Qi Yuan listened to Yuan Qi's impassioned speech for a while before saying, "I defend Jialan city, not because of any relation to Great Daxia.
Simply because I am the defender of Jialan city."
He didn't want to owe anybody a favor without good reason.
Hearing this, Yuan Qi was somewhat puzzled for a moment.
But he soon understood.
This defender was probably the kind of person who cared for the welfare of all people.
A man not originally from Great Daxia but unwilling to see the south fall into northern hands, travelled alone to central plains, took charge of Jialan city.
Not restricted to his own family or country, he stood for all of humanity.
This was truly a great cultivator!
Yuan Qi's respect for him deepened even more.
However, thinking of his older brother, he asked with a grave tone, "I wonder if when senior arrived at Jialan city, did he see any soldiers from Great Daxia, from the Song Battalion."
