"Is it really that obvious what I've done?"
Gu Xuanhong suddenly asked White Eagle, who felt his legs go weak at that moment. He thought it would be more straightforward to be cut down by his master than to face this kind of questioning; being questioned like this was worse than death.
His master had always been someone who confidently made decisions. When had he ever heard of his master having doubts?
"Master, it's already quite obvious to you," White Eagle said honestly. The Cold-Blooded Thirteen Eagles never lied to Gu Xuanhong.
Gu Xuanhong squinted at Mo Tong and let out a light sigh, elegant and casual. "Oh... it was just unintentional."
At this point, White Eagle's face had turned the same color as his clothes!
"Master, I shouldn't have presumptively speculated about your thoughts! I deserve to die a thousand deaths!" White Eagle said in a low voice.
However, Gu Xuanhong seemed not to hear him and sat there in silence for a while, lazily leaning back in his chair as the Palanquin moved forward slowly. White Eagle anxiously followed beside the Palanquin, his face pale as paper.
It wasn't until an hour later when Red Hawk returned on time that Gu Xuanhong finally remembered something upon seeing White Eagle's ghostly pale face and said lightly,
"White Eagle."
"At your service!" White Eagle swallowed hard and replied softly.
"You should do what you need to do. Don't stand there with a long face," Gu Xuanhong said in a calm and unruffled tone. White Eagle gaped at him, unable to comprehend for a moment.
Red Hawk shot him a fierce glare and whispered, "Did you not hear what the master said?"
"Ah? Oh! Yes, master!" With Red Hawk's reminder, White Eagle finally regained his composure, his face, which had been as pale as paper, turned red like a cooked shrimp due to embarrassment.
"What happened to her?" Gu Xuanhong asked while adjusting himself into a comfortable position, still sitting in the spot Huxin had occupied.
Red Hawk knew that the master was asking about Miss Xia and hurriedly replied, "Master, Miss Xia has safely returned home, and Vajra Furnace was personally delivered to her. However, the injury on Miss Xia's forehead is still quite noticeable; it’s bleeding a bit, but her hair covers it up so it’s not too obvious."
As soon as Red Hawk finished speaking, Gu Xuanhong frowned slightly and waved for Red Hawk to leave. Until he returned home to rest, Gu Xuanhong maintained a gloomy expression and said nothing.
...
Huxin returned to Xia Manor just in time for Red Hawk to deliver Vajra Furnace. It was still warm, indicating that Red Hawk must have put in considerable effort to retrieve it from Xuan Yuan Ling.
Huxin did not inquire about the reason from Red Hawk; with Gu Xuanhong's nine-tailed fox-like temperament, whatever he wanted to say would naturally come from his own mouth—how could anyone else guess?
After Red Hawk left, Huxin sat down and played with the Vajra Furnace in her hands. Qing Yan first applied medicine to her forehead, looking at her with concern but hesitating over what to say. Mo Chuan stood outside the room.
As for Chirp and Xiao Dai, they had been frightened in the Imperial Garden today and were sent off by Huxin to rest. The two girls were indeed loyal; initially unaware of her safety, they had cried all the way back to the Xia Family. However, keeping them around now would only cause trouble; they needed Qing Yan's guidance before they could be of any help.
While Huxin was studying the Vajra Furnace in her hands, she suddenly heard a sharp and unpleasant stream of curses coming from outside. Various foul words echoed loudly in the quiet night.
"Xia Huxin! Get out here right now! You are simply shameless to the extreme! What gives you the right to refuse Prince Ping? And you even spoke of Prince Ping in such an unflattering manner! Who in the Vast Continent doesn’t know that you, Xia Huxin, have always been eager to please Prince Ping? Yet Prince Ping doesn’t even glance your way! How can you still have the face to say those things? I see you’ve gone mad just like that Xuan Yuan Ling! If you really are insane, then get out of the Xia Family courtyard! Go as far away as you can!"
