Gu Xi still remembered it well. Many years ago, when she had just donned the mask of the Blood-colored Asura, a then-youthful Gu Yumin had come to find their squad several times.
But each time, Li Ming had quietly turned him away.
At first, she thought Gu Yumin was a genuinely nice guy. He was witty, humorous, and a great conversationalist. He brought gifts with every visit, including many rare items for her that couldn't be bought anywhere else.
Gu Xi really liked down-to-earth people like him.
Besides, he shared her surname. 'Who knows,' she thought, 'maybe we were family five hundred years ago.'
But Qee Ran told her that Gu Yumin's surname wasn't actually Gu; he was a child adopted by a branch of the Jingdu Gu Family...
Before the apocalypse, the Jingdu Gu Family had adopted many academically gifted orphans like Gu Yumin from all over the country. Once these children grew up, they would go on to serve the Gu Family.
