Chapter 1046: Chapter 650: Unnecessary Worries_3

After saying this, she waved her hand impatiently:

"At this time, you’re still playing coy? Just spill it already."

"It’s mainly because explaining it is too complicated."

Xu Yuan muttered under his breath, then went on to sort out the relationships among the Six Saints for his close bro in front of him.

After carefully listening, Li Junwu murmured as if talking to himself:

"The Bug Saint’s clan was brought in by the sect as cannon fodder, while the two Saints from the sect and the Lord of the Ancient Abyss harbor mutual killing intent... is that what you mean?"

"Mmhmm."

Xu Yuan nodded with a smile: "The ideology of Jiatiange may be a bit pretentious, but their attitude toward alien races has always been to annihilate them completely. If they have a chance to kill the Lord of the Ancient Abyss, they’ll definitely take it."

"Where exactly is Jiatiange’s ideology pretentious?"

A slightly displeased voice suddenly sounded from behind the two of them. They turned to look and saw a figure with Tianyan’s face, Tian Ye, quietly standing behind them with arms crossed, eyes glinting with amusement.

Seeing this enchantress again after just half a day, Xu Yuan casually patted the empty spot beside him, signaling for her to sit.

Tian Ye didn’t refuse, sitting down and speaking in a calm tone:

"For this ideology, Jiatiange has sacrificed generation after generation of lives."

"I mean now, when humanity has already prospered." Xu Yuan retorted sarcastically, "Why has Jiatiange emerged again if not to vie for power and gain?"

Tian Ye tilted her head and thought for a moment before letting out a charming laugh:

"You know, you’re not wrong."

"Right?"

Xu Yuan exhaled lightly and asked in a low voice, "Why are you showing up at this moment? What are you planning to do?"

Tian Ye answered without hesitation:

"I’m here to pass on some information that I overheard while wandering around the city earlier."

Xu Yuan was taken aback: "You? Helping me?"

"How hurtful, the way you say it." Tian Ye put on a pitiful expression, then chuckled: "It’s mainly because you’ll find out this information soon enough anyway, so telling you in advance doesn’t violate my principles."

"What information?"

"Some rumors circulating in the Zhenxi Army right now."

Tian Ye rested her chin in her hand, pretending to think deeply, and spoke softly:

"Not sure where it started, but someone is saying that the Saints are actually here for you and your concubine, and that if they just hand you over, they’ll withdraw."

Xu Yuan narrowed his eyes: "Those soldiers actually believe this ’selling out for peace’ nonsense?"

"Well, who told the Prime Minister’s Mansion to have such a rotten reputation?"

"Haha."

"Your enemy’s sinister plans are truly one after another."

Tian Ye tilted her head, her delicate finger tapping against her cheek: "What are you going to do about it? If this continues, the entire Second Town will unite in rejecting you, the Third Young Master of the Prime Minister’s Mansion. After all, you’re considered an outsider."

"They won’t."

"Hmm?" Tian Ye glanced past Xu Yuan at Li Junwu on the other side.

Li Junwu didn’t look at her, only speaking softly:

"Since it’s a rumor, let’s add some spice to this rumor."

"Oh~?"

Tian Ye’s voice stretched out as she squinted at this young lady: "You mean adding yourself, the Commandery Princess, into it?"

"Yes."

"But it’s probably too late, this rumor is spreading quite fast."

"Then we must trouble you with this matter." Xu Yuan suddenly interjected, looking at Tian Ye.

"Not doing it."

Tian Ye turned her face away bluntly.

"....." Tianyan.

"....." Tian Ye.

"..."

"..."

After a moment, Tian Ye turned her head back reluctantly and said:

"Fine, fine, stop threatening to seize the body. I’ll help him just this once."

As she spoke,

Tian Ye gracefully rose to her feet, smiling charmingly:

"Brother Xu Yuan, you better thank little sister Tianyan~"

With those words, Tian Ye’s slender, delicate figure gradually faded, eventually vanishing from the secret chamber.

Watching Tian Ye leave, Li Junwu no longer seemed inclined for small talk. Standing up, she said to Xu Yuan:

"Changtian, let’s start preparing as well."

Xu Yuan smiled, nodded, and rose with her, casually picking up a bloodstained piece of inner armor nearby. He used cultivation to strip the blood stains from its surface, saying:

"You forgot your inner armor."

Li Junwu stared at the fitted armor for a moment, then suddenly smiled mischievously:

"Hmm... consider the inner armor a gift for you."

"Huh?"

"What, you don’t want this girl’s close-fitting garment?"

"Ugh...."

Xu Yuan pretended to gag.

Li Junwu rolled her eyes and said:

"Take it or leave it. The formation patterns on it aren’t enough to sustain a town’s military strength. I’ll have to get a better one from the treasury."

"..."

Xu Yuan paused mid-step, holding the inner armor.

Li Junwu took several steps before realizing he hadn’t followed. Looking back puzzled, she scolded:

"What are you standing there for?"

The air grew still, the expansive secret chamber lit only by the flicker of formation patterns.

After a few moments of silence, Xu Yuan suddenly smiled, casually storing the inner armor in the Sumeru Ring, then quickly caught up:

"Oh, nothing, just remembered something."

Li Junwu didn’t suspect anything, grumbling:

"So secretive...."

But before she could finish, she felt her wrist grabbed from behind. Her beautiful eyes widened for a moment before hearing Xu Yuan’s voice from behind her:

"You’re planning to mobilize the military formation again?"

"Huh?"

"Isn’t switching armor because you’re preparing for a larger military formation?" Xu Yuan’s hand tightened slightly around her wrist.

Li Junwu furrowed her brows, giving him a sidelong glance filled with amusement and mock reproach:

"You called me not very bright earlier, but shouldn’t our play-acting be convincing?"

"This girl treasures her life just as much as you do. I’ve only spent a few years in this Zhenxi Prefecture as a child; I’m not about to die for it. If the situation becomes untenable, you’ll just take me with you and we’ll run."

As she spoke,

Li Junwu’s gaze remained calm. She raised her free hand and lightly tapped his chest with a fist, lowering her voice:

"You worry too much, Changtian."
