"War!"
"War!"
"War!"
Within Tianxian City, the soldiers, upon hearing the news, let out earth-shattering roars, as if this command was what they had most longed to hear.
Listening to the cheers, tears welled up in the Dragon Emperor's eyes, and he felt immense self-reproach. If he were strong enough, how could this day's events have occurred?
After a period of discussion, everyone dispersed. Except for a small number of people guarding the city, the rest went to rest nearby.
The sky was filled with countless stars, illuminating the entire Tianxian City with a gentle glow.
On the city walls, Princess Linglong, feeling the evening breeze, gazed up at the starry sky, her heart deeply moved.
After this battle, the entire Tianxian City was filled with a palpable killing intent. However, as the war ceased, this killing intent also dissipated.
"Still not resting so late? Aren't you tired?"
Lu Fan appeared, arriving on the city walls.
"You haven't rested either!"
Princess Linglong smiled, "However, for this battle, I must thank the驸马. If not for you, the White Dragon Dynasty would likely be in peril!"
"You're just teasing me!"
Lu Fan chuckled, "But speaking of which, I advocate for attacking the Jiutian Dynasty. What do you think?"
"Naturally, it's an excellent idea!"
Princess Linglong nodded, "For years, the Jiutian Dynasty has been covetous and has not taken the White Dragon Dynasty seriously. Now that there's a great opportunity, why should we let it slip away easily!"
"Precisely!"
Lu Fan agreed, "That's what I think too. The Jiutian Dynasty is so arrogant. If we don't make them pay a price, other dynasties will surely think the White Dragon Dynasty is easy to bully. At that time, it will be extremely disadvantageous for the White Dragon Dynasty!"
"I know all this, of course!"
Princess Linglong smiled and walked closer to Lu Fan, "So, no matter what decision you make, I will support you!"
Lu Fan was slightly taken aback. Princess Linglong's sudden proximity allowed him to catch a whiff of her fragrance.
"Ahem, if there's nothing else, I'll go rest now!" Lu Fan coughed lightly and prepared to leave.
"Lu Fan, after this war is over, let's get married!"
Princess Linglong spoke, "You are someone I can entrust my life to!"
Lu Fan froze, his expression shifting. In his heart, he had already decided to leave on his own after the matters of the White Dragon Dynasty were resolved.
Although Princess Linglong was excellent, in Lu Fan's heart, there was only one person, and he could no longer accommodate anyone else.
"What's wrong? You don't want to?" Princess Linglong was surprised.
"Your Highness, you think too much!"
Lu Fan chuckled, "It's best to get some sleep early!"
After speaking, Lu Fan turned and left, his expression becoming complicated.
On the city walls, Princess Linglong paused slightly, looking bewildered. She could sense that Lu Fan did not seem to have much interest in her.
"Princess, what's wrong?"
Xiao Qing approached, looking surprised, "We won the battle, you should be happy. Why the long face?"
"Xiao Qing, does the驸马 dislike me?"
Princess Linglong said aggrievedly, "Did I do something wrong, making the驸马 like this?"
"Princess, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Xiao Qing quickly said, "How could the驸马 dislike the Princess? So many people wish they could have the Princess! If the驸马 truly didn't care about you, Princess, you could find someone better!"
"No, I only want him!"
Princess Linglong began to cry. She had never felt so sad. In the past, she had always been carefree, believing that Lu Fan was hers and no one could take him away. But today, she realized that things were not as she had imagined.
"Princess, don't worry, the驸马 must like you!"
Xiao Qing said repeatedly, "If not, why would the驸马 fight so hard for the White Dragon Dynasty? All of this is for the Princess!"
"Really?"
A flicker of emotion in her eyes, Princess Linglong immediately perked up. She genuinely liked Lu Fan and was naturally quite excited.
"Of course, it's true. The驸马 truly cares about the Princess!" Xiao Qing nodded.
Princess Linglong calmed her emotions. After being comforted by Xiao Qing, she became much more cheerful.
As Lu Fan descended the city walls, he saw Liu Qianjiao approaching him, her demeanor exuding charm.
"I was looking for you everywhere, I didn't expect you to be here!"
"Why are you looking for me, Valley Master?"
Lu Fan asked, feeling a bit curious.
"You want the people of the Shenlong Hall to go to the Jiutian Dynasty?" Liu Qianjiao frowned, "He doesn't know about this. If he finds out, you might be in danger!"
"That old man is quite nice!"
Lu Fan shrugged, "He probably won't do anything to me!"
"You might not know, the Jiutian Dynasty has deep foundations. If you truly go to deal with the Jiutian Dynasty, the experts of the Shenlong Hall might not be able to retreat unscathed!"
Liu Qianjiao said frankly, "These experts are the culmination of his life's work!"
"Is the Valley Master heartbroken?"
Lu Fan smiled, "No wonder there were rumors that you and the Master of the Shenlong Hall had a close relationship. Seeing you today, it seems to be true!"
"Stop joking around, I'm talking about serious matters!"
Liu Qianjiao said directly, "The Jiutian Dynasty has deep foundations. You must be fully prepared!"
"Thank you for the reminder, Valley Master!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, "But since I've chosen to act, there's no turning back!"
Liu Qianjiao frowned. She knew Lu Fan's personality and felt somewhat helpless. She naturally saw the current situation clearly.
"Do you really want many experts to accompany them to their deaths?"
"That's a different way of putting it!"
Lu Fan shook his head, "The Jiutian Dynasty is already at the end of its rope. Now, with the Shenlong Hall joining the White Dragon Dynasty, it's like adding wings to a tiger. This is the best opportunity!"
"Within the Jiutian Dynasty, there are many sects. If you want to deal with the Jiutian Dynasty, those sects will never stand by idly!"
Liu Qianjiao said frankly, "At that time, even with the protection of the Shenlong Hall, you might not be able to retreat unscathed!"
"Valley Master, how could I not know these things!"
Lu Fan chuckled, "But if the White Dragon Dynasty doesn't retaliate, what will become of its majesty in the future!"
Liu Qianjiao stood frozen, unsure how to respond. However, she was certain that this expedition to the Jiutian Dynasty was a wrong choice.
"Alright, Valley Master, you don't need to say more!"
Lu Fan waved his hand, "This battle, the Jiutian Dynasty must pay a price!"
"Foolish!"
Liu Qianjiao shook her head, feeling helpless. If she were not Lu Fan's opponent, she might have even knocked him unconscious.
Dealing with the Jiutian Dynasty was not that easy, and she understood this very well.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have gone to see the Dragon Emperor!"
Lu Fan said directly, "The Dragon Emperor did not agree with your suggestion, so you came to discuss it with me!"
"That's right!"
Liu Qianjiao nodded, "I just don't want you all to be utterly destroyed and regret it later! If that happens, wouldn't it be tragic!"
