After listening to their arrangements, Xiu suddenly had a question.
"Is the Alliance Leader confident in the protective magnetic field of the Iron Dimension? Can we stay in the Silver Dimension?"
How could he possibly be searching for the real Sun Jian with the East City Guard?
"Xiu, are you so worried about the protective magnetic field because you want to become the leader of the alliance?" Jiu Wu asked with a dangerous smile and a chilling tone.
"Your subordinate wouldn't dare," Xiu quickly replied. He was genuinely just worried out of kindness and had no intention of becoming a miserable alliance leader.
“There’s nothing I wouldn’t dare to do,” Jiu Wu said, patting his shoulder. “After I’ve taken care of everything, I’ll count you in as a spot.”
"Don't worry now, our reliable friend Xia Tian is diligently watching over the Iron Dimension and the protective magnetic field."
Xiu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jiu Wu.
"Let's go back. Xia Xiang and the others should be ready."
—Cao Residence—
As soon as Xia Xiang got back, she went straight to Cao Cao's study. "President, I may be gone for a while, so I'll have to ask you to take care of Ah Xiang and Liu Bei."
"Didn't you often go out before? Why are you giving such serious instructions this time?" This was the first time Xia Xiang had said goodbye to Cao Cao so seriously, which gave him an ominous feeling.
"Brother Liu and Ah Xiang are both my good friends, so of course I will do my best to protect my friends, and so will you."
"Well, I just felt that we'd developed a good relationship after spending so much time together these past few days, and it wouldn't be right for me to just leave without a word. That's all," Xia Xiang said.
Could she say that Ye Siwu was an alias she might abandon at any time? She couldn't.
"Oh, I see," Cao Cao said with a smile, but only he knew how much he actually believed it.
"Then I'll go find Ah Xiang first. Goodbye, President." Xia Xiang said, then got up and left.
Xia Xiang searched for a long time before finally finding the two of them by the Rangoon creeper trellis in the garden, where she heard Sun Shangxiang constantly comforting her.
“Zhaolie, I’m truly sorry for what Zhang Fei and the others did to you. I’m sorry I didn’t stop it from happening immediately,” Sun Shangxiang said. “Because I was also in shock at the time and didn’t know how to handle the situation.”
"Ah Xiang, thank you. Please also thank Si Wu for me." Gan Zhaolie's previous sharpness had faded, replaced by a dejected look. "I've decided to go back to my hometown. I'm truly sorry for everything during this time."
“You can choose to stay,” Sun Shangxiang said. “I will ask my father to write a letter of recommendation, and you can stay in the Eastern Han Dynasty.”
"But..." Gan Zhaolie hesitated, "Why did you help me after I treated you like that?"
She wasn't completely ignorant; she had heard about Liu Bei's reputation.
But she had no choice. Her stepmother planned to sell her to a landlord from the same village as a concubine, so she had no choice but to run away.
She and Liu Bei were betrothed since childhood. Even if he was really unreliable, he could at least take her in because of their childhood friendship and marriage agreement.
She never expected this reality: he wasn't like the rumors suggested, but was actually with another girl.
She was so jealous. Why did everyone else have a bright future, while her life was full of hardship?
But now, if she can enter the Dong Han Academy, whether she plans her future on her own or marries someone from a good family with decent character, it will be a new path for her.
Actually, she preferred the former. Relying on herself was better than these fickle men who would always change their minds. When she had power and influence, she could have multiple husbands, concubines, and mistresses...
"Thank you, Ah Xiang." Gan Zhaolie stood up and bowed gratefully.
"Oh dear, we'll be good friends from now on." Sun Shangxiang helped her up and gently patted her head.
Gan Zhaolie hugged her and cried loudly, and she comforted him for a while.
Xia Xiang: Sisters? When will it be my turn?
