"Yo-yo-yo-your Highness..." The young boy stiffened. Even after stuttering for a long while, he still wasn't able to articulate clearly.
Yao Si sighed. "Just call me Yao Si!"
"Yes!" He straightened, agreeing instantly as though he had received a command.
"Are you the person Yao Qian mentioned?"
"Yes." He took a deep breath, trying to calm his nerves before replying. "I-I'm a bloodling from… the 720 generation... I'm called… Gu-gu-gu Shucheng. Elder Yao personally instructed me to ensure that you are escorted to-to the academy safely."
"Hello." Yao Si reached out her hand instinctively. "Nice to meet you."
The boy stilled, his eyes going wide. As though he had received a heavenly gift, he suddenly took hold of her hand and went down on one knee. He leaned forward to tap her nails with his forehead, which was a special greeting by the bloodlings. In a respectful manner, he responded, "It's my honor, Your Highness."
