The next day.
Xie Xun woke up very early and secretly met with Ji Teng.
"You fell out of the formation yesterday, yet no one noticed."
Ji Teng, however, took it lightly: "Being ignored once or twice is nothing new, no need to fuss over it."
Speaking of which, he fetched some wine hidden in the room and threw a jug to Xie Xun.
"Seeing you still have the heart to buy wine, I take it yesterday went smoothly."
Ji Teng rarely smiled: "Indeed. Previously, it was Uncle Zhou who helped contact my uncle's old subordinates, yesterday was the first time I met them and they all wished to follow me."
Even... these people had always been waiting for his return.
To seek vengeance.
"Excellent, it's like adding wings to a tiger."
As Xie Xun spoke, he remembered something serious: "Cui Yun might know about you and me."
Ji Teng uncorked the wine and guzzled it generously. The strong wine warmed his whole body.
"If he knows, he knows. It's impossible to hide it from such a person as him."
