Xie Zhan gently patted Feng Guang's head. He could tell that Feng Guang had something on her mind, but she didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask. He said in a low voice, "It's all over now, Feng Guang, you don't need to worry anymore."

"Hmm..." She nodded, and then noticed that there was another person lying on the ground. Just as she looked over, Xie Zhan covered her eyes.

"If you've never seen a dead person before, it's best not to look." The corpse with its severed hand on the ground was indeed somewhat terrifying. He then turned her face and whispered in her ear, "The assassin is Princess Axi Yu of the Xi Chiefdom. She captured Xiao Xiao to avenge the fall of her kingdom. I didn't handle things properly back then, and that was my fault."

“No.” Feng Guang shook his head. “This is not your fault. Since ancient times, there have been winners and losers in war. She could have found a place to live a peaceful life. Since she came to Xiao Xiao this time… if it were me, I would not have let her go either.”

As for war, Feng Guang is not a citizen of Xiqiu Kingdom, so she certainly cannot presumptuously claim that she understands A Xiyu's feelings. Xiaoxiao is her daughter whom she carried for ten months and gave birth to, and she will not tolerate anyone hurting Xiaoxiao.

Xie Zhan smiled, his emotions unreadable. The guards from the princess's residence had already arrived. He whispered to Feng Guang, "Feng Guang, take Xiao Xiao and the guards back first. I'll go back after I've finished cleaning up."

"Okay..." she said again, still worried, "You need to come back soon."

He gazed at her tenderly again, "The scenery won't last long; I'll be back soon."

Only after hearing this did she leave with Xiaoxiao and the guards.

The drama in the night has ended, and there's no need for those in the shadows to stay any longer.

The person in the black cloak turned and left the alley. However, when they saw the white-clad figure in front of them again, the person in black nervously clutched the hem of their clothes, their whole body trembling slightly. However, because of the black hood, their expression could not be seen.

Xie Zhan rarely spoke with a tone of confusion, "Just who are you?"

Lately, he could vaguely sense that there was an extra person beside Feng Guang... no, it should be said that there was an extra person beside Xiao Xiao. Tonight, when dealing with A Xi Yu's matter, he finally met this person in person. It was hard to describe what he felt. He knew that this person had no ill intentions, and even... he had a natural liking for this person.

This is unreasonable.

Xie Zhan disliked being asked things he didn't know. His gaze darkened, and he asked again, "Who exactly are you?"

"I..." The man only managed to utter one word before he could say nothing more.

Xie Zhan's gaze sharpened, and he reached out to grab her wrist. Her hood fell down, revealing a pale and haggard face. He exclaimed in disbelief, "Feng Guang..."

Yes, she has the exact same face as Feng Guang.

This couldn't be a disguise, because no one else could give Xie Zhan and Feng Guang the same feeling.

He unconsciously tightened his grip on her wrist, but when he saw her eyes, now even more captivating with the mist of rain, he paused and slowly released her hand. "What exactly happened?"

“Xie Zhan…” A hint of longing seemed to appear in her eyes, followed by hatred. But in the end, she closed her eyes as if relieved and sighed, “I haven’t seen you for a long time.”

Xie Zhan suddenly asked, "Are you my glory?"
