Asking For Forgiveness

Gu Qingluan was about to voice her displeasure when, unexpectedly, these people automatically stepped aside to clear a path.

"Miss Gu, please go ahead."

Gu Qingluan was confused.

Weren't these people here to cause trouble for her?

She followed the cleared path and noticed a man kneeling in front of her doorstep. He had his upper body bared, and his back was bound with... thorny branches?

What on earth was going on?

She continued walking without showing any emotion.

Feng Tianlan and Jing Feng followed closely.

"Miss Gu, I am Yang Fugui, the vice commander of the North City Gate. You may not know me, but I have offended you gravely. I deeply apologize to you!"

The tall and burly man kowtowed to Gu Qingluan several times.

Gu Qingluan looked puzzled. "How did you offend me?"

She remembered this vice commander; he was stationed at the North City Gate. However, she couldn't recall any interaction or conflict with him.
