"Nations may have friendships, but when interests are involved, they naturally won't act rashly!" Gu Wen stated directly.
Jiang Meili was slightly stunned, "If that's the case, why would they help us when we go to Juling Country this time?"
"This trip to Juling Country is not solely for Long Country!"
Lu Fan said directly, "Cang Qiong Country has been rampant among nations, and Juling Country has long hated them. If we can unite the various countries, we can suppress them!"
Only then did everyone understand why Lu Fan had come to Juling Country.
After crossing the extraterrestrial battlefield, the few of them arrived within Juling Country. Looking at the vast expanse of butterflies, their hearts relaxed considerably.
"Juling Country possesses quite dense spiritual energy, which has long been coveted by Cang Qiong Country. Our主动 approach to peace talks this time is bound to be effective!" Han Yunhai said.
"I don't think things will go that smoothly!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "Cang Qiong Country 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 Country and the headquarters of Juling Country.
Looking at the bustling city with numerous luxury cars speeding on the road, Jiang Meili exclaimed, "I never expected Juling Country to be so developed! It's no less than Long Du!"
"Naturally!"
Gu Wen nodded, "Juling Country, and even other great nations, are comparable to Long Country. Their economies are not much different. More importantly, Juling Country possesses abundant resources and three major families. How prosperous!"
"I never expected you to know so much about Juling Country!" Lu Fan looked at Gu Wen. "I underestimated you."
"Master, please don't say that!"
Gu Wen smiled awkwardly. "I only 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 Country?" Han Yunhai frowned. "We don't know where the Juling Country headquarters is. Finding it might not be easy!"
"Go inquire about the location of the Juling City Lord's Mansion!" Lu Fan said. "As long as we find the Juling City Lord, we can contact the 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 owner came forward and smiled, "We have gourd noodles, purple dried noodles, and steamed white noodles!"
"Just bring a few portions!" Gu Wen said.
The owner nodded slightly and then went into the kitchen. After preparing several bowls of noodles, he brought them to Lu Fan and the others. "Please enjoy. 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, looking in a certain direction of Juling City, his expression slightly changing.
"Dad, what's wrong? You seem quite vigilant today!"
Bai Hua Xue said, "You've never been like this before!"
"There are distinguished guests arriving in Juling City!"
Bai Hua Liuyun said, "It seems Juling Country cannot escape this calamity either!"
"Distinguished guests?"
Bai Hua Xue was surprised. "Who could it be that makes you so serious, Dad?"
"It should be someone from Long Country!"
Bai Hua Liuyun said directly, "The family's secret agents have already reported that Long Country has sent people to Juling Country to seek an alliance. I don't know if this is good or bad!"
"Long Country?" Bai Hua Xue rejoiced. "Of course, it's good news! Cang Qiong Country has always been overbearing and has been oppressing Juling Country. If we can form an alliance, we can counter Cang Qiong Country!"
"Things are far from as simple as 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 great catastrophe!"
"But if we ignore it, after Cang Qiong Country devours other nations, Juling Country will cease to exist!" Bai Hua Xue said directly. "You should understand this, Dad!"
Bai Hua Liuyun gave a wry smile. How could he not understand? That's why he was so resistant to this matter in his heart.
"By the way, who exactly did Long Country send?"
Bai Hua Xue was curious. "The person sent to form an alliance must hold a significant position in Long Country!"
"This person is the guardian deity of Long Country. He has a very high reputation in Long Country. With his reputation, he is naturally qualified to represent Long Country!" Bai Hua Liuyun stated directly.
"The guardian deity of Long Country? That Lord Lu?"
Bai Hua Xue was overjoyed. She hadn't expected Lu Fan to come to Juling Country.
"Who else could it be!" Bai Hua Liuyun sighed. "I truly didn't expect Long Country to have such a formidable young man. At such a young age, his strength is extraordinary, and he has a considerable reputation in the extraterrestrial battlefield!"
Before Bai Hua Liuyun could finish speaking, Bai Hua Xue had already left. Since Lu Fan had arrived in Juling Country, she had to entertain him properly and couldn't possibly neglect him.
Seeing Bai Hua Xue leave, Bai Hua Liuyun also looked bewildered. "This girl! She didn't even wait for me to finish speaking!"
Meanwhile, 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 said, pulling out a stack of cash.
The owner of the noodle shop was also quite startled. The attire of these men was not something he could afford to offend.
"My esteemed guests, you've almost finished eating. Why don't you leave first!" the owner said.
Gu Wen glanced over. "We're still eating! Do we have to be kicked out for eating noodles?"
"Sirs, you may not know this, but they are not ordinary people. You cannot afford to offend them in Juling City!" the owner said again, slightly flustered.
The man in the lead also looked at Lu Fan and the others. "Are you deaf? Can't you understand what I'm saying!"
Lu Fan's expression was indifferent. He continued eating his noodles. He hadn't expected to be treated like this so soon after arriving in Juling Country.
"This is a noodle shop, and we were here first!" Jiang Meili said sternly.
"I think you're not the first to arrive, but the newcomers, aren't you?"
The man in the lead taunted. "We're wearing Baili family attire. Don't you even recognize this?"
"Baili family?"
Gu Wen smiled. "One of the three major families of Juling Country, the Baili family? No wonder you're so arrogant! You've truly opened my eyes!"
"Since you know, then get out quickly!"
The man in the lead said coldly. "My boss will be here soon. He loves eating this noodle shop's noodles, but he dislikes being disturbed!"
"Looking at you, you must be Baili family guards!" Lu Fan glanced at them. "You're actually this arrogant!"
"You brat, are you tired of living!" The man in the lead was instantly displeased. "How dare you oppose the Baili family? Even the Juling City Lord doesn't dare to be so presumptuous before my Baili family!"
