The appearance of Chen Xi piqued Zhou Yu's interest, and the reason was simple: Chen Xi's capabilities had been proven to many already. By now, Chen Xi had passed the phase where he needed to validate himself with military achievements or governance, as the prosperity of Mount Tai and Liu Xuande's repeated victories were evidence enough of everything.
Of course, what was most important was that Chen Xi was only a year older than Zhou Yu. Zhou Yu was nineteen this year, and Chen Xi was twenty, both in the prime of their youth. It was precisely for this reason that Zhou Yu was even more eager to measure himself against Chen Xi. After all, only by defeating such "Sages" sung about in the world today could Zhou Yu feel the thrill of excitement.
After Chen Xi and Gan Ning led their troops to retreat, it wasn't long before Gan Luo and Xu Sheng arrived with the four members of the Lu Family main line, along with Lul Jun's wife.
