"They're preparing for negotiations. I've been here for half a day already. Yahiko is confident they want peace, so he didn't bring too many strong fighters. He was also afraid of causing unnecessary misunderstandings."
A trace of mocking ridicule appeared on Shan Juhua's face. She admitted that they shared the same goal as her and had taken action toward it, but their ideals were simply too beautiful.
