After he finished speaking, Song Chi turned to Lu Yuan, who was off to the side, and offered a slight bow.
"Brother Lu Yuan, regarding my sister… I really can't thank you enough.
What I said earlier wasn't directed at you. It's just that leading troops into battle is no child's play. You can't be reckless.
This mission to exterminate the bandits is incredibly important to both me and my sister. If we fail, things will go badly for both of us.
I must be going. Once this is all over, I'll find you, and we'll have a proper drink!"
With that, Song Chi walked right out of the tent.
This made Song Meiqin frown in annoyance.
Lu Yuan, however, simply stood by, his expression calm.
Lu Yuan understood.
'What's this like? It's like being a high school senior at the top of their game.'
'You've done ten thousand practice exams, but then some middle schooler comes along and tells you, "You don't have what it takes. I could get into Harvard with my eyes closed."'
