But Qin Jinhao remained silent on the side, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
The group left without disturbing anyone. Everyone’s attention was focused on Mu Qingge and the Dragon Tooth Guards behind her.
Walking in the front, Mu Qingge suddenly felt two extrely complex gazes on her.
She raised her eyes, tracking the direction accurately, and caught sight of a slightly ajar window on the second floor of a certain tavern, locking eyes with a pair of cold, icy eyes filled with complex emotions.
Without a mont’s pause, Mu Qingge recognized the owner of those eyes.
She gazed at those eyes, with no emotional fluctuations in her clear pupils. Finally, under the other’s gaze, she slowly withdrew her eyes and walked past the tavern idly, leaving a tall and straight back.
Unable to see that person anymore, Qin Yiyao withdrew her gaze, turned around, and leaned against the window, her heart filled with sadness.
He saw , yet remained indifferent...
’Mu Qingge, is your heart made of stone? Do you really have nothing to say to ? Do you know, perhaps in so ti, we may never et again in this lifeti.’ Qin Yiyao tilted her head slightly, trying to prevent the tears from falling from her eyes.
However, she still failed. Tears slid from her eyes, leaving two streaks on her flawless cheeks.
The palace maid serving inside the room saw her mistress’s painful expression, her heart also twisted in agony, feeling sorry for her mistress while hating Mu Qingge’s heartlessness.
But there was nothing she could do; she could only accompany her mistress in silent tears.
Mu Qingge had no interest in making rounds in Luodu to announce her return. Walking along North Street, she headed towards the Mu Mansion.
This ti, she did not send anyone to notify the Mu Mansion of her exact return date in advance, to avoid troubling her grandfather and aunt. She knew the way ho, and they could just wait for her there.
Upon returning to Mu Mansion, Mu Qingge dismounted gracefully from Black Fla, and the guard stationed outside the mansion gate imdiately knelt on one knee, welcoming her return.
Mu Qingge ascended the steps, looking up at the three plaques hanging high under the eaves.
This feeling was entirely different from her first ti entering the mansion. It seed she had truly integrated into this Otherworld, becoming the true Mu Qingge.
"Ge’er!"
Mu Xiong’s voice ca.
Mu Qingge withdrew her raised gaze and saw Mu Xiong and Mu Lianrong, dressed in everyday clothes, walking briskly towards her.
Behind them, clad in white, was Bai Xiyue.
After so long, seeing Mu Qingge, she occasionally stole glances at her, her eyes still filled with scheming.
Mu Qingge coldly sneered at this in her heart, then took her grandfather and aunt’s hands, smiling widely, "Grandfather, Aunt, I’m back!"
"It’s good that you’re back, it’s good!" Mu Xiong, tears of joy filling his eyes, tightly grasped Mu Qingge’s hands.
This was his precious granddaughter. How could he be truly at ease leaving her in Yi City? Now, with his granddaughter back safely, only then did his anxious heart truly settle.
"Truly getting more and more beautiful, like your mother." Mu Lianrong observed Mu Qingge closely, exclaiming emotionally.
Regarding the concept of ’mother,’ Mu Qingge’s curiosity surpassed her longing.
Thus, she expressed no opinion on Mu Lianrong’s words.
The three mbers of the Mu Family, holding hands, walked harmoniously into the mansion. On the other hand, Bai Xiyue, who followed them, seed like a truly redundant outsider.
After everyone left, the perpetual smile on Bai Xiyue’s face finally faded, her expression turning malicious and sinister.
