The sudden turn of events caught Xiao Mu by surprise, he had not expected Du Lan'er to actually come to see him, "Who is your master?"
"My master's name is Li Jiesheng," Du Lan'er hesitated for a second or two before revealing a name.
Li Jiesheng?
Xiao Mu found the name unfamiliar and probed, "A person from beyond the heavens?"
"Yes and no, my master is not someone who goes along with the people from the Heavenly Court," Du Lan'er became cautious all of a sudden, choosing her words very carefully.
Not aligned with the people from the Heavenly Court, and with the Heavenly Court now under the rule of Emperor Taija, could this Li Jiesheng be one of the other emperors' men? Emperor Zhenbing? Emperor Xuanding? Or perhaps Emperor Miaoyi?
"Why does your master want to meet me?" Xiao Mu held back a bellyful of questions, not acting recklessly.
