Feeling the high regard of Zhang Jiao, Ma Yuanyi was deeply moved. "Master, I—"
Zhang Jiao interrupted him, "You have followed me for so long; I know your abilities well. There is no need for self-doubt. I have confidence that you can handle this task."
Ma Yuanyi took a deep breath and nodded in agreement. "Master, I will not fail in my mission."
Zhang Jiao nodded in satisfaction. "This matter cannot be delayed. I suggest you set off immediately. After the sun rises, there will be too many people around, making it inconvenient to act."
Ma Yuanyi nodded thoughtfully and began to prepare for his departure. Suddenly remembering something, he added, "Master, there is still some Fluorescent Powder left for writing. Should I leave it for you?"
Zhang Jiao waved his hand dismissively. "You keep it with you. You may need it yourself. Besides, there is still some Wood Stock here."
Ma Yuanyi nodded, secured the Fluorescent Powder, and set off without delay.
Watching Ma Yuanyi's departing figure, Zhang Jiao's eyes were filled with admiration. If only everyone could be like Ma Yuanyi—talented and incredibly loyal—things would be much easier. However, he knew that this was merely a wishful thought.
In recent days, he had been secretly investigating and found that among many individuals, each had their own strengths and weaknesses. Surprisingly, those who promised to dedicate their lives to Zhang Jiao were not even half of them.
They had been wandering aimlessly, and if it weren't for his timely assistance, these people might have long since vanished into an unknown corner of the world. However, after settling into a stable life, many among them began to waver in their resolve, as if their hatred for the Han Dynasty had dissipated along with their fears.
This did not mean they no longer despised the Han; rather, it was the fear of being captured that loomed over them. Death was a terrifying prospect. Yet, there are always matters that require someone to step forward and take responsibility.
Zhang Jiao's gaze grew increasingly resolute. At that moment, Zhang Bao stepped forward and said, "Brother, this operation has been meticulously planned by me, hasn't it?"
He recalled the events of the past few days—initially guiding some followers and refugees to gather around the Divine Stele; witnessing the miraculous ascent of the Divine Stele and the prophecy of the Cross before their eyes; subsequently spreading these prophecies and revealing Zhang Jiao's connection to them, thus leading the refugees to join under his banner. All of this was orchestrated by Zhang Bao.
In response, Zhang Jiao shook his head. "How can you still have the audacity to claim credit? If it weren't for Ma Yuanyi's supervision, how many problems would you have caused in these past few days?"
Zhang Bao forced an awkward smile but remained silent. Indeed, during the implementation of the false prophecy plan, he had made several mistakes, nearly exposing their secret about applying Fluorescent Powder on the inscriptions to the unsuspecting refugees.
Fortunately, Ma Yuanyi had reacted swiftly and guided people away from the scene just in time, averting a crisis.
At this moment, Zhang Liang spoke up. "Brother, you have entrusted everything regarding Si Li to Ma Yuanyi. Is this not a bit hasty?"
