"Brother Tao...! You...?"
Suddenly hearing Zhang Rongtao's response, He Guang's face was filled with disbelief.
He looked at Zhang Rongtao, his mouth slightly agape, seemingly wanting to say more, but he was again interrupted by Zhang Rongtao.
"He Guang, there's no need to say more. At this point, can't you see the situation clearly? Sometimes, a temporary retreat doesn't mean true withdrawal but is merely a strategic move."
Saying this, Zhang Rongtao nodded at Zhu Fei.
"Let's go, we'll apologize to your friend. I can also assure you that by tomorrow, I will take my people and leave Lan City. However, I want to tell you something—I, Zhang Rongtao, will remember what happened today."
With that, Zhang Rongtao didn't waste any more words. He took the still somewhat reluctant He Guang by the side and headed to where Tang Mengyun and Pan Tingting were.
Watching the backs of Zhang Rongtao and his party, Zhu Fei's eyes narrowed slightly.
