Chapter 2049: Chapter 31: Farewell, Liu Jin

Upon hearing someone approaching, Wufu, who was initially relaxed, instantly tensed up, with his eyes becoming sharp.

"Friend or foe?"

Xiao Qi stepped forward and said, "Only two riders."

Wufu pursed his lips and said, "Go and guard the entrance."

Xiao Qi nodded, quickly walked outside the room, and found a hidden spot to squat and watch, while Wufu also got dressed and armed himself.

Two swift horses entered the village, causing the already tense Wozi Village to become even more heated, as everyone watched those two fast riders enter the village.

"Who are these people? What are they doing here?"

"Could they be enemies?"

"I don’t know."

"It seems they’re heading to the Old Zhou family."

Xiao Qi’s amber eyes were extremely cold, like a wolf, both vigilant and fierce, as he watched the fast horses approach, raising his eyebrows slightly.

On horseback, a youth clad in dark robes agilely jumped off and stood in front of the Old Zhou family, surveying the doorway.

On the other horse, a young man in his twenties also jumped off and stood beside him.

"Is this the place?"

The youth, only twelve or thirteen years old, nodded, "Yes."

As he was about to lift his leg, a figure suddenly appeared, blocking his path, with a Green Sword gleaming coldly pointed at his throat.

The youth swiftly sidestepped, flipping his wrist to reveal his weapon—not quite a sword like the opponent’s Green Sword, yet made from fine mysterious iron, with sharp barbs and grooves along the blade, it was more akin to a dagger.

The other person then appeared behind Xiao Qi, wielding a knife.

A face-off between one versus two, ready to ignite.

The youth raised his hand slightly, scrutinizing Xiao Qi while probing, "Brother Xiao Qi?"

Xiao Qi frowned slightly.

"I’m Liu Jin." The youth put away his weapon, saying to the person behind Xiao Qi, "We’re on the same side."

Upon hearing the name ’Liu Jin,’ Xiao Qi also sheathed his sword, aware that his master had long had a child beside him, though mostly stationed in Nanyue, managing affairs there.

"Where is the master?"

Xiao Qi noticed some people peeking around the alley entrance and said, "Come inside to discuss."

He walked into the courtyard entrance, turning sideways to allow Liu Jin and the others to enter.

The Old Zhou family heard the commotion and came out, their faces pale upon seeing the two strangers.

"Old Lady Zhou, Aunt." Liu Jin, recognizing the elderly Old Lady Zhou and Lady Liang, paused to bow courteously.

Lady Liang froze; who was this youth?

"He’s one of the master’s people," Xiao Qi explained from the side.

Wufu had already come out, briefly pausing upon seeing the youth.

When Liu Jin saw Wufu, his eyes immediately reddened, and he knelt down with a thud: "Master, Liu Jin has arrived late."

"Liu Jin?" Wufu looked at the youth, somewhat surprised.

Liu Jin raised his head, his voice choked, "It’s me, Master."

After Wufu went to the capital, a series of events followed, including her marriage and departure to Beiyan, during which time their master-servant duo hadn’t met.

Beiyan was far away, Liu Jin was young, and he had spent these years with Duan Rong and his wife, handling affairs in Nanyue, often traveling all over the world, leaving little opportunity to visit Wufu.

Now, after several years, though still young, Liu Jin in Nanyue, and the entire Shu region, has proven himself capable, especially in facing business rivals, as slippery as a loach and incredibly challenging.

"Get up and talk." Wufu, both surprised and delighted to see him, said, "Come in."

She had to inquire about the current situation and asked why her little uncle has yet to arrive.
