After blocking Chen Xi, a smile spread across Lub Su's face as he continued to wait at the doorway. A short while later, a black horse-drawn carriage approached, and Jia Xu slowly alighted.

"Wen He, it has been a long time." Before Chen Xi could greet him, Lub Su had already reached out and patted Jia Xu on the shoulder.

Jia Xu couldn't help but feel a weight on his upper body and for the first time realized how strong Lub Su's hands were. Nonetheless, his expression remained calm as he raised his hand to greet Lub Su, "Zijing, there's no need for such courtesy. What do you mean it has been a long time? We met just last month. Oh, isn't that Zichuan?"

As he spoke, Jia Xu reached out to Chen Xi, intending to slip into Liu Bei's residence, but he was forcefully held back by Lub Su's hand on his shoulder, preventing him from moving forward.
