"I've met the Third Miss," Chai Ye said with respectful greetings, yet neither Li Beifeng nor An Siqi could be seen by his side.
As he bowed, the cuff of his sleeve turned red.
That was a fresh bloodstain.
Fang Geyu, without a change in expression, slightly furrowed her brows. She had originally planned on beating around the bush and sparring with him to tease out some information.
But now, she couldn't help but recall what Baili An had said last night, and she decided to cut directly to the chase.
"It was Si Chen who asked me to find you," she said. "He said that you... are a trustworthy person."
Chai Ye came from Tiangge City, which was under Fang Geyu's command.
No matter how one looked at it, the assertion that he was a trustworthy person was entirely normal.
Yet, surprise and touched emotions flickered in the depths of Chai Ye's eyes as he bowed even lower and warmly said, "Thank you for your high regards, Miss."
