Elder Su quickly looked around him.
Mo Hua then said, "Elder, rest assured, there's no one around, even Shuisheng isn't here..."
Only then did Elder Su breathe a sigh of relief. He looked at Mo Hua, wanting to say something but hesitating. He couldn't understand how Mo Hua knew about Shuixian's affair.
Mo Hua didn't mention Qinglan but vaguely said:
"I heard it by chance at the Hundred Flower Tower."
Elder Su was startled and then nodded helplessly. Afterward, he seemed somewhat lost in thought.
The name Shuixian, like a thorn piercing Elder Su's heart, rid him of his usual easygoing demeanor. He stared blankly, as if immersed in the past, overwhelmed with emotion, unable to extricate himself.
"Elder Su?"
Mo Hua called out to him.
Elder Su didn't respond.
"Elder Su!"
Mo Hua raised his voice a notch, and Elder Su finally came back to his senses, his face showing apologetic, "Sorry, I was lost in the past just now, somewhat entranced."
