The two of them looked at each other and refused to give in.
In the end, Rong Zhan broke the silence first. "Those who are not involved, please leave."
Gu Qingxue loosened her clenched fists and watched Fu Cheng and the others quickly leave the flower hall with Huang Rongfa. Liu Yi and another secret guard closed the door of the flower hall and stood guard outside.
In just a few breaths, only Gu Qingxue and Rong Zhan were left in the flower hall.
"Come here," Rong Zhan ordered while looking at Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue looked indifferent. She quickened her steps and pulled a chair to sit in front of Rong Zhan. "Young Master, please reach out your hand. I'll take your pulse."
Rong Zhan looked at Gu Qingxue. Seeing her lowered eyes and her neither servile nor overbearing manner, he reached out his hand cooperatively. Gu Qingxue's slightly cold fingertips rested on Rong Zhan's wrist.
