Zhou Gu did not expect to find Su Rong and Ye Guixue in the wilderness gathering mushrooms.
He held back from letting his gaze linger on Su Rong, merely gave her a brief glance. He raised his hand in greeting to Ye Guixue, "Second Young Master Ye, what a surprise to meet you here."
Ye Guixue smiled and explained, "Xiao Qi and I went to the Buddha Temple to pray. When we heard there are rare mountain treasures behind the temple at this time, we decided to go gather them." He looked back at the mountain forest, "Perhaps we unwittingly strayed too far and ended up here."
Zhou Gu nodded, noting how effortlessly Ye Guixue used Xiao Qi as a nickname for Su Rong. He introduced his companion, "This is the commander of the Imperial Guard, He Zheng. We are investigating a case."
He Zheng quickly bowed, "It is an honor to meet you, Second Young Master Ye."
He then turned to Su Rong and saluted, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Lady Su Qi."
