Chapter 559: The First Confrontation

When Zhuge Kongfang approached, Gu Shishi instinctively felt a pang of fear. However, as she glanced at the broad back of Ye Fei standing in front of her, that fear quickly dissipated. She smiled slightly at Zhuge Kongfang and greeted him, "Uncle Zhuge, it's good to see you."

"Why are you being so formal, child?" Zhuge Kongfang's expression softened, and his voice was filled with tenderness. "Shishi, why didn't you come to me when you escaped? I thought you had met the same fate as your family and grieved for you for a long time."

"I…" Gu Shishi's heart ached as memories of the past flooded back, and she nearly shed tears.

Ye Fei suddenly interjected, "Mr. Kongfang, you have quite a sharp eye. We're sitting in such a remote corner, yet you managed to spot Shishi among a thousand people and recognize her despite the changes she's undergone in the past six months. That's truly impressive."
