Chapter 39: Zhan Hui and Chu Yin Confront Each Other on First Meeting

Zhan Lan's view was suddenly graced by the figure of a tall young man who, disheveled from travel, stood before her with the sturdy presence of a pine tree.

Despite being only sixteen years old, his aura was commanding and infused with a natural dignity that made others dare not profane it.

Zhan Lan hastened her steps forward and called out, "Big brother, you're back!"

The young man turned around, his features sharp and handsome, and a face that would have been delicate and pretty was now marked with a touch of ruggedness from his time spent guarding the borders, weathered by wind and sun.

Zhan Hui's wheat-colored skin added to his mature temperament.

He looked at Zhan Lan and scanned her quickly from head to toe.

"Lan'er, I heard from grandfather that you were quite seriously injured."

Zhan Lan forced a smile, "Indeed, it's a head injury. I often feel dizzy lately, and my arm was hit by an arrow. But I'm quick to recover since I train in martial arts."
