Now, regarding the families safeguarding these mysterious caves, Hu Ma was still utterly ignorant, and what had happened to Xiang was only partially understood. Bringing her to see a doctor was primarily for Miss White Wine's sake. She was one of their own, and whether Xiang should be treated, and how, was all up to her, so Hu Ma didn't have to worry.

To him, it was unclear if this represented some complex sentiment.
