Since He Yi had made her intentions abundantly clear, I tossed the Crystal Shield into my bag.

In Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls, the three strongest riders we had outside of He Yi and Gui Guzi were Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun, Heaven’s Rain, and Diamond Dust. Eighteen Steeds of You and Yun had been the core wanderer in our guild since the start, so he was obviously loyal to us.

However, because everyone knew how important the Knight General skill was, we needed to do everything in our power to keep these two girls in Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls.

If we could use a simple Crystal Shield to ensure the loyalty of one of our core Knight Generals, that would be an amazing deal!

Alright, I’m going to give this Crystal Shield to Heaven’s Rain. She had dropped everything she was doing in another city and joined us without a single complaint, so we had to treat her sincerely as well. If we didn’t, we would never become proper heroes.
