"Could it be that he wants to conduct entrapnt, lure everyone who wants to co fight him to the death, and then replay the Shuntian Manor tragedy, the Tianshun Prefecture disaster?"
The few n all shivered simultaneously.
"So terrifying. Thank goodness, thank goodness we didn't offend him to the point of no return back in the Third Circle. Instead, we went with the flow and sent him up to the Second Circle, doing him a favor. And this ti, we delivered Prince An Wuyang's letter on his behalf and showed our sincerity. Otherwise, this would have been..."
This was truly a case of one thought leading to hell. If they hadn't made that decision back then, if they had chosen to fight Great Han to the bitter end, if they had revealed An Wuyang's background when he ascended, if they had exposed their relationship when Lu Ding was dispatched to Great Han...
Thinking of all this.
The highest-ranking leader of the White Eagle Embassy in the Royal Capital of Great Jing, the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, silently made a praying gesture and uttered an authentic foreign curse.
"God bless ."
God bless .
God really fucking blessed .
Out of all those choices, from beginning to end, they hadn't picked the wrong one even once.
"His combat power is insane. Mars, who delivered the letter, hasn't even returned yet, and he's already wiped out all the enemies at Shuntian Manor..."
The White Eagle Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Philip, hesitated for a mont before writing on the ancient scroll.
[Respected Mr. Fu, may I ask a few questions?]
Although Fu Xinghe's rank was sufficient, he wasn't ruthless enough. But who told him to be Lu Ding's only assistant investigator and part-ti secretary right now?
Even a servant before a pri minister holds a third-rank official status.
Regardless of Fu Xinghe's cultivation realm and strength.
Whatever Lu Ding's strength is, you have to treat Fu Xinghe as having that sa strength, because offending Fu Xinghe ans Lu Ding will co looking for trouble with you.
Therefore, the White Eagle people treated Fu Xinghe with great respect.
[Fu Xinghe: By all ans, go ahead and ask.]
[May I ask, Respected Mr. Fu, in the current situation, is Respected Grand Duke Lu angry?]
After a short while.
Fu Xinghe sent a ssage back.
[Yes, Brother Lu's scholar-warrior sleeves were torn to shreds, so he's a bit 'fired' up.]
The White Eagle n stared at the word "fire," feeling more and more that Great Han's culture was vast and profound.
Getting 'fired' up burned Shuntian Manor to the ground and left Tianshun Prefecture in a state of utter desolation.
All for a piece of clothing...
Philip looked at his colleagues, voicing his thoughts, hoping for agreent.
"I get it now, I get it. The difference between Lu Ding's behavior in the Second Circle and the Third Circle isn't because his personality changed."
"It's because, in the Third Circle, everyone is in a modern society that emphasizes laws and international treaties that all nations must abide by, so Lu Ding had to restrain himself sowhat."
"Now that we're in the Second Circle, although Great Han has modern laws within its borders, once you leave Great Han and enter Great Jing, you have these stubborn, unyielding primitives who don't value human life. So naturally, Lu Ding doesn't value their lives as human life either."
"In other words, Great Han's laws don't have jurisdiction over Great Jing."
The surprised reactions from everyone gave him the emotional validation he desired.
"So that's how it is..."
"Thank goodness, thank goodness I'm from White Eagle. Thank goodness White Eagle and Great Han maintain good cooperative relations in the Second Circle. White Eagle and Great Han will definitely be long-term, sustained partners in the future too, right? Right?"
"Yes, absolutely. I wouldn't want to encounter a human Satan like Lu Ding on the battlefield."
"My God, he's even more demonic than a demon. His efficiency at killing people is faster than the lawnmower trimming the grass in my grandmother's backyard."
Philip composed himself and sent a ssage.
[Respected Mr. Fu, please convey my regards to Respected Grand Duke Lu on my behalf. I am Philip, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the White Eagle Embassy in Great Jing. I will personally relay Grand Duke Lu's words to Prince An Wuyang and personally reply to you.]
[Fu Xinghe: Thank you very much then, Mr. Philip. Brother Lu says he's doing well and asked to thank you. When we arrive at the Royal Capital, let's all have a al together. You can arrange it then, since we're unfamiliar with the place.]
Lu Ding's outward assertiveness led to White Eagle not daring to casually arrange his itinerary.
Even with An Wuyang's prior assurance, they only had a little confidence.
