Miao Wuxie had already reined in the smile on his face.
His deep-set eyes could be warm and inviting when he smiled, but when he did not, they seemed somewhat forbidding.
Seeing him, Murong Jiu was reminded of Miao Wuxie's mother, that pitiful yet stunningly beautiful woman.
Miao Wuxie resembled his mother greatly; she was the woman Uncle Master Miao had forcefully taken and drugged, who always wanted to escape and was therefore chained and locked up by Uncle Master Miao in a dark little room.
Murong Jiu had even tried to help her escape once, but sadly, they were caught a few miles out by Uncle Master Miao.
It was this incident that became the catalyst for a falling-out between her master and Uncle Master Miao, resulting in her master breaking off relations on the spot and taking her away from Xiangxi that very night.
