"Will Sir Tao really be alright?"
A few kilometers away, Jehanne muttered with worry.
Despite the distance, the giant centipede boss monster could still be seen clearly. Xu Tao's figure, however, was hidden beneath the carpet of red flames covering the creature. They couldn't tell if he was safe or not just by looking.
"As expected, I should go and help—!" she muttered, turning around, about to rush back.
"Believe in my Emperor," Zetian's calm voice stopped her in her tracks. "Do you not believe in the strength of the one you adore? Little girl, you lack faith."
"Faith? That's the one thing I won't lose to anyone!" Jehanne growled back, irritated.
Zetian, seeing her flare up like a provoked puppy, couldn't help but chuckle. "Then why do you need to rush to his aid if you truly have faith in him?"
"..."
Jehanne was shut down completely. Zetian's logic was too sharp to dismiss as nonsense. If she insisted on helping Xu Tao, wouldn't that mean she lacked faith in his strength?
