Chang Geng staggered slightly as he got up to find a fine silk cloth and clean water, then bowed his head and wiped the wounds. His body seemed to have just been ravaged, even his soul was not present, making him appear indescribably miserable.

But for Gu Yun, a man with a naturally excessive desire to protect others, not counting affection, judging by what met the eyes, he was most likely to be moved by 'fragility', even beauty had to come second. Witnessing this scene, his eyes softened. He used five fingers to gently tidy up Chang Geng's long and tangled hair from the struggle just now.

"Last autumn, I went to the Central Plains with Ji Ping. We met with a group of bandits taking advantage of the people in the name of uprising," Gu Yun said slowly, in a tone even softer than the movement of his hands. "We worked with Old Cai to clean up the scourge and catch the bandits. The bandit leader called himself 'Huo Long', his body full of scars. During the interrogation, the blade of a barbarian woman was found on him... It was Hu Ge Er's."

Chang Geng's hand trembled fiercely, the silk cloth fell down. He bent to pick it up in a daze, but Gu Yun caught his hand.

Gu Yun gently asked: "You can remember it even at such a young age?"

Chang Geng's hand was as cold as a dead man.

Gu Yun sighed: "In fact, Miss Chen had told me all about it, about the..."

Chang Geng cut in, "Don't say any more."

Gu Yun obediently closed his mouth and looked at him silently on the side.

Chang Geng sat stiffly for a moment, his actions suddenly turned fluent, smoothly taking care of the bitten wound. He then suddenly stood up with his back towards Gu Yun: "Yan Wang Manor has been built for several years, it has been neglected, that is not appropriate. I... I will go back to the Grand Council early tomorrow morning, after this busy period of time has passed, I will move to..."

Gu Yun's face sank.

When Chang Geng's speech of no proper start or finish came to this point, he suddenly stopped talking. He couldn't help recalling Gu Yun's caring attitude when he went to the Northwest to reward the army at the end of the year - did it mean everything was because he knew the truth about the Bone of Impurity? He only pitied him?

Speaking of being unreasonable, Chang Geng could display old scars in front of Li Feng without restraint, but he did not want Gu Yun to see even a little bit of them.

Unexpectedly, even if he thought he had covered them tightly, the wind could still penetrate through the gap between the fingers. Chang Geng clenched his teeth tightly and could feel the blood in his mouth from when he went mad.

Fishy yet sweet.
