Seeing Chen Qiu deep in thought, the young man who had already taken off his cloak did not speak further. Instead, he quietly and cautiously backed out of the study, leaving the space to Chen Qiu alone, without disturbing him.

"Xiao Liu?"
Just as the young man stepped out of the study, Fat Long and the others who had been waiting outside couldn't contain themselves and crowded around, especially Fat Long who, with a face full of confusion, couldn't help but probe, "How long have you been with Brother Qiu?"
"For a long time."
Xiao Liu shook his head, "I know what you want to ask, but many things are not for a servant like me to answer. If Lord National Master wishes to tell you, you will naturally come to know."
Having said that,
Xiao Liu did not linger and withdrew, quickly disappearing from sight.
