For the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on the face of the man in the black mist. He looked at Lu An, who was kneeling in front of him, and his eyes were blank.

Then, after a while, a happy expression appeared on his face.

"A boy can be taught." The man of the black mist said, with a smile on his face as he spoke, and that smile was filled with happiness that he had never seen before.

Lu An raised his upper body after hearing this, knelt on the ground and looked at the man of black mist, and said seriously, "Without you, I would not be where I am now. I will always remember this kindness in my heart. No matter what the future holds, you will always be my master."

.”

The smile on the face of the man in the black mist became even thicker, and he even burst out laughing. The laughter spread far and far in the dark space, empty.

After the laughter, the man in the black mist said loudly to Lu An, who was kneeling on the ground, "Get up."

Lu An stood up, standing tall and straight.

"Not bad, not bad. I didn't expect that I have been alone for such a long time without a wife or children, but at this time I have an additional apprentice. Very good, very good!" The man of the black mist said with a smile, and there was too much in his voice.

The many vicissitudes of life and emotion made Lu An sound a little more sympathetic.

"Do you still remember the request I made to you when you and I first met?" the man of the black mist asked hoarsely.

Lu An was startled, then nodded immediately and said, "Remember, you asked me to save someone!"

"That's right." The man in the black mist smiled happily and said, "This is my only wish as a teacher, you must remember it."

"Yes, disciple understands!" Lu An nodded vigorously and said.

"By the way, I also want to congratulate you for successfully becoming a first-level heavenly master." The man of black mist said with a smile, "You must not know what happened with the breakthrough just now. The process is a bit complicated. I can only tell you that it is yours."

The ring saved you."

"Ring?" Lu An was startled, seeing the man in the black mist pointing at his chest, and quickly looked down at the necklace he had worn since childhood.

Is it it?

"I couldn't help you in the situation at that time. It was it that helped you stabilize the Nine Heavens Holy Fire and the Xuan Shen Ice and eliminate their hostility." The man of the black mist said, "It is a rare treasure, and it is also your mother.

The gift given to you, you must always take good care of it."

Lu An frowned when he heard this and looked down at the ring again. He was very familiar with this ring because it was the ring he grew up with.

It was the only toy he could play with. However, he was also somewhat afraid of the ring, because whenever he stared at the strange symbols on the ring for a long time, he would feel severe dizziness and fall into a deep sleep.

Lu An suddenly realized something, looked up at the man of black mist and asked, "Did my mother give me this ring?"

"That's right." The man in the black mist smiled and said, "It's your mother who gave birth to you."

"..."

Lu An felt warm in his heart. He looked down at the ring and gently touched it with his fingers, as if he could feel a hint of warmth.

"I will take good care of it." Lu An said seriously, his voice was soft but firm.

"That's good." The man in the black mist nodded and said, "Now that you have just broken through to the realm of the Heavenly Master, it will take some time for your heart to produce enough life wheels to fill your body. When everything is ready, you can truly practice the Burning Sun and Nine Suns. Try

Release the sun outside the body. Of course, I will also teach you the other two secret methods."

"But the secret techniques I teach you are too strong and cannot be used by you in a short period of time. Therefore, you must go to Dacheng Tianshan and learn more heavenly techniques. Your understanding of the secret techniques will also increase a lot. Everything needs to be done.

Take it step by step and don’t expect to reach the sky in one step.” said the man in the black mist.

"Yes, disciple understands." Lu An said seriously after hearing this.

"Okay, you can slowly accumulate life wheels in the past few days. I can rest more in the future, and come back here when you need it." The man in the black mist said, and then the figure swayed and disappeared in the air.

Lu An looked at the disappearing man in the black mist and bowed deeply before exiting the state of sleep. He opened his eyes and looked at the peaceful mountains and forests around him again.

Birds are singing, flowers are fragrant, and streams are flowing.

Lu An smiled, stood up from the ground and looked at the sky, realizing that it was already getting late. If he didn't go back, he would not be able to catch up with Liu's dinner party.

Thinking of this, Lu An ran back to where he was and rode back to Qingbei City quickly.

Qingbeicheng, Liu Mansion.

The servants were walking back and forth between the kitchen and the side yard, everyone holding their hands

Delicious dishes were served in the center. At the same time, the side courtyard was also decorated with lights and colors, which was extremely grand.

