"What happened to your face?"
That was the first question he had received since he was welcomed into the room by an older woman. The woman with a few fine lines on her face looked shocked after seeing the bruises on his face, but in fact, those wounds were not the only ones he received before finally returning to the Xinyang Imperial Palace.
Several parts of his body were also not free from wounds, but of course, the woman standing in front of him couldn't see it because of the black clothes he was currently wearing.
"Did Xiao Guo notice your presence and decide to attack you, Xiao Feng? How could something like that happen when you were supposed to follow him secretly?" The woman, Zhu Ruolan, continued asking questions even though the young man standing in front of her still had not answered her previous question.
