Emperor of Feather gave Lu An many materials and resources. Lu An paid no more attention to them and focused on cultivation.
Even though he had no cultivation, he could cultivate fast. In just one month, he was ready for the Heavenly Tribulation.
Emperor of Feather had told him that if Lu An wanted to take the Heavenly Tribulation, he should be let out.
The manager here was a warrior on Lu Li's side. Lu An could go out to take the Heavenly Tribulation and then come back to cultivate.
Lu An's mind was free and the previous Heavenly Tribulations and cultivation were too easy. In one year, he had taken four Heavenly Tribulations and was about to reach the Fifth Tribulation.
After his rebirth, Lu An's mind was much steadier. He seemed to have grown up.
His body was reconstructed with precious materials. His talent was dozens of times better than before and he could cultivate faster.
A month later, Lu An began the fifth Heavenly Tribulation. This time, he could not afford to be careless. He asked permission to go to the Heavenly Tribulation Platform at the Heaven Realm.
The patriarch of the Valley of Inquisition went with Lu An in person, not because he was afraid that Lu An would run away, but to protect him.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Lu An had already passed the fifth Heavenly Tribulation. Jiang Qiling and the others helped him last time but his foundation was stable.
Therefore, Lu An's Heavenly Tribulation went smoothly. He passed the fifth Heavenly Tribulation and returned to the Fifth Tribulation.
"Ah …"
After the Heavenly Tribulation, Lu An cried into the sky. He let out all the anger he had been suppressing over the years.
He flew down to the Heavenly Tribulation Platform.
He looked at the crowd, trying to find the patriarch of the Valley of Inquisition. All of a sudden, he was surprised because he saw a familiar figure.
"Father!"
Lu An flew down quickly and dropped to one knee in front of Lu Li. Lu Li nodded and said, "Good. You have passed the fifth Heavenly Tribulation in a year. Good progress."
Lu An was excited to be praised by Lu Li. His eyes reddened and he said, "My son, my son …"
"It's okay. Say no more!"
Lu Li patted Lu An's shoulder and said, "It was my fault. Let bygones be bygones. From now on, you must be a good man.
You don't have to go to the Valley of Inquisition. Go to the Heaven Fire Region. You will be in charge of that region. You will be a deputy patriarch of the Lu Alliance.
Cultivate well, work hard, and visit your mothers when you have time.
Combat power is important, but being a person is even more important. Do you understand? "
"Manage an interface?
Vice Elder? "
Lu An was surprised. He didn't expect that Lu Li would give him such an important task.
Under normal circumstances, managing the interface required at least the position of an elder, who was very prestigious and experienced in the Lu Alliance. Moreover, their combat strength could not be too weak.
He thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Father, your son has just made a big mistake. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to immediately take on such a heavy responsibility, right?
Many people will gossip about Lu Meng and Grim Reaper. "
"Forget the past and fear the future!"
Lu Li said solemnly, "You have to remember these words. You have done something wrong. If you want to gain everyone's approval, then you have to work harder to be a good person and do good deeds. Bit by bit, you have to wash away the stains on you so that everyone will recognize and accept you.
In this life, one should not care too much about other people's opinions. It was enough to be oneself.
If you can't even accept other people's ridicule, then what qualifications do you have to obtain other people's respect? To be able to do what ordinary people can't, that's what a hero is. "
Lu An nodded, bowed and said, "Thank you, father. I will not let you down."
"Get up!"
Lu Li waved his hand. Then he flew up with Lu An to the Teleportation Formation. On their way, he said, "Let's go back to the Lu Mansion. Your mothers miss you."
"But …"
Lu An was hesitating. He said with shame, "Father, you go back first?
I can sneak back later. "
"Have you forgotten what I said before?"
Lu Li threw him a glance and said, "If you don't even have the courage to go back with me, how can you bear the gossip?"
Lu An said with shame, "I am not afraid of myself. I am afraid that it will affect your reputation, father!"
"Ha, ha!"
Lu Li smiled lightly and said, "I never care about my reputation. I just want to be myself.
If my reputation is affected because of this, then it means that my reputation is useless. "
Lu Li said nothing more. Lu An stopped talking as well. He looked at Lu Li out of the corner of his eye, feeling ashamed.
Because of him, Lu Li had to cut his own flesh to make amends. Now, Lu Li was going back with him, which would affect Lu An's reputation. As a son, Lu An could not help at all. Instead, he was bringing trouble to Lu Li …
Soon, they were teleported back to the Tianyue City. When they appeared at the Teleportation Formation at the plaza, many people in the city were looking at them with psychic power.
Those people were shocked and some were different. Lu Li ignored them completely. He walked side by side with Lu An toward the Lu Mansion.
Jiang Qiling and the others of the Lu Mansion came out to greet them. They stood at the gate to greet them as if they were welcoming a hero, not a criminal who had just been released from prison.
Lu An's eyes were wet. He dropped to his knees and kowtowed to Lu Zhengyang, Lu Renhuang, and Jiang Qiling. He choked with sobs, trying to say something but could not.
"Go in!"
Lu Li waved his hand. Jiang Qiling and the others helped Lu An in. The family gathered together and had a meal.
People in the city were talking about it. Of course, some people were speaking ill of Lu Li and Lu An. Just as Lu Li said, his reputation was not given by others. He earned it himself. Naturally, this matter would not affect them.
Lu Li was actually standing up for Lu An. He was telling all the warriors of the Grim Reaper that Lu An's matter was in the past. If anyone dared to talk about the past again, they would have to consider if Lu Li would be angry.
It was only a year since Lu Li was standing up for Lu An. Inevitably, he would be criticized.
But for Lu An, Lu Li believed it was worth it.
He had been so irresponsible to Lu An. Therefore, he had to make it up to Lu An at the cost of his own reputation.
With Lu An's support, Lu An's days would be better. At least, no warriors of the Grim Reaper dared to mock him in public.
Lu Li was ready to cultivate for a while now that Lu An's matter had come to an end. He was still young. He could not wait for his death to come.
He had to find a way to improve his abilities and see if he could go further.
More importantly — he was worried. He felt it would be difficult for Little White to reach the consummate realm.
Little White was too young and its foundation was not stable. It would be difficult for it to reach the consummate realm in such a short time.
If Little White could not make the breakthrough, it would become a target for all. Countless families and powerful warriors from the Immortal Region would hunt him down. Should he help or not?
If he did, how could he help?
He could not do it with his current abilities.
The Traceless Dao was not omnipotent. The master of the Traceless Sword was from the Immortal Region.
He was killed as well.
Lu Li wanted to cultivate in the next few thousand years. He might not reach the consummate realm, but he could at least improve his abilities to cope with the chaos in the Immortal Region.
