Jin Zijin had many followers behind him, and only when he saw Gu Youyou approaching did he order the release of Prince Five.
The forces on both sides were about a hundred paces apart, and Gu Youyou felt a complex mixture of emotions as she moved closer, while also being cautious, her hand already gripping the silver needle hidden in her sleeve.
Prince Five appeared calm and composed, revealing a meaningful smile as he approached Gu Youyou.
This only made Gu Youyou more uneasy.
How could Jin Zijin release her so easily in exchange for Prince Five? She was so important to him; how could these people let her go so easily?
Wouldn't this group of fickle people continue to use her as a threat?
Both groups were so far away from Gu Youyou, she felt that if there were to be a problem, it surely lay with Prince Five.
She tried to keep her distance from Prince Five, but he seemed to discern her intent and subtly closed the gap between them.
