Meng Qianqian gazed silently, her eyes deep and unreadable.
This wager had originally been intended as a way to leverage Prime Minister Xun's power to uncover more members of the Twelve Guards. Now that the goal had been achieved, meeting those old acquaintances from the past again left Meng Qianqian with complex feelings.
Hai Pig, Wei Sheep—why are you here?
Have you, too, become people of Prime Minister Xun?
Could you two be the traitors among the Twelve Guards?
Ji Li also revealed a look of astonishment. "It's you two?"
Wei Sheep said, "Long time no see, Si Snake, Rooster."
"I didn't come for you. I came to see him."
As Si Snake spoke, her gaze landed on Chen Long's face.
Chen Long was not wearing his bamboo hat today. His cold, angular features were expressionless.
He glanced at Si Snake as though she were a stranger, then quickly averted his gaze.
At that moment, Meng Qianqian clearly felt it—the Twelve Guards had truly split apart.
