The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom beckoned Gu Xin to come forward, but Cheng Huaijin did not receive permission and naturally remained standing.
Gu Xin walked to the table and looked at the scroll that had already been opened.
Sure enough, the person in the painting was the same woman she had seen at Queen Dugu's place, a little younger than her grandmother, but with the exact same features.
She already knew this was her great-aunt.
The other painting, clearly depicting hatred, is of Queen Dugu.
Queen Dugu is very well-preserved; she looks like she's in her thirties despite being forty. The painting depicts Queen Dugu in her youth, but it's still completely recognizable as her.
After waiting a while, the ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom asked, "Does Gu San recognize him?"
Gu Xin nodded and pointed at Queen Dugu: "So the King and Her Majesty the Queen look alike! Look at my brain, I actually forgot about Her Majesty the Queen."
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom pointed to another painting: "And this one? Is it by an elder of the Gu family?"
Gu Xin remained silent.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom brought out another scroll, unfurled it, and Gu Xin was so shocked that her eyes almost popped out.
This is a family photo of the Gu family!
Last time, Queen Dugu said that she wanted to paint this portrait and take it to Jiufeng Mountain in the Goddess Kingdom to place it in the Dugu clan's ancestral hall.
Such a generous gesture is unique in the world.
How did they end up with the ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom?
"I think this little girl looks quite like Gu San. I wonder if Gu San has ever seen her?" the King of Liusha asked jokingly.
"Uncle, so you recognized me! Hehe!" Gu Xin took two steps back, revealing a silly grin, but in reality, she was on guard.
"Yes, just like you, I recognized you at first glance." The King of Liusha nodded calmly, noticing Gu Xin's wariness, and simply smiled, "I never thought I'd have the chance to meet a junior like you in this lifetime. My elder sister mentioned before that this painting was a gift from her. Little girl, you're the third in your family, and your name is Xin Xin, right?"
Cheng Huaijin was so shocked that he didn't know what to say.
How could someone who recognizes a godfather be Xin Xin's elder?
Gu Xin's eyes moved slightly.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom laughed and said, "If you have a small head, don't think so much. You've come all this way, something must have happened! Write a letter home here, and I'll have someone send it to my elder sister in a little while. It only takes my elder sister three days to travel from the Queen's Palace to Kun City by fast horse! It only takes me one day to send the letter to my elder sister from here. If I send it today, it will arrive tomorrow."
Gu Xin pursed her lips: "Okay, thank you, Uncle! I'll talk to you again after I write a letter home."
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom smiled but said nothing.
Gu Xin carried a stool to the table and began to write.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom came from the Kingdom of the Goddess, and his writing habits also included using a brush, inkstone, and Xuan paper.
Gu Xin had been thinking all the way here about what she should write if the Lord of Liusha Kingdom could really send a message to the Goddess Kingdom. She had already gone over each and every one of them in her mind countless times.
Therefore, writing this is going very smoothly right now.
The first thing to do, of course, is to let my family know that I am safe and sound, and that I was rescued by Cheng Huaijin after crossing the snow-capped mountains.
Then she had to tell her family that Langge Kingdom had blocked the roads between the east and west, and that it was very strict. She couldn't go there rashly, so she would stay with Cheng Huaijin in Liusha Kingdom for the time being.
Finally, I must tell my family that the Langge Kingdom harbors wolfish ambitions and has colluded with the people here to attack the Great Zhou and divide it up with the Yunhai Tribe. Kuncheng must be prepared to fight back.
