The girl in green was named Gu Yuyin, and she was the cousin of Gu Xianyu. She accompanied him on this journey to attend her grandfather's sixtieth birthday celebration.
Her grandfather lived in Xiazhou.
Gu Yuyin noticed his silence, glanced at him up and down, and said, "It seems you're not hurt, which is really fortunate. But why did you, Seventh Brother, leave without a word, giving those villains an opportunity?"
Chen Ming still didn't speak, just looked down at the corpse on the ground, his eyes slightly reddened.
This was the persona of Gu Xianyu: taciturn, with a deep-rooted sense of inferiority and cowardice.
Despite being remarkably talented, achieving Fourth Grade cultivation at just twenty, he feared the legitimate sons from his father's powerful family-in-law. Frightened, he fled, wanting to distance himself from the troubles of the capital.
He didn't dare refuse the maid assigned to him by the family.
