"General, another base has expressed interest in forming an alliance with ours," Qua Tao knocked on the door to Yi Zen's office, delivering the news of the newcomers' arrival.
Arriving at the designated meeting place, Yi Zen recognized a few familiar faces— Fu Lian and a delicate woman with exquisite features, similar to Fu Lian's.
The woman was dressed in a white dress and sat quietly beside a man in his late forties: Fu Dong, the former state councilor, and his daughter, Fu Qin (Fu Lian's stepsister). A few merchants and bodyguards lingered outside, but only the father-daughter duo was granted entry.
Fu Qin's gaze held a mixture of contempt and a hidden sneer as she looked at her stepsister. "What are you doing here? Don't tell me you've become the base's bed warmer?" she whispered under her breath. 'As expected of a slut's daughter, like mother-like daughter.'
And let me know in the comments what arcs you want to see. :)
