"Just this?" Ji Jie sneered. The excuse was simply laughable.
"Just this," Ji Gui replied, perfectly calm. "Besides, I had already applied to Mother, and she gave her approval."
No wonder. The doubts in Ji Jie's heart vanished. So it was Mother who had given the order. Otherwise, her Sound Transmission Jade Slip would have been able to contact the various Moon Clans and the Royal City.
"But you, Sister, why didn't you stop Xu Lai?" Ji Gui demanded, his voice slightly strained. "If it weren't for him, I would have already conquered Chang'an City!"
If he had taken Chang'an City, Earth would have been defenseless, completely in the palm of his hand. His prestige would have surely surpassed that of their father, the King. He would have become the strongest warrior of the Moon Clan, a peerless figure unmatched in history! But all of that... was lost because of Ji Jie's failure.
