"...My identity isn't that important."
Lin Lin's expression remained unchanged.
He had expected such a conversation, so he neither denied nor confirmed, simply saying calmly, "I shed blood at Gu Castle, sacrificed for my homeland, and I am qualified to be the guardian of Gu Castle."
"Of course."
Gu Shen smiled slightly and said, "Forsaking the royal wealth of Central City, abandoning the luxury you were born into, you are more qualified than anyone to be the 'guardian' of the frontier."
Their conversation wasn't serious.
The night wind swirled around.
Their trench coats and black hair fluttered together.
"We all have secrets, and that's fine." Gu Shen said earnestly, "Thank you for helping me write the case file. I will remember this favor and repay it in the future."
"Stop with the useless talk."
