Hou Niao was somewhat frustrated as he contemplated how to start a conversation with Li Chuping.
His relationship with the former Capital Commandant, now head of espionage at Sikong Mansion, had always been a strange one — mutual admiration, mutual caution, mutual dependency.
Even he didn't know exactly what he was being cautious about; it was just a subconscious feeling that this person was dangerous, hence his unconscious reluctance to get too close.
He believed Li Chuping probably felt the same about him.
