He had seen Gu Yun being enthusiastic and energetic, he had also seen Gu Yun being shamelessly lazy.

But he had never seen Gu Yun making a toast and drinking in such loneliness before. To him, this image of his yifu was almost unfamiliar.

Thinking about it, Gu Yun had never gotten angry in front of him, and he rarely ever showed exhaustion or annoyance. It seemed that he was always teasing Chang Geng, he was both endearing and irritating ― except for his usual appearance, the other countless emotions inside him were completely sealed away from Chang Geng.

Because he was just a child who couldn't do anything.

Chang Geng suddenly had a pressing desire to grow strong immediately.

At this time, Ge Pang Xiao turned around and shouted: "Marquis sir! General Shen! The Westerners brought a lot of wild beasts out to dance! Come and see!"

Gu Yun slowly took out a liuli glass and placed it on the bridge of his nose. He casually walked over to Chang Geng's side, pushed open the window, and narrowed his eyes towards the parking platform.

The liuli glass was equipped with a thin chain of white gold hanging behind the ear, covering one of his peach blossom eyes, making the bridge of his nose appear straighter. His whole temperament suddenly gave off a cold aura resembling an animal in the clothes of a human.

Chang Geng stared at him for a while and asked: "Yifu, what are you wearing?"

Gu Yun teased him: "A little accessory from the Western foreigners, does it look good? It is a fashionable trend for the people over there to wear this. Let me stroll one round outside later and bring back a Western stepmother for you, okay?"

Chang Geng: "..."

A little soldier belonging to the Black Eagle faction attempted to ease the heavy atmosphere in the room. He smartly said: "Marshal, you are not the blood-related father either!"

Gu Yun laughed along without a care.

The little soldier shook his head and said: "The world has become different in the past few years, and the hearts of the people also changed. Before, women used to value our virtues and temperament, and we didn't have to worry. But now it's the opposite; they only care about whether men are good-looking or not. Marshal, us brothers are not single because we're unsightly, but simply because we were born in the wrong era."

The local specialty of the Black Iron Camp was single men. Upon hearing these words, everyone else noisily followed suit.

Gu Yun laughed out loud: "Get off, don't group me into it! Who is unsightly? I am the flower of the Black Iron Camp's three factions, whose reputation runs far across the ocean."
