The conflict that erupted between the Iron Blood Emperor's son and Xiao Ye had come to an end due to the intervention of Elder Yang, Tang Yi, Nangong Xingyu, and Prince Donghuang.
Yet, it was clear to everyone that the grudge between Xiao Ye and the Iron Blood Emperor's son had deepened due to this clash and would inevitably explode sooner or later, perhaps during this very mission.
After all, the mission was to annihilate a Sub-palace of the Ultimate Palace. No one knew what might happen on-site. If Xiao Ye were to encounter danger, it was uncertain whether the powerful individuals by his side could react in time. If the Iron Blood Emperor's son had a chance to secretly strike at Xiao Ye, with his arrogant and domineering nature, it was not impossible.
Clearly, everyone had thought of this possibility, and their gazes towards Xiao Ye were filled with either sympathy or schadenfreude.
"Xiao Ye, make sure you stay close to me during tomorrow's mission, got it?"
