Upon hearing Xuu Hong's words, Mu Jinyu wasn't concerned about whether the mission was accomplished as expected.
He was more concerned about the tone in which Xuu Hong spoke.
"Little Hong, are you alright?" Mu Jinyu asked with delight and curiosity.
Although Xuu Hong was fine, which should have made him happy without overthinking, Mu Jinyu still felt strange—it seemed she had suffered a severe backlash, yet her voice remained steady and strong.
Xuu Hong heard Mu Jinyu's question, paused for a moment, and then shook her head. "Dragon Master... I... It seems I am indeed alright..."
At this moment, Xuu Hong's expression appeared slightly dazed.
She recalled what Bai Xiaosheng had told them not long ago, saying Mu Jinyu would be their support, helping them withstand the consequences, and their future might not be as bleak as the predecessors'.
Is this perhaps the case?
