Qin Yi was quite speechless; this woman really spoke without any courtesy.
He wanted to say it didn't matter, but unfortunately, he was never a generous person.
"General Cheng, I don't understand. You support the Second Prince, and I also support the Second Prince. Shouldn't this be a good thing for you?" Qin Yi asked.
Cheng Fei pondered for a mont and sneered, "Wrong, it's a good thing for you because you've latched onto a powerful ally. It's a good thing for the Second Prince because with your help he'll be even stronger. Of course, who you support is none of my business, so it doesn't matter to .
To be honest, even if you kill the Three Kings of the Tianyue Empire, I still look down on you."
Qin Yi: "..."
"May I ask why?"
Cheng Fei sneered, "Young Master Qin, although I am a woman, I've spent my life in the military. I despise those who betray others the most. On the battlefield, a single traitor can change the course of war and cause thousands of deaths.
So in my heart, a person who betrays is more despicable than a lecher or a vile person. Forgive my bluntness, but I'm speaking honestly. Whether you like to hear it or not is none of my business."
Qin Yi's mouth twitched, this woman really had a strong personality.
Cheng Fei stood up and said, "Young Master Qin, I must go train the troops, I won't entertain you further. Finish this cup of tea and then be on your way."
Qin Yi smiled wryly, this woman truly didn't hide her dislike for him at all.
"Hiss!"
Cheng Fei, who had already reached the door, turned back instinctively upon hearing the sound, her expression changed abruptly; Qin Yi had torn open her secret letter to the Second Prince.
Qin Yi took out the letter and began reading it.
"Qin Yi, you're bold enough to privately open correspondence between and the Second Prince." Cheng Fei shouted angrily, her voice full of ire.
Qin Yi glanced at the letter content and casually said, "It's just a secret letter, what's the big deal? It's not like it's a love letter between you two."
"Impudent!" Cheng Fei's face sank, she suddenly extended her hand and shouted loudly, "Bring my weapon."
Soon, the golden spear was brought to Cheng Fei's hand.
"Bang!"
The golden spear hit the ground, instantly shattering the bluestone slab.
"Qin Yi, you opened the letter between and the Second Prince. Even if I kill you now, the Second Prince wouldn't say much, would he?"
Qin Yi ignored Cheng Fei, looking down at the letter in his hand, his expression turned peculiar. Because, the letter only had four short words: Refuse to comply.
Cheng Fei had clearly seen the forged letter from Qin Yi, which asked these generals to rebel in the na of the Second Prince. However, what Qin Yi didn't expect was Cheng Fei's simple reply of refusal.
"Whizz!"
Seeing Qin Yi ignore her completely, Cheng Fei was furious, thinking him mad. The bluestone at her feet exploded, she and the spear rged, rushing towards Qin Yi like lightning, directly aiming at his throat.
Just as the chilling tip of the spear was about to pierce Qin Yi's throat, he lazily extended two fingers, directly pinching the spear tip.
"Clang!"
The spear stabbed between Qin Yi's fingers, yet it felt like it had struck steel, producing a crisp tallic sound.
Cheng Fei's expression changed slightly, she frantically started moving energy through the golden spear, causing it to erupt with brilliant golden light. She groaned, fixing her gaze seriously.
Because no matter how much she drove the golden spear, she couldn't break through Qin Yi's two fingers.
Qin Yi, right hand pinching the spear tip, raised the letter with his left hand and asked Cheng Fei with a smile, "Is this your reply to Yun Baixuan?"
Saying that, Qin Yi suddenly released the golden spear, simultaneously tapping on it with two fingers.
"Clang!"
The clear tallic sound rang, and Cheng Fei's face changed drastically; she clearly felt an overwhelming force spreading through the golden spear to her body.
"Clomp clomp…!"
Cheng Fei was forced to take several steps back, the bluestone paving cracked underfoot over ten pieces, the golden spear vibrating intensely in her hand, causing paralysis in her half-body, her arms trembling, the tiger's mouth hot and almost splitting.
Cheng Fei's eyes were full of shock, and in the next mont, her aura surged.
Qin Yi said indifferently, "You're no match for , don't court disaster."
Qin Yi's words made Cheng Fei deflate instantly. However, neither did her face show fear, but it was filled with fighting spirit.
Qin Yi raised the letter again and asked, "Is this your reply to the Second Prince?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Qin Yi frowned and said, "Do you know, being soone of the Second Prince, by replying to your master like this, aren't you afraid of his wrath?"
Cheng Fei sneered, "At best, we have a cooperative relationship. It's too ambitious to think of being my master."
"You as a general of the Yunyue Empire should be loyal to the Royal Family. The Second Prince is an offspring of the Royal Family, isn't he your master?"
Cheng Fei proudly said, "My role as General Cheng Fei was earned through battle accomplishnts, not given by anyone. I am indeed loyal to the Royal Family, but I am loyal to the Emperor, not a Prince. If the Second Prince wants to command , he'd better beco Emperor first.
However, what he wants to do this ti shows his simplicity, he can't achieve great things. Go back and tell him, my agreent to support him doesn't an I'm willing to accompany him in a fruitless endeavor. What he wants to do has almost zero chance of success."
Qin Yi's eyes narrowed slightly, it seems these generals are no fools. They are loyal to the Royal Family, but not to one individual.
"General Cheng, do you realize what will happen if your words are heard by the Second Prince?"
Cheng Fei said disdainfully, "Am I usually scared? When I road the battlefield, you weren't born yet. Don't try scaring ; I'm only responsible to the Tianyue Empire and its citizens. If anyone wants to fra with unfounded charges, ask if my spear agrees first."
"Beautiful! Indeed a heroine who doesn't let n overshadow her." Qin Yi couldn't help but praise; a woman traversing the battlefield, leveraging her battle achievents to get to her current position as the mainstay of the Yunyue Empire, her courage and wisdom are comndable.
Cheng Fei coldly said, "You may leave now."
Qin Yi chuckled, rubbed his hands together, turning the secret letter to powder.
Cheng Fei was stunned for a mont and coldly said, "What do you an by this?"
Qin Yi stood up, looked at her seriously, and said, "General Cheng, I admire your character. Since you don't want to follow Yun Baixuan's ss, would you please refrain from supporting anyone and remain neutral?"
Cheng Fei's gaze flickered slightly, staring at Qin Yi, "I see, you're not actually with the Second Prince. You're supporting the Third Princess, aren't you?"
"If I say yes, would you agree to help the Third Princess?"
"Yes." Cheng Fei replied.
Qin Yi looked surprised.
Cheng Fei laid her spear horizontally and said crisply, "If you're supporting the Third Princess, then you are not soone who betrays, I respect your character. I can agree to help the Third Princess, but you must first win against my spear."
