"Have you calmed down now?" Liu Bei asked.
"I'm curious what you were thinking just now," Chen Xi sighed. The things he himself still hadn't seen clearly, Liu Bei had somehow seen through.
"Simple. Compared with my own judgment, I trust yours more. You've explained to me in detail how to take the Central Plains while preserving the Vital Energy of the realm and not crippling its talented men of ambition, and I don't believe your judgment is wrong," Liu Bei turned, stopped, and looked at Chen Xi as he spoke.
"You also explained in detail what the Emperor's Position means to me. In truth, it doesn't mean much. What matters more is the promise I made to you back then. A bit earlier or a bit later—does that really matter?" Liu Bei said, looking at Chen Xi.
