Mu Bao Bao couldn't help revealing a shy look when she heard this, but in the end, she still said, "He's my man, what else could he be?"

When General Lu heard this, he immediately knitted his brows and revealed a displeased look. But he calmed himself down before saying, "Your highness, it's best if you don't say this in the future. You are about to take the throne and it wouldn't be beneficial to you to admit something like this. Especially when the other side doesn't have a status that suits you."

Mu Bao Bao surprisingly hadn't said a single thing when General Lu said this, but the look on her face was getting more and more dark.

It was clear that she wasn't happy about what General Lu was saying.

When General Lu finally finished his rant on how Lin Fan wasn't right for her, Mu Bao Bao calmly said, "Are you done?"

General Lu couldn't help feeling a bit strange hearing this, but he still said, "Your highness, I beg you to consider this seriously."

Mu Bao Bao just calmly said, "I will only say this once, so listen carefully."

General Lu couldn't help being caught off guard hearing this, but he still gave a nod in response to this.

Mu Bao Bao said in a firm voice, "If you're telling me to pick between him and the throne, I would give up the throne every time. The only reason that I'm even talking to that man and taking this throne is because he convinced me to do so. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have cared about the Mu Empire, the Mu Royal Family, or any of this at all. So be careful how you speak around him in the future."

General Lu took a step back after hearing all of this.

He was completely overwhelmed by the strong tone that Mu Bao Bao had taken.

Not for a single second could he believe that she would be so adamant about this matter, but in the end…that was what was happening. She was even threatening to give up the throne if she couldn't be with him…

Just what had happened between them that she would feel this way about this kid?

After all, as far as he could tell, there wasn't a single thing about this kind that made it seem like he would be a good match for Mu Bao Bao. 

No matter how he looked at it, it seemed more likely that he was threatening her in some way to make her stay with him…

But in the end, he couldn't prove a thing.

And right now, they needed to focus on the thing in front of them which was the fight that was about to happen. They couldn't afford to have anything distract them during this important attack on the Gale Sect.

So for now, all he could do was accept Lin Fan's existence and figure out this mystery later.

With a sigh, General Lu said, "Your highness, I recognize my mistake. My words may have been a bit too harsh just now and I apologize for that."

Mu Bao Bao narrowed her eyes to look at General Lu.

She could tell that his words were not sincere, but right now…she also knew that they needed to work together to take down the Gale Sect.

So she should calm down and work with General Lu instead of aggravating the situation even more.

But she was still unhappy that the person that she loved was being looked down on like this, so it wasn't as if all of her anger would fade right away. She just gave a snort and said, "Watch what you say in the future. There won't be a second time."

General Lu slightly knitted his brows when hearing this, but his expression also quickly relaxed before he waved his hand at one of the officers with him.

The officer went over to the table and with a wave of his hand, there was a map that appeared on the table. It was clear that he pulled this map out of the Storage Ring that was on his hand.

With a gesture, General Lu led Mu Bao Bao and Lin Fan over to the table where they saw that this was a map of the surrounding area. Or more precisely, this was a map with the layout of the Gale Sect that also had a few details of the surrounding area on it.

The map showed the defenses of the Gale Sect in detail, so it could be imagined how much had been spent to get this information.

It was clear that the idea to attack the Gale Sect was not a hasty decision and had been planned for a long time if they had gathered all this information.

General Lu gave the general plan on how to attack the Gale Sect.

It was very simple, they would first assault the Gale Sect and draw out the cultivators.

The ones that would be drawn out would be the disciples and elders of the sect, but they weren't the main target. The one that they wanted to take out was the ancestor of the sect.

This ancestor was the foundation that the sect relied on and as long as they lived, it couldn't be said that the Gale Sect was destroyed. So they had to draw out the ancestors of the Gale Sect to fully destroy the Gale Sect.

But when this was brought up, Mu Bao Bao noticed a problem.

The ancestor wouldn't be weak and based on the level of cultivation that they had here, it didn't seem like anyone would be able to defeat them.

It would even be hard for them to defeat the elders that came out since as far as she knew, the Gale Sect had four Nascent Soul Realm elders.

So what would they do once these elders came out?

General Lu said, "My elites and I can deal with the Nascent Soul Realm elders. As for the ancestor, we have someone prepared to deal with him."

Mu Bao Bao couldn't help being surprised when she heard this, but then she realized that she couldn't see through General Lu's cultivation.

She had thought that he was weak because of the act that he had put on before, but now she realized that she had been rash. This was a general chosen to lead an army to attack the Gale Sect, there was no way that this person would be weak.

While she didn't know exactly what plans they had, she could at least feel assured that they would have the experts to enact this place.

However, General Lu presented a problem.

"There's a defensive array around the mountain that the Gale Sect is on. Unless we destroy this defensive array, we won't be able to assault the Gale Sect since it'll take too much time and effort to break it."

After he said this, General Lu turned to look at me, almost as if he was challenging me.

When Mu Bao Bao saw this, she couldn't help knitting her brows.

She could tell that General Lu was doing this on purpose and she was about to call him out for this, but Lin Fan quickly said, "That's not a problem, I'll take care of it."

As soon as his voice fell, there were many confused looks of disbelief that were aimed in his direction. Even Mu Bao Bao looked at him with this same look since she couldn't believe that he would actually say this.

Did he not understand what it meant to say this?

General Lu however didn't miss a beat as he said, "Oh, so the Dungeon City City Lord is saying that you have a way of taking care of this defensive array? You should know how important this mission is and if it is delayed, how much this will affect his majesty's plan. This is not a place to joke around in."

Lin Fan just calmly said with a smile, "You can give me a try and if it doesn't work, you can just use that thing you're hiding."

General Lu couldn't help revealing a trace of surprise in his eyes, but then he said, "Alright, then we'll leave it up to the Dungeon City City Lord tomorrow."

Without giving Lin Fan a chance to say anything, he called an end to the meeting and walked out with his officers.

Mu Bao Bao couldn't help looking at Lin Fan with a look of blame as she said, "Why did you say that? Do you know what you've done?"

Lin Fan just patted her on the shoulder as he said, "Don't worry, I've got this. There's a secret weapon that I've been preparing that I've been waiting to use. I never thought that I would get that chance now."

Mu Bao Bao raised an eyebrow in doubt when she heard this as she said, "Really?"

Lin Fan just said with a calm smile, "Have I ever let you down?"

Mu Bao Bao thought about it a bit before slowly shaking his head.

That was right, every time that she thought something was impossible, Lin Fan would bring out something that made it possible.

She had already lost count of how many miracles he had shown her already.

Perhaps he really would show her a miracle tomorrow.

Lin Fan was of course feeling very confident since it was true what he said.

He had been preparing something for a while now, but he never thought that this would be the place to use it.

Though since he was given this opportunity, he would use this thing that he had prepared to its fullest.
