from the high seat, "Tell Liu Jiuguang that I will go."
