First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!-Chapter 825: Fine, He’s Impressive—I Admit He’s the Real Deal!

......

Originally, An Wuyang would have felt that after Lu Ding backed him up and he needed to ask Lu Ding for help, he would inevitably lower his own position.

Now, hearing these words.

An Wuyang felt emboldened!

But the gratitude and excitement in his heart were not diminished by half, even surpassing before, because Lu Ding had taken care of his pride.

"Impressive, I'll admit he's impressive, I acknowledge he's the real deal."

As An Wuyang spoke, he lifted his left hand to adjust his wide sleeve, extended his right hand with a thumbs-up, giving a top-notch gesture.

Philip stood up and stepped aside.

He could ignore what kind of prince An Wuyang, who was only a prince in name, was like.

But when it involved Lu Ding, Philip had to respond seriously, striving to be flawless.

He gave a slight bow.

"Your Highness, Grand Duke Lu also asked me to relay to you, to put your mind at ease. When he arrives at the Royal Capital, all matters can be easily resolved. Then, grievances can be avenged, and grudges settled. It's nothing more than a muddy pit, he will pull you out himself."

By now, An Wuyang's emotions had already calmed.

Having waited so long already, he could manage this final stretch of time.

"Thank you, Mr. Philip. Please trouble yourself to tell Lu Ding that I know what to do now."

"Your Highness need not be so polite. After all, we are on the same side, aren't we?"

An Wuyang smiled. What a great 'same side'. The wind was truly strong enough to blow the White Eagle to his side.

But it didn't matter.

He didn't mind.

Even if they were drawing closer now, for him, it was still timely assistance.

They didn't chat for long before Philip returned.

They still had many matters to attend to and couldn't afford delays.

Others might not know, but how could they not? What Lu Ding valued most was efficiency.

As time passed, in less than half a day, the entire Great Jing knew about Lu Ding's actions at Shuntian Manor in Tianshun Prefecture.

The destruction of the Four Great Gates and Three Great Sects was chilling.

The achievement of defeating eleven named God Ascension experts single-handedly was awe-inspiring.

It sounded just like a fantasy tale, too incredible to believe. At the same time, they were also enraged by Lu Ding's brutality that went beyond decisive killing.

Various factions, taverns, and cities across the land were all discussing this topic.

"This is too much! The Four Great Gates, the Three Great Sects, eleven God Ascension experts, nearly a hundred thousand of our Great Jing's Qi Refiners, all died at the hands of one man. Such brutal actions are simply infuriating to both gods and men!!"

Bang!!

Someone slammed the table.

"I just heard Lu Ding is coming to Great Jing to destroy our country and break our backbone. I thought it was just alarmist talk, but I didn't expect facts to prove it so quickly. He has only reached Tianshun Prefecture now. If he reaches the Royal Capital, will Great Jing still be called Great Jing!!?"

"The officials are useless, the court is incompetent, the emperor is foolish. We can only save ourselves. Great Jing belongs to all of us, we do not wish to become a vassal of Great Han!!!"

"That's right, although Great Han is powerful, we of Great Jing don't covet it!!!"

"Great Han is just a bit better than us in technology, a bit higher in citizen benefits, a bit stronger in medical standards, a bit more detailed in humanistic care, a bit superior in military strength, a bit more advanced in economic development........."

Alright, the speaker couldn't continue.

Because before he could finish his sentence, everyone in the room cast their gazes at him.

Their expressions were fierce and vicious, as if they wanted to devour him alive.

Someone with a fiery temper directly cursed: "Where are you even from? You traitor to Jing!!!!"

"Boosting others' morale, diminishing our own prestige, what's the use of saying all this? We can only rely on ourselves. Even by relying on ourselves alone, we can live better than others!!"

Although most people held a hostile attitude towards Lu Ding.

There were also those with clear minds.

"I think there's a problem here. We seem to have gotten the sequence wrong. Lu Ding's diplomatic mission never publicly stated the reason. What if it's just simple diplomatic relations?"

"Moreover, if Great Han truly had designs on Great Jing, shouldn't they just send a massive army to pressure the border? Why send Lu Ding for this unnecessary move?"

"Furthermore, regarding the Tianshun Prefecture incident, the news I heard should be similar to everyone else's: the major forces in Tianshun Prefecture, led by the Dragon Tiger Gate, gathered at Shuntian Manor to 'block Lu's southward advance,' which is why Lu Ding killed his way over."

As soon as her words came out, they were immediately refuted.

A 'youth' with a fair, beardless face from Great Han spoke with an unfriendly tone: "Beardless youngster, you are utterly hopeless. Being so pro-Han, don't you know Great Han has a kind of sophistry called 'victim blaming'?"

"What's the difference between your words and saying 'it takes two to tango'?"

"If Great Han hadn't sent Lu Ding on this mission, if Lu Ding hadn't killed the liaison envoy and our Great Jing subjects in Laicheng, why would the forces in Tianshun Prefecture 'block Lu's southward advance'?"

"This clearly shows they discovered Lu Ding's wolfish ambition, discovered Great Han's ulterior motives."

The 'youth' looked at the disheveled, bare-chested man in surprise and said something unrelated to the topic: "You're quite learned after all. Indeed, one shouldn't judge a book by its cover."

The man instantly froze.

The remaining words in his mouth were stuck, unable to come out. He felt as if he had punched cotton.

After a long silence, he roared loudly: "Outrageous! Talking to you is simply an insult to propriety."

The man, built like a large bear, turned and left with a flick of his sleeve, hands clasped behind his back.

The feeling was indescribably strange.

At this moment, the 'youth' wanted to say something more.

Suddenly, a young man in brocade robes, with an extremely effeminate air, walked over and spoke up to stop her: "Young Master, it's time for us to return."

The 'youth' sat down angrily: "What? Going back so early......."

"I haven't had enough fun yet, I'm not going back!"

She crossed her arms and just sat on the stool.

This youth was none other than the biological daughter of the current Great Jing old emperor's second son, Prince Zhao. Because Prince Zhao was often away on military campaigns, with outstanding military achievements, firstly to appease Prince Zhao and secondly to display imperial favor, Prince Zhao's only daughter was raised in the palace.

At first, it was fine, but as time went on, Zhao Ning, whose wild nature followed her father's, found it increasingly unbearable in the palace, and she didn't get along with others.

Mainly because her personality was too lawless and unruly. Relying on her father's military power, she was utterly arrogant and domineering.

Later, by chance, while looking for trouble with the young prince An Xuancheng, she met the fake eunuch Ning Xiaofan. Because Ning Xiaofan's name also contained the character 'Ning,' she targeted him, repeatedly trying to prank him, but he cleverly resolved each attempt. Back and forth, their relationship became quite good, but only in comparison to others in the palace.

Including the other female attendant disguised as a man by her side now, who was also arranged by Ning Xiaofan.

Her identity was precisely the Yellow Heaven Sect demoness that Ning Xiaofan had rescued from the Great Jing Pestle Department!

It was also a case of the darkest place being under the lamp. The most dangerous place was the safest.
