Chapter 595 - 574 Second Update
Ju Nanyi turned his head and the first thing he saw was the tall, thin shadow of the youth who led the group on horseback. Even though the boy’s figure appeared frail and the wind pressed his clothes tightly against his body, it unexpectedly revealed his lean chest.
Ju Nanyi narrowed his eyes slightly, finding it a rare occurrence that someone was so anxiously disregarding their own status. This was a first.
The team quickly regrouped. Without a command from Ju Nanyi, they immediately adopted a posture ready to set off at any moment. The distant riders had already approached, and the youth on horseback immediately noticed the carriage firmly protected in the middle of the column at the rear. He wanted to move forward but didn’t dare to act rashly.
Ju Nanyi let out another cold snort at the sight of the youth’s restrained and overly cautious demeanor.
He took a step forward, blocking the youth’s view without showing any fear of the terrifying rumors that surrounded the young man.
"Young Master Yin He," Ju Nanyi greeted first, with a slight bow. The youth showed subtle displeasure but ultimately held it back.
"Lord Ju, why have you stopped here?" Had it not been for his people scouting ahead, he would not have known about this short delay. Were they intentionally dragging their feet?
Elder Can and Elder Su, who followed, immediately directed their gaze towards Ju Nanyi. This youngster had deep and far-reaching thoughts; surely he harbored some unspeakable secrets. They would feel at ease only after a thorough search of the entire team.
Ju Nanyi paid no attention to Elder Can and Elder Su. Had one of them come to receive the party, Ju Nanyi would have been more cautious, but given the current youth, Ju Nanyi didn’t even feel it necessary to exchange a glance with the two elders.
"Young Master Yin He, the Empress has grown weary and decreed that the convoy stop. She might have dozed off from the exhaustion of the journey. If the Young Master blames us for this, I will wake the Empress right away..." Ju Nanyi began, then turned to leave.
