Chapter 55

Lure

Yoshika’s ‘unit’ such as it was, maintained a very light camp, since they were a small and mobile team. They’d been acting as a rapid response team, rushing to and fro in order to reinforce whichever front needed them most. When they weren’t running around, they usually waited on standby in whichever allied camp was nearest.

As such, their own camp was just a small branch off of the main support wing, well away from the front lines, and was usually abandoned aside from a small contingent of guards, Yoshika’s family, and occasionally Yoshika herself.

One other resident of the camp, however, refused to let herself be forgotten.

“I don’t like this. Why do they need you to go with them?”

Li Meili sighed. Jiaying had not taken the news of Kaede’s plan well.

“They want everybody with serious fighting experience against intelligent xiantian opponents. Rika, Eunae, and I have done it twice, and the second time we won.”

“That wasn’t you, Meili!”

Yoshika furrowed her brows, but Pan Jiaying was quick to correct herself, shaking her head and waving her hands to fend off a retort.

“Sorry! I didn’t mean it that way—I know it was you, and that you’re Yoshika just like the others. But that doesn’t change the fact that there are real, material differences between you and the other two. You have the experience, but you don’t have the strength.”

Meili relaxed and shook her head.

“That’s true, but it’s not like I’m going to be fighting by myself, and while I may not have all of my strength, I’m not weak, either. I’ve got my own domain, and even when I didn’t have that, I still thrashed Luo Mingyu.”

Jiaying leveled a flat look at her.

“You can’t impress me with that anymore—not with all the training we’ve done together. Senior Luo was only a second-stage, single-discipline cultivator—and a non-combatant to boot! Even I could take him on at this point.”

Meili chuckled wryly and scratched her cheek. Jiaying had been advancing in her training pretty quickly. She’d developed a begrudging rivalry with her fellow student Narae, and the two of them were rapidly advancing as they competed against each other.

Jiaying almost wasn’t even embarrassed to call an eight-year-old her rival.

“If the plan has any chance at working, we need all of our best assets. Xin Wei, Guan Yi, Hayakawa Kaede, and Hyeong Daesung are all going too.”

“And that’s the other thing! What kind of crazy plan is this?! I’m not a military expert, but even I can tell you that putting all of our key commanders into combat against an enemy elder is insane. What happens if you lose?!”

“We’ve made arrangements to have you and the other civilians evacuated under the command of the Silver Orchard.”

Pan Jiaying went pale.

“By the emperor—you actually think you might not survive. You’re telling me you actually planned for all of you to die?”

Meili huffed.

“No, we prepared for it, Jiaying—there’s a difference! It would be irresponsible to assume victory before we claimed it. We know what the worst case is, and we prepared accordingly.
