"Like Miss Shangguan's Wind-Singing Blade?"

"Authority is a form of power, and it does not necessarily manifest itself in the form of weapons."

Yu Lan seemed to be deep in thought, but judging from Su Cheng's tone, he didn't seem to want to explain further.

Otherwise, there would obviously be a more accessible way to explain the current situation.

Yu Lan nodded with a smile: "Okay, I will keep my husband's words in mind."

"Don't worry, she won't hurt you on purpose."

"Why?"

"Because you are mine."

Yu Lan grinned mischievously, pouting with an arrogant look: "Who said I'm your person? How come I didn't know that?"

"Now you know."

The two had been chatting for a short while when they heard footsteps coming from outside the tent.

Su Cheng sat up with a smile, just as he heard Dongfang Jue softly call from outside the tent:

"Sect Leader Su, the fish has taken the bait."

"They're here."

As the two had anticipated, Luo An dispatched one of his generals with two hundred light cavalry to scout out of the city.

They were now surrounded by Dongfang Jue's troops. While an attack on the city might be troublesome, a force of only two hundred men was truly outmatched by Dongfang Jue's massive army...

Su Cheng, accompanied by Dongfang Jue, hurriedly flew away on his sword and arrived shortly afterward.

Looking down from their vantage point at the tightly surrounded army, the dense torches illuminated the valley, allowing them to clearly see the divided and encircled rebel forces.

Dongfang Jue grabbed his spear and leaped into the crowd, slamming it heavily into the center of the army formation.

"No need for introductions, right? Let the brothers get some rest, okay?"

With a flick of his spear, he blocked the group of generals behind him; otherwise, his gaze alone would have been enough to tear the people in front of him to shreds.

To put it bluntly, they all knew each other well, and the look of disappointment in their eyes was tinged with incomprehension, which Su Cheng could understand.

It is very difficult for people to truly empathize; their way of understanding the world and their upbringing both have an impact on them.

Dongfang Jue went to make a final attempt to persuade Su Cheng to surrender, while Su Cheng simply watched from afar.
