Lu Jingzhi was seen wearing a gorgeous robe, with a beautiful jade hanging around his waist, and running hurriedly towards the lotus pond.
At this time, Yan An was dancing gracefully on the lotus pond, waving the long sword in his hand. His posture was graceful and elegant, yet sharp and fierce.
She stood steadily on the lotus leaf, and as she finished her movement, she gently put the phoenix-patterned sword back into its sheath.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Yan An turned to look at Lu Jingzhi and asked softly.
Lu Jingzhi flew over and stood on the same lotus leaf with Yan An.
"My lady, the elders of the Tiansha Holy Palace came to visit me personally today and invited me to their palace for a chat."
"I have some concerns in my heart, worried that there is something else going on, so I dare not agree to it for the time being. I have come to seek your opinion."
The Tiansha Holy Palace is one of the most powerful forces in Nanzhou, and its reputation is far-reaching.
This time, I heard about the sudden rise of the Lu Mansion, and the unfathomable strength of the people in the mansion. Even the three elders are powerful warriors in the Sky-Stepping Realm.
The news spread quickly, from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and in the end it became more and more outrageous.
"Do you know? The third elder of the Lu Mansion has already entered the advanced realm of the Sky-stepping Realm. In my opinion, the head of the family must have even reached the Void Realm!"
"That's right! It is said that, except for the third elder, everyone else in the Lu Mansion is a Void Realm expert!"
"If they continue to develop like this, they will definitely be able to easily overthrow the Tiansha Holy Palace in the future and become the new number one force in our Nanzhou continent!"
After hearing these rumors, the people at Tiansha Holy Palace instantly became solemn.
They knew very well that this matter was of great importance and if they did not take it seriously, they would probably be in big trouble in the future.
Therefore, the Tiansha Holy Palace acted decisively and immediately dispatched several highly respected elders to investigate the situation.
Not only that, they also sent an invitation to the Lu Mansion, hoping to have a face-to-face discussion with the head of the Lu Mansion, Lu Jingzhi.
After Lu Jingzhi sent the elders from Tiansha Holy Palace to the inn to rest, he summoned Boss Xu, the Great Elder and other elders to discuss countermeasures.
At the meeting, everyone expressed their views, and the opinions were quite diverse.
Some people advocated going to the Tiansha Holy Palace to keep the appointment. The reason was simple: they couldn't let people think that the Lu family was timid, otherwise they would be looked down upon.
Moreover, now that the Lu Mansion has a powerful master like Yan An in charge, there is no need to fear any challenges.
However, another group of people were strongly opposed to going.
They were worried that this so-called invitation was just an elaborate Hongmen Banquet.
Once Lu Jingzhi goes there, he might fall into many crises and find it difficult to escape.
Faced with so many different opinions, Lu Jingzhi felt upset and confused, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
Yan An frowned tightly and fell into deep thought.
"What medicinal herbs does Uncle Lu still lack?"
Lu Jingzhi, who was standing by, was slightly stunned when he heard Yan An suddenly mention this.
He looked at Yan An with some doubt, but quickly came to his senses, "At present, we are still short of three things: the Ice Soul Marrow, the Thunder Stone, and the Essence of the Fountain of Life."
In the past few days, various major forces have come to offer gifts and show their goodwill, and among the gifts they sent are many precious and rare medicinal herbs.
As time went by, Lu Jingzhi slowly collected more than a thousand Chinese medicinal herbs needed for body refining.
However, despite having received so many medicinal herbs, there are still three extremely rare and valuable ones that have not been obtained.
Yan An opened her red lips and said, "Well, then let's go to the Arctic Ice Continent."
Hearing this, Lu Jingzhi looked bewildered and completely confused, "Why did you suddenly go there?"
Yan An frowned slightly, stretched out her jade hand and gently twisted Lu Jingzhi's ear, "Stupid! Of course, we are going to find medicinal herbs for Uncle Lu."
"In this way, we also have sufficient reason to reject the request of Tiansha Holy Palace."
Then, Yan An paused and reminded in a serious tone: "Remember, no matter what, you must not let others discover your true strength."
"Otherwise, once the Tiansha Holy Palace finds out, they will definitely call on the forces of the entire South Continent to encircle and suppress us. By then, we will be completely powerless to resist."
In Yan An's understanding, the Palace Master of Tiansha Holy Palace also has the cultivation level of Void Realm, and his strength is not inferior to his own at all.
The appeal of a Void Realm expert is extremely astonishing.
But he could not reveal his identity. If he did, those annoying pursuers, as well as enemies such as the demon clan and the evil soul clan would come.
Then not only Lu Jingzhi would be in danger, but everyone else would also encounter unexpected events.
After listening to Yan An's detailed explanation, Lu Jingzhi nodded in sudden enlightenment, "So that's how it is. I understand."
"Indeed, only by maintaining mystery and the unknown can we instill fear in the enemy."
"As long as I don't show up, the people from the Tiansha Holy Palace will be wary of my strength and won't dare to act rashly."
"That's right, we have to set off for the Arctic Ocean tomorrow."
"When the time comes, let Meng Zan come forward to receive the guests as the Fourth Elder, and Xu Yuqing and Second Uncle must not show up. Find a place to hide first."
Lu Jingzhi nodded heavily, then couldn't wait to hug Yan An tightly and gave her a quick kiss on her delicate face.
"I have no regrets in my life to have a wife as intelligent and thoughtful as you by my side!"
After hearing this, Yan An couldn't help but nudge him lightly and said in a feigned anger, "Humph, all you know how to do is say sweet words to make people happy."
"Stop being so slick here."
However, her slightly flushed cheeks betrayed her inner joy and shyness at the moment.
"Hehehe, my dear lady, please don't blame me. I will go and arrange all the related matters properly and leave for Bingzhou tomorrow."
After saying that, Lu Jingzhi used the flying technique to rush towards the conference hall...
At this moment, a few crystal clear bubbles suddenly emerged from the calm water surface.
Then, a small and cute head slowly emerged from the water.
She blinked her big, fluttering eyes and playfully shouted, "Hahahaha, brother and sister are so shameless, hugging and kissing each other in broad daylight!"
