Although he felt a pang of sorrow in his heart, Ren Zhong kept a calm demeanor. He merely lamented that it was a pity he hadn't been born half a million years earlier, missing the chance to charge alongside Marquis Zhenjiang on the battlefield and to witness the Marquis's prowess firsthand, which he found truly regrettable.
Marvell immediately seized the opportunity, laughing heartily as he said, "Brother Ren Zhong, there's no need to regret, as the Marquis often says, there's plenty of time in the future. Opportunities will come."
Ren Zhong replied, "That's true, I hope that day comes soon."
In reality, Marvell had already accomplished his task ahead of schedule. He hadn't expected that upon meeting, he'd probe out Ren Zhong's apparent intention to join Marquis Zhenjiang, which immediately put him in a good mood.
The two continued their casual conversation, unwittingly entering the core cabin of the long-range ship.
