Huxin and Xuan Yuan Ling spent a day in the Ancestral Hall Prison like lords.
The two returned to Xia Manor together.
On the way, Huxin sat in the carriage, covered with the silk quilt given to her by Gu Xuanhong, resting her head on a warm jade pillow, while Xuan Yuan Ling rode ahead on horseback.
The onlookers along the road were buzzing with discussion.
"Hey? Isn't that the carriage of the Xia Family? But the one riding isn't Xiahou or anyone from the Xia Family, it's actually the Xuan Yuan Heir?"
"I heard that inside that carriage is Miss Xia Xia Huxin."
"Miss Xia and Xuan Yuan Heir went into the Ancestral Hall Prison yesterday, right? I thought they would be in serious trouble this time! They came out completely unscathed?"
Seeing Xuan Yuan Ling riding a tall horse with an air of confidence, the crowd's discussions grew louder.
"Yes, yes! It's really strange. What kind of place is the Royal Ancestral Hall? How many people come out alive after entering? Even if they don't die, they lose half their lives! It's truly miraculous!"
"What do you know! The one who protected them is Gu Family Hong Ye! Who is Gu Family Hong Ye? When he stomps his foot, the entire Vast Continent shakes three times!"
"Master Hong intervened?"
A considerable commotion arose among the people on both sides of the street.
Inside the carriage, Huxin closed her eyes to rest, allowing the outside discussions to swirl around her.
Since the appearance of Nalan Mingqing, everyone has been going in circles around his actions. And Nalan Mingqing's goal was likely to pull everyone into the carefully drawn circle he had prepared, capturing them all at once.
Even if it meant mutual destruction, he was willing to take that risk.
Xuan Yuan Ling Wherever he rode, the common people would consciously make way, without needing anyone to clear the path in front. Everyone watched from a distance, knowing that the renowned Xuan Yuan Heir was arriving in his bright red attire, and they hurriedly took detours to avoid him.
Who didn't know that whenever Xuan Yuan Heir went out, it was always filled with danger? No one dared to rush forward for that thrill.
"I say, the feeling of Xuan Yuan Heir and Miss Xia returning to the Xia Family, doesn’t it look just like Miss Xia going back to her family? What do you all think?"
Someone among the onlookers made an inappropriate remark.
Inside the carriage, Huxin stumbled slightly, almost sliding off her seat.
Meanwhile, Xuan Yuan Heir proudly curled his lips.
"Jin Lan, reward him with a hundred taels of silver." Xuan Yuan Heir was in a good mood and naturally generous.
Huxin couldn't help but twitch her lips inside the carriage.
The carriage returned to the Xia Family amidst numerous discussions.
Huxin dove into her room for a nap.
Meanwhile, Xuan Yuan Ling was discussing matters with Xuan Yuan Old King and Xiahou in the front hall.
After sleeping all day, Huxin finally got up during dinner time.
Mo Chuan waited in the courtyard. Upon seeing her come out, he stood respectfully to the side.
"How has Qing Yan been lately?" Huxin asked in a low voice, her eyes filled with boundless hatred for Nalan Mingqing.
Mentioning Qing Yan, Mo Chuan's gaze darkened involuntarily.
"Replying to Miss, it's still the same as before."
"I understand." Huxin said lightly, then walked towards the front hall with Mo Chuan.
Her demeanor appeared cold and indifferent, but Mo Chuan understood that his young lady's concern for Qing Yan was beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
...
In the front hall, Xuan Yuan Ling was half-heartedly responding to Xuan Yuan Old King and Xiahou, clearly distracted.
His mind was entirely focused on Huxin. After Huxin had slept all day, he stubbornly stayed at the Xia Family, drinking tea for the entire day.
He had gone to the restroom countless times.
Xia Yingba naturally understood Xuan Yuan Ling's thoughts; whether he would become Xia Yingba's son-in-law depended on Xuan Yuan Ling's abilities.
His Huxin was no longer the same Huxin as before.
Although he found his daughter's transformation strange, no matter what, she was still his daughter. What father wouldn't want their daughter to do better and better?
Xuan Yuan Ling wasn't a bad person; it was just that when his madness struck, he became unrecognizable. What would happen if he hurt Huxin at night?
This was Xia Yingba's only concern!
Xuan Yuan Old King glanced at his distracted son but remained silent with a smile.
After a moment of contemplation, Xia Yingba spoke heavily,
"The current situation cannot be understood in just a day or two. Let's end it here for today. The Old Prince Xuanyuan is tired, and the Heir has just come out of the Ancestral Hall Prison; he needs rest too."
Xia Yingba realized that this was not a dismissal order, but rather an unwillingness to let Xuan Yuan Old King continue waiting with his son.
He couldn't say how long they would wait; it felt a bit embarrassing for him, Xia Yingba, to have an old man and a young man waiting for his precious daughter while he was being protective.
Upon hearing Xia Yingba's words, Xuan Yuan Ling couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Xiahou, that's not the case. It's only just dark, and besides, going back now is meaningless. The Secret Prison of the Xuan Yuan Manor is currently being reorganized. If we don't come up with a way to deal with Nalan Mingqing today, I won't feel at ease."
Xuan Yuan Ling shamelessly spoke up, determined not to leave until he saw Huxin.
Xia Yingba let out a helpless cough.
Having known Xuan Yuan Old King for so long, it felt awkward to ask them to leave.
Moreover, it was rare for Xuan Yuan Old King to see his son interested in a woman; he was more than happy about it! Even if Xuan Yuan Ling asked him to fetch the stars and moon from the sky right now, Xuan Yuan Old King would gladly oblige.
What was it to just stick around and wait with Xuan Yuan Ling?
It didn't matter!
Seeing that the old man and young man were determined to engage in a war of attrition, Xia Yingba smiled helplessly and instructed his servants to prepare dinner.
Well! These two had already eaten two meals here today.
With this dinner included, that made three meals.
It wasn't that Xia Yingba was stingy; it was just that having two extra people suddenly appear made him feel quite unaccustomed.
At that moment, the voice of a servant announcing something saved Xia Yingba.
"Master, the young lady has woken up and is coming this way."
"I'll go take a look at Huxin Sister."
As soon as the servant from the Xia Family finished speaking, Xuan Yuan Ling, who had been waiting all day, couldn't wait any longer and stood up to walk outside.
Xia Yingba and Xuan Yuan Old King exchanged glances; the former looked helpless while the latter appeared relieved.
"I say, Old Man Xia, what do you mean by that expression? Do you think my son is unworthy of your daughter because he has that madness? Have you forgotten? Once Nie Jing'er returns, she will know how to cure his madness. By then, he will be just like any other person. What is there for you to worry about?"
Xuan Yuan Old King understood Xia Yingba's concerns and decided to speak plainly.
Having known each other for many years, there was no need for him to beat around the bush.
Xia Yingba waved his hand and replied calmly, "I don't mean it that way. It also depends on whether Huxin likes him. If she does, even if Xuan Yuan Ling's madness isn't cured, I have no objections. It's just that Nie Jing'er is known for being ruthless in her dealings. Trying to extract a remedy from her... that's quite difficult."
Xia Yingba's concerns and worries were not without reason.
In the past, they had failed even when working together, and now there was an unpredictable Nalan Mingqing involved. Obtaining the antidote would indeed be a daunting task.
