บท 235: Chapter One Hundred Eighty-Three: Compromise_2

Xu Yuan fell silent for a moment, then sighed:

"Not entirely, but it would be best if we can avoid war."

"Is it because you can't bear it?" Lou Ji asked with interest.

Xu Yuan didn't respond immediately, gently rubbing his knuckles. After a while, he shook his head:

"There's no need to talk about these things, but yes, there's also that reason....."

Upon hearing this, Lou Ji raised her hand and gently touched his head, whispering tenderly:

"Changtian really is kind-hearted."

Xu Yuan let out a snort of laughter, his eyes downcast looking at his hands, his voice emotionless:

"No, the main reason I don't want to act is that the gains would be too low. Our plan has proceeded so rapidly to a large extent because it's a case of the prepared versus the unprepared. The Myriad Manifestation Sect fighting to the death would shatter everything, and our casualties would be higher.
