Ximen Fusu, mimicking the manner of a wandering swordsman, clasped his hands and said, "Brother Zhou truly deserves to be called a great hero. To personally travel to the Western Regions is something not everyone can do."

After exchanging only a few words, Ximen Fusu changed his address to Zhou Chuan as Brother Zhou. Although he was older than Zhou Chuan and not familiar with him, it didn't seem abrupt when he addressed him that way.

His voice and tone are quite captivating, which is his strength.

Zhou Chuan was quite tired, so he went straight to the point and asked, "Prince, you are from the Western Regions, you wouldn't be trying to recruit me, would you?"

Ximen Fusu glanced around the court, then smiled slightly at Zhou Chuan and asked, "Why not?"

Zhou Chuan said, "I am from Jingren, how could I possibly help you?"

"Heroes know no borders. The kind of chivalrous person I admire most in my life is someone like Brother Zhou."

Ximen Fusu said sincerely, "To be honest, quite a few Jianghu people from Jing have come to my Great Yue. I recruited them not so that they would deal with Great Jing in the future, so Brother Zhou does not need to have any burden of family and country in his heart."

“Dayue Kingdom is too far away,” Zhou Nuo interjected. “Your Highness should have seen it just now. There are many places in Jing Kingdom that we can go to. Why go to such lengths when we can go far away?”

"I admire Ms. Zhou's straightforward personality!"

Ximen Fusu gave Zhou Nuo a thumbs up and said, "You're right. What merit do I have to make you go to such lengths?"

"But I can tell you now that I truly admire you and your brother. As long as you go to Dayue, I will become sworn brothers with Brother Zhou, and Lady Zhou will become the Holy Maiden of my Dayue Kingdom!"

"What?"

Zhou Nuo's mouth gaped open in surprise, and he murmured, "Someone like me... a saintess?"
