"Brother, may I ask for your distinguished name?"
As the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion, Gong Qizhen was well aware that his interference was a bit irregular, so he spoke quite politely. He needed to clarify this young man's background first in order to handle the next steps appropriately.
"My name is Yun Xiao, and I am not from Xuri City!"
Yun Xiao saw no reason to hide this information since he hailed from Xuanyue Empire, and he was an unknown entity in Lingtian Empire. He feared someone might look into his background.
However, Yun Xiao's gaze was fixated on Gong Qizhen, and he did not notice that when the words "Yun Xiao" were uttered, a figure in red trembled violently, her grip on something in her palm tightened more than doubly.
"It really is you!"
The woman in red radiated a strange gleam in her beautiful eyes - a mixture of shyness and joy, a complex meld of emotions.
"Yun Xiao?"
