"Not long after you entered the Linzi, we were discovered," Qi Jingyun exhaled. "We had no choice but to split and hide." He paused, "I came out voluntarily." He no longer referred to himself as 'this king'.
Gu Qingheng frowned.
"I have to accompany you." Qi Jingyun rarely smiled, "Otherwise, wouldn't Xinxin hate me to death? She's my God of Wealth, after all."
Gu Qingheng snorted with laughter, then nodded, "With the Prince accompanying me under suspicion, I consider myself blessed." He also stopped referring to himself as 'this General'.
"Does this mean we've been through hardships together?"
"If we can make it out alive, then yes," Gu Qingheng nodded, "But... that's all."
Qi Jingyun was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "So, what should we do next?" The other party was making his position clear that even if they had become friends, he would still support the Crown Prince.
