?Chapter 1407: 684 first watch Chapter 1407: 684 first watch At nightfall, Master Lu and Gu Xiaoshun returned to the mansion with a cart full of firewood.

“Why did it take you so long?” Madam Nan went up to the door, helping the two men with the firewood.

Master Lu hurriedly stopped her, saying, “You leave it, I can handle it!”

“It’s just a few bundles of firewood,” Madam Nan said nonchalantly.

“Even so, we can’t let you carry them, right, Xiaoshun?” Master Lu, knowing he couldn’t win over Madam Nan, drew Gu Xiaoshun as reinforcement.

“That’s right, Madam,” Gu Xiaoshun jumped off the horse cart and took the firewood from Madam Nan’s hands.

Madam Nan gave Master Lu a glare.

As Gu Xiaoshun moved the firewood, he caught a glimpse of the Red-Tasseled Spear and a small backpack in the main hall, his eyes lighting up, “Eh? Is my sister back?”

Madam Nan smiled, “She’s back, playing chess with Old Master Meng in the backyard.”

Everyone in the family was aware of Old Meng’s surname, but no one associated him with the Chess Saint of the Six States, because how could such a figure who was revered even at the National Master Hall be in a position where he was reliant on the kindness of strangers?

Overwhelmed with excitement as if he wished he could stick a couple of feathers in his hair, Gu Xiaoshun hurried to the backyard carrying a bundle of firewood, “Sis!”

Gu Jiao had already washed up and changed into clean clothing, her hair half wet, draped loosely over her shoulders.

Hearing Gu Xiaoshun’s voice, she raised a hand to brush her unruly hair behind her ear and turned to look at Gu Xiaoshun, “Xiaoshun.”
