Princess Xi noticed everyone at the scene quieting down to listen to her speak, and her expression slightly relaxed.
But thinking about what she was about to say next, her expression grew solemn again.
She slowly began to speak, "In the past few days, I have seen the criticism from other Sanctuaries."
"To be honest, I am very disappointed."
"I never expected to be so misunderstood."
"The reason I brought troops back to the Seventh Sanctuary was to improve it and not for revenge."
Upon hearing this, the elders exchanged glances with one another.
Obviously, Princess Xi's ambiguous statements led many elders to think she intended to rebel against Qiu Tu....
But just as the undercurrents were surging, Princess Xi shifted her tone and said, "However... after talking with Elder Qiu, I suddenly came to an understanding."
At this point, Princess Xi glanced at Qiu Tu and said, "Elder Qiu told me that as the top leader of a Sanctuary, the greatest fear is to act willfully."
