Jue Ge suddenly lifted her head.

To Xiao Jin's surprise, what she saw was a delicate and pale face.

Looking at the teary face in front of her, she felt a bit surprised.

This was because Jue Ge looked too young.

It was unclear whether it was because of her small stature or her youthful age.

Although the other person was dressed in a handsome outfit and exuded a cold aura, her figure was slender and graceful, just like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

However, Jue Ge's face was filled with a strong sense of sadness, as if she was looking at Xiao Jin through a layer of coffin, making Xiao Jin's scalp tingle.

She was still alive, so there was no need to be like this.

Xiao Jin was not the original owner, so she didn't have such a strong sense of immersion. But looking at Jue Ge's overly youthful face, she couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh.

Looking at Jue Ge's black, moist eyelashes and the tears dripping down her chin, she couldn't help but be moved.

So she raised her hand and whispered to Jue Ge, "Jue Ge, come here."

"Understood."

Jue Ge seemed to listen to Xiao Jin's words very obediently.

Without even wiping away her tears, she stood up and took a few steps towards Xiao Jin, then knelt down again.

"..."

Seeing Jue Ge kneel down again, Xiao Jin was a bit speechless. She had intended to put on a serious face and order Jue Ge to stand up, but seeing Jue Ge's cute and foolish appearance as she took small, slow steps towards her, she found herself unable to keep a straight face.

As a general leading soldiers into battle, how could she walk so delicately and gracefully?

It wasn't until Jue Ge approached that Xiao Jin caught a faint scent of blood and saw the dust covering her black armor.

She understood immediately and couldn't help but sigh softly, "Did you run several horses to death rushing back to the capital?"

Jue Ge was first taken aback, then replied softly, "I forgot."

Xiao Jin had already made a rough estimate in her mind, but she didn't say anything and politely exchanged pleasantries. However, she never expected such an answer from Jue Ge.

Looking at this naturally foolish little general in front of her, Xiao Jin wondered how she could forget even the number of horses she had run to death.

It was truly hard to imagine what she must look like on the battlefield.

Xiao Jin wasn't sure if it was because the original owner of this body had a good relationship with Jue Ge, but she felt a certain closeness to the young girl in front of her.

She could clearly sense that this sudden familiarity was not coming from herself, but rather from the original owner's body.

So Xiao Jin temporarily let down her guard and felt that she could trust Jue Ge.

At this point, she took out a handkerchief and wiped away Jue Ge's tears.

As she wiped them away, she calmly said, "I don't know who bullied you so badly that you cried so much. If you've suffered any grievances, speak up. Whoever is responsible will be held accountable. I'll help you get justice."

Looking at Jue Ge in front of her, Xiao Jin mentally pictured a little girl from next door who had been bullied at kindergarten and came home crying in distress.
