PS: This chapter is an additional update as a reward for the Alliance Leader YellowTail.
Tie Ao ultimately didn't give Su Xin a response before he directly left, and in reality, Tie Ao couldn't give Su Xin that answer either.
Now Su Xin's power had solidified, and judging by his current demeanor, it was simply impossible for him to surrender without a fight. Thus, Tie Ao could only do as Su Xin had mentioned, stand on Great Zhou's side, yet maintain neutrality.
In fact, the military also harbored this sentiment after all. Since the military powerhouse Xue Zhenyue refused to engage in this matter, why should other strong figures in the military exhaust themselves against Su Xin?
