Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow.
Just as Di Qiu had said, this Bai Chengfeng indeed had some clever tricks up his sleeve; at the very least, he wasn't so easily fooled.
Nevertheless, Xiao Chen wasn't too nervous.
"Why would I lift a hand against them when they've come to me seeking peace?"
Bai Chengfeng was clearly still suspicious, "That doesn't seem like your nature!"
"That means you don't understand me!"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly, "I have a principle!"
"What?"
Bai Chengfeng countered.
Xiao Chen said indifferently, "In war, do not slay the envoys!"
Bai Chengfeng was taken aback, but soon scoffed, "Xiao Chen! You can fool a fool with that, but I don't believe your nonsense!"
Xiao Chen, who had been called out, still didn't panic.
"Of course, there's another reason, which is that I've always liked to keep my accounts clear!"
