Xie Jingchen was not surprised to encounter Zhao Xu in Nanliang, but he didn't expect to see Aunt Xue on his first day in the Nanliang Capital.
Aunt Xue had been lying low in the Prince Zhenbei Mansion for so long, disguising herself as him and Su Jin, and stealing the Border Defense Map.
After succeeding, she burned bridges and disposed of the Third Master.
The Border Defense Map had long fallen into Nanliang's hands, but despite the long-standing war between Nanliang and Daqi, it seemed that the map hadn't been used yet.
Thinking further about the power struggle between General Shi and the Duke of Guardian, it was clear Aunt Xue wasn't aligned with General Shi.
Xie Jingchen planned to chase after Aunt Xue to see whose side she was truly on, when Dong Chenglang called out, "What are you looking at?"
