The Secret to Picking Up Girls

"Alas, now is precisely the time when our Donghua Nation needs to unite with one heart and face the external enemy. Why are we fighting amongst ourselves!" Lan Ruo sighed, her expression hesitant.

"Lan-jie, why are you thinking so much? Anyway, that kid is just unlucky. He's so bad, and you're still worrying about him. Are you running a fever?" As she spoke, Ling Wei placed her hand on Lan Ruo's forehead, looking at her as if she were strange.

Lan Ruo smiled wryly and shook her head, saying to Ling Wei, "I'm not worried about that kid. Moreover, as I see it, that person is not a simple character. If a major conflict is triggered because of him, not only me, but the entire Donghua Nation will suffer. Have you forgotten the scene from over twenty years ago?"

Upon hearing about the scene from over twenty years ago, Ling Wei fell silent immediately. A trace of lingering fear appeared on her face. Because, more than twenty years ago, it was because someone from the National Security Bureau offended the Fallen God that the National Security Bureau gathered most of its elites to intercept and kill the Fallen God. However, the result was that the National Security Bureau lost its elite troops and suffered a great loss of vitality, from which it has not yet recovered. Although Ling Wei and Lan Ruo may not have even been born more than twenty years ago, there are still extremely detailed records of this in the internal archives of the National Security Department, so they still know the past events very clearly.

"Hmph! How can that kid be compared to the Fallen God? Lan-jie! You think too highly of him! In my opinion, he is an utter rogue. This time, it's rare for him to run into trouble, and I'll just watch how he deals with it," Ling Wei said, still looking unconvinced.

Lan Ruo sighed upon hearing this and said, "Kawahashi Ikken will cross to the east in a few days. Instead of focusing all their attention on dealing with this former enemy, the various factions are now creating more trouble. If things get out of hand, I think the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Hearing Lan Ruo's words, which seemed to be pessimistic about the experts from the Seven Factions, Ling Wei looked at Lan Ruo with some worry and said, "Lan-jie, is Kawahashi Ikken really that powerful? Could it be… could it be that even my master, Tianjue Shangren, is not his opponent?"

Lan Ruo glanced at Ling Wei, who was looking at her nervously, shook her head, and sighed helplessly, saying, "Alas, you only need to know that back then, even the almost unstoppable Fallen God could only suffer a pyrrhic victory against him, and you'll know how terrifying he is. Moreover, twenty years have passed, and no one knows the extent of Kawahashi Ikken's power. Even if he maintains the same strength as he had back then, I think the experts from the various factions are unlikely to be optimistic!"

After hearing Lan Ruo's words, although Ling Wei was still somewhat unconvinced, she did not argue but lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Ling Wei, I know that Tianjue Shangren loves you the most. I wonder if you can stop her and have her come forward to quell this disturbance first. We can talk about it after repelling Kawahashi Ikken, this enemy," Lan Ruo said, looking at Ling Wei, who was silent beside her.

Ling Wei was stunned upon hearing this and quickly shook her head, saying, "Lan-jie, I won't do it! Although Master loves me very much, she won't listen to me on such an important matter. Moreover, she is currently in seclusion, preparing for the decisive battle, and has no time to pay attention to me! Besides, it's not like you don't know the origins of the Four Great Families and the Kongtong, Diancang, Huashan, and Emei sects. They will never let this go."
