All emotion froze on Ugle's face. After a long, suffocating silence, every trace of feeling was suddenly swept away, leaving only grim resolve in his eyes.
Seeing the look in his eyes, everyone understood that he had made up his mind.
"Thank you for the reminder, Princely Heir. We will rest tonight and leave the city first thing tomorrow morning to return to Wazhen."
Many sighed inwardly.
'He actually dares to go back!'
In reality, Ugle had his reasons for daring to do so: he didn't believe Zhuola could have eliminated all of his supporters in such a short amount of time.
So, even if there was only a slim chance of survival, he had to try!
Shen Yanchuan was not surprised by his choice. He gave a slight nod and said:
"The Fourth Prince—oh, no, I should say the new Khan—must have misunderstood the Crown Prince to have sent this Jin Xin. Once the Crown Prince returns with the Peace Negotiation Book, I imagine all these problems will be resolved smoothly."
