Chapter 1487: Old Friend
Editor: Henyee Translations
That’s why the Crown Prince took notice of him.
Sun Bai and Sun Qian were also aware of it.
Knowing Sun Bai’s meticulous nature, Shao Yunduan trusted that if he was fine, there must be no problem.
He moved forward to meet General Meng.
With the confirmation of safety, everyone let out a collective sigh of relief. They proceeded to clean up the battlefield, tend to their wounds, and pack their belongings.
...
Meng Wanfu and his panions joined in to lend assistance.
Out of the blue, Meng Wanfu turned to Shao Yunduan and remarked, “Lord Shao, do you truly not recognize me?”
Shao Yunduan was taken aback. He gazed at Meng Wanfu, perplexed. “General Meng, have we met before?”
A handsome and petite soldier beside Meng Wanfu chuckled. Looking up, she smiled and said, “Lord Shao, do you remember me?”
Both Shao Yunduan and Sun Bai were surprised.
This bodyguard, disguised as a man, was evidently a woman. While her true identity initially went unnoticed, her feminine tone during speech now made it unmistakable.
“You are…” Shao Yunduan furrowed his brow. He had a faint recollection of her, but couldn’t place her name.
The situation felt perplexing.
One was General Meng, and the other stood before him. They were likely associated with General Meng. Both inquired if he remembered them, yet he couldn’t recall either!
The awkwardness of the situation weighed on him.
If he had encountered these two individuals before, logic dictated that he shouldn’t have forgotten them.
This was unreasonable. It felt too unreasonable.
Since when did his memory bee so unreliable?!
The woman burst into laughter and explained, “I apologize, Lord Shao. It’s perfectly normal not to remember me. While we hailed from the same village, you were engrossed in your studies—either at the academy or home. Meanwhile, I toiled in the mountains and fields every day. I doubt you saw me more than a few times!”
“You’re a renowned scholar in our village. Naturally, you’d be remembered!”
Shao Yunduan gasped, suddenly recalling something. Surprised, he exclaimed, “You… you’re Ding Xiang! I didn’t… um, I didn’t expect to see you here!”
Shao Yunduan nearly blurted out, “You’re not dead!” Recognizing the inauspiciousness, he cut himself off just in time.
Normally, he wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake. Yet, Ding Xiang’s presence caught him off guard.
He did remember Ding Xiang. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have found her familiar. However, the Ding Xiang before him differed significantly from his memory, preventing the connection.
The magical and unbelievable nature of this world left him dumbfounded!
Ding Xiang joined Meng Wanfu in hearty laughter.
“I never imagined Lord Shao would recall me!” Ding Xiang expressed her joy.
Meng Wanfu smiled, opting not to press Shao Yunduan further. He respectfully bowed and said, “Lord Shao, do you remember saving a man in a a on your way home with Madam Shao? That was me!”
While Shao Yunduan might not recall Meng Wanfu, Meng Wanfu could never forget his savior.
Unaware of the capital’s situation, the Lord Shao before them matched the image in Meng Wanfu’s mind. Ding Xiang’s mention of Shaoding Village aligned with what Madam Shao had conveyed. Everything fell into place.
