When she thought till this point, she glared at Ji Mo Ya as his attitude earlier on was too extreme.
Ji Mo Ya maintained his calm attitude as he ignored her and entered a discussion with the State Teachers and everyone else.
Little Feather also released his hold on Huan Qing Yan.
Over at Bai Chen Feng’s side, the imperial doctors had also temporarily stabilized his condition, “Everyone, Lord Ninth needs to go to the Imperial Medical Building to continue his treatment, we shall take our leave first.”
The small boat-shaped flying equipment transported Bai Chen Feng away.
Huan Meng Yue chased after them, intending to follow along but was rejected by the Imperial Doctor.
Everyone else also dispersed.
Regarding Huan Jiu Li’s treatment, he was brought away by the imperial guards in the end; however, they also promised to treat his injuries and would not imprison him in prison. When he recovered, they would get the imperial doctors to check if they could cure his muteness.
Huan Qing Yan also obtained the right to visit anytime, so she could only agree with them to bring him away for now.
She had hoped for Ji Mo Ya to assist her to retain Huan Jiu Li, but Ji Mo Ya ignored the request sent through her eyes.
Huan Qing Yan sadly thought to herself that it was expected. She was currently a burden, adding another Huan Jiu Li would only increase that burden; no one would agree to that…
Strength, without absolute strength, she could only ask for help from others, and that was not her style.
She must quickly become stronger, so that she can protect the people she wants to protect, allowing her to feel no stress even if she had a lot of burdens…

When Huan Qing Yan reached the Aged Consulate with Ji Mo Ya, the sky was already dark.
As Huan Qing Yan was about to go prepare dinner, she was stopped by Ji Mo Ya.
“No need, follow me to the main building.”
After leaving the Ninth Prince Estate, from how he managed the enquiries from the justice department and ensured that Huan Jiu Li was properly settled down, Ji Mo Ya had done everything in a calm and graceful manner, matching his status as the young master of a great clan. However, Huan Qing Yan also had the feeling that he was not in a great mood.
Especially regarding settling Huan Jiu Li down, there’s no need for him to accompany her at all.
His smile was chilly, looking at it was enough to cause her heart to freeze.
As expected, he was planning to vent his anger on her.
So, she steeled herself and went to the main building along with him.
The building was silent as neither the serving girls nor the guards were around – only Ji Mo Ya and her.
Ji Mo Ya casually sat on a chair and looked at Huan Qing Yan, “Go ahead, tell me why you went to Bai Chen Feng’s estate?”
“I planned to apologize to Bai Chen Feng; I was afraid he would really send his men to arrest me. For the sake of my mother and young brother…” Huan Qing Yan shrunk her head.
“Tell me the real reason.” After spending so much time with Huan Qing Yan, Ji Mo Ya knew what her true character was.
She was a classic example of a little thing that does not speak what her heart was truly thinking.
On the surface, she might be showing great respect to him, using all sorts of bootlicking methods, but in fact, none of her actual actions showed that she was afraid of him…
Huan Qing Yan was startled, today’s Ji Mo Ya was exceptionally stern!
“Eh, I felt that the greater demon might visit the Ninth Prince Estate, so I decided to try my luck…”
“Why did you feel that the Greater Demon will go to the Ninth Prince Estate?” Ji Mo Ya squinted his eyes.
“I do not know. It’s an intuition.”
Ji Mo Ya continued, “Then, let me change my question. How did you know that Huan Meng Yue’s spirit treasure was the Rouge Spirit Bird? You even knew about its special trait, right?”
Huan Qing Yan was startled once again in her heart, it seemed like Ji Mo Ya was really planning to properly settle all the accounts with her today!
