Chapter 689: An Accident (5)

"Eldest Princess, is it really a good idea to team up with someone like that?" This was the first time Zhan Fei felt a sliver of doubt.

"Lord Zhan is too polite. You and I are cooperating just for this one victory. After we recapture control of the Plain of Corpses, both of us would become great benefactors in the eyes of His Majesty." Situ Ba lifted his chin.

Zhan Fei's back was already drenched in cold sweat.

He had felt nothing particularly wrong with Situ Ba while they were still in camp. But after arriving at the battlefield, Zhan Fei finally realized that Situ Ba's ruthlessness knew no bounds.

"You are too kind. It is all because of General Situ that we achieved today's victory. I will definitely report this to His Majesty." Zhan Fei had lost all desire to take any credit. He feared being assassinated by Situ Ba should he offend him.

Situ Ba appeared to have detected Zhan Fei's anxiousness. He chuckled and patted Zhan Fei on the shoulder.
