The hidden guards standing by fell silent upon hearing Chen Muxue's words, urging, "Hurry in! You're criminals now, so behave yourselves!"
"Alright, Little Black," Chen Muxue said as she walked inside, not forgetting to wave at the hidden guard.
"Why am I called Little Black?" That hidden guard asked, bewildered.
The few hidden guards exchanged glances and could only conclude: they're all dressed in black and masked, so whoever speaks first is Little Black.
Just then, a shiny-coated big black dog passed by with flair, followed by several palace maids: "Little Black! Don't run around!"
The dog named Little Black thought the maids were playing a game with it, so it gleefully ran even faster, like a tethered house dog. It had a collar around its neck, after all.
The hidden guards watched this picturesque scene, remaining silent for a long time.
