As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall was plunged into silence.
Many people’s eyes gradually widened, staring at Xue An with astonishment.
Even Xia Zheng and the various elders of the Xia Family were no exception; all were shocked by Xue An’s words.
Xia Yi was also taken aback because he had not expected Xue An to agree so readily, rendering all his prepared rhetoric useless.
But soon, a smug, cold smile appeared on Xia Yi’s lips.
"Good! How straightforward! Regardless of your strength, at least your courage is admirable!"
Although his words were polite, the pride and taunt in his tone were so intense they were nearly overflowing.
Compared to Xia Yi’s smugness, Xia Qi’s expression looked extremely grim.
She hadn’t expected that the seemingly gentle and refined young man in white would act so decisively.
He agreed without even consulting her.
This was clearly a case of falling for Xia Yi’s provocation!
Silently cursing in her heart, Xia Qi opened her mouth to say something but ultimately could only close it helplessly.
Because now it’s too late to say anything.
In response to all this, Xue An merely smiled slightly, his eyes glimmering, without saying a word.
Then Xia Yi stood up, bowing to Xia Zheng and the others, "Uncle, esteemed elders, as everyone just heard this friend’s words, I don’t need to say much more. I’ll retreat first, and we’ll see the outcome in a few days!"
Having said that, he turned to leave.
But just then, Xue An suddenly said casually, "No need to rush off just yet!"
Hmm?
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing these words.
What’s going on?
What’s he planning to do?
Xia Yi’s expression stiffened, but he quickly sneered, "What? Having second thoughts? Too bad, it’s already too late!"
"Second thoughts?" Xue An chuckled and shook his head, "No, you’re mistaken. I just think time is precious, so there’s no need to wait a few days for the outcome!"
Xia Yi’s face turned cold, "What do you mean by that?"
Xue An ignored him, instead turning his gaze towards Xia Zheng, "Family Head Xia, I want to ask, how far is it from here to the front line where you border the Zhang Family?"
Although he didn’t know why Xue An asked this, Xia Zheng instinctively replied, "About two thousand miles!"
"I see," Xue An nodded, "Then it shouldn’t be wrong!"
Xia Yi could hardly contain himself and shouted coldly, "What on earth are you plotting? Why suddenly ask how far it is to the front line?"
Xue An smiled faintly, "Do you want to know?"
Xia Yi’s face was like water, letting out a cold snort.
"Don’t worry, it should be arriving any moment!" With that, Xue An turned to look out the window.
The hall fell silent once more, and everyone’s eyes followed Xue An’s gaze to the window.
But outside, the night sky was filled with stars, nothing unusual.
Xia Yi, with patience dwindling, waited for a while and, seeing that everything remained unchanged, couldn’t help but reveal a grim smile.
"Such theatrics, much ado about nothing!"
Though young, his strength allowed him to guard the frontier.
