Yúnjǐn looked at Anbǎo's bright eyes and felt a little anxious.

An Bao shook her little head and continued with a smile, "No way! Brother Lu helped us so much, we have to help him too! And Brother Lu can't wait for us to finish cleaning up Rina and the others. His life is in danger, if nothing unexpected happens, he won't live past tomorrow."

After a pause, An Bao continued with some melancholy, "Lu Ge is so pitiful! His parents don't want him anymore. He's so young and has to do so much dirty work. It's really pitiful."

Although An Bao wasn't involved in Lu Si'an's past, one could tell from his countenance that Lu Si'an's childhood and adolescence hadn't been pleasant.

But it's also guessable.

I ask you, can a life where a mother dislikes you, your stepfather doesn't love you, and you are even sold, be happy?

Lu Si'an was sold to many families, and he suffered a lot of abuse before finally desperately escaping and entering the military camp.

But, even within the military camp, it was because of his hard work and effort that he earned everyone's respect.

And these processes, Anbao and they couldn't see, nor could they empathize with them.

But Anbao knew that Lu Si'an had already gone through a lot of hardship, but she still desperately wanted to help them.

When someone is in darkness and cannot even see the light themselves, yet still thinks of helping others, how warm and kind must their heart be?

So...

"An Bao wanted Lu Ge to see the sunrise of tomorrow, and the sunrise of every day in the future. Sunrise and sunset, these are what Lu Ge should see, and deserves to see."

An Bao having said this, both Meng Chao and Yun Jin were speechless.

They stared blankly at An Bao for a long time, then let out a long sigh and said, "You're right, he deserves it."

"Alright! There's no reason why we shouldn't return the favor after Lu Si'an has helped us so many times. Don't worry, Anbao, you've already done enough. When we face off against Lina and her team, we'll join the fight. You just focus on protecting yourself."

"That's right! We practiced for so long, there's no way we can lose to those misfits!"

"Yes! Let those trash see what real, orthodox Xuanmen is!"

Yunjin and Mengchao's eyes were filled with fighting spirit as they talked, their words laced with it!

They weren't heartless people, but if they had to choose between An Bao and Lu Si'an, there would still be some difficult decisions to make.

But An Bao's determination left them with no choice but to obey!

But even if An Bao was a little weak, so what?

Aren't these two big shots capable of protecting a little girl?

An Bao looked up at Meng Chao and Yun Jin, smiled, then reached out with one hand to each of them, saying in a milky voice, "Let's go! Hua Guo is the best!!!"

A group of people laughed and joked around here for a while before lying down to rest.

But they didn't know, just a wall away, Lu Sian held the blood gourd in his hand, looking at the round moon in the sky, his eyes already wet.

He clutched the blood gourd tightly in his hand, hesitated for a moment, then returned to his room, took out a pen, and wrote a birthday on it.

In the dead of night, the entire palace was suddenly thrown into chaos.

"Oh no, oh no!!! The demon is here!!"

"Here it comes! That demon is so terrifying!!!"

"Protect the carriage! Protect the carriage!"

All the eunuchs in the palace were shouting anxiously and rushing towards the emperor's palace.

And the emperor, also rising at once, frowned as he saw Lu Si'an standing before him and said, "Here he comes?"

"Well, here we are, Your Majesty, please don't worry. Our people have already lured those demons to the places of those gods."

The emperor nodded, then with some worry added: "Aiqing Lu, you should also go and take a look. I'm still not very reassured."

Lu Si'an nodded and then said to the emperor: "Yes! This minister will go right away, Your Majesty. Please take care of yourself as well."

"Good."

When Lü Sian left, the emperor finally concealed the panic in his eyes and turned to the eunuch, saying, "Are you ready?"

"Ready as we'll ever be, Your Majesty, but if it truly comes to that... General Lu will likely..."

"Hmph, dead is dead, a traitor! Did he really think I didn't know about the flies he brought?"

The emperor let out a cold snort, his eyes devoid of any warmth, only a chilling iciness.

Upon hearing this, the eunuchs dared not ask further. They respectfully bowed and hurried to carry out the order.

"Liana! Get out here!"

A roar echoed, and the red-haired man slowly followed Ishizaki Yutaka behind, watching him clear a path ahead with a ruthless expression on his face.

At this moment, only Shimazu Hiroki could be seen with his upper body bare. The muscles on his body seemed to swell and bulge, looking incredibly solid and powerful!

Most importantly, at this time, the red vermilion markings on Shimazu Hiroki's body painted intricate patterns.

These patterns look extremely complex, but they also carry a chilling aura. Just looking at them gives one an irresistible shiver.

And the guards in the palace, as soon as they were approached by Shimazu Yukinaga, would be directly lifted up by him and torn in half!

Fresh, bloody entrails were scattered everywhere!

It looks terrifying, and it's full of horror!

The guards, seeing this, couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines. They backed away one after another, not daring to go near him anymore.

Thus, under the lead of Izumi Yuki, Akagi leisurely followed behind. In no time at all, they arrived at the rest quarters where Rina and the others were resting.

Looking at Rina and the others resting in such a lavish and grand sleeping palace, Akagi's eyes flashed with a few strands of resentment!

Every time Akagi thought about those days, they were living in the slums like stray dogs, he couldn't help but be furious!

It's all these damn wizards!

"Damn mages! Get out here!!!"

Akagi roared again, and that Ishizumi Yuji was like understanding Akagi's thoughts in an instant, directly swung a punch, directly smashing the door of that Nebuya!

“Bang!”

"Splash!"

The palace gate was shattered, and smoke billowed everywhere!

The guards who were forced to retreat here scattered in fear.

Just as Shimazu Yukiki was about to throw another punch, he heard Reina's cold laughter: "Oh, it's you guys? You really are bold. Is this a death wish?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, five mages led by Rena appeared out of thin air, surrounding Akagi and Yuzuki Shimazu, trapping them within their circle.

These five mages each wore expressions of haughty disdain, looking at Akagi and Shimazu Yuuki as if they were already corpses.

That look of contempt in his eyes left Akagi only feeling a deep sense of shame!

These people…

"You! We clearly agreed to cooperate, how can you go back on your word?"

Akechi glared fiercely at the people before him, his face a mixture of anger and confusion.
