On the city walls of Qiujing City, the people who had guarded their companions for over a month abandoned them for the very first time. This was not because they were washing their hands of Qiushu; on the contrary, it was for her own good.
Di Zhongan had proposed a game—a game that would decide Qiushu's life and death. At the start, the only players in this game were Qiushu and Di Zhongan. However, for every person who joined Qiushu's side, a corresponding person would join Di Zhongan's side.
That was the most basic rule of the game. Of course, there were a few other crucial points: neither side was allowed to use treasures from the Saint Realm, excluding weapons, and no outside assistance could be invoked. But the most critical rule of all was this: Liang Yu was strictly forbidden from taking part.
