First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!-Chapter 806: When Lu Ding Arrives, I Will Settle the Score with Each of You (Immortal Inquiry)

When he pointed out their origins, the two men weren't panicked, only silently raising their evaluation of An Wuyang in their hearts.

The Su Patriarch raised a hand, "Your Highness, the Filial Prince, your words miss the mark. Although Great Han's national strength surpasses that of Great Jing, its cultural and social environment is far inferior. We two, with our Spirit Refinement cultivation, are constrained by Great Han's laws in many places, unable to live freely and happily."

"Coincidentally, we heard that the situation in Great Jing is changing."

The Dong Family patriarch continued the conversation, "After much deliberation and extensive investigation, we two brothers believe that Your Highness, the Filial Prince, is truly a man of sentiment and righteousness, worthy of our assistance."

"Furthermore, we heard Your Highness's situation is not favorable. Since we two brothers have already made our decision, we are certainly not the type to delay. Thus, we have traveled thousands of miles to come here, to lay the foundation for Your Highness's temporary palace!"

The Su Patriarch declared with resounding force, "A pillar that holds up the heavens!"

With their cultivation at the Spirit Refinement realm, saying this was not an exaggeration in the slightest.

It must be said, An Wuyang was somewhat moved.

But there is no such thing as a free lunch, "I wonder what you two esteemed seniors desire?"

The two old men, Dong and Su, smiled inwardly in unison. He's hooked.

"We two brothers have not yet achieved even a sliver of merit, and dare not speak recklessly of demands. We also know Your Highness's current situation is not optimistic, and dare not increase Your Highness's burdens."

The old man from the Dong Family followed up, "We only want what comes later."

The old man from the Su Family immediately added, "This trip was rushed, and we did not bring a meeting gift for Your Highness. We only seek to see Your Highness first. Afterwards, three thousand li to the west, there is a chain of water strongholds where water bandits run rampant, which is one of Great Jing's hidden dangers."

The old man from the Dong Family raised two fingers, "A round trip of two days. We two brothers can prepare a meeting gift for Your Highness. Then, Your Highness can personally present the heads of the water stronghold bandit leaders, stride proudly into the palace, and forcefully intervene in the Crown Prince power struggle!!"

Simple, direct, using overwhelming force to break through all complexities—just that brutal.

Substance is provided, face is given. Putting aside these two old men's future wolfish ambitions for now, their sincerity at this moment is full to the brim.

The attitude of two Spirit Refinement realm experts made An Wuyang feel somewhat powerless to resist.

With just a nod, he could see a bright path forward, escape his current predicament, and act freely.

How could he not be tempted?

As for what happens later, before success is achieved, who cares about the floodwaters that come after?

Right now, he's almost suffocating beneath the water's surface. Doesn't he need to get ashore first to catch his breath, to get a moment of respite?

This was also a psychological attack strategy the two old men devised based on An Wuyang's current situation.

A combination of punches, hitting you until you're dazed, leaving you with absolutely no reason to refuse.

Although it has a bit of that "drinking poison to quench thirst" flavor, at least he won't die now, and can enjoy a moment of glory. Should he be a coward who sees no path forward, or a gambler who at least bets on having a moment of glory?

Anyone with a bit of backbone would know which to choose.

Moreover, An Wuyang currently has nothing, he's completely alone.

After much deliberation.

An Wuyang gritted his teeth, "Then I must trouble you two esteemed seniors."

The two old men, Dong and Su, exchanged a glance and shared a knowing smile.

They stood up and cupped their hands, "Your Highness, the Filial Prince, await our good news."

"You are destined for greatness. Your upward path will be personally supported by the two of us."

They came quickly and left quickly.

As the two walked out of the reception hall, they happened to run into the old eunuch who had gone to fetch the materials.

"You two, this is...?"

Coming out so soon, could it be that His Highness didn't reach an agreement with these two experts?

Hmm! It must be that their demands were too excessive!!!

The old eunuch's loyalty would never bend outward. Even if it was An Wuyang's fault, he would still help him argue forcefully.

"Eunuch Liu, we are going to prepare a gift for His Highness, the Filial Prince. We won't talk with you further."

After casually brushing him off, they didn't even deign to look at him properly.

A eunuch, and an old eunuch at that.

Speaking to him was already giving him face.

Eunuch Liu wasn't angered either, having seen much of this. His face revealed pleasant surprise, "Then you two esteemed seniors must be sure to pay attention to safety, go early and return early."

