Chapter 2364

Li Ruanyu also crossed her arms over her chest.

But the two heavy, generous curves, propped up by her arms, gave a soft quiver—clearly outdoing Shangguan Ting in presence.

And far more aggressive.

"I told you, don't call me that. I'm not your sister.

"Also, I was only speaking of the general direction, not directly rescuing Captain Shen Jiyun.

"My thinking is to make rescuing Captain Shen Jiyun the main objective, but there's a prerequisite—first, we go support Commander-in-Chief Ren Yunchuan.

"His spirits are fighting the werewolves; his side has a clear advantage in attrition.

"If we go support him, that battlefield will wrap up very fast—the fight will end quickly.

"That way, with Commander-in-Chief Ren Yunchuan's spirits joining in, dealing with the aerial forces will be easy, and handling the manticores and bat-people will be no problem.

"Add in our two flying units, and rescuing Captain Shen Jiyun will be a cinch.

"Your approach works too, but the problem is there's no real advantage to it, and it won't take a short amount of time.

"Whereas my idea is to rescue both Commander-in-Chief Ren Yunchuan and Captain Shen Jiyun within the same span of time.

"Isn't that better?

"I hadn't even finished speaking, and you're already in such a rush to rebut me?

"Trying to show off in front of Zhao Chi?"

Shangguan Ting snorted.

She shot a look at Li Ruanyu's massive chest.

Then stepped back.

"So what if I want to show off in front of Zhao Chi? You jealous? I'm just a straight-shooter—I've taken a liking to Zhao Chi, and I dare say it straight out. Unlike you, dragging your feet and playing the pure maiden, dangling Zhao Chi along without letting him touch you."

Li Ruanyu was so angry she almost laughed.

Just now, when Shangguan Ting had asked about her relationship with Zhao Chi, Li Ruanyu hadn't answered her directly.

And so Shangguan Ting assumed nothing had happened between the two of them?

Zhao Chi tried to stop her.

"Um…"

But the moment he got two words out, Li Ruanyu's voice drowned his.

Of course, Li Ruanyu wasn't trying to drown out Zhao Chi's voice.

She was rebutting Shangguan Ting.

So her voice was just a little louder.

"You've taken a liking to Zhao Chi? Did you bother asking whether he'd even take a liking to you? You're the one he hates most—do you have any self-awareness at all?"

Shangguan Ting snorted: "That was before. The misunderstanding between the two of us has just been completely cleared up. You have no idea how close we just got. This is the price you pay for playing the pure maiden, the white lotus—our relationship has actually progressed faster than yours!"
