He was still standing even when he died. He did not kneel to anyone at all.
Shao Zhongxi had been like him all his life. He had never married.
However, Shao Zhongxi was different from him. Shao Zhongxi had someone he liked, but the person he liked had died. His injuries were caused by saving the person he liked, but he still couldn’t save the person no matter how hard he tried. From then on, Shao Zhongxi’s personality became even colder.
Although he had only met Shao Zhongxi once, he had heard a lot about him.
It was also because Shao Zhongxi had made too many military achievements when he was young. Just like the Empress’s father, the Defender General, he was like a God of War to Da Ling.
Now that the Defender General was dead, there would be even more discussion about Shao Zhongxi, the new God of War.
Therefore, when he was studying in Shengming Academy, he had already heard of this future king with a different surname. It was only in his previous life that he met him at a very late age.
Just as he thought of this, before Xue Yan could say anything, Xue Dagui had already rushed back from someone else’s toilet. He was so focused on returning to the courtyard that he did not notice Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin standing in the alley. However, Xue Yan and Jiang Yue stood at the entrance of the backyard and blocked his way, so he naturally noticed them.
When he saw the little Jiang Yue, his eyes lit up. “Jiang Yue, you finally came out? You took so long to poop, so I had to go to someone else’s house to go to the toilet.”
Jiang Yue, Qi Yin, and Shao Zhongxi were speechless.
He looked left and right, but he did not dare to look at Jiang Yue.
It was obvious that she must have disappeared for a reason. Therefore, Xue Yan could not find an excuse and said that she was in the toilet. Who knew that she would be gone for so long, Jiang Yue’s expression was about to crack.
Fortunately, Xue Dagui still remembered that he was now a waiter. He walked around Jiang Yue and Xue Yan and entered the courtyard quickly to tend to the people. He washed his hands in the backyard before he hurried to the front
It was really too awkward to amend the situation, so Xue Yan coughed dryly again and rubbed his nose.
Jiang Yue was silent for a while before she recovered. She did not care if Xue Yan knew the two people who followed her in her previous life, so she quickly introduced them, “This is Shao Zhongxi and his subordinate, Qi Yin.”
Xue Yan didn’t care that he actually knew one of them, and cupped his hands towards the two of them in a serious manner. “Xue Yan.” It was considered a greeting.
Then he asked Jiang Yue in a low voice, “Why did you bring them back? What’s going on?
“I don’t know. I wanted to come back, but they followed me.” Jiang Yue’s voice was neither loud nor soft.
Xue Yan asked Jiang Yue in a low voice in front of Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin. It was obvious that she had no intention of avoiding Shao Zhongxi and Qi Yin.
“Then why did you go out? “Xue Yan asked in a low voice.
Jiang Yue pointed at Qi Yin.
“She lured me out, so I went out. They probably heard about us from Shao
Shuting,” she said after a pause. “They already know that I’m skilled.” Xue Yan had already guessed this result and was not surprised at all.
It was rumored that Shao Zhongxi was always suspicious and accurate in judging people. Very few things could escape his eyes. He was also extremely good at using troops, which was why he was invincible in battle and had outstanding military achievements.
Last time, it was Shao Shuting, and this time, it was Shao Zhongxi…
Xue Yan grimaced but still nodded, indicating that he understood.
Since they already followed her here, they probably wouldn’t leave just like that. Xue Yan sighed, then cupped his hands towards Shao Zhongxi and said,
“Your Highness, please..”
