On the other side, Xi Yu slowly walked on the street, his eyes wandering around. In fact, when he came out to stroll, he hoped to see Tuoba Yu in his heart.

He thought silently in his heart: "Tuoba Yu, Tuoba Yu, even if there is only a little possibility, I want to see you."

He knew clearly that this hope was extremely slim, but he just couldn't help but hold on to such expectations.

"Oh, I still can't believe that Tuoba Yu is really separated from me." Xi Yu sighed in his heart as he walked, his face full of loneliness and melancholy.

Finally, Xi Yu came to the young man, Cao Rui's stall.

The moment Cao Rui saw him, a hint of astonishment flashed in his eyes and his face turned pale. After a light shout of "ah", he was shocked again, and then he quickly lowered his head and did not dare to look at Xi Yu.

Xi Yu looked at Cao Rui's reaction and he whispered: "Why are you so afraid of me?"

His brows frowned slightly, and his eyes were fixed on Cao Rui, as if he wanted to see something from him.

Cao Rui bit his lips tightly, his body trembling slightly, without saying a word, just hanging his head lower.

Xi Yu had a faint smile on his face and asked deliberately: "I am also from the Central Plains, you are from the Central Plains. Logically speaking, you should feel very friendly when you see me. Besides, I am your customer now, shouldn't you treat me enthusiastically?"

When he said this, Xi Yu stared at Cao Rui tightly, as if he wanted to see through his thoughts.

Cao Rui's face suddenly became a little embarrassed. He opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't know what to say.

After a while, he seemed to come back to his senses and asked in a panic: "Then... did you like my pastry? How many do you want to buy?"

His eyes were flickering, and his hands were rubbed unconsciously, looking uneasy.

Xi Yu had a faint smile on his face, his eyes were gentle but he had a hint of inquiry. He looked at Cao Rui quietly, but said nothing.

Cao Rui was staring at Xi Yu like this and couldn't help but ask: "I have greeted you politely. Why don't you say hello?"

His heart was full of doubt and uneasiness, his brows frowned slightly, and the expression on his face was a little unnatural.

At this moment, Xi Yu asked casually: "Is your name Cao Rui?"

Hearing this, Cao Rui felt as if he was electrocuted, his body suddenly shook, and his heart skipped a beat.

His mind was blank in an instant, his face turned pale, and his eyes were filled with astonishment and fear.

A fine bead of sweat also appeared on his forehead, and he was frozen there, not knowing what to do.

Next, Xi Yu lowered his head slightly, lowered his voice and said slowly: "You are Cao Rui."

Cao Rui's body trembled slightly, and he had indeed recognized that the person in front of him was Xi Yu.

And he undoubtedly hated Xi Yu, after all, Cao Pi died because of Xi Yu.

At this time, Cao Rui took a deep breath and slowly stroked his chest. After hearing Xi Yu say this, he was no longer nervous. Instead, he raised his head and looked at Xi Yu coldly. There seemed to be endless hatred and indifference in his eyes, as if he wanted to see through Xi Yu.

The two of them were confronting each other quietly, and the air around them seemed to solidify.

Next, Xi Yu looked calm and said with a deep look: "I understand his hatred for me, but in the process of fighting for the Central Plains, it is a survival of the fittest. Either you die or I live."

For a moment, the air seemed to have stopped, and silence spread between the two for a long time.

Finally, after a long time of silence, Cao Rui nodded slowly. He thought to himself: Maybe Xi Yu's existence is really allowed by God.

He himself knew that Xi Yu was really good to the people and had made many amazing achievements in governance.

Thinking of this, Cao Rui's originally hated look also slightly relieved.

Xi Yu wanted to tell Cao Rui in his heart that even if the Cao family finally gained power, they would be impacted and baptized by the Sima family, and the outcome would probably be even more miserable.

But he thought again, if he really said that, the other party would definitely not believe it.

So, Xi Yu finally chose to remain silent, but the slightly frown brow seemed to show his inner entanglement and complexity.

After a while, Cao Rui suddenly laughed miserably, his laughter was filled with sadness and helplessness. He looked at Xi Yu and asked with a trembling voice: "How could you come to the Kushan Empire? You can't be here to chase me?"

When Xi Yu heard this, he was stunned at first, and then laughed, with a hint of playfulness in the laughter, "Is this necessary?"

After hearing Xi Yu's answer, Cao Rui felt that he was thinking too much, and a self-deprecating look appeared on his face. Yes, how could Xi Yu come to chase him? Maybe he is really too sensitive.

He lowered his head silently, and his mind was filled with thoughts.

Cao Rui took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Xi Yu looked at Cao Rui's appearance and felt a little touched, but he still had a faint smile on his face and said, "I'm here, and I have something to do."
