In Mu Qianyue's contemplation, the dawn broke unknowingly, an entire night gone without sleep. She was sure that at this moment, Huo Xi too must have spent a sleepless night.
Outside, the day had fully brightened, marking the beginning of a new day.
Everyone got up one after another, and after freshening up, they gathered in the courtyard, where the morning breeze carried a slight sweetness.
"Huo Xi, is there any fun place in Vermilion Bird City? Or any delicious food? Be our guide, will you?" Xiao Xuan'er said with a beaming smile.
Huo Xi's expression regained its usual cool detachment. The sorrow, anger, and hatred from yesterday had all vanished, entirely restrained and hidden deep within his heart.
"Sure."
Mu Qianyue and her group followed Huo Xi out of the courtyard, walking through the gardens of the Shangguan Mansion, when suddenly an angry shout erupted beside them, "Shangguan Mo! How dare a good-for-nothing like you be here?"
