Brother Nangong Ye, clad in armor, rode his black steed that had fought alongside him for over half a year. From time to time, he nodded at the surrounding commoners to show politeness.
This nod, however, caused quite a stir among the young girls, who despite their modesty, started calling out loudly, "General Nangong, look over here, General Nangong, look over here!"
As if by calling out to him, Brother Nangong Ye would fall in love with them at first sight.
And there was equally fervent discussion about Lu Jianxi:
"My goodness, General Lu truly has an awe-inspiring presence, a female general that comes once in a century!"
"Indeed, General Lu's rank is not insignificant. I heard her martial arts skills are second only to General Nangong!"
"..."
The Emperor personally came out of the Imperial Palace to welcome Brother Nangong Ye.
He had been worried that Brother Nangong Ye and Lu Jianxi would bring a large force back with them.
