Thirdly, this was a minor detail, but when entering Gu Yun's room, Liao Ran did not knock on the door - was it because the monk didn't understand manners and had such grand courage? Or did he know that it would be useless even if he knocked?

Chang Geng should have noticed these suspicious details from the start, but Marshal Gu had been a commander of an army for many years. He bore with him an indescribable aura, making people groundlessly convinced he had everything under control. Others just needed to behave and follow his order. Just like that, Chang Geng had unknowingly overlooked a lot of unnatural behaviors.

Ge Pang Xiao noticed that Chang Geng's expression seemed different; he dumbly swept his gaze back and forth between them.

Outside, Di Song gently knocked on the door again and urged: "My general is waiting, Master Zhang, please hurry."

Gu Yun patted Chang Geng's shoulder and whispered in his ear: "The Black Iron Camp is here, don't be afraid."

After that, he took out the black cloth used for blindfolding and handed it to Chang Geng, indicating Chang Geng to tie it for him.

Chang Geng took the cloth strip, his emotions concealed, and covered Gu Yun's eyes.

In a blind spot where Gu Yun could not see, Chang Geng first shook his head to Ge Pang Xiao.

Ge Pang Xiao hadn't had time to react and understand what he meant, but Chang Geng had already spoken towards him in a voice that was neither loud nor quiet: "Yifu, if you keep being like this, I will not recognize you anymore."

Ge Pang Xiao's eyes widened: "Ah?"

Gu Yun waved his hand in their direction: "Don't talk anymore, don't leave my side as we move out there. This could also be a good opportunity for you to learn."

Ge Pang Xiao was dumbfounded by the completely off the point response.

Chang Geng's heart sunk – Gu Yun truly could not hear. He just knew that he was talking to Ge Pang Xiao by some means, then were his eyes also...

But weren't they still clear a few days ago?

Before he had time to think about it, Gu Yun had already taken the lead in pushing the door open.

Chang Geng's heart skipped a beat, and he ran to help him almost in a panic. He no longer had the heart to feel shy and self-conscious about their closeness. He nervously held Gu Yun's arm with one hand, the other hand moved towards the man's back, gently holding him.

Gu Yun thought that it was the sudden change that made Chang Geng uneasy; he casually patted Chang Geng's arm.

Chang Geng: "..."

Gu Yun's behaviors appeared to look mysterious even with his own people; he couldn't tell whether his yifu was indeed at ease or merely pretending to be not afraid.
