First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!-Chapter 826: The Princess Who Wants to See Lu Ding—The Water Is So Cold

.....

Hearing her say she wouldn't go back, the Yellow Heaven Sect demoness secretly clenched her fist inside her sleeve.

After all, she was also the Holy Maiden of the Great Jing branch of the Yellow Heaven Sect. Even though her identity hadn't been exposed yet, and even Ning Xiaofan didn't know, being the Holy Maiden was a fact. In the past, it was always others who served her.

Now, for the sake of the plan, she had actively sacrificed herself to act as a maid for this unruly princess.

And this princess was disrupting her plan!!!

The Yellow Heaven Sect demoness was so angry she felt a bit dizzy.

This time, An Ning's secret escape from the palace partly involved Ning Xiaofan's instigation, intending for the Yellow Heaven Sect demoness to follow Princess An Ning out of the palace to contact old subordinates and secretly pass on messages about dealing with Lu Ding.

But now, they had just come out, and the messages hadn't even been sent yet.

They had already learned a bombshell piece of news.

Lu Ding had single-handedly killed eleven God Ascension cultivators.

How do you even deal with that?

It wasn't that the Great Jing branch of the Yellow Heaven Sect couldn't do it, but even if they could, they definitely wouldn't be as effortless as Lu Ding.

Unless they mobilized the Spirit Refinement powerhouses of the Yellow Heaven Sect.

But that was one of the trump cards for the Yellow Heaven Sect's development in Great Jing. If they were mobilized just because of a word from Ning Xiaofan... he wasn't worthy of that.

Even though there was a life-saving debt, the Yellow Heaven Sect demoness still felt she needed to go back and seriously discuss this with Ning Xiaofan. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

But now, An Ning actually didn't want to go back.

If she didn't go back, what about the messages?

The Yellow Heaven Sect demoness took a deep breath, "Princess An Ning, if we don't go back now, it will be too late. When His Majesty finds out..."

An Ning tilted her head slightly with an arrogant expression, "My father is Prince Zhao. At most, His Majesty will just scold me a few words."

Yellow Heaven Sect demoness: ????

What about me?

You don't care about my life or death?

Right now, I'm your maid, and I'm the one who accompanied you sneaking out. When the time comes, that old fool the Jing Emperor might not dare to punish you, but he'd dare to have me beaten to death. My current identity can't be exposed yet; I still need to use this identity to do many things.

"Your Highness, you..."

"Are you the princess, or am I the princess? I'm saying I'm not going back. Not only am I not going back, I'm also going to..."

At this point, An Ning's eyes shifted, revealing a cunning glint.

The Yellow Heaven Sect demoness was puzzled, "Going to what?"

"I'm going to see Lu Ding. I don't believe Lu Ding is the kind of person they say he is."

The Yellow Heaven Sect demoness instantly panicked. Damn it, how was this getting more and more messed up?

She lowered her voice, "No, Your Highness, Lu Ding is a fierce man with an epithet like Corpse-Shattering Taishui. With your precious, noble body going to find him, your safety cannot be guaranteed."

An Ning remained in her self-willed state, "I don't believe it."

"My father is often away on military campaigns. Although he's not personally close to the Han, he has nothing but praise for the Great Han's national character and strength. As my father says, with different ideologies, it's absolutely impossible to walk the same path, but that doesn't affect acknowledging the other side's strength and integrity."

One side upholds feudalism, maintaining the supremacy of imperial authority, while the other side is **ism, firmly putting the people first. Of course, they can't piss in the same pot.

"Even my father says this, so how could the Great Han possibly send the kind of ferocious, evil person these people describe as an envoy to Great Jing? I must go see for myself. I heard Clear Bright Lake is gathering talents from all directions, just like Tianshun Prefecture, blocking Lu Ding's inevitable path. He'll definitely go there. I need to go see."

Idiot!!!

The Yellow Heaven Sect demoness cursed in her heart.

How did she end up with such an unruly princess?

