Upon hearing this, everyone's gaze landed on Xing Jiuan. Even Mu Qing's gaze was a little complicated.
"Jiuan…"
Before Mu Qing could probe further, Xing Jiuan spoke first, her voice sounding a little guilty.
"Senior Brother, I'll talk to him for a while."
With that, she motioned for the man to follow her outside.
Mu Qing's eyes darkened as he watched the two of them leave.
"Who are you working for?" Xing Jiuan asked when they arrived at the courtyard. She felt a little worried as she thought about the explanation she would have to give later.
"I'm working for Country Y's Sir Luo Lin, Young Master," this person replied respectfully. He lowered his head slightly and seemed a little nervous.
Xing Jiuan could see through him and paused for a moment. "You don't have to be nervous. I just want to ask you something."
"Young Master, please speak."
"Don't call me that outside."
"Yes, Miss."
"…" That worked too.
