Xiaoman dismissed it with a casual raise of her brow and a charming smile, "I don't think so. Our Emperor is the War God. When it comes to warfare, Qi Jun falls far behind. The earlier moves were merely probing Qi Army's strengths and weaknesses. Next, we'll..."
Her straightforward demeanor carried conviction, but as she noticed Daman's probing gaze, realization struck her. She quickly fell silent, awkwardly adding:
"I'm just speaking nonsense."
Daman studied Xiaoman's flustered eyes and gave a slight nod.
"What you said isn't completely wrong..."
After a brief pause, she lowered her voice and asked, "Xiaoman, do you know something?"
Xiaoman flinched slightly and shook her head, "I don't know anything, truly."
Seeing Daman's doubt, she bit her lip and emphasized forcefully, "I really don't know anything. I'm just a maidservant attending to the Lady. How could I possibly know the Emperor's strategies for warfare?"
