Hm?
"You know me, miss?" Gu Zheng asked, surprised.
"I've heard a certain someone mention you a few times."
Meng Yu crossed her arms and strode over. "He said you're devoted to the people, value loyalty and honor, and possess unparalleled talent. That you reached the Heroic Body Realm in your early twenties and are guaranteed to break into the King's Body before you turn fifty!"
"...You're too kind, Miss Meng. Your friend praises me too much."
Gu Zheng cupped his fist and spoke softly. "May I ask the name of your friend, miss?"
'Someone who knows me and is on very good terms with me.'
'There aren't many people like that.'
"Li Cunyi."
The corners of Meng Yu's mouth curled up as she replied with a beaming smile, "How about it? Surprising, isn't it? That my Meng Family, based all the way out in the Western Celestial Dao, would be connected to a guy like Li Cunyi?"
"...It is very surprising."
