Night fell over Canglan City, with the brilliance of ten thousand lights and bustling crowds thronging the long streets.
Gu Zhan wore a bamboo hat as he followed Hong Zhu through the long street alleys. When they reached the entrance of a small alley, a carriage was parked to the side.
Hong Zhu approached the carriage, cupped his hands, and said, "Miss, Lord Gu has arrived."
"Come up!" Bai Jiu'Er's voice came from inside the carriage.
"Young Master Gu, please."
Hong Zhu respectfully invited Gu Zhan into the carriage.
Gu Zhan lifted the curtain,
and immediately saw Bai Jiu'Er, as extraordinary as ever, almost otherworldly.
"It's been a long time." Bai Jiu'Er said softly.
Gu Zhan got into the carriage and sat opposite Bai Jiu'Er, cupping his hands, "Miss Jiu'Er waiting for me here?"
Bai Jiu'Er nodded and said, "Last winter, when I first saw you, I knew you were no ordinary person. However, I never expected you to be so powerful. My many plans for you have become meaningless."
