Di Jun glanced at his second brother, his tone growing heavier as he warned:
"Tai Yi, when an honest and simple person turns ruthless, he may do something unexpected."
"Got it." Tai Yi raised an eyebrow, his expression still arrogant. "As long as Red Cloud hands over the Hongmeng Purple Qi, I'll spare his life."

Fuxi immediately rose and cupped one fist in salute. "Rest assured, Your Majesty."
Di Jun and Tai Yi exchanged a glance, their hearts connected.
