Going to War

Moving towards the library neither of the two said anything, neither Wan Qiao nor the male lord. Seeing them moving away together was an odd sight for every one of the servants standing around them; to see their exalted lords behaving so docile was odd. The fact they both gave the young man face showed just how important Hui Yue was to the Lords of the Forest. This respect, in turn, caused the servants to also look at him with great reverence.

Hui Yue paid no attention to the many servants around him, but he had a frown on his face as he saw how his clothes had been torn to pieces by the wooden door. That alone showed just how much force Wan Qiao put behind her attack. For her to attack another lord like this, it was obvious that she had been seriously annoyed with the other lord.
