"Between nations, though there may be friendship, when interests are involved, they will naturally not act rashly!" Gu Wen stated directly.
Jiang Meili paused slightly: "If that's the case, why would they help us when we go to Juling Kingdom this time?"
"This trip to Juling Kingdom is not solely for Long Kingdom!"
Lu Fan said directly: "Cangqiong Kingdom has been rampant among nations. Juling Kingdom has long hated them. If we can unite various countries, we can suppress them!"
Only then did everyone understand why Lu Fan had come to Juling Kingdom.
Crossing the extraterrestrial battlefield, their figures arrived within the borders of Juling Kingdom. Gazing at the mountains and plains covered in butterflies, their hearts relaxed considerably.
"Juling Kingdom possesses quite dense spiritual energy, which Cangqiong Kingdom has long coveted. Our主动 approach to negotiate this time will surely be effective!" Han Yunhai said.
"I don't think things will be that smooth!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "Cangqiong Kingdom is the overlord of the nations. Not many countries are willing to offend them actively. Our mission this time is quite arduous!"
Everyone nodded slightly. After a journey, they arrived at Juling City, the central location of Juling Kingdom and the headquarters of Juling Kingdom.
Looking at the bustling streets and numerous luxury cars speeding along, Jiang Meili exclaimed, "I never expected Juling Kingdom to be so developed! It's no less than Longdu!"
"Naturally!"
Gu Wen nodded and said, "Juling Kingdom, and even other major nations, are comparable to Long Kingdom. Their economies are not vastly different. More importantly, Juling Kingdom has abundant resources and three major families. How prosperous is it!"
"I never expected you to know so much about Juling Kingdom!" Lu Fan looked at Gu Wen. "I underestimated you."
"Master, please don't say that!"
Gu Wen smiled awkwardly. "I just saw some records, so I know so much. I'm not even sure if it's accurate!"
"Sir, how do we get in touch with Juling Kingdom?" Han Yunhai frowned. "We don't know where Juling Kingdom's headquarters are. Finding them might not be easy!"
"Go and inquire about the location of the Juling City Lord's mansion!" Lu Fan instructed. "As long as we find the Juling City Lord, we can contact headquarters!"
Han Yunhai cupped his fists slightly and then began to inquire around.
Lu Fan and the others went to a noodle shop and sat down.
"Sirs, what kind of noodles would you like to eat?"
The boss came forward with a smile. "We have gourd noodles, purple dried noodles, and steamed white noodles!"
"Just bring a few servings!" Gu Wen said.
The boss nodded slightly and went into the kitchen. After preparing several bowls of noodles, he brought them to Lu Fan and the others. "Please enjoy, sirs. If it's not enough, I can add more!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly and began to eat slowly.
Meanwhile, within Juling City, in a courtyard, a middle-aged man frowned and looked towards a certain direction in Juling City, his expression shifting slightly.
"Old man, what's wrong? You seem quite vigilant today!"
Bai Hua Xue said, "You've never been like this before!"
"Distinguished guests have arrived in Juling City!"
Bai Hua Liuyun said, "It seems Juling Kingdom also cannot escape this calamity!"
"Distinguished guests?"
Bai Hua Xue asked in surprise, "Who could it be that makes you so solemn, Old Man?"
"It should be someone from Long Kingdom!"
Bai Hua Liuyun stated directly: "The family spies have already sent secret reports. Long Kingdom has sent people to Juling Kingdom, wanting to form an alliance with Juling Kingdom. Whether this is good or bad, I don't know!"
"Long Kingdom?" Bai Hua Xue rejoiced. "Of course, it's good news. Cangqiong Kingdom has always been overbearing and has been oppressing Juling Kingdom. If we can form an alliance, we can counter Cangqiong Kingdom!"
"Things are far more complicated than you think!"
Bai Hua Liuyun shook his head. "If a war breaks out, it will cause endless turmoil. I'm afraid even our Bai Hua family will face a catastrophe!"
"But if we ignore it, after Cangqiong Kingdom devours other nations, Juling Kingdom will cease to exist!" Bai Hua Xue said directly. "You should understand this, Old Man!"
Bai Hua Liuyun smiled wryly. How could he not know? That's why he was so resistant to this matter in his heart.
"By the way, who exactly did Long Kingdom send?"
Bai Hua Xue was curious. "The person sent to form an alliance must have a high status in Long Kingdom!"
"This person is the guardian deity of Long Kingdom. He has a very high reputation in Long Kingdom. With his reputation, he naturally has the qualifications to represent Long Kingdom!" Bai Hua Liuyun said directly.
"Long Kingdom's guardian deity? That Lord Lu?"
Bai Hua Xue was overjoyed. She hadn't expected Lu Fan to come to Juling Kingdom.
"Who else could it be!" Bai Hua Liuyun sighed. "I really never imagined that Long Kingdom would have such a powerful young man. At such a young age, his strength is extraordinary. He has a good reputation in the extraterrestrial battlefield!"
Before Bai Hua Liuyun could finish speaking, Bai Hua Xue had already left. Lu Fan had arrived in Juling Kingdom, and she wanted to host him well. How could she neglect him?
Seeing Bai Hua Xue leave, Bai Hua Liuyun looked lost. "This girl! She didn't even wait for me to finish speaking!"
And in the noodle shop, Lu Fan and the others were eating noodles when several figures approached, their auras not weak.
"Everyone in the noodle shop, get out! I'm taking over this noodle shop!" A burly man took out a stack of cash.
The noodle shop owner was also quite frightened. The clothing of these men was not someone he could afford to offend.
"My esteemed customers, you've almost finished eating. Why not leave first!" the owner said.
Gu Wen glanced and said, "We're still eating! Do we have to be kicked out for eating noodles?"
"Sirs, you may not know, but they are not ordinary people. You cannot offend them in Juling City!" the noodle shop owner said again.
The leading man also looked at Lu Fan and the others. "Are you deaf? Don't you understand what I'm saying!"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent, and he continued to eat his noodles. He hadn't expected to be treated like this as soon as he arrived in Juling Kingdom.
"This is a noodle shop, and we were here first!" Jiang Meili said sternly.
"I think you're not the first ones here, but the new ones, right?"
The leading man taunted. "We're wearing Baili family attire. Don't you even recognize that?"
"Baili family?"
Gu Wen smiled and said, "One of the three major families of Juling Kingdom, the Baili family? No wonder you're so arrogant! You've opened my eyes!"
"Since you know, then get lost quickly!"
The leading man said coldly. "My boss is arriving soon. He loves eating at this noodle shop, but he likes to be disturbed!"
"Looking at you, you must be Baili family guards!" Lu Fan glanced and said. "You're actually this arrogant!"
"You brat, are you tired of living!" The leading man was instantly displeased. "How dare you oppose the Baili family? Even the Juling City Lord doesn't dare to be so presumptuous in front of our Baili family!"
