Chapter 685 Truth or Falsehood

As they chatted, Li An's gaze suddenly fell on the blackboard not far away.The researchers who had been observing Li An immediately showed excitement.But then...A series of crisp footsteps approached, accompanied by a captivating fragrance.Turning around, he saw Shuangxue, dressed in a fairy robe, holding a lunchbox, smiling at Li An.This beautiful scene was the envy of everyone.Li An's heart stirred slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. He smiled and said, "Why did you come so suddenly?"Shuangxue: "I checked the time you received your package.""Haven't you had a meal cooked by me in a long time?"Shuangxue's bright blue eyes darted around. She lifted the lunchbox in her hand and smiled, "Won't you do me the honor, Li Zun?""Alright, let's eat here."Li An found a table in the hall and sat down.Shuangxue also sat down with a grin, acting like a little princess.Li An opened his lunchbox with both hands, but didn't look at Shuangxue. His eyes were fixed on the blackboard, pondering the solutions to several formulas, as he asked, "Weren't you in seclusion trying to break through to the fifth level? How come you have time to come?""I missed you," Shuangxue tilted her head, looking at Li An. "Why aren't you looking at me?"Li An replied dismissively, "Those formulas are quite interesting, let me think about them."After saying that, he lowered his head to eat.Across from him, Shuangxue's brows furrowed slightly.Not far away, the researchers watched this scene with a strange feeling. This couple didn't seem as affectionate as the rumors suggested.Liu Dahu's expression also changed slightly, but he noticed Li An's fingers under the table making a gesture of keeping his ear still.From beginning to end, Li An ate while looking at the formulas, barely glancing at Shuangxue.Shuangxue remained silent until she saw Li An was almost finished eating before suddenly saying, "I want to go home and visit."Li An asked, "Which home?""The one in Daoshi City," Shuangxue smiled."Okay," Li An nodded. After cleaning up the food scraps, he stood up and said to Liu Dahu, "Invite those ten sword cultivators here. I should be able to help them change their class when I return." Li An pointed to the ten formulas on the blackboard.The surrounding researchers all looked excited, and Liu Dahu smiled and said, "Then come back as soon as possible.""I will." Li An nodded slightly, then followed Shuangxue out of the First Research Institute.Then, the two silently boarded the flying shuttle.When Shuangxue tried to speak, Li An said he was thinking about formulas.After a while, Shuangxue's expression finally changed, but seeing that Li An didn't make any unnecessary movements, she didn't say anything more.As expected, the flying shuttle didn't head towards Daoshi City, but landed in Tang City, one of the three holy cities of the human race.Tang City, the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion.The flying shuttle slowly landed.The hatch opened wide.Li An didn't ask why they landed here, but glanced at Shuangxue behind him, gesturing for her to lead the way."Frost and Snow" narrowed her eyes slightly as she led Li An into the City Lord's mansion, finally settling him in the spacious reception room.It was daytime, and the sunlight streaming through the windows illuminated the room brightly. The table was spotless, not even a speck of dust; the place was impeccably clean.Li An placed his hand on the warm, sunlit tabletop.Beside him, "Frost and Snow" frowned. "Are you still thinking about the formula?""Yes," Li An nodded coldly."Truly a remarkable person." She scoffed, then dropped the pretense, revealing her true form.Tang City Lord, Yao Tianren's daughter, Yao Yan, with an SS-level talent for imitation stance."How did you see through my disguise?" Her voice echoed in the empty meeting room.Li An, however, remained indifferent, too lazy to answer, simply saying, "Quiet." Yao Yan trembled, startled by those imposing eyes.Before undertaking this mission, she had never imagined that a 22-year-old youth could possess more authority and be more unfathomable than her father.About three minutes later.The door to the reception room opened, and two footsteps sounded. Leading the way was the square-faced city lord, Yao Tianren, followed by a short, elderly man.At a glance, Li An could tell the old man's aura was even more imposing than Yao Tianren's; he was a super-strong individual.But he remained unfazed.A gentle breeze blew by, and Yao Tianren pulled out a chair and sat opposite Li An, saying apologetically, "It took some time to get here from Daoshi City."Li An glanced at Yao Yan's star platform.She knew she had been seen through, and she knew that since she had come, she hadn't taken a long detour, bringing this arrogant man to their home turf.Then.The light suddenly vanished!The curtains in the reception room were drawn shut, and even the aura of an array could be seen. Then, a row of candles lit up.Yao Tianren sat respectfully to the side of the short, elderly man.Li An remained silent, meeting his gaze expressionlessly.A few seconds later, a faint tension rose.The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, then suddenly burst into a bright smile.The laughter was loud."Hahahaha... Truly, a hero emerges from among the young.""Let me introduce myself.""Tang Lian, leader of the Second Army of the Heavenly Realm Resistance."Upon hearing this, Yao Tianren echoed with a laugh, and the atmosphere seemed to ease slightly.However.Li An's expression remained unchanged!He continued to stare coldly at the old man, causing the old man's smile to abruptly cease."Impersonating Li Zun's wife and entering Li Zun's ancestral home were indeed presumptuous of us.""I apologize." Tang Lian bowed deeply.Li An's expression remained unchanged: "What do you want with me?"Tang Lian said in a deep voice, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. The resistance army stands on the same side as the mortal realm.""We, the Heavenly Realm resistance army, all come from the Thirteen Kingdoms. We have a vast city-state in a neutral territory; that will be your future foothold.""We have been observing your actions in the mortal realm. We believe you have the potential to become a second tyrant, so we have decided to come to the mortal realm at this time to discuss with you the important matter of overthrowing the Heavenly Realm's rule!"Li An said calmly, "What do you intend to do?"Tang Lian said with a smile, "According to my..." "I know the Nameless One will soon attack the Asura Realm, and our resistance will come to your aid at that time, striving for the greatest victory with the least cost.""But before that, we must contact the Asura Ancestor." Tang Lian's face was bitter as he said, "Coming to the mortal realm, we dare not easily reveal ourselves to be watched by the Heavenly Realm, after all, our stronghold is in the Heavenly Realm.""I've tried everything but haven't been able to find Mr. Tianming, nor can I contact those powerful figures who fought alongside us back then.""We can only rely on you.""I hope you can help me contact Mr. Tianming and tell him the truth." Hearing this, Li An's heart skipped a beat.
