The two men were constantly vying for power, each striving to stand out and become the new Imperial Guard General.
Who knew that after years of fighting, a guy from Zaun would suddenly appear and get the position.
If he came from a prestigious family and had a high reputation, that would be one thing, but he was very young, even younger than many of the new recruits of the Imperial Guards.
In addition, he came from a poor family and I heard that he had once been a son-in-law.
So even though Zuan has been gaining popularity in the past two years, the two of them are not convinced from the bottom of their hearts.
With this common "enemy," the two arch-rivals surprisingly developed a sense of mutual respect. This was all thanks to Bi Linglong; after learning that the two lieutenants had gone to Zishan together, she specifically pointed out the key details. Otherwise, how could Zu An have so clearly discerned their general psychology?
"Although Linglong has been throwing a tantrum these days, she still cares about me quite a bit." Zu'an thought of Bi Linglong's proud and aloof demeanor, which showed that she was clearly angry but refused to admit it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
"Brother, which woman are you thinking about again, laughing so lewdly?" At this moment, someone patted his shoulder, and a face wearing a silver mask appeared in front of him. Although the face was covered, those peach blossom eyes, which were even more watery than a woman's, were none other than Xie Xiu.
Looking at Xie Xiu, who was even more handsome than many women, Zu An maliciously wondered if this kid wasn't afraid of being captured and anally raped one day?
"Xiuer, what brings you here to see me off? Did your female fans come along?" Zuan still vividly remembered his female fans from his last trip to the National Academy.
Xie Xiu also shuddered, looked around, and then whispered, "Don't be so loud, I sneaked out."
????????????????
"Even in this situation, you still came to see me off. You're a true brother." Zu'an said, glancing to the side, somewhat puzzled as he didn't see the quiet and elegant figure.
"Stop looking, my sister isn't here." Xie Xiu rolled her eyes.
Zuan chuckled awkwardly: "Is your sister busy with her cultivation lately?"
Xie Xiu shook her head: "Besides seeing you off, I have another favor to ask of you. My sister took on a mission, which seems to involve going to Zishan. She set off a few days ago..."
He gave a general account, but Xie Daoyun's trip was confidential, and he didn't know many details: "Although my sister's cultivation is quite good, she has too little experience in the martial world. Although she doesn't stay at home all the time, in the past, the people she associated with in Mingyue City were all from similar backgrounds and families. Everyone knew she was the city lord's daughter and dared not act recklessly. After arriving in the capital, she spent most of her time in the back mountain of the academy and basically didn't have to deal with any idle people. This time, she's going on a long journey alone..."
"So you're worried about her getting into trouble in the martial arts world?" Zu An laughed. "I didn't expect you to have a sister complex."
"What is a sister complex?" Xie Xiu looked blank, shook her head and continued, "Your journeys are similar, so I specifically came to ask you to look after her. I originally wanted to go with you, but that old bastard Hei Baizi has gone crazy lately and assigned me a ton of tasks, so I have no time to leave the capital. If something happens to my sister, how am I supposed to explain it to my parents?"
Zuan looked at him strangely. What a handsome young man who respects his teachers...
"Don't worry, your sister is also a good friend of mine, so I will naturally take good care of her." He patted his chest and assured her, thinking to himself that it was really fate that Xie Daoyun was also going to Zishan.
"Just ensure her basic personal safety, there's no need to take too good care of her," Xie Xiu suddenly became wary, "otherwise it would be bad if she took care of her in bed."
Zuan was speechless: "Do I look like that kind of person to you?"
Xie Xiu looked him over carefully, then nodded solemnly: "He looks like him!"
