She discovered that, stripped of all those halos, Chu Mubai was just an awkward person. It was just a question of what exactly happened that night that made him make such a resolute decision.

She searched through all the letters but couldn't find the reason.

However, at the very bottom of the box, she found the white jade mask that she had bought for him before. She had thrown hers into her storage ring, while Chu Mubai's mask was clearly well preserved.

She looked at the sleeping man in the room and couldn't help but sigh softly.

That stupid man.

Outside, the sky was already turning white, and dawn was breaking.

Xia Yixin pondered for a moment, then picked up a brand new sheet of paper and began to write a letter.

Although she was no longer angry with him, now was not a good time to reveal her identity, and she was not planning to do so for the time being. Perhaps by using Yan Jiu's identity, she could find out what exactly happened that night.

However, she decided that she must take him away once he sobered up. Although there were more advantages than disadvantages for him staying here, she could not gamble any longer.

Chu Mubai slept for a full day and night.

When he regained consciousness, he immediately tensed up and tried to get up, but the bandages on his hands hindered his movements, and he lost his strength and fell back onto the bed.

Xia Yixin quickly caught him and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "You're finally awake. If you hadn't woken up, I would have had to give you acupuncture."

Chu Mubai felt something strange about himself. Despite being seriously injured, he felt no exhaustion. Apart from the poison accumulating in his chest and a feeling of tightness, he was in exceptionally good spirits.

Even the composed Chu Mubai frowned slightly.

However, when he saw Yan Jiu (Xia Yixin), his pupils constricted, he pushed her away, and said in a deep voice, "Why did you come back?"

"Why can't I come back? You would have drowned if I hadn't returned." Xia Yixin laughed in exasperation.

Chu Mubai glanced at the sunset outside, not knowing how long he had been unconscious, and frowned, saying, "Hurry up and leave. Before General Li, who is guarding the city, discovers you, leave Maicheng immediately."

"Chu, Mu, Bai!" Xia Yixin gritted her teeth, unable to contain her anger, and said, "Do you know you almost died?"

Chu Mubai said calmly, "That's my business."

His indifferent attitude ignited a fire of anger within her.

"Yes, you orchestrated this self-inflicted injury yourself, didn't you, Lord Chu? You really are willing to sacrifice yourself for righteousness. Have you ever thought about how those who care about you feel?" Xia Yixin was furious.

Chu Mubai frowned. "General Yan, you..."
