"...Your singing sounds awful. Seriously."
"No way! Hey, honey, is my singing really that bad?" Zhang Xiu pointed at himself with his right index finger and looked down at Yaoshi.
"Mm... you can hardly carry a tune. Don't let it bother you too much, dear." Yaoshi blinked.
Yes, Zhang Xiu had sung that song himself. After all, once the mood struck, it was hard not to get a little carried away.
"The Vidyadhara sealed the Ambrosial Arbor with the sacred land of their ancestral home. The Xianzhou Luofu truly owes them a great debt." Jing Yuan seemed lost in recollection, but he knew exactly what needed to be done now:
"Lady Fu." He turned to Fu Xuan. "Remain here and lead the Cloud Knights in guarding this place, lest something else arise."
At that, Fu Xuan's eyes widened, and she involuntarily stepped forward. "Jing Yuan... General, are you going to face Phantylia alone?"
The general renowned for his strategies shook his head. "I wouldn't exactly call it going alone. I have friends accompanying me."
"Exactly. Rather than worrying about Jing Yuan, you should worry about whether there's any milk tea left today."
"Ha, young Zhang Xiu, you certainly are confident. But our opponent is one of the Lord Ravagers. We must not let our guard down."
"Ah, you don't get it~ Phantylia never had the slightest chance of winning from the start."
With that, Zhang Xiu looked at Yaoshi. They exchanged nods before he turned to Li Ge and Chen Chang'an.
"You two, though, should stay here with Fu Xuan."
The two exchanged glances. Both understood Zhang Xiu's intentions, but they had no reason to refuse.
Worry that Zhang Xiu and the others would suffer a regrettable defeat without them there? What a joke. Yaoshi was going with them.
No
