Having said that, one person and one horse majestically departed!
All that remained were five people and a feather-covered ground.
...
Gu Jiao had left the Military Camp. Ye Qing wasn't there.
Oh?
Where is he?
"Over here!"
From a horse carriage not far away, someone waved at her.
"Young Master Jing?" Gu Jiao tilted her head curiously and rode over, "Why are you here?"
It seemed like the Duke Residence hadn't participated in this selection process.
Young Master Jing said, "I'm here to pick you up! Were you looking for Ye Qing? I asked him to go back first, I'll take you to the National Master Hall in a bit."
Gu Jiao replied, "I don't need you to take me, I can return by myself. However, why are you here to pick me up?"
Young Master Jing hummed, "Isn't it because my big brother asked me to come? He initially wanted to come himself, but it's dangerous here with swords and sabers flashing. In case he got hurt, that would be awful, so I said I'd come in his stead!"
