The meeting soon ended.
Albert was raring for a fight. Of course, he knew Wen Xishu had only just returned, so he could not drag him off to the Slaughter Tower right away.
"Since you're coming, Xun Hui, you and Wen Xishu should get a full day's rest. Everyone needs to be at their best."
Xun Hui nodded.
"Understood."
Albert soon left.
Xun Hui and Wen Xishu were the last to leave. Before they did, Xun Hui said:
"Climbing the Slaughter Tower rarely brings us into contact with those Constellations you mentioned, but even without knowing them, I can imagine how powerful they are."
"You could call them the 'warlords' at the very top of the Three Towers War, couldn't you?"
Wen Xishu nodded.
"You could. Their different roles have led them to form various factions with different kinds of people."
Xun Hui looked at Wen Xishu.
"Most of them are hostile toward us, and even those who aren't are only using us, just as we're using them?"
Wen Xishu nodded again. That was indeed the case.
Even with Scorpio, Wen Xishu knew she had her own agenda.
Xun Hui said:
"The old man is strong. I don't even know just how strong he is. But he might not win this time. If he dies..."
"He won't, senior." Wen Xishu interrupted Xun Hui.
"I'll regret it. If the Old Principal really dies, I'll regret it no matter what. But until I've seen that future... if you made me choose again, I'd still invite him."
Wen Xishu's gaze was clear. Faced with Xun Hui's imposing presence, he did not back down in the slightest.
Xun Hui said nothing more on the subject.
"Then get some proper rest. If we can watch this duel, we're bound to learn a great deal."
