Guo Yurong hadn't expected that even after navigating the treacherous waters of officialdom for years, Gu Wenheng and his wife would still treat a man of the martial world like him with such courtesy.
"Brother Guo, have you been in seclusion all these years?" Gu Wenheng asked.
"Your Excellency should just call me by my name," Guo Yurong replied. "I truly cannot bear the title of 'Brother Guo'."
Gu Wenheng laughed heartily. "We are only talking about our personal friendship here, regardless of our statuses. Could it be that Brother Guo would treat us differently just because of a change in status?"
Guo Yurong was inherently a straightforward and magnanimous man. Seeing that Gu Wenheng genuinely wanted to befriend him and didn't look down on him, the smile on his face grew much more sincere.
