He hadn't ridden with Bai Mo to the testing site for the Juren exams, but that didn't mean he couldn't wait for him at the end of it.
It wasn't that he didn't feel bad about how things were playing out with Sun Ming Hua. He could acknowledge that the young mistress had a difficult life. But at the end of the day, Bai Mo was his person in this world. His best friend in this "new" and "uncharted" life.
Even back when Xu Feng had no idea who he really was, when his bloodline, lineage, and past lives were nothing more than question marks, Bai Mo had been there. He had followed Xu Feng into the back mountains, willing to face giant boars and whatever madness came with Xu Feng's impossible willfulness.
And that was the kind of loyalty Xu Feng couldn't take for granted.