Dong Xun and Su Changhe didn't even acknowledge him and left directly.

Eunuch Liu smiled obsequiously as he watched the two leave, then hurried with small steps to the reception hall.

"Your... Your Highness... was it settled?"

An Wuyang's face was grave. He knew this matter would definitely reach the Jing Emperor's ears, so there was no point in hiding it.

"Settled it is..."

But he couldn't quite feel happy. Unconsciously, his heart began to worry about the future.

Eunuch Liu knew what he should and shouldn't ask.

He took a small step forward, "Your Highness, here are the materials." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

An Wuyang reined in his worries, collected his emotions, and took the materials on Lu Ding.

He opened them.

He shot to his feet, "What!!!?"

"He's at the Fifth Restriction cultivation level already!!?"

"New city special envoy, single-handedly wiped out a local 749 Bureau branch in the new city, caused such a big commotion in Hanjing, broke Great Han's record for cross-level combat, and is now going to be dispatched to Great Jing as Great Han's special envoy!!?"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, prepare the beast-drawn carriage! I have to go receive him!!"

"This is too exaggerated. I have to ask him properly what good stuff he ate, how he improved so fast."

Eunuch Liu hurriedly stopped An Wuyang. He had known this would happen, "Your Highness, Your Highness, calm down a bit. You can't go out. Have you forgotten what His Majesty told you?"

Now, An Wuyang had gained confidence!!!

Lu Ding was already a special envoy, and Great Han's special envoy at that.

Great Han was who knows how much more formidable than Great Jing.

Just borrowing this prestige, he absolutely had to act like the fox borrowing the tiger's might.

"Lu Ding is a special envoy now. We are close friends, close friends, do you understand? In all of Great Jing, only I have the best relationship with him. If I don't go receive him, who will!?"

"Move aside, move aside."

"Ah, Your Highness, this old servant begs you. Please wait. Special Envoy Lu will arrive soon. You cannot move now. Anyone else can go receive him, but you alone cannot. Your bloodline concentration is so high, you are naturally destined to be Great Jing's Crown Prince. The reason you haven't faced excessively harsh targeting yet..."

"Is precisely because you have nothing."

"If you go to receive him now, the moment you step out the door, someone will follow you. You'll be hacked to death by random blades the moment you leave the city. The other princes, royal sons, and princesses cannot bear to see you have any opportunity to meet with Special Envoy Lu, who has everything."

An Wuyang slowly sat back down.

With one slap, he directly shattered a wooden table made of three-thousand-year-old wood into pieces.

His words were spoken through gritted teeth, "Good, good, good. You just wait, you just wait for me!!"

"You bully me when Lu Ding isn't here. Let's see who dares bully me when Lu Ding arrives!!?"

"I'm going to report all of you!!!"

"I'm going to make every single one of you suffer!!!"

An Wuyang's chest heaved as he grabbed the materials and continued reading.

He hadn't looked carefully before. Now, looking again, he was originally clever, and now that he was serious, he instantly spotted a blind spot in the materials.

"Dong Family Spirit Refinement realm ancestor, Dong Xun, is at large. Su Family Spirit Refinement realm ancestor, Su Changhe, is at large..."

An Wuyang narrowed his eyes, "Those two just now... they both seemed to be at the Spirit Refinement realm, and they came from Great Han..."

Although it's quite a coincidence, there's no story without coincidences.

Whether they specifically are or not, he'll know after Lu Ding arrives and they exchange information, then he can test them.

If they aren't, then forget it.

If they are...

Although these two were quite sincere and seemed quite convincing.

It wouldn't hinder An Wuyang from helping Lu Ding think of ways to deal with them.

After all, his relationship with Lu Ding.

Was not something these two 'live-in sons-in-law' could compare to.

Most importantly, once Lu Ding arrived, he had the possibility of not becoming emperor, taking control of his own destiny, and returning to Great Han with Lu Ding!!!

He was truly fed up with this damned place.

Before, there was no way out. Everywhere was a dead end, he couldn't get out, like a turtle in a jar.

Now, with the news of Lu Ding's impending arrival.

An Wuyang only felt the shackles and dead ends around him instantly disintegrate. Everything became clear.

So what if it's just waiting!!!

He could afford to wait!

"When Lu Ding arrives, I will definitely settle accounts with you, each and every one of you!!!"

"I want you all dead!!!"
