Seeing Yi Feng question him, Long Tian felt the pressure in his heart surge, yet he still managed to keep his composure and delivered the speech he had prepared long ago.
"Sir."
"As for Yuan Star, that is an internal matter of our star system. Naturally, this seat has the final say. I thank you for the kindness of bringing us this news, but I have yet to recover to my peak condition. At present, Yun Star's great undertaking must take priority. There is no need to discuss this matter further."
His words were watertight.
Not only had he invoked his own authority and responsibilities, hinting that others had no right to interfere, he had also emphasized the current priority once more. By sentiment and by reason alike, he had provided ample justification for refusing to rescue Yun Star.
At first listen, it truly seemed rather reasonable.
Wei Donghai's cultivation was shallow and his status low; he no longer had the courage to speak.
Yi Feng, too, revealed a troubled expression.
Looking at the Star Lord's somewhat weary appearance and pondering the deeper meaning behind his words for a few breaths, Yi Feng also found the matter somewhat thorny. He could only change his approach and try persuading him again.
"Star Lord."
"I understand your difficulties as well. But Yuan Star truly is in some danger. If it is inconvenient for you, I can accompany you there to provide aid. Many hands make light work; we should be able to save the living beings of Yuan Star."
At those words, Wei Donghai nodded slightly as well.
He had watched from the sidelines for quite some time. Although he did not understand what realm the two men had reached, he could tell that Yi Feng was the stronger of the two.