The master had just passed away, so it was not suitable to hold a banquet in the main courtyard. Madam Liu respected her late husband and chose the most remote side courtyard. However, because Lu An was so kind to the Liu family, she arranged the side courtyard to be extremely luxurious.

In the hall, eight tables were placed on both sides of the stage, and two tables were placed on the stage. Each table was filled with delicacies, which looked like it would make people drool.

Not only that, in the garden outside the hall, Mrs. Liu invited the best orchestra to play music, which was a grand occasion.

When Lu An returned to the Liu Mansion, he was led into the side courtyard by the servants who had been waiting at the door for a long time. When he saw this scene, he couldn't help but be stunned. At this time, the accountant had already arrived in front of him.

"Young Master Lu, the dinner is about to start, come in quickly!" Mr. Accountant saluted and said with a smile.

Lu An smiled and said, "Okay."

As the two of them walked, Mr. Accountant looked at Lu An curiously, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Where did Mr. Lu go today? Why do you feel that the aura of Mr. Lu is... different?"

"It's different?" Lu An was stunned and asked, "Why is it different?"

"It feels like... the young hero's back is straighter, the breath all over his body is smoother, and the aura is stronger." Mr. Accountant frowned and thought, "But that's not right. The young hero in the past also stood like a loose man. What's going on?

thing?"

Lu An was startled, thinking that it was his breakthrough to the realm of the Heavenly Master that brought about a completely different change to himself? But he did not explain, just smiled and said, "Sir, you are overly worried. I just went out to enjoy the mountains and rivers. Maybe it was

I feel a lot better after being bored for a long time.”

"It's possible." Mr. Accountant suddenly realized, nodded quickly and said, "Young hero has been staying at Liu's house for the past few days. He has been bored for too long..."

Speaking of this, Mr. Accountant suddenly thought of something and quickly turned to Lu An and asked, "Young Master Lu, you said you went sightseeing today?"

Lu An was startled again, looked at Mr. Accountant's surprised look, nodded and said, "Yeah, what's wrong?"

"Does Mr. Lu know that something strange happened on the mountain east of the city today?" Mr. Accountant asked quickly.

.

"A vision?" Lu An was shocked. He frowned slightly after thinking about the words of the man in the black mist, and asked, "What vision? I don't know."

"What a natural fire cloud!" Mr. Accountant said anxiously when he saw that Lu An didn't know. "Today, everyone in Qingbei City saw the fire cloud in the east of the city. It was so spectacular and beautiful, but the young hero didn't see it?"

Lu An felt tense, but smiled on the surface, "I went to play in the mountains to the west of the city for a while. I might have been blocked by the trees and didn't see anything. It's a pity."

"Yes, what a pity!" Mr. Accountant shook his head and said, "I don't know how many people in the city worshiped the vision and prayed! Even Mrs. Liu did the same, praying for the future safety of the Liu family."

Lu An smiled and asked, "Where is Mrs. Liu?"

"We're already waiting inside." Mr. Accountant said. At this time, the two of them came to the front of the hall, stretched out their hands and said, "Young Master Lu, please!"

"please!"

Lu An walked up the steps and walked into the hall. He found that the tables on both sides were almost full of people. Mrs. Liu and Shuang'er were sitting behind the right table on the stage, while the left table was empty.

Mrs. Liu stood up when she saw Lu An arriving, took the initiative to walk down the stage and greeted Lu An in front of the door. She bowed slightly to Lu An and said, "Young Master Lu."

"Mrs. Liu." Lu An said respectfully, clasping his fists and bowing in salute.

After finishing speaking, Lu An couldn't help but take a look at Mrs. Liu. Today's Mrs. Liu is different from the previous few days. Before, Mrs. Liu was wearing mourning clothes, and the haze on her face never disappeared. Today, she is wearing beautiful clothes.

She also applied makeup on her face, and Mrs. Liu, whom she had just met that day, came back.

"Young Master Lu, please take a seat." Mrs. Liu turned sideways and said with a smile.

"Mrs. Liu, please." Lu An said with a smile. He followed the two of them to the stage side by side and sat behind their own tables.

Soon, the banquet began. There was constant singing and dancing at the banquet, and everyone in the audience also toasted to Lu An. Lu An had never drank before, and he was not in the mood to drink now. So he offered tea instead of wine to everyone in return.

But no one noticed that right next to Mrs. Liu, Shuang'er, who was nearly eleven years old, was always secretly looking at Lu An, her eyes filled with the complexity of her first love.
