He then said to Xu Luo, "I've never had the pleasure of meeting your father, but I have long admired his reputation."
Xu Luo smiled and said, "My father and Uncle Xu also hold General Cao in the highest regard."
"I wonder, what brings you two young generals all the way here, across mountains and rivers?" Cao Tianyi asked, his tone casual, but a flicker of worry flashed in the depths of his eyes.
"I'm sure you know full well why we're here, General Cao." Xu Luo chose his words carefully before continuing, "A hero of your stature wouldn't want to be framed for something you didn't do, would you?"
"Heh, framed for what?" Cao Tianyi replied with a casual laugh.
"If you're going to be that way, General, then I see no point in continuing this conversation." Xu Luo stood up and cupped his hands. "Consider this a visit from two juniors who came to pay their respects. Farewell!"
Xu Jie also stood, ready to leave.
