Upon hearing this, Cai Wei's heart tightened abruptly, unable to help clenching her fists.
With the battle imminent, and without absolute assurance of success, it would be a lie to say there was no tension.
The expression on Nangong Yi's face froze for a moment, only to then sport a nonchalant smile. He said, "I see. You may leave."
Luo Xue knelt there, motionless.
"Is there anything else?"
Seeing her not moving, Nangong Yi's tone took on a cool edge.
Hesitant for a moment, Luo Xue then said, "Master, another letter has arrived from the palace."
"How dare you! Leave!"
The man's deep voice abruptly turned cold, the temperature in the room dropped considerably.
But Luo Xue did not leave, she gritted her teeth, mustered up the courage to look up and said, "I know that you've ordered not to bring up news from the palace, but this is a bloody letter from the Empress Dowager to you, Master, you cannot ignore this!"
