It seemed as if he had foreseen this outcome long ago. Even though he kept his head down in silence, wishing he could shrink into invisible dust, when Yu Wenye's cold voice rang out, Mu Xian still forced a bitter expression and said in a resigned tone, "Yes, we accept the command."
Shang Ruyi became anxious upon hearing this: "Wait, don't punish them. This matter was my own decision—"
"It has nothing to do with you."
Yu Wenye said coldly, "He should have known the result when he took you to the back mountain."
Shang Ruyi quickly said, "He didn't take me, I went by myself."
"..."
"He just couldn't stop me and was afraid something would happen to me, so he was forced to bring people to protect me."
"...?"
Yu Wenye frowned, looking at Shang Ruyi: "If it wasn't for him taking you, how did you find the location of the granary behind Wanggang Village?"
"Uh—"
Shang Ruyi hesitated to speak, her gaze flickering as she lowered her head.
Mu Xian glanced up at him.
