"Ah Liang didn't say much. He and Xiaojiu seem to have a pretty good relationship. They knew each other when they were young but later took different paths," Qiao Xia said. "Chu Lin, Lin Jingsheng, and Lu Bai are all from Country C, and they are descendants of famous nobles in Country C. They were supposed to join the military, but for some unknown reason, some scandals happened in the Lu Family, and they expelled Lu Bai from the family, leaving Country C. Ah Liang didn't go into details, and I just overheard this, but it seems there's an unerasable hatred between them, and... they might be biological siblings."
"Siblings?"
"Yeah," Qiao Xia said. "Lu Bai was unconvinced and went for a test. They are indeed brother and sister."
"..." Xu Ai said, "I think we shouldn't talk too much about other people's gossip."
"True," Qiao Xia coughed a couple of times. "Soon we'll be home, I miss Qianqian terribly."
