If it was just an ordinary little girl, I wouldn't take it to heart, but she was a person with two souls in one body. Who knew if the two sisters were related?
When Xu Mucheng heard Yan An's question, her body stiffened suddenly, and a trace of astonishment flashed across her originally calm face, but she quickly returned to normal.
The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile. "My sister is my sister, and I am me. We are two different souls, and naturally she doesn't represent my thoughts."
Yan An nodded lightly, a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes, "I see, it seems that I was overthinking it."
Xu Muqing nodded slightly and stood up from the chair with an elegant and calm movement. "Since there is nothing else to ask, let's take our leave."
Lu Cheng stood up and asked, "Why did the president of the association leave so soon? We haven't even prepared a banquet for him yet."
"No need, I have something important to attend to." Xu Mucheng waved his hand and declined.
However, several elders of the Lu family tried to persuade Xu Mucheng to stay with them, and their words were sincere, hoping that he could stay and have dinner with them.
But no matter how they persuaded him, Xu Mucheng remained unmoved and insisted on leaving.
In the sky, white cranes tens of meters in size flapped their wings gracefully and flew slowly from afar.
The people from the Alchemy Association jumped onto the broad back of the white crane and said goodbye to everyone: "Everyone, we say goodbye today. We will see you again in the future!"
Lu Cheng smiled and waved in response: "Goodbye, everyone is welcome to visit my Lu family when you are free."
After the white crane flapped its wings and flew high, disappearing into the sky, Lu Cheng turned to look at Lu Jingzhi and Yan An behind him.
"Yan An, Jing Zhi, the food is ready, let's go in and eat."
"good."
Afterwards, Lu Cheng led everyone in the Lu family into the spacious and bright dining room, and everyone sat down at the large round table in turn.
"Xiaolan, go call some helpers and bring two boxes of spiritual fruit wine over." Lu Cheng ordered.
Xiaolan nodded slightly, turned and left. She called a few helpers and walked towards the wine cellar together.
Dishes were served, steaming hot and emitting an enticing aroma.
Soon, the dishes filled the entire table, making people salivate.
At the same time, Xiaolan and several Lu family members came over with two boxes of wine and placed the wine on each table.
They opened the bottles and the aroma of wine filled the air.
Lu Cheng raised his glass and said loudly: "We are gathered together today, let's toast together!"
Everyone responded, clinking their glasses together, making crisp clinking sounds.
Then everyone drank it all in one gulp.
After a few drinks, the atmosphere became more lively, everyone started talking and laughing, and the laughter echoed in the dining room.
Lu Jingzhi would occasionally put food into Yan An's bowl, and sometimes talk to her in a low voice.
Yan An drank a glass of spiritual fruit wine, her face flushed slightly, and she looked particularly charming.
She blinked her bright eyes and asked curiously, "Uncle Lu, where are Luo Xue and Ke Ke? Why don't I see them?"
"They went to the Monster Forest and may not come back for some time."
"If you miss them, you can send someone to tell them to come back."
Yan An picked up a piece of green vegetables, put it in his mouth and chewed it, then said, "No need to trouble you. In two days, Jing Zhi and I will go to Tianxin Empire."
At this moment, Xiaoya, who was sitting at the next table, suddenly raised her hand and said hesitantly, "Well... well, I want to go too..."
She has been staying in Panping Town in the past few years. Although life here is peaceful and beautiful, deep down she still longs to see and walk around the outside world.
However, upon hearing this, the Second Elder's wife's eyebrows immediately raised and she said sternly, "What if you run into danger out there? There are all kinds of people there!"
Lu Xiaoya explained: "With my sister-in-law by my side, what danger is there?"
The second elder patted his wife's shoulder gently with his chubby hand and said, "Yan'er, just let Xiaoya go."
The Second Elder's wife rolled her eyes at him, "Why go there? There are experts in the Sky-Stepping Realm who are no less powerful than Yan An. Can they protect them?"
"So don't cause them any trouble."
After hearing this, Lu Xiaoya snorted coldly, stood up, and walked out of the house without even eating.
"Alas... this child..."
At this time, Yan An said, "Third Aunt, it shouldn't be a problem for me to protect her."
"How can I have the nerve to cause you trouble? You're not going to the competition to have fun."
"It's okay, it's just Jing's competition, not me."
"Shall I go too? Sister...Sister Yan An." Meng Zan, who had been silent on the side, raised his hand and said, "It just so happens that I can protect Xiaoya."
Seeing Meng Zan was about to go, Ye Wu also raised his hand, "I want to go too, and protect Xiaoya's safety."
Lu Jingzhi, who was eating pork belly on the side, looked at this scene and couldn't help but laugh teasingly.
The Second Elder put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said, "Just let her go. It's not good to stay here all day."
She hesitated for a while, thinking to herself, "Yan An's strength is obvious to all, but I can't fathom Meng Zan's strength either. He must be a strong man."
"Okay, then let her go to Tianxin Empire."
Because the outside world is dangerous, she was worried about her daughter going on a long journey, let alone traveling around like Lu Jingzhi, for fear that something unexpected might happen.
"Great, I'll go tell Xiaoya the news." After saying that, Ye Wu stood up, wiped his mouth, and walked out quickly.
After three rounds of wine and five kinds of dishes...
The two boxes of spiritual fruit wine on the ground were drunk up.
Lu Jingzhi was already lying on the table, drunk as a skunk, mumbling nonsense.
As the banquet ended...
Yan An supported him and came to the bamboo forest on the back mountain, where he helped him lie down on the bench in the pavilion.
Then she took out a plush blanket and covered Lu Jingzhi with it.
After finishing her work, she lifted Lu Jingzhi's head and rested it on her white and delicate thighs.
