Under the astonished gaze of all the Wei soldiers, two young people from who-knows-where were taken to their camp by Lord Liu’s trusted aides.
In a spacious and tidy barrack, Gu Jiao met Liu Yisheng, whom she hadn’t seen for many years.
He was already in his thirties, having shed some of his youthful innocence, and gained an elegance and composure from the passage of time, along with a certain noble aura and sharpness of a person in power. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Nine years can change a person a great deal.
Gu Jiao had heard people call him Liu Xiang in her dreams upon returning to the Marquis Residence, knowing that one day he would be titled Marquis and Chancellor. Yet seeing him in person was quite different from her imagination.
Perhaps she hadn’t expected him to break through the mountains and rivers of Zhan Country, returning with a determination for revenge.
As Gu Jiao looked at Liu Yisheng, Liu Yisheng was also looking at Gu Jiao.
Gu Jiao had changed a lot too; the birthmark on her face disappeared, revealing her uncaged beauty, unfamiliar yet delighting.
At twenty-four, she was at the age of blooming beauty, as enchanting as a fairy.
What hasn’t changed is the exuberant vitality she possessed, along with eyes that remained pure and unsullied.
It seems, no matter how many years have passed, no matter how much has been experienced, she never veered from her original intent.
"I’ll go out first," Jun Xiuhuan spoke.
"Alright," Liu Yisheng responded.
Jun Xiuhuan glanced at Xuanyuan Xi.
"I’m not going out!" Xuanyuan Xi said.
Liu Yisheng rarely smiled: "No matter."
Jun Xiuhuan was shocked.
He had never seen Liu Yisheng smile.
Liu Yisheng said to him, "Go attend to your affairs, I’m fine here."
Jun Xiuhuan glanced at Gu Jiao and said, "Her martial arts are very impressive." Then, he glanced at Xuanyuan Xi beside him, "This young man isn’t weak either."
He had witnessed Gu Jiao’s skills and knew she was a formidable fighter who could defeat Han Ye. And according to the intelligence they had gathered, the young leader next to her should be Champion Marquis Xuanyuan Xi.
Also not an average person.
If the two of them posed a threat to Liu Yisheng in the barrack, he wouldn’t have time to come to the rescue.
"I know," Liu Yisheng said casually.
But since Liu Yisheng spoke thus, Jun Xiuhuan had no choice but to leave first.
There was only one Changsui in the barrack.
