Qin Shao was taken aback by Fang Mu's hasty retreat upstairs.
Ordinarily, since Fang Mu had completed the three tests and acquired the artifacts on the stone platform, fulfilling his objective, he should be relaxed now.
His anxiety suggested that an issue must have arisen.
Suddenly, Qin Shao wondered if Fang Mu's teacher had tasked him with an important assignment!
The only probable reason for Fang Mu, a stoic and calm person, to be in such a hurry would be if his teacher had contacted him urgently.
The mentioning of Shu Liangjun and Shui Miao being outside, clearly held a hidden message.
He hoped to meet with Shu Liangjun and Shu Miao without revealing his current status.
Qin Shao was genuinely curious about Fang Mu.
Drawing from their encounters thus far, Qin Shao perceived that Fang Mu was an extremely private person.
If he desired a closer relationship between his clan and Fang Mu, he should avoid actions that would offend him.
