The crystal skull merely offered a warning. It knew Luochen would not be afraid, but this matter would ultimately be rather troublesome.
Luochen had originally been considering whether to simply fight his way out with great fanfare. After all, Luo Wuji would not fear these so-called experts.
However, a phone call from Su Lingchu dispelled that thought.
Because if Luochen truly went on a killing spree tonight, setting aside how many people he could actually kill, it would absolutely trigger a world war! By then, Fushan would likely be destroyed outright. After all, with so many experts joining the battle, the destructive power was absolutely not to be underestimated.
And the consequences would definitely be extremely troublesome. If over a hundred international experts perished today, the repercussions would likely extend beyond Luochen alone. They would implicate Huaxia.
After all, some things are bottom lines, which even Luochen was unwilling to touch now.
“Mr. Luo, someone has come to the door to escort us.” Professor An pushed open the study door and spoke at this moment.
“Let’s go.” Luochen hung up the phone.
Walking out the door, he saw it was Feilong.
“Mr. Luo, long time no see.” Feilong hurriedly stood up and saluted Luochen upon seeing him arrive. Nowadays, it was widely rumoured domestically that if Luo Wuji returned to the country, he would certainly be killed.
One could even say Luochen’s prestige within the country had dropped to its lowest point. But Feilong, from his very first contact with Luochen in Xinzhou, knew that this man before him, let alone the domestic Qingmang, could not be threatened by this man even if more formidable figures appeared.
Because this man was unfathomably deep.
However, Feilong had not come alone. Beside Feilong was another woman.
That woman had a haughty bearing, wearing a capable and experienced suit. One glance told you she was not easy to get along with.
Yet this woman was exceptionally beautiful. Her face had that mature and domineering queen-like vibe.
And her figure had curves where it should be curved, and firmness where it should be firm, not inferior to many celebrities at all. Only her age was certainly already past thirty.
Feilong was about to introduce her, but unexpectedly this woman spoke first.
“So you are Luo Wuji?”
“You are far from what the rumours suggest. I thought you would have three heads and six arms.” The woman spoke with a tone of slight disappointment.
“Miss Tang, what you just said is a bit…”
“I am not one of your military people. Excuse me, but I am from the Security Bureau. How I speak is not for you to interrupt.” Tang Jing retorted, not giving Feilong any face whatsoever. She was a deputy director of the Security Bureau, with a rather high position there, and also a figure of real power.
But she was only just past thirty now. To be able to sit in the deputy director’s seat at this age, one could well imagine that this was absolutely an extremely capable person. The key point was that she was also a woman!
One could further guess that this woman’s methods and abilities were absolutely terrifying.
At least before Luochen appeared, in that circle of Longdu, she was what certain people called the true number one of the younger generation.
After all, compared to those so-called rich second generations or official second generations, she was a genuinely big shot.
It was just that for the past year or two she had been on peacekeeping missions abroad, and had only recently returned to Huaxia.
Upon returning to Huaxia, she naturally heard about matters concerning Luo Wuji. After all, Huaxia’s number one person, Huaxia’s richest man, and that title of Major General, it was hard not to hear people around her mention him.
She had naturally heard quite a lot about the grievances between the Security Bureau and Luochen. In fact, this time, the Security Bureau sending her was precisely with the intention of reconciling with Luochen.
But Tang Jing still felt somewhat unconvinced inside. After all, Luochen’s brilliance was too dazzling, and he was even younger than her.
She had also been a favoured child of heaven. To be able to sit in the deputy director’s position past thirty, one could well imagine how proud she was of this. In the past when she returned to the country, people around her would always praise her for how dazzling she was.
But this time, almost everyone mentioned Luo Wuji. Even her family’s nanny would bring up the name Luo Wuji during casual conversation.
She had originally thought Luochen would be something truly eye-catching, but after meeting him in person and looking at him, apart from being somewhat delicate and pretty, there did not seem to be anything special about him.
That was why Tang Jing had spoken those words with slight disappointment.
But Luochen did not bother with her, or rather, with Luochen’s current status and identity, there was simply no need to deliberately fuss over anything with Tang Jing.
“My apologies, I spoke out of turn. I hope Mr. Luo won’t mind.” Tang Jing suddenly changed her tone, but there was still a trace of contempt in her eyes.
She was very clear about the domestic situation now. Although many people still mentioned Luochen, far more had sided with Qingmang.
She had also seen Qingmang of Qingcheng Mountain, and had even gone out to dinner with Qingmang alone twice.
From a woman’s perspective, although Luochen was delicate and pretty, not so much a passerby in a crowd, in terms of looks he was far inferior when compared to Qingmang.
The most important thing was temperament. That temperament of Qingmang’s was enough to make even Tang Jing, who planned to stay single forever, unable to help but feel her heart flutter.
As for Luochen, that seemed rather ordinary, even mediocre.
There was simply no way to compare him to Qingmang.
“It’s fine, let’s go.” Luochen nodded, turned around, and went to get the Ares War Spear.
But Tang Jing furrowed her brows, because she only now realised that Luochen seemed not to have looked at her even once just now.
She was a deputy director after all, and Luochen actually dared to disregard her so?
“Your Mr. Luo has quite the temper.” Tang Jing could not help but snort coldly at Feilong.
But this was clearly meant as mockery of Luochen.
“Miss Tang, I advise you to be a bit more polite and respectful towards him.” Feilong advised from the side.
“I have already been very polite to him.” A disdainful smile appeared at the corner of Tang Jing’s mouth.
“Besides, if he wants my politeness, he needs to have the ability for it. Does he still think he is the number one person in the country?” Tang Jing snorted coldly.
“Don’t you know what the domestic situation is like now?”
“After Luo Wuji returns, who will even pay him any attention?” Tang Jing spoke with her arms crossed.
In this short period of time, all the major wealthy families and powerful figures in the country had submitted beneath Qingmang’s feet.
Some were deterred by Qingmang’s martial might, while others had genuinely defected to Qingmang’s side.
After all, the strength Qingmang had displayed now was indeed far greater than Luochen’s.
Most of Luochen’s previous strength and abilities were hearsay. Very few people had seen it.
But Qingmang was different. Every time he made a move, Qingmang had someone livestream the scene.
Naturally, this made many people even more certain of Qingmang’s position.
And most importantly, Qingmang had now openly declared:
As long as Luo Wuji dared to return to the country, he could slay Luo Wuji!