Clearly born into the royal family.

Yet she acts without any consideration of the consequences.

This stupid woman, if she wasn't still useful, if she wasn't the only daughter of her father whom one must be wary of, if killing her wouldn't cause the heavily-armed Prince Zhao to go completely berserk, she would definitely kill this An Ning right here on the spot!

Even though she really wanted to kill An Ning.

But she couldn't, because if Prince Zhao went berserk, not only would she have a bad time, the entire Great Jing branch of the Yellow Heaven Sect would have a bad time.

Before this Yellow Heaven Sect Holy Maiden could think of the right words to dissuade her.

She saw An Ning stand up, "Alright, I've decided to set off now, so we don't miss it. Are you coming or not? If you're not going, you can go back to the palace."

Yellow Heaven Sect Holy Maiden: .......

We left as two people, but I'd return as one.

When the time comes, I probably wouldn't even know how I died.

That old fool the Jing Emperor is already aged, his suspicion and killing intent growing heavier by the day. Once anything seems off, his response is just one word: kill!!

If she went back alone, she would definitely be in trouble.

The Yellow Heaven Sect Holy Maiden could only brace herself.

Gritting her teeth, she forced a relaxed tone and said, "I'll go with you."

"Hmm, not bad, good awareness. This princess has high hopes for you. Let's go, Little Flower."

Hearing this incredibly tacky name, the Yellow Heaven Sect Holy Maiden clenched her fist again. Little Flower.......

Besides Princess An Ning and this Yellow Heaven Sect Holy Maiden, who had originally given up on dealing with Lu Ding but was now being forced back onto this path.

There were also many other figures on their way to Clear Bright Lake.

At this moment, the forces originally planning to block Lu Ding at Clear Bright Lake were completely stuck in a dilemma.

Originally, what they thought was, those idiots at Tianshun Prefecture should be enough, after all, Lu Ding was only at the Fifth Restriction. Even in the worst-case scenario, if the Tianshun Prefecture people lost.

Then they could just scatter like monkeys when the tree falls.

Anyway, there was still Four Dukes Mountain holding the line behind them.

With Tianshun Prefecture 'Blocking Lu's Southward Advance' in front and Four Dukes Mountain 'Resisting Lu in the Central Plains' behind, the Clear Bright Lake in the middle, judging by the operation name, wasn't from the same litter. 'Gathering Talents from All Directions' didn't really get to the point at all.

In reality, these forces rallying at Clear Bright Lake just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to fish for some reputation. If there was a chance to beat a drowning dog, then with many hitting few, everyone would dare to take a swing. But the problem was, that opportunity didn't exist now.

And people from all directions were arriving in even greater numbers.

This left the various sects and schools of 'Clear Bright Lake' who feared Lu Ding unable to scatter, yet uncomfortable staying gathered, utterly stuck here.

If they scattered, not only would they fail to gain any reputation, they would directly become infamous, deserting on the eve of battle, and especially under such tense relations between Lu Ding and Great Jing. In the future, they would be nailed to the Pillar of Shame.

Clear Bright Lake.

The landscape was like a painting, misty and hazy, with green hues filling the sky, just waiting for the misty rain to fall, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

This was also the origin of Clear Bright Lake's name.

No matter the time, all four seasons, this region always had the appearance of the Qingming Festival with its drizzling rain. The scenery was beautiful, yes, but you couldn't even dry your underwear.

In the pavilion at the lake's center.

A chessboard, human figures, Confucian sleeves, the sound of conversation.

"Maybe we should follow the situation and fight."

"The four great schools and three major sects that went to Shuntian Manor from Tianshun Prefecture were wiped out clean. If we fight Lu Ding, even if we can win, how many do you think would survive?"

"Then consider the present, avoid creating killing karma, and first avoid his sharp edge?"

The hand placing the chess piece paused upon hearing this. Looking up, one could see a figure with good looks and refined temperament, with beard and hair, reaching out to beckon some lake water.

He said one sentence, "So cold..."
