Chang Geng's long silence had made the people around him uneasy. Ge Pang Xiao stepped over and reached out to gently tug on his sleeve: "Big brother, are you not going to try it on? The first time I saw Heavy Armors was from the group of barbarians that day..."

Chang Geng suddenly bowed his head then turned back inside the house without a word and shut the door with force.

The smile on Gu Yun's lips gradually became a bit bitter. He appeared quite self-conscious standing at the entrance of the courtyard, but he quickly steadied himself again and laughed his way out of it: "First time being someone's yifu, not quite good at it. How embarrassing."

A sergeant in Black Armor came forward and asked: "Marshal, this armor..."

"Put it...um, just put it outside his quarters and leave the key behind for him." Gu Yun briefly paused, appearing like he was going to say more, but in the end, he was still discouraged: "Forget it."

He had donned a casual attire the color of indigo, thin and flimsy; his figure was not entirely sturdy either. He had put in a lot of effort trying to please the boy but ended up touching matters that should not be touched. Staring at the tightly shut doors in front of him with sorrow, he gave off quite a pitiful image.

Shen Yi witnessed this situation, and could not help but curse: "Aren't you usually so arrogant? Looks like you have kicked right at an iron pole this time. Serves you right!"

Ge Pang Xiao felt a little uncomfortable, awkwardly scratching his head: "Uncle Shiliu..."

Gu Yun patted Ge Pang Xiao's forehead and smiled reluctantly: "It's nothing, you two run along and go play."

He later turned and walked over to Shen Yi, dragging him quite far out in the distance then whispered: "Wasn't he very happy last time when I gave him the iron wristband? Why did it not work this time?"

Shen Yi looked around and saw that no one was within earshot, then bluntly said: "Grand Marshal, do you think he is made of wood? So that you could use the same trick every time?"

Gu Yun was a little anxious: "Cut the sly remarks, then what do you think I should do?"

Shen Yi's eyes widened: "Just look, you have done all these grand deeds in the Northern Frontier, yet you hid them from him for how long. He had treated you with all his heart, but what about you? Now he still thinks that you were just pretending to be blind and deaf to fool him, not to mention the mother that had raised him from a young age turned out to be a spy from the Man's tribes, who is also gone now and could have been indirectly killed by you..."
