Zhou Quan glanced back at the two people and understood why Li Mai had taken them out earlier.

Chu Yan seemed unchanged, but Zhong Hui now possessed the aura of fire-type spiritual energy.

Upon realizing that Zhong Hui was being guarded by a phoenix, he immediately turned pale. It must have been the phoenix that made the move; otherwise, it would have been impossible for an ordinary person to gather spiritual roots and awaken spiritual veins so quickly.

Upon arriving at the main courtyard, the group took their seats according to their status as hosts and guests. The steward personally brought hot tea and then withdrew.

Li Mai sat in the middle, with Yun Chang and Zhou Quan sitting on either side of her.

It was obvious to the three people opposite that Li Mai was in charge.

"I wonder what brings Lord An here today?" Li Mai spoke first.

An Nanyang said, "Last time when you were in Xiabei Town, we didn't have a chance to sit down and have a detailed talk, so I didn't know what happened between you and your husband in Yingzhou City. It was only when my cousin went to Xiabei Town last time that he told us about it, and that's when we realized there had been some misunderstandings."

“Last year, I was able to solve a case easily thanks to your help, and I was very grateful. I haven’t had a chance to thank you yet. Hearing about this now makes me feel even more guilty, and I wanted to come and explain this to you two.” After An Nanyang finished speaking, he glanced at Yun Chang beside him.

What he meant was, "Does Your Highness understand? I'm not using my status to bully your sister."

After entering, Yun Wang didn't give any indication, and he didn't dare to bow, for fear of ruining his plans, since his status was too high in this place.

Yun Chang glanced at An Nanyang, then turned to Li Mai, "What happened? Why didn't you tell me? What happened?"

There were things he didn't know about that happened?

Li Mai smiled faintly and recounted the incident of staying at an inn on their way back.

After Li Mai finished speaking, Yun Chang looked at Xu Changhuan with a cold gaze, as if waiting for her explanation.
