All the weapons for self-defence on 'Xu Ling's' body had soon been confiscated, he grabbed a porcelain cup on the table and threw it out with a strong force. The visitor gently tilted his face, avoiding this weapon by a hair, then reached out and rolled the porcelain cup into his sleeve, creeping in silently from the back window. His body was incredibly agile, even after this string of actions, the windchime had not made a single sound.

When the visitor landed, he pulled off his face mask and gestured, "It's me."

It was Gu Yun.

'Xu Ling' had never met Gu Yun before, he was stunned, only 'Yan Wang' took in a breath of cool air, joy showing on his face.

Gu Yun actually thought something was amiss. The cup Xu Ling had thrown carried too much power, but right now there was no time to think about it. He carefully looked outside, frowned, and quickly signed, "How did it come to this? Where are the personal guards?"

Before the sign language was finished, 'Yan Wang' had rushed towards him like a swallow returning to the woods, with beautiful steps that inspired praises in others.

Gu Yun had a sharp nose unknowing to outsiders. Within three feet of a person's body, he could detect if there was something wrong by scent. Instead of the perennial soothing fragrance, the 'Yan Wang' in front of him did not have the years-long scent of tranquilizer but an imperceptible smell of makeup powder. Gu Yun suddenly stepped backwards and grasped the throat of ‘Yan Wang’: "Who are you?"

'Yan Wang’ did not expect to already reveal himself as soon as they came face to face. Frustrated with his immense failure, he fluttered his hands and feet and signaled with his lips: "Uncle Shiliu, it's me."

The only people who called Gu Yun ‘Uncle Shiliu’ were the two children Ge Chen and Cao Chunhua brought back with Chang Geng from Yanhui Town, although after growing up, they no longer referred to him as such.

Gu Yun loosened his hand and said in astonishment, "Xiao Cao?"

On this side, they secretly joined hands with each other, and there was no information regarding the whereabouts of the true Yan Wang. At the same time, on the third day of July, a secret letter from Yangzhou City passed through the Ninth Gate of the Imperial City and arrived in Lu Chang's hand.

After reading, Lu Chang could not hold back his joyous laughter, gathering with trusted people to discuss secret matters while sending an invite for Lord Fang Qin.
