The King of Quicksand smiled.

Gu Xin was puzzled; this smile made her look even more like Queen Dugu.

Oh no! If this really is Queen Dugu's brother or sister, then she can't openly deliver the letter to Queen Dugu.

The men of the Goddess Kingdom's royal family all had tragic fates, and they might even harbor resentment towards the Dugu family.

Cheng Huaijin glanced at the King of Liusha in surprise. He had been here for more than four years and had been someone's son for more than four years. He had rarely seen his adoptive father smile.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, have I said something wrong?" Gu Xin asked, mustering her courage.

"No." The King of Liusha shook his head, picked up the water cup on the table, took a sip, and then said, "Since you come from the Great Zhou, do you have any plans to return?"

Cheng Huaijin didn't hear Gu Xin speak for a while, so he turned to look at her.

Gu Xin was pondering how to deliver the letter. She was worried that if she said it was for Queen Dugu, and the recipient was indeed from the royal family of the Goddess Kingdom, things would get complicated.

She wasn't surprised to see a man who looked like Queen Dugu. It was mainly because her grandmother had a twin sister, her grandfather had a twin brother, her mother had given birth to twins, and her aunt had given birth to a boy and a girl. So, she was used to it.

Moreover, her sister had told her that if twins were born in either her father's or mother's side of the family, there was a high chance that she would also have twins. Her sister said that this was called heredity, and that she carried the twin gene.

Seeing that Gu Xin remained silent for a long time, Cheng Huaijin was about to speak for her, but the King of Liusha Kingdom spoke first.

"Your surname is Gu? Are you from Kuncheng?" the King of Liusha asked.

Gu Xin suddenly looked up, almost asking how she knew.

“I have an elder in the Gu family in Kuncheng, and of course, I also have relatives in the Goddess Kingdom. So, Gu San, are you still not going to tell the truth?” the King of Liusha asked with a smile.

Gu Xin's heart raced. She was starting to doubt people. Even if this really was Queen Dugu's brother, and technically her cousin, she didn't know whether she should tell the truth on someone else's turf.

"So you're not from Kuncheng after all! Then you and Ah Hai can go down there!" The King of Liusha waved his hand.

"Your Majesty!" Gu Xin lifted his robe and knelt on one knee. "I have a favor to ask. I heard from Prince Ahai that Your Majesty can communicate with the Goddess Kingdom. I would like to ask Your Majesty and the person who communicates with them to help me send a letter to Kun City. The Goddess Kingdom and the Great Zhou are currently on friendly terms, so there is no need to worry about not being able to reach Kun City. As for the reward, Your Majesty can name whatever you wish."

"Alright, I'll show you two paintings. If you recognize the people in them, I'll help you. If not, then I'm sorry!" After saying this, the king got up and left.

Gu Xin looked at Cheng Huaijin blankly, but Cheng Huaijin was even more confused than her.

“Xin Xin, you can just say you’re the son of the prefect of Kunzhou. My godfather doesn’t dislike the Great Zhou.” Cheng Huaijin whispered.

"Sigh!" Gu Xin sighed, "But I'm afraid he'll hate the royal family of the Goddess Kingdom!"

Cheng Huaijin: "?"

Gu Xin had never told him about the relationship between the Gu family and the royal family of the Goddess Kingdom, so he didn't know what Gu Xin meant by saying that.

Before Cheng Huaijin could ask any more questions, the King of Liusha arrived with two scrolls.

The scroll looked like it had been stored for a long time. Gu Xin had a vague guess in her mind: if the person in the painting was really as she guessed, then the king of the Flowing Sand Kingdom might not necessarily dislike the royal family of the Goddess Kingdom.
