Chapter 138: Elder Xieling Guidiance.

With a respectful bow, Duan Yun greeted the armored figure. "Commander Teng," he acknowledged, his voice echoing in the tense silence that had fallen over the area.

Commander Teng, the figure in the white armor, responded with a voice that was as cold as the winter wind. It resonated with a metallic timbre, reminiscent of a robotic utterance. "Duan Yun, I trust you have a valid explanation for disrupting the peace of this city?" His words hung heavily in the air, a silent demand for an answer to the chaos that had unfolded.

"Commander Teng, I apologize for the disturbance," Duan Yun began, his voice choked with emotion. He remained in his bowing position, his body was rigid with grief. "I was mourning the loss of my brother, who was slain by an enemy outside the city." His words were heavy with sorrow, each syllable echoing the depth of his loss. "I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me," he implored, his voice barely above a whisper.
