"Since she's in seclusion, let's go."
Gu Qingyuan, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke. "You're still poisoned. We can't afford any delays."
They had already told her that Song Wanning was in seclusion, but Chuxue simply refused to believe it, insisting on dragging her weakened body all the way here.
"But... but seeing is believing..."
Ye Chuxue bit her lip. 'Who can guarantee whether Song Wanning is actually in seclusion or not?'
'What if she just hung up a sign?'
"Enough!"
Gu Qingyuan snapped, grabbing Ye Chuxue by the arm.
"She said she's in seclusion, so she's in seclusion. Song Wanning isn't that devious!"
"You're coming back with me now."
His tone was slightly harsher than usual, but to Ye Chuxue's ears, it sent a chill through her heart.
'Master is scolding me for Song Wanning's sake?'
'This has never happened in over twenty years!'
"You trust her that much, Master?"
She tilted her head up, a stubborn redness welling in her eyes.
