1970 The Meeting Of Old Acquaintances 4 (2/2)

Gu Xijiu's head ached. The two people in front of her are supposed to be enemies, logically speaking.

Yun Yanli's father had acted against Shen Nianmo before, while Shen Nianmo's mother is indirectly responsible for the sudden absence of the former emperor and the downfall of the Yun family.

It was a huge relief that both of them have not embroiled in a conflict yet. For Yun Yanli' case, it was easy to explain. He was now wounded and only possessed half of his normal external abilities; he was also a gentle and magnanimous person, so he would not shift the blame of the matter to Shen Nianmo.

But it was harder to say for Shen Nianmo; his temperament was marked by eccentricity. Once he knows Yun Yanli's identity, he might just kill him right there and put matters to a close. Therefore, she tried to answered Yun Yanli's question in an obscure fashion. ”He is my junior, Fuyi.”

Yun Yanli raised his eyebrow. ”Is it Prince Fuyi?”

He turned to Gu Xijiu again. ”The young palace master had mentioned Prince Fuyi to me recently… Xijiu, I didn't know that you had a junior here. You've found a master, then? Whose disciple are you? It's hard to think of anyone who is worthy of being your master…”

”So you've heard of my name…” Shen Nianmo chuckled. His voice was gentle and graceful. After exchanging greetings with Yun Yanli politely, he walked up front and held Gu Xijiu's hand. ”I never thought that she would be my junior as well… She had put a lot effort… for me! Alright, Xijiu, our master is still waiting for our medicine, so let's get going soon.”

Gu Xijiu had never thought that he would hold her hand. She tried to break free from his grip but to no avail.

Yun Yanli was dumbfounded. ”Juniors to each other? Which one of you is elder?”

”Ask again in a year!” Shen Nianmo finally let go of his grasp. ”Xijiu, I can't believe that you've met an old friend here who really needs help. Have you thought of how to rescue him?”