Now, with Fu Xinghe's clear hint again.
The White Eagle n chuckled, hehehe...
Moreover, Lu Ding specifically instructed *them* to make the arrangents. That kind of attitude was as friendly as it could possibly be.
A single sentence, a single attitude, a single friendly gesture made the leadership of the White Eagle Embassy in Great Jing ecstatic beyond asure, even feeling a hint of pride.
Who didn't know that Grand Duke Lu never casually attended others' banquets?
Unless it was a feast he personally carved out with bloodshed.
[Excellent, excellent. We will definitely make excellent arrangents then.]
After replying with the final ssage.
Philip instantly put on a serious face.
"Quick, draft a report and send it up the chain. Notify the Third Circle, have them prepare authentic ingredients from Yunhai, transport them to the Second Circle, then arrange air transport to bring them here. Also rember to go to Yunhai 749 and inquire about what Grand Duke Lu likes to eat."
"Quirk, you prepare the best ingredients available here in Great Jing."
"Local flavors, regional specialties, prepare everything. We must give Grand Duke Lu the most perfect dining experience."
"And the venue, Victor, you arrange it. It must be elegant and beautiful, but not ostentatious."
"Ronald, you take the ssage Grand Duke Lu wants to disseminate and spread it throughout the entire nation of Great Jing using our channels. It must be the *entire* nation, it must cause a shockwave across all of Great Jing."
"I will go to Prince An Wuyang's side first. We'll split up and act."
A unanimous response ca from the secret room: "Yes, sir!!"
Everyone divided the tasks and acted with extrely high efficiency.
Soon, Lu Ding's actions at Shuntian Manor in Tianshun Prefecture spread like wildfire across all of Great Jing.
And as Lu Ding's only close friend in Great Jing.
An Wuyang, ahead of everyone else, heard this explosive news first from Philip.
Reception hall of the Filial Prince's Manor.
*Crack!!!*
A crisp sound rang out.
The teacup shattered, porcelain shards scattering on the floor.
"What!!!?"
"He... he..."
An Wuyang paced back and forth, chest heaving, agitated beyond control.
This emotional outburst wasn't just shock at Lu Ding's terrifying battle record, but also relief at the reversal of the previously unfavorable situation.
Originally, An Wuyang had been worried whether Lu Ding might encounter danger, since the entire Great Jing seed to have it out for him.
But now, with the Tianshun Prefecture battle record laid out...
Targeting him?
They were indeed targeting soone, but it wasn't all of Great Jing targeting Lu Ding. It was Lu Ding turning the tables and targeting all of Great Jing!!!!
There was another reason for An Wuyang's intense excitent.
With Lu Ding displaying such overwhelming strength, once Lu Ding arrived, with Lu Ding backing him, wouldn't he be able to turn the world upside down!!?
Previously, the list he drafted of people to personally complain to Lu Ding about upon his arrival was still sowhat conservative.
At most, he would complain about those of his own generation, or not-so-powerful God Ascension cultivators.
But now, with Lu Ding's earth-shattering battle record out!!!
An Wuyang wanted to complain about those old fogies—this Duke of the State, that Pillar of the Nation, this Grand Guardian, that Junior Guardian, and that so-and-so Madam!!!
Bullying him for having no father or mother in Great Jing, was that it?
Bullying him for having no clan influence in Great Jing, was that it?
Brandishing things like Coiling Dragon Staffs, Royal Beating Whips, trying to intimidate him, was that it!?
Using the na of so elder eight poles away to pressure him, was that it!?
Just you wait, you're finished!!
During this period, An Wuyang had truly suffered imnse grievances.
Philip, watching such an agitated An Wuyang.
Lowered his tone and said with a smile, "Your Highness, Grand Duke Lu asked to relay a question to you."
An Wuyang turned around: "What question? Quickly, quickly, speak."
Philip silently straightened his chest: "Grand Duke Lu asks, 'Am I aweso or what?'"
An Wuyang was stunned for a mont. These words, this tone, made him feel in a daze as if he had returned to the Third Circle, traveling with Lu Ding on the Wei Gao mission.
Genuine, down-to-earth, no distance of status. Lu Ding wasn't Great Han's special envoy, An Wuyang wasn't a prince of Great Jing. In that mont, the two were the most pure friends, engaging in the simplest, most direct question and answer.
