Hearing Gong Quan lower his head, Zhu Xiao's face lit up with a smile. He was about to say something smug, but a wave of dizziness from losing a large amount of essence blood made him sway in mid-air.
If not for Zhu Chen and Zhu Xuan reacting quickly to his instability, Zhu Xiao might have stumbled and fallen to the ground.
Close to the end of his life and having spent a lot of his essence blood, Zhu Xiao's body could no longer handle the incredibly pure Fire Spirit Energy within him. The bells tolling his death rang, his mood for smugness naturally vanished.
Under the help of the two, he regained his balance. Zhu Xiao coughed up a mouthful of warm, bloody sputum and weakly said, "Cough... Zhu Chen, quickly catch up to Zhu Liu and tell him there's no need to mobilize the troops."
"And what about you?"
"Not to worry, although Gong Quan's abilities are mediocre, his character is trustful. Since we have come to an agreement, he won't back out."
