Zhao Douan's calm demeanor gradually disappeared, replaced by confusion and surprise.
He had not paid much attention to the Embroidered Robe Envoy who had been lurking around him, revealing the disguise was mostly to satisfy his curiosity. As for the idea of trying to win them over, it was there but he held little hope.
But when Nie Yurong's face, so remarkably similar to Yu Xiu's, came into view, Zhao Douan finally became serious.
A coincidence? There are many similar-looking people in the world, but to be so alike it's as if cast from the same mold is rare, especially since the Jade Sleeve Priestess is in the city.
Was this a deliberate move by Mu Prince Manor? Finding someone similar to Yu Xiu to approach him? No, that doesn't make sense. If the goal was to disguise as Yu Xiu, then assuming the guise of "Bai Sun" would be superfluous and unnecessary, especially since Yu Xiu's involvement was never part of the plan, and this priestess always wore a veil to avoid trouble.
