The last time... is it?
Thinking of Li Junwu's trembling shoulders as she left, Xu Yuan lifted his gaze to the heavens above and let out a soft sigh.
She must feel awful right now...
Just like that joke from Xu Yuan's previous life:
If you don't try hard, you'll never truly understand what a failure you are.
He had decided to take action, yet he found himself far from being as omnipotent as he'd imagined.
Believing he could play the role of savior, to rescue a crumbling empire, only to have reality slap him across the face before he even began.
Dreams crushed, paired with the brutal realization that a friend—whom he once thought inferior in every way—had cast him far behind without him noticing...
"With the way she behaves, how could she possibly hold up Zhenxi Prefecture."
The sudden rasping voice interrupted Xu Yuan's thoughts.
Turning around, he found the speaker was the old man in charge of the heavy armor units.
