Huxin held her buzzing head and took deep breaths, while Qing Yan and Mo Chuan exchanged worried glances at her.
Meanwhile, Gu Xuanhong's personal red-clad and white-clad guards were shaking with suppressed laughter as they watched Huxin. They could clearly see that Huxin had taken quite a hard hit!
Huxin gritted her teeth and did not cry out in pain.
She was no stranger to storms in modern times; what was this little pain compared to the loneliness and helplessness of a person? She always understood that any pain in the world was insignificant compared to one's solitude!
As the atmosphere remained tense, Gu Xuanhong's smooth and clear voice floated behind Huxin,
"That is Golden Silk Nanmu!"
The implication behind his words seemed to suggest: Golden Silk Nanmu is quite valuable; can you afford to pay for it if you break it?
Upon hearing this, Huxin couldn't help but roll her eyes. Although she had her back turned to Gu Xuanhong, her stubborn and upright posture was enough for him to guess the cold and proud expression she wore at that moment.
"So what if it's Golden Silk Nanmu? After a moment in the Vajra Furnace, it will turn to ash anyway!" Huxin replied coolly.
"Vajra Furnace? Do you like it?" Gu Xuanhong's voice was calm, revealing no emotional fluctuations, yet it was captivatingly pleasant to hear.
Huxin continued to face away from him and replied lightly, "Who doesn't like good things?"
"Then I'll send you home tonight. Miss Xia, take care."
Gu Xuanhong finished speaking and lowered his head to read, while Huxin did not look back. Who can't make empty promises? How many of a man's promises have been reliable throughout history? She needed to see the tangible result before believing it!
Huxin did not linger, nimbly jumping off the Palanquin, and with Qing Yan and Mo Chuan, she got into the Xia Family carriage without looking back, never uttering a word of pain or glancing at Gu Xuanhong.
……
Inside the Enamel Soft Sedan, Gu Xuanhong shifted his gaze from the book, his eyes fixated on the spot where Huxin had just sat. He then spoke coldly,
"Remove that beam."
His icy voice was familiar to everyone in the Gu Family, resembling the indifferent and distant demeanor of Gu Family Hong Ye, always decisive.
Dressed in white, White Eagle quickly jumped onto the Palanquin, skillfully dismantling the mechanism of the beam. However, there was a deep reluctance in his eyes.
This beam was a crucial mechanism that ran through the entire Palanquin, personally designed by Master Hong. When the curtain was drawn down, this beam would automatically pop out. Since no one had ever boarded this Palanquin, there had never been an incident of someone bumping their head.
Now, with Master Hong's command, this beam was removed, rendering all mechanisms of the entire Palanquin useless!
"Sir, it's done." White Eagle stepped down from the Palanquin after removing the beam.
"Red Hawk." As Gu Xuanhong spoke, he closed the document in his hand. Dressed in red, Red Hawk hurried forward to listen for orders.
"Go to Xuan Yuan Ling and retrieve the Vajra Furnace. Deliver it to Xia Manor in one hour, without delay!"
"Yes, Master." Red Hawk turned to leave, but he couldn't shake off his doubts. The Master was always a man of his word, especially when it came to things that had been given away; he had never heard of anything being taken back. Xuan Yuan Ling had been trying to earn the Master's favor for several years before he was allowed to use the Vajra Furnace for three days, and now, less than half a day in, it was being recalled!
Was this change in the Master all because of Xia Huxin?
As Red Hawk left, White Eagle hesitated and glanced at the Palanquin. Gu Xuanhong peered through the thin veil and caught sight of the hesitant White Eagle. He rose and sat in the spot where Huxin had just been, leaning back against the cushion, his voice smooth as jade.
"Are you waiting for the Master to pry your mouth open before you speak?" His tone was familiar to White Eagle—cold and unruffled—but there was an inexplicable heaviness to it. White Eagle stiffened and quickly replied,
"In response to the Master's words, I wanted to say... The Master just reminded Miss Xia that it is Golden Silk Nanmu, not implying that she broke the beam and blaming her for it. Rather, I meant to convey that Golden Silk Nanmu is very hard, and if Miss Xia were to be careless, she should seek medical attention promptly. The Master did not state it directly, but it seems Miss Xia misunderstood."
After finishing this explanation, White Eagle was drenched in cold sweat. He knew that making such assumptions about the Master's thoughts could lead to severe consequences!
