"Then why," Xiao Yue struggled to keep her voice calm, "Why must the West-Side Commandant take a side? How is He Li Wei better compared to Long Zhao Feng?"
Again, the West-Side Commandant shook his head.
"Miss Song, all I wanted to know from Feng'er was what really happened to General Long Zhao Xue. I served General Long Zhao Xue for a few years already. We went from war to war and nearly lost our lives on many occasions. Naturally if he's truly gone, all I want is to be able to mourn for him properly. This cannot be done if his death is not publicized. It does not befit a war hero like him to be treated this way!"
Xiao Yue sighed.
"I am not siding with anyone, Miss Song. If the King had agreed to have Feng'er participate in this competition to earn the general title, by all means I will be cheering for them both from the side equally."
The West-Side Commandant's eyes were misty from his emotional speech.
