"That should be the Northern General, Duan Huai." Xue Yan lowered his voice, using a volume that only Jiang Yue and Sifu could hear. "I've seen his portrait before."
This was naturally a lie. He had clearly met Duan Huai in his previous life.
To prevent Xue Sifu from discovering that something was wrong with him, he covered it up with a lie.
Jiang Yue understood.
Sure enough, Xue Sifu didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what Xue Yan said. He just ate the fried pancakes in his hands even more slowly as he smiled at Princess Jin and Duan Huai. Only when Princess Jin and Duan Huai turned at the fork in front and went to another street as if they were going to Duan Huai's manor, did he retract his gaze. With a smile, he asked the two children with a meaningful look, "Do you think I have a chance of winning?"
"He's already married." Jiang Yue and Xue Yan's eyes met.
