Princess and the General

saw the girl sitting in front of Gu ShuBai.
Wearing a peach-colored coat that covered her face, he could immediately tell that it was Yu Fu.

Aside from her, what other girl would be able to ride Gu ShuBai’s horse?

“Little senior disciple, I’m here!”

He, who was prideful and domineering toward the special envoy, now spoke to Yu Fu very sweetly.

The words little senior disciple were said so smoothly that Chi Gan could hear them from inside the carriage and let out a faint snort.

Gu ShuBai dismounted his horse and helped Yu Fu down.

Yu Fu said: “Are you returning to Western Kun or Immortals Valley?”

“I will be returning to my country to report to father Emperor first before quickly returning to Immortals Valley.
Do you have anything you want me to pass along to master?”

Yu Fu shook her head and handed him a small porcelain bottle.

“Master and I have been exchanging letters.
There’s no need for you to pass along any messages.
This bottle has a new medicine that I made.
Every time that a disciple leaves the valley, they must develop a new medicine; otherwise, master will definitely believe that they got lazy and punish them.
I figure that you haven’t had much time to develop any new medicines while in Eastern Ling, right?”

Kun WuShang smiled foolishly, “Little senior disciple really treats me the best.
What sort of medicine is this?”

He opened the bottle and sniffed it.
The smell was extremely strange, and he was unable to tell what it contained.

“It was made using herbs from Eastern Ling.
It’s natural that you can’t tell what it is.
It contains rose mallow, and it invigorates the mind and spirit.
It is exceptional.”

“What? Invigorates the mind and spirit?”

Kun WuShang immediately let out a strange cry, “I am studying poisons in Immortals Valley.
If I give master a medicine that invigorates the mind and spirit, are you sure that he won’t beat me to death?”

Yu Fu rolled her eyes at him, “Do as you like.”

She turned her head to look at Gu ShuBai then dragged Kun WuShang off to the side to speak.

“Was it really Yin Shuo who asked you for the poison?”

“It was.”

“What poison did he want?”

“Something hypertoxic that even you can’t treat.”

“Ha.”

Yu Fu gently laughed.
A poison that she could not treat, how could one be so easy to find?

“Then why did you give him one that wasn’t?”

“I don’t dare kill Gu ShuBai.”

Yu Fu looked at him seriously.
For the first time, she felt that the carefree Kun WuShang had done something proper.

“It’s good as long as you know.
Even if you managed to steal military secrets from Marquis Gu’s Manor, Emperor Ning would not care, and the head general would care even less.
But if eldest brother died at your hands, they would not let you return to Western Kun alive.”

Kun WuShang smiled but did not speak.

He was not afraid of Emperor Ning or Gu HuaiJiang.

He was just worried that Yu Fu would be sad if Gu ShuBai died.

The two chatted for a while then walked back.
Gu ShuBai cupped his hands toward Kun WuShang, “Regardless of your motive, I, Gu ShuBai, will accept seventh prince’s kindness.”

Kun WuShang did not respond with a kind look, “Even if it was kindness, it was for my little senior disciple.
It has nothing to do with you.”

He climbed into the carriage and suddenly turned around, “But if you really want to repay this kindness, I would not mind.
You just need to promise me that you will take care of her like a true older brother.”

He heavily emphasized the three words true older brother.

Gu ShuBai smiled and picked Yu Fu up around her waist to get back up on the horse.
Provocatively looking at Kun WuShang, he said, “Don’t worry.”

Kun WuShang’s eyes were on the verge of shooting out flames.

How could he feel at ease with this?!
