After Lu Yi escorted Lu Chen to the door, he watched Lu Chen's carriage depart into the distance. At that moment, Xue Linglong said beside Lu Yi, "Darling, didn't you say earlier that the North Prince is plotting to take over the entire realm? Then, for him, wouldn't it make sense to march directly south under the pretext of supporting the emperor? Why lend troops to you?"
Hearing Xue Linglong's question, Lu Yi looked at the receding carriage that Lu Chen was in and chuckled lightly, then replied, "Because he cannot be certain whether there truly is a Celestial in the Capital city."
"The North Country's weapons may indeed be formidable, but they are practically useless before a Celestial."
