Jiang Yao: "It's a deal?"
Jing Yuan: "A man's word cannot be taken back!"
Jiang Yao smiled. Who knew Jing Yuan was such a nice guy?
Jing Yuan smiled too. Earning a favor this easily was an absolute bargain!
Fu Xuan gave Jing Yuan a puzzled look.
Has the general been turned into an idiot too?
Or is his mara about to flare up?
If Jiang Yao wants support, he can just have someone come over.
Yet he needs your permission, General.
Haven't you wondered why?
It had to be said that Fu Xuan was reliable.
She simply hadn't considered that Jiang Yao's Entwined Fate could alleviate mara.
That had gone straight to Jing Yuan's head.
But Jing Yuan had already agreed.
She couldn't very well back out on his behalf.
Still, the necessary reminders couldn't be skipped.
"Ahem."
Fu Xuan cleared her throat and asked, "Jiang Yao, is this help you're asking for legitimate? What I mean is, will you need the Luofu's assistance?"
Jiang Yao thought it over. Jing Yuan might have assumed he was merely calling someone over so they could intercept Himeko's flames.
So a reminder was definitely in order.
I do need Himeko's help.
But it's only a tiny favor. She doesn't even need to be here~
Surely you'll all agree, right?
Jiang Yao: "Actually, now that you mention it, I really do need the general's help."
Jing Yuan: "The Astral Express is an honored guest of our Luofu. Whatever you need, just ask."
Something was wrong. One hundred percent wrong... Hearing Jing Yuan agree so readily to almost anything Jiang Yao requested, Fu Xuan began to catch on.
Jing Yuan wouldn't act without reason.
So, had he already discovered what was special about Jiang Yao?
Damn it.
Is this the general's perceptiveness at work?
