Confession, Secret of the Hundred Flowers Palace (2)

Guardian Liu nodded.

It was precisely because of this that he gave up on fighting the other party and left with Wuyou.

Xiahou Yan asked suspiciously. "Guardian Liu, do you know why my foster father is so afraid of the Hundred Flowers Palace?"

Protector Liu said, "The City Lord isn't afraid, but…"

Xiahou Yan looked at Gaurdian Liu without blinking. "What is it?"

Guardian Liu realized that he had misspoken and smiled awkwardly. "Actually, I'm not too sure either. I was just guessing."

Xiahou Yan looked at Guardian Liu deeply and retracted his gaze. He said to Wuyou, "Go and recuperate. You don't have to come here for the next few days."

Wuyou lowered her head and said, "Wuyou failed to complete the mission. Please mete out my punishment!"

Xiahou Yan said amiably, "You were facing the Jade-faced Rakshasa. It's not your fault if you can't defeat him. Recover from your injuries before serving."
