You really can't speak carelessly, because you never know if it will come true. She really just said it casually to spite Yuan Shao, who knew that the next second someone would fall from the sky? Fortunately, the outcome was good...

—Cao Residence—

"Miss Sun, are you having trouble sleeping too?" Xiu stopped playing the piano and looked at Sun Shangxiang sitting next to her.

"Nobody should be able to sleep right now," Sun Shangxiang said with a worried expression. "Can you tell me how to get to the Iron Dimension?"

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you." Xiu avoided her gaze and refused, randomly strumming the strings.

“I want to stop my dad,” Sun Shangxiang said seriously. “Besides, I can’t contact my older brother and second brother anymore.”

“Miss Sun, I don’t believe you can stop someone who has become a demon,” Xiu said, frowning. “Besides, the commander ordered me to stay in the Silver Dimension to protect you until I recover.”

"If war can be avoided, why won't you let me go?" Sun Shangxiang said, her voice tinged with emotion.

"I think everyone needs to be more rational," Xiu said, frowning.

Sun Jian, or rather Ye Siyi, has already fallen into demonic possession, so the chances of her stopping the war are slim. Moreover, since Xia Xiang asked him to protect her, it means she doesn't want her to be in any danger.

Sun Shangxiang instantly slumped down, looking extremely dejected.

"Yes, I'm sorry." Xiu raised his hand and patted Sun Shangxiang's shoulder.

His words were a bit harsh. After all, she was just a young girl, a pampered young lady, and she would be extremely anxious in such a situation.

"No need, I was just too anxious." Sun Shangxiang sniffed, her eyes red as she looked at Xiu.

Xiu felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze, so he gently plucked the strings, and a soothing melody flowed from his fingertips...

“I’ll contact Zhou Yu again and then return to Jiangdong to stabilize the situation,” Sun Shangxiang said, calming herself down. “If the Iron Dimension falls, the Silver Dimension will be in danger. I can’t let my father do such a thing.”

"You can't leave me," Xiu suddenly said.

Sun Shangxiang: ...

“A general in the field may not be bound by orders, and you don’t need to protect me every step of the way.” Sun Shangxiang’s ears burned slightly. “Besides, I don’t need anyone’s protection. I’m very strong, okay?”

“I believe Miss Sun,” Xiu said earnestly. “The commander only said that I was recuperating in the Silver Dimension, and he did not forbid me from returning to the Iron Dimension. I will set off for Tiandang Mountain tomorrow, and I will return to the Iron Dimension as soon as I have recovered my strength.”

“Miss Sun, if you want to know the truth and stop this war, it will be faster to come to my side.” Xiu’s expression remained unchanged.

"That's not what you said just now!" Sun Shangxiang approached, pouting unhappily.

"Miss Sun, I said you couldn't go, not that I couldn't take you," Xiu said.

"Just call me Ah Xiang, calling me Miss Sun sounds rather strange." Sun Shangxiang didn't intend to continue the conversation with him.

"Ah Xiang," Xiu called out, a slight smile playing on his lips where she couldn't see him.

"Of course you can call me Xiao Guai, but only in private." Seeing his serious expression, Sun Shangxiang couldn't help but tease him.

The next day, Xiu and Sun Shangxiang went to Tiandang Mountain for medical treatment under the escort of Cao Cao's army, and Sun Shangxiang also contacted Zhou Yu.

"Young Miss, where are you?" Zhou Yu asked, his voice slightly weary.

"I'm in the Eastern Han Dynasty now," Sun Shangxiang said, finding it difficult to explain the situation in just a few words. She could only change the subject and ask, "Where are my eldest and second brothers? Why can't I contact them?"

"The Grand Principal's departure was sudden. The eldest young master has already gone to see the Grand Principal, while the second young master is stabilizing the situation in Jiangdong." Zhou Yu's tone carried a hint of worry. "The situation in Jiangdong is not optimistic at the moment. I suggest that the eldest young lady stay in Donghan and find a safe place."

He would first send the Jinxiang Gang to protect people, especially Sun Shangxiang.
