Second Master Jing went to the kitchen and found a pile of food—fruits, braised chicken, dried at. He packed several large bowls to bring to his elder brother.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw his elder brother happily chatting with that young man.
Actually, his elder brother never spoke, and he was puzzled as to why the phrase "happily chatting" ca to his mind.
Duke An's hand treatnt was already finished, but Gu Jiao was still sitting on the small stool beside him.
The scene was oddly harmonious, as if he himself were the extra person.
Second Master Jing stood there dumbfounded for three seconds before walking over to Gu Jiao and saying, "Don't sit here. My elder brother doesn't like others being too close to him."
Duke An: "..."
Was it too late to strangle his own younger brother now?
After the Old Mada passed away, the forr Duke An remarried. His stepmother was a virtuous and kind woman who took ticulous care of the young heir. Only after the young heir expressed his desire for siblings did his stepmother have two children, one of whom was Second Master Jing.
Duke An regretted it. He shouldn't have asked for a younger brother.
The rain had stopped, and Gu Jiao should be heading back.
Duke An's eyes revealed a strong reluctance, which was a strange feeling; he wanted to keep her here.
Duke An lowered his gaze, tapping his fingers on the armrest a few tis.
Gu Jiao looked at his fingers and said, "No, it's too late. If I leave after having my al here, the inner city gates will be closed."
Second Master Jing was taken aback when he heard this, "My elder brother spoke to you?"
How co he didn't hear it?
Gu Jiao pointed to Duke An's hand, "He did."
Second Master Jing: "..."
Kid, I didn't read much, but don't try to fool .
Second Master Jing thought Gu Jiao was just making stuff up. He and his elder brother had a deep, unspoken understanding. Even he couldn’t decipher what his elder brother's few taps ant, let alone so random kid they just t.
Gu Jiao was about to leave, and Second Master Jing couldn't keep her any longer. Under the intimidating gaze of his elder brother, he reluctantly brought out the food he had worked so hard to get from the kitchen, saying, "Take this with you on the road."
"No need." Gu Jiao replied.
"At least take a little." Second Master Jing insisted.
Gu Jiao paused, then reached out and took a piece of jerky.
Second Master Jing was surprised, "Huh? You like this too?"
"You like it?" Gu Jiao asked him.
Second Master Jing shook his head, "I don't like it, my elder brother does."
Gu Jiao: "Oh."
Second Master Jing was a master of words, complaining about it with great exaggeration, but when it ca to actually giving sothing to Gu Jiao, he was surprisingly generous. He wrapped the whole plate of jerky in paper and handed it to Gu Jiao. "Here, take it and eat on the way."
Gu Jiao broke off half and handed it to Duke An.
Second Master Jing was about to say that the kitchen still had more, and he could just go get so for his elder brother later.
But then, he saw his elder brother's fingers pressing down on that half-wrapped jerky.
That strange feeling returned again. Did his elder brother just smile?
Why did his elder brother seem like an overjoyed father after his own child showed their filial piety?
Second Master Jing clutched his chest, "I've seen a ghost, truly seen a ghost."
This kid made him think of his elder brother-in-law one mont, and then reminded him of his prematurely deceased niece, Yinyin, the next mont.
He seriously suspected that he had attracted so unclean things recently. He should ask his wife to go to the temple, burn incense, and bring back a safety amulet to ward off evil.
Gu Jiao went to the stables.
The Black Wind King's injuries had already been treated by the physician Second Master Jing had called. dicine was applied, but Black Wind King's spirits were still low.
Gu Jiao decided to take it back with her.
Second Master Jing walked over and said, "Have you thought it through? This is Han Ye's horse."
"Who is Han Ye?" Gu Jiao asked.
Second Master Jing replied, "The heir of the Han Family, Han shizi. His na is Han Ye. It's not the 'night' Ye, it's the 'glorious' Ye."
Gu Jiao: "Oh."
Second Master Jing gasped weakly, "You're really not afraid? This is his horse! If he finds out you took it back, he'll definitely co after you! And——this horse seems to rember its previous owner. It has only ever recognized one master. Even if you take it back, it won't acknowledge you as its new master."
Gu Jiao: "Oh."
Second Master Jing: "..."
Could you not react so calmly?
Han shizi had long held a grudge against her. Whether or not the Black Wind King was involved, they were already mortal enemies. As for the matter of recognizing a new master, Gu Jiao had never even considered it.
There was no need to fuss about being master and servant.
Gu Jiao mounted her horse and took both the horse king and the Black Wind King back ho.
Her family was surprised to see the Black Wind King, and Gu Jiao recounted the events of the afternoon.
The family sat in the main room, except for Gu Yan, who had gone to the backyard to brush the Black Wind King.
Lady Nan was puzzled, asking, "Why did it suddenly go looking for its forr master? Was it triggered by sothing?"
Master Lu suddenly slapped his forehead, "Could it be that when it saw your red-tasseled spear, it realized its master was no longer on the battlefield?"
The spear was tied to the person.
The War God Xuanyuan Li’s red-tasseled spear would never leave his hand easily, so if the red-tasseled spear had returned, then the Xuanyuan Family should also have returned.
It was hard to imagine what emotions it carried when it went to greet its master, only to be crushed by the realization that its master would never return.
Gu Jiao was montarily stunned, "My red-tasseled spear…"
Master Lu looked at her confused expression and asked in disbelief, “You didn’t know what kind of spear you were using all this ti?"
Gu Jiao: "Uh…"
Lady Nan was equally astonished, "You truly didn't know?"
Gu Jiao looked at the two of them, "You both knew?"
The couple spoke in unison, "Of course! We thought you already knew!"
Gu Jiao said, "When my sworn brother gave it to , he didn't ntion its origin."
Master Lu asked, "So what do you think of this spear?"
Gu Jiao thought seriously and said, "It's handy, and I like it."
Master Lu said matter-of-factly, "Of course it's good. It's Xuanyuan Li's divine weapon!"
Gu Jiao was slightly taken aback, "It's Xuanyuan Li's spear?"
To be honest, the red-tasseled spear had been so ssed up by Little Jing Kong that Master Lu might not have recognized it if he hadn’t seen it every day. It was no wonder that when Gu Jiao had fought with Han shizi earlier, Han shizi didn’t realize it was Xuanyuan Li’s divine weapon.
Gu Jiao suddenly understood, "So that's why."
Lady Nan asked, "Why what?"
Gu Jiao replied, "When I was practicing with the spear, I noticed the Black Wind King was very interested in it."
Speaking of which, Gu Jiao obtaining this spear was purely by chance.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:
Description:
In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becos a harbinger of chaos.
When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.
The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.
From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.
***
Jiang Baiyan had never encountered soone like Shi Dai.
After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"
Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred tis! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"
Shi Dai replied, "Does it co with als and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
—
Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon , alri—”
Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."
Jiang Baiyan: ...?
He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
