"Who?" Chu Qiao asked.

"The man who lured me to kill the soldiers from the Southwest Emissary's Garrison." Zhuge Yue looked up and continued, "His name is Cheng Yuan.

Chu Qiao lowered her head, not speaking a word. Zhuge Yue looked at her and thought for a long while before nodding and saying, "You made the right decision to head back to the inner mainland of Yan Bei. The power struggle within the Yan Bei army is complicated. You should not stay at that place."
