It was a long way for her to come all the way from Dragon Tiger Mountain, and the old brat still had to start their reunion by refusing to give her any face!
"Kong Ming, Kong Ming, after all this time, you still haven't learned how to talk!"
"It is Liang's fault."
Zhuge Liang lowered his head and apologized to Verdant Green Maiden.
Verdant Green Maiden waved her hand. "Forget it, forget it! You're so old, and I'm kind to the elderly. I won't hold it against you."
"If we're talking about age, Yu Se is probably..."
Zhuge Liang hadn't finished speaking before Verdant Green Maiden glared at him.
What was wrong with this old brat?!
Seeing her glare, Zhuge Liang smiled faintly.
"You, honestly..."
Verdant Green Maiden muttered under her breath.
For a moment, it seemed as if the two of them had returned to the days they spent together in Long Zhong. But flowers bloomed again; people never grew young again. Neither Verdant Green Maiden nor Zhuge Liang was the person they had once been. The past was gone for good.
"Alas..."
Zhuge Liang sighed again.
He invited Verdant Green Maiden to sit, then asked, "Since Yu Se came here with the envoys, you must have come specially to answer Liang's questions, right?"
At his words, Verdant Green Maiden's expression turned strange.
She stared at him for a long while.
"You asked for Zhang Tianshi, but I'm the one who came. Yet you don't seem very surprised!"
"Did you... already expect me to come?"
Zhuge Liang shook his head. "I wouldn't say I expected it. I just had a vague feeling that I'd see Yu Se one more time."
One more time?
Verdant Green Maiden looked up at the faint trace of Deathly Aura between Zhuge Liang's brows.
