The conversation between this odd pair reached the ears of the soldiers guarding the wall with perfect clarity. Before, when they heard Lan Deyong tell them to keep their spirits up, they hadn't felt much. But hearing Muyue mention castration, they instantly realized where this simple-minded woman intended to strike. A chill ran down their spines, and they jolted upright from the ground.
Exhausted as they were, they knew this was the moment to protect their most precious assets; there was absolutely no room for error. Seeing Lan Deyong and Muyue approaching from a distance, they forced themselves to perk up, widening their eyes to gaze ahead. Even though their eyes were sore and gritty, they took the initiative to greet Lan Deyong as he and Muyue drew near, hoping to prevent Muyue from misinterpreting their state and swinging her blade recklessly.
