After the task assignment was completed, Zhu Ke looked around at Xiao Mu and Wang Yuan, saying solemnly, "Guarding the Eastern Desolation is a heavy responsibility, and I hope that when the time is critical, we can support each other."
Wang Yuan snorted, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Mu, "I have no problem, but I wonder if this newcomer can hold the fort."
Xiao Mu felt displeased and retorted casually, "If Grand Elder Wang has no problem, I certainly have none."
"Haha, quite the bold words, let's hope you truly have no problem when the time comes."
Wang Yuan's smile became stiff.
"Likewise." Xiao Mu replied bluntly.
"Alright, you two." Zhu Ke hastily mediated to prevent a real conflict, "Disputes are one thing, I hope both of you will consider the bigger picture and not stand idly by if either of you is in trouble. After all, the three of us are united; if any of us encounters an accident, the others can't hold the Eastern Desolation."
