C36 (1/2)

He saw that Gu Zheng's seat was empty.

Wu Chuan was also lost in his own thoughts. Memories from the past flooded his mind.

At that time, having lost his memory, he only remembered his name, Wu Chuan, who had entered the wolf pack by mistake and was being bitten until his last breath. The little girl tried her best to climb on the ground. As the number of wolves increased, the howls seemed to cut through the darkness of the night.

Wu Chuan was so scared that he lost the ability to cry and could only struggle to climb forward.

She … Must not die.

However, her trembling, bloodied hands continued to bleed profusely. The pain on her body was already far beyond what she could endure.

The howls of the pack of wolves sounded especially sharp in his ears.

A man wielded a long sword in his hand. His face was expressionless as he swung his sword, causing several wolves to fall to the ground. The pack of wolves did not dare to take a step forward as they howled and retreated.

From then on, Wu Chuan was brought back to the Gu Residence.

At that time, Old Mr. Gu was still here.

At that time, Gu Zheng had been left at Wolf Mountain. For the sake of training, Old Mr. Gu had never thought that his son would bring back a dirty-looking girl. Since then, Wu Chuan had stayed at the Gu Residence.

Every spring and autumn that the Gu Estate experienced, every sun rose and every moon rose.

But in the end, it was still the past.

”...”

Noticing the subtle changes in Wangchuan's expression, Wei Yi kept it within his eyes and whispered into her ear, ”Are you thinking about why Gu Zheng left?”

Just as she finished speaking, Wu Chuan denied it decisively. She indeed did not know or want to know why Gu Zheng had gone out.

Wei Yi didn't want to argue with Wangchuan over such an unsophisticated issue and continued drinking his tea.

Wu Chuan then realized that his cup was full of green tea. Indeed, one could do whatever they wanted with power and influence. This was the great Southern General's welcoming banquet. Probably only he would dare to use tea in place of wine.

Noticing that Wangchuan had been staring at the object in his cup for a long time, Wei Yi opened his mouth and said: ”Why are you staring at the cup of our Commander's? ”Could it be that you want to have a sip or two?”

”No, I was just wondering why you didn't drink.” Wangchuan looked Wei Yi up and down, completely unaware.

”If you don't like it, then don't drink it.” Wei Yi's explanation was as light as a feather and did not have the slightest bit of effect.

Forgetfulness naturally believed that he couldn't drink anymore.

Wangchuan didn't place his gaze on Wei Yi's face, but on the dancing girl before him instead.

She was wearing a pink Chiro dress, which looked like flowers blooming under her. Her slim figure made people's hearts tremble, and her hair swayed slowly from side to side. She had a smile on her face, and looked even more beautiful than the flowers on a spring day.

How wonderful …

However, when he glanced sideways at Wei Yi, he actually didn't have the slightest bit of an emotion on his face. Wangchuan was slightly suspicious as to whether the person before him wasn't really interested in women.

The atmosphere had reached its hottest point, and it was also the beginning of intoxication. Wangchuan drank a cup of wine, and his face was flushed. After a while, he felt a strange pain in his chest, a little out of breath.

Wei Yi seemed to have noticed that something was wrong with Forgetfulness. As a result, he went out to help her take a leave of absence, allowing her to blow the wind and wake up from her stupor.

A long time later.

Wei Yi looked at the empty seats at the side as a trace of irritation arose within his heart. The welcoming banquet was nearing its end. Following that, the emperor and his subjects began to flatter each other.

Wei Yi pulled at his clothes as he tried to suppress the irritation in his heart, but it was useless. He simply explained to Li Bu and left. There were many people around who looked at him strangely, but he did not put them in their eyes at all.
