Unfortunately, none of the people in Qiao Mu's party paid Commandery Princess Yi'an any attention. After they finished eating and had ample rest, they simply packed up their equipment and continued hiking deeper into Fu Mountain.
When Yi'an saw that none of them inquired about her possible injuries or how she was feeling after her scare, she couldn't help but feel aggrieved.
Soon, the Vassal Prince of An'nan cancelled their outing with the pretext that the commandery princess had suffered a scare, and he ordered everyone to head home by themselves.
While he himself escorted Commandery Princess Yi'an back to the palace with legitimate reason.
After that farce with the Vassal Prince of An'nan concluded, Qiao Mu's party continued laughing and chatting on their hike before finally parting ways in the afternoon.
Qiao Mu, who had not slept well the night before, was tired by now.
