Gucheng remained silent.
Jiang Ning added, "Uncle is a general, he is no longer young, and it is very dangerous for him to fight battles outside. You should go to protect him."
"Yes," Gucheng agreed.
"You can go back earlier to prepare. If there's anything, you can discuss it with Uncle. I think the other Shadow Guards need you to return as well."
"Alright," Gucheng responded succinctly.
"When are you planning to go back?"
"Anytime, I can," Gucheng said calmly, "Tomorrow, is that alright?"
"Of course, if you want to," Jiang Ning laughed, "then go and pack your things."
"No rush," Gucheng answered slowly, "I can protect Seventh Miss one more time."
Jiang Ning laughed, "Alright."

The Elegant Heir Palace was filled with young girls sent from all over for selection.
