......
Luan Ji moved her chair closer to hers.
"How could it be as difficult as climbing to the heavens, my dear sister? Am I not here for you?"
Yan Yage was surprised. "You're going to help ?"
Luan Ji frowned. "Otherwise? You're already in the new city. If I don't help you, who will?"
The topic was finally steered onto the right track by Luan Ji.
This was precisely the idea she had in mind for coming here!
Dealing with Lu Ding in secret would ultimately be hampered by the local 749 Bureau in Asura Street.
It was better to use her personal relationship with Yan Yage as a pretext to bring the confrontation with Lu Ding into the open.
Turn their need to deal with Lu Ding into them helping Yan Yage, the special envoy of Asura Street, to deal with Lu Ding together.
Block him, drive him away, kill him!!!!!
Then, finally, push all the responsibility onto Yan Yage.
If there were any problems, let the Review Office investigate Yan Yage.
The young woman carrying the greatsword raised her wine cup, a smile appearing on her face. "Then I must thank Sister Luan Ji."
She hadn't brought any Spirit Refinent cultivators with her this ti.
And she couldn't take any away.
Therefore, facing Lu Ding's combat power that could rival Spirit Refinent, Yan Yage felt insufficiently confident deep down.
Even if it was only Spirit Refinent from a remote place like Great Jing.
But this was enough to prove Lu Ding's formidable strength!
Now, with the added support of Luan Ji and the Feihuang Group behind her, Yan Yage wouldn't say she was guaranteed to win, after all, with Lu Ding's reputation out there, he couldn't be underestimated.
But she did have about a fifty percent chance!
Luan Ji clinked her cup in return, producing a crisp sound.
"You're welco, my dear sister."
"Last ti I went to Great Han to discuss business, you helped out of a tight spot. Now that you're in the new city, of course it's my turn to help ease your worries."
This 'discussing business' was indeed normal business discussion.
Although the Feihuang Group was secretly a splinter faction from the Profound Nether Cult, all the surrounding countries and forces knew Great Han's temperant. Anyone who caused trouble within its borders was simply seeking death.
And it would also enrage Great Han, it truly dared to blow up on you!
This was a lesson learned from countless bloody precedents.
But as a splinter faction of the Profound Nether Cult, if the Feihuang Group's identity was revealed, it would not be permitted.
So, Luan Ji had no choice but to restrain herself at the ti. Fortunately, she encountered Yan Yage who helped her out of the situation in ti.
Hearing her bring up the past matter again.
Yan Yage sighed helplessly. "That was such a trivial matter from so long ago, why do you still rember it?"
Just as the two were chatting.
The ringing of a phone interrupted their conversation.
Yan Yage answered the call. The voice of the investigator she brought from Tianwu Province ca from the other end.
"Special Envoy Yan, Lu Ding is here. Please co back quickly. He's right at..."
*Thud!!!*
A dull sound.
Yan Yage instantly stood up. "Hello? Old Wu!!?"
A voice ca through the phone again.
But it was different from before.
"This is Lu Ding. I'm in a hurry. You'd better co back quickly. I'm waiting for you at the Asura Street 749 Bureau."
After saying that.
The call ended.
Luan Ji, sitting beside her, also heard the content of the call.
After all, Yan Yage hadn't tried to hide it.
She spoke up, "We just reached an agreent, and now this Corpse-Shattering Taishui shows up uninvited. Perfect timing, let's take this opportunity to witness the might of this Lu Ding."
Yan Yage didn't say much, just one word: "Go!"
After saying that.
Yan Yage turned and walked towards the private room door. The investigators guarding on both sides outside the room pulled open the wooden doors.
The mont Yan Yage and Luan Ji stepped out of the private room.
The first-floor hall of the Apricot Blossom Tavern, filled with seated investigators and Feihuang Group mbers, instantly stood up.
Only after the two won descended did they follow them out of the tavern.
The scene was sowhat impressive.
In contrast, on the other side.
Lu Ding, who had brought An Ning along, although seemingly fewer in number.
But being right doesn't depend on being loud, and imposing presence doesn't depend on numbers.
A tall, straight back under the moonlight.
With one hand gripping a Fifth Restriction investigator who had followed Yan Yage from Tianwu Province, and the other hand pointing horizontally at the others present.
Lu Ding advanced, the crowd retreated.
No one dared to breathe loudly.
The pressure made everyone feel as if needles were pricking their backs, each sweating profusely, their faces slightly pale.
For no other reason.
Because the person before them was surnad Lu, nad Ding, known as the Corpse-Shattering Taishui!!!
An Ning walked behind Lu Ding. From their positions, it almost seed like she was the one in charge.
But judging by her unique gait, her attitude that was not fawning yet showed respect, who was truly in charge was clear at a glance.
In this regard.
An Ning was a professional.
After all, she had been in the imperial palace for so long.
Although she had Prince Zhao backing her.
But if the Jing Emperor walked ahead of her, could she possibly be greater than the Jing Emperor?
An Ning's voice rang out, saying the words Lu Ding disdained to utter.
"When Grand Duke Lu gives you a good face, you should receive it with both hands."
"Not refuse the face offered and show no appreciation for it!"
As soon as she finished speaking.
Lu Ding kicked the person he was holding, sending him flying into the crowd, instantly knocking down a group.
When they had just arrived.
This investigator from Tianwu Province, even after Lu Ding had revealed his identity and said he was looking for Yan Yage.
Was still there saying 'not here, not here'.
Lu Ding hadn't made things difficult for him then.
An Ning had asked beside him, 'If she's not here, where did she go?'
'Can you notify her?'
This person: 'No'
'I don't know'
It might seem fine on the surface, but combined with the expression on his face when he spoke.
Lu Ding truly didn't want to indulge him!!
Are you treating like so mber of the public coming to your bureau to report a case?
Lu Ding spoke up, "I want to go inside now. Tea, fruits and snacks, I want to see them."
"Can you understand?"
This request was not excessive at all. According to the managent system of the Second Circle 749 Bureau, including the current managent system of White Ridge.
Whenever soone cos, whether to report a case or for other business, except for those looking for trouble, tea and fruits/snacks must be served.
Tea helps ease emotions, while fruits/snacks can make people feel at ease. Even if they're just placed there and not eaten, it feels more humane than an empty table or countertop.
Everyone nodded hurriedly.
Like chicks pecking at rice.
They were just about to go prepare.
A God Ascension investigator who had co with Yan Yage from Tianwu Province flew out from the Asura Street 749 Bureau building.
This person did the sa job as Hou Dehai.
Guarding the base.
"Wait a mont!"
Lu Ding rose from the ground.
Without a single wasted word.
Zero-fra startup, why bother with lengthy explanations? It would just be pointless back-and-forth.
Lu Ding asking them to notify first was already showing courtesy before resorting to force, and that was out of consideration for them being colleagues.
Did they really think he had no temper or sothing?
He was here to take over territory.
A whip kick, cracking the air with a sonic boom, creating a ring of dispersed air.
Directly struck the newcor's chest.
*Bang!!!*
The figure flew back exactly the way it had co.
Only with more commotion.
Shattering through a window, tumbling *dong dong dong* down the corridor inside the building.
Lu Ding's voice ca after he made his move: "Still want to wait?"
Instantly.
The surrounding investigators scattered like birds and beasts.
A God Ascension expert from one of Great Han's thirty-six provinces, Tianwu Province, had been taken down in one move.
What more was there to say?
Forget about tea.
Whatever you want to drink, wouldn't I prepare it for you?
