When Liuge thought of acrobatics, one person came to mind.
Guinaifen, whose real name was Guinevere.
She was friends with the Sushang he had met before, and Sushang had even helped give Guinaifen her Xianzhou name.
Liuge stepped closer and looked toward the center of the square.
At first glance, he nearly burst out laughing.
