Chapter 895: Chapter 895: An Umbrella, A Steamed Bun_1
“Nineteen. One year older than you, Seventh Miss.”
“Why did you start executing missions so late?”
“Probably because…I'm not capable enough.” Gufeng's pale face grew shy, “But mainly, it's because the others took care of me.”
Jiang Ning laughed, “Perhaps the others do not trust you very much?”
Gufeng chuckled, “It's more like Gucheng is too ambitious, and since he is experienced, the general prefers to assign him the important and dangerous tasks.”
“Right, Gucheng said he used to get injured quite frequently.”
“Yes, he would risk his life during missions, sparing no cost as long as he could complete the mission.” Gufeng shook his head, “Every time he'd return, he would be covered in wounds, sometimes even soaked in blood from head to toe. It seems he… has a bit of a bloodlust, like he enjoys killing and being injured. We've all suspected that there might be times when he intentionally doesn't protect himself and ends up getting hurt.”
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow, “You would never guess.”
“In front of you, Seventh Miss, he would naturally behave as docile as a kitten. However, probably from four or five years ago, he started to get injured very rarely.”
“Oh…”
“Maybe he grew up, had a sudden change of heart, and learned to protect himself?” Gufeng was also a bit confused and unsure about this.
Jiang Ning did not respond.
Knowing Gucheng's nature, of course he would never tell him that his change was all because of that little girl with a limp, who was poor but offered him her umbrella to shield him from the rain, and even gave him a steamed bun.

Jiang Ning finally understood why Gucheng was so good to her – it was all because of that umbrella and the bun years ago.
That little girl from the original host's past, although Jiang Ning had never met her, judging from He Tang's behavior and Gucheng's experiences, that must be a kind and warm girl.
She made He Tang remember her, and Gucheng be profoundly grateful to her.
Jiang Ning felt deep regret for her.
These benefits, however, have been reaped by her, the newcomer.
Upon returning to the East Palace, Jiang Ning lay on the couch, flipping through the booklet Gucheng had left for her. Each move was intricately depicted, and the annotations next to them were incredibly detailed.
Apart from being untalkative and a loner, Gucheng surprisingly also had a knack for drawing and calligraphy.
Jiang Ning was taken aback by this, but Gufeng didn't think much of it.
He leaned over to look at the contents of the booklet for a while, then chuckled, “The Shadow Guards learn more than just martial arts. We learn almost everything. At first, the general hired many teachers. In terms of curriculum, it's hardly less than what Spring Autumn Academy teaches.”
“So you're saying you also learn medical skills and military tactics?”
“At the beginning, we studied everything. However, the general would assess each individual's strengths, and then teach accordingly.”
“Uncle's impressive.”
“Hehe.” Gufeng laughed, “The general actually takes more care in fostering us than his own son.”
Jiang Ning asked, “Gucheng excels in martial arts, Guying is good at tracking and clean-up, Gulin has superior medical skills, and Guxing has strong information-stealing capabilities. What are you good at, Gufeng?”
Gufeng blushed slightly, “I'm good at disguises, and also skilled at taking care of others.”
“Indeed, you're considerate and good at taking care of others. As for your ability to disguise, I must say I'm surprised. Can you disguise yourself as me?” Jiang Ning asked, pointing at her face.
Gufeng's face turned red again, “Seventh Miss, your beauty is unparalleled, there's no way I could mimic it.”
“Then what can you turn yourself into?”
“Disguising is not as magical as the legends depict, transforming into someone else completely.
