The Netherworld, Chang Capital, within Zhong Shan's study.
Tian Ling'er and Nian Youyou kept comforting the still-heartbroken Xianxian!
Xianxian sobbed. The others in the study were helpless and did not dare interrupt, so they could only watch Tian Ling'er constantly coaxing her. "Good girl, Xianxian, don't cry. You'll lose your prettiness if you keep crying."
Xiao Wang, Mud Bodhisattva, Zhao Suo Xiang, and the others: "...!"
That coaxing tone did indeed leave a group of grown men speechless. Even Nian Youyou wore a strange expression, but Tian Ling'er's comfort really did have an effect.
Perhaps in Great Zheng, apart from Zhong Shan, Xianxian was closest to Tian Ling'er. After Tian Ling'er comforted her several times, Xianxian's sobbing really did diminish considerably, though she still could not stop herself from hiccupping.
"Zhong Shan, can you not hurt Grandpa?" Xianxian asked.
Nian Youyou frowned beside them. Emperor Xuan Sha's strength was astonishingly formidable. If Zhong Shan did not intend to heavily injure him, how could he fight Emperor Xuan Sha? In Nian Youyou's heart, Zhong Shan's safety came first. Whether Emperor Xuan Sha lived or died had nothing to do with her.
But seeing how heartbroken Xianxian was, Nian Youyou held her tongue.
"Don't worry. Emperor Xuan Sha has already retreated!" Shadow Body Zhong Shan shook his head from behind the desk.
"Retreated? Retreated?" Xianxian's sobbing abruptly stopped. Clearly, she had never expected this outcome.
"That's right. He left just now without fighting me!" Zhong Shan smiled.
"Ah? Then, then who made Grandpa retreat?" Xianxian asked in astonishment.
The others also looked at Zhong Shan in confusion, especially Xiao Wang and Yan Chongzhi, the top strategists. They could not understand this sudden and bizarre change.
"You did!" Zhong Shan said.
"Me?" Xianxian's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.
"That's right, you.
